Beacon Hills.
''Tell me where Scott McCall is!''
With lacrosse practice having long ended before, the changing room was a tranquil place, suitable enough for one person to deeply contemplate the events that have happened in the past few months. However, that person's thinkful state was shortly disrupted by a forceful hand suddenly taking him by the shirt and slamming his body against the lockers.
"What the-who the hell are you?" The jock genuinely shouted out of fear due to the stranger's firm and dangerous hold on him.
''It doesn't matter who I am. Now answer this question…..Jackson? Where is Scott McCall right now?'' The unknown person dangerously asked.
''How the hell should I know? Scott McCall is a freak of nature!''
'The person once again squeezed his hold on the shirt and again slammed the jock against the hard lockers.
''I won't ask again. Where is Scott McCall?''
''Who the hell are you? Are you the one giving him all the juice? I knew that freak playing lacrosse was too good to be true!''
With his current method leading to nowhere, the person spontanously changed his approach. With a quick fast move he grasped the boy's neck.
''Look, I'm losing my patience here. Where is Scott McCall?'' The stranger's grip on the jock's neck became stronger by the minute, slowly making his breathing harder.
''M-M-Mystic Fallls I-I think it was. I-I swear that's what I-I k-know!'' Jackson chocked upon his words trying to gasp for air.
The unknown person instantly released his hold on the victim. ''Thank you,'' the stranger said, exiting the room and leaving Jackson wheezing on the floor.
Mystic Falls High.
''And like that boy…Stilles? Really what kind of name is Stilles? Anyway, he was totally flirting with me.'' Caroline continued narrating her day.
Elena unwillingly chuckled. Good old Caroline. Despite what has happened to her in the past few months, she still hadn't changed at all. Vampire or not.
''How is this funny to you?'' Caroline asked baffled by her friend's earlier reaction. What was so funny?
''Nothing. Keep going.'' Elena smiled.
''And when I turned he- Damon what the hell are you doing here?'' Caroline frowned to the man coming towards them.
Elena's mind suddenly focused on the older Salvatore brother.
''Damon.'' She gasped. Why was he here?
''Hello to you too Elena,'' he grinned, taking off his sunglases, ''Blondie,'' he gave a small nod to Caroline, as a sign of politeness rather than a genuine interest in seeing her there.
''What are you doing here?'' Elena suspiciously asked. Damon being there was not a good sign. Usually, bad things tended to happen when Damon was present.
''Nothing. Just checking if you're okay,'' he again displayed his famous grin, however this time with an air of concern behind it.
Elena almost blushed. She quickly composed herself and give him a short, serious reply, ''Well I'm okay. So you can go now.''
Damon pretended to look hurt by her statement.
''Hello? I'm here!'' Caroline interjected, clearly offended by them ignoring her presence.
Damon just simply ignored her. ''See ya, Elena,'' he gave off a dazzling white smile, leaving the two girls standing confused.
''What is his problem?'' Caroline again frowned. ''Okay, as I was telling you, when I turned he-'' Caroline continued babbling about the so-called Stilles.
''Hey Elena!'' The voice of a boy came from the distance. Turning around, she identified the boy running towards her direction. It was Scott McCall.
Elena smiled. At least one person was normal in her life.
