Soon I'll post maybe two Stelena one-shots; one based on the show and another on the books. Check me out on tumblr too: blog/stelena-forever-and-always

Chapter 8

"What do you mean you've been a teenager for 1000 years? Witches can never live that long."
"I'm a special witch Stefan. I'm a Guardian which is basically the same thing as a goddess."
"But, if you're a Guardian, why aren't you—" He pointed at the ceiling.

"Yeah, up there", she pointed at the ceiling; "Is the fascinatiocaelum or 'enchantment of heaven', but we like to call it the Celestial Court. The reason I'm not there is because I chose to live a normal but immortal life. I didn't really want to be a guardian like my sisters."
"Can you help me remember something?"
"Depends. What do you want to remember?"
"One night, I woke up in the woods with my girlfriend in my arms. She was almost completely drained of blood. I don't remember anything that happened earlier that night."
"I'm sorry but I can't help you with that. You see, the main 12 Guardians have their own specialties. Mine is the Guardian of nature. It's only us because we are all daughters of a powerful witch named Estelle."
"So do you know which one of your sisters can help me remember?"
"You loved this girl right?"
"More than anything".
"Then I think I know who can help you. Her name is Titiana. She's one of the 6 most powerful Guardians like me."
"What other powers do the most powerful 6 have?"
"While mine is nature, another is sun, another is moon, another is water, and another is witchcraft. But Titiana has the most important one of all."
"What's hers?"
"Hers is love."

Dear Diary,

I told Damon about the dream. He had a shocked look on his face when I told him about the leafy-green eyes. I wonder why. For the rest of the day he seemed distant. I have a feeling that he's keeping something from me; something that he never wants me to find out. I've got to find out what it is. But what if I don't really love Damon as much as I thought? He's always been my boyfriend. It's just that lately I've been feeling like a piece of me, my soul, belongs to someone else entirely. Someone who understands me, who cares about me, someone who wants to protect me from all harm the world offers. More importantly, someone who loves me dearer than life itself. And honestly I think I return those feelings.

"So do you know where Titiana is exactly", Stefan asked Talia.

"I'm not exactly sure where. She's not in the Celestial Court if that's what you were wondering".

"Why doesn't she stay in the Celestial Court?"

"She likes to stay on earth instead of having to keep going up and down and up and down."

"So can you tell me more about the Guardians?"

"There's not much you really need to know. Except for one thing. If you ever meet a girl named Haven, avoid her at all costs. No matter what."

"Why?"

"She's the Guardian of witchcraft; one of the main six Guardians. She may be a Guardian, but she went completely dark and evil. She's always trying to ruin Titiana's work."

Right after Elena had breakfast; she picked up her phone and dialed in Damon's number. Right after the first ring, he picked up.

"Hey are you okay Elena?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Is it okay if I just have a day for myself today?"

"It's alright. There are some things I need to do today anyway."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow Damon."

"See you tomorrow Elena."

With that said Elena hung up the phone and began to get dressed. Since she had a day entirely to herself, she would think long and hard about one thing that she couldn't remember. Whatever it was, she longed for it.

Damon soon entered The Big Apple. He really broke a lot of traffic laws to get there from Virginia in half a day. But with some simple influencing, he didn't get a single ticket from a police officer. Even better, not a scratch on his yellow Ferrari. He left without Elena knowing a thing. When she called him, she didn't even know he was on the highway. While walking through Times Square, he saw the one reason he drove all the way to New York City. Stefan.

Chapter 9

"Hello there little brother", Damon called out to Stefan.

"Damon what are you doing her", He asked angrily.

"I came to see St. Stefan."

"You're supposed to be with Elena."

"She wanted a day to herself. So what are you doing in NYC?"

"Looking for answers. How'd you know I was here?"

"I just figured it out, considering there's a very powerful witch here."

"Well she couldn't exactly help me."

"That sucks. Well I should probably tell you something about Elena."

"What is it? Is she okay?"

"She's fine, don't worry. Even though your influencing worked, she dreamed about you."

"What about?"

"She had to choose between you and me to see who would be with her. Don't worry; she didn't see your face."

"Then how do you know it's me?"

"She described emerald eyes that were even greener than a leaf in the summer."

"Who did she choose in the end?"

"You", Damon replied.

While Elena was looking at her old diary entry that talked about her dream, she felt something or someone watching her. Something inhuman. It must be Damon as a crow. But when she looked out her window, she saw her backyard, the oak tree in it, and a raven. She didn't see a single crow.

"She may not remember you little brother, but she still chose you."

"So what else are you doing in NYC", Stefan asked, quickly changing the subject away from Elena.

"Nothing. I'm probably just going back to Mystic Falls now."

"It was good seeing you brother."

"You too little brother. Mainly because this may be the last time we see each other in hundreds of years."

After leaving Times Square, Stefan went back to Talia's house. This time she was wearing a simple aqua blue tank top tucked inside a white, lacy skirt and silver sandals.

"Hello again Stefan."

"Hey Talia."

"Come in."

"You should know that each Guardian can change into a bird."

"Really? Can you name a few?"

"I can turn into a robin, Atlantica, the Guardian of water, can turn into a swan, and Amazonia, the Guardian of animals, can turn into a peacock, just to name a few."

"What about Titiana?"

"She can turn into a dove."

"Any I should avoid?"

"Haven. She can turn into a raven."

"Can't you do a locator spell to find Titiana?"

"No, because Guardians like to put wards around themselves to prevent anyone from tracking them down; even though we're Guardians, we like our privacy. But look in Paris, France, you might find her there."

"Why Paris?"

"Don't you get it? Paris is the city of love."

Dear Diary,

Lately, almost everywhere I go, there's a raven. I know weird right? Also, every night now, I've had that same dream. It's like it's trying to send me a message. Tomorrow, I'm just going to hang out at Damon's place. I hope I can just clear my mind of everything just for one day. All I ask for is one day.

"Hey Damon"

"Hey Elena, come on in. I'll be back."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm just going to get some blood bags really quick."

"Okay, just hurry back."

"Alright", he replied while she went up and kissed him.

When Damon left, Elena went to his room to wait for him. When she got upstairs, a door to a room she didn't remember about was slightly ajar. That's strange. He usually keeps all the doors shut except for his own. When she was going to close it, she saw the room inside. Out of curiosity, she stepped inside and saw a bed with two night tables next to it. On one of the dressers stood a silver picture frame with a photo in it. She picked the frame up to examine it. The photo was of her next to someone she never met before but looked oddly familiar. Next to it was a silver locket with some red on the designs. Just as she was about to open it, Damon walked in with an angry and panicked look in his midnight black eyes.

Uh oh, how's Damon going to react to finding Elena in Stefan's room? Will he try and compel her to forget or just let it be? Or will he tell her about Stefan? By the way, the picture is the one that Stefan has in his room on the show and the locket is the famous vervain necklace just to clarify. If I don't update later today I promise I'll update tomorrow.
