Chapter 2

There was no way that was Katherine. He said he saw them take her away. The humans killed her long ago. There was no way that was her. It looked just like her. I reached for Stefan who had his back turned. I tried once and didn't come close, I wanted to look. If it was Katherine, she would be gone before Stefan could look. Though Damon had his eyes locked on her, I knew as soon as I told our brother she'd be gone. As always he'd get upset, he didn't like talking about her, or so says Damon.

"Stefan!" I said not looking away. I felt him turn, he caught my eyes and followed them. I could feel him tence up.

"Katherine? That's impossible! How did she live?" He took a step closer. The wind blew and I could smell her. It didn't smell like the lady who changed me. Though time could change sent. Could it change how someone smells? I wasn't sure if it could or not. Damon must have smelt it too because he looked away. Stefan and I saw it so we both looked away.

"It's not her, is it?" I asked him as we got into the car.

"No, it doesn't smell like her."

"Can time change that?"

"No, time doesn't change how someone smells."

"Okay brother..." I looked out the window at a girl who I believed was Katherine. I couldn't believe how much that girl looked like her.

"She goes to our school; I'm sure we will have classes with her. If we do, you can NOT bring up Katherine...understand?" Stefan said looking at me.

"I will not bring it up!" I said looking down at my hands. I was hungry again, so when we got home Damon and I ran off to find food. Stefan always ate him own food, Damon said we wouldn't like it. We sat though the night together. I grabbed a book and begain to read, like so many other nights. This book was new, I hadn't yet to read it. I hadn't even seen it, though I was kept inside most of the time. My 'parents' always brought me books to read at night. This place had books I could read every night. I looked up to see what my brothers were doing. Damon laied on the couch watching tv and drinking. Stefan was looking over this small worn out book. I believe it was his diary, he looked up to meet my stair.

"Yes?"

"Oh nothing..." I looked away, how rude of me.

"I keep a journal of what my life is like so I can look over it later. Till there are gaps..."

"Gaps?"

"When I feed on human blood, I go crazy, a franzy more or less. I can't control myself, so I can't write anything. I know when I've been in them and how long I have."

"When was your last?"

"25 years ago, I killed a small village of people. Old, young; it didn't matter to me. If it had blood I was drinking it. Everytime I'm stopped before anyone knows anything. I think Damon has something to do with that." He said as we both looked at Damon.

"Just read...you have school in a few hours." Damon said. I looked down and sighed. I hated always going back to highschool. Everything was the same, I was put into advanced placement (AP) classes. I think Stefan played stupid so he didn't draw attation to himself. I started to read again, it wasn't long before I finished the book. Damon looked at the clock and said we had to get ready. Here we go, time for school. It has been a long time before I was put into 'normal' classes. I looked at Stefan as we walked out of the house.

"Have fun kids, be nice to the other kids. Don't kick the other kids butts, unless the other kids start it..." Damon trailed off when he knew we weren't listening.

"Wow, is he always like this?"

"No, now he has a little sister to look after too."

"Are you always like this?"

"Yes, I don't care, you can take care of yourself."

"Stef look it's that girl again!" I said just as she came running into us. I fell backwards into a bush.

"Oh my fault!" she said, "I'm Elena."

"You aren't kidding..." I mubbled, "I'm Lilly, this is my brother Stefan."

"Oh well hello, that's my brother Jeremy."

"Hey." He said looking at me with a smile, "Need help?" He said extending his hand.

"
