Previously on Unsettling Change in Mystic Falls:

"Who ever we find, they must be willing to get into dark magic as well; I'm not sure many witches these days would want to get involved in this stuff." Flipping through the pages of the book, Elijah looked back up to his sister. "What was it you wanted so badly you felt the need to break down my door?"

"Elena Gilbert is alive."


"Good morning class." The following morning, Juliet walked happily into her classroom, a bright smile on her face. The students all gave Ms. Gambino their attention, all but Caroline. Since the last class, Caroline still hated the new history teacher for embarrassing her in front of her fellow peers. She hoped nothing would happen again that day. It still bothered her to know that her teacher was familiar with Vervain and vampires; how could she know? "I assume everyone did the homework assignment from last night?" Most of the students answered, which made Caroline cringe; she forgot. Just as she was going to ask to go to the restroom, a pile of papers flew on her desk. Looking over to Katherine, she raised a brow.

"Figured you wouldn't do it – call this a white flag," she whispered as Caroline looked through the papers, it was the homework.

"Thanks," Caroline whispered back.

"Now, today I'm going to take roll call, but when I call your name, I want you to bring up your homework – whether you have it or not." Juliet looked through her papers and pulled out her list of students. As she began to call names, Caroline looked over to Katherine. When looking over to her, it surprised her to see Katherine Pierce, a psychotic vampire, to be sitting in a classroom desk with homework in her hands. As Caroline's name was called, she stood and made her way to the teacher. "Wow Ms. Forbes, I'm surprised you've managed to complete the assignment. If you cooperate today, you can save the class from doing another one of these." Caroline bit her tongue from responding and simply smiled. Walking back to her seat, she caught the eye of Katherine who was smirking up at her. Letting a smile come out, Caroline shook her head and sat. "Gilbert, Elena." Katherine stood and approached the teacher. Placing the papers on Ms. Gambino's desk, Katherine flashed a smile to Juliet before sitting. Caroline watched as Juliet raised a brow at whom she thought was Elena – or did she know it was Katherine? Could that be a possibility? Could their new teacher be a vampire? It wouldn't surprise Caroline since there was something mystical about 'Mystic Falls'. After Katherine sat, Caroline looked to her.

"Do you know her?" Caroline asked, sounding offended.

"Why would you assume that?" she replied, rolling her eyes. Caroline was taken back by her question; was she really going to base her assumption on Juliet raising her brow? Caroline didn't answer; instead she sat back in her seat and listened to the new subject of the class.


It had been a while since Stefan had been alone in the same room with Elena. It wasn't because he didn't care – he loved her. It was the simple fact that she had chosen him when she thought he was going to do, but had called Damon. In his eyes, she didn't efficiently choose. He knew he would always be competing with his brother for Elena's affection; it seemed history was repeating itself. As he sat in his very own backyard, Stefan watched the horizon. It wasn't uncommon to catch him sitting underneath his tree, writing. Writing helped him with his thoughts; something that he learned decades ago. Another reason why he wrote was because he knew, eventually, he'd forget some of what he's been through; this was his way to remember.

"You know, your girlfriend misses you." Stefan didn't turn since he knew who it was. "She's been asking questions and complaining that you're not around." With a small smile, Stefan finally turned to find Elena not too far from him.

"Do me a favor and tell my beautiful girlfriend to stop complaining and come here." Stefan put down his journal and walked to Elena, wrapping his arms around her. "And tell her I miss her, too." Elena smiled as her head rested against his chest. With her arms across his waist, she looked up to him, placing a small kiss on his lips.

"What's on your mind?" she asked him, slightly raising a brow. Stefan shrugged as he looked down to her.

"What do you mean?" Elena rolled her eyes as she released him; escaping from his grasp.

"Don't play stupid with me Stefan, my senses are heightened now – plus I'm a girl. It's obvious when you're hiding something from me." Elena unraveled her arms from him and placed her hands on her hips. "Spill." Stefan couldn't help but smile at her. It surprised him that she had been taking her transformation a lot lighter than he originally thought. Running a hand through his hair, he knew Elena was being serious.

"Listen Elena, I don't want to ruin everything that's happened with my worries, so could we please let this go?" Stefan placed his hands on her face, looking down to her longingly. Just as he was about to place a kiss on her lips, Elena pulled away.

"You know Stefan I'm not the same girl I was when we first met. Too much has happened for me to continue to act like a naïve little girl. If there's something bothering you, you need to tell me. Especially if it has something to do with me 'cause, newsflash, you are stuck with me for eternity." Stefan nodded his head. She was right; if they were going to continue their relationship without problems, they needed to be open with each other. Looking to Elena, Stefan stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"I'm just a little concerned with how things are going to be now that you're alive," he started, truthfully. "I mean, I know that while you were driving to see me after you thought I was going to die, you called Damon. Technically you never chose, Elena. So I guess what I'm trying to say is – I'm worried for us." Elena watched Stefan unsure of what to say. It was true; she had given Damon a call on her way to see Stefan. Even now things were still very confusing for Elena but she knew who she wanted to be with. Stepping toward Stefan, Elena wrapped her arms around Stefan, assuring him of his worries. And as the two embraced, they hadn't noticed a hidden individual watching them closely.
