Dear Diary,
It's the first day of school, a new beginning, a new start. I've tried to let what happen in the past go. But it somehow keeps haunting me, I don't know how Elena does it, fake that smiles, say she's okay. I wish I had her courage, her strength to lie to everyone, saying you're fine. But right now I need to be me, a new me.
It's the only way I'll survive.
A girl with long wavy black hair, light ocean blue eyes, and light tan skin walks up to her desk with the mirror on top. She looks at it and smiles a little. Then she sets her dairy in her bag and pulls on her clothing; a short-sleeve purple shirt, tight dark blue pants, ankle brown boots. And she gave her reflection one last smiles, pulls her shoulder bag over her shoulder and headed down stairs.
"Hey Aunt Jenna." she said, smiling. "Well someone in a happy mood." Jenna states, the girl looks at her, "New start, new me." she tells her, pouring a cup of coffee. "Hey Elena." she calls out. "Morning Samathea." she smiles at her and Samathea handed her a cup. "Thank you." Elena then took the cup from her and Samathea grab another cup. "Toast. I can make toast." Jenna offers, "It's all about the coffee Aunt Jenna." Samathea tells her, pouring a cup. "Is there coffee?" Jeremy walks down to the kitchen and took the cup from her.
Samathea looks at him in dis-belief and grab another cup, and pour the remains in that one "You're first day of school and I'm totally unprepared." Jenna rummage through her bag "Lunch money?" Jenna offers a 20 dollar bill, Samathea shook her head, drinking her cup, "No, I'm okay." Elena tells her, but Jeremy took the money.
"Anything else? A number two pencil, what am I missing?" she asks them, Elena and Samathea exchange looks. "Don you have a presentation today?" Elena asks her. "I'm meeting with my thesis adviser at... now. Crap." Jenna pulls out her hair from the bun. "Then go, we'll be fine." Samathea tells her, Jenna smiles at her then took off. Elena then turns to Jeremy, "Are you okay?" she ask, he scoffs. "Don't start that." he tells her and walks off. She then turns to Samathea, "Sammy, you sure you're up for this?" she asks, rubbing her arm, Samathea was quiet for a moment then pulls off a smile.
"Yeah, new start, new me. If you can do it, I'm sure I can too." she tells her, Elena smiles at her, "Cheers." Samathea raise her cup a bit, Elena smiles, clicks her cup with Samathea's and they drink their coffee. Unaware of the two missing couple on the news.

Elena sat in the front with Bonnie as Samathea sat in the back, just looking at the stores they pass. "So Grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, which is all that crazy. But she goes on and on about it and I'm like, put this woman in a home already, but then I started thinking..." Bonnie's voice trails off as Samathea looks that the cemetery, where their parents where lay down to rest. "Elena, Sammy! Back in the car." she tells them, catching their attention. "We did it again, didn't we. I'm sorry Bonnie." Elena apologizes, "You were telling us that..." Samathea leans forward a bit, "That I'm psychic now." she reminds them, "Okay, then predict something. About me and Sammy." Elena asks her. Bonnie looks at them, "I see..." she was going to say but something small and black hits the windshield.
Bonnie snaps her head to the road and slams on the brakes, Samathea then suddenly remembers being back in the car with her parents and Elena and she was pulled back from the memory and as they came to a stop. Samathea lets out a steady breath as she leans back and calms her pounding heart. "What was that? Oh my god. Elena, Sammy are you okay?" Bonnie asks them. Samathea nods at her, "It's okay, I'm fine. Sammy are you alright back there?" Elena looks over her shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm okay." she answers her, "It was like a bird or something, it came out of nowhere." Bonnie explains to them, "Really, I- I- I can't be freak out by cars for the rest of my life." Elena tells her. "Nether can I." Samathea adds in. Bonnie just exhaled, "I predict this year's going to be kick ass. I predict that the dark times are over and that you and Samathea are going to be beyond happy." Bonnie tells them, Samathea smiles at her, leans up and place her hand on Elena's shoulder, Elena smiles at Bonnie and place her hand over Samathea's. Bonnie just smiles at the twins and drove off to school.
~8~8~8~
"Mayer lack of male real estate." Bonnie states as they walk through the hallway, "Look at the shower curtains Kelly Beach. She looks a hot– can you say training mess?" Bonnie asks the two. "No that's over." Elena tells them. "All a man with a quite a faze. Busy year." Bonnie tells them then looks over Samathea's shoulder. The twins look over and saw Matt staying in front of his locker, headphones in and was looking straight at Elena, Samathea smiles at him as Elena waves at him, Matt just grab his books from his locker and left. Elena sighs.
"He hates me." she grumbles, Samathea rubs her shoulder. "That's not hate, That, you dump me, but I'm too cool to show it. But secretly I'm listening to air supplies greatest hit." Bonnie tells her, "Elena, Sammy, oh my god." Caroline pulls them into a hug, they both pat her shoulders, then she pulls away. "It's so good to see you two." she tells them, "How are they, are they good?" Caroline asks Bonnie. "Caroline we're right here. And we're fine, thank you." Elena tells her. "Really?" she asks. "Yeah, much better." Samathea states."You poor things." Caroline pulls them back into a hug, "Okay... Caroline." Samathea chokes out then she pulled away, allowing the two to breath. "Okay, see you later?" she asks they nod at her and she left, Elena and Bonnie looks at her, "No comment. None, whatsoever. Okay, I'm not going to say anything." Samathea tells them and they walk away from Bonnie's locker.
They then stop across from the office, "Oh, who is that?" Bonnie said in an amuse tone, "All I see is his back." Elena tells him, "Yeah, a hot back." Bonnie states, "A new guy, that's not surprising." Samathea throws out, "I'm sensing Seattle and he plays the guitar." Bonnie states. "You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground, Huh?" Samathea asks her, "Pretty much." she answers, Samathea then looks over and saw Jeremy retreat to the boys restroom, "I'll be right back." she tells them and high tails it after Jeremy.
Inside the restroom, Jeremy uses an eye dropper to clean out his eyes. Samathea storms in, not caring it was the men restroom, she then pushes Jeremy against the sink and took a hold of his face, "I can't believe this, first day of school and you're already stone." she states in dis-belief, "What, no I'm not." he throws out. "Bullshit you aren't, who did you think it was that did first aid with Vicki all summer?!" Samathea shot back at him. He sighs, knowing he was catch, "Where is it? Is it on you?" she starts to check his pockets. "No, stop it, you need to chill yourself, al'ight!" Jeremy tries to stop her, "Chill myself? What is that, stoner talk. Dude, you are so cool." she went to check his pockets again, "Stop, I don't have anything on me, are you crazy?" he questions her, "You haven't seen crazy Jeremy. Elena and I gave you a summer pass. I'm not sure about Elena, but I am done watching you destroy yourself." she throws at him, Jeremy went to leave, but Samathea pushes him back against the sink.
"No, you know what? Go ahead, keep it up, just know me or Elena are going to be there to ruin your buzz everytime. You go it?" she tells him, then a boy walks out of the restroom, Jeremy just glares at her, "Look Jer. I know who you are and it's not this person, so don't be this person." Samathea asks of him, "I don't need this." he tells her and walks out of the restroom, Samathea just sighs. Then looks in the mirror, -I can do this, just breath.- she tells herself, running her hand over her long straight black hair. Then went to leave.
But suddenly bumps into someone, she turns and saw man that look a year older then her, "Sorry." she quickly mumbles. "It's fine, is this the men room?" he asks her, "Oh, um... yeah... I was just... um..." she tries to explain, but sighs, "It's a long story." she states. He smiles a little and nods, then went to step in the side, but she step to the side along with him. She smiles a little and went to step to the other side, but he steps along with her. She giggles and he steps to side and offers her the way out. She nods at him and left, the boy watches her leave around the corner and disappear.

"Once our home state of Virginia join Freniciy in 1861, it created a trominted amount of tension of state." Mr. Tanner states, Samathea looks over and saw Matt starting at Elena, she sighs and saw her starting at the new boy, Samathea just shook her head and went to her notes, she then saw Bonnie sent a send a text to Elena saying Hottie was staring. Samathea smiles a little and just listens to the lecture the teacher was going on about unaware that someone outside the building was staring at her.
~8~8~8~
Later that day, Elena went to the cemetery, along with Samathea, they both sat at same tomb stone from their parents.
Dear Dairy,
I made it through the day, I've must of said I'm fine or fake a smile a least 80 times today. And no one notice it, I wonder how many more nights I will wake up, coughing, remembering the feeling the water in my lungs, suffocating for air and how many more nights will I wake up missing them and hatting myself what happen that night and wishing I could change back time and stop it from happening. I've lost count of how I wish for that accident to never happen.
Jeremy tries to express his pain through, smoking, drugs, and drinking. Elena puts up with it trying to be her usual self, and Me... I lock it away, trying my best not cry, to bawl like a baby over spill milk.
I don't know how long I can keep lying to people, saying I'm alright, when I know I'm not, I just wish I couldn't feel this pain in my chest, the pain of my heart breaking. But there nothing I can do about it. I'm here now, I'm smiling and I'm surviving.
Samathea bookmarks the dairy and place it back in her bag, she then looks at the tomb stone that had her parents' names on it, she sighs then stood up. "I'm going to grab a bite at the Grill, you wanna come?" Samathea asks Elena, brushing herself off. She looks up at her and shook her head, "No I'm good, thanks anyway." she tells her, Samathea nods at her and walks away. Samathea walks pass the grave stones, seeing the ones that were long dead for a long time, then suddenly fog came out of nowhere.
Samathea looks around as she walks carefully through the cemetery, pulling her bag close. "Elena? Is that you?" she calls out, but then she jump in fright when she was a crow landing on a gravestone. She gulps down her fear and walks away from the crow, trying to stay calm, but the crow caws at her again and this made Samathea run from it she ran to the edge of the cemetery, she turns to see if the bird follow her. But then turns bumps into a complete stranger, he was tall, short dark hair like her, blue eyes just like her and was a bit pale.
She jumps in fright with a yelp. Knowing it was some guy, she jumps away from him, fully alerted. "Mary Ann?" he asks her, in a whisper, she tilts her head, "Whose Mary Ann?" she asks him, he chuckles and shook his head, "Sorry you remained me of someone I used to know." he tells her, she nods and relax a little. "Are you okay?" he steps closer to her, "Yeah, sorry. It's just that I was heading for the Grill, then out of nowhere this fog comes and a bird, it was very Hitchcock for a moment and that is the bird movie right, Hitchcock." she points out, the man smiles a little. "I get the feeling you can be jumpy when you're scared." he tells her, "Yes. No, maybe, kinda." she throws at him.
He just chuckles, "Come on, I'll escort you out of the creepy cemetery." he offers his arm, she looks at him and loops her arm with his and they both walk out of the cemetery. "Thanks for escorting me out of there, but I think I lost my apatite so I'm going to run back home and calm down a bit." she tells him, "Alright, one more thing." he grip the side of her head and made her look into his eyes.
"You will forget about me or ever meeting me, you will remember nothing about this encounter." his eyes diles a bit and Samathea held a blank look on her face, when she blinks the man was gone, she looks around, wondering how she got out, but shrugs it off and heads homes.
~8~8~8~
Later that night, Samathea brush out her hair and pins it up into a low half ponytail, wearing a black long sleeve shirt, tight pants and sneaks. "Sammy, you ready?" Elena asks her, "Yeah." Samathea grabs her coat and headed down stairs with her. "We're meeting Bonnie at the Grill." Elena tells her. "Okay, have fun. Wait, I got this, don't stay out late, it's a school night." Jenna tells them, placing her hands on her hips.
"Well done, Aunt Jenna." Samathea applause her, Jenna walks away from them with a triumph smiles on her face, Elena just giggles then Samathea opens the door and gasp as she saw the boy she bumps into at school today, "Hi." he greets her, "Hi." she said back, "Sorry, I was about to knock." he tells her. Then Elena walks up to them, "Stefan, hi." Elena tells her, Stefan looks between them, "Yes, we're twins, but our faces might be the same, but our hair color and eyes are totally different." Elena yells him. "Yeah I can tell, your hair is dark brown and eyes are brown and her hair is black and eyes are blue." he tells them. Elena smiles at her twin, "Samathea." Samathea held out her hand to him. "Stefan." he shook her hand.
"Listen, Elena, I wanted to apologize for the disappearing act earlier. I know it was strange." he tells her, she smiles and shrugs her shoulders. "No worries, I get it. Blood makes you squeamish." she throws out. He chuckles, "Something like that." Samathea chuckles as well. "How you're leg?" he asks her, "Oh, it's fine, just a scratch barley, Sammy bandage me up." she answers him, Samathea looks away, flushed with embarrassment. "How did you know where we lived?" Elena asks him, "It's a small down, I'd ask the first person I saw." he tells her.
He then reaches into his back pocket, "I thought you might want this back." he handed Elena her diary, "I was so drafted, thank you." she states. "Don't worry, I didn't look at it or read it." he tells her, "No, why not, most people would of." Elena tells him, "Well, I wouldn't want anyone to read mine." he states, "You keep a journal?" Samathea asks him, "Well yeah, if I don't write it down, I'll forget and memories are too important." he tells her, she smiles at little, "I'm just gonna um... you don't have to stand there." she tells him and walks back into the house, Samathea watches her twin, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Stefan step at the border of the door and just stop as if... he couldn't step inside, "I'm fine." he shouts back.
Samathea looks down at Stefan's feet and then back at him, he grew nervous, but was surprise when she lifts her head, looking him straight into his eyes and brought her index finger to her lips as she was telling him, 'Don't worry you're secret is safe with me.' She pulled her hand away from her lips and winks at him, he smiles a little and nods. Then Elena came back, peeking from behind the door, "I'm sorry were you two going somewhere?" he asks them, "Yeah, we're going to go meet a friend, do you want?" Elena asks him, he smiles at her.
~8~8~8~
The three enter the Grill and Samathea saw Matt eyeing Stefan, he then got up and walk over to them, "Hey I'm Matt, nice to meet ya." Matt offered his hand to him, "Hey, Stefan." they both shook, then he looks over at Elena who gave him a small smile. "Hey." she whispers. "Hey." he mumbles to her. He them looks at Samathea, who have him a small smile.
~8~8~8~
"So you were born in Mystic Falls?" Caroline asks him as the five sat at a table. Stefan nods at her "I moved when I was still young." he tells her, "Parents?" Bonnie asks him, "My parents pass away." he tells her and looks at Elena and Samathea, "I'm sorry." Elena tells him. "Anything siblings?" Samathea asks him, "None that I talk to. I live with my uncle" he tells her, Caroline didn't like who Stefan was eyeing Samathea. "So Stefan, if you're new, then you don't know about the party tomorrow." she tells him, cutting in.
"It's a back to school thing at the Falls." Bonnie tells him, "Are you two going?" Stefan asks the twin, they looks at him. "Of course they are." Bonnie throws in, Elena looks at her for a moment then looks at Stefan, tucking her hair behind her ear as Samathea rolls her eyes with a smile and fiddle with her hair a bit.
~8~8~8~
Then later on, Stefan when back to his house, in his room and he pulled on a black short sleeve shirt. Then a full grown man walks into his room, the news paper in his hand. "You promised." Zachary throws at him, Stefan looks at him then took the news paper from him, looking at the article that showed the pictures of the two missing people. "This was an animal attack." Stefan tells him, "Don't give me that, I know that game, you tear them up enough they always expect an animal attack, you said you had it under control." Zachary throws at him.
"And I do." Stefan gave the news papers back to him, "Please Uncle Stefan, Mystic Falls is a different place now, it's been quiet for years. But there are people who still remember, and you being here, it's just going to stir things up." Zachary warns him, "It's not my intention." Stefan tells him, "Then why did you, after all this time, why now?" Zachary questions him, "I don't have to explain myself." Stefan shot back at him, "I know... you can't change what you are. But you don't belong here anymore." Zachary tells him, "Then where do I belong?" Stefan asks him. "I can't tell you what to do, but coming back here was a mistake." Zachary states and left Stefan's room.
Stefan walks over to a cabinet, he turns the key and overs the door, revealing hundreds of diaries for each year. He took the least-est one out, opens it and the book held two pictures of two women that were taken in 1864; Katherine and Mary Ann, they both had the same faces, just like Elena and Samathea Gilbert.
~8~8~8~
"The Battle of Willow Creek, take place at the end of the war right here in our Mystic Falls, how many casualties resulted in this battle?" Mr. Tanner asks his class, "Ms. Bennett." he calls out to Bonnie, drawing her attention away from her notebook. "A lot, I'm not sure, like a whole it." she states, some of the class snickers at her answers.
"Cute becomes dumb in an instinct, Ms. Bennett." he throws at her, Samathea glares at him, "Mister Donovan, would you like to take this opportunity to over come your better Jock stereo type." Mr. Tanner asks him, "It's okay Mister Tanner, I'm cool with it." Matt throws at him, the class laughs a little. "Elena, surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significant historical event?" he asks Elena, "I'm sorry... I- I don't know." she tells him. "I was willing to be lenet for august reasons, Elena, but the personal excuses end with summer break." he shot at her, she act her eyes down, "There were 346 casualties, unless you're counting local civilians." Stefan throws in, "That's correct, thank you..." Mr. Tanner pauses, not knowing Stefan's last name.
"Salvatore." he throw out, "Salvatore and your relation to the original setters here in Mystic Fall?" Mr. Tanner asks him, "Distant." he answers him, "Very good, expect there were no civilian casualties in this battle." he tells the class, "Actually there were 27. counterfeiter soldiers they fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons and they were wrong. It's a night of a great loss." Samathea throws out, everyone looks at her, her eye contact with him didn't falter or shift from the gazes she was getting.
Mr. Tanner didn't say a word as he bow his head, "The founders archives are stored in the Great Hall, it you like to brush up on your facts. Mr. Tanner." she states, leaning forward in her chair. Elena looks at her sister, as Samathea kept a straight face. He just nods at her, Samathea then looks over at Elena from the corner of her, 'Thank you' Elena mouth, Samathea nods at her and leans back into her chair.
~8~8~8~
Later that night, everyone from Mystic Falls High were at the party, having a good time, Elena, Bonnie and Samathea stood by the fire, "Admit it Elena, he has a thing for you." Samathea boost. The two laugh, "Yeah, whatever." Elena rolls her eyes, Bonnie and Samathea just looks at her. "Just admit it Elena." Bonnie bug her, "Okay. So he's a little pretty." Elena states, "He has that romance novel glaze." Bonnie tells her, then she quoted something from a book and they all laugh. "So where is he?" Bonnie asks. "I don't know, you tell me, you're the psychic one." Elena throws out.
Bonnie smirks a little as Samathea giggles a bit. "Right I forget, now give me a second. Grams says I have to concentrate." Bonnie tells them, "Wait, you need a crystal ball." Samathea points out, then reaches down and pulls out a glass bottle. "Ta-da." she states with a tiny smile, Bonnie and Elena giggle at her and then Bonnie went to take that bottle from her, but as Bonnie's hand touch Samathea's her expression turned to hurt as her eyes were widen.
Samathea was confused by this and Bonnie quickly pulled her hand away from Samathea's, "What?" she asks her, "It was weird. When I touch you, I saw a crow." Bonnie tells her, Elena and Samathea's faces drop, "What?" Elena asks her, "A crow and then there was fog and a man." she tells them, Samathea show an expression of a slightly terrified face, "I'm drunk. It's the drinking, there's nothing psychic about it." Bonnie took the bottle from Samathea. Knowing that her just scared her second best friend, "Yeah, okay, I'm going to get a refill." Bonnie then dash away, "Okay." Samathea whispers as they watch Bonnie dash away, "Bonnie!" Elena calls out to her.
She then sighs then they both turn and saw Stefan standing right in front of them, "Hey." he said with a smile, "Hey." Elena said back, Samathea then walk off, giving them alone time and need some time alone as well, she walks into the woods and was just thinking to herself.
She then saw Jeremy walking somewhere, she follows him and saw Tyler trying to force himself on Vicki. She immediately walks over to them, grips Tyler by the back of his neck, her nails dug in and she threw him to the ground. "Sam, stop." Vicki beg her, as Tyler got back up, "You Gilberts are really starting to get on my nerves." he throws out to her, Samathea just glares at him, "Just go, get the hell away from me, Ty." Vicki throws at him as she stood by Samathea, "Wow, Vicki Donovan says no, that's a first." Tyler said then walks away from them.
"I didn't need your help." Vicki tells them, Samathea looks at her in dis-belief. "Bullshit." Samathea calls out, placing her hands on her hips. "Sammy's right, you sure did need our help." Jeremy throws out. "He's just drunk." Vicki throws out, Samathea just scoffs as she rolls her eyes. "I'm drunk and am I throwing myself at you?" Jeremy questions her, "No, you're worse, you want to talk to me, get to know me, see into my soul, and screw and screw and screw until you're done with me." she throws at him.
"And is that what you think?" Samathea took a step forward. "It's what I know." she tells her and then walk off. Samathea lets out a frustrated sigh then looks at Jeremy. "Don't give me that look." he states. "I'm kicking Tyler Lockwoods ass." she throws out, "Wait, what?" he asks her, she looks at him and cross her arms. "You have a set of ears Jer, I don't need to repeat myself twice." she tells him and walks off after Vicki.
~8~8~8~
"Vicki, Vicki!" Samathea shouts out to her, Vicki ignored her, "Hey! I'm talking to you, you can't defend him forever!" Samathea shouts at her, Vicki groans at her and turns to face her. "What do you want me to do, Sam, fight back?" Vicki questions her, "Yes, that exactly what I want you to do. You can't keep letting him do whatever he wants to you." Samathea shouts at her. "Why are you even here, Sam?" Vicki questions her.
"I'm here, cause I care and because I want to help you." Samathea tells her, Vicki rolls her eyes at her then looks over Samathea's shoulder. "What?" she asks her, Samathea turns around and saw fag creep up from behind them. Samathea slowly starts to back away next Vicki. Then something whooshes pass them, making them turn, then Samathea lets out a yelp as strong arms wrap around her from behind and she suddenly found herself back at the entrance of the party, she was very confused by this and she stumbles back to the party.
She looks back to the woods, wondering how she got back so fast, she jumps with a gasp as she bumps into someone. "It's okay, it's okay." Stefan tells her, gripping her shoulders, she looks at him and pants. "What's wrong? I could hear your heart beating at a high speed, what happen?" he asks her. "I don't know, one minute I was talking with Vicki then fog came out of nowhere and the next thing I know, I'm back here." she said all in one breath. Stefan nods rubbing her shoulder and nods at her, comforting her. She close her eyes and took deeps breathes to calm down, "It's okay, you're okay." he tells her. She nods, now feeling calm.
"How do you feel?" he asks her. "Stable, or so to speak." he states, they both chuckle at that statement he pulls his hands away from her shoulders, she then brush a strain of her hair behind her ear, "Stefan can I ask you something?" she whispers to him, "Sure." he tells her, "How old are you and don't say seventeen, because I can see through lie." she tells him, he looks at her and smiles a little, "I'm a 161 years old." he tells her.
"Wow, that's... that's... wow." she stumbles over her words. "You're not scared?" he asks her, "No, not really. It's actually... kinda cool." she tells him. "But I'm a vampire, you know crazy, blood-sucker, monster." he gave her reason to doubt him. "So, you may be a vampire, but not a monster, it's what you choose to be that defines you who you are, not what you are." she tells him. He looks at her and smiles a real smile, "Help! Somebody help!" Elena shouts out, everyone turns and saw Jeremy carrying Vicki and Elena held her head, "Oh my god." Samathea mumbles then took off.
"Hey, move! Get out of my way!" Samathea shouts out, making people move out of her way and to Vicki, "Tyler, force them back! Now!" Samathea orders, he nods at her, "Hey, back up give her space!" Tyler pushes back the crowd, Samathea kneels down beside Vicki, "We need to put pressure on her wound, water. I need clean water, and a clean cloth of some sorts to clean out the wound." she the tells the others, they look at her.
"Now!" she shouts, snapping them out of their trance, "Somebody call, 9-1-1!" she also shouts out. Stefan was amazed on how Samathea took charge, then realized who might have bit Vicki. He then took off from the party.
~8~8~8~
Stefan ran across the lawn and right inside the house, "What's going on?" Zachary asks him, "Someone else was attack tonight Zack and it wasn't me." Stefan tells him and ran upstairs into his room. He slams the door behind him, Stefan looks around his room and saw his balcony window open, and a crow flew in, landing on the pillars.
He sighs and looks over at the open door, seeing a man with jet black hair and blue eyes. "Damon." he throws out and Damon just smirks at him. "Hello, brother."
~8~8~8~
The crow sat on the railing outside cawing, "Crow's a bit much, don't you think?" Stefan asks him. "Wait til you see what I can do with the fog." Damon states, looking around the room. "When did you get here?" Stefan asks him, "Well I couldn't miss you're first day of school." Damon throws out and walks over to the shelve, "You're hair's different, I like it." he smirks.
"It's been fifteenth years, Damon." Stefan throws out, "Thank god, I couldn't take another day of the nineties. That horrible grudge look, did not suit you." Damon walks across the room. "Remember Stefan, it's important to take away from fed." Damon tease him. "Why are you here?" Stefan demands of him, Damon turns and looks at him, "I miss my little brother." Damon throws out. "You hate small town, it's boring, there's nothing for you to do." Stefan throws out. "I manage to keep myself busy." Damon smirks at him.
"You know you left that girl alive tonight, hm. That's very clumsy of you." Stefan tells him, leaving out the fact Samathea knows and that Damon pulled her away from the scene right before he attack Vicki. "That could be a problem. For you." Damon smiles at him, "Why are you here now?" Stefan asks him. "I can ask you the same question. However, I'm fairly certain your answer can be sum up into two little words; Elena and Samathea."
~8~8~8~
The ambulance place Vicki inside the back and Matt hops in with her, Samathea sat on the railing, her chin rested on top of her knee and her arms wrap tightly around her leg.
Elena stood next to her, they both watch the ambulance take Matt and Vicki to the hospital, "Hey." Bonnie states as she walks up to them, Elena looks at her, "We're going to get some coffee." Bonnie tells her, Elena nods. "I got to get Jeremy and Sammy home." she tells her. "Elena, Samathea." Bonnie states, Samathea looks over at her.
"There no way I'm psychic, I know that. But whatever I saw or think I saw, I have this feeling..." Bonnie pauses. Samathea turns and sat cross-legged on the railing. "Bonnie, what?" she asks her. "That it's just the beginning."
~8~8~8~
"They took my breath away. Elena and Samathea, but most Samathea. They're dead ringers for Katherine and Mary Anne." Damon states. Stefan just looks at him. "Is it working Stefan, being in their world? Does make you feel alive?" Damon taunts him, "Elena is not Katherine." Stefan throws out. "Well lets hope not, we both know how that ended. But dear Samathea is just like Mary Anne, her spirit, her fire, her temper and will." Damon smirks to himself.
"Tell me, when is the last time you had something stronger then a squirrel?" Damon walks up to him, Stefan scoffs at him. "I know what you're doing Damon, it's not going to work." Stefan went to walk away. Damon just hit him in the shoulder, "Yeah, come on. Don't you crave a little?" Damon demands of him, "Stop it." Stefan throws back, Damon just shove him a little. "Come on, do it, together. I saw a couple girls there." Damon hit him upside the head. "Or lets just cut to the chase, lets go straight for Elena." Stefan shoves him back.
"Stop it!" Stefan growls, "Imagine what her blood. I can." Damon pushes him further, "I said stop!" Stefan flashes his fangs at him, eyes turn crimson red, he then slams his body against Damon and sent both of them flying out the window and slam right onto the concrete floor.
Stefan pulls himself to his knees a few hours later, "I was impressed." Damon states. Drawing Stefan's attention, leaning against the hedge. Stefan stood up. "I give it a six, missing style, but I was patently surprise." Damon states, Stefan brush himself off as he stood up, "Very impress with the whole, face thing. It was good." Damon laughs at him, "Yeah, it's all fun and games, huh?" Stefan questions him as he walks over to him. "But wherever you go, people die." Stefan states for a fact, Damon just shrugs. "That's given." he throws out, "Not here, I won't allow it." Stefan stood his ground.
Damon narrows his eyes at his brother, "I'll take that as an invitation." he states, "Damon, please, after all these years, can't we give it a rest?" Stefan begs him. "I promised you an eternity of misery, so I'm just keeping my word." Damon reminds him. "Just stay away from Elena and Samathea." Stefan throws at him, "Where's you're ring?" Damon asks him, Stefan looks down at his middle finger and saw his day ring was missing.
"Oh, the sun's coming up in a couple hours and poof, ashes to ashes." Damon jokes a bit, Stefan swallows a lump. "Relax, it's right here." Damon held out his hand and showed him Stefan's ring. He looks at Damon, then took back his ring and slips it back onto his finger. Damon then grips Stefan's throat, baring his fangs, the veins near his eyes pulse and he threw his brother at the shed.
Stefan hits the side, falls to the ground and was now laying on his back, Damon looms over him. "You should know better to think you're stronger then me. You lost that fight when you stop feeding on people, I wouldn't try it again." Damon threatens him. Stefan just pants, "I think I woke Zack up." Damon smirks and walks away, "Hi Zack."

Samathea just sighs, "I called Jenna, she's on her way." Elena informs him. Jeremy went to take another drink, "Those people in uniforms, late time I check, they're the police." Elena tries to tries to lighten his mood, Jeremy just scoff, took one final drink and toss his beer away.
"People are going to stop giving you breaks, Jer. They just don't care anymore." Elena tells him, Jeremy looks at her, "They don't remember our parents are dead. They got their own lives to deal with, the rest of the world has moved on. You should try too." Elena tries to help him.
"I've seen you and Sammy in the cemetery, writing in your diaries. Is that... is that suppose to be you two moving on?" he asks them, Samathea sighs and looks at Elena, she just shook her head. "Mum and Dad wouldn't of wanted this." Samathea throws out, Jeremy looks at her for a moment and then out into space. Samathea lays her head on his shoulder, he response by laying his head against hers.

Dear Diary,
I don't know what to do anymore, I found out Stefan is not just a vampire, but a that he's been living for a hundred years, I can imagine that he's done terrible things and now regrets it, But most of all. This other vampire, why did he pull me away and back to the party, why not attack me as well? I had a plan, I wanted to change who I was, be someone new.
Someone without the past, without the pain, someone alive. But it's not that easy, the bad things stay with you. They follow you, you can't escape them as much as you want too. All you can do is be ready for the good, for when it come, you invite in, because you need it, I need it, now more than ever.
Samathea sets her pen down, bookmarks her page, place her diary on the night stand snuggles deep into the blankets and turns off her lamp. Waiting for tomorrow to come.
