Stefan Salvatore walked in the house that he and his older brother Damon shared. It was left to them fully paid after their parents died a few years ago. People claimed it was a random accident but he and Damon knew better, it wasn't random or an accident and even though there is no proof, Stefan was determined that one day somehow he would uncover the truth.
But the mystery he was currently trying to uncover was who that girl was he had just seen? Even through the darkness he could see her eyes lit up like the sun, they shone through his very essence.
I have to know her, he then decides. Actually the moment he saw her standing up on the roof of that freaky house he had decided he had to find out who she was.
The reason he used the work 'freaky' to describe that place was because ever since he was a kid it had been empty, He and Damon used to joke around that it was haunted and nobody ever wanted to live there because there was bodies buried inside the walls and ghosts lurking in the basement.
"Stefan?" His brother's voice called from downstairs. He came back out of his thoughts and walked down to where his brother was occupying the living room, watching a football game.
As soon as Damon saw the look on his brother's face he just knew something had happened. There wasn't many times that Stefan had 'this' particular expression on his face and he knew from experience it had to do something with a girl.
"Where did you go?" Damon asked, a smile spreading across his face.
Stefan shrugged.
"Nowhere, just out for a walk"
Damon stood up from the couch that he had been sitting on, grabbed the remote for the TV, pushed pause and walked toward his younger brother.
"Uh huh" he muttered and looked Stefan up and down, noticing that he was deliberating avoiding looking at him in the eye.
"Look at me Stefan"
As he straightened his body and lifted his head up towards to meet Damon's eyes he knew it was a mistake. There wasn't much Damon couldn't tell just by looking at him.
"What?" Stefan demanded, after seeing the smirk upon his brother's face as if he knew what he was hiding.
"Okay so who is she?" Arms crossed, he teased.
Stefan tried to put on an innocent face but he knew it was a moment too late for this situation.
"I don't know what your talking about"
He was so busted.
"Don't even try to lie to me because as you well know it doesn't work. Now fess up bro"
Stefan sighed and walked toward the couch and sank down as if admitting defeat.
"I don't know…."
Damon came and sat opposite him since with Stefan's mumbling there was not much chance of him getting the whole situation by standing all the way over here.
"Oh come on.."
Stefan shook his head. "I'm serious.."
He took a deep breath and spilled the whole story which if he had admitted to himself wasn't much to tell.
"I did go for a walk and on my way back I crossed through that abandoned place near the woods, you know the one we used to joke about being haunted when we were kids?"
Damon's eyes went rigid.
"You what?" he said in disbelief.
"I… I crossed the yard on my way home and there she was."
His heart started beating extra fast just thinking about her. How could he be falling for someone he hasn't even met?
"Who was there?" Damon demanded.
Stefan wondered why he was acting so strange at this news. Where is the teasing and jokes that he had come to expect from his brother?
"What's wrong Damon?"
Damon shook his head as if battling with something he hadn't yet shared with him.
"Nothing. Go ahead, who did you see?'
Stefan stared at his brother for a moment before he spoke again.
"I'm not totally sure since it was dark and everything. She was standing on the roof of the house but I could see the moon shinning down on her and she looked like… an angel"
Stefan lowered his gaze toward the floor as he recalled the moment and blushed.
He had to meet her, otherwise not knowing is simply going to drive him insane.
"An Angel?" Damon rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath which sounded like "I doubt that" but Stefan couldn't be positive.
He felt childish and stupid admitting this to his brother so he attempted to change the subject.
"I'm.. going to go to bed, school tomorrow"
Damon nodded and watched his brother walk back upstairs with a look of suspicion.
He knew. He didn't know how but he knew. Trouble had landed in Mystic Falls yet again.

The next morning Stefan woke up bright and early surprising eager to get to school. He didn't know why but he had a feeling that today something was about to change, or had already changed but he didn't know how or in what way. But he just knew.
As he walked toward his locker he found Bonnie Bennett, his best friend gathering her books waiting for him as she always did in the mornings.
"Bonnie!" Stefan called out, as he walked over to her. It was only coincidental that they had side by side lockers, like a pair joined at the hip as they had been since they were kids.
"Hey Loser, what's that goofy grin look upon your face?" She smirked as he blushed. He knew he had to stop doing that as he was becoming way too obvious something was up.
"Shut up otherwise I'll expose your secret" Stefan laughed and imagined her silence as she would ponder his words.
After grabbing his books for class he closed his locker and started to walk away awaiting for her comeback to which he knew there would be none.
"Whoa, wait up a minute." Bonnie ran to catch up next to him as they trailed down the hallways toward homeroom.
He turned his head toward her and raised an eyebrow, "Yes, Ms Bennett?"
Suddenly she had turned all quiet on him so he stopped and looked at her.
"What do you know?" She whispered as if fearing someone would overhear them.
He shrugged, "Oh you know, I hear things.. I know people" and then suppressed a smile.
Bonnie grabbed his wrist and begged him not to tell anyone. The horror and sincerity in her voice and the expression of embarrassment in her eyes told him everything he needed to know.
He nodded to let her know that he wouldn't expose he secret, not to anyone.
"Thanks" she replied and gave a small smile as they resumed walking.
A few moments later they walked inside homeroom and found their usual seats toward the back of the room side by side of course.
"So what makes you so chipper this morning broody one?" Bonnie turned her head toward Stefan with a curious look upon her face.
It was obvious he was trying to hide whatever was going on but Bonnie has known him most of his life so there wasn't much she didn't already know about him.
"Don't even try to deny it. I know you Salvatore and you can not lie to me because I would see right through it. So give, confess you soul"
Stefan couldn't help but laugh at his best friend's comments as she was usually right in the end. They knew everything about each other and he couldn't have asked for a better friend.
"Well… last night.." He started to explain but then was scarcely interrupted by a knock at the door.
The teacher welcomed in the person on the other side of the door and Stefan would have fainted if he could because not only was this a new student coming into their class, but it was that very girl from last night, the one he couldn't get his mind off.
He tried to cover his head in his hands to hide himself but he knew it was too late because just then she had caught his eye.
He knew it was all over.
Yes this was the end of his life that he knew it. But whether or not that was a bad thing was something entirely.
