My Savior: Welcome to Mystic Falls
I do not own The Vampire Diaries in any way.
Dear journal,
We're back in Mystic Falls. I never thought we'd return after what went down with Katherine. I know we came back, because Stefan saved that girl. She looks like Katherine. This doppelganger is going to cause problems, especially if Damon comes back. Speaking of doppelgangers, I miss him. I miss the way he used to hold me, like I would break, even though we were both vampires. I know he's out there…but is he searching for me? Will he return for me someday?
I heard a knock. I looked up and saw Stefan standing there. "Hey", I said.
"Hey", he said, "Ready for school?"
"I guess", I said.
"Then get ready", he said, leaving.
I threw my journal in my backpack and got ready for school. I threw my hair up in a messy bun, leaving my neck bare. I knew how much he loved it when my neck was exposed.
When we were together, I wasn't allowed to wear chunky necklaces.
He only let me where one thing around my neck.
A small moonstone pendant with a thin chain.
I threw on my converse and headed downstairs.
Stefan handed me a mug of coffee.
I smiled and took it from him. "Thanks", I said.
"Anything for Emilia", he said.
We got in his car and drove to the high school.
The whole time I fiddled with the necklace.
"You know, you never told me who gave it to you", Stefan said.
"And you don't need to know", I told him, "Let's just say someone who loves me gave it to me".
"Who? Damon?" he joked.
"No!" I snapped, "A boy".
"Did it happen during the several years Damon and I had no idea where you were?" he asked.
"You could have easily found me", I told him, "I don't want to talk about it Stefan".
"Sis, you're gonna have to tell us eventually", he said.
"And I will…when the time is right", I told him.
"Look, it's our first day. Let's not fight anymore", he said.
We pulled up to the school.
I immediately smelled the blood. I pulled a blood bag out of my backpack and quickly downed it like it was a Capri-Sun.
"You better now?" Stefan asked.
I only nodded.
Stefan got out and came over to my side of the car. He helped me out and put my sunglasses on. "Just hold on to me, okay?" he asked, "You'll get thru this".
I grabbed onto his arm and tried to keep up with him.
It was going to be a long day.
I could tell.
Everyone stared at us as we entered the school building.
After we got our schedules, Stefan walked me to my first class. "You gonna be okay?" he asked.
I nodded. I grabbed onto the pendant and walked into the classroom.
Stefan stood at the doorway until I sat down.
After school, I went home.
"Hey, you hungry?" Zach asked.
"Why? Are you offering?" I asked.
He just looked at me.
"I'm kidding Zach", I said, "Um…a grilled chicken sandwich would be good".
I may be a vampire, but I tried to eat healthy. I snuck into the basement and grabbed a blood bag. I poured it into a glass and went to my room. I pulled out my journal.
Dear journal,
Is it bad to think that any day now he's going to come back? I know he said he would, but the question is when. I know he's working on things, but I missed the days where we would lie awake and just talk. I just wish he would write to me or call. If I could hear his voice one more time, I would die happy.
"Writing again?" Stefan asked.
I saw him holding my sandwich and his own journal. "I could ask you the same thing", I said.
He handed me my sandwich and I took a bite of it.
"God that's good", I said. I ripped it in half and handed the other part to Stefan.
"Will you ever tell me who gave you that necklace?" he asked.
"Not until he returns to me", I said.
"Oh, I just remembered, I need to return Elena's journal. She dropped it in the cemetery", he said.
"Journaling in a cemetery? Even I'm not that weird", I said.
*Stefan's Pov*
I returned Elena's journal and she asked me to go with her to the Mystic Grill.
When we got there Elena started asking me questions.
"So, who's that girl?" Elena asked.
"Oh, that's Emilia. My sister", I told her, "She's shy. You can usually find her writing in her journal".
"She keeps a journal too?" Elena asked.
"I think you can blame me for that", I joked, "I gave her one when we were younger and she's kept it ever since".
"Do you think she'd like to come to the back to school party?" Caroline asked.
"No. She's not a party girl", I said, "She'd rather stay in her room and mope".
"Mope? What happened?" Elena asked.
"Apparently, she had a fling with guy and he left her. She's convinced that he'll come back someday. She's just not the same", I told her.
"Sometimes all it takes is time", Elena said.
*Emilia's Pov*
The night of the party had come.
"Are you sure you'll be okay alone?" Stefan asked.
"Stefan. I'm 16. I can take care of myself", I told him.
"If you need anything, just call", Stefan said.
I spent the night doing homework and writing in my journal.
Stefan came barging in.
I was lying on his bed, because it was more comfortable.
A crow flew in and I prepped myself for the confrontation that was coming.
"Hello brother", Damon said, "Hello little sister".
"I'm getting out of here, before I get dragged in", I told them. I walked up to Damon and hugged him. "I strangely happy you're back", I said. I left the room. I wasn't one to get caught up in my brothers' drama.
*Stefan's Pov*
Before heading to Elena's house, I checked on Emilia.
She had fallen asleep with her journal on her chest.
I picked it up and closed it, setting it on her desk. I smoothed her hair back and kissed her forehead, whispering, "Goodnight Emilia".
