Hello and welcome to my NEW story! My best friend made me watch The Vampire Diaries and I just fell in love it with it (Mostly Damon). So here we are! Now just a warning that for my Chapters are long and I will be posting in pairs of two's because I write a lot and they come out in pages. So for two Chapters = one whole ep of the show. Okay? Okay! I only own Aurora AKA "Rori" (:


Dreaming. Dreams are the windows to your heart and soul. There places that you remember or places that you fear. A man standing in the fog with a crow sitting on his shoulder. A dream that I have had ever since I could remember. I would sit in my bed for hours drawing a shadow of a man in the fog with a crow somewhere in the picture. But...What does it mean? I remember yelling out to him once and asking for his name but I never got it. Sadly, I haven't seen him in my dreams lately. The reason why is because this summer was hard on my family. Hard on me, my twin sister, Elena and our younger brother Jeremy mostly. You see, our parents were killed in a car accident and Elena was in the car when it happened. It was hard to lose them but I accepted it quicker then the others, being that I'm the oldest. I think about them a lot, but I know I would've died if Elena did. I know I can't live without her. We were always close for being twins and all but after the car accident...I guess you could say it brought us as close as we could ever be. Growing up and even now, we're the opposite, though we look the same except for the red strips in my hair. Plus Shes a cheerleader, while I'm a singer. She like the color pink while I tend to wear red and black a lot. But that never mattered to us, we love each other for our different personalities. I could never lose my sister and my best friend.

I let out a loud sigh as I started to think what if I lost my twin in the car accident again. I can't think about that, I have other things to worry about. Like school starting up today, even though I'm not ready at all. I looked over at my alarm clock and groaned. 5:30a.m. Lovely. Once again I have spent the night thinking about the car accident and drawing the shadow man again. I stood up from my bed and slowly dragged myself to my mirror before staring at my refection. Big black bags sat under my eyes and my red strips in my hair have dulled out again. But who cares, its nothing that bad. I moved to my dresser and pulled out my favorite faded black jeans and red v-neck shirt and got dressed. Looking around my room, I spotted my red converses and started to slip them on, not noticing my door starting to open. Finishing that, I turn around and to see my twin standing in my doorway. "Rori? What are you doing up?" Elena said quietly, still half asleep. A smile fell onto my lips as I walked over to her. "Just getting ready for school now, so we don't have to fight for the bathroom." She nodded her head a bit and threw her arms around me, hugging me close. Hugging her back, I heard her whisper "I miss them." "I miss them too" I said to her as we pulled apart. I hated seeing her so sad but I don't know how to help. I pulled her back into a hug before saying, "Come on, time to get ready for school." and with that we went out separate ways for the morning.

I just finished brushing my wavy hair as I looked over at my clock once again. 6:30a.m. Setting my brush down, I walked over to my door and headed down the stairs. I could smell the burnt toast already. As I got down stairs, I could heard Aunt Jenna saying something about making toast. Called it. Walking into the kitchen, I watched Aunt Jenna scrambling around it before I moved over to the counter were my coffee cup waited for me. "Its all about the coffee, Aunt Jenna." Elena said as she watched my pour my cup. Oh sweet, sweet coffee. "Is there coffee?" Jeremy said walking into the kitchen. I gave him a small smile before handing him a cup. I went over and stood next to Elena, sipping on God's greatest gift. "Your first day of school and I'm totally unprepared. Lunch money?" Aunt Jenna asked us. At least she's trying to be a guardian over us. "Nah, we're good." I said pointing at me and Elena. After that, Aunt Jenna realized that she had a big presentation and ran out the door. I love that she is taking care of us. But I just don't want her to over worry about us and forget about her own life. As I drank the last of my coffee, me and Elena watched Jeremy grab his stuff and leave the kitchen. I quickly stopped him and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay?" He just glared at me and mumbled 'Don't started' before storming out of the room. I sighed as I looked over at my double. "Are you okay?" She asked me. I just nodded my head slowly, "Sure, I'm fine I guess." Elena gave me a tiny smile before hooking her arm with mine. "I'm ready when you are."

Bonnie came and picked us up. Elena called shot gun so I had to get in the back seat. So hate the back seat. As we drove to school, I listen to Bonnie talk. "So Grams is telling me I'm psychic." Bonnie said looking at the road. I blinked my eyes once before responding with a "Really?" She nodded her head before speaking, "Our ancestors were from Salem, witches and all that, I know, crazy, but she's going on and on about it and I'm like, put this woman in a home already!" I couldn't help but laugh a bit. Bonnie was mine and Elena's best friend. She's pretty great. "Your Grandma sounds sweet." I said smiling at Bonnie. She smiled back at me, "But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands...Elena! Back in the car." I jumped when Bonnie yelled at her. Looking over at Elena I started to smirk as she spoke, "I did it again, didn't I?" we both nodded our heads at her. Elena sighed, "I'm sorry, Bonnie. You were telling us that..." "That I'm psychic now." Bonnie said smiling proudly.

Elena and I shared a glance at each other before looking back at her. "Right. Okay then predict something. About us." Bonnie nodded her head happily at the requests, "I see..." Just as she was going to predict our futures, something big hit the windshield, making us swerve. I was thrown back against the seat, hitting my head against the headrest. I'm going to feel that later. "What was that? Oh, my god! Are you guys okay?" Bonnie asked sounding concerned. She looked over at Elena, who nodded her head, "Its okay, I'm okay. Are you okay, Rori?" Elena looked back at me as I rubbed the back of my head. "I'm just super." Bonnie shook her head at my sarcasm and sighed. "It was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere." She said a bit startled that she just traumatized us more. Seeing that, I leaned over and placed my hand on Bonnie's shoulder. "Bon, Its okay. We're okay. We can't be scared of cars our whole life now." I looked over at Elena as she nodded her head, agreeing with me. Bonnie looked at us both and smiled, "I predict that this year is going to be kick ass. And I predict all the sad and dark times are over and you guys are going to be beyond happy. " I laughed as Bonnie said that. "We're going to rock this year!" I said leaning back against the seat. Just as we continued driving to school, my eye was caught by the big crow sitting on the stop sign. Did I really hit my head that hard?

We finally got into the school, and walked down the hallway looking at all the faces that filled it. It was quiet till Bonnie started to speak, "Major lack of male real restate. Look at the curtain Kelly Beech. She looks like a hot-" She stopped and looked at us. "Can I still say 'Tranny mess'?" I shook my head laughing a bit as Elena told her that it was over. "Ahh..find a man, coin a phrase. Its a busy year." She said smiling. We just rolled our eyes but stopped in the middle of the hall when we saw Mattie. He looked over at my sister and I and frowned, walking away. Dick much? Elena sighed looking at me and Bonnie. "He hates me." I shook my head at her, hooking my arm with hers. "I don't think he does." Bonnie then jumped in, "Yeah, That's not hate. That's "you dumped me, but I'm too cool to show it, but secretly I'm listening to Air Supply's greatest hits." " As we laughed, I quickly stopped when I spotted the blonde devil approached us.

"Elena! Oh my god!" Caroline said throwing her arms around my sister. After a minute later, she let go of her and looked over at me before giving my sister her full attention. God, I hate her. "How are you? Oh it's so good to see you. How is she? Is she good?" Caroline said smiling at Elena. "Caroline..." Elena started to speak but I quickly cut her off. "WE'RE right here and we are both fine. Thanks." Caroline through me a glance and turned back to Elena to ask. "Really?" Elena nodded her head and looked at me. "Yes, much better." I was about to hook my arm with Elena's but I was rudely pushed aside by Caroline yelling "Oh you poor thing!" and hugging Elena once again. I really wish this blonde devil wasn't my sisters friend. I started to get a bit pissed at her and thankfully Elena noticed. "Okay, Caroline." Caroline jumped a bit then smiled "Oh! Okay, see you guys later?" I was about say something rude but I was stopped by my sister's hand over my mouth. "Okay, bye!" Bonnie said smiling at her as she left. My sister sighed, removing her hand. Then Bonnie and Elena looked at me. "Just...No comment." I said before we started to walk away.

As we continued down the hall, I grabbed my IPOD and started to listen to 'HIM- Killing Loneliness'. Elena smiled at me and hooked her arm onto mine. She knew when I played HIM, I was in a bad mood. Elena basically knows what music makes me happy or puts me in a sad mood. Its kinda a twin thing. All the sudden, Bonnie stopped short, making us run right into her. "Hold up. Who's that?" Bonnie said looking at the guy with his back to us. "All I see is back." Elena said looking at him. I looked at her then back at the guy's back. "Yeah, but its a hot back." Bonnie high-fived me and started to smile, "I'm sensing Seattle, and he plays the guitar." I just rolled my eyes as Elena giggled at my reaction. "You're really going to run this whole 'Psychic thing' into the ground, huh?" She asked Bonnie. "Pretty much." I shook my head and placed my left ear-bud in. "Okay, ladies. I'm heading to class." I hugged them 'Good bye' and headed to my class. Walking to class, I put both ear-buds in and sighed. PANIC! Blasted through my buds making me get lost in their lyrics. I needed some one on one time with my music. Its really like breathing for me. Just then, I hear a crow sound coming from my ear-buds. I quickly grabbed them out of my ears and looked around but saw nothing. To day is just getting weirder and weirder by the minute.
