Author's Note: All I can say is...Hope you enjoy this chapter.

After the comfort session the rest of the morning went smoother, sort of.

She got showered and brushed her hair with quite a bit of focus put into the task. She wanted to block out the thoughts that would cause another round of what had happened when she came back after 'the incident'.

So she pushed everything out of her mind and moved on, she decided to put things on hold and not let this incident ruin her day; at least for the moment she wouldn't. You could even say she turned that special switch on and repressed things for now, she would play indifferent for now.

Elena sat on the handless chair in front of the vanity mirror as she gazed upon the contents of her jewelery box.

Music from her iPod touch pulsed through the dock's speakers. She hummed to herself softly as the music blared at a nice level of volume, she didn't need much with her great hearing.

Swiftly she plucked out a loose ribbon choker set with a stone that was a slightly opaque icy violet color and had the appearance of glass and crystal. Another piece of jewelery caught her eye and she set down the choker.

Elena held up a silver locket with ornate designs and a red ruby like stone set in the stone. She knew what was in it, that piece of herb that had protected her mind from any mental powers of intrusion or invasion you could say that she now possessed her self.

Vervain.

Her eyes clenched shut as her fingers gripped the soft sterling silver, with a sharp sigh she placed the necklace deep underneath the removable box in the jewelery box, it would be hidden well enough from her eyes.

Her eyes swept over the other contents in the jewelery box as her hands brushed against each piece. Elena's fingers halted their movement as she spotted one that caught her eye like the others before it.

Gold, mingling with fiery reds and soft golden oranges in the stone she held in the palm of her hand, it seemed as if parts of the sunset were captured in this stone.

Agate.

A black cord clasped together so that she could place it around her neck. Slowly she donned the necklace as she gazed upon her reflection in the mirror.

She fixed her previously drenched, now drying hair and looked down at the placement of the necklace. It hung gently, neatly and slightly just below her collar bone, against her creamy flesh. She paired it off with a light blue bracelet woven together with simple thick threads.

With a sigh her towel clad body walked over to the closet and she fished out a off the shoulder, long sleeved, sort of baby doll dress. The dress was a gray blue color dotted with tiny white daisies tiling across the landscape of the dress. She donned a simple brown almost cowboy-esque boots. A light brown cardigan completed her outfit.

She walked to the mirror and clipped her hair into a bun and then she sat at the foot of her bed while looking at the clock.

6:00am

Still early…

For one second she sat there legs dangling in mid air the pair of booted feet gently swung out of sync with the other.

After a minute an idea popped into her mind.

She got up and searched around her room.

After a minute she found what she had been looking for, the cover of a book dear to her.

The one thing that had knew all of her secrets.

In her hands she held her diary written with everything since she was a human, it was her old diary, she hadn't written in it since she had changed.

She had written four times in the many decades she had lived through as a vampire only on four sheets of paper, she had placed them inside before she had moved to ensure she didn't lose them.

Elena quickly switched to a blank page in fear of the words she had written in her human life. She didn't want to conjure up any bad memories, especially the incident from earlier.

She searched for an inky pen and wrote at the top in neat, small handwriting NEW LIFE.

After that she copied the entries from the four sheets of paper she then turned to a fresh new page. Quickly she scribbled the date and then proceeded into writing.

Dear Diary, I haven't written in here in awhile…the only times I have written to you were only for the briefest of moments for a summary of how thing's have been through the decades of my new life. Well here I am now writing in you again for the second time this decade. First thing's first…

All is well and not at the same time. I am back in Mystic Falls, yes my hometown and where I fled with you while I was human. As you know I'm still around my two bestfriends/brothers Asher Rowan and Zephyr Weylin.

They've been faring well in my hometown…I was reunited with Bonnie, Tyler, Matt and Caroline and I met their children. Also can you believe it? Jenna and Alaric had a son who is my history teacher…which I have to admit is…weird, his name is Aldair…though I just call him Al…I'm his older cousin, I must say it's once again a strange situation.

I also heard Jeremy's been on a trip with Anna…she turned him…I don't know what to say to that. Jenna knows…Alaric told her, in a way I'm relieved and yet I am worried for her well being from what I had been through as a human it isn't worth it all the time…your life changes because of that one piece of knowledge.

That part of my life is…great sort of, well certain aspects anyway.

One day I know all the people aging now will one day… I can't even say it let alone write it at the moment, it saddens me even further. This is not the worse thing right now since no one has passed yet…hopefully.

The thing that has inflicted new wounds and opened up old ones is back in Mystic falls, the main person…the main cause. His name is Damon Salvatore… remember him? I heard Stefan is back as well.

God…how am I too survive this, I know now that I will meet both at some point and they will meet me. Damon in a way met me last night…though I changed my appearance before I had gone to the place he had showed up at. I put in those contacts, the amethyst like ones, the same colour as Asher's irises, he didn't question me I think he knew beforehand with the incident in the forest and the vampire scent I picked up…I'm sure it belonged to a Salvatore, at the point I didn't even care which it belonged to.

I went this morning to the boarding house and…oh god I came face to face with a Salvatore, I can't even bring myself to say who, I didn't get a proper look anyways and whatever one I think saw me didn't really see me. I had been wearing a hoodie and the hood shadowed my face along with the natural shade of the night.

Now, all I know is that I may have something happen to day maybe a surprise meeting…I just have this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach, as if something is bound to happen.

I've been lucky dodging Stefan who knows maybe today I may not, I have the feeling today my luck is about to change.

Give me strength…

Elena

A knock sounded at her door and she swiftly hid her now capped pen and closed diary under the pillow nearest to her. She looked at the door and softly spoke. "Come in."

The door swung open.

Asher's expression unreadable as he ran his fingers through his mocha colored hair. He wore a ivory v-neck sweater, black jeans and the usual black boots. A thin cord of leather attached to a sterling silver shaped heart with a crown on top of it touched the material of the sweater.

She noticed the intricate tattoo coiled around a single finger, the tattoo was one of a golden yet darkened mocha tinted swirling lion, its eyes gleamed a exotic, ethereal, amethyst color much like Asher's own iris colour.

It coiled all around a single finger which was beside the finger the Lapis Lazuli ring resided on. Zephyr had an identical one in the shape of a ferocious looking wolf in midnight black ink, its eyes a jade tinted chrysoprase green.

She just noticed it now for some odd reason as he walked over to her and his ring glinted of some soft streak of lamp light invading the room. She knew it had been there for awhile but didn't think of it much, for some reason it stood out and looked exotically beautiful.

She even hadn't really thought of getting one since she hadn't before wanted to be poked and prodded with needles and ink bleeding into the thin flesh of her finger, their tattoos weren't just irregular because of the design though, they were rare and different than normal tattoos.

They didn't fade so easily or even if the skin there was damaged the tattoo appeared perfectly intact even after the skin grew back or any sort of regeneration similar to that.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Asher asked softly as he strode across the room and finally sat on her bed.

"Fine…? Are you?" Elena asked and Asher stared at her for a minute and then sighed, the sigh sounded like one of relief.

"I am great…tired actually…" She raised a single brow and poked his shoulder.

A grin formed on his lips. "You're the one who decided to follow me to the club. You're fault." Asher stuck his tongue out and pouted as he crossed his arms.

"Did not…" She raised her brow further.

"Oh really?" Her tone was questioning.

Asher sighed sounding exasperated. "Fine…I did." As soon as his eyes met hers a grin broke out on his face.

Asher's eyes went unfocused for a second and his smile softened. "Zeph, the party pooper has arrived, alert the media!." His words were sing songed. She smiled and shook her head at the term he labeled Zephyr with as Zephyr entered the room.

He himself was clad in another black button up shirt and black jeans making his jaded eyes stand out.

"Oh, I'm a party pooper am I? I don't think so…I think you're the one who needs a label, hmm…how about…hyperactive leech? Yep, sounds good to me." Asher's smile dropped and he turned towards Zephyr, she spotted the devilish twinkle in his eye.

Then the expression faded away "Oh really? I'm a leech?" Suddenly he pouted, his lip quivered and he gave Zephyr a sad puppy expression as if he found candy had become extinct or banned. Then he covered his face and he shook as if he was crying.

"You're sooo mean! You're always verbally abusing me! You're such a meanie calling me a leech…You're the god damn leech!" She saw Zephyr roll his eyes and sigh.

"Ha Ha, you're so funny Asher…Look I'm almost gonna cry from laughter, Ha. Ha!" Sarcasm was thick in his tone.

Suddenly Asher began to make raspy breathy sounds and as Elena listened closely she heard the beginnings of Asher's laughter. Then as if a dam had broke within him his laughter became more pronounced.

His hands dropped to his sides and the skin around his eyes crinkled in amusement as his eyes were clenched closed as he flopped upon her bed.

Elena gave Asher a strange look. "Uh…Zeph I think he's broken…"

"What else is new…I think his brain is broken, or he's finally fully lost it…screws lose in the brain sometimes, either that or nothing's in there. His brain fades from time to time...He's such a big kid…" Zephyr walked over and stood in front of Asher who had begun rolling around while laughter spilled from his lips and his body shook, tears were practically streaming out of his eyes.

Zephyr bent down and lifted Asher by an arm and dragged him out of the room, the laughter echoed down the hall and a door closing sounded.

Silence rang through out the area; she could swear she could still hear laughter still going on, it was either echoing in her head or was really still sounding in the other room. Shaking her head she laid down on her bed.

She laid on her side and listened to the music playing as she rested her eyes.

She was jolted awake by the feel of a breeze hitting her face. Something was prodding her head. Her eyes snapped open at the feel of the jabbing sensation in her side.

Laughter reached her ears and her brows furrowed as she her eyes met blue, sky dotted with pretty white clouds forming into shapes gradually. The sun was shining its usual brightness she averted her gaze instinctively as rays hit her eyes. The knowledge of staring into the sun's direct Ultraviolet Rays causing a burning in the back of your cornea which led ultimately blindness burned in her mind. Not that, that was a problem that area would just repair its self.

She groaned as more laughter reached her ears and her body jerked to the side as she felt the world shift. She lowered her head and stared straight ahead and was met with Asher in the passenger seat turned around, pools of Amethyst burning brightly merriness dancing in the depths of the twin gemstones. White teeth shining as he grinned.

"Hey there." He simply said merrily.

She looked to the side and saw the scenery moving and the car's interior surrounding her except for where windows were supposed to be since the BMW was a convertible.

"What the hell guys? What's going on…?" She leaned back and awaited an answer with closed eyes.

"Nothing you fell asleep we let you be, we entered your room to see you asleep so we grabbed your purse and your gym bag we saw in the chair, then we carried you to the car and started driving and KAPOW you're awake now." Asher flashed her a wider grin.

"Oh…well thanks what time is it?" She asked being cautious.

"We have 20 minutes until the bell rings." Elena nodded and opened her eyes.

Whistling reached her ears and she saw Asher's face turned to the side looking at the scenery blurring past him in clarity to his heightened sight. She saw his lips open and his teeth that were current touching were showing slightly.

A soft breezy tune left his lips, she knew he was whistling through his teeth again. It was one of those quirky talents Asher had.

After a couple of minutes the school building appeared and they swerved into the parking lot and cruised softly into a vacant spot. "15 minutes until the bell rings," They all hopped out of the car and grabbed what they needed from their lockers and met outside on the green lawn.

As they sat down Elena felt the bite of a chill in the air, signs of Fall were beginning to show slowly.

They talked amongst themselves but Elena spaced for awhile until her gut began to feel weird. Unease striked her and she swallowed trying to stop the unease from showing in her face. She turned as she saw a car, the instant her gaze landed on the tinted window's the panic created another spring, a new one just waiting to be sprung.

As the bell rang and they all got up she scolded herself.

No, He isn't here Elena…so calm down.

The thought didn't calm her down as she walked to History class and the uneasiness only increased. Her gut sent her warning signals.

When she entered the room she saw her cousin writing in neat text of some form of note, when they entered he turned slightly to acknowledge her, she weakly and forcefully smiled at him before getting to her seat and sitting down.

Her finger lightly tapped against the desk in nervousness and she out of the corner of her eyes saw both of the boy's give each other looks. Silently she opened her History binder full of paper and notes and what not, she began doodling aimlessly, desperate to take her mind off of things.

Her mind wasn't tuned into what she was drawing and her gaze flickered up to the entryway of the class as soon as the bell sounded for the second time. Slowly students piled in and it felt like her heart had started up again the annoying action of furiously racing.

Calm Elena.

I can't calm down!

Please just let this finish, is just keeping me waiting part of my punishment?

A scent drifted to her nose different to the ones she was use to mingling in the air of this class, then she heard the voice of who she assumed the scent belonged too. With her heightened hearing she tuned in more and Al seemed to be talking outside of the classroom for most of the part, until the owner's voice sounded and she closed her eyes.

Al's footsteps echoed into the classroom and her head tilted up to look at the doorway. A dark shadow fell upon the classroom; the figure it belonged to seemed to be slightly shadowed as well. Things slowed down as a single booted foot entered the classroom she assessed the mysterious stranger and spotted a Lapis Lazuli ring. She inaudibly to human's ears quietly exhaled.

The world shifted for a second as her fingers gripped her pen.
