So I'm new into the Vampire Diaries fandom, but I'm really excited to join it! I just watched the season 3 finale yesterday and couldn't resist coming up with my own little season 4. I hope it is enjoyed! Sorry for the short length- this is simply a prologue.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the book, or television show of Vampire Diaries. Meaning, I don't own any familiar characters or setting affiliated with it either.


"Elena," Caroline whined from the couch she was sprawled across, "Hurry Up!"

Elena rolled her eyes and shared a smirk with Bonnie who kicked Caroline lightly, sitting on the other edge of the couch. Elena was currently trying to keep an eye on the television to keep up with the horror movie they were watching while waiting for the popcorn to finish.

Her mother and father were sitting at the kitchen table finishing up some kind of council work they had. Elena assumed they were just down here to make sure they didn't try to sneak any boys in the house- specifically her boyfriend, Matt.

Before the microwave timer could go off- and recieve another stream of complaints from Caroline- Elena pulled out the popcorn and dumped it in the last bowl. As she balanced the snacks on her arms, her father's hand snuck out and grabbed a handful. Elena mock glared at him but laughed at the innocent expression on his face.

Mrs. Gilbert grabbed a two of the bowls off of her daughters arms and helped her carry them to her friends.

She beckoned her husband over to her and began to drag him down the hall to head upstairs. "We'll leave you girls alone now," she stared down the boy sitting in the chair next to Caroline, "That includes you, Jeremy Gilbert."

Said Gilbert looked around in confusion, "Hey! They don't mind me," to which he recieved three pillows to the face, "Fine, fine," he muttered under his breath.

"Just give up on getting with my friends, Jer," Elena told him. He punched her lightly on the arm and she ruffled his hair back before following after his parents.

Elena's mother mouthed the words "Love you" towards her daughter, so as not to emberass her in front of her friends. Elena returned the gesture before plopping back down between her two totally normal, alive, best friends.

A ragged gasp woke her up and she wished desperately to return back to that heavenly dream. Back to that place where everything in her life was simple.

She took in her surroundings and realized she had no idea where she was. Suddenly, thoughts of a bridge, Matt, and water returned to her all at once.

And it was in that instance she realized how incredibly thirsty she was.


Reviews would be very much appreciated(:
