Remember its a Continuing of Pilot. Oh! And I only own Aurora AKA "Rori" and if your wondering what Aurora looks like, I picked to base her off of Victoria Justice because she looks ALOT like Nina Dobrev who plays Elena. :3
Tanner's class was the most boring class I have been in all day. He was discussing the confederacy or something like that. But all I know is that my head and this desk are becoming the best of friends. "Once our home state of Virginia joined confederacy in 1861, it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state. People in Virginia's northwest region had different ideals than those from the traditional deep south. Then Virginia divided in 1863 with the northwest region joining the union..." Tanner lectured on. I wish he would just shut up. I mostly just laid my head on the desk or doodled crows all over my notebooks. Slowly, I picked my head up and glanced over at Elena, who kept looking over at the new kid. I'm guessing hes new because I personal never seen him before. I quickly looked over at Bonnie and mouthed "WOW" at her. She mouthed back "I KNOW" and pulled out her cell phone. Elena, who was still sneaking glances at the new guy, finally looked over at us. When Tanner's back was turned, I started to act like her and pretended to faint. Elena just shook her head at me, trying not to laugh at my actions. Tanner turned back around and caught the end of my act. "Aurora." I quickly sat up and faked a frown. "Sorry Mr. Tanner." He just rolled his eyes at me and turned back around to the board. I waited a couple of minutes before pulling out my cell phone and texting her, "Wipe ur face, u droolin" Elena looked at her phone then glared at me. Oh family fun.
After school, me and Elena headed to our favorite place. The Cemetery. I know it sounds weird but we liked how quiet it was. It was just us and the dead. I walked around the gravestones, running my fingertips against the cool marble tombs as Elena wrote in her diary. Letting out a sigh, I smiled leaning over my sisters shoulder. "Watcha writing, luv." She looked up at me then back to her diary. "I'm writing about my day." I was about to ask her to read it to me but then a crow appeared on our parents gravestone. We stared at it and I smiled a bit, staying up. Elena, on the other hand, wasn't to happy with the pretty bird. "Okay. Hi, bird. That's not creepy or anything. Shoo!" She yelled at the crow, making it fly away. "That's what I thought. " I turned and glared at her. "Elena. Why did you do tha-" Just then the crow came back and fog started to ascend around the cemetery. We looked around at the cemetery till our eyes landed on a man is standing behind a tomb. It felt like one of my many dreams. I felt a pull too. Like something was pulling me to him. I was about to step closer to shadowy figure to get a better look but Elena grabbed a my hand before I could do anything. She started to run off pulling me away from him. I looked back to see a glance of him before disappearing into the fog. "Elena! S-Slow down!" I yelled as we ran but before she could, she tripped and fell, bring me down with her. Ugh, my head. Again. "You guys okay?" We heard a voice as we slowly got up and saw the new boy standing there.
I looked back at the cemetery and frowned. I wanted to finally meet the guy from my dreams. Sigh. While I was pouting, Elena looked up at the new guy and cocked her eyebrow. "Were you following us?" Wait. Stalker? I spun my head back around and glared at him. He looked at me then back at Elena. "No, I-a, uh, I-a just — I saw you guys fall." Me and Elena shared a "I call Bullshit" look with one another. "Uh-huh, and you just happened to be hanging out in a cemetery." I said crossing my arms looking back at him. "I'm visiting. I have family here." Oh. Of course..That's what you do in a cemetery. I mentally facepalmed. Elena stared at him as I rubbed the back of my head, feeling stupid. "Oh. Wow. Tactless. I'm sorry. It's the fog, It's making me foggy." I said sighing. Elena nodded her head in my defense. "And then back there, there was this - this bird, and it was all very Hitchcock for a second. That is the bird movie, right, the Hitchcock? . . . I'm Elena." She finished and smiled at him. I quickly spoke up after her."And I'm Aurora. But my friends call me Rori." He nodded his head at us. "I'm Stefan." "I know. We have History together." She said to him. I started to zone out after they started to talk about school and his ring. I looked over my shoulder, feeling eyes on me. "Rori, did you hurt yourself?" I shook my head, looking back over at them. "Hmm?" "Did you hurt yourself?" I shrugged my shoulders and pulled up my pant leg. "Well damn." I chuckled, seeing a cut gushing blood. Elena looked at it then up at me. "Oh! Would you look at that. That is not pretty." All I said was nope then looked at Stefan, who had his back to us. "Are you okay?" I said to him as I rolled up my other pant leg. Elena hear me groan a tiny bit as I moved my leg, making her turn around to face me. "Really kid, its nothing." I said looking at my leg then I looked up to find Stefan was gone. Elena turned to look and kinda frown. "He has to be a ninja, Elena."
When we got home, Elena took me into the bathroom to help me clean out the cut. I sat on the edge of the tub and Elena started the water. "Rori?" I hummed, answering her as she grabbed the showerhead and started to let the warm water hit my leg. "Do you want to come with me to meet up with Bonnie at the Grill tonight?" I simply shrugged my shoulders. Don't get me wrong, I love Bonnie but if shes there then that means Caroline is there and I don't wanna deal with her. "Nah, Lena. I think I might stay home tonight. Draw something or hang with Jer." She smiled at me, saying okay, handed me the showerhead and got up to get ready. She knows how I feel about Caroline and plus my leg is killing me. I washed off the dry blood and watched as it mixed into the water. It was like the movie Psycho, just no screaming lady. After washing off my leg, I wrapped it and headed down stairs. "I'm meeting Bonnie at the grill." I heard Elena say to Aunt Jenna. "Okay, have fun. Wait, I got this. Don't stay out late, it's a school night." I sat down on the last step and chuckled at them. Aunt Jenna was trying and failing and to me, it was funny. "Well down, Aunt Jenna" I said fake clapping at her. She smiled then looked at me. "Your not going, Rori?" I shook my head, "Nah." Just then, Elena open the door to see her stalker boy.
"Sorry, I was about to knock. I wanted to apologize for my disappearing act earlier. I know it was . . . strange." Stefan said looking a bit embarrassed of his actions. He should be, I mean hes a grown man scared of blood. "No worries. I get it, blood makes you squeamish." Elena said to him with a soft smile on her lips. "Um, something like that." I slowly stood up and limped over to the door. "Hey." I said looking over at Stefan as I leaned against Elena. "Hey, How's your leg?" He looked down at my wrapped leg. I shrugged slightly before speaking, "Oh, it's fine. Just a scratch, barely. How did you know where we lived?" Stefan looked like he was thinking on a answer. Again, Stalker. "It's a small town. I asked the first person I saw. Um, Elena, I thought you might want this back. " Then he handed my sisters diary back to her. She looked down at it then shot me a glance. I shrugged my shoulders once more and smiled. I knew when it was time to go. I quickly kissed my sisters cheek and said goodnight to Stefan before limping back to my bedroom. Once back in my room, I changed into my PJ's and sighed. I sat down on my bed and looked at my wall that was full of drawings of shadowy figures and crows. Slowly, I stood and walked over to the wall. 'A Dream or Reality' I thought as I touched a picture. It was a drawing of a figure and all you could see was the figures piecing blue eyes. I smiled and moved back to my bed then snuggled under my blanket after shutting the lights off.
"The Battle of Willow Creek took place right at the end of the war in our very own Mystic Falls. How many casualties resulted in this battle? Ms. Bennett?" Mr. Tanner Lectured. I couldn't keep my eyes open as he started to call on people. Starting with Bonnie. "Um . . . a lot? I'm not sure. Like a whole lot. " Bonnie replied shrugging her shoulder slightly. I chuckled a bit at her answer. Tanner sighed. "Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Ms. Bennett. Mr. Donovan? Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?" The class looked over at Matt to see if he would answer. Please-"It's okay, Mr. Tanner, I'm cool with it." -Damnit. Guess its our turn. Tanner looked at me and my sister. "Hmm. Gilberts? Surely one of you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significantly historical events?" I leaned back against my chair as Tanner gave me a evil glare. I shrugged a tiny bit. "Don't know, Sir." Then he turned to Elena. "I'm sorry, I-I don't know." Elena replied. He let out a sigh, getting a bit annoyed with the class. "I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, girls. But the personal excuses ended with summer break." I glared at him as he said that. How dare he. I was about to speak up till I was cut off. "There were 346 casualties. Unless you're counting local civilians." We all looked back at Stefan. "That's correct. Mister. . .? " Wow, smart and hot. Nice. "Salvatore." Tanner leaned against the front of his desk, eyeing Stefan up. "Salvatore. Any relation to the original settlers here at Mystic Falls?" Stefan nodded his head saying, Distant. "Well, very good. Except, of course, there were no civilian casualties in this battle." He shook his head at Tanner, "Actually, there were 27, sir. Confederate soldiers, they fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons. They were wrong. It was a night of great loss. The founder's archives are, uh, stored in civil hall if you'd like to brush up on your facts. Mr. Tanner." And with that the class went quiet. Elena and I shared a look before looking at Stefan. I smirked at him and gave him a rock on symbol. This guy was alright in my book.
Party time! I got to the party and headed over to find the drinks. I don't drink a lot but when I see a drink...I want it. I quickly grabbed my lovely beer and walked out of the crowd of people, to see a lonely Stefan all well...alone. "Hey you made it here! Elena is going to be so happy." I laughed walking over to him. He smiled at me happily. "Hopefully she will be. How are you and your leg?" I looked down at my leg that was still wrapped from yesterday. Shrugging slightly, I replied. "It's sore but I'm a tough girl, I'll manage. As to how I am..well I'm fine I guess." "Well that's good to here and if you ever need to talk, I'm here." I simply smiles at him. He was really sweet. My sister better like him, damnit. "Well thank yo-" "Hey! You made it!" Caroline yelled, interrupting me. I knew I smelled a blonde devil. "I did." Stefan said looking at her then back at me. I tried to hide my reaction of being interrupted but it was no uses. I was pissed. Caroline quickly nudged me out of the way and grabbed a hold of Stefan's arm. "Come on lets get you a drink." And with that she dragged him away from me. I swear I hear her say something else but it was quiet. Bitch.
Later that night I was sitting down with Bonnie as Elena and Stefan spoke. I was leaning my head on her shoulder thinking away. "Whats on your mind?" I heard Bonnie's voice. 'A lot is on my mind', I thought as I picked my head up to look at her. "I don't know. You tell me, you're the psychic one." "Right, I forgot. Okay, so give me a sec. Grams says I have to concentrate." Bonnie said smiling at me proudly. I made a small snort noise then took a sip of my beer. "Your missing your crystal ball." After I said that, Bonnie gave me a small glaring look before we both broke out into laughter. As we started to calm down, I pasted her my beer and our hands touched. All of the sudden, Bonnie started to space out on me. After a short while she came back to her senses, and abruptly pulls her hand back away from mine, almost spilling my beer. "What was that?" I said to her, putting my beer down in the grass. "That was weird. When I touched you, I saw a crow." I froze in my spot. Did she just say."A W-What?" Bonnie looked at me, kind freaked out herself. "A crow. There was fog, a man. I'm drunk. It's the drinking. There's nothing psychic about it. Yeah? Okay, I'm gonna get a refill." She got up from the grass and quickly went to the bar.
I leaned back against the tree behind me in shock. How did she know about my dreams? How did she even think up things like that? She hasn't been in my room as of last, has she? I kept on asking myself those questions till I was snapped out of my thoughts of someone screaming. "Vicki!" Wait. Jeremy?! "Someone help!" Elena! I quickly got up and ran over to their voices as fast as I could. I pushed through the crowd till I got to them. Moving over to Elena's side I stared down at the body of Vicki Donovan, Mattie's sister. Matt was in full panic/brother mode."Someone call an ambulance!" He yelled to the group. Elena quickly called them. I turned to the group of people and yelled. "Hey! Everyone back up, give her some space!" Tyler nodded his head at me and ordered the on side of people to back up. "Vicki. Vicki, come on. Open your eyes, look at me!" I listen to Mattie beg to his sister to wake up. God, It reminded me of all the times in the hospital, praying and begging for Elena to wake up. I grabbed a hold of Elena's hand and squeezed it slightly. Its going to be a long night.
I went to the Mystic Grill with Bonnie and Caroline. After hours of being asked questions, I needed coffee. I did, although, feel kinda bed leaving Elena and Jer there but I just couldn't take it. I sat right by Bonnie's side and across from Caroline. "Are you sober yet?" I heard Bonnie ask Caroline as I took a sip of my coffee. Her let a quiet moaned 'No' from her lips. Okay, I feel bad for the Blonde Devil. Kinda. Not really. I pushed a new cup of coffee in front of her."Well Keep drinking. Bonnie has to take you home before she can go home herself." Caroline looked at the coffee then looked right at me, which is a first. "Why didn't he go for me? You know, how come the guys that I want never want me?" She started to whine. I looked over at Bonnie and raised my hands up, "I'm not touching that." Bonnie glared at me for a second before Caroline continued. "I'm inappropriate. I always say the wrong thing. And . . . Elena always says the right thing. She doesn't even try! And he just picks her. And she's always the one that everyone picks, for everything and if its not her then its.." she pointed at me. "Its Aurora because everyone likes the over sarcastic rocker girl type. And I try so hard, and . . . I'm never the one." Over Sarcastic rocker girl? Is that what she thinks of me? Now I actually feel bad for her. I mean if its not Elena that people like then its me. I don't get it though. Me and Elena are nothing alike. We don't even try to make people like us. It just happens. "It's not a competition, Caroline." I assured her but she just gave me a dirty look. "Yeah it is."
Bonnie sighed and left me with Caroline while she went to go pay the bill. As I took a long sip of my coffee, I glanced over at Caroline and she was just staring right pasted me with the smile dancing on her lips. I lowered my coffee from my lips and looked over, seeing who she was smiling at. The man made eye contact with mine. He had the most gorgeous blue eyes I have ever seen and a smile that could match. Wait. A smile. I quickly started to blush and turned around so I couldn't see him. Crap. Crap. CRAP! I, Aurora J. Gilbert, is so not going there! I mean I could, just to piss the blonde devil off but then Elena would get mad. I can't fall for him. Can't. Nope. I'm riding solo for now. No Relationship for me. Main relationship I need to think of is Elena's. I let out a soft groan and drank the rest of my coffee and stood up. I slid my arms into my leather jacket and quickly looked over at the man once more. He smiled at me again, making my knees want to gave way. 'Damnit..' I shot him a dark glare and fixed my jacket before walking over to Bonnie and telling her Goodnight. After that, I walked out to my car and saw a crow sitting on it. I tilted my head to the side and slowly reached for it. I was inches away when it flew off. Sighting, I got in my car and drove home for the night.
