I do NOT OWN The Vampire Diaries: I only OWN Flora McCall.

"We're burning down
We're burning down
we're the ashes on the ground
We're burning down
We're burning down
we're falling underground
If you can see me running up to you
You know
I've been running in circles around you
If you could tell me I was back in time
You know
I've been running in circles for you."
Song for Intro & Description: "Circles"

INTRO

"Flora, calm down."

"I can't. It hurts, it hurts too much. Why is this happening?"

"You can. You are stronger than this."

"Stefan, I'm slipping! Get out of here!"

"No! I'm not leaving you."

"You have too! Please! I don't know what I'd do if I killed you. Go!"

DESCRIPTION

Flora McCall is the 'aunt' of Elena and Jeremy Gilbert. She is 20 and already graduated from college with a bachelors degree. Ever since she was born, she was a protégé, picking up things quickly or aka having a photographic memory. That was thanks to her godmother and godfather, Miranda and Grayson Gilbert.

Ever since she graduated high school, she wanted to teach History, inspired by all of the dates and the information that was given to her. So, she decided to become the assistant teacher at her old high school. She taught along side Tanner, aka the douche bag football coach.

After Elena ended her sophomore year of high school, she wanted to go to a party with her boyfriend, Matt Donovan. Miranda and Grayson said no, knowing that it was game night at the Gilbert household. But, with Flora to the rescue, she helped her sneak out. Later that night, Miranda and Grayson found out when Elena called, saying that she was sorry for bailing and that she wanted to go home.

Flora went with them, feeling like she needed to go for some reason. Once they picked up Elena, they were driving, when horror struck. The car swerved over the bridge and into the water. Miranda died on impact sadly as Grayson, Elena and Flora were drowning. Well, that was until the two girl passed out, thinking that they were going to never wake up.

They were wrong.

When they had awakened, they were in the hospital with their beds side by side. Jenna and Jeremy were beside them, crying as they saw their eyes open. They broke the news to them that their parents didn't make it, making them cry and sob as their heart broke.

Elena and Jeremy were officially orphans, while Flora lost her godparents.

A couple months later, the Gilbert siblings went into their phases. Elena stayed quiet and Jeremy went to drugs and alcohol. After Flora and Elena were released, Flora found out that Miranda and Grayson put her down as the guardian of their chilled if anything were to happen to them.

Flora became the adult of the household. Their Aunt Jenna stayed with them for the summer, until she knew that Flora was ready to take care of the two siblings. She knew that Jenna was a little relieved that she wasn't chosen to take care of the two, but was also jealous. When Jenna left, Flora was terrified, not wanting to make Miranda and Grayson regret handing custody of their children to her.

What happens when the Salvatore brothers come to town? What happens when the Salvatore's lands their eyes on Flora and Elena?

Well, you'll just have to find out in
"Circles"
