''Hey welcome to the Mystic Grill would you like a table? says Waiter
''Yes please says Gabrielle

''Caroline says Bonnie
''I'm sorry what did I say? says Caroline
''It's alright To answer your question William and Lily Dubrinsky was my parents...[Caroline eyes widen in realization and closes her eyes in remorse] ''They were in a terrible car crash when we were moving here...I survived but they didn't and neither did the couple that ran into them...

''This was an animal attack says Stefan
''Don't give me that. I know the game. You tear them up enough, they always suspect an animal attack. You said you had it under control says Zach
''And I do says Stefan
''Please, Uncle Stefan. Mystic Falls is a different place now. It's been quiet for years, but there are people who still remember. And you being here, it's just going to stir things up. says Zach
''It's not my intention says Stefan

''Um...A Lot? I'm not sure. Like a whole lot says Bonnie
''Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Ms Bennett. Mr. Donovan...[Matt looks up at Mr. Tanner] Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype? says Tanner

''Hmmm...Elena? Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significantly historical events? Says Tanner
''I'm Sorry, I-I don't know says Elena

''Hmm...Very good. Except, of course there were no civilian casuality in this battle. says Tanner
''Actually, there were 27, sir. Confederate soldiers, they fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons. They were wrong. it was a night of great loss. The Founder's archives are, uh, stored in civil hall if you'd like to brush up on your facts. Mr. Tanner says Stefan
''Hmm says Tanner
[Everybody was impressed with Stefan and Gabrielle as they whisper among themselves as Mr. Tanner sighs returning to his teaching.]
[The Woods]
[Gabrielle arrives at the party and stops near some trees when she begins to feel nerves and literally can feel uncomfortable as she can feel everyone's emotions. She closes her eyes breathing in and out then she walks towards where a huge fire pit that was burning with fire seeing a cooler grabs a can of Cola opening it to drink it. She turns and sees Caroline who smiles seeing her.]
''Oh My god you made it says Caroline
''Well I said I would and so Here I am says Gabrielle
''Great...[She looks at the can of Cola in Gabrielle's hand] ''Do you not like to drink beer? says Caroline
''No I don't drink...My Grams used to when I was little...I decided I don't want to. says Gabrielle
''Well I am getting a beer...[She opens the cooler and pulls out a beer bottle and opens the cap then drinks it.] ''Hmm great...So how do you like Mystic Falls so far...says Caroline
''It's different...before I knew about Mystic Falls and My family living here...I used to live in Charlotte... My Mom had a business designing clothes. says Gabrielle
''Really your mom was a clothes designer says Caroline
''Yes...[She takes her Jacket off which was a Blue Jean Jacket pulling the tag on the back showing her mom's name on the tag.]
''My Mom's Logo is Lily's boutique. says Gabrielle
''Wow...Cool this jacket was made by your Mom says Caroline
''Yes. Basically all my clothes were made from her. [She pulls a necklace out of her shirt it was the blue diamond with a silver setting it had vines around it.] ''She made me this when I was 10 years old...I never go anywhere without it. says Gabrielle
''[Caroline smiles touching it then sees how it still a sore subject to talk about.] ''I am really sorry about your parents...says Caroline
''Me too...[Gabrielle smiles wipes a stray tear from her cheek and smiles] '' I still have memories and love for them in my heart all the things they taught me...I will try my best to get through the hard times...I got to says Gabrielle
''Yeah...If you ever need any help with anything with school or anything...I want you to call me or text me...Here let me see your phone I will give you my number and you can give me yours says Caroline
''Okay...says Gabrielle
[She takes out her Phone and hands it to Caroline and waits as she puts her number in there then she gives Caroline her number.]
''Okay now we can call each other...we can hang out sometimes too. says Caroline
''I'd would love that Caroline says Gabrielle
[She smiles feeling relieved that she has made a new friend and that maybe moving to Mystic Falls isn't so bad now.]
''Well I'm going to go hangout with people so You can hang around here if you want. says Caroline
''Okay. says Gabrielle
[Caroline walks away as Gabrielle turns back to look out into the night at where the Water falls is when she sees a man standing near the edge of the woods staring at her with such silver blue eyes and she shivers with it as she feels the cold coming from him. She blinks and then finds that he is gone. Elena and Bonnie walk over to Gabrielle seeing how she was still looking everywhere]
''What's wrong? says Elena
''Nothing I thought I saw someone but I guess it's just nothing...Hey you guys came says Gabrielle
''Yeah we did...[Bonnie looks around for Stefan]'' So Where is he? says Bonnie
''I don't know. You tell me, you're the Psychic One. says Elena
''Psychic says Gabrielle
''Bonnie can somehow see and predict things like a Psychic would...says Elena
''Really interesting says Gabrielle
''Right, I forgot. Okay, so give me a sec. Grams says I have to concentrate. says Bonnie
''Wait, you need a crystal ball. says Elena
[She looks around and picks up a bottle. Bonnie takes it and touches Elena's hand. Bonnie spaces out for a while, comes back to her senses, and abruptly pulls her hand back.]
''What? says Gabrielle
''That was weird. [She looks at Gabrielle then at Elena] ''When I touched her, I saw a crow. says Bonnie
''What? Elena
''A Crow. There was a fog, a man. I'm drunk. it's the drinking. There's nothing Psychic about it. Yeah? Ok, I'm gonna get a refill says Bonnie
''Okay? Bonnie! says Elena
[Gabrielle watches Bonnie leave as she looks at Elena who shrugs her shoulders then turn to find Stefan standing in front of them. She freezes in shock.]
''Hi. says Stefan
''Hi. says Elena
''I did it again, Didn't I? says Stefan
''Yeah. says Elena
''I'm sorry. Are you upset about something? says Stefan
''Oh, uh, no, it's-just Bonnie. She's...you know what? Never mind. You're here. says Elena
''I'm here. says Stefan
[Gabrielle smiles on how they like each other and that she feels like she is in the way as Stefan turns to her.]
''Hey Stefan...Um I will leave you two alone...I will just go over by the falls...says Gabrielle
''Okay...says Elena
[She smiles a little then walks away. She manages to walk around some people that were standing around the bridge and she slowly walks across to the walk way to the falls. She sighs sitting down on a huge rock she puts her hands in the pocket of her jean jacket and pulls out her wallet which had her Parents picture in it and she traces there faces talking to Caroline about them was a little hard without breaking down. She hears a trig snap and she turns her head beside her to see the guy that she saw eariler and sighs.]
''Hey...wow you sure know how to sneak on people says Gabrielle
''I'm sorry that I scared you says Guy
''It's okay. Says Gabrielle
''[He smiles looking her over then sits down next to her on another rock.]
''The Falls are sure beautiful at night aren't they? says Guy
''Yes they are...says Gabrielle
''So you don't like parties I see says Guy
''No...Ever since I was a small child I have never been comfortable around crowds of people. [He looks at her in concern seeing how purple her eyes are as she speaks.] ''Loud noises I just like the quiet sometimes. says Gabrielle
[He smiles a little then puts his hand out for her to shake] ''I'm Damon Salvatore...What's your name? says Damon
''Gabrielle Dubrinsky! Wait Damon Salvatore...are you related to Stefan Salvatore? says Gabrielle
''He's my little brother...I just got into town yesterday. My brother doesn't know I'm here...Dubrinsky...Are you related to Original Dubrinsky? says Damon
''I had a Great Great Grand Father who originally came to Mystic Falls My Grams told me the story of him when I was little that we have Aristocracy in our line.[Damon was surprised as he looks her over again] ''I don't know all of our history my parents and my grams passed away before they can tell me more. Says Gabrielle
''I'm sorry about you losing your family...[Damon listens to Stefan who is coming up the bridge with Elena and decided to cut things short] ''It is really nice to meet you Gabrielle hopefully since you will be living here we can talk some more but I got to go so I will see you later says Damon
[He takes her hand and kisses it then walks back the way he came which was cutting through the woods. Gabrielle looks at her hand where she felt the same coldness in his hands that she felt from Stefan's hand wondering what was it about both of them that was different.]

[Bridge by the Party]
[Stefan and Elena are talking at the bridge]
''I like Bonnie, she seems like a good friend says Stefan
''Best friend in the world says Elena
[They can see Caroline, Bonnie, Matt and Gabrielle standing across from the bridge. Gabrielle says something to Caroline who nods then turns back to talk to Bonnie. Matt keeps staring at Elena and Stefan.]
''And Matt, he can't seem to, uh, take his eyes off of us says Stefan
''Matt's that friend since childhood that you start dating because you owe it yourselves to see if you can be more. says Elena

[He leaves]
[Woods Near The Party]
[Vicki is walking alone in the woods after she left Jeremy. Around her Fog descends around her as she continues to walk around, then behind her a Man comes out of the Fog behind her. She turns around to see he wasn't there.]
''Jeremy? Is that you?...[She turns around and continues to look around but doesn't see Jeremy...Then feeling like there was something behind her she turns back around when she is suddenly grabbed then a sharp pain in her neck as she was attacked.]
[At The Party]
[Gabrielle gasps when she suddenly gets a vision in her head of Vicki the waitress that works at the Grill that she met last night was suddenly attacked something was biting her neck and then the shadow drops her on the ground...She hears yelling coming from the woods...She snaps out of her trance and sees Elena and Jeremy carrying Vicki over to some tables.]
''Somebody help! says Elena
''Vicki? Vicki, what the hell? says Matt
''What happened to her? says Tyler
''Somebody, call an ambulance! says Matt
''Everybody back up, give her some space! says Tyler
[Gabrielle moves through the crowd grabbing her bag looking through it for some wipes she moves people out of the way.]
''Here...Press this to her wound...it should stop the bleeding long enough for the Ambulance to get here...says Gabrielle
''It's her neck. Something bit her. She's losing a lot of blood and it's bad says Elena
[Elena looks at her seeing how pale she is and that she was slowly applying the wipes to Vicki's wound. She was not able to see what Gabrielle was really doing as a small little light was coming from her hand making it where the wound was healing a little bit.]
[Salvatore Boarding House]
[Stefan runs through the front yard and into the house seeing Zach sitting at his desk]
''What's going on? says Zach
''Someone else was attacked tonight, Zach, and it wasn't me. [He runs up the steps and into his bedroom. A Crow flies through his window and balcony then he turns to see a Man standing there.] ''Damon. says Stefan
''[He smiles] ''Hello brother. says Damon
''Crow's a bit much, don't you think? says Stefan
''Wait till you see what I can do with the fog. says Damon
''When'd you get here? says Stefan
''Well, I couldn't miss your first day of school. Your hair's different. I like it. says Damon
''It's been 15 years Damon says Stefan
''Thank god. I couldn't take another day of the Nineties. That horrible grunge look? Did not suit you. Remember, Stefan. it's important to stay away from fads. says Damon
''Why are you here? says Stefan
''I miss my little brother says Damon
''You hate small towns. It's boring. There's nothing for you to do says Stefan
''I've managed to keep myself busy. says Damon
''You know, you left that girl alive tonight. That's very clumsy of you says Stefan
''Ah. That can be a problem...for you says Damon
''Why are you here now? says Stefan
''I could ask you the same question. However, I'm fairly certain your answer can be summed up all into one little word...Elena. [He smiles] ''She took my breath away. Elena. She's a dead ringer for Katherine. Is it working, Stefan? being around her, being in her world? Does it make you feel alive? says Damon
''She's not Katherine. says Stefan
''Well, let's not hope not. We both know how that ended. Tell me something, when's the last time you had something stronger than a squirrel? says Damon
''I know what you're doing, Damon. It's not gonna work. says Stefan
''Yeah? Come on. Don't you crave a little? says Damon
[Damon starts hitting Stefan in the head and pushing him.] ''Stop it. says Stefan
''Let's do it. Together. I saw a couple girls out there. Or just, let's just cut to the chase...that Dubrinsky girl...yes she looks really tasty let's go straight for her says Damon
''Stop it says Stefan
''[Stefan's face transforms] ''I can. says Damon
''I said stop! says Stefan
[Stefan runs into Damon, throwing him out of the windows. When he lands on the pavement, Damon isn't there.]
''I was impressed. I give it a six. Missing style, but I was pleasantly surprised. Very good with the whole face...thing. Roarrr...it was good says Damon
''You know, it's all fun and games, Damon, huh? But wherever you go, people die. says Stefan
''That's a given says Damon
''Not here. I won't allow it says Stefan
''I take that as an invitation says Damon
''Damon, please. After all these years, can't we just give it a rest? says Stefan
''I promised you an eternity of misery, so I'm just keeping my word. says Damon
''Just stay away from Elena and Gabrielle says Stefan
''Where's your ring? Oh, yeah. sun's coming up in a couple of hours, and, poof, ashes to ashes. [Stefan looks worried as he looks at Damon know that he has his ring.] ''Relax. it's right here [Damon waits as Stefan takes back his ring then his face turns to his vampire face then grabs Stefan by the throat and throws him against the garage.] ''You should know better than to think you're stronger than me. You lost that fight when you stopped feeding on people. I wouldn't try it again. I think we woke Zach up. [Damon walks towards the house whistling.] ''Sorry Zach says Damon
[Gabrielle's Apartment]
[Gabrielle opens the bathroom door after taking a shower she has a towel around her head and body as she takes her underwear from her dresser and puts them on and then putting long t-shirt and shorts on and then takes the towel off her head then combs through her long hair when she hears a knock at her door. She looks at the time on her phone then unlocks the door and opens it to find Damon Salvatore at her door.]
''You are Damon says Gabrielle
''Yes it's me...I've been worried about you since what happened with that girl in the woods and wanted to make sure you were alright. says Damon
''Um yeah I am...thank you for worrying about me...I didn't know anyone knew what apartment building I lived in. says Gabrielle
''Well I asked around to the people that knew you and just wanted to check up on you...[He looks her over and smiling with interest then he turns around to leave.] ''Well know that I see that you are alright I will say goodnight and I will see you around. says Damon
''Thank you Damon Goodnight says Gabrielle
[She shuts the door after he leaves and then sighs against the door felt like she was out of breath just feeling the emotions coming off him and then finally decides to just go to bed and think about everything in the morning.]
