In the Arms of Silence
Chapter 1
It started off as a normal day for all of them. Nine days that would be forever changed by the events of this day. It started off as a normal morning. First off was Elena Gilbert. She was at the top of her class and the co-captain of the cheerleading team. She woke up with the biggest smile on her face thinking that today would finally be the day she would work up the courage to talk to Damon Salvatore. The boy she had dreamed of ever since he had bumped into her on the hallway that day.
They really weren't in the same cliches, but Elena didn't care for that as much as everyone else did. Elena got out of her bed and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Today was the day. She just knew it. She looked at her reflection in the mirror once more as she walked down the stairs to join her sister Katherine and her brother Jeremy for breakfast.
There parents were no where in sight, but Elena knew they were busy. She just wished she knew what her siblings were thinking at the moment. They weren't really close, but she still loved them no matter what. She just wished they felt the same way about her. But she would settle for whatever she got.
Jeremy sat beside Elena determined to finally ask Bonnie Bennett on a date. Today was the day he would finally ask her. Next to him Katherine thought about Stefan Salvatore. They had been friends for a while now and today she was going to kiss him no matter what happened she wondered what he was doing now.
Stefan sighed as he sat down in his assigned seat. His father was always one for them and he was a man of punishment as well so he didn't dare break one of his rules. However his brother Damon didn't feel the same way.
Damon scoffed as he came down the stairs hanging up his phone. He was really getting tired of Caroline's attitude. He swore that today would be the day he broke up with her for good. Maybe he would meet an actual girl that his parents didn't disapprove of.
Caroline scoffed as she sat down on her table pissed off who needed Damon Salvatore anyway. She would find someone way hotter and better. She had to call Bonnie.
Bonnie Bennett heard her phone ring and picked it up. It was Caroline complaining about Damon yet again. All Bonnie wanted was a normal day with no drama. She sighed and picked up her backpack to go to school. Unfortunately what they all didn't know was that their lives would be forever changed over the course of this day. They just didn't know it yet.
