"The battle of Willow Creek took place right at the end of the war in our very own Mystic Falls." Mr. Tanner stated as he looks around the classroom." How many casualties resulted in the battle. Miss Bennett?" He questioned.

Bonnie looked up from her notebook in surprise before she mumbled."Um... a lot? She looked at Mr. tanner with a smile before she confirmed." I´m not sure. Like a whole lot."

Mr. Tanner stared at Bonnie before he spoke." Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Mss Bennett." He looked around the room before stopping on another student." Mister. Donovan? Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock sterotype?"

"It´s okay, Mr. Tanner. I´m cool with it." Matt told Mr. Tanner while a smile made it´s way onto his face.

"Hmm." Mr. Tanner mumbled while the class laughed at the exchange." Mr. Tanner looked around between the students before he found his next victim."Miss. Gilbert." Mr. Tanner questioned." Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town´s most signifcantly historical events?"

Elena shook her head." I´m sorry. i don´t know."

"I was willing to be lenient lasy year for obvious reasons, Elena. but the personal excuses ended with summer break." Mr. Tanner told Elena.

"There were 346 casualties." Stefan answered the previous question." Unless you´re counting local civilians." He added.

Mr. Tanner nodded his head." That´s correct." He looked at Stefan in wonder." Mister?"

"Salvatore." Stefan said.

"Salvatore." He spoke with curiously." Any relations to the original settlers here in Mystic Falls?" He questioned.

"Stefan took a pause before he nodded his head." Distant."

"Well, very good." Mr. Tanner complimented as he turned towards his desk before adding." Except, of course, there was no civilian casualties in the battle."

"Actually, they there was 27, sir." Stefan corrected Mr. Tanner. " Confederate soldiers, they fired on a church, believing it house weapons." Stefan explained." They were wrong, it was a night of great Loss." He looked at Mr. Tanner as he added." The founder´s archives are uh, stored in Civil Hall if you like to brush up on your facts, Mr. Tanner."

Mr. Tanner smiled in embarrassment before he mumbled under his breath before he turned back to his desk.


Once the sun settled in the small town, all the teenagers crowded the woods by the famous Falls. Elena, Bonnie and Camilla all stood close together watching the flames of the fire. But Bonnie suddenly turned towards Elena. "Just admit it, Elena."

Elena chuckled." Oh, okay. So he´s a little pretty."

"He has that romance novel stare. Stefan looked deep into her eyes, piercing her very soul." Bonnie mocked.

"Okay Bonnie, You´re officially cut off." Camilla told her." So, where is he?" Camilla questioned.

"I don´t know." Elena shrugged." You´re the psychic one." Elena told Bonnie.

"oh, that´s a good one." Camilla applauded Elena´s come back and turned to wait for Bonnie´s respond.

"Right, I forgot. Okay, give me a second. Grams says i have to concentrate."

"Wait." Elena interjacted." You need a crystal ball." Camilla turned around and found an empty beer bottle on the ground and handed it to Bonnie. As Bonnie gripped it her eyes widened and she stared straight at Camilla.

"What?" Elena called out in worry as she watched Bonnie continue to stare at Camilla strangely.

Bonnie shook her head as she heard Elena call out her name. which pulled her right out of the trance she found herself in." That was weird. When i touch you. I saw you running through the woods, with tears running down your cheeks. A man called out a name, but it was not your name."

Bonnie noticed the worried faces of her two friends, and she quickly shook her head and tried to explain." I´m drunk. It´s the drinking. Ther´s nothing psychic about it." Bonnie paused before she spoke again."Yeah? Okay, I´m going to get a refill." Bonnie said before walking away from her friends.

Camilla watched Bonnie walk away before she looked over at Elena. Elena touched Camilla´s arm as she spoke." I will go and check on her." Elena smiled at Camilla before she walked away as she went to find Bonnie.

Camilla found herself standing alone by the fire. She sighed as she looked around and saw Tyler sitting ontop of a table and she made her way towards him and climbed onto the table and sat next to him." Hey."

"Hey, you." Tyler said as he slung his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him." Everthing okay?" Tyler asked her with a worried look on his face.

"Yeah, I´m good." Camilla told him as she grabbed the beer bottle that he had in his hand.

"You´re lying." Tyler said.

Camilla brought the beer bottle to her lips." You know me too well."

"What´s going on?" Tyler questioned.

Camilla shook her head." I have been sleeping so well and..." Camilla paused before she continued." You´re going to think I´m crazy, but last night i think i saw someone standing under the mable tree staring up at my window."

"What do you mean you think?" Tyler questioned with a confused look on his face.

"I don´t know." Camilla said rubbing her eyes." Forget i said anything."

"Camilla you..." Whatever Tyler was going to say died on his lips as a scream could be heard, and they both jumped off the table and ran towards where the scream came from.

As Camilla and Tyler came closer, they noticed a large crowd starting to form, and they saw Jeremy Gilbert carrying out a limp Vicki from the woods.

"Vicki?" Matt whispered in shock." Vicki, what the hell?" He questioned out loud as he quickly made his way towards his unconscious sister.

"What happened to her?" Tyler questioned as he ran up to Matt´s side.

"Somebody call an ambulance!" Matt yelled as he ignored Tyler´s question.

"Everbody back up, and give her some space!" Camilla yelled.

"It´s her neck. Something bit her. She´s losing a lot of blood." Elena cried out.

Camilla turned towards the group and noticed the blood that was dripping down Vicki´s neck. Camilla quickly pulled the scraf from around her neck." Put this against her neck." Camilla said as she held the scarf out towards Elena, who took the scarf and pressed it firmly against the wound.

"Vicki, Vicki, come on."Matt begged as he looked down at his sister. "Open your eyes. Look at me."

Camilla wasn´t sure when the authorities arrived, but Vicki was whisked off by the paramedic and she found herself standing with Tyler, watching as Matt climbed into the ambulance after Vicki. Camilla turned her head to the side when she heard fast footsteps heading straight towards them." Camilla." Her dad called out."I want you to find your sister and head on home." He said before he turned towards the animal control officer." I want you to search every inch of the woods if you have to."He told the officer.

"Yes, sir." The man said before he turned towards his teammate." Let´s go." He said a he nodded his head towards the woods, and the two officers followed him towards the woods.

Camilla turned towards Tyler and took his hand." Hey. You call me if you hear anything?"

"Of course." Tyler said as he pulled her into a hug." Get some sleep." He whispered into her ear

"I will." Camilla told him as she pulled away and made her way towards the last place she had seen her sister. Camilla found Sophie standing along side her friends.

"Sophie."

Sophie turned towards her sister and quickly said her goodbyes before she ran towards her sister."Is Vicki okay?" Sophie questioned.

Camilla shook her head." I don´t know. But dad´s here and he want us to go home."

Sophie looked around for their dad and she spotted him standing by the fire, he was talking to someone on his cell phone and he didn´t look happy at all." He doesn´t look happy." Sophie said as she turned towards her sister.

"I know." Camilla said as she saw the angry look on their dad´s face." Let´s go." Camilla said as she took her sisters hand, and they walked towards Camilla´s car. not noticing the pair of blue eyes watching them from a far.


The next morning. Camilla made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen. Sophie was eating pancakes at the dinner table across from their dad, who was reading his newspaper, and Their mother stood by the kitchen counter, cutting fruit and putting them into a bowl.

"Good morning." Camilla said as she walked over to the kitchen counter and poured herself a cup of coffee.

Karin turned to her daughter with the bowl of fruit in her hand." Good morning too you."

Camilla took the bowl and sat down beside her sister, she raised her eyebrow as she saw Sophie drowning her pancakes in syrup." Don´t you think you had enough"

"You can never get enough." Sophie answered as she cut into her pancake and took a bite.

Camilla was halfway done with her bowl of fruit when she looked up at her dad who was still concentrating on his paper." So, dad.

"No." Tom said, not even looking up.

Baffeld, Camilla´s mouth gaped open." You don´t even what i was gonna say?"

"You were going to ask if i had new information about what happened in the woods last night and no, I don´t and even if i did, there is no way in hell i would tell you about it."

Camilla grumbled before finishing her coffee.

Tom sat his paper down on the table and pointed his finger at his daughter. "I just don´t want you girls getting caught up in anything dangerous. Tom´s eyebrow raised when he said." Again."

"That was not my fault. not mine." Camilla told her parents, pointing her finger towards her sister." It was Sophie who wanted to follow the werewolf into the woods, not me."

"Hey! At least we stop it from eating anyone else in the town." Sophie said as she cut onto her second pancake, stabbed it with a fork, and took a bite out of it.

"It almost took a bite of me!" Camilla said as she pointed to the part of her stomach where the scar from the werewolf was.

Sophie rolled her eyes. "Cry baby."

Camilla pinched her arm as hard as she could." OW!"

"It hurt doesn´t it?" Camilla questioned.

"Hey, play nice, you too." Karin told them before she turned to her husband.

"It was not a werewolf was it?" Camilla questioned as she looked between her parent.

"No." Karin said as she sat down beside Tom." It was something else. It was... Karin paused before she continued." Remember the stories your grandfather would tell you when you were kids?"

"He told us many stories ." Camilla said as she leaned back in her chair with her arms foldd across her chest." He also told us not to be afraid of the dark.

"You should." Tom said.

"Tom!" Karin shook her head at her husband.

"They should be afraid of the dark!" Tom shouted back as he pointed his finger at the window." You know what´s out there!"

"What´s out there?" Both girls asked.

"This is not something we should be talking about now." Karin said as she looked over at the clock that was hanging on the wall." You girls are going to be late for school."

"Mom!"

"Your mom´s right." Tom said." We will talk about it to night, but right now." Tom waved his finger between the girls." You need to go to school... Now."Tom said as both girls just sat there in their chairs staring at their parents.

"Fine." Camilla said as she nudged Sophie and stood up." Later." Camilla said as she stomped out of the kitchen with her sister following closely behind.

When Karin heard the front door close she turned to her husband." I don´t think they are ready."

"I know, but if there is a vampire running around, they need to be able to protect themselves karin." Tom said before he leand towards his wife." Like Sophie said. They took on a werewolf all by themselves." Tom placed a kiss on her lips before he pushed his chair away from the table and stood." I´m going to be at the station. Call me when the girls home." He said before he walked out of the kitchen.

Karin sighed before she stood as well and walked over to the kitchen counter and took her cell phone out of her bag, dialing her father´s number, she place the cell phone against her ear as it rang. She didn´t have to wait long until she heard her dad´s voice on the other end.

"Hello, my dear."Her dad said, answeing the call.

"It´s time." Karin said as she looked out of the window and saw Tom and the girls cars pulling out of the driveway.

"What happened?" Her dad question.

"There´s a vampire lose in Mystic Falls.

"You and Tom most do what you think is best for the girls." Her dad told her.

"I never wanted this life for them dad." Karin shook her head."

"Honey..."

"There´s something else dad." Karin cut in.

"What?"

"Camilla´s dreams has started again"

"You sure?" He question with worry.

"I heard her saying his name in her sleep a few nights ago. Dad...I...I can´t lose my daughter. I can´t." Karin said as tears fall from her eyes.

"Don´t you have some of the tea the Bennett witch gave you?" He questioned.

"no."

"Then asked her to make you some more, i know she would do it, if you asked her." He said.

" I will asked her." Karin told him.

"Okay, honey...Oh, your mom says...Yes, yes women. Will you let me tell our daughter, our will you like to do it yourself?" Karin laghed as she heard her mom yelling from somewhere close by." The book baby, show them the book."

"I will show them the book." Karin said.

"Evrything is going to be fine honey, and if not, Then i will have your brothers on the first flight out." He said.

"Thank you daddy."

"I love you lady bug."

"I love you too. Tell mom i love her too." Karin said before she ended the call and placed her cell phone back inside her bag and walked out of the kitchen. She walked towards the front door and opened it and gasped in surprise as she saw who were standing there.

"Mrs. Bennett?" Karin questioned.

"We need to talk." told her.
