Author's Note: Ok, so I'm on a plane right now, and I' D. My brother has managed to fall asleep and I just can't do it. So I decided to write a little something.

What if Elena had a twin sister?

Would Stelena/Delena occur?

Cassie Gilbert

Chapter 01 - Pilot Part 1

Cassie's P.O.V

"Cassie! Come on, get up!" The sound of my twin's voice reached my ears and I groaned and rolled over in my bed, the crisp sheets rustling. Quickened footsteps came into my room and someone burst in, "Cassie! Get up, come on. Bonnie's picking us up in an hour, it's our first day back."

"School, huh? I think I'll pass on that one, Elena." I pulled the duvet over my head but suddenly the whole sheet had been ripped from my grip, I shivered at the sudden coldness and I opened my eyes angrily. "What are you doing, twin?" I demanded angrily.

"Come on, I'm not arguing with you. Get up, otherwise you'll be late." Elena looked unfazed at my angry protests, she walked out of my room and I sighed and slowly got up, trudging towards the adjourning bathroom. I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, a 17 year old girl with olive skin and dark brown eyes looked back at me. Sighing I picked up my hairbrush and started brushing my wavy hair: it was the only difference between me and my twin, Elena, whilst her hair was straight, mine rolled in light waves off of my shoulders. After brushing my teeth and hair I applied some light makeup, taking one last look at my face, just to make sure I looked as good as I thought I did. I wasn't disappointed. I walked straight over to my wardrobe and started pulling out clothes, narrowing my eyes as I scanned over the skirts and dresses. I wasn't known to be the modest twin, but I guess I like the attention. I settled for a dark red short skirt and a white silk top, I layed them out on my bed and began to undress out of my pyjamas. When I was in my black underwear I had the feeling like someone was watching me, on instinct I turned to my windows and saw a crow sat on the tree outside my house, the bird's gleaming eyes were boring into mine. I shuddered to myself and closed the curtains quickly. I came downstairs to see the kitchen was empty, my aunt Jenna had most likely gone to campus and Elena had decided to leave.

"Great. Just great." I muttered to myself and looked at my car keys on the counter, my hand reached towards them but pulled back at the last moment. I couldn't face driving a car yet, I hadn't been behind the wheel of a car since the accident before summer break, my parent's car had gone off the bridge with me and my twin in it, along with our parents. Whilst my parents had died, Elena and I had mysteriously survived, everyone around town had said it was a miracle. My school bag was next to the door in the hallway and I picked it up before walking out the door, retrieving the key from under the garden pot and locking it before setting in the direction of Mystic Falls High, the school where I attended, when I was in the mood to of course. Whilst I was walking in town I heard a distinct noise of a crow cawing, I looked behind me with confused eyes, trying to pinpoint the sound. When I looked back the dark bird was sat on a signpost, it cawed at me and didn't take it's gleaming eyes off me, I shuddered and quickened my pace. I sighed almost in relief when I reached the school, teenagers were talking in groups outside of the building, near the parking lot I glimpsed a few of the stoner kids leaning against a wall holding cigarettes. I frowned in disgust and turned away, only to be enveloped in a tight hug.

"Oh my God you're here! I thought you wouldn't show..." I rolled my eyes and gently pried myself from Caroline's grip.

"Yeah I showed, couldn't let Mr Tanner lecture someone else about uniform." I smirked and she giggled, I looked over her shoulder and saw my twin looking at my outfit with a disproving look, she caught my gaze and I winked and blew her a kiss. I laughed when she turned away and stormed into the building, Bonnie close behind her. "Some things never change." I sighed mockingly and started towards the school, Caroline was trying to keep up with my quick strides and was babbling to me about the bonfire night tonight. When I entered the school I saw Elena storming into the men's bathroom, I followed and quietly stepped in after her, leaving Caroline next to the lockers.

"You haven't seen crazy, Jeremy! I gave you a summer pass, but I am done watching you destroy yourself. No, no, no, you know what? Go ahead. Keep it up. But just know that I am going to be there to ruin your buzz every time, you got it? Jeremy, I know who you are. And it's not this person. So don't be this person." I heard my twin's judgmental voice echo around the bathroom and I quickly stepped into the view of my younger brother Jeremy looking bored and edgy with Elena looking at him sadly.

"Hey, hey! So this is where the party's at!" I throw my hands out and step towards them, my heeled pumps clacking against the hard floor, Jeremy sniggered at me and my twin did another one of her disapproving looks.

"Oh grow up, Cassie. Jeremy's high and it's not even first lesson yet!" She accusingly pointed at our little brother, I fought a smile from my face and looked evenly at my mirror image.

"Geez, Elena calm down. He's just going through a phase, he's gonna look back at these years and think how stupid he was for doing drugs. He needs to figure it out on his own." I defended Jeremy, Elena shook her head and scoffed.

"Did you seriously just say that? Jeremy needs our help, Cassie! Why can't you see that!" Elena shouted, Jeremy put his hands over his ears.

"I don't need this. Why can't you be more like Cassie, Elena? She's cool and you're well... Not cool." Jeremy told us before storming out of the bathroom, Elena sighed and glared daggers at me.

"This is your fault. You encourage him, Cassie. Can't you see that he's not dealing with this properly?"

"And can't you see that you're not dealing with him properly?" I shot back and stalked away from her.

"Go home and put some clothes on, you look like you're going clubbing!" Elena called out to me, I scoffed and flicked her off before walking out of the bathroom, my dramatic exit was cut short though, I ran straight into...

"Uh, pardon me. Um...is this the men's room?" A tall boy stood in front of me, he had dark hair and green eyes and was nice to look at.

"Well, yeah. But it's not like that! I had my brother, and he uhhh..." I stumbled as I tried to find an excuse that didn't include the fact that my brother was doing drugs, behind me the bathroom door opened and my twin slammed straight into the guys' chest, doing exactly what I did.

"Oh!" She exclaimed and looked up at the guy, she sent me a sideways glance and grabbed my hand. "Excuse me." She told the boy, he was looking shocked and his gaze switched between us. The new guy wasn't having a good encounter with twins... Elena and I moved to the left, but so did the boy. Awkward! He turned and let us pass, Elena shot him a friendly glance and I rolled my eyes at him and we walked off, I checked my new timetable and groaned; History was first lesson with Mr Tanner. Great.

"Once our home state of Virginia joined confederacy in 1861, it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state. People in Virginia's northwest region had different ideals than those from the traditional deep south. Then Virginia divided in 1863 with the northwest region joining the union..." I blocked out the lecture from Mr Tanner by slipping in an earphone and looking around the room, I was sat at the very back of the room, Matt Donovan was on my left and another jock on my right. Elena's friend Bonnie was in front of me and Elena herself was in the middle row, then new guy we had bumped into earlier was also in our class, more than once I caught him looking at me, normally I shrugged off a guy looking at me. But this guy had an intense gaze, my eyes wandered to my twin in the middle row, I expected her to be looking at Mr Tanner but she was looking at someone else entirely, I could guess who it was. In front of me I saw Bonnie tapping into her phone, I read the text quickly: 'HAWT-E. STARING U.' I scoffed and rolled my eyes at the message and heard a painful sharp intake of breath to my right, I looked over to see a look of pain on Matt's face. I patted his shoulder sympathetically before reaching down and changing the song on my phone, waiting for the lesson to be over.

I was sat at a table in The Grill with Matt and Tyler Lockwood, Tyler used to be ok, we used to date but then we broke up and he kind of became a...dick. Matt used to date my twin but then she broke his heart, he still hadn't moved on and was hurting. Matt's sister Vicki came over with a jug of water and refilled my glass. "Thanks, Vick." He looked at her appreciatively, I nodded and tipped my glass in thanks to her before she grinned and turned to Tyler.

"Do you need another refill?" She asked him with wide eyes and pouty lips, Tyler smirked and nodded.

"I'd love one." He brushed her hand and she giggled and nodded before walking off. I looked between the two boys and saw Matt giving an annoyed glance to Tyler.

"Please tell me you're not hooking up with my sister." He groaned.

"I'm not hooking up with your sister." Tyler smiled, showing teeth and I sighed.

"Stop being such a dick, Ty, seriously not cool." I told him but he simply shrugged.

"Whatever, Cas." He shot back, I shook my head and finished the glass of water, setting it down and looking up to see Caroline and Bonnie enter the room.

"His name is Stefan Salvatore. He lives with uncle up at the old Salvatore boarding house. He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family, so they moved around a lot. He's a Gemini, and his favorite color is blue." I heard Caroline explain to Bonnie, I narrowed my eyes and thought back to the strange new kid today in History.

"You got all that in one day?" Bonnie asked the blonde with an amazed look.

"Oh please, I got all that between third and fourth period. We're planning a June wedding." Caroline replied and I couldn't help but snigger.

"How's Elena doing?" Matt's question snapped me back into reality, I couldn't help but be a little hurt: it's not like my parents died too!

"Are you serious? Our mum and dad died, how do you think we're doing?" I snapped at him and gave him my 'mean girl' look.

"Ok ok, God you're mean...has she said anything about me?" Matt asked, I looked at him for a long time, carefully choosing my words.

"Well, Matty. If you pick up the phone and call her, you might get an answer." I slid my phone across the table towards him, Matt looked at it before shaking his head.

"I feel weird calling her, she broke up with me." Matt explained sheepishly, Tyler snatched up my phone.

"Don't call her, go out with another girl. Trust me, as soon as you start banging someone else, you'll forget all about Elena Gilbert." Tyler winked at me and I hit his shoulder.

"You're such a twat! Good to know your method of how you got over me, Tyler." I stalked away, but Matt followed me.

"Don't listen to him, Cas. Trust me, after you broke up with him it took him weeks before he could even speak to another girl." Matt told me in a low voice, I smiled at Matt and touched his arm lightly.

"Thanks, Matt."

"Anytime, but seriously, what should I do with Elena?" Matt pressed, I sighed and shrugged.

"Well, knowing my sister she'll probably need time, so just give her some breathing room." I told him, my twin seemed to have the ability of the worst timing ever because as I said this she walked in with the new kid. Stefan Salvatore.

"More time, huh?" Matt scoffed and walked past me and over to them. I shrugged and lost interest, making my way over to Caroline and Bonnie.

"That looked messy." Caroline told me as I took my seat at their table.

"Tell me about it, Elena has the worst timing ever." I groaned and hit my palm on my forehead.

"Don't worry about it, I have plans for me and Stefan." Caroline told me and Bonnie, Bonnie shook her head and I smirked.

"Really Caroline?" Bonnie questioned the blonde.

"What? Elena doesn't have any claim yet, I want him." Caroline threw her hands up in protest. "Shh they're coming over. Not a word." Caroline directed the order to me, I raised an eyebrow, combing my wavy dark hair through my fingers.

"Hey guys," Elena greeted us warmly, Stefan was standing behind her. His green eyes surveyed the table, last of all they landed on me. He looked away immediately and I shrugged, weird kid. "This is Stefan Salvatore, I thought I might introduce you all. Ok so this is Bonnie, that's Caroline, and this-."

"I'm Cassie, Elena's twin." I smoothly interrupted my twin, she frowned and I smiled, out of the corner of my eye Bonnie and Caroline exchanged a glance. "I'll go get us some drinks."

"I'll help." Elena offered and I shook my head.

"No! You don't have t-."

"I insist." Elena all but dragged me over to the bar. "Right," She said, turning to me, "Why are you being like this?" She asked, I decided to play dumb.

"What are you talking about?" I asked her, making a show of tilting my head confusedly.

"Don't play that card, Cassie. You're against me all the time, I haven't even done anything to hurt you!" She said exasperatedly.

don't know what you're talking about." I said nonchalantly, grabbing three glasses of drink.

"Oh yes you do, just now you interrupted me, and earlier in the bathroom with Jeremy! You completely took his side! When, Cassie? When are you gonna grow up and start acting your age?" She snatched up the last two glasses and walked back to the table, the barmen was looking at me with a shocked look.

"Wow, that was heated..." The barmen said, I shrugged and nodded. "You want something stronger than diet coke, sweetie?" He asked, gesturing to the gleaming rows of alcohol.

"Yes please!" I acted out a fake giggle and a nod, he smiled and poured me a shot glass. "Thanks." I told him and did the shot, the alcohol burned my throat but I did feel better. I took the glasses back to the table and handed them out to Bonnie and Caroline.

"So, you were born in Mystic Falls?" Caroline was playing twenty questions on Stefan, I rolled my eyes and took a sip of my drink.

"Mm-hmm, and moved when I was still young." Stefan nodded, I looked at him for a moment: surely we would have heard of any other Salvatores in town? Our parents would have mentioned...

"Parents?" The blonde pressed, leaning forward with a glint in her blue eyes.

"My parents passed away." Stefan told her, I was shocked to see this and looked over to him, my twin was doing the same.

"I'm sorry. Any siblings?" Elena took over Caroline's control of the conversation, I cast a glance at the girl and saw a look of annoyance on her face at my twin.

"None that I talk to, I live with my uncle."

"So, Stefan, if you're new, then you don't know about the party tomorrow." Caroline swooped in and took hold of the question game again, Bonnie shook her head and I had to stifle a laugh.

"It's a back to school thing at the falls." Bonnie explained to the boy, Stefan nodded and turned to Elena.

"Are you going?" He asked her, Elena looked shocked at the sudden question, Caroline looked furious.

"Of course she is." Bonnie answered for her.

"Don't get your hopes up Stefan, Elena isn't that fun anymore. I mean, ever since her and Cassie's parents died she went all mature on us." Caroline told the table, I glared at the girl.

"Wow, Caroline. How insensitive are you? So what if Elena has matured more, you act like a four year old half the time anyway. I'm outta here." I put my drink down with a heavy thud and walked out of the bar.
