Elena Gilbert was a typical teenager until her world was turned upside down when her parents were tragically killed in a car accident on old wickery bridge. Since then, Elena and her younger brother, Jeremy have been living with their aunt Jenna ever since. Both brother and sister struggled to cope with grief. Jeremy starts to go off the rails and although Elena tells everyone she is fine, her best friend Bonnie knows differently. Then the mysterious Stefan Salvatore arrives and her life changes for ever. It is clear that the pair has inexplicable attraction to one another. But as you know, life in mystic falls is never straightforward. Elena begins to suspect that Stefan is hiding a dark and dangerous secret when she discovers footage of him from 1953 – looking exactly like he does today! Stefan finally admits what he really is.
