Sofia Gilbert- Portrayed by Emilia Clark (Blonde One)

Sofia Gilbert knew she was different from the moment she opened her eyes, her lungs burned from all the crying and screaming the little infant was doing.

She stood out from everyone in her family. Her eyes were a piercing Blue color, and her hair was a curly light blonde/white color. It made her feel left out and ashamed to be around her family.

"Are you adopted?"

"Where you born from an affair?"

"Are you albino?"

Sofia would hear that almost every day when she was younger. Everyone would look at her strangely.

"Sofia!"

The blonde hair girl jumped, and blinked a few times, coming out from her daydream once she hears her mother's voice from the other side of her bedroom door.

Today was the day of the Bonfire party in the woods tonight, and Sofia was planning to cover for her sister tonight.

Elena and Sofia were born on the same day, yet they weren't twins. Well to them, they were, fraternal twins, but in real life, they were cousins, but they didn't know that.

"Yeah, Mom," Sofia calls out as she pushes herself up from her desk chair and walks over to her door and opened it, so she was talking to her mom, face to face.

Her mom's eyes landed on Sofia's necklace, a sigh of relief once she saw that her daughter was indeed still wearing it. There were times when Sofia didn't wear her necklace, and weird things were to happen around the house and in the world. For example, one time when Sofia was fighting with her brother, a loud and terrible fight when she was eleven. After Jeremy said something insulting and uncalled for, Sofia slapped her brother and ran all the way up the stairs, breaking a few stairs on her way up and slamming the door behind her. While Miranda was scolding her son, she felt the earth starting to shake.

Years went by and Miranda and her husband, Grayson, always make sure that Sofia wears her necklace at all time.

Miranda smiles, "I just want to make sure that you were up and not sleeping in. Got a lot of packing to do before we go to the cabin and don't forget it's family night today."

Sofia smiled and nodded her head, "thank you mom, I'm up now. Thanks."

Her mom nodded her head before turning her back and headed back down the stairs.

Sofia closes her door and walks over to her closet, but before she can do that, her bedroom door opened and in came her sister, Elena, who was still dressed up in her PJ's.

"Hey, Sofia." Elena mumbles as she watches her sister twirl back around, browns knitted, "are we still on for tonight?"

Elena knew Sofia wasn't the type of girl who goes out to parties, get drunk, smoke, fool around. Hell Sofia hasn't even gotten her first kiss yet, and she's already 16 years old.

Sofia nodded her head as she rubbed her eyes, feeling a wee bit still tired, "sure Lena, what time are you planning to leave?"

Elena gave a one-shoulder shrug, "I don't know, maybe 8, Matt's is going to pick me up down the block."

Sofia sighs, 'Matt' she thought. Is it wrong to have developed feelings for your sister's boyfriend? 'Yes, it is' her mind informed with a snotty attitude. Sofia had a soft spot for the football quarterback for years, even before him and Elena gotten together. Matt always saw Sofia as a little sister, so Sofia knew her love was one-sided even before him and Elena got with one another.

"That's good. Well, I have to start packing, spending the rest of the summer down at the cabin."

"Yeah, same, but I'll start tomorrow. Thanks again." with a soft smile, Elena leaves the room, leaving Sofia all alone with her packing.

Later that night, the whole family was enjoying spending time together in the living room.

All but Elena, who was apparently "Sleeping" in her bedroom from having a long and tiring day.

"No!" Cried out Aunt Jenna, Sofia's aunt, and Miranda's sister, as she had just rolled the dice and landed herself in the jail.

Everyone was having a good old time, just enjoying being with one another.

Sofia started to giggle as it was her turn to roll the dice.

"Hey, Miranda? Where's Jeremy? He's been in the bathroom for a while?" Jenna asks her sister as Sofia rolled the dice and it landed on a two and a six, so eight moves.

"Huh, you're right. Let me go check..." Miranda stood up from the couch, but before she went, she looked at her daughter then looked at the game board, "You owe me five-hundred bucks."

Sofia pouted, her father laughed, and Jenna giggled as Miranda walked towards the stairs.

"So Sofia, can't you wait to go to the cabin, it's going to be so much fun."

Sofia nodded her head, a tiny grin on her face, "It is going to be fun. I can't wait to go swimming."

"Grayson! Jenna!"

All three heads shots to where the stairs were they could hear heavy footsteps, and then saw Miranda rushing down the stairs, storming over to where the rest of the family was.

"Sofia, can you give us all a moment."

Sofia got up, without questioning anything, and exited the room. She walked up the stairs to her brother's room and saw the door was closed and that could hear loud music playing from the inside. With a sigh, the blonde hair girl walked to her room and closed the door. She walks to her bed, and laid on her back, staring up at the ceiling.

She just looked as one of her freed hands wondered towards her necklace.

Her light browns knitted as she quietly spoke aloud, "I wonder why I always have to wear this necklace? It's not like this is special or anything. It's nothing fancy. So why?" towards the end, her voice started to grow softer, and before she knows it, she was asleep.

She just didn't know that the chain broke just as her eyes shut, and the necklace fell onto the bed, away from her body.

"Sofia?"

Sofia's heavy eyes struggled to open as her body just stood there.

In the middle of Wickery Bridge.

She gasps, waking herself up even more. "Whoa. Elena?"

Sofia stared at her sister in shock. How the hell did Sofia get here? She literally just fell asleep in her bed.

"What the heck are you doing here?" Elena raises her brows, rushes towards her "Twin."

Sofia shivered at the cold air, "How did I get here? Why are you here?"

"Fought with Matt, left the bonfire early. Called mom and Dad."

Sofia's eyes widen, "you called mom and dad!" Elena nodded her head, "Yeah, they weren't happy. They know about you covering for me. They weren't happy. But their coming."

Then all of a sudden, Elena's phone started to ring, she pulls out her phone and saw it was Bonnie, "Hey it's Bonnie, let me answer it." Sofia nodded and let her sister walk away to talk to Bonnie.

"I'm so screwed,"

"What's wrong?"

Sofia lets out a quiet scream, jumps into the air, before twirling around, hand over her chest and her eyes went wide when she didn't feel her necklace.

'My necklace' she thought, but it quickly vanished when she saw the guy standing in front of her. He was insanely handsome. Even at this hour, Sofia could still see how sparkling his eyes were and how dark his raven black hair was. He was fit, dressed in dark jeans, a black shirt with a black leather jacket on.

"Beth?"

Sofia shook her head, "No...Sofia..."

The stranger blinked a few times, "Oh I'm sorry, it's just that you reminded me of someone. Your face, it's... I'm sorry. I'm Damon."

"Not to be rude or anything, Damon, but it's kind of creepy that you're out here in the middle of nowhere."

"You're one to talk. You're out here all by yourself."

Sofia found herself hiding a smile, she was kinda enjoying talking to this Damon guy, "My sister is talking to her friend, and It's Mystic Falls. Nothing bad ever happens here."

There were a pause and Sofia begins to talk again.

"Then why are you two doing out here?"

"My sister got into a fight with her boyfriend, I don't know why, he's a very nice guy, and for myself, I don't know. I just appeared."

This Damon guy raises his thick dark brows, "Just appeared?"

Sofia found herself starting to giggle, "I'm not on drugs, trust me."

"Let me bet, you like your sister's boyfriend."

'How did he...' Sofia thought as her shoulders slumped.

"But deep down, you want someone else. What do you like about him?"

It took Sofia a few long seconds for her to say anything about Matt. "He's friendly, sweet..."

Damon then smirked, his eyes lightening up as he took a step closer to Sofia, "You want more...you want what everybody wants."

Sofia grin doubled in size, "What, mysterious stranger who has all the answers?"

"Hm, well, let's just say I've been around a long time. I've learned a few things."

"So, Damon, tell me. What is it that I want?" Damon moves closer towards her, still smirking, as they stared intensely into one another's eyes.

"You want a love that consumes you. You want passion, an adventure, and even a little danger."

Sofia cocks her head to the side, intrigued with what this guy was saying. Something about this guy makes her feel funny.

"So, what do you want?"

Damon hesitates. He didn't know what he truly wanted at the moment. But before he could respond, Sofia's parents honk their horn and drive closer. Sofia turned her head to where the honking came from, "It's my parents."

Once she turned back to Damon, who has moved even closer, looked into her eyes once again. "I want you to get everything that you're looking for, but right now I want you to forget that this happened. Can't have people knowing that I'm in town yet. Goodnight, Sofia."

Once Sofia closes her eyes, she reopens them and saw no one there in front of her.

"Sofia, let's go."

Sofia nodded her head and followed her sister.

The Mysterious Stranger gone.

But he shall return in a few months...along with the supernatural to Mystic Falls.
