Chapter 1

*Destiny's POV*

I sighed as I looked in the mirror. I was an exact replica of my twin sister, Elena. Our only differences was the fact that I left my hair in it's naturally curly state, and that my eyes seemed to change color with my emotions. Weird huh? I had never really thought about it, but my dad never confronted me about them; no one did.

I was dressed in a cream blouse, corral colored skinny jeans, and teal marble beads around my neck. I tilted my head to the side and my curls fell over my shoulder. At the moment my eyes were a light green, there neutral state. That was how people told Elena and I apart; our different eye color.

I was on my way to put on some flats when I heard Elena call through the door, "You ready yet?" No. I thought sadly. I'd probably never be ready. Ever. I haven't been since mom and dad died in that car crash. Since then I have been holding what remained of my family together. Even with my relentless assistance to keep everyone pleased, Jeremy had turned to drugs, and Elena had closed herself out from us. But I mentioned none of this as I responded, "Yeah, What are you wearing?"

This had become a common question that we had asked each other before we went into public ever since that day during summer.

-Flash back-

I had giddily straightened my hair normally curly locks, since my 14th birthday- or should I say, our 14th birthday?- was today. Mom had given Elena and I a flat iron for our special day. My eye's met my reflexion as I exited the bathroom. A super-cut white lace dress and sandals accompanied with the gold bangles around my left wrist. I had gone shopping with my dad today, while my mom took Elena for shopping.

I rushed out the door. We had a party to attend to and I was late. I had told Elena through the door to walk over there with out me, and assured her that I'd catch up.

Excitement and confidence coursed through me; the dress had caught my attention as soon as my dad and I entered the store, and dad had approved of it.

I hurried over to our neighbors house where th party was being held. As soon as I entered the door Matt squished me with a touchy-feeling hug and crashed his lips onto mine.

I did the only thing that I could think of, and I didn't regret it one bit.

My balled fist connected with his jaw bone and I flipped him over with a shift of my weight. It was a simple move I had learned during my brawling lessons.

"What the hell? Mathew! You cheating scumbag! I'm going to tell my sister! You filthy piece of crap!"

I continued on my rant as I stood over him and there was a small crowd forming around us.

I figured that it was justified considering Matt was certainly my sister's boyfriend! How dare he? She deserved better than this! I guess I didn't know Matt as well as I thought I did.

Just then, Elena rounded the corner into the entry way, and her eyes widened. I guessed most likely because my eyes were most likely a deep red color, the shade that they turn when I am angry. But then I realized why. We looked exactly alike. Not like usual twins alike. But the exact same, from the part of our hair right down the bracelets on our wrists.

My mouth turned a "o" shape as I understood Matt's sudden... attraction. He had thought that I was Elena.

But how could I blame him when we were wearing the exact same dress, shoes, bracelets and hairstyle?

Whoops.

-End of Flash back-

I smiled and shook my into the mirror recalling how afterwards, Matt had apologized profusely to Elena, and then to me. A sigh escaped my lips one last time before I walked outside of my room and into the hallway to meet my twin who twirled around, showing me the jeans and long sleeved T-Shirt.

"You good?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'm good." She gave me weak smile that reflected my state of mind, and we both descended the staircase.

Then I remembered my locket; one of the last things I had to remember my father other than some mere ancestor's old journals. I knew that Elena kept one; and I knew where she hid it, too. But I would, and could never read it. That stuff is personal, and if she wanted me to know something I had to rely on the fact that she would tell me.

"Oops! One sec, go ahead. I got to get something." I ushered her ahead. She nodded and I ran back upstairs. I found the golden locket with a rose etched in marble on the front, and picked it up, running my thumb over the engraving on the back. I willed myself not to cry as I recalled when I had gotten this.

Flashback

It had been a long day of window shopping with my dad, when we stopped to look in the reflective window of a jewelery shop. Elena had gone over to Caroline's house for the day, when my dad asked if I wanted to go shopping.

"Let's go inside." I looked at him, really? I touched my wallet. I knew I only had 57$ in there. A months worth of savings. And even that couldn't buy me half of anything in this shop. Maybe daddy was planning on pitching in...

But I agreed anyway after going over the odds that he would pay some money to get me a new necklace, and we walked into the shop. Immediately both of our eyes caught on a chest of bracelets, necklaces, and rings all jumbled into one large chest set against the wall. Who would mix all of these together? Surely everyting would come out all tangled! And it seemed like valuable stuff! I could spot golden bracelets, ruby and saphire encrusted rings, and pendants of different gems, and carvings. Then I noticed the sign on the wall above this box of valuables.

Take one: We are closing soon.

Honor system.

My dad and I glanced at each other, and thought, what are the chances? Take one of these seemingly priceless objects? That was amazing! We jogged over the chest and began rummaging through the jewelry. I passed through rings, necklaces, and bangles of every variety. I loved each of them overwhelmed by the thought of having to choose one, but when my father lifted a locket with and rose engraving on it, I was sure my eyes turned an even brighter shade of green. I beamed at him and he smiled triumphantly. That was the one I wanted- no contest.

"We'll get it engraved." He declared, seeing as we had some spare cash.

We walked around for a while as I held the locket in the palm of my hand, thinking of its beauty. We decided on a store, and went in. My dad talked to the man at the cash register for a while, and asked to have the engraving done in front of us, and as fast as possible.

He wouldn't tell me what was going to be inscribed into the locket, so I grew curious. We watched him on his machine. After 10 minutes, the letters began to form a word; For. I quirked my head to the side. Then came a word that made more sense, my name: Destiny. For destiny? Okay...

After an hour, the words "For Destiny, so full of joy and hope" were clearly spelled out.

End of Flashback

I smiled at the memory, and everything else that we used to do when we went out. On one of these trips, he told me the family secret. He told all about them. The Vampires. He explained to me about the family history, and he taught me how to survive, and fight one. He had been protecting the family against these creatures for years, and he lent me the diaries to read. I know them by heart now, and have understood the content far passed even my father might have.

Normally he would read them to me before I went to bed, considering I had a knack for memorizing anything I heard.

Even hough I would never at it out loud, in fear of hurting someones feelings, I had always loved my father more than anyone. But that didn't stop me from accepting when my mother pleaded with with me to contest for the 'Miss Mystic Falls'. A huge honor as she put it. She was so excited I couldn't refuse.

Now, since the protecter of our family has... passed, I must step up to ward off all vampires, and shield my family from the beasts. In his will, my father gave me his ring. I glance down at my knuckles to see it on my ring finger. He left it with a note that it had special properties, but I suppose that he couldn't elaborate on that because others would hear his explanation as well.

Snapping out of my reminiscing, I jogged down the stairs. Time for school.

I came down just in time to see Jenna run out the door. Shouldn't she be at her meeting by now?

Oh well. I chuckled to myself at her obvious delayed exit. Jeremy glanced up at me and I gave him a warm smile. He returned it with a small one himself.

I have noticed that I am the only one who he smiles at anymore. Most likely because Elena continually pesters him about "ruining his life". As much as I hate the drugs and the whole "Not caring about anything" attitude, it's his life, and as I might give him advice about decisions, I stay out of his business.

We caught a ride with Bonnie to school.

Eh. Well it's not that I hate her or anything, I just was never as close to Bonnie, or Caroline for that matter. I was closer to Vicki. Sadly, my only other close friend is a teacher... A very … disliked teacher. Disliked maybe to weak of a word, but ever since my parents died, he has become almost like a father to me. Even before that, I considered him my best friend. He inspired me in school, and in all honesty, kept me from traveling down the same path as Jeremy and taking refuge in drugs. I owe him everything, so secretly, I put what is left of the stash of vervain that father left me, into his coffee. It was the least that I could do.

Now, in the car with Bonnie, she was explaining about how her Grams told her that she was a witch. As she explains this, I can only think that she doesn't know how right she may be. Bennett... I think that was in one of Dad's journals. Emily Bennett. It never occurred to me that she could have been a descendent.

On the way, a crow hit our car and Elena freaked.

"Are you alright?" We had both sat in the back so neither one of us would feel left out of the conversation. I frantically checked her over and made sure her seat belt was secure.

"I'm fine. Fine. Can't be scared forever..." I frowned. She could- and had all rights to be- scared of cars. I would get us bicycles or run with her to school if she wanted to. I was the family protecter, I couldn't be afraid of simple things like a motorized vehicles, but as my protectee she was allowed to. It didn't bother me.

We pulled up to the school and I said my good-byes to them as I entered the school. Making a Bee-Line for Mr. Tanner's classroom, I arrived quickly and through open the door. I rushed over to the startled man and hugged him with the force that no teenaged girl should posses. He smiled after hugging me back.

"Good Morning Nity. Do you mind preparing the board for me?"

"No problemo Mr.T." I stated as I picked up the chalk and wrote his name across the top of the board. Mr. Tanner was written legibly on the wipe-off board by the time I was done.

"Are you going to pick on everyone today? I remember last year, everyone was totally mad at you for embarrassing them infort of the entire class!" I snickered and he joined in with his own laughter.

"If I didn't they'd think I had gone soft." I chuckled in agreement. What an alternate universe that would be.

The bell rang an I rushed off to my first period after throwing a 'Good luck with the monkeys, Mr. T' over my shoulder. I sat in the front, and felt a presence behind me. I shook it off... it couldn't be... could it? No. Let it go Destiny... it's probably nothing. But something in the back of mind told me otherwise. Before I could think more on the topic, class started.

The day went by in a blur. I found myself next to Bonnie and Elena before lunch. I cocked my head to the side as they talked on about some boy across the hall.

"I'm sensing Seattle. And he plays guitar." Bonnie 'predicted'.

"You gonna run this whole witch thing to the ground, aren't you?" Elena said.

"Pretty much." Bonnie admitted.

I saw Jeremy walk into the bathroom after making an exchange with a suspicious character. Elena must have seen this also because she excused herself and went after him. I sighed and followed, not wanting her to get too mad at him. They entered the men's bathroom and I rolled my eyes. Nice observation skills Elena, lead us into the place where the guys take a wiz. I walked in hearing Elena fretting over our baby brother.

"Is it on you?"

"No! Are you crazy?"

They bantered on and I noticed some guy had entered the bathroom. I turned to him,

"Dude seriously? This is the girls bathroom!" I lied. The boy quickly ran out of the bathroom, and I giggled at his gullibility.

Returning to the conversation between my siblings I heard Jeremy snip,

"Chill out!"

"Is that stoner talk?" Elena retorted.

"Dude yo are so cool." I chirped with sarcasm lacing my voice, and a smirk on my face.

"I don't need this." He growled.

Jeremy pushed past of both of us, but secretly giving me a high five. I hid my smile, knowing I would only get chastised by my twin for it.

As we excited the men's room with me in the rear, and my sister taking the led, Elena bumped into someone. A very handsome someone. I could see in my sister's eyes that she was taken with him. It has been so long since I had seen Elena like this... It was obvious that she found him very attractive. Even though she pushed me away after the passing of our parents, I could still read my twin like an open book.

But as I met eyes with the someone, who I know know was a man after inspection of his face, I knew that something was wrong, yet … pure... about him. He seemed alarmed at my presence but hid it quickly. I narrowed my eyes at him, but he was currently doing the dance of 'trying to get around someone but you both end up going the same way'. Once they finally finished the routine, we walked to lunch. But as we got put to the courtyard, I spotted the 'handsome someone' again and excused my self, separating from my twin for a moment.

I walked over to him and began talking, "Hello! Im Destiny, but you can call me Nity. Everyone does." I shrugged. It was true, every since a young age, everyone had called me by my nickname. 'Nity' was what I was dubbed after Jeremy was born, and couldn't say Destiny yet. "NITY!" The small child yelled as I had entered the room. My parents had figured that this was just childish talk, but me and Elena knew what he had said. Soon after, she began calling me Nity also, and Jeremy grew up calling me the nickname. Everyone caught on eventually.

Back to the present, he extended his hand and I met it as he introduced himself as,

"Stefan Salvatore, it's a pleasure to meet you."

I smiled, but said,

"Can I talk with you for a moment? I was going to get some water, would you mind coming along?" I thrust my thumb over my shoulder in the direction of the building, where the water fountains resided. Stefan seemed confused but agreed none the less.

As we walked into back into the building, and the door was closed I turned and slammed him into the lockers next to us, and pulled a stake from my bag, holding it against his heart.

Before he could react, I began,

"Look, your a vampire I get it." He was startled by my sudden judgement. "But I don't really appreciate the googly eyes at my twin. But I understand... if this... escalates. You made her smile, and that is something I have not seen in a while. There was spark, and I know you noticed it, too." I smiled because I knew I was right before getting back to giving this boy a good talking to that I would probably feel the need to repeat for Dad's sake in the future.

"But if I get her back from you in less then the perfect condition that I gave her to you in, I will kill you." (AN: Yes, this is partially from the Twilight Saga. Yep. But it fit SO nice. So yeah.)

He nodded, understanding my concern for Elena, but I think a little startled at my bluntness. Stefan blinked his eyes several times.

"Good. And while your here, try to cover your tracks. I wouldn't want the person who has finally made Elena happy have to leave town because the cops became suspicious."

Stefan's Point of view:

At first I was slightly startled about how close the girls look to Katherine, but I was learning fast that they were nothing like her.

Like; wow. I was confused at why she would ask for my company to get some water, but now I understand. She doesn't want the whole school to see her pin me to the wall, and threaten me. Ha.

She had let me down a while ago, and we had moved over to a bench outside. We were making conversation, surprisingly considering not five minutes ago she told me that if I hurt her sister, she would kill me.

"Does that mean that Elena knows?" I questioned. This made things... easier. And harder. Much harder.

"No! Are you crazy? 'Oh yeah Elena, I know that our parents just died; but Vampires are real. Everything you know is wrong.' Ha! No way!" She chuckled and rolled her eyes playfully.

I laughed along with her, now that Destiny had said it in such a silly, blunt way.

"So I guess you did your research then." She spoke, staring out at a tree in the distance.

I stared at her. What did she mean by that? I gave her a questioning look.

"Well you obviously were updated about our parents because you heven't said how completely sorry you are of my loss."

Wow. She was way more insightful then I had first imagined. I was about to respond when the bell rang.

I frowned, she hadn't eaten. Why did the fact that she was hungry bother him? Then he thought about it, it was most likely because of Katherine. Life was so confusing right now. He was brought out of his inner turmoil by Nity speaking.

"What class do you have next?"

"Mr... Tanner? I heard he is mean." That was based on popular roomer, and a girl crying in the hallway complaining about how awful he was. But Nity smiply chuckled at that at murmured,

"Only if you don't know him. I think Elena has that class, too." Wondering what she meant by that I smiled, but an idea struck me.

"Why don't we talk more later. I'll take you to my place after school."

Destiny looked up at him and quirked a brow,

"You know, had anyone else asked me that I would have slapped them across the face. But considering what, and who this is coming from, i'll accept that offer."

"Good," I grinned, "It's a date." Joking lightly, I heard her chuckled as we made their way to Mr. Tanner's class room.

After they were all seated, Stefan realized that he heard a light crunching sound. He looked around curious, to find Destiny munching on chips in the seat ahead of him. He glanced up cautiously, but Mr. Tanner didn't seem to notice or care. I had forgotten that our little confrontation made Destiny miss lunch.

He heard the teacher question Elena about some fact of History, which she couldn't answer. This bothered him, so he answered for her.

"346 Casualties. Unless your counting local civilians." I stated.

"That's Correct Mr..."

"Salvatore." I suplied.

"Salvatore." He repeated. "Any relation to the original settlers here in Mystic Falls?"

Oh God what did I get myself into? I thought fast. "Distant." I replied cooly.

"Very good. Except there were no civilian casualties in this battle."

I had to correct him... I was there for crying out loud! "Actually sir, there were 27." I explained further on how the soldiers had fired on the church.

He looked... mad... "Nity?" he said hopefully.

"27 Mr. T; Ms. Pearl, Fredrick Mastersin, Katherine Pierce, James Maddun... She went on and on with the names until she reached 25, and finished with something I didn't think would come up. "Along with the original Stefan Salvatore, and Damon Salvatore." Destiny turned her head to me, as if asking if that was correct. I nodded, yet stared in disbelief. I was there and I don't know all of those people. The only one that I had remembered was Katherine... Holy crap. Was she a history fanatic?

Mr. Tanner sighed in defeat and moved on, but at one point Elena, a girl named Bonnie, and Destiny were all looking at their laps, and then Nity rolled her eyes and scoffed. I looked back to Elena who I had been staring at along with Destiny, and she met my gaze with a smile.

As we were leaving class, Nity caught my arm an told me,"I forgot that there was a party tonight... why don't we talk more tomorrow? I can't bail on Elena, and I think that you should come, too." Is this the same party that Caroline invited me to? It must be. How many high school parties can one small town have in one night?

I grinned down at her, "Sure. When is it?"

She smirked, "9 o'clock! And don't even dream of skipping out, Salvatore!" She danced out of the class room laughing, leaving me to stare after her.

Later at the Party...

It was all good until Caroline came up. I had forgotten that before Destiny had demanded I come, Caroline had informed me of it.

"You made it!" The blond chriped.

"I did." I replied.

"Well let's get you a drink." She said in a manner that I suppose was her attempting to be seductive.

Before I could stop her, Caroline she was pulling me away.

Destiny's POV:

I was standing with Elena and Bonnie, as they went on about a crystal ball. Bonnie said that she saw a crow and some fog... funny. That's what Elena told me about after she was at the Cemetery visiting mom and dad. I guess that was one of Bonnie's visions! But a crow? What the heck? Creepy much? As we watched Bonnie as she walked away, Stefan showed up in front of Elena. Him and Elena began talking. Well, gosh i'm not that stupid. I can take a hint! I excused myself and let them talk.

I meandered around looking for Vicki. She told me that she had to talk to Jeremy about Tyler... It's awkward and all, my best friend and my brother, but like I said, I stay out of his business... but Vicki did tell me all about it. Speaking of Vicki... I noticed her and Tyler go off into the woods. Oh god... better go be Momma Nity and make sure Vicki doesn't get herself into trouble. When I found them, Vicki was trying to push Tyler off of her. I was just about to step in, and out of the shadows to beat the hell out of him, but Jeremy approached first.

They talked for a minute and then she walked off.

Fudge. I lost track of her. I heard Vicki scream an I ran in that direction.

God Vicki! I ran out to her and Jeremy beat me to it... again! Darn it! She had obviously been attacked by a vampire, but I knew I had to cover it up, for Stefan and Elena... Animal attack! Yes! That is how they normally hide their tracks right?

We all carried Vicki back to the party and someone called an ambulance. This night has passed in a blur. I noticed Stefan no where in sight. No... he wouldn't have! Could he? Only one way to find out.

After making sure that my best friend was secure in the ambulance, I went to the Salvatore boarding house; or as I had known it- Zack's house.

I ran all the way there, and I was there just in time to see Stefan tackling a man to the ground... from his second story window. Well this answers the question. Stefan did not do it. The 'man' that Stefan tackled must have been a vampire. Thinking fast I pulled out 5 steaks from my bag. Yes, I carried a plethora of stakes in any purse or bad that I carry; they come in handy in situations alike this one. I straddled the man after staking both his hands, and each of his legs. I was fast enough to do it before he ripped out my throat. I learned from the best. As I straddled him, I had an extra steak pointed at his heart.

"Care to explain Stefan?" I through out without taking my eyes off of the the vampire underneath me.

"Why Hello, Beautiful." The man beneath me smirked.

"No offense dude, but you are in mo position to be saying anything. So i'm guessing that you bit Vicki in the woods tonight, right?" I questioned accusingly, narrowing my eyes.

"They brunette? Oh, yeah, she was delicious." He said sickeningly.

I ground my 5th stake into his shoulder an got real close to him.

"Don't even." Apparently up close to him, he could see me better, because the next moment he asked, "Elena? Or..." He squinted , "No! Wow Stef! Twins? The luck! Can I have this one?" He says with a smirk.

I just rolled my eyes and asked again, "Stef, who is this?"

Stefan paused.

"My brother."

How'd yall like it? Yes, no? Maybe so? lol Review?
