A/N – So this is just the short intro. Basically the idea is that this is right before the start of the show—Stefan is planning on meeting Elena, but Damon gets there first. Please let me know what you guys think and if I should continue!

Damon walks into The Grill and scans the room. His enhanced vision rapidly adjusts to the dim lighting.He quickly spots her, sitting at a table with a group of friends. She's beautiful—her face lighting up with laughter at something one of her friends says. The resemblance to Katherine is uncanny. Everything about this girl, Elena, looks the same. But just from these few seconds of watching her, Damon can already tell she is nothing like the disastrously gorgeous Katherine. No, Elena's innocence easily shines through, uncorrupted and pure.

Stefan was right. How did he find out about her? For weeks, Damon had kept his eye on his younger brother, and for weeks Stefan had been extremely distracted with something—always scribbling in his diary or disappearing for long periods of time. Last week, Damon took it upon himself to glance through Stefan's journal, and he couldn't believe the writing within:

...I saw her again today—as she left school, I saw her, watched her. She looks exactly like Katherine, the same beautiful dark hair, and the same smile. But I think she's different. She must be different. I don't think I can hold myself back much longer. I have to meet her. I have to know her. I do not think I can wait anymore. Next week, next week...

The simple mention of Katherine invoked unbelievable feelings and urges within Damon. Katherine, the only woman who got the best of Damon, who destroyed him over a century ago. The thought of Katherine's doppelganger in Mystic Falls was too much for Damon to resist. His selfish nature urged him to hunt down this Elena before Stefan could get could do the same. Thankfully, she was very easy to find.

Damon continues to watch Elena from the edge of the room. He's thrown off by his reaction—for the first time in a long time, he doesn't know what to do with himself. Should he go up to her? Should he leave? His eyes glance towards the bar. Maybe he should get a drink; that's always a good option. Just as he starts to move, Elena's eyes roam towards where he is standing and land right on him. He feels the pressure of her gaze. With pleasure, he recognizes the look in her eyes—desire and curiosity. Her eyes stay locked onto his own until a friend of hers taps her shoulder and pulls her back into conversation. But Elena is distracted now, still looking at Damon out of the corners of her eyes. He has a strong desire to go up to her, take her away with him, compel her if he has too. But he resists, knowing this has to be done carefully.

After a final glance towards Elena, Damon leaves the bar. He needs time to think, to settle his strangely strong emotions. But most importantly, he needs to make sure he gets to Elena before Stefan does.
