How to Save a Live
It was the 27th of October and Halloween week had started on Mystic Falls High School. Elena was excited to wear her new outfits this week. She was dressed like a vampire, the same as her two best friends Bonnie and Caroline. Once she arrived at school, she heard Caroline calling out to Bonnie in the distance. She was talking enthusiastically about the new mystery boy at school and how handsome he was. She called him mystery boy because he looked mysterious, and she didn't know his name. Elena was curious about what he looked like. Once in class they noticed the mysterious boy coming in their class. "Omg, no way! He's in our class!", said Caroline just a bit too loudly to her friends.
After the school day, Elena went to the grave of her parents who she lost last summer. They died in a car accident. Nobody knows how Elena had survived this. It was dark and froggy when she suddenly saw a raven. Not much later he was standing in front of her. "Nice to meet you Elena, I'm Damon.", he said as he held out his hand to her. Elena wondered how he knew her name. But when he came closer, she smelled something that she had never smelled since the death of her parents. It was the smell of vampire. And when she took a closer look at him, she knew. Dark black hair just like a raven, the "bad-guy" look and the ring he had on his finger. Damon Salvatore. Salvatore as in the evil vampire family her parents had warned her about. He was not allowed to know that she knew who he was, much less that she was a vampire too. She knew Damon couldn't know about her, because Bonnie (her witch best friend) had put a spell on her after the car crash. The spell could only be destroyed if Elena kissed her soulmate. So, Elena just introduced herself and acted like everything was normal.
Until Friday, 31th October. It was Halloween. Elena, meanwhile, had already told Bonnie that the mystery boy was Damon Salvatore. It was a Halloween party, organised by Caroline. Elena had gone to get a new drink when she suddenly bumped into someone. "Oh sorry, I hadn't seen you," Elena said. "No problem, I'm Stefan by the way." Stefan told her that he had recently gone to live with his uncle in Mystic falls. They had been talking all evening. Elena was surprised at first because Damon had been nowhere to be seen all evening. And when it was almost midnight, Stefan kissed her. Elena suddenly had a feeling she had never felt before. The spell had been broken. Stefan did not know what was happening. Suddenly, Damon appeared. "Oh, hello brother.", Damon said. Elena did not know what hit her. The spell had been broken, which meant that Stefan was her soulmate. But brother? Then she realised it all. Suddenly, 2 new mysterious boys appeared. But what she found so strange was that she didn't smell it in Stefan that he was a vampire. Damon was so angry he ran away. What Elena didn't know is that he liked her.
The next week Elena hadn't seen the two brothers. One evening, she decided to go to their house, because Caroline (who knows nothing about the whole vampire thing) had obviously been stalking Damon, which she does with every handsome boy she sees. When she rang the bell, no one answered. When she wanted to ring the bell a second time, someone suddenly put a hand in front of her mouth. It was Stefan. He quickly took her to the forest. There he told her that Damon wanted to kill her because he thought Elena was someone dangerous from earlier years. But he was going to explain this to her later. Stefan could not tell her who it was because then she would find out...
Stefan knew Bonnie too, of course. She was related to the Bennets, the famous witches. Bonnie said there was only one way to make sure Elena could stay alive. This was by having Stefan bond with her so that Elena belonged to the Salvators. If Damon then killed her, he would also kill himself. But to do that, she needed time and if she performed this spell, she might also kill herself. Therefore, Elena did not think it was a good idea. Stefan and Bonnie did, they decided Elena and Stefan should run away so Damon couldn't find them. Just to be sure, Bonnie had also created a spell to wipe out their scents.
Elena and Stefan had fled to Italy, his birthplace. This was a safe place for a while. In the end, this was not a good choice, since Damon is his brother and was therefore born there as well. It was not long before Damon found out where they were. So, Damon went to Italy to get Elena. Damon had kidnapped her at night and took her back to Mystic Falls. Bonnie got a vision, so she also knew about it. She used her powers to send a message to Stefan to let him know where Elena and Damon were. They were at their uncle's house. Stefan, like Bonnie, went straight there. They arrived just in time. Because when they stormed in, Damon had tied her up and was ready to stab her with the white oak stake (a weapon used by the originals to kill vampires). Stefan knew there was only one way to save Elena's life.
"She's not Katherine!", Stefan shouted just in time. "What do you mean, of course this is Katherine.", Damon replied. "If she was Katherine she would have known from the beginning who we were and fled from us. Katherine is afraid of us, remember?" said Stefan. Then Damon ran away because he knew Stefan was right. Stefan untied Elena.
Elena was completely confused. "Who is Katherine?" That's when Stefan knew it was too late and he couldn't keep it quiet any longer. He took a picture of Katherine and showed it to Elena. Elena was in shock when she saw the picture. Then she remembered the conversation between her and Stefan in the forest about why Damon wanted to kill her. It was because Damon thought she was a dangerous person from before. The girl in the picture looked exactly like her...
