Chapter 1
"What is it?" Stefan asked curiously his brow furrowing. "My brother," Elena groaned as Jeremy walked past her. "The drunk one?" "That would be the one. Excuse me," "Need some help?" "Trust me, you're not going to want to witness this. Jeremy! Jeremy!" She called as she followed him into the woods. "Jeremy, where the hell are you going?" She asked as she managed to catch up to her brother. "I don't want to hear it!" Jeremy snapped. "Yeah, well, too bad!" Jeremy tripped on something, when he was about to pull himself up he noticed that it wasn't a root, as he had first thought, but it was the body of Vicki. "Vicki? No! Oh my god, it's Vicki!" Elena moved a little closer and saw Vicki on the ground unconscious deep wounds to her neck, "Oh, my god!" "No!"
Stefan walked into the Salvatore Boarding House and ran his fingers through his hair. "What's going on?" Zach questioned as Stefan walked past. "Someone else was attacked tonight, Zach, and it wasn't me." Stefan answered as he walked up the stairs. Stefan walked upstairs and stood by his desk. A crow cawed as it flew into his bedroom and perched on a wooden beam. Stefan looked back at the window to see two figures stood there. "Damon, Ebony," "Hello, brother," Damon answered a taunting smirk on his face. Ebony grinned in acknowledgement. Her perfect olive toned complexion matching perfectly with her ebony black hair, her wide blue eyes just a little darker than Damon's. Her and Damon looked alike, to say the very least. "Crow's a bit much, don't you think?" Stefan questioned. Ebony shrugged. "Wait till you see what I can do with the fog," Damon replied. "When'd you two get here?" Stefan asked. "Well, we couldn't miss your first day at school," "Your hair's different. I like it," Ebony smiled trying to lighten the mood. "It's been 15 years," "Thank god. I couldn't take another day of the nineties. That horrible grunge look? Did not suit you. Remember-" "It's important to stay away from fads," Stefan cut off Damon. "Why are you here?" Stefan asked.
"We missed our little brother," "The both of you hate small towns. It's boring. There's nothing for you both to do," Ebony and Damon exchanged a smirk before Ebony finally answered. "We've managed to keep ourselves busy." "You know, you left that girl alive tonight. That's very clumsy of you." "Ah. That can be a problem... for you," "What are you doing here now?" "I could ask you the same question. However, I'm fairly certain your answer can be summed up all into one little word. Elena." Stefan looked up at Damon in shock while Damon stood there smugly.
"She took my breath. Elena. She's a dead ringer for Katherine. Is it working, Stefan? Being around her, being in her world? Does it make you feel alive?" Ebony gave Damon a disapproving look, Ebony had never met Elena and relied on what Damon had told her. "She's not Katherine," "Well, let's hope not. Tell me something, when's the last time you had something stronger than a squirrel?" "I know what you're doing, Damon. It's not going to work," "Yeah? Come on. Don't you crave a little?" Damon raised an eyebrow as he hit Stefan. "Stop it," "Let's do it. Together. I saw a couple girls out there. Or just, let's just cut to the chase, let's just go straight for Elena," "Stop it!" "Imagine what her blood tastes like!" Dark veins emerged below Stefan's eyes and redness clouded his them. "Damon, come on now. That's enough." Ebony interrupted. "I can." Damon continued, completely ignoring Ebony. "I said stop!" Stefan hissed as he ran into Damon, throwing him out of the window. By the time Stefan landed on the pavement Damon was already behind him. "I was impressed. I give it a six. Missing style, but I was pleasantly surprised. Very good with the whole face- thing. It was good," "You know, it's all fun and games, Damon, huh? But wherever you go, people die," "That's a given," "Not here. I won't allow it," "I take that as an invitation," "Damon, please. After all these years, can't we just give it a rest?" Ebony jumped down on to the concrete to join the two. She looked up at Damon expectantly. "I promised you an eternity of misery, so I'm just keeping my word," "Just stay away from Elena," "Where's your ring? Oh, yeah, sun's coming up in a couple of hours, and, poof, ashes to ashes," Stefan glanced down at his hand to see that his ring had, in fact, gone. "Relax, It's right here," Damon pulled Stefan's Daylight ring from his pocket. He held out his hand and Stefan took the ring and slid it on his finger. Before Stefan could react Damon grabbed him by the throat. He glared at Stefan loving the struggle evident in his eyes. "Damon," Ebony laid a restraining hand on his arm. "Please, it's Stefan," Damon glanced back at Ebony then sighed as he threw Stefan against the garage. Ebony sent Stefan an apologetic glance as Damon put his arm around Ebony's shoulder. "You should know better thank to think you're stronger than me. You lost that fight when you stopped feeding on people. I wouldn't try it again," A light switched on in the house. Damon gave Ebony's shoulder a slight squeeze. "I think we woke Zach up. Sorry, Zach." "Sorry, Zach!" Ebony apologized.
