Chapter 1- Pilot

"Olivia! Get up!"

I ignored the noise and burrowed my head beneath my bed covers. Too tired. Need sleep. I resumed my dream of Channing Tatum. Mm, those abs.

"Olivia! I'm not kidding! Get your ass down here right now!" My dearest uncle continued his shrieks.

Jesus Christ. Can a girl not dream about her future husband? I heard stomps going up the stairs, and then my door flew open.

"Olivia! Bonnie's picking you up!" My bitch of an uncle yanked my covers off. The cold!

"Ugh." I groaned. Maybe if I ignore him, he will leave me alone?

"Bitch, get up." My uncle continued with trying to get me up. I continued to lie still. The noise stopped. Maybe he left? Suddenly I felt warm hands around my ankles and then an almighty tug. I was now on the floor. That bitch had just pulled me out of bed. Rude.

"You are the worst! I was dreaming of Channing Tatum" I grumbled as I struggled to get off the floor. My uncle gave me his hands and pulled me up.

"My bad. Channing Tatum is sexy. Have you seen his abs?" My uncle exclaimed as he tried to smooth down my wild blonde hair.

I shoved his hands away, "I was until you pulled me out of bed, bitch." I stumbled into the bathroom and locked the door. I looked into the mirror, yikes. My naturally wavy blonde hair was sticking up in all directions. My makeup had rubbed off, and was now situated in black smudges below my blue eyes. I rubbed the smudges off and stumbled into the shower. I turned the water to a hot, luxurious temperature and just breathed.

However this state of tranquility was disturbed by the high pitched wails of my flamboyant uncle Gabriel trying to get me downstairs and ready for Bonnie and Elena's arrival. Gabe has been my guardian for as long as I can remember. My parents died in a fire when I was five years old. The Reece family was virtually non-existent, so being the last relative I had, Gabe, being my Mom's younger and only sibling, took me in as his own, and now twelve years later, I was just starting my junior year at Mystic Falls High School.

I wasn't ashamed to say Gabe was my best friend. He was basically a male and gay version of me. We were both loud, blonde and didn't take shit from anyone. We were a pair, even if he annoyed the hell out me sometimes, we were always there for each other. It was just me and him in our moderate size house. My parents had left me a very large inheritance when they died, so I put it to good use. Gabe was known for having his...erm... conquests over, so we had established a code long ago, that he would text me if it was unsafe to go into the house, so in that case I would crash at Elena's considering she lived two minutes away.

I turned off the water in the shower and wrapped a pink fluffy towel around myself. My hair was now considerably less sticky uppy, and somewhat presentable. I quickly got changed into a light blue sundress, and paired it with my white Converse. I was a girly girl at heart but I still couldn't go out looking like Barbie, it would ruin my reputation, in my opinion I was possibly the coolest girl ever, so Converse it is.

I quickly ran a brush through my long blonde hair, and the waves reached just below my breasts. I quickly put makeup on my tanned, smooth skin, and ran downstairs.

Gabe was plucking his eyebrows in the mirror by the front door. God, he was vain, but hey so was I so I couldn't really judge. I ran into the kitchen and grabbed a chocolate pudding, and heard a car beeping outside. That must be Bonnie.

I ran to the front door of our two-storey home and stopped to give my uncle a hug.

"I'll stop by The Grill later maybe to see if your lucky," I winked at him and opened my pudding, and took a bite using a spoon I stole from the kitchen.

"Hmm you may be a size 2 now girl, but if you eat like that, you won't be for much longer. But I'll see you later slut." I stuck my tongue out at Gabe, opened the front door and ran to the Prius which was parked right outside my house. I waved to my best friends as I opened the car door, and sat in the back.

"Hey bitches," I managed to say while my mouth was full of chocolate pudding. It was good pudding. Bonnie and Elena giggled.

"Liv, stop being gross. Chew then speak." Bonnie commanded as she started the car and began to drive towards school. Don't get me wrong, Bonnie is one of my best friends, but hell the girl has got to relax sometimes. To share this view, I stuck my pudding covered tongue out of my mouth. She smirked and shook her head at me. I'm so hilarious. Bonnie began to speak again, "So Grams is telling me I'm psychic," I scoffed at this. Oh Sheila. That old hoot. At this point I zoned out and looked out the window at the passing buildings. Elena's parents had died before Summer started, and things were still very tough. Elena and Jeremy were like siblings to me, as Gabe and their Aunt Jenna were best friends. Everyone had been treading very lightly around Elena. We all wanted to help her cope, but there was only so much we could do. Jeremy had been acting out a lot ever since, by being friends with a bad crowd and doing drugs. He was ruining his life, so whenever I had the chance, I would try and get him back to his normal self. To do this I have just been escalating our usual banter. Last week I got grounded because I pulled down his trousers in the middle of the aisle in Walmart. He was wearing his Superman underwear. It was a hilarious sight that everyone witnessed, and was definitely worth the detention. My train of thought was interrupted when something hit the windscreen and the car suddenly swerved.

"Oh shit, what the fuck was that?" I gasped as I nearly fell out of my seat.

"Oh my god Elena, are you okay?" Bonnie asked Elena alarmed. Oh dear, that would have totally spooked her considering what had happened a few months before.

"It's okay. I'm fine. I can't be afraid of cars forever." Elena said uneasily.

"It was a bird or something it came out of nowhere." Bonnie said trying to comfort the brunette.

"Fucking bird," I whispered. I hate birds. They are creepy and gross and no. Birds and Olivia do not mix.

Bonnie started up the car again and began towards school. Soon enough we pulled into the parking lot.

"Oh god, here we go again, another year in the hell hole," I sighed. In my opinion school was bullshit and I didn't want to go.

"Liv, you'll be fine," Bonnie smiled as she put her hands on my shoulders and began to push me towards the school.

"Bite me Bonnie Bennet," I laughed as the new school year began.


"Ugh," I groaned as I repeatedly banged my head on my locker. I had just learned we had History with Mr Tanner first period. Kill me.

"Aw Liv it's not that bad, he doesn't hate you that much," Bonnie comforted me. She was wrong, he did hate me that much. William Tanner and I did not get along. Apparently I am "disruptive and annoying" in class. I didn't agree and I made sure he knew that. Sure, I did get joy out of annoying the hell out of him, but it was a lot of effort and I got very little award.

"I don't want to see his face every morning," I groaned as I continued to bang my head against the hard surface of my locker.

Bonnie, Elena and I were gathered around my locker talking about our new class schedules. I raised my head off my locker and turned around, observing the students that walked down the hallway.

"Matt's staring," I noticed. Aw poor Matty, he was one of my best friends but he needed to move on from Elena. She had broken up with him awhile a go and he wasn't taking it well. He continued looking at Elena like a sad puppy. I blew him a kiss, and his sad expression subtly turned into a smirk. He closed his locker and walked away. I was such a good and loving friend.

"He hates me," Elena observed.

"He probably does." I said expressionless as I continued to look at the people who walked down the hallway, this was disturbed however when Bonnie thumped me hard in the arm.

"Ow! What he probably does! You broke his heart!" I exclaimed as I rubbed my arm. It would probably bruise, I'll get Bonnie back for that later.

"Ignore her, that's his I'm too cool but I'm too heartbroken to show it face, he'll get over it," Bonnie tried to comfort a sullen looking Elena.

"Incoming, Bitch Alert," I whispered as Caroline Forbes walked towards us. Caroline and I had always been rivals in everything. Boys, friends, and we were even co- cheer captains. She only cared about herself and annoyed me to no end.

"Elena" Caroline barged forward, pushing past me , nearly knocking me to the floor, and wrapping her arms around Elena. "Oh my god how are you? It's so good to see you, how is she is she good?" she asked Bonnie, who smiled fakely.

"Oh my god Caroline, Elena isn't an invalid, you can ask her those questions yourself," I exclaimed. God, this was going to be a hard year if Caroline continued to be like this.

"Olivia, leave it. I'm fine Caroline,"Elena said as she pulled away from the hug.

Caroline turned and glared at me, I gave her the finger. Her jaw dropped, but she instantly shook it off. "Ok, I'll see you guys later?"

I continued to glare at her as she sauntered off. Bonnie and Elena linked my arms and began to drag me down the hallway.

"Wait hold right up," I stopped in the middle of the hallway, "Hot guy with a really nice ass." I said as I pointed to the boy who had his back to us, and was speaking with the secretary. Mm, I would.

"Hmm I sensing Seattle" Bonnie said "and he plays a guitar"

"You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground aren't you?" Elena asked

"Pretty much" Bonnie nodded

"Do you think he puts out on the first date?" The two girls gawked at me, "What? I want to know!"

We saw Jeremy walk into the bathroom, then suddenly Elena started to follow him and said, "I'll be right back".I She then entered the boys bathroom.

"You do realise, that people will think she's a hermaphrodite if they see her go in there?" I reasoned as Bonnie smirked and dragged me to class.

We entered Mr Tanner's classroom and we took our seats. He had his back to the classroom and was writing his name on the board. He turned around and glared at me.

"Miss Reece."

"William."

This was going to be a long year.

I sat in front of Elena, and she told me how she found Jeremy high in the bathroom. That boy was going to get debagged again if he wasn't careful. Our conversation ended when we saw the new guy walk in. Damn, he was hot. Funny hair, but he was definitely hot. He smiled at Elena as he sat down.

"Hey, I'm Olivia. You're really hot," I introduced myself. In my opinion, honesty is the best policy.

He laughed and smiled warmly at me "Stefan. Nice to meet you."

I smiled back at him, and sat back in my seat. Mr Tanner turned around and began to teach the class. I put my head down on my desk and was going to go to sleep, when Mr Tanner interrupted.

"Olivia," he glared at me, "at least try and look like you are interested what I'm saying."

"Ok, so William, how was your summer? Go anywhere nice?" If he wanted interested, I would give him interested. The rest of the class laughed.

"It's Mr Tanner to you, Reece, and don't make me start the year by giving you a detention," He glared at me and I shut up. Detention did not sound appealing. He started to teach and I zoned out. Wow, he really was boring.


I was saved when the bell rang. The rest of the day went very uneventfully, but I got the idea that Elena was interested in Stefan, so I would have to end my crush on him. Girl code was important to me.

We all had organised to go to the Grill later that night. It was always a tradition to go after the first day of school. I went earlier to see Gabe. He was a bartender. It was cool having your uncle as a bartender. It meant that when he was in a particularly good mood, he would serve me alcohol. I do love Gabe.

"Hey bitch," I greeted my uncle as he wiped down the bar counter. I sat on one of the stools in front of it, so I could be comfortable.

"Hey slut, how was school?" He asked. Even though Gabe was young and cool, he still very much cared about my education, and wanted to see me go to college one day.

"Hmm not bad. I have Mr Tanner again," I sighed.

"Ugh that guy. He's so gross and old." I laughed at Gabe's comment, it was very true, "But be good, I really want you to get a good grade in this class,"

I nodded. Gabe didn't ask for much so when he did, I always made sure I did what he asked, "So, my very cool uncle, can I have a drink?" I put on my sweetest voice and gave him a dazzling smile.

"No," he laughed, "Now go away Elena is here, and who is that with her? Damn he is fine," I turned on my seat and looked to see Elena and Stefan enter the Grill. I also saw Bonnie and Caroline sitting at a nearby table.

"That's Stefan. He's a new guy at our school. Isn't he hot?" I said as I smiled at the couple from a far.

"He is. Do your uncle a favor, become very good friends with him, okay? I want to see him at the house a whole lot," Gabe playfully begged.

I laughed as I got off my seat, "You got it slut, I'll see you later." I slipped off the bar stool and walked towards the table where her friends now were.

"Hey guys," I said as I sat down beside Bonnie. I ignored Caroline, I really did not want to deal with her.

We conversed about the school day and then the conversation shifted to find out more about Stefan.

"So Stefan were you born in Mystic Falls?" Caroline asked

I moved around when I was young" Stefan replied.

"Parents?" I asked gently

"They passed away" Stefan said quietly

"Like Elena and Olivia" Caroline replied

"Shut up Caroline," I muttered. Jesus did that girl have any subtlety. I heard Bonnie scolding the blonde

"I'm sorry" Elena said

"Any siblings?" I asked wondering, if there was a hot brother I could get my hands on, because obviously Elena had dibs on Stefan.

"None that I talk to" Stefan exclaimed. Dammit.

"So anyway" Caroline said, I rolled my eyes, Caroline couldn't take it when there was no attention on her, "there's a huge party tomorrow"

"Yeah it's a sort of the beginning of the year thing" Bonnie nodded

"Will you be there?" Stefan asked looking at Elena

"Of course she is, plus she's Olivia's ride so-"

"Hey! Who said I needed a ride?" I asked confused

"Well, since you don't have a car or driving licence.." Ooh that stung Bennett. My friends enjoyed making fun of me because I had failed my driving test three times, but I can have to say, my failures weren't my fault. The animals had simply just been in the way of my vehicle.

"If I'm going then so are you" Elena declared "come on Liv it'll be fun"

"Fine! I haven't got super drunk in awhile, so yeah I'll go," I relented, the only way I'll be able to start with the new school year is to be super drunk I guess.

After about another hour, I started to get tired, so Bonnie offered me a ride home since Stefan and Elena wanted to stay for awhile longer. I waved to Gabe, and said I would see him later.

Bonnie pulled up outside my house.

"So my psychic friend, what do you see for the future of Stelena?" I asked interested.

"Stelena?" Bonnie asked confused

"Stefan? Elena? Stelena? C'mon Bon, get with the program." I exclaimed, Bonnie giggled.

"Hmm I don't know, he seems really nice though," Bonnie said sweetly.

"Bet you they will have Stelena babies. BET YOU!" I said as I left the Prius. I waved to Bonnie and entered the house.

I went up to my room, and found my window open, with a crow sitting on the window still.

"Shoo! Little shit," I muttered as I closed my window. Ugh, birds.

I lay back on my bed and stared up at the ceiling. I really hoped Stefan and Elena worked out. She needed some light in her life, and I think he could be just that. My mind wandered until I fell into a deep sleep.


"Olivia get into the classroom!" Bonnie said as she shoved me into Mr Tanner's classroom. Needless to say, I was not looking forward to seeing Mr Tanner.

"But Bonnie he is so mean and old and boring," I sighed as I sat in my seat and waited for hell to start. She gave me a smile as she got her books out of her bag.

"Let's start where we left off, the battle of Willow Creek took place of the war in our very own Mystic Falls, how many casualties resulted in this battle?" Tanner asked, no one answered, "Miss Bennett"

"Erm…a lot? I mean a lot, a lot" Bonnie said,I snorted at that, Oh Bonnie.

"Cute becomes dumb in an instant Miss Bennett, brush up on your history" Tanner barked,

"Dick" Bonnie muttered

"Miss Reece, would you like to tell us the answer?" Tanner glared at me.

"Well….erm…..no your quite alright Mr Tanner..." I trailed off

Tanner rolled his eyes and looked around the classroom. "Mr Donovan, would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your imbedded jock stereotype?"

"Nah, I'm cool with it" Matt said, making the rest of the class laugh.

Tanner continued to search for a victim and unfortunately it was Elena, "Elena would you care to enlighten us?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know" Elena uttered

"I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons but the personal reasons ended with the summer break" Tanner said through clench teeth

"William, not cool," I muttered while he glared at me.

"There were three hundred and thirty six casualties" Stefan's voice became heard in the class "unless you count the local civilians"

"That's correct Mister-"

"Salvatore" Stefan informed the man

"Salvatore, any relations to the original settlers here?" Tanner asked

"Oh my Lord, you are so nosy" I said to Mr Tanner, making the other people in the class laugh. He ignored me.

"Distant" Stefan replied to Tanner's earlier question.

"Well very good, except there was no civilians casualties in this battle" Tanner said

"Actually there was" Stefan told the man "there were twenty seven confederate soldiers that fired on the church believing it to be housing weapons" he paused "The Founders Archives are stored in the Civil Hall if you liked to brush up on your history"

"Burn" I scoffed making the class laugh, and Mr Tanner turn red. Stefan may have just gotten onto the wrong side of Tanner, but hey that meant we had a lot more in common. I see a bright future for Stefan and I's friendship. Yeah, I see it now, Stelivia, yes that had a certain ring to it.

The rest of the class passed in a blur as I thought of fun new activities to do with my new best friend. It was gonna be fun.


"Fuck," I muttered as I searched through my wardrobe. I couldn't find my jeans, "Gabriel?!" I screamed for my uncle.

He walked in while rubbing moisturizer on his face "What?"

"Have you seen my jeans?"

"You mean the ones lying on your bed?" I turned around, and there my jeans were sitting on my bed.

"Oh, thanks," I said as I slipped them on my slim tan thighs.

"Just call me Sherlock," He said.

I began to put on my makeup as he sat on my bed.

"Can I help you?" I turned to look at him as I put on mascara.

"You're so pretty," he said as he looked at me.

"Aw thanks you too," I replied sarcastically.

"Ok prepare yourself, I'm gonna be mature," I fake gasped, and my uncle laughed but then turned to a serious demeanour, "Be careful tonight, I've been to this party before, and things can get out of hand fast. Don't drink too much, don't let guys take advantage of you and most of all don't do anything I wouldn't do."

I laughed and gave him a hug "Don't worry slut, I'll be fine," I heard a beep from outside, "Okay that's Elena. Gotta go, don't wait up," I kissed his cheek and went out to Elena's car.

"Hey bitch," I said as I got into the front seat of the car. Elena began to drive towards the party, "Excited to see Stefan?

She blushed and laughed, "Maybe,"

"Oh my God you really like him don't you?" I asked. It was a nice sight to see Elena happy.

"He is different. There is something about him that just draws me to him. He makes me happy," I put a hand on her shoulder as we pulled up at the Falls. We exited her car and began to walk towards the crowd of drinking teenagers. I spotted Bonnie and we walked towards her.

"Hey Bon Bon, are we drunk yet?" I winked at her.

"Nope not yet," She laughed.

"Well, if you excuse me I am going to get a drink," I stalked off to get a bottle of alcohol. If I was going to get super drunk tonight, I better start now.

I took a sip of my vodka and observed the crowd. I would say about 94 percent of the people were already drunk, which made things a lot more hilarious, because there were people falling over and fights being started. It was pretty entertaining. I then spotted Matt.

"Matty! My main man, my bro, my homie, how are ya?" I asked as I slung my arm around his shoulder.

"Are you drunk?" He laughed

"No not yet, why? Are you trying to take advantage? Ay Ay?" I nudged and winked at him. I think the vodka was starting to take effect.

He laughed and shook his head, "But to answer your earlier question, I'm good thanks for asking. How are you Liv?"

"Oh you know, talking to my best friend, being generally awesome. You know the usual," I said as I wrapped both my arms around Matt. He smelt so good.

"You are pretty awesome," He said as he tapped me on the head. Our banter was brought to an end by some screams.

HELP, WE NEED HELP"

"Elena?" I rushed over to my best friend who was beside an unconscious Vicki.

"VICKI, OH MY GOD VICKI" Matt shouted running over to his sister.

Vicki had a large wound in her neck, and it was very bloody. I wasn't good around blood, not at all.

I could hear the sounds of sirens coming towards us.

"Hey" Elena said as she came over to me, "are you okay? You look really pale?"

I was getting really dizzy, I couldn't stop watching the blood flow from her neck.

"Mm," I said.

Those were the last words I said before the blood became too much, I collapsed to the ground and darkness took over.


I woke up very slowly to find I was lying in my bed, and Gabriel was sitting beside me.

"And she returns," He said as he handed me a glass of water, which I sipped. "How are you feeling?"

"Not too bad. How long was I out for?" I said as I set the glass on my bedside table.

"About two hours. Elena and Bonnie brought you home. I keep on telling you this honey, if you see blood just look away," He said as he rubbed my arm.

"Yeh, sorry about that, but I couldn't it was just gushing from her neck," I started to feel woozy again so I changed the topic, "How is Vicki? Is she okay?"

"Yes, she's at the hospital now. They said it was an animal attack. I don't want you going to the Falls anymore Olivia, it's too dangerous, " He kissed my head and got up from the bed, "Now you have had an eventual night, so get some rest. Love you," He said as he turned off my light and left the room.

"Love you too slut," I muttered before sleep overcame me.
