COWRITTEN WITH KEKE AKA RANDOMFANDOMING THE BEST COWRITER EVER 3
Chapter One
In a small family home, off a side street in Los Angeles- two girls watched TV into the wee morning hours with no regard to the level 5 hurricane passing (currently obliterating San Bernardino.)
Dinah and Diana West were cuddled up in about a hundred layers of sherpa blanketing, with a tower of pillows, lounging on a large grey sectional while a vampire tore into the neck of a girl on the monitor. On the glass coffee table before them lay abandoned Redbull cans, two cups of coffee, and two laptops- both sitting with documents open for the stories the girls wrote.
Just as Diana, the younger of the two, opened her mouth to speak- the power cut off.
Leaving the house dead silent and creepy as ever with their single father away on a business trip in Chicago, convincing some sad sop to invest in things they shouldn't for big bucks. A fact they tried to ignore because they couldn't change his career, both of them suggested it ages ago and nearly got grounded for 'implying he was shady.'
"Not it!"
"nOT IT!"
They called out at the same time before Dinah threw her hands in the air, and Diana begrudgingly rose up to avoid an argument. You wouldn't have known they were sisters right away, actually only sharing a father, but when the light caught their features, or you got to know them, it was clear from their similar button-shaped noses to their eerie cat-like orbs green eyes. Aside from that, they shared a legendary temper and abundant curls.
"Hold on- I'll go with you," Dinah said begrudgingly, knowing that with them living in LA, anything could happen during that short amount of time where Diana handled it.
So with hands held- the West sisters exited their front door, leaving the screen shut behind them. With Dinah holding an umbrella over them in her extra grip and Diana pointing a flashlight, they swerved around the side of their building and stopped at a dingy, old, rusted over, and cobweb encased breaker box.
"Damn," Diana whistled, "this shit is fucked."
The storm raged on all around them- whipping their hair and denting the umbrella harshly.
Ignoring the crawling of her skin and the shivers of disgust- Diana propped open the hatch with a relatively large amount of force. Her elbow flew back, and it took a minute to recenter herself, her flashlight grasped by her mouth to free up her hand.
"Be careful!" Dinah hollered against the gusts of mother nature as if there was anything her sister could do to prevent what was about to happen.
Diana's index finger descended upon the switch lacking a red tag, the one that read 'off' at the very top in the row. And the minute it made contact- all the electricity in the world coursed through the girls' veins. Shutting them down instantly like a light.
And while their house came back to life with the switch back on and The Vampire Diaries returned to its never-ending loop- two bodies dropped. Not to be found until the following day when their pets would scream for help, locked inside the house, hungry, and worried about their owners.
But Dinah and Diana were simply unique- unbeknownst to them, their souls had traversed through a millennium of living and dying to get to their fated universe. The place they're supposed to be. All because of a destiny greater than imaginable that would begin in the familiar small town of Mystic Falls, Virginia, at a particular point in time.
The first thing they realize when they wake up is that they're not awake.
Sitting in a pool of liquid with walls that close in and little-to-no space: Dinah and Diana quickly began drowning out the reality of being in the womb while aware. They didn't try to open their eyes or move aside from their still being held hands.
Death made them fearful. They didn't want to assume anything and the day brightness cracked into their shitty home of darkness- gloved hands yanked them free into the crisp air. Babies once more and horrified to face such a fact. Their ears and eyes were too sensitive- their nose picking up all the different hand sanitizers in the room.
"Dinah and Diana Hendrix," their new mother declared.
How was it possible to have the same first names? They both wondered through migraines as their little tiny brains tried adjusting. At which point the lack of storage and number of memories became locked up tight- a mental brigade built to protect their ever-firing neurons until they reached an age where they did have enough storage.
As infantry and toddlerhood came to pass- they were raised by a wealthy single mother and had a relatively large social circle for kids. Caroline Forbes and Tyler Lockwood being specific favorites, the police chief's daughter and the mayor's son. Teenagehood daunted their mother, who wasn't prepared but knew soon- soon she would no longer be able to hide their powers from them. And on their 12th birthday something both magical and entirely natural occurred.
They remembered.
Their memories came to them in bits and pieces, like parts of an elaborate puzzle they hadn't even realized they needed to complete.
"Hey, Diana, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Dinah asked, staring at the brand new sign their mother was putting up for her restaurant. The Mystic Grill. It was the sight of it that made their head spin as they came to an insane realization. This place was familiar, and not just because they had lived here all of their lives.
Diana was too busy looking around the rest of the place with fresh eyes that were now oh so aware of their predicament. "Holy crap," she replied to her sister, a nervous yet excited spark in her green eyes.
Dinah was just confused.
She couldn't remember every little thing, but suddenly, just as surely as she knew how to tie her shoes, she now had thoughts and feelings all regarding a life she shouldn't recall. A migraine began making itself known.
Maybe whatever higher power upstairs had seriously fucked up? They had to have, Dinah thought, looking around. If we're really in the universe it seems like we are.
Diana gently pulled her sister into the restaurant when their mother called them inside, worried as they had paused outside its doors too long and returned quieter than average. Their favorite music played on the new speakers their mother Noami had recently installed, sadly replacing the beat-up and track skipping jukebox. A variety of different colored balloons filled the space, a few family friends were putting up party streamers, and the smell of delicious food made the sisters share a smile.
Hopefully, there would be enough pasta for the rest of their guests, as they were likely to eat it all by themselves if given so much as a chance. They looked like birds waiting to swoop in on their prey as they eyed the nearly full buffet table.
"Ey yo, D&D!" Diego, their older brother, called.
They cringed and waved him over from his spot behind the bar, where he would soon work. He jumped over it, getting a chiding look from their mother, who was, lucky for him, too busy ordering more stock on the phone.
"It's your birthday- how come you two look like someone cut the cheese?"
Diana snorted and opened her big mouth before Dinah could stop her.
"Just remembered we were sisters in our past life's too."
Dinah turned to look at her sister with wide eyes that screamed what the hell before she turned her head again back towards their brother, who thankfully laughed it off.
"You and your weird jokes. I just came to see if you guys wanted to go to a soccer game with Tyler and me tomorrow?" Diego replied, and Dinah didn't know whether to be relieved or not that he hadn't believed Diana.
Diana answered for them, "can't."
When that wasn't good enough, she explained.
"Gotta write down plans to save the world" with a shrug.
"Don't work too hard; heroes don't get paid at the end of the day," Diego laughed again, roughly patting their heads as though they were just the most adorable thing.
He's right, Diana thought. Maybe we should just convince mom to move. Not that that would happen, having just purchased a plateaued business.
"We'll keep you updated on our dental plan," Dinah joked weakly at that, her mind feeling as though it was ready to burst from the burden of knowledge.
As if reading Dinah's thoughts, as Diego retreated to talk to their mom, Diana yanked her arm roughly towards the not-really out of order restroom so they could lock the door from the inside and discuss what just happened openly.
"What did we do to deserve to be reincarnated in this universe of all places?" Dinah questioned the moment the doors were closed, so obviously trying not to panic but failing as she paced around.
Diana sighed deeply. "I'm currently mourning big macs," running a hand through her red locks.
Dinah made a sad noise at the thought of having to wait for them to come out with half of the things they had taken for granted in their past life.
"We need a plan, right?" Dinah asked her sister, stopping her pacing to turn to look at her with wide eyes.
A slight pause followed, and she could see the cogs turning in Diana's mind.
"Well," She started with an 'o' look on her face, "It's fairly simple. I'm great at fucking up canon. You've read my writing. I have thousands of ways to thwart all the crackheads that come our way. I say we wing it and look fabulous while doing it. Just know if something even remotely not positive happens to mom because of the plot though...I will lose it."
Dinah bit her lip, mulling over her words, but it was hardly a stretch to imagine that their previous writing abilities would come in handy. They just needed to find a way to protect themselves, and hopefully fly under the radar enough that people didn't question them.
Answering her thoughts, as the pair often did, Diana spoke up again.
"We be creepy with our foreknowledge. That's it. Everyone who could kill us could use us instead. It's not much but an 'I can help you I've seen your future' is a hell of a get out of jail card."
Dinah relaxed somewhat, if only because they did have a lot of dirt on almost everyone in this universe, or at least the important and ridiculously powerful ones.
"Right, okay, we can do this!" Dinah said, and hey, it would be kind of fun to fuck with characters she previously could only make fun of on TV. Though it was weird knowing the people they grew up with were, while still people, actually pieces of entertainment at one point. So so weird.
They shuddered, no longer the West sisters but now the Hendrix twins.
Some odd five years later...
Bonnie's car is fixed, so you guys' don't need to pick me up anymore - Elena.
The text from the Gilbert teen woke up the twins, an obnoxiously long Katy Perry ringtone blasting from Dinah's lime green phone discarded on the carpet.
"Salvatore day" Diana choked out, always the jokester, her voice rough with sleep still saturating it.
Little did they know it would also be the day their mother, Naomi, would be forced to tell them the truth. That they are in fact witches. After all, Sheila Bennett had been harassing the house phone since their recent 17th birthday. The seer, while helpful, sometimes didn't know when to stop.
Dinah laughed, half hysterically, into her pillow, still clinging to it and closing her eyes tight as though it would make the sunshine coming from their windows go away.
"Don't worry Stefan eats bunnies, and we've seen Klaus and Kai. They make Damon look like he is the bunny" Diana continued to reassure her, her voice suddenly awake, as she hopped out of bed. The early birds gets the vampires, she wondered briefly if they had any leftover Domino's she could reheat for breakfast.
Dinah slowly peeled herself away from her bed, wiping the sleep from her eyes before she stumbled after her sister, her stomach more of an alarm clock than anything else. She felt immediate regret when she saw their mom's new boyfriend, Hank, cooking breakfast.
Dinah liked making her own opinions of people, really she did, but Diego and Hank did not get along at all for whatever reason that was still unknown to the sister, and she trusted her big brother's opinion to be wary of him.
"Morning girls!" He greeted them, making himself at home with their stove.
It smelled good, Dinah thought reluctantly. And since it looked like Diana wasn't going to eat any of it, she begrudgingly pulled out a plate.
"Morning," Diana replied, popping leftovers into the microwave with nothing but false kindness in her tone.
Dinah only grunted in reply, piling her plate with chocolate pancakes and bacon. Man for a piece of shit the guy could cook. He just looked and dressed like he bought feet pics online. Thick nice hair, and not exactly ugly features. But his too tidy, always tucked in shirt, clean clothes, and lack of a personality had the girls somewhat convinced he was a military plant to find out about reincarnated spirits or some other CW bullshit.
"I figured I should get used to making breakfast for you girls," he said, all wide smiles at the implication.
Unfortunately at that exact moment with an equally huge grin on her face, Naomi Hendrix walked out of her bedroom adjacent to the kitchen- stopping Dinah from the rude retort she was about to make in defense. She wore her usual pink robe but the school-yard hickeys on her neck really did nothing for her business career.
He was a lucky one, she thought, glaring at the audacious bitch boy before quietly sitting down next to her sister who was devouring her leftover pasta like a starving cavewoman.
Dinah scrunched her nose as she caught an unfortunate glimpse of her mom greeting Hank with a kiss, quickly looking at her plate before she saw anything else. Damn these were some fucking good pancakes, she admitted to herself as she quickly finished one before the adults even joined them at the table.
Their mother gave them both a forehead kiss before sitting down at the table. "You two need a ride to school? Hank can take you-" Noami said, almost making Dinah choke on her food in her haste to reply.
"I've got it, mom," Diana replied, saving her sister from having to reply with false niceties.
"You alright, kid?" Hank asked, both adults looking at Dinah in concern as she continued to cough until she swallowed her food down with water.
"Right as rain" she channeled her sister in order to fake the pleasantries.
At this point, she couldn't wait to brave being back in school.
"We should probably get dressed before we're late," Diana said, finishing her food in record time that impressed everyone at the table.
Dinah nodded eagerly, probably a little too eagerly if the look their mother shot her was anything to go on, but she quickly stuffed the last pancake on her plate in her mouth before putting her plate in the sink. Indigestion was a bridge she'd cross later.
As they retreated from the hostile takeover that is Hank, unbelievably- Diana pulled a tums out of her pocket and tossed it up in the air for her to catch without even saying anything.
"This is why you're my favorite sister," she said, shaking a few into her mouth.
"We're picking up Jer," Diana told her as if it was a fair trade, tums for the delay, hopping into the drivers side of their shared Porsche.
Dinah didn't really care too much other than the fact that Diana and he would be making kissy eyes at each other the whole fuckin' time. Most of the time when she tried to third wheel with them- poor love-stricken and virginity-stolen Jeremy couldn't even fake conversation with her. Too obsessed with staring and hanging onto Diana's every word.
"As long as I get to sit in the passenger's seat," she replied, shrugging as she got in, her shoulder bag heavy on her shoulder.
"Yep, I got a nice cozy spot for him in the trunk" Diana joked, knowing he wouldn't mind or question being squished between two hot ass twins.
Dinah snorted, pulling out her flip phone to text her own fuckbuddy. Though to be fair at least Diana actually had feelings for Jeremy.
Her and Tyler were just bumping uglies for pleasure and convenience. It kept him from developing STDs when he hit puberty, which he probably would have as in canon he'd fucked his way through the entire cheerleading team except for Elena but with Dinah in his life- there was no need. They'd grown up together and with him being Diana's childhood best friend, it left room for the trust needed to screw. Well not needed but preferred.
To: Tyguy
Her fingers moved across her book-style flip phone, more recent than Diana's, and a gift from the Lockwood when she agreed to be friends with benefits. One her mother sorely disapproved of, that Diana cheered her on for getting. But she wasn't one to complain about getting free, expensive shit.
I'll be at school soon and if you're standing by Stinky-Vicki Donovan, I won't suck you for two weeks. Kisses! Thinking of you!
That had been the agreement and with a lonely Vicki having not gotten any distraction since Diana had taken up all of the Gilbert boys' time, she kept barking up the Lockwood's tree. Thankfully Tyler was a lot of things and needed therapy desperately, but because of the way his dad cheated and continues to do so- he promised to never do it and meant it. It worked out since Dinah specifically told him that if he wanted to be her first and keep screwing he was to keep it in his fuckin' pants.
He replied almost instantly which made her smile.
Hey, psychic. She's standing right here and I just told her she stinks. Happy? - Tyguy
To: Tyguy
Yes. Yes I am. Muchas mamadas en tu futuro.
Many blowjobs in your future, she'd said.
They both learned Spanish together to satiate their mothers, which was how the whole sex-just-because began.
Diana laughed suddenly- tearing her sister's green eyes away from her device.
"I'm gonna go get Jer, tell Ty I said that tonight's COD night and there's no backing out."
"Don't leave me in here too long, kay?" Dinah said, her fingers moving fast over her phone to do as asked. Her sister hummed in reply before she got out of the car.
No te preocupes, puedo pasar la noche. Las muchas mamadas están comenzando antes de lo que podría haber esperado. Besos. - Tyler.
"No worries, I can spend the night. The many blowjobs are starting sooner than I could've hoped. Kisses" was the English translation.
They sent each other funny memes back and forth before the boytoy replied with 'Matt's coming, gtg.' That should go over well if he really did tell Vicki she's stinky, Dinah thought.
Surprisingly it took less than 10 minutes. She'd expected it to be at least twenty. But hey, maybe Jeremy didn't have the stamina Tyler did. Or...she thought as they walked out together...they didn't do it at all. They usually banged before they left for school but Jeremy lacked the telltale possessive bite marks and Diana's hair sat undisturbed..
They walked out together hand in hand and kissed, a light peck, while sliding in through the drivers side door so Dinah wouldn't have to move.
"Morning, Di!" Jeremy said cheerfully.
He'd changed since Diana deflowered him, Dinah noticed. It must've been nice since in the original series his virginity was used and thrown away by someone high off narcotics. Instead Diana probably laid out roses and lit candles, knowing her.
Dinah replied back happily.
"Morning, Jer!"
At least Diana chose someone unquestionably good at heart. Unlike Hank. She twitched remembering the lovey couple's PDA every day, making her hide from her home at the Lockwood's residence most afternoons.
Dinah grinned as the car started and they took off, having caught her reflection. The weather in Mystic Falls being nice for once. Her sister helped her do her hair every morning not out of need but because they loved each other and re-installing a wig every day is insanity. Insanity the twins accomplished- leaving Dinah with naturally perfect black curls hidden beneath a beautiful real human hair ginger wig. It made them look identical instead of fraternal; taking away the one difference between herself and her twin.
Jeremy smelled like pot- as per usual. Reminding Dinah to re-up on her stash later, if nothing else. She rested her head back on the car seat, content enough for the moment to maybe not nap, but relax her tired eyes that had been anxiously kept open until 3 AM.
Diana reached a stop sign and turned down the radio until it was background noise for her resting sister. Being with Jeremy felt so right. She wondered if they'd end up together, as their interlocked fingers brought her so much joy. It made both of them a lot more comfortable at school as well. But for some reason, she had a feeling, and almost all of her feelings came true in her new life, that her and Jeremy's breakup would happen between the start of canon (today) and the end of season 1.
She didn't even have to wonder how she knew things whereas Dinah did.
Diana kept her mom's secret- having realized she was a witch and that they too were witches long ago.
"I love you" Jeremy said for the 100th time.
"I love you too" Diana said back, not even lying.
Happiness looked good on her- her smile huge and her jokes more frequent than ever. He was one of the biggest reasons she wanted to fix the plot and save everyone. People like his Aunt Jenna wouldn't die. Not on her watch. She could feel it in her bones that she and Dinah were there to make a difference.
If only he could get along with her friends...she thought, pulling up to the school and seeing Tyler at her usual parking spot already. Although he was batting away a fly. A Donovan fly.
As Jeremy climbed out of the car, Diana gently shook her twin.
"Wake up, yo. We're in Hell."
Dinah opened one eyelid at a time, rubbing her properly sore neck. An amused smile appeared on her face when she noticed the same thing Diana did. Tyler and Matt arguing in front of the school like a pair of chuckleheads.
"I didn't think he would actually call Vicki stinky," her sister mumbled under her breath before getting out of the car with her.
"Never underestimate Ty's ability to deter women," Diana supplied, making her sister laugh before they went to save both Tyler and Matt from doing anything stupid on the first day.
Jeremy trailed off in a different direction without another word, as he did most mornings. Only instead of going to pop pills with Vicki, thanks to Diana the boy went to his actual scheduled class to the surprise of his teachers and onlooking sister.
With the arrival of the twins- Tyler saw his out. He linked arms with Dinah and said hi to Diana.
"I've never lied to you in your whole life. And you think I'm lying to you now? If I said she was stinky, I would own it" he shrugged, having no issues lying through his teeth- the twins knew.
But poor naive Matt didn't. Luckily for Tyler, Dinah and Diana were looking to avoid conflict...not start it like some of the lesser females their age.
"Sorry, sorry...you know how sick I get of people talking down to Vick" Matt explained "it's no excuse though. Next time if I think something isn't true, I won't even ask. I'll just trust that you wouldn't do something like that. Hey Diana, hey Dinah."
With half the school raving about how supposedly virgin Diana turned out definitely virgin Jeremy- it was obvious Matt's choice of who he greeted first was on his purpose. His innocent baby blues not so innocently landing on the witch's cleavage. No doubt wondering what every other guy who'd heard was wondering. What the ride felt like.
Then he remembered Elena and a look of anguish overtook his face.
Nobody needed to be psychic to see that.
Slightly perturbed- Tyler and the girls left the scene as a trio. He usually walked them to their classes, with Diana walking Jeremy on opposite days.
"Want me to beat him up for eyeing you like that?" Dinah asked, completely serious in her offer and just itching for her sister to agree.
"No cuz then you'd be fighting half of the school right now."
Dinah sniffed, looking around the school, "I could take them," she replied, not an inch of doubt in her voice.
Diana paused for a moment before picking up her pace "you're right. I just saw it. I just rather you not be expelled."
Well- that helped. Knowing she'd succeed if she tried.
Tyler knew. Not much just that Diana sometimes saw 'out of the ordinary things. There was no denying it when she helped him blackmail his own father (the mayor) into stopping the physical abuse. She'd somehow known where he kept his casino debts. It was over for them having a relationship already so Tyler was just glad to be mostly free of the man, now being avoided for fear of Carol ripping off his balls.
"Matt's an idiot- he just needs a rebound" Tyler justified- being the guys' friend and all.
Diana scoffed as they reached her homeroom.
"As if! He'll be crying over Elena Gilbert until after he graduates."
Dinah nodded in agreement with her sister.
Tyler said something else, but the twins hadn't caught what he had said because- holy shit, had Stefan Salvatore just walked right past them? And even worse- their conversation caught his ear obviously, his eyes bearing into Diana and Dinah's own.
Diana and Dinah shared a look after their brain had processed what they had just seen, but eventually, they were separated by the shrill ringing of the bell signaling the start of classes.
"Good luck," Dinah whispered to her sister, squeezing her arm once before hurriedly rushing to her classes, dragging Tyler along with her.
Diana swallowed. Suddenly feeling like she had heartburn.
Until she got a text.
Don't feel weird it's just a bunch of dumb people coming together to squawk trivial shit at each other and kill time so our parents don't have to talk to us- Jerbear.
Remembering what she told Dinah earlier in the day, she just decided to say fuck it and head in.
Of course, Stefan's sitting right next to Diana's secluded desk in the very back. Whatever luck she had of avoiding him for a little while longer quickly going down the drain. She felt like she was stuck in one of her own fanfictions as she approached her seat and nervously smiled at him.
"I'm Diana, you're Stefan? Right?" She asked, sitting down with no real idea of what would come next.
But she wanted to be her authentic self. Something told her it was the only way to survive such a shitty shit universe.
He looked taken aback. Clearly, he didn't expect her to know him.
She slid her folder for Math out of her satchel and opened her notebook to a blank page.
"I'm a witch. So's my twin sister Dinah but do me a favor and don't mention it. I'm waiting for her to be ready and discover it naturally. I only know 'cuz I have visions" Diana explained ever so quietly as if she was just telling him her order at Denny's.
"Oh" Stefan seemed at a loss than before recovering relatively quickly, just as the teacher walked in.
"Yeah I am-"
"Stefan Salvatore!" The dickwad said loudly to the now full classroom cutting her deskmate off "you're our new student! Just wanted to point that out for everybody."
The rest of the teenagers laughed- giving Stefan looks like he was a fucking loser.
Diana sighed. He did that every time they got a new student. Just to draw attention to them and be an asshole.
"Are we gonna do math or are you just gonna stand there with your thumb up your ass?" Diana whispered darkly, and with a powerful drag of her finger-
"Ow! Damn!"
The hot cup of coffee in his grip poured straight onto his crotch.
Stefan grinned then and Diana felt proud- like she'd made a good impression. There was a feeling in her gut that said they would be good friends, and it was rare for her instincts to be wrong. She figured it was a witch thing.
Because of what she'd done, was forced to rush off to the faculty restroom and change.
Giving her ample time to plant seeds of whatever she wanted in his head, as well as form a real bond with him. The sooner she stopped thinking of him as a character the sooner she'd start having more to go off of as far as decision-making went.
"I know you are only going through high school in the hopes of getting to know Elena and establishing a normal life. But if you could spare me a few minutes at lunch today- I'd love it if I could be the one to introduce you to the girl you'll one day marry" Diana said it all knowingly, while popping a piece of a granola bar into her mouth.
"I won't say anything! Almost forgot that part" she blushed then- semi embarrassed since she was trying to come off as professional as her mom does sometimes.
Does she know what I am? She must. And yet she wants me to meet her friends? She could hear him thinking.
Stefan seemed at a loss for words once again, and she could almost see the cogs in his brain moving as he pondered on her words with a deep brooding look appearing on his face.
"I..Sure, why not," he replied finally, curiosity winning him over.
The period went by pretty smoothly. They discussed their mutual likes and dislikes- and Diana went so far as to invite him over for COD night with Tyler. A ritual she never shared with anyone and wasn't sure the Lockwood would be too pleased with. Oh well, he wouldn't find out until it was too late.
Second and third were uneventful, and she spent the fourth sucking Jeremy off in the janitor's closet. An appetizer since lunch was next.
She found Dinah wrapped up in her own little world with Caroline, Elena, and Bonnie. But as her eyes scanned the crowd- she caught Stefan's. Diana jumped and raced over to him with catlike reflexes, her hand slapping down on his leather-clad shoulder and drawing almost every eye in the cafeteria.
"C'mon Stef!" Diana quipped lightheartedly with a smile sweet as pie "come sit with my friends! The one I told you about is the blonde." The redhead whispered the last part.
Tyler watched with a big obvious frown before realizing they were coming to sit and slapped a possessive arm around Dinah's shoulders. As if to say- don't even think about it, to the attractive vampire.
Jeremy practically did the same thing- swooping in on Diana and peppering her in kisses.
Dinah looked at the arm wrapped around her shoulders, confused by it and Tyler's little act of possessiveness. Her sister looked slightly taken back by Jeremy as well. However, she lounged and purred like a cat completely accepting of the affection. Whereas Dinah kinda felt like the action deserved an explanation later.
"Hey, who's the new kid?" She asked, playing dumb for the moment. She nodded her head at Stefan, trying very hard to act cool and calm when she really wanted to stare at him like a little green alien. If it wasn't for Diana's earlier big mouth- he might've found it suspicious how forced the smile on Dinah's face was. Luckily, he must've just written it off as her getting bad juju from him being a vampire.
"Stefan meet my twin Dinah, my boyfriend Jeremy, and my friends Tyler, Bonnie, Elena and Caroline," Diana introduced them, emphasizing the blonde's name.
Stefan rolled his eyes fondly and then offered Caroline specifically one of the warmest smiles ever. The one he reserved for when he first met Katherine. It looked like having a witch tell him she's his soulmate did mean something if he could put his glances at the doppelganger second for a first.
Caroline melted almost literally- reaching for water and drinking it while clearly trying to remember how to introduce herself.
"Hi, I'm Elena."
And just like that, the moment was over.
"Hi, nice to meet you all," Stefan said, his eyes now on the doppelganger as though he was seeing a ghost.
Dinah reached over to grab her box of apple juice, obnoxiously drinking the last of it until the noise of the empty box broke their weird staring. Diana laughed- finding the whole thing hilarious. Which of course made Jeremy chuckle too. Stefan appeared weirded out, Elena was more semi sexually frustrated, while Caroline looked somewhere between victorious and put down.
"Honored to meet you, Stef," Dinah said, genuine in her words if a little spooked by actually meeting him.
She put her juice box down and turned towards Tyler, giving him a wide-eyed glance when his arm never left her shoulders no matter how much she fidgeted. Why not just pee on me?
Stefan nodded at her, a small if sincere smile on his face before he was pulled into conversation with his future wife.
It was an interesting lunch at least, watching Stefan trying to split his attention between Elena and her horny glances and Caroline and her curious questions about her future husband. Jeremy and Diana seemed to be stuck eating one another's faces instead of their food. And Bonnie didn't want fuck all to do with the conversation.
Dinah needed like...popcorn to go with the free entertainment they were all providing her. She settled for the fries on her tray.
Tyler didn't seem moved at all by the silent battle going on between himself and Dinah. Which of course bothered her. Thankfully his fifth period is nowhere near hers, she thinks- getting up to be rid of her now-empty plating. She offered to take the rest of the tables trash and with a puff to get her hair out of her eyes, she headed to the bins.
"Forgot something!" Bonnie quipped, having crossed her path on the way back.
The Bennett witch lifted her arm to toss an empty soda can into the recyclables and as she did so, her skin brushed the exposed side of Dinah courtesy of the Hendrix witch's revealing attire.
A vision hit the both of them like a ton of bricks. Dinah and Bonnie's first visions...ever.
There was an abnormal amount of fog surrounding them, and for a second that was all they saw until they heard the ominous sound of wings overhead. A crow flew out of the neverending fog and seemingly, straight towards them.
They both let out a shaky breath when whatever the fuck that was let them go.
Dinah blinked once and then twice, the vision bleeding away from her eyes.
"I.. did you see what I saw?" Dinah asked her friend, catching the slightly shaken look on her friend's face.
Well, she thought, trying not to have a freak out in the middle of the cafeteria- shit just got even more fucking wild for her it seemed. Bonnie didn't seem to have the words to reply, instead looking down to make sure she had her bag, and just taking off.
Diana and Jeremy took her place- both also heading towards the exit. The lovebirds had their 5th period together, an elective of art.
Dinah had been pushing the weird shit she and her sister always experienced into the back of her mind. But she was slowly coming to a realization she really didn't want to make.
"You okay?" Diana asked her sister, tilting her head and looking at her knowingly.
"Uh.. no, I've got class with the tin man next," Dinah replied quickly, and promised herself that she would tell her sister the truth when the couple managed to unglue themselves from each other.
"Good luck," Jeremy tore his big heart eyes away from her sister to say, knowing how annoying Tanner could be.
She saluted them like the brave warrior she was before they went their separate ways.
Shit this high school thing is exhausting, she thought, slowly dragging her feet to the next hellhole. Sorry ahem, class.
Diana, Elena, Stefan, herself, and Bonnie all had history next and so they arrived together. Of course, Stefan snagged the somehow available seat next to Elena. Dinah eyed the kid without a seat ditching behind them. Oh.
Dinah took her spot next to Matt's desk, offering him a weak grin and praising the high heavens once her ass met the chair. When she got home- she was taking the biggest nap. Just thinking about her queen-sized, Egyptian cotton, wet dream of a mattress was making her yawn.
Once everyone was seated (about 30 kids) the fucker began doing what he did worst, talking. The only one who did it worse than him was probably Hank.
"The battle of Willow Creek took place right at the end of the war in our own Mystic Falls. How many casualties resulted in this battle, Miss Hendrix?"
Dinah cursed as his eyes landed on her, looking like the rat that he was. Of fucking course he'd call on her. But she didn't know how many. Wasn't he supposed to call on Bonnie, then Matt, and then when they didn't know bully Elena? And then Stefan would correct the line?
Tanner was about to chew her out- when Diana answered instead; taking advantage of the usage of only their surname and loving the ability to steal Stefan's scene since she did remember the numbers.
"There were 346 casualties unless you're counting the civilians, and don't even try to say there weren't any 'cuz you can brush up on your facts down at city hall," Diana said with fake gusto.
She had the balls to sass teachers but was too smart to waste her time doing it. Unless it involved Dinah. Yeah, she'd pay dearly for that one in the grade book, she could tell when Tanner said nothing and his football players giggled at him.
"Detention for being a smart ass, next Wednesday" he eventually replied before beginning to pass out simple worksheets.
Dinah watched as her twin held a thumbs up to herself and the new vampire, Stefan- and couldn't help but wonder what she was doing. Oh yeah, winging it. Dinah smiled softly at Diana somewhat amused about and entirely grateful for her sibling being a deviant.
Stefan looked from Elena to them, from them to Elena. Never noticing Matt notice with disdain.
CW made the school days look so quick and easy. They were not. With it being the first day- she found herself lugging a fat ass load of homework in her arms as she exited the last class heading towards one person only. Tyler Lockwood.
Dinah had decided he would tell her the truth about what happened in the cafeteria. Whether he liked it or not. Even if it meant sicking her twin on him which he knew better than most wasn't a fate he wanted. Nobody wanted to be on either one of their bad sides. Something their classmates learned pretty quickly. From Diana getting away with poisoning a girl in the 3rd grade, to Dinah pushing Caroline off a bridge once after a disagreement on a field trip. They had good guilt and morals but everyone does things without care sometimes.
She wished she could do that- and just not care about the homework. Who dies and has to learn how to shit, dress, walk, etc, and go through high school all over again? If it wasn't for Diana, Dinah would have thought she was in hell.
While Dinah confronted her boytoy- Diana ate up her romance with Jeremy.
Completely unexpecting as the wrath of Vicki Donovan hit.
"Hey, Hendrix Whore!"
They pulled apart from their affections against Diana's shared Porsche, both affronted and confused only to see the Donovan girl approaching. She was clearly high as fuck with sunglasses on and slurring motions.
"Fight me!" Vicki declared her intentions, throwing her belongings on the floor and literally squaring up.
Diana blinked.
Once, twice.
"You're lucky my sister isn't here, Ugly Betty" Diana sneered suddenly with a douse of evil she hadn't channeled in years "I'm not gonna fight you while you're coked out. If you don't turn the fuck around and stop making an ass of yourself, instead- I'll smack you so hard you pass out. And as of right now I'm gonna be telling Matty that if you don't get your act together, I'm snitching to the sheriff about how bad things really are for y'all at home."
Now it was Vicki's turn to look shocked. The crowd that had begun to form veered away having realized it was a junkie vs one of The Bitchy Twins.
And now awkward silence rang out through the parking lot as everyone watched the mess of a girl gather her things and stomp away crying.
"That was so hot" Jeremy couldn't help but say, holding her belongings up so he could wrap her in a hug and kiss her forehead "why did she want to fight you?"
Diana gave pause, wondering that herself.
"Probably something to do with her trying to bang you and Tyler. Since myself and Dinah accomplished that instead."
Jeremy snorted.
"Speaking of Di" He started, looking around a bit "where is she?"
Cursing her fucking luck is where she was.
Trying to cut the conversation off and get back to her twin so they could go home was next to impossible. Knowing he'd be over later for COD with Stefan and Diana made it worse. She found herself regretting even bringing it up. So much so that she actually rewound time and took back the event. Instead telling Tyler she just wanted to kiss him before she headed home to take a nap.
Walking out to the green, three-seater, classic of a vehicle- Dinah felt like she was going to be sick. All she knew was...when she got home she had a date with her mother's most expensive bottle of wine and a piece of cake.
Jeremy and Diana were already waiting in the car with the AC on high and oldies blasting from the radio. Dinah sighed and slumped in beside Jeremy, slamming the car door unintentionally.
"I roasted the shit out of Vicki because she came up trying to fight me," Diana said as if it was the greatest thing ever, turning the key in the ignition and putting her foot to the pedal.
"I...I had a weird day too" Dinah was at a loss for words, only wishing they didn't have to drive Jeremy home so that she could spill the beans about her newly discovered ability.
It seemed between Diana somehow already knowing, herself somehow rewinding time, and Stefan coming over later- they'd have to discuss things with their mother. Get some answers. Maybe even find out why Diego hates Hank so much- Dinah thought with feverish emotion.
"Drive a little safer, remember what happened last time we were this reckless?" Dinah hissed as Diana ran a red light and zoomed her way straight to the Gilbert residence on Maple street.
Jeremy wasn't phased in the least but he agreed with Dinah nonetheless, not wanting them all to die the way his parents did.
Suddenly remembering- his lady love slowed down just in time to dip around a corner and hit their destination. That had been what, a five-second car ride? Dinah snorted at her own sibling's attitude towards life.
It was as admirable as it was idiotic sometimes- in one life and the next.
