1853- November 1st

"Stef!"

Willa ran into Stefan's arms as soon as she saw him.

She almost tripped as she got out of the carriage but she managed to survive.

"Happy day of birth Stef! I got you a present!" Willa exclaims as she smiled brightly at the green eyed boy.

The young boy was neatly dressed as he was getting ready to spend his day of birth at a dinner with the Gilberts tonight.

"Hello Willa"

The young girl pulled back and saw Damon walking down the stairs of his home, smiling at the young girl.

Willa's heart fluttered as she shyly looked at the dirt driveway.

'He looks so good' Willa thought with a giggle.

"Hello there Damon," Willa mumbles as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Let's go Willa and Stefan." Damon said as he took Willa's hand in his and lead her back to the carriage.

Her brother, William, rolled his eyes, only six years old, at the ripe age of twelve, could tell that his sister had a crush on the fourteen year old, and he found it annoying.

His sister was too clingy with Damon, and Damon's too nice to push her aside.

Or so William thought.


It has only been a day since Vicki death and Willow found herself sitting in the sheriff's office, answering questions on Vicki's disappearance.

"Where did Vicki say she was going?" Liz asked and Willow shrugged.

"She didn't say where she was going. So I have no clue."

"Did she tell her brother where she was going?"

"If she didn't tell me, then I wouldn't know if she told Matt.

"So you had Stefan Salvatore go talk to Vicki?"

Willow nodded her head, tired and wanting to leave this office, "Vicki was a troubled girl and I was afraid that she'll get my brother to try new types of drugs. So Stefan, being my sister's boyfriend, we asked him for his help. I just wanted to help my brother."

"Any signs of aggression or violence?"

Willow pouts her lips and shook her head, "No."

"So you believe Vicki really has left town?"

Willow nodded her head, "I believe she left."

A few minutes later, Willow exits the office to meet up with her siblings and aunt.

"Are you ready?"

Willow nodded her head and soon enough, they were walking out of the station.

Willow saw Stefan on the street below and new it wasn't the right time to wish him a happy birthday.

"I'll meet you guys at the car."

Jenna nodded her head and Willow left with her aunt and Jeremy, leaving Elena behind to speak to Stefan.


Later that evening, Willow, Elena and Jenna were resting on the couch, just talking about anything and everything when Willow started to text Stefan.

Willow: Hey! Happy early birthday! Stef!

A few minutes later, her phone vibrated.

Stefan: Hey, this is Lexi, a friend of Stefan's. He told me about you Willow, nice to meet you. Stefan's out catching some dinner.

Willow: Nice to meet you Lexi. How do you know Stefan?

Stefan: About 1864, October I believe.

Willow: You're a vampire!

Stefan: Yup.

Stefan: Hey, I'm dragging Stefan to the bar tomorrow, would you like to join us.

Willow: I would love to.

"Who are you texting?" Aunt Jenna asks as she looks at her niece.

Willow looks up from her phone, "Just a friend." She admits as she locks her phone.

"Can you keep it down over there?"

"Why, what'cha doing over there?"

"Homework."

Willow knits her eyebrows, and all three of them sat up and looked over to where Jeremy was sitting.

"Since when do you do homework?"

"I gotta finish this. I'm way behind and I have a quiz tomorrow so..."

Willow, Elena and Jenna share surprised glances.

"What do you think?" Elena asks the both of them.

Willow raises a brow and asks "Alien?"

"Some sort of replicant." Guessed Jenna.

Jeremy sighed, "He can hear you."

'What did Damon do.' Willow thought as she kept eyeing Jeremy.


Willow enters the Grill the following night, seeing how crowed the place was.

Today was a crazy day.

Firstly Willow discovered that Bonnie is a witch because she did something with feathers.

Elena and Willow were impressed, but Willow slightly knew there were more then met the eye with Bonnie.

Especially because she was related to Emily Bennett.

"How the hell?" Willow looks up as she nears the bar and saw a blonde haired woman looking at her with a look of shock on her face, "You look just like her." the woman breathed and Willow raises a brow, "Just like Willa?"

The blonde nodded and smiled, "You must be Willow, I'm Lexi."

The human and vampire shook hands, "It's nice to meet you" They both smiled at one another and Willow raises a brow, "I guess Stefan told you about me."

Lexi nodded her head, "He told me about you and Elena, how you were reborn with memories, and that you we're Willa, the girl he couldn't stop talking about and comparing me too when we were together."

Willow felt herself blush a deep shade of red as she wince, "Sorry about that."

Lexi waves her off, "It's fine, you were his first best friend, I get it. So..." Lexi links their arms together and led them to the bar. "how cute was Stefan as a young boy." and that caused Willow to burst out into fits of laughter.


Willa sat next to Damon as Stefan sat down on the other side at the dinner table at the restaurant later that evening.

Willa tried to keep her heartbeat down as Damon places a hand on her shaking leg, "Willa, are you okay?"

The young girl just nodded her head, pursing her lip together as she gave him a sideway look, "I'm okay." and yet, Damon still didn't remove his hand from her knee, just kept it there, stroking.

"So son, how does it feel to be an year older." Stefan's father, Giuseppe, asked to his son as he cut some of his meat.

"I am enjoying being a year older father, Willa had given me a perfect present, Jane Eyre, I'm honestly can't wait to start reading it," Stefan looks towards Willa and smiled, "Thank you Willa."

Willa nodded her head, a smile resting on her face, "You're welcome Stef. Anything for you."

Damon grip on Willow's knee grew harder and Willow gasp in shock.

"Willa dear, are you alright?" Willa's mother asks with concern and Willa abruptly looked away from Damon's profile and towards her mother.

"Yes mother, sorry about that." Willa apologised as she licks her lip.

'What is Damon doing?' Willa thought as she tries to keep her breath calm as Damon began to stroke her knee once again.


Willow cheers for Stefan as the man knocked some of the billiard balls into the pockets.

Lexi and Stefan shared a high five and Willow just laughs as she watches them.

"So...Willow here tells me that you were so adorable when you were a child." Lexi laughs as she shares a smile with Willow.

Willow sighs longly, "Stefan was such a cute little boy, had these bright forest green eyes and soft dirty blonde hair. So cute. You should have seen after we kissed. He fainted and rolled down the hill we were sitting on. He landed in a puddle of mud. It was hilarious." Willow see's Stefan rolling his eyes, and Lexi bursting out into laughter.

" .God." Lexi clutches her stomach as Stefan punches both Willow and Lexi in the shoulder.

"It wasn't that funny." claimed Stefan who rolled his eyes once more.

Willow shrugged, "It was pretty funny." Willow giggles as she smiles at Stefan, not noticing a pair of eyes on her from across the bar.


Willow was enjoying Lexi's company as she returns from speaking to Elena.

Stefan had filled the human in what Lexi and Elena were speaking too.

"Awe Stefan." The human oohed as the vampire lightly blushed.

The blonde hair vampire returns with three empty shot glasses, "Yep, I drank yours, sorry." Lexi informs the two of them and yet Stefan just smiled at the blonde, "Thank you." Lexi understands why Willow was smiling and why Stefan was thanking her, she sighs and shook her head with a smile on her face, "You weren't supposed to be listening." but she saw the closed smile and sees his face, "I was feeling epic, whatever." Willow giggles as Lexi mumbles those words.

"Awe Lexi is such a softy." She giggles as Lexi shot the human a playful glare.


"Looks whose now best of friends."

Willow lets out an annoyed sighed at the voice that belongs to none other than Damon Salvatore.

Willow drowns a shot before licking her lip and wincing at the taste.

"What do you want Damon." Willow growls as she spares the blue eyed man a few glances.

"Just wanted to get something to drink, excuse me." Willow moves her body aside as Damon squeezes in between Lexi and Willow.

"All right, the shots are a bribe." Willow watches Lexi place two filled shots in front of Damon, "I need you to answer a question. What are you really doing in Mystic Falls?"

"Have you tried The Brittle. It wins award."

"Cut the crap Damon," Willow watches Damon drown one of the shots, " we all want to know." Willow adds and Damon sighs

"Okay, I have a diabolical master plan."

"What is it?" Lexi asks with a curious look on her face.

"If I told you it wouldn't be very diabolical, now would it?"

Willow sighed as she picks up the other shot and brought it to her mouth.

It felt like the world turned into slow motion,Willow's eyes looked up when she hears a gasp.

"What are you doing?!" Damon exclaimed in a whispery tone after Sheriff Forbes injected Lexi with vervain.

Willow's eyes widen in shock as she watches the sheriff turn to Damon "Thank you for the vervain; now if you'll excuse me."

Willow watches the sheriff and her deputies carry a loopy Lexi away.

She hops off the stool and saw Stefan pushing his way through the crowd.

"What did you do!" Willow exclaims as she pushed past Damon, making him stumble a bit to the side.

Damon watches the dark haired girl quickly chases after the police.

"I'm sorry Willow." The vampire whispers.


'No." Willow gaps as she saw the scene in front of her.

She was just started to love being friends with Lexi. Loved her personality and how friendly she was being to Willow.

But Willow was standing a few feet away from the now dead Lexi, who laid all greyed out on the ground, Damon standing over her, and Sheriff still pointing the gun.

Willow's heart dropped into her stomach as her eyes connected with Damon, who was still holding the stake he used to kill Lexi.

"Get her in the car quickly." Willow hears the sheriff speak to Damon, who nodded his head and agreed.

Willow backed up, trying her best to keep herself from crying.

'Damon just loves killing Stefan's best friends.' Willow thought before turning around and running away from the scene.

Not noticing the hurt that flashes in Damon's blue eyes.
