I wanna thank you to my Beta, Gracie for all the help and support she is given me. Love you, girl. Read her story guys. It is great. The link for her story and her profile on my profile and of course my friends outside the fan fiction world.

Chapter I

Pilot

For over a century I lived in secret, hiding in the shadows, alone in the world until now. I am a vampire. And this is my story.

Mystic Falls, Virginia

Highway

A car on a highway with a couple inside, they were speaking about a concert they had just been to see outside of the town, the man named Darren Malloy hadn't been very impressed with what he had seen, but if his woman Brooke Fenton was happy then he was happy.

"One hour of driving to hear nothing. It wasn't even a band, but a guy with a guitar. One hour each way." Young Darren with shaggy dark brown hair says with clear disappointment in his voice.

"It wasn't that bad." The blonde with a pout on her lips defends as she reached over and pushed him teasingly.

"It looked like James Blunt." He counters with a frown which she caught, she liked James Blunt.

"And what is the problem?"

"We already have a James Blunt and that is enough." He answers and she laughs a little covering her face shaking her head from side to side making her blonde locks bounce with the movement.

"So, why did you come?" She cocks a thinly shaped eye brow at him and he reaches over and holds her hand within his own.

"Because, I love you." He replies to her with a cheesy grin playing on his lips, she nods her head quickly.

"Nicely done." She approves of the way he easily redeemed himself as they continue down the road when they see a thick fog starting to form around the car, it layers the road in front of them with a thick blanket. "What about all this fog?" Brooke asks as she looks out of her window at it suspiciously.

"It will pass soon." He answers as he continued to drive carefully through the thick mist, trying desperately to keep on the road.

Suddenly Brooke saw a dark figure through the fog laying down the ground, she screams as the car sped towards him. "Watch out!" She hollered.

Darren tries to stop in time but it was too late, the car jumps as it ran over the dark, mysterious figure on the floor. He skids to a halt in the middle of the road taking up both lanes as the couple sat there in complete and utter shock.

"Are you okay?" Darren questions his girlfriend fearfully but she was in a serious state of shock, they had just killed a person.

"We run over someone." She breaths out as she stares down at the road, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights "My God!"

"Call for help." Darren orders as he gets out of the car to attend to the person that had just hit, he tries to search for the body over his own panic.

Brooke was trying to get reception on her phone but she couldn't get any, she almost in hysteria "Come on! Come on!" She whispers under her breath closing her eyes trying to stop herself from shaking.

Darren saw the male laying in the middle of the road, he sprints over to him muttering under his breath. "Please tell me you're alive!" He took the mans hand taking note of the large ring on his finger as he checks his pulse for any sign of life. Nothing. "My God."

The poor dark haired Darren was taken by surprise when the 'dead' body in front of him reanimated and grabs him by his neck at a speed that was like a blur as he tares into his neck with his deadly sharp fangs.

Brooke climbs from her boyfriends' car tears streaming down her cheeks from the fear and shock of what had happened. "There is no signal! Darren!" She calls into the silent night.

When she doesn't hear back from him a new state of panic washes over her, looking around for her boyfriend who was nowhere to be seen. "Darren?" She shouts as loud as she could when suddenly there was a slam on the hood of the car, looking over her shoulder she sees her boyfriend laying across the bonnet with a chunk missing from his neck.

She screams loudly as she takes off down the road running as fast as her legs could carry her but it wasn't fast enough and the predator caught her.

Next day

It was early morning as a tall boy stood on top of the roof of his house looking out into the thick forest that circled the property.

I should not have returned home. I know it's risky but I had no choice. I have to know her.

He took slow steps towards the edge of the roof looking out for another moment before taking a leap hurdling towards the floor, but he hit it as light as a feather.

The Gilbert House

Eva's room

Young Eva Gilbert sat in her room on the window seat on looking the front of the house as she was writing in her song book. One of her many passions is writing and preforming music. The song she was currently working on reminded her greatly of her parents and their untimely death.

"Burning Bridges" (AN.: the song belongs to Jessie James, from the album "Jessie James". I'm only using for my OC).

Spotlights have a funny glow
they can keep you warm
But they can make you go crazy
Always gotta be the show
so you never know
what it's like being in the crowd

Lately I'm hearing people say
you're a runaway and somebody's got to bring
you back to reality
help you see the things
that you might've been looking past

I ain't burning bridges
I'm tryin' to mend them
I apologize if I ever hurt your feelings
Got my own convictions
And I've got to live them
I ain't burnin' bridges
That ain't my intention

Ain't got nothin' to hide
Yeah I'm good with God
Soul is naked like water
You and I wouldn't want to see
The girl I'd be if I wouldn't have turned you down

Show me so many things
But the best would be
Never ever roll over
Stand up for what I believe
And eventually everyone will come back around

I ain't burning bridges
I'm tryin' to mend them
I apologize if I ever hurt your feelings
Got my own convictions
And I've got to live them

I ain't burnin' bridges
That ain't my intention

Always three sides to every story
There's yours and there's mine
But we've been ignoring
The truth it hides behind a clear disguise

I ain't burning bridges
I'm tryin' to mend them
I apologize if I ever hurt your feelings
Got my own convictions
And I've got to live them

I ain't burnin' bridges
That ain't my intention

"Perfect!" Eva muttered under her breath as she brushed her long chocolate brown locks from her eyes as she closes her song book. "I'm gonna sing tonight." She announces proud of her hard work.

She places the book on her vanity table as she walks over to her closest, grabbing an old pair of dark wash jeans and a white shirt with a pattern on the front and of course her signature black high heeled boots.

She takes a trip over to her jewelry box which was sitting on her vanity table one again and opened it choosing a pair of simple earrings with her favorite golden necklace with heart shaped locket which contained a picture of her late parents. Finally, a charmed bracelet which had blue stones around the outside, apparently it was charmed by a witch which was what her father used to tell her.

Looking at the full length mirror at herself she took in a small shaky breath "I'm ready for a new year, I hope."

She knows perfectly that her twin sister and her brother weren't okay, just like her, but she and Elena being twins, they knew perfectly what the other was feeling, everyone says that happens is because they are twin sisters. Both of them created a front to make the others stop asking if they were alright. She picks up her leather jacket and her school bag and leaves. Knocks on her twin sister, Elena bedroom door.

"Elena, are you ready? I'll be in the kitchen waiting!" Eva calls through the door for a moment waiting for her twin to respond.

"Okay. I will be down in a minute, Eva." Elena answers and Eva nods giving her sister some space for her to get ready.

Afterwards, she descends the stairs and goes to the kitchen, eating something while waiting for her sister to go to school with a friend of both, Bonnie Bennett.

Elena's room

Meanwhile, Elena is writing in her journal and hears his sister calling her.

"Elena, are you ready? I'll be in the kitchen waiting!" Eva calls on the other side of the door.

"Okay. I will be down in a minute, Eva." She answers as she looks down into her diary and decides to write her thoughts.

Dear diary,

Today will be different. Has to be. I'll smile and be credible. My smile will say: "I'm fine, thank you." and "Yes, I feel much better."

Glancing around her room she look at the pictures of herself with her parents and siblings, she and her twin sister.

I will not be sad girl who lost her parents. I'll start fresh, I'll be someone new. It's the only way to survive. I need to be strong because of Jeremy, but I can see that Eva is feeling the same I am feeling. We need to be strong. All of us. We all miss our parents. I miss my mom because she always would give advices about boys just like Eva. They were our anchors.

She looks in the mirror at herself wearing a crimson red top and some jeans and her converse. She also wears a small gold necklace and earrings. Grabs her schoolbag and leaves the room and goes to the kitchen, where her sister is waiting.

Gilbert kitchen

Elena enters the kitchen looking around for a moment at her small family; Eva is already at the table drinking coffee. And their Aunt Jenna, their legal guardian, was panicking about them going back to school and not being ready.

"Toast? I can make toast." Jenna asks in a rushed voice, she honestly had no time to make them any breakfast, she was behind as well, and she needed to get to going.

Eva walks over to Elena and passes her a large cup for her to get some coffee, the twins knew each other morning routines so well "It's all about the coffee, Aunt Jenna." Elena answers giving her twin a grateful smile.

"That's what I told her, 'Lena." Eva informs her twin in a joking voice as her twin grabs the coffee pot pouring some into her mug and she washes up her mug finished with her mourning drink placing it on the washboard.

Their younger brother Jeremy walks in looking absolutely exhausted, he looks over at Elena who was mauling over her coffee. "Is there coffee?" Jeremy asks as he takes it from her coffee, she shot him a dirty look.

"It's your first day of school and I am completely unprepared." Jenna mused as she grabs her purse opening the compartment where she kept her money and takes out some money for her nephew and nieces to eat in the school cafeteria. "Money for lunch?"

"No need." Elena replies holding up her hand signaling no.

Eva shook her head too "I have some money from the job at the Grill. But thanks, Aunt Jenna." Eva says with a proud smile.

Jeremy did hesitate to grab the money from Jenna and tuck it away into the pocket of his hoody.

"Anything else? A number two pencil? What am I missing?" Jenna panicked looking through her back anxiously.

"Don't you have that big presentation today?" Elena asks curiously as her Aunt nodded quickly.

"I have a meeting with my thesis advisor..." She glanced at her watch "Now. Crap!" Jenna takes her light brown hair out of the ponytail it was it and shakes it out loosely.

"So go. We'll be fine." Elena assures her with a kind smile.

"Yes, Aunt Jenna. We are going to school. So don't worry. Like my twin said, we will be fine. Don't worry." Eva completes patting her twins shoulder comfortingly.

Jenna looks at her nieces and grabs her stuff and exits the house towards her waiting car. Elena leaned against the table and looks at her sister and then looks at her brother and decides to ask if he's okay.

"You okay?" she asks to Jeremy with a concerned look on her face.

"Don't start." With that Jeremy leaves the kitchen still nursing his cup of coffee.

Eva looks at her with a defeated smile, Jeremy had been so distance since their parents' death. "Leave him be. He will come to us when he is ready."

"You right but I worry about him. He is always getting high." Elena's voice was small trying to make sure that Jeremy doesn't hear them.

"I know, but if we press him too much, he will push even more away from us." Eva counters with a frown, that was the last thing she wanted to push their little brother away from them.

"And you? Are you okay?" Elena questions with a sad smile but Eva just rolls her eyes at her.

"You know how I am, just like I know how you are."

"Twins!" Elena laughs and so did Eva they hug for a moment before Eva pulled away grabbing her leather jacket and bag.

"Right! Let's go. Bonnie is waiting." Eva glanced over at the TV about to turn it off when she saw two young people pop up on the screen the names were, Darren Fenton and Brooke Malloy, both 24 and 22 years old, she frowned before switching the TV off.

Bonnie's car

The sisters are in the car with Bonnie Bennett, one of the best friends of the sisters. Elena was in the passenger seat while Eva was in the backseat. Both were and still are more distracted when they pass through the cemetery.

"My grams go on to tell me that I am psychic. Our ancestors are from Salem, which is not so... I know crazy. But she will not stop talking about it, and I think, put this woman in a home! But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger, and still think Florida is going to separate and process into little resort islands." She babbles on and on as both the twins stare out the window into the cemetery where their parents were buried "Elena! Eva! Back to the car." Elena and Eva to hear Bonnie, they look at her.

"We did it again, right? Sorry Bonnie." Elena frowns putting her head down almost ashamed of what she had done.

"It's hard, Bonnie. Pass by the cemetery and know they are there and not here." Eva apologizes reaching over to pat her sister on the shoulder.

"You were saying that?" Elena made an attempt to change the subject as she avoided looking at the cemetery next to her.

"That now I'm psychic." She answers almost proudly of herself as the two Gilbert girls gave her a skeptical look.

Elena nods looking over at her best friend before saying. "Right. Okay, predicts anything. About Me."

"About me, too. I'll get a music contract?" Eva gives her opinion with a cheeky smile playing on her lips.

"I'll see…" Bonnie starts as she looks out into the road trying to focus but suddenly out of nowhere, a black crow falls into the glass front of the car, scaring the girls, Bonnie slams her foot down on the break and the screeches the car stops at the side of the road.

"What was that? Oh My God, You are right, Elena? And you Eva?" Bonnie asks concerned for the two passengers in her car.

"It's okay. I'm fine." Elena answers looking fearfully out of the window to see that whatever had hit the car was now gone.

"And you, Eva?" Bonnie asks again looking over her shoulder at the other brunette who sat in the back clutching the seat her eyes wide.

"I'm fine. Not worry about it." Eva says brushing off what had just happened trying to calm herself down.

"It was a bird or something. Came out of nowhere." Bonnie tries to explain to the girls who were still a little wary of cars considering they had been in a car accident which had been the death of their parents.

"Really, me and Eva, we cannot continue indefinitely to be terrified of cars." Elena answers as she glances over at Eva who nodded in agreement.

"I predict that this year will be awesome. And I predict that eventually the sad times and dark will be over and you both will be beyond happy." Bonnie informs them Elena and her sister started smiling from ear to ear, which infects Bonnie smiling with them.

Soon after Bonnie and the Gilbert sisters, start going again to Mystic Falls High School and not noticing that the crow that had hit their car was sat watching them in the car.

Mystic Falls High

In the school, all students meet and talk about their vacations. Until they see a strange guy going to the entrance of the school. He was wearing dark jeans and a sweater with hood and a brown leather jacket. He had sunglasses, where could not see the color of his eyes.

The Gilbert sisters and Bonnie were walking inside the school talking idly. They were approaching their lockers.

"The male population is bad this year." Bonnie says as she watches all the guys in their year pass them with a disgruntled look on her face.

Elena and Eva look at each other smirking a little before rolling their dark brown eyes at their best friend. The gossip has already started. Bonnie continues to talk about students as they passed them.

"Look at the shower curtain Kelly Beach. She looks like a hot – can I still say 'tranny-mess'." Bonnie scoffed trying to find a phrase to describe the student.

"No, that is over." Eva answered as she put a couple of things into her locker not even bother to look at her best friend.

"Find a man for you both. It is a busy year." Bonnie answered noticing that Eva's head was in the clouds once again and the other Gilbert sister wasn't paying attention to her.

Elena turns around and finds Matt Donovan, the former boyfriend, looking at her. She says waves over to him saying hello but he turns his face and walks away from her ignoring her.

"He hates me." Elena sighed.

"That is not hate. That is: "You dumped me, but I'm too cool to show it, but secretly, I'm listening to the hits of Air Supply."" Bonnie says pouting a little seeing the look that Elena was giving her.

"And the way Tyler hates me?" Eva spoke up from beside them. "I broke up with Tyler and he is now sleeping with Vicki and probably using drugs." She added with a small sigh.

A preppy, long legged, Barbie blonde beauty queen Caroline Forbes approaches the group of friends with a giant pearly white grin on her face as she tucked one of her long golden locks behind her ear seeing the two twins again.

"Elena? Eva? My God, how are you?" She gushed to the two sisters hugging them at the same time Elena and Eva make a strange face being this close to her showing they are feeling uncomfortable. "It's so good to see you."

When the preppy blonde pulls away she turns to Bonnie and asks her something as if the twins were not present. "How are they? Are they okay?"

"Caroline, we're here." Elena says holding up her hand giving her a strange look a small frown pulling over Caroline's lips.

"And we're fine, thanks." Eva completes with a curt nod looking down at the ground for moment before looking up into the blondes sea blue eyes.

"Really?"

"Yes, we are much better." Elena confirms looking over to her sister who was rolling her dark orbs fed up with everyone poking their noses in their business.

"Do not worry, Caroline. We are perfectly fine." Eva says before the blonde cooed over them again with that same goofy smile as before.

"Poor things." Caroline embraces Elena and Eva once again much to the girls dismay.

"All right, Caroline." Elena tried to escape her grip as Caroline frees Eva and Elena letting them standing there.

Caroline gave them that same dazzling smile before wiggling her fingers at them "See you later?"

"Okay, bye!" Elena says all smiles as Caroline turns on her heels and walks down the hall her perfect blonde hair bouncing with each step.

Elena pivoted on her heel to look at her sister and Bonnie with a look which made them both laugh a little. "No comment. I will not say anything." Elena says promising.

"Continues being always crazy as ever Caroline." Eva says laughing.

Just outside of the school, Jeremy was with standing with Vicki Donovan where he is selling drugs. "Do not take more than two in a six-hour window." Jeremy puts the pill in the hand of Vicki and she takes the pill straight down.

They look at each other for a moment in silence when suddenly a voice appears from behind them, startling them both. "Hey, Vicki. I knew that you would be here with the crack kids." Tyler Lockwood said as he approached the two.

Vicki embraces Tyler all happy. Tyler takes the cigarette from Jeremy. "Pete Wentz called. We wants the nail polish back." The older boy insults him a smirk on his lips as he held Vicki around the waist.

"The Peter Wentz? How old school T.R.L. Of you. Carson Daly fan?" Jeremy gave him a witty response as Tyler was preparing to attack Jeremy but Vicki stops him.

"Come on, Ty. Be nice. It is the younger brother of Elena and Eva." She informs him and Tyler grits his teeth rolling his eyes once more squeezing his fists together.

"I know who he is. I'll still kick his ass." Tyler answers narrowing his eyes at the younger boy who continued to stare him down evilly.

Tyler and Vicki kiss each other heatedly taking away all the anger from the jock. Jeremy on the other hand shakes his head in disgust and disappointment. "That way, Eva will never want anything with you again." Jeremy murmurs under his breath.

Inside the school

Eva, Bonnie and Elena were on their way to find the classroom. They pass close to the office and see the mysterious young man with a leather jacket, dark wash jeans and light brown hair collect his own schedule. Bonnie looking was the first to see the handsome back of the young man.

"Wait a minute. Who is this?" Bonnie cocks a perfectly shaped eye brow as Elena and Eva turn to look at the back of the light brown haired boy.

"All I see is the back." Elena says creasing her eye brows as Bonnie gnaws on her bottom lip suggestively.

"It's a hot back." Bonnie says the corner of her mouth lifting into a smile as she looks across at Eva who had the same expression on her heart shaped face.

"And hint of mystery. Perfect for you my twin." Eva purrs at her twin who in turn just rolls her eyes.

"Thanks, twin."

Inside the office

"Your records are incomplete." The school secretary informs him with a frown on her lips "You're missing immunization records, and we do insist on transcripts." the secretary said as she flicked through the young mans paper work.

The young man takes off his expensive looking sun glasses and looks deep into her eyes of the secretary. "Look again, please. I am sure that there is everything you need."

The secretary looks back at the papers again before answering with a kind smile. "You are right. So it is."

In the school hallway

"I sense Seattle, and plays guitar. Like you, Eva." Bonnie says a grin spreading across her face as she turned to the Gilbert twin.

"Cool. Maybe I can learn new tricks." Eva answers in an excited tone biting her bottom lip gently as she shrugs her shoulders.

"You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground, huh?" Elena asks adding a small laugh onto the end as she cocks her eye brow at her olive skin toned friend.

"Pretty much."

The three friends start laughing. Elena and Eva, see their younger brother going inside of the bathroom. Elena makes a sign to Eva who in return gave her a sad smile.

"I'll be right back." Elena announces as she stalks towards the boys bathroom whilst the other twin stayed behind. She knows when Jeremy is ready to talk, he will talk.

Bonnie continues staring to the mystery guys back chanting lightly under her breath whilst linking her fingers together. "Please, be hot."

Eva began to worry for Elena and Jeremy and decides to look for her sister. She was always saying to Elena, when he was ready to talk, he would, but her twin was stubborn. "Bonnie, I'm gonna find my sister, okay?"

Bonnie nods her head understanding what Eva said but never taking her round eyes off the new guy's back.

Man's Bathroom

Jeremy put a few drops of a liquid in the eye when Elena storms the men's bathroom. "Wow! Pants down, chick!" A voice came from behind them, but Elena chose to ignore it as she grabbed her brothers face looking into his eyes.

"Great! First day of school and you're stoned." Elena spat shaking her head in disappointment.

"No, I'm not." Jeremy denies quickly, but Elena wasn't going to believe him, she knew what her little brother was like.

"Where is it? Is on you?" She presses patting down his clothes but he squirms away from her keeping the space between them.

"Stop! Just chill yourself, okay?"

"Chill myself? What is this? Stoner talk? Dude, you're so cool!" Elena's voice was drenched in a deep sarcasm as she shook her head from side to side.

"Stop! I don't have anything on me. Are you crazy?"

"You have not seen me crazy, Jeremy! I gave you summer pass, but I'm sick of seeing you destroy yourself!" Elena answers, she was just so worried her brother was going to fall further and further down this path and he wasn't going to be able to stop.

Jeremy tries get out of Elena's grasp but she pushes him against the counter with all of her force. "No, no, no. You know what? Go ahead. Keep it up. But know that you stay I'll be here buzz you every time I see you stoned, got it?"

Someone steps out of the toilet giving them both a funny look, seeing that a girl was in the boys toilets and leaves the bathroom. Both siblings stop talking for a moment as he leaves.

"Eva wouldn't do this to me." Jeremy says knowing that he will hurt Elena, trying to turn both the sisters against one another.

"She thinks that when you're ready to talk to us, you would come to us to talk, but I do not want to see you get stoned every day. I know you, Jeremy. And you're not this person. So do not be that person." Elena begs but the younger boy just shook his head as he breaks from her grip finally.

"I do not need this." With this, Jeremy leaves the bathroom leaving Elena alone in there to process her thoughts for a moment.

Just outside at the door of the office Bonnie hears the boy and sees his face, he was so handsome with a strong jaw line, perfect masculine shaped lips, and light brown hair that had been styled and smoldering forest green eyes.

The boy goes towards the bathroom, passing by his school-mates. Caroline and smiles to herself as Elena, whose was in the bathroom exits and collides with the mysterious stranger

"Sorry. Is this men's bathroom?" The stranger questions as he looks down at the stunning brunette in front of him.

"Yes I was just ... It's a long story." Elena stutters around her words as she pushes her hands through her chocolate brown hair a red tingle over her cheeks from embarrassment.

Eva was waiting for her sister on the side lines and saw this she quickly took off to help her out getting out of the embarrassment she was in. "Twin! 'Lena, I came look for you. Come on." Eva says.

The mysterious boy sees Eva and is amazed, his eyes brows raised at the sight of her. He goes to the left to let Elena pass but she goes to the same side, until finally manages to pass.

"Thank you."

The boy watches as Elena and Eva go through the hallway talking on the way to their class. Both girls look back over their shoulders and see that the forest green eyed boy was standing there watching them.

History Classroom

Mr. Tanner, the history teacher, was explaining the history of Confederation in 1861 and the State of Virginia to his class that sat listening to him with bored looks on their faces. "As our state of Virginia joined the Confederacy in 1861, this created an enormous tension within the state..."

Matt Donovan, Elena's ex-boyfriend, looks at her in the middle of class with a sad look on his face. Elena glanced over her shoulder to see the golden haired boy watching her longingly, feeling bad for ending the relationship with him.

"People in Virginia's northwest region had different ideals than those from the traditional deep south." the teacher continues.

Elena then moves her look to the new student who sat leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest, he felt her her gaze on him and looked over to connect their glances.

Meanwhile, Eva glances back at Tyler, her ex-boyfriend to see how he is. In Tyler turn, is looking at Eva his eyes scanning over her face to try and read her.

"Virginia was divided in 1863, with the northeastern region to join the Union."

When Matt looks towards his ex-girlfriend again she swiftly looks away from the new boy leaving him smiling to himself.

Elena smiles biting her bottom lip tucking a piece of her chocolate brown hair behind her ear before looking across at her sister. Eva had an overly happy look on her face and Elena gave her an questionable look but her twin just looked away thinking how happy she was to see Elena happy again.

Tyler doesn't stop looking at Eva and it was beginning to make her uncomfortable with those looks rubbing the back of her neck whilst just keeping her stare down on the notepad in front of her.

Bonnie, in turn, was sending messages to Elena about the new student, saying he is looking for her. Then she sends another to Eva saying that Tyler had not stopped looking at her.

Elena shimmies her phone out of her pocket and secretly reads the message. Eva does the same with her phone and reads the message from Bonnie.

Hawt-e staring u. Elena message from Bonnie about the new boy Stefan looking at her from across the room.

Tyler still staring u. Eva message from Bonnie about her ex-boyfriends longing looks from behind her.

Both girls shake their heads. Elena gave a sad smile to Eva seeing the uncomfortable look on her face knowing that it must had been Tyler.

Cemetery

Elena and Eva were both on the way to the Mystic Falls cemetery. They are going to visit the grave of their deceased parents.

When they are already on the spot just next to their parents graves, Eva is sat with her back against a tombstone casually writing songs about the end of her relationship with Tyler on her song book. The name of the song is "I Look So Good (Without U)" (A.N.: the song belongs to Jessie James, I'm only using for my OC).

Mmm Yeah

Hey boy I would of thought that when you left me
I'd be broken with my confidence gone, so bummed
Hey boy I would of thought that when you said that you don't want me
I'd feel ugly n sense something was wrong
Standing in front of the mirror, my skin's never been clearer
My smile's never been brighter

I look so good without you
Got me a new hairdo
Lookin' fresh n brand new
Since you said "that we're through"
Done.. with your lies
Baby now my tears dried
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye
I look so good, I look so good without you
I look so good, I look so good without you

I look so good without you
Got me a new hairdo
Lookin' fresh n brand new
Since you said "that we're through"
Done.. with your lies
Baby now my tears dried
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye
I look so good, I look so good without you
I look so good, I look so good without you

Now baby my body's lookin' better than before
Ain't bitin' my nails since you walked out of that door
I realized now I deserve so much more than what you give
Than what you give (than what you give…)

I look so good without you
Got me a new hairdo
Lookin' fresh n brand new
Since you said "that we're through"
I look so good without you
Got me a new hairdo
Lookin' fresh n brand new
Since you said "that we're through"
Done… with your lies
Baby now my tears dried
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye

I look so good without you
Got me a new hairdo
Lookin' fresh n brand new
Since you said "that we're through"
Done.. with your lies
Baby now my tears dried
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye
I look so good ,I look so good without you
I look so good, I look so good without you

Elena was sat next to her twin writing in her journal about the first day of school.

Dear Diary,

I made it through the day. I mean, me and Eva made it through. We must have said: "We are well, thank you." at least 37 times. And never once did I feel it. But nobody noticed. Eva feels the same, I know it, so she is here with me writing songs. When someone asks, "How are you?" They really don't want an answer.

Suddenly a crow appears and lands on the grave of the twins parents. The animal does screeches loudly and tilts its head watching both girls, moving around on the tombstone of the girls' parents.

Both the girls look up when the birds makes yet another noise and they glances at each other before standing up dusting themselves off.

"Hello bird." Elena says.

"It's kinda of cute." Eva responds as she looks deep into the black soulless eyes of the crow in front of her.

"This is not scary or anything." Elena wrapped her arms around herself stopping the goose bumps from rising on her arms. Looking down at her shoes to see a thick fog approaching around her feet. "Uh, Eva, where did this fog come from?"

Both begin to look around just feeling off about being in the spooky graveyard. Eva starts getting scared as she reached over and took her sisters hand. "Let's get out of here." Eva demands.

"No. Let's wait. I'm gonna send the bird away." The crow continues to make his loud bone-chilling noise and Elena walks over timidly shaking her jacket at it. "Shoo." It fluttered its wings and flew away. "I thought so."

"'Lena, I'm getting nervous." Eva voices her fear to her twin, Elena gave her sister a look at the crow screeched again from behind them, they jolt and quickly gather their personal items.

Eva creases her eye brows when she see a dark figure behind one of the statues, with that she went into panic and swiftly they leave at a fast pace before Elena tripped on a tree root and fell down with a thud.

"Lena! Are you okay?" Eva questions as she helped her twin stand back up with a concerned look on her face.

"Yes, let's go." Elena answers in a nervous voice, the fog that had made a thick blanket on the floor had almost completely vanished into the air.

Elena limped with the help of her sister and they were both startled when they saw the new student Stefan approaching them with a concerned look on his face as he asks "Are you okay?"

"Were you following us?" Elena looks up at him to see his concerned face turn into a confused one.

"No, I saw you fall. And I thought I'd help you." Stefan replies to them innocently as he watches Eva laugh to herself.

"She can be clumsy sometimes." Eva laughs gently. "Are you okay, 'Lena?" She looks at her sister creasing her eye brows.

"Yes, I'm okay, Eva." Elena vented frustrated "And you were just hanging out in a cemetery?" Elena asks cocking her eye brow at the forest green eyed boy who shrugged his shoulders.

"I was visiting. I have family here." He informs them both, Elena's mouth fell ajar and Eva shook her head looking up at the sky for a moment.

"Wow. What my lack of tact." Elena mutters under her breath feeling so anger with herself for being heartless and jumping to conclusions.

"Sorry, uh, sometimes Elena can, uh, jump to conclusions." Eva quickly defends her sister and Stefan smirked and nodded at the loyalty of the two.

Elena looks at her sister giving her a look. "I am so sorry. Is this fog, it's making me foggy." Elena explains hopelessly shaking her head. "And back there was a bird and for moments everything looked very Hitchcock. That is the bird movie, right, the Hitchcock?" Elena shut her eyes for a moment trying to calm herself, she reopened them to see the amused looks on both Eva and Stefan's faces for her babbling. "I'm Elena and this is my twin sister, Eva."

The new student was looking at Elena very intently, Eva could seeing this and couldn't help but think that something was going to happen between her sister and this mysterious guy.

"I'm Stefan." He introduces himself with a charming smile tilting his head to the side

"It's nice to finally actually meet you." Eva says with a confident nod as she tried to find the words to explain herself. "I mean, we have classes together."

"I know. We have History together." Stefan nods remember seeing her exchanging glances with Tyler from across the room.

"And English and French." Eva added and he nods again remembering see her in his other classes too.

"Right." Stefan sees a leaf matted into Elena's hair and softly he pulls it out without hurting her.

"Thanks." Elena smiles a heavy blush pulling over her cheeks as Stefan smiles back at her. Eva seeing the looks between her sister and Stefan she moved away to wait for her giving them both some space.

Elena doesn't seem to notice that Eva has left them both to talk. They continued staring at each other. Elena sees a ring on Stefan's finger; it was big and clunky with a large blue stone in the middle. "Nice ring."

"Yeah, it's a family ring. I'm stuck with it. It's weird, huh?" He chuckled looking down at his own hand to admire his ring.

"No, no." Elena laughs a little bit looking at the the forest green eyed boy with an adorable smile on her face that he loved so much. They were talking and staring at each other lovingly whilst Eva stood back.

A man dressed in black was in the middle of tall trees watching them all, but his main focus was on watch Eva, licking his lips at the mere sight of her. You are so beautiful. You are going to be mine. The man thought.

Stefan and Elena continued to talk and flirt with each other when he suddenly smells something, it fills his entire body and has to gulp just to try and refrain himself. "D-Did you hurt yourself?" He stutters nervously.

Elena glances down at her leg and goes to the bench were her sister was sat waiting for her to stop flirting with Stefan. "I don't know." She admits as she raises her leg on the bench.

"Lena, are you okay?" Eva asked worried as Elena rolls the hem of her jeans up around her ankle to reveal a cut that was leaking thick oozing blood.

"Look at this. This is not even pretty." Elena laughs a little bit looking down at Eva who looks a little pale from the slight of blood.

Stefan swiftly turns his back to the sisters. When he is sure they couldn't see he could feel his eyes the dark veins appearing under his eyes, he tried to calm himself down by the smell was too tempting.

"You are okay?" Elena asked Stefan concerned as Eva inspected the cut trying to figure out of it was infected or worse than what it looks.

"You and your sister should go. Take care of that." Stefan ordered in a gruff voice as he continued not to look at him, his gums beginning to ache

"Really, it's nothing." Elena tries to assure him but as she turned back around she saw that he was no longer standing there, no sign of him ever being there to begin with, both of the girls glanced wearily at each other.

Both were now feeling a bit timid and unsure about everything. Not only that bird and fog, now the new guy, Stefan, too. He was so mysterious and hard to place. This town was starting to become strange.

"Let's go home, 'Lena." Eva suggests as she glances around them nervously, Elena looks on for a moment more before turning back to her twin.

"Yes, let's go home." Elena confirms, they gather their stuff and then proceed to venture home.

"I have work today." Eva remembers as they were on their way home. "I'm going to sing at The Grill. Are coming to watch me?" Eva asks her eyes wide with hope and excitement.

"Of course I'm going." Elena laughs as she looked over at her twin who was over the moon. "I'm always going to watch my twin sing." She reminded her with confidence.

Salvatore Boarding House

Stefan was sat up in his bedroom at his desk writing in his journal about his day, writing in a beautiful script on the pages.

I lost control today. Everything I buried it inside come rushing into the surface. Simply, I can't resist her.

He sighed as he looked down at the desk in front of him at Elena's journal and Eva's songbook.

Mystic Grill

Vicki is preparing to give the food to some customers when Jeremy comes behind her startling her for a moment. "Hi." Jeremy says with an easy grin but she rolled her eyes and walked past him.

"I'm working." She informs him in a harsh tone as she walked past him and took the food over to the table, Matt and Tyler were sat waiting.

"Thanks Vick." Matt smiles kindly at his sister as she placed their plates in front of them seeing that Tyler's glass was almost empty.

"Do you want me to refill?" Vicki asks Tyler and he grinned a wolfish grin up at her with a slight head nod.

"I'd love one." He answers and she gracefully took his glass and zipped back over to the bar getting him a refill obediently.

Tyler watch lustfully as Vicki walks across the room, her hips swaying seductively a grim look came across Matt's face as he thought back to poor Eva and how Tyler was still in love with her and how he was just using his sister.

"Please, tell me you aren't hooking up with my sister?" Matt groans trying to hide his disgust and anger.

"I'm not hooking up with your sister." Tyler rolls his dark brown eyes as he continued to watch Vicki from across the room licking his lips in the process.

"You are such a dick. I mean, I get it, Eva broke up with you and that hurt, but really? My sister? Now you're just gonna hook up with my sister?" Matt scoffed at his friend.

"Do you know if Eva is going to sing today?" Tyler asked changing the subject as he looked around the room eating a fry from his plate.

"I think so." Matt answered looking around for a moment. "She only has days off from work for parties and school events. You know that." He gave him a look which Tyler shrugs off. "Listen, dude, if you still love Eva you need to stop hooking up with Vicki. If you don't, Eva isn't going to want anything to do with you anymore."

Tyler remained in silence just looking down at the food in front of him. He knew Matt was right. Vicki went to the bar to refill Tyler's glass when Jeremy went to talk with her. He caught her arm giving her a look.

"Hey, what's your deal?" Jeremy asks as she pulls from his grip but he continued to follow her. "I mean, summer you act one way and then school starts and you can't be bothered."

"Jeremy, I really appreciate all the pharmaceuticals, but you keep following me around like a lost puppy." Vicki states in a stern tone which made Jeremy chuckle to himself.

"When was the last time you had sex with a puppy?" Jeremy taunts as he crossed his arms over his chest as a distort look covers Vicki's face.

"Keep it down." She orders as she looks around to see if anyone had heard. "I don't want the whole world knowing that I deflowered Eva and Elena's kid brother."

"Yeah, and deflowered and deflowered-"

"We hooked up a few times in a drug haze." Vicki admits and a triumphant look appears on his young face. "It's over." She adds and the look washes away as quickly as it came. "You have to back off before you ruin the things between me and Tyler."

"Come on, the guy is a complete douche. And it's only using you until Eva gets back with him again." Jeremy told her the truth with that Vicki pushes away from Jeremy and walks away in a huff telling herself it wasn't true that Tyler liked her because he just did.

Just across the bar Caroline and Bonnie were taking their seats the blonde is gossiping about the new student. "His name is Stefan Salvatore. He lives with his Uncle in the old Salvatore boarding house. He hasn't live here since he was a kid. Military family, so he was always moving. He is Gemini's and his favorite color is blue." She fluttered her silvery orbs as she spoke about the new boy.

"You got all that in one day?" Bonnie questions in disbelief as Caroline scoffed a little tilting her head to one side.

"Please, I got all that between 3rd and 4th period. We're planning a June wedding." She smiles proudly as Bonnie shook her head in amazement.

Gilbert House

Elena was preparing to leave for the Grill when she sees her Aunt Jenna wandering into the living room. "I'm gonna meet Bonnie at the Grill and we are watching Eva singing."

"Have fun." Jenna calls but remembers something as she turns to her niece slowly with a coy smile on her lips. "Wait, I got this. Don't stay too late, it's school night. Say that to your sister, too."

"Okay, I will tell her." Elena giggles as she shakes her head at her Aunt who was trying too hard to be a good guardian. "Well done, Aunt Jenna."

Elena shakes her head and opens her front door she was startled when she saw Stefan at her porch waiting for her. "Wow." She stated shock to see him.

"Sorry, I was about to knock." He informs her as she looks up at him questionably. "I wanted apologize for my disappearing this afternoon. I know that it was strange." He adds.

"No worries. I get it, blood makes you nervous." Elena assumes as she twirls a lock of her hair around her finger with a small smile playing on her lips.

"Something like that. How is your leg?" He asks concerned for her and she shrugged her shoulders.

"It's fine. It was just a scratch. How do you know where I live?" She questions looking up into his dazzling forest green eyes.

"It's a small town. I asked the first person I saw." Stefan smiles a little jokingly he reached into his leather jacket pocket and pulled out Elena's green journal and Eva's song book. "I thought you may want this back and your sister, too." Stefan hands them over to her.

"I must have dropped it." Elena blanks as she reaches over and takes them gratefully. "Thank you. Eva too, she can't survive without her songbook."

"Don't worry. I didn't read it." He assures her holding up his hands innocently as Elena gave him a look smirking a little.

"No? Why not? Most people would read it." She raises her eye brows

"I wouldn't like people to read mine."

Her eyes lit up as she looked at him with surprise before asking. "You keep a journal, too?"

"Yeah, if I didn't write I would forget. Memories are too important." He answers and she smiles, it sounded like something she would say.

"Yeah, they are. I'm just gonna…" She glances behind her before looking back at the handsome young man standing in the doorway. "You don't stay out there." She smiles as she walked back into the house

Stefan tries to get in but is blocked by an invisible barricade, he shrugged his shoulders before calling. "I'm fine right here." Elena returns with her bag and sees Stefan still standing there. "Sorry, were you going somewhere?"

"Yeah, I meeting a friend and of course I'm gonna see my sister sing at the Grill. Do you wanna come?" She offers and they both look at each other before smiling.

Mystic Grill

Matt, Bonnie and Eva

Bonnie, Matt and Eva, whose was on a break from the singing having a drink of water for her voice, they were all on one table talking about their vacations and the subject went to Elena.

"How is Elena doing?" Matt asks coyly looking up at Bonnie who frowns at the subject change.

"Her parents died. How do you think?" Bonnie says and then remembers Eva was with them and shyly glances over to Elena's twin who was looking down at the table sadly. "Sorry, Eva."

"It's ok, Bon." She smiles a little before standing up from her chair. "I'm going prepare for the second part. See you guys." With that she took off and both Matt and Bonnie watched as she walked away.

"They both put a brave face but it was only four months ago." Bonnie frowned again taking a sip of her drink.

"She said anything about me?" Matt asked coyly as he sat Tyler crossing the room hearing their conversation.

"Or Eva said anything about me?" Tyler asked joining the table looking towards the brunette who just shook her head a little.

"No, and Eva doesn't talk about you, Tyler." Bonnie narrows her light brown eyes at the jock. "You cheated on her, you hurt her and she moved on." She adds in an icy tone. "Forget about her and move on, but I think you already did that with Vicki." Bonnie says and then turns to Matt. "I'm not gonna interfere with you two. Pick up the phone and call her. The same goes for you Tyler."

"Thanks Bonnie." Tyler's tone was laced with sarcasm. "I'm gonna to the bar." Tyler leaves as he approaches the bar with a solemn look on his face.

"I feel weird to call her. She broke up with me."

"Give it more time, Matt." Bonnie assures him in a light tone just as Elena walks in with Stefan by her side, both of them smiling and talking.

Caroline was speaking with Tyler as they walked in, her silvery eyes narrowed at the sight of them together, jealousy searing through her body. Eva was on the stage preparing to start singing sees her twin sister with the new student a wild grin spreading across her face.

"More time, huh?" Matt asks in a sad tone before he gets and approaches Elena, who had a nervous look on her face.

"Hi. I'm Matt. Nice to meet you." He introduces himself kindly holding his hand out for the new kid to shake.

"Hi. I'm Stefan." Stefan answers respectfully before looking to see the awkward tension between the blond boy and the brunette standing next to him.

"Hey." Elena says awkwardly running her hands through her deep brown hair gulping a little as Matt rubbed the back of his neck looking down at the girl in front of him.

"Hey." Matt answers in a small voice before heading over to see his friend who was now at the bar without Caroline who had taken a seat with Bonnie waiting for Eva to start singing.

Eva signs to her sister that she's gonna sing two more songs and then she is done for the night. They go sit at one table and start listening Eva sing. She starts with the song "Burnin' Bridges" and the second and last is "I Look So Good (Without U)" which Tyler understood that it was for him.

After that Eva went to sit down on her sister's table. They were asking Stefan things about him and his personal life. "So, were you born here in Mystic Falls?" Caroline asks fluttering her long eye lashes at him.

"Yes, and then moved when I was young." He answers them all and they glances at each other smiling.

"Parents?" Bonnie asks tilting her head to the side as Stefan glances over at with a sad expression on his face.

"My parents passed away." Stefan had a deeply mournful look on his face as they all frown a long with him.

"I'm sorry." Elena says reaching over and patting his hand respectfully and he gave her a tiny smile which assured her he was alright.

"We know how you feel, Stefan. Elena and I lost our parents recently." Eva explains with a kind nod.

"Do you have siblings?" Elena asks trying to change the subject away from passing parents and depression subjects.

"None that I talk to." Stefan answers with a small shrug avoiding looking at them all for a moment before looking back. "I live with my uncle." He adds and they all nod taking in the information.

Caroline was watching Elena and Stefan look at each other and could feel a wave of jealousy washing over her as she grits her teeth. Eva catches this from across the table and sees what is happen she throws Bonnie a look.

"So, Stefan, if you are new, you don't know about the party tomorrow." Caroline interjects from beside him with a kind grin which he looks over at her with a puzzled look.

"It's a back to school thing." Bonnie explains and he nods a little looking over at Elena who was looking at him interested in what he was going to say.

"Are you going?" Stefan asks to Elena who ran her fingers nervously through her dark brown tresses gnawing on her bottom lip about to answer when her olive tone skinned friend spoke up.

"Of course she is going." Bonnie says with a wide grin, Caroline looked over at her a flicker of annoyance in her icy eyes.

"Her sister was going to force her to go, but now, I don't need to do that, right 'Lena?" Eva asks followed by a cheeky wink which Elena smiles at making both Bonnie and Eva smile madly.

Salvatore Boarding House

Stefan was getting dressed for school the next morning pulling on his dark leather jacket when he heard someone enter his room, turning his saw his 'Uncle' handing him a newspaper with an angry yet upset look on his face.

"You promised." Zach growls as he looks at the newspaper then up into Stefan's brooding eyes as he reads the headline which boldly stated Bodies found mutilated by animal

"This was an animal attack." Stefan shakes his head unable to explain why Zach was so upset and angry by all of this, he certainly hadn't done it.

"Don't give me that." Zach scoffs as he rolls his eyes. "I know the game. You tear them up enough, they always suspect an animal attack. You said you had it under control." He adds in a deeply disappointed tone.

"And I do." Stefan turns his back to him as he begins to gather all his schools supplies together tucking them away into his bag.

"Please, Uncle Stefan. Mystic Falls is different now. It's been quiet for years but there are still people who remember. And you being here, it's going stir things up." Zach pleads with him as Stefan shook his head from side to side looking in the mirror at himself.

"It's not my intention-"

"Than what is? Why did you come back? After all this time, why now?" Zach demands in a sure voice, Stefan turns back to him so slowly that it made the humans skin crawl with fear.

"I don't have to explain myself." Stefan's voice was low as he answers him his usual calm forest green eyes were now narrowing and hard.

"I know you can't change who you are." Zach's voice was uneasy as he looks up at his Uncle. "But you don't belong here anymore." He adds with a frown as Stefan's hard face turns into a frown too.

"Where do I belong?" Stefan's voice was defeated as he looked at the human in front of him who walked towards the door shaking his head.

"I can't tell you what to do. But coming back it was a mistake."

Stefan watches as Zach leaves the room closing the door after him, he walks over to his old dark wooden closet and opened the door to reveal many journals that Stefan had written over the years.

He picks up one journal and inspected it for a moment before opening the tattered leather bound cover and pulling out a wonderful old picture of two incredibly beautiful women posing and smiling. Katherine and Danielle, 1864. Was written in the corner of the picture before he closes his eyes trying to shut them both out then looks again to the picture. He began to think why he still has that picture? They didn't deserve being remembered after everything they did. They destroyed is life and his brother life.

Mystic Falls High School

History class

Mr. Tanner was stood at the front of the class explaining the Battle of Willow Creek that happened in 1865. "The Battle of Willow Creek was ended in here, in our Mystic Falls. How many causalities resulted on this battle?" The teacher looks around the class full of tired, bored students. "Miss Bennett?"

"Hmm… A lot?" Her light brown eyes were wide with her answer "I'm not sure. Like a whole lot." She adds.

"Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Miss Bennett." Mr. Tanner scolds as Bonnie looked back down at her notepad. "Mr. Donavan? Do you would like this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?"

"It's okay Mr. Tanner. I'm okay with that." Matt jokes and the whole class laughs along with him earning an angered look from the teacher who started looking around the room again for his next victim to humiliate.

"Miss. Gilbert?" Both Eva and Elena raised their heads to look at Mr. Tanner. "Uh, Elena, surely you can enlighten us about one of the most significant historical events?"

"I'm sorry. I don't know." Elena stutters as she ran her hands through her hair once again biting on her bottom lip puzzled.

"I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But the personal excuses ended with summer break. That goes for you too, Eva" He adds in a sour voice Elena and Eva looked at each other and bowed their heads.

Stefan glanced over at the girls seeing the looks on their faces before saying. "There were 346 casualties. Unless you're counting local citizens."

"That's correct. Mr…?"

"Salvatore."

"Salvatore, have any relations with the original settlers in Mystic Falls?" Mr. Tanner questions as Stefan shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly.

"Distance." He answers his teacher who nodded his head who became to pace at the front of the class as he continued the lesson.

"Very well, then." Mr. Tanner notes. "Except, of course, there were no civilian casualties in this battle." He corrected him in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Actually, there were 27 civilian casualties, sir." Stefan corrects his own teacher in a very sure tone. "Confederate soldiers, they fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons They were wrong. It was a night of great loss. The founder's archives are, uh, stored in civil hall if you want brush up on your facts, Mr. Tanner."

Everyone on class was left with their mouths agape. Stefan Salvatore made their teacher speechless.

Mystic Falls

It is already night the moon shone brightly over the the 'back to school' party was already in full swing. Loud pop music blasting over the buzzing crowd that were dancing, talking, making-out and even some people were placed around the bonfire roasting marshmallows and drinking.

Stefan arrived at the party looking dapper as began searching the large crowd for Elena. He concentrates for a moment listening conversations trying to find Elena. Until he hears her talking with Eva and Bonnie.

"Just admit it, Elena." Bonnie pressed as she stood in front of her best friend with her arms crossed over her chest.

Elena rolls her eyes as she looks at the ground for a minute and then back up to her best friend and her sister. "Okay. He is a little pretty."

"He has that romance novel stare." Bonnie gushes as she links her fingers together fluttering her eyes lashes, Elena and Eva both laugh before the musician spoke up.

"I agree with Bonnie." Eva nods her head and Elena gives her twin a look hoping she would back off, but she was going to do no such thing.

"Stefan looked into her eyes, piercing into her soul." Bonnie quotes one of her favorite romance novels and they all began laughing pushing each other around.

Stefan smiles to himself after hearing their conversation made his way towards Elena and her friends only to be intercepted by the preppy blonde cheerleader on his way over to her. "You made it!" Caroline says her silvery orbs bright and glowing in the light of the flickering bonfire.

"I did." He nods his head confirming the fact that he had made it to the party he had agreed to meet Elena at.

"Let's get you a drink."

"Well, I'm-" He tried to walk past her but the blonde steps in front of him grabbing his arm with a grin plastered on her face.

"Come on!" She hauled him towards the drinks table hoping if she got some drink in him she might be able to steer him away from Elena, the jealousy was written deep in her silvery eyes.

Elena, Eva and Bonnie were next stood next to the roaring bonfire still wondering where Stefan was or if he was even coming. "So, where is he?" Elena asks trying not to get her hopes up in case he didn't show.

"I don't know." Bonnie answers as she looks around biting her bottom lip cautiously not seeing any sight of Stefan anywhere.

"You tell me, you are the physic." Elena taunts and Bonnie laughs in remembrance nodding her head.

"Right, I forgot. Give a second. Grams, tells me I have to concentrate." She jokes as Elena laughs harder at her friends taking this seriously

"Wait! You need something." Eva remembers as she looks around her searching for something, she grabbed a beer bottle from the floor. "Crystal ball." She joked as she held out the bottle.

Bonnie takes the bottle and suddenly her smiles fades as it felt like electricity zapped through her body. She was in trance for a couple of moments before she opens her eyes and she was nervous.

"What?" Elena asks giving her a cautious look seeing the fearful look on her best friends face as she dropped the bottle to the ground staring directly at Eva.

"It was weird. When I touched Eva, I saw a crow." Bonnie whispers as both Elena and Eva looked at each other, they were remembering yesterday afternoon on the cemetery. They both saw a crow.

"What?" Elena asks her jaw dropping open as Bonnie continues to think about what she had seen.

"A crow. There was a fog. A man." Bonnie listed everything she had seen from touching Eva and both twins grew more and more nervous as she continued, the girl stopped herself from talking seeing the looks on their faces. "I'm drunk. It is the drink. There is nothing physic about it." Eva and Elena were still looking at her in shock. "Yeah? I gonna get another one."

Elena and Eva stay looking at Bonnie leaving walking swiftly across the party. They look at each other nervously for a moment. "Okay. Bonnie!" When Elena turns again to talk with Eva, she sees Stefan behind them.

"Hi." Stefan says with a kind smile, a small gnaw of concern in his stomach as he saw the looks on both girls faces.

"Hi." Elena says.

"Hi, Stefan. Nice to see you again." Eva says and then turns to Elena trying to keep the fearful look form taking over her features. "Elena, dearest, I gonna find Bonnie and then get drunk okay? See you around Stefan."

"You too, Eva."

"Only my sister. Eva was a big party girl before breaking up with Tyler and our parents death." Elena laughs her face turning cold at the thought of Tyler how much he had hurt her twin.

"What happened?" Stefan questions tucking his hands into his dark wash jean pocket with a curious look on his face.

Elena sighs a little bit shrugging her shoulders. "Tyler cheated on her with Vicki Donavan and now..."

"Now he wants her back?" Stefan assumes and nods her head in confirmation, it was written all over Tyler's face that he wanted her back.

"Yeah, but she wants be alone for a while and he doesn't deserve her after what he did." Elena adds with a frown putting her head down.

"She deserves to be happy and you do too." Stefan smiles down at her, Elena could feel the heat raising in her cheeks as she smiles to herself looking back up into his amazing forest green orbs.

"Yeah. Thanks." Elena tucks a lock of her hair behind her ear as she thought back to what Bonnie had said, she didn't realize her smile had fallen and Stefan had caught wind of her mood change.

"You are upset about something." He guesses and she looks at him startled that he had noticed shaking her head from side to side he looks at her questionably.

"No, it's Bonnie. She's… You know what? Never mind. You're here." There was clear surprise in Elena's voice as Stefan through her a charming smile.

"I'm here."

Eva and Jeremy

Eva was walking around the party holding her drink that she had barely touched when she saw Vicki and Tyler. They were holding hands as he lead her deep into the forest surrounding them all to another place to make out.

"Hey, Jer." Eva smiles as she wanders over to her little brother who stood watching as Tyler lead his crush away both of them connected as the lips and touching heavily.

"Hey. Why Vicki is so blind?" Jeremy sighs a little and Eva shrugs her shoulders, she couldn't understand why Tyler even wanted to be with Vicki, she wasn't his type.

"I don't know but Tyler still thinks that I want something with him, he is sadly mistaken." Eva stated convincing herself that she didn't want anything more to do with that jerk. "I want to be alone for a while until I find the one is destined to be with, you know what I mean?"

"Of course I do, Eva." Jeremy smiles down at his big sister seeing the look on her face it was distant and dreamy before she broke away and patted him on the arm assuring.

"You know, I'm always here for you." Eva smiles at him looking after him like a big sister should and he nods his head.

"I know."

"I'm gonna find Bonnie." She informs him as she takes a quick swig of her beer. "See you later, Jer and be careful with the drugs, okay?" She tries to act cool with that fact Jeremy was doing drugs but secretly she didn't like it, she was scared for him.

"Okay, Eva."

Bonnie and Eva

"Hey." Eva says when she finally finds Bonnie who had been hiding trying to get her head straight after seeing what she saw when she had connected to Eva.

"Sorry to disappear like that but I…" Bonnie tries explain but she was at a loss for words, Eva just shakes her head not needing an explanation, she had enough of talking about their weird situation. "How are you felling?"

"I'm fine. Can I tell you something?" Eva asks as she lowers her voice, Bonnie nods looking over at her friend curiously but with an inviting smile that assured the Gilbert twin.

"You know that you can tell me anything."

"I feel that my soul mate or whatever is coming to me. The person that I will love for an eternity is coming for me. I sound crazy but it's what I feel." Eva admitted feeling a little embarrassed that she had said it aloud, she had been feeling that way for a while now and she half expected for Bonnie to burst out laughing.

"It's not crazy. It's maybe your six senses." Bonnie suggests, if she was going to have crazy visions and so on then maybe her friends were going to have these things too.

"I know." Eva nods creasing her eye brows. "It's like he is calling me, that his love is going to consume me and I'm gonna have passion, and nothing is going to be like when I was with Tyler. I'm gonna have adventures with him and a little danger, but is what I crave. Am I crazy, Bonnie, to feel like that?"

"No, Eva. It's a signal that you are going to be so happy." Bonnie gushes reaching out to hold her hands a little more hesitantly this time, no shocking feeling came through her.

"Thanks Bonnie. You are a great friend."

"You too. Let's go get drunk."

"Yah. Let's go."

And the two friends go get drunk.

Elena and Stefan

Both Elena and Stefan were walking aimlessly around the party talking about anything they could think about. "You know, you're kind of the talk of the town." Elena informs Stefan.

"Am I?"

"Yeah, mysterious new guy." She looks over at him with humor in her eyes as Stefan chuckles to himself shaking his head before glancing down at the beautiful brunette next to me.

"Well, you have that mysterious thing going on, too. Twinged in sadness." Stefan frowns and Elena looks up at him curiously.

"What makes you think that I'm sad?"

"Well, we did meet at the graveyard." He shrugs his shoulders and she nods a little remembering. "I think your sister it's a little sad too."

"Right, well, no, technically we met in the men's room." Elena states in a matter-of-fact tone. "You don't wanna know. It's not exactly party chit-chat." She shakes her head from side to side.

"Well, I've never really been very good at, uh, chit chat." Stefan chuckles as the wander towards the falls and the bridge that lead over the river stopping in the middle as Elena lets out a small sigh.

"Last spring... my parents' car drove off a bridge into the lake." Elena starts as she glances down into the water that was sparkling in the moon light. "And I was on the backseat and survived but they didn't. Eva, that night broke up with Tyler and went home walking while I stayed, waiting for them to come to pick me up. So, that's my story."

"You won't be sad forever, Elena." Stefan assures her in a sure tone and she smiles looking up at him appreciating his kind words.

Vicki and Tyler

Deep in the forest Tyler had Vicki pinned against a tree attacking her neck with butterfly kisses as she squirmed against him shaking her head trying to get out of his strong, jock grip. "No, Ty. I'm not having sex with you against a tree."

"Come on, it would be hot." He tried to convince her but she scoffed looking at him with her dark eyes.

"For who? No, it's not gonna happen." Vicki says but Tyler continued to kiss and nip at her soft skin. "It's not gonna happen. Not like this. No. I said no!" Vicki repeats struggling harder against his iron grip.

Jeremy quickly hopped out of the brush beside them jumping to protect Vicki from Tyler. "Leave her alone!" He orders in a low voice as the jock took a step away from the distort dirty brown haired girl

"You know, you are starting to get on my nerves, Gilbert!" Tyler hisses squaring up to the younger boy a grim look on his perfectly tanned face.

"Just go, Tyler!" Vicki demands as she dries the tears away from her puffy eyes. "Get the hell away from me!"

"Wow, Vicki Donavan says no! That's a first!" Tyler insults in a harsh tone before taking off back towards the party to search for Eva shaking his head feeling he anger that was bubbling inside of him.

Jeremy takes a careful step towards the girl that was trying to sort herself out running her hands through her mixed colored hair taking deep breaths before looking at the younger boy. "I didn't need your help."

"It seemed like you did." Jeremy answers in a sure tone which she just brushed off shaking her head.

"He was just drunk." She tries to make excuses for the jocks awful behavior towards a woman and rough attitude.

"I'm drunk. And I'm throwing myself at you?"

"No, you're worse." Vicki spat venomously narrowing her eyes. "You want to talk to me, get to know me, get in into my soul, and screw, screw and screw, until you are done with me."

"It's that what you think?" Jeremy was actually hurt that she thought that was all he wanted from her.

"It's that I know." Vicki leaves abruptly heading to the middle of the forest alone wrapping her arms around herself to keep the cold from getting to her.

Elena and Stefan

Stefan smiles at her and says. "I liked Bonnie, she looked a good friend." He could see her talking with Matt and Eva across the party laughing and having a good time.

"Best friend in the world, but nothing can compete with my sister." Elena smiles as she looks across at her twin. "Eva and I, we are sisters and best friends. She knows more about me than Bonnie. And I know more about Eva than Bonnie." She informs him with a love filled smile.

"And Matt, he can't seem to take his eyes off us." Stefan states awkwardly as he runs his hands through his light brown hair seeing that Tyler was now approaching the group of three looking directly at Eva talking.

"Matt's that friend since childhood that you start dating because you owe it to yourselves to see if you can be more." Elena's voice was sad as she spoke about the handsome blonde boy.

"And?"

"And then my parents died, and everything changed. Anyway Matt and I together, we just, I don't know, we didn't have... It wasn't..." She was at a loss for words from to describing what had killed her and Matt's relationship.

"Passionate." Stefan suggests and she looks over at him to see the patient look in his eyes as he waited for her to answer.

"No, no, it wasn't passionate." Elena smiles a little when suddenly Stefan could feel veins approaching under his eyes once again, he gulped as he looked down avoiding eye contact.

"Hey, are you ok? Your eye, it's just, it's-"

Stefan quickly began to rub his eyes trying to get her to lose focus on his own personal problems. "Yeah, I know. It's nothing. Are you thirsty? I'm gonna get us a drink." With that he swiftly walks away with Elena's cup leaving her perplexed with his attitude.

Eva and Tyler

Tyler had made Eva leave him with unwillingly so they could speak in private he continued to make her walk in the direction she didn't want to do when he stopped looking around to see no one. "What the hell, Tyler? What's wrong with you?" She demands.

"What wrongs with me? What's wrong with you?" Tyler hisses making a face and she shakes her head as she looks around, it wasn't going to be so easy to shake the jock.

"What do you want?" Eva's voice was defeated, she knew she wasn't going to be able to ignore him forever, might as well have it out now.

"I want you back!"

"Well, you can't have me." She states in a sure voice, after what he did she wasn't going to let him back into her life and ruin it again. She had so much pain in her life already without adding boyfriend drama.

"Why? I love you!" He tells her quickly and she flinches at the words, it hurt so much to hear them after what he had done to her.

"Tyler, you cheated on me with Vicki Donovan. I mean, that girl will have anything with a pulse! Now, you're actually dating her? And now, after all this you want me back?! You're a real piece of work." He opened his mouth to speak but she held up her hand ceasing him from talking. "I'm done with your excuses, Tyler!"

"I really want you back."

"I gave you everything." She spat as tears blurred her vision looking up at the tanned jock who was watching her broken. "You were my first everything and then you cheat on me? If you really loved me, you would never have cheated on me in the first place."

"I'm sorry. But I want to try again." He begs but she was having none of it as she dries away the tears from her eyes sniffling as she looked up into his rich brown orbs.

"No, I can see the real you now, Tyler. You're angry and frustrated and that scares me, not to mention the fact that you always threaten my little brother. We're done. Finished." She tells him in a strong voice a stoney look on her face.

"Please, Eva. Give a chance to us again. I love you-"

"But I don't love you, Ty." Her strong voice became broken as she looked up into his hurts eyes. "If you want to be my friend, then fine, I might be able to accept that, but we're not getting back together. You're gonna have to choose." With that, Eva leaves and goes to join Bonnie and the rest of her friends hiding her hurt feelings with a fake smile.

Middle of Forest

Vicki

Vicki was walking through the thick forest alone when she hears a noise behind her glancing around her she gulps before calling out. "Jeremy? Is that you?" There was a side of hopefulness to her voice as a thick fog descended around her.

"Jeremy?" She calls again but there was no response, feeling like someone was staring at her she turns abruptly before she was caught in an iron grip and attacked.

Matt and Elena

Elena was pushing her way through the crowd trying to find either Stefan or her sister, she needed some advice and just needed to speak with Eva to see how she was, but she was intercepted by Matt who gave her a warm smile before saying. "Are you looking for someone?"

"Hey." Elena smiles as she continued to glance around looking for Stefan, he was just out of eye sight and able to hear Matt and Elena talking.

"When you broke up with me, you said it was because you needed some time to be alone. But you don't look so lonely to me." The blonde boy looked down at her suspiciously to see the guilty look pull over her features.

"Matt, you don't understand. It just-"

"It's cool, Elena. Do what you have to do. I just wanna let you know I still believe in us and I'm not gonna give up on that." His voice was filled with confidence that they were going to get back together and be happy, but she frowns.

"Matt..." She calls but the blonde leaves and Elena doesn't know what to say.

Eva saw and heard everything that had gone on in the conversation and wanders over with her hands in her pockets looking at her twin with an upset smile. Elena needed her support. She could feel that.

"Hey, are you ok? I heard what he said..."

"Yeah, no, I'm fine." Elena mutters shaking her head as she bit on her bottom lip. "I just... I don't want to hurt him anymore than I already had; I just see nothing between us anymore." She could see the hurt look on Eva's face and knew it wasn't from her own personal problems. "What's wrong?"

"Tyler." Eva murmurs defeated. "He wants me back but I don't want him back. I want be alone for a while until I find the right one. I feel like that my soul mate is out there waiting for me. I am crazy, right?" She lifts her eyes to see the sappy look on her sister's face.

"No, you're not." Elena coos as she wraps her arms around her sister's neck pulling her into a tight, family hug. "You believe that you can find your real love you need and it's not with Tyler. I will support until the end. Like you always do for me." She confirms with a giant smile.

"I love you, 'Lena. Only you understand me."

"I love you, Eva. Only you understand me. Twins forever!"

"Twins forever!" Elena confirms as they hug once more laughing and joking around.

Stefan saw the exchange between the sisters and smiled to himself. It made him remember those women back in 1864, Katherine and Danielle. When he decided to go talk with them is when suddenly Caroline intercepts him.

"Hey. There you are. Have you been at the falls? Because they are really cool at night. And I can show you. If you want." Caroline slurs as she looks up at him fluttering her long lashes seductively.

"I think you've had too much to drink." Stefan tries to brush past her but she just laughed loudly placing her hands on his firm chest smiling up at him, he could smell the alcohol rolling off her breath.

"Of course I have. So-"

"Caroline. You and me… it's not gonna happen. I'm sorry." Stefan tells her in a sincere voice before wandering over to Elena and Eva who had seen him talking awkwardly to the blonde.

"I was wondering who had kidnapped you, but now I know." Elena says glancing over at Caroline then back at Stefan to see the nervous look on his face as he chuckles.

"She is like that with every guy?"

Elena shakes her head. "No. You're fresh meat. She'll give up soon." She assures him with an amused smile.

"Sometimes she is worse." Eva spoke up from beside her twin. "She is always trying to compete with me and Elena, the famous Gilbert Twins, as we are known."

Elena's gaze had drifted to across the party to see her brother stumbling around drunk her jaw dropped open at the sight of him in that state. "You gotta be kidding me!" Eva follows her gaze to see Jeremy.

"What?" Stefan asks trying to follow their line of sight to see what had got Elena so worked up.

"My brother..."

"The drunk one?"

"That will be the one." There was a hint of disappointment amongst the anger of Elena's voice as she spoke about her younger brother.

"Do you need help?" Stefan questions concerned but Elena just shook her head in response as Eva places her hand on her twins wrist trying to stop her from going after him.

"'Lena, let it go. You two are going to fight again." Eva pleads her dark brown eyes wide as she looked up at her sister who had a grim look on her face.

"Trust me, Stefan. You don't wanna see this. Are you coming, Eva?" She looked beside her at her twin who shook her head answering her sister question, she hated seeing her family fight "Okay. It's your choice. Jeremy!" She calls.

Eva watches as her sister crosses the party leaving her alone with Stefan who glanced down at her for a moment before looking back up in a matter of seconds. "I hate seeing my brother like that, I mean, I'm sorry you have to see us like this, we're not usually this... crazy." Eva tries to explain.

"It's no problem, Eva."

"Elena is always hovering over him." Eva shakes her head. "I think when he is ready he will come to us. But I worry about them, both of them."

"I understand. I have a brother, too." Stefan tells her and she nods waiting for more information he wasn't going to give out. "I know how you feel."

"You are a nice guy. You are perfect for her." Eva compliment with a coy smile playing on her lips.

"Thanks Eva."

"You're welcome. But if you hurt her, I will kill you." Eva threatens a playful smile on her lips, but a level of seriousness to her voice, she was very protective over her twin sister and Stefan could tell that.

"I promise you that I will never hurt her." Stefan nods at Eva who smiles up at him in response.

"I'm counting on that." Eva crosses her arms carelessly over her chest thinking for a moment before Stefan spoke up again.

"But If I hurt her I let you kill me."

"I will hold you to that."

Stefan and Eva start talking too. He wanted to know Elena's twin sister. He felt that she was like a little sister to him. And sometimes Eva wished she had an older brother to look out for her.

Jeremy and Elena

"Jeremy! Jeremy! Where the hell you think you are going?" Elena demands as she catches up with her baby brother a grim look on her face, her eyes cold and hard.

"I don't wanna hear it-" Jeremy continues walking on in the forest when suddenly until stumbles on something. He looks around to see what he had tumbled on shocked and nauseous when he sees Vicki's bloody body lying on the floor. "Vicki! No! My God it's Vicki!"

"Oh my God!" Elena belted as she covers her mouth backing away from her completely still body tears welling up in her eyes.

"No!" Jeremy yells as he puts his fingers on her neck checking for a pulse when she suddenly takes in a big breath opening her eyes looking around fearfully, watching out for whatever had attacked her.

Jeremy gathered the thin girl in his arms and carried her carefully back towards the party with Elena in tow, she yells "Someone help!" Gaining everyone's attention the whole party gathered as Jeremy lay her on a table watching her fearfully.

"Vicki? Vicki, what the hell?" Matt screams as he burst through the crowd scared to see his sister in this state.

"What happened to her?" Tyler asks as he barges through the crowd to be standing next to Matt looking down at the dirty brown haired girl.

"Call an ambulance." Matt orders in a low voice as several people pull out their phones and call for help.

"Everyone back off. Give her space." Tyler pushes the people away trying to give the girl some space to breath as Eva fights her way to the front of the crowd locking eyes with him for a moment before reaching her sister.

"It's her neck. Something bit up. She is losing a lot of blood." Elena explains as everyone continued to worry about whatever bit her might have still been out there waiting.

"Come on, Vicki. Fight for your life!" Eva pleads as the girl looks around wearily feeling Matt applying pressure to her wound with his barehand.

"Put this on her neck." Matt gives Elena his over shirt for her to press to the open wound. "Vicki, come on. Open your eyes. Look at me." Matt pleads as he held his sister hand.

Stefan is watching the teenagers helping Vicki with a concerned look on his face. Matt looks around for a moment seeing Stefan standing away from the group. He looks down at his sister for a moment before look back up to see that the new boy was gone, no sign of him ever being there.

Salvatore Boarding House

Stefan burst into the Salvatore boarding house closing the heavy dark wooden door behind him seeing Zach was sitting at his desk doing some work as he saw the young man enter the house. "What's going on?" He sees the puzzled yet anxious look on his face.

"Someone else was attacked tonight. And it wasn't me Zach." With that he runs to his room leaving the human sitting there confused.

When Stefan walks into his room he stops dead as he feels a presence of someone watching him. Suddenly a black crow flies to his room through the open balcony window, circles once and then leaves sitting outside.

As the young boy turns around he sees a handsome mysterious man there dressed in all black with a matching leather jacket and a cocky smile on his face watching him with icy blue orbs. "Damon."

"Hello, brother." Damon purrs as the corner of his lip turns up into a knowing smirk as he cocked an eye brow.

"The crow is a bit much, don't you think?" Stefan growls as he watches his brother circle him like pray, stopping to look at all the things lying around his cluttered room.

"Wait and see what I can do with the fog." Damon teases as he continues to scan the room stopping to look at the grim look on his brother's face.

"When did you get here?"

"Well I couldn't miss your first day of school." Damon walks around the room to a shelf of books picking one up flicking through it. "Your hair's different. I like it." He smirked once more.

"It's been 15 years, Damon."

"Thank God. I couldn't take another day on the 90's, that horrible grunge look. Do not suited you." Damon says going to another shelf of books. "Remember Stefan, it's important to stay away from fads." He taunts looking over his shoulder at his younger brother.

"Why are you here?" Stefan demands in a low voice as his brother turns to him fully placing the book on the desk in front of him with a small shrug.

"I missed my little brother-"

"You hate small towns. It's boring. There's nothing for you to do." The green eyed boy scolds narrowing his eyes.

"I managed to keep myself busy." Damon's icy blue eyes flared with humor as Stefan grits his teeth trying to keep back any harsh words, trying to avoid a fight.

"You know, you left that girl alive tonight. That's was very clumsy of you..." Stefan refers back to Vicki, knowing that it was his brother that had truly attacked the poor girl and left her for die.

"That could be a problem... for you."

"Why are you here now?" Stefan demands one more time his eyes flashing with anger as he takes a step towards his older brother who smirked a little back at him.

"I could ask you the same question. However, I'm certain the answer stays with three little words, Elena and Eva, the twins."

Falls

The van of the animal control and police cars and an ambulance were there. The paramedics were putting Vicki inside the ambulance with Matt watching them with horror written all over his face. He enters on the ambulance and they go to the hospital. Elena and Eva were watching the ambulance and Matt.

"I'm worried about Matt." Eva says with stress over her face from everything that had happened that night.

"Me too and I'm worried about Jeremy too." Elena's voice was breathy as she glances across at her twin just as Bonnie approaches the girls with a sad smile.

"We are going to drink coffee and wait for news." Bonnie informs them both and they glances at each other before shaking their heads in response.

"We are going to take Jeremy home." Elena says.

"He is drunk and stoned." Eva explains and Bonnie shot them an apologetic look before debating in her head whether to say what she was thinking.

She paused for only a moment. "Girls, there is no way I'm physic. I know that. But, whatever I saw or think I saw, when I touched Eva, I have this feeling…"

"Bonnie, what is it?" Elena asks with a concerned look on her face as Eva watches her cautiously.

"That this is just the beginning..."

Stefan and Damon

"They took my breath away, Elena and Eva, especially my Eva." Damon says walking again. "Elena is the dead ringer for Katherine." A smirk pulled over his full lips.

"In case you forgotten; Eva is the dead ringer for Danielle..."

"Don't talk about Danielle!" Damon enraged and to provoke Stefan starts talking about Elena. "It is working, Stefan? Be around Elena, being in her world? She makes you feel alive? And being friends with Eva?" He taunts with a growl.

"They are not Katherine and Danielle-"

"Let's hope not. We both know how that ended. Tell something, when was the last time you ate something stronger than squirrel?"

"I know what you are trying to do, Damon. It's not going to work." Stefan tells his brother in a sure voice as he turns away from him abruptly trying to ignore his provoking.

"Yeah?" Damon pushes Stefan making the anger inside of the younger brother ignite wildly. "C'mon. Don't you crave a little?"

"Stop!"

"Let's do it! The two of us together. I saw a couple of girls out there. Or we just cut the chase and go straight to Elena and Eva."

"Stop it!" Stefan pushes Damon away the anger was not a burning hate as his brother spoke about the girls like they were slabs of meat for them to take.

"Imagine the taste of their blood!" Damon tempts his younger brother in a deep voice; Stefan looks at the mirror and the veins and is black eyes appear. That was his face has a vampire. "I can!" Damon says.

"I said to stop!"

Stefan runs for Damon with unrelenting force and they smash through window both hitting the ground with a loud thud. When Stefan opened his eyes he was on the floor alone and Damon was on the bench watching as his brother recovering. The younger brother stands up and brushes down his clothes looking for Damon.

"I was impressed." Damon calls and Stefan turns to look at him with death written in his eyes. "I give it a six. Missing style, but I was pleasantly surprised. Very good with the face." Damon makes some snarling noises. "It was good."

"It is always with funny games with you, Damon? But wherever you go, people die." Stefan shakes his head staring his brother down who continued to chuckle to himself walking towards his brother.

"That's given..."

"Not here. I won't allow it."

"I take that as invitation." Damon jokes a grin spreading across his lips as Stefan found himself resorting to pleading with his brother trying to get him to leave Mystic Falls, he only brought trouble with him.

"Damon, please. After all these years can we just give a rest?"

"I promised you an eternity of misery so I'm just keeping my word." Damon shrugs his shoulders an innocent look on his face as Stefan sighs a little knowing that he wasn't going to be able to get his brother to leave anytime soon.

"Just stay away from Elena and Eva." Stefan warns as Damon scanned his eyes over his brother body stopping at his hand raising his eye brows in surprise.

"Where is your ring?" Stefan touches his finger where his clunky blue stoned ring would sit, panic washed over him as he began to look around the floor desperately trying to find it. "Right, the sun is coming up in a couple of hours and, poof, ashes to ashes." Damon smiles sarcastically. "Relax. It's right here." And Damon gives him the ring.

Stefan takes the ring from Damon and puts it on is finger gratefully when suddenly Damon's face changes to its demonic state. Grabs Stefan's neck and throws him across the yard at the garage door with brute force. Damon using his vampire speed looks down to his brother with an intense look.

"You should know you aren't stronger than me. You lost that fight when you stopped feeding on people. I wouldn't try again." Damon threatens in a hiss as he hears the door open behind them. "I think we woke up, Zach." Damon advances towards the Salvatore boarding house. "Sorry, Zach."

Falls

Most of the teenagers had already left after the incident with Vicki. Only the Gilbert siblings were there. Jeremy is drinking a beer with Eva by his side trying to talk him into making him stop drinking. Elena comes to them with her arms over her chest a frown on her face.

"You okay?" Elena asks her sister who stood up and opened her arms invitingly, both sisters hugged lovingly. "I called Jenna. She is on her way." She informs them as she pulls away. "Those people in uniforms are the police." Elena says in a matter-of-fact tone at her brother.

Jeremy rolls his eyes and finishes off his drink before he throws the bottle on the ground giving her a look that said 'are you happy now?'.

"People are going to stop giving you breaks Jer. They don't care anymore. They don't remember our parents are dead because they have their lives to worry about. The rest of the world moved on. You should try too."

"I have seeing you in the cemetery writing on your journal. Eva, I saw you too, writing your songs. That supposed be you, girls moving on?" Elena and Eva both shook their heads. "Mom and dad wouldn't want this for us."

"That's why we need stay together, united. We are the last Gilbert's." Eva says with a pleading tone to her voice looking between her siblings.

Mystic Grill

Bonnie and Caroline

Caroline had a terrible hangover after she had drank so much at the party and Bonnie was waiting for her to be a little more sober to take her home. "Are you sober yet?" Bonnie asked in a concerned yet bored tone.

"No." Caroline says shaking her head from side to side rubbing her temples trying to stop the thudding sound that was echoing around her head.

"Keep drinking." She refers to the warm coffee sat in front of the blonde. "I need to take you home. I need to take me home." She adds.

"Why didn't he go for me? How come all the guys I want, never want me?" Caroline pouts as she looks up at Bonnie who had a solemn look on her face shaking her head not wanting to answer.

"I'm not touching that."

"I'm inappropriate. Always say the wrong thing. Elena and Eva, they always say the right thing. They don't even try. Tyler chooses Eva, instead of me. Now, Stefan picks Elena. They are always chosen for everything. And I try so hard and I'm never the one." She rants sipping her coffee tentatively.

"It's not a competition, Caroline." Bonnie tries to sooth her friend but the blonde shot her a look.

"Yeah, it is."

Hospital

Matt and Vicki

Matt is watching over Vicki that is still sleeping on the bed. After a few minutes, Vicki wakes up her eyes fluttering as she adjusted to the bright lights of the hospital room.

"Vicki… Hi. It's alright. You are gonna be okay." Matt assures her as he moves forward in his

"Matt…" Her voice was weak and raspy as she tried to sit up but he made her lay back down not wanting her to push it, she had been through a lot.

"Shh… Don't try to talk. You're fine." Matt smiles at her as she leans her head back down on the pillow before looking over to him from the bed with a tired look on her face.

"Vampire."

Gilbert House

Eva's room

Eva walks from the bathroom after a quick shower trying to warm herself up before getting into bed wearing a pair PJ's. A white tank top and some shorts. Picking up her song book from the side as she began to write new song.

Some ideas popped into her head after her fight with Tyler. She still felt that her soul mate, the man who as going consume her with his love and passion, was coming to her. He was going to be adventurous and a little dangerous, but she was going to see a different man that was only going appear to her. Their journey was going to be difficult but they would win in the end. Her sister and family won't like in the beginning but they would grow to accept.

After that song, she starts writing another one about that feeling she was having. Her sister was going to suffer too but she was going be beyond happy just like her.

Elena's room

Dear Diary,

I couldn't be more wrong. I thought that I could smile and move on with my life, pretending everything was going to be okay.

Boarding House

Stefan's room

Stefan had the same picture where were both Danielle and Katherine, in 1864. He knew that Eva and Elena weren't them and complete different.

I had a plan. I wanted to change who I was. Create a new life, someone new… someone without a past.

Gilbert house

Living room

Jenna finds her nephew sitting on the sofa looking so lost looking at a picture of his parents.

Elena

Without pain… someone alive… But it's not that easy. The bad things stay with you.

Mystic Grill

Bonnie picks up the bill and goes to pay. Caroline looks to another table and sees Damon. He smiles seductively at her and she smiled back timidly. She was going to be his new toy.

Stefan

We can't escape from them, as much as you want to.

Elena

All you can do is prepare ourselves for the good. So when it comes, you invite it in because you need it. I need it.

Elena looks at the street from the window and sees Stefan standing there with his hands in his pockets looking up at her. She gets up and goes open the front door smiling at him. "I know it's late but I needed to know that you were okay." His voice was small as he looks into her dark brown eyes.

"For months, that's all anyone's wondered about me. If I would be okay." Elena mutters as she let out a small sigh.

"What do you tell them?"

"That I will be fine."

"Do you mean it?"

"Ask me tomorrow." Elena answered and invites Stefan to get in the house. "It's more warm in the house. We can talk inside. Would you like to come in?" She looks at him questionably and he nods with a gracious smile.

"Yes..."
