I know I said that the chapter before this was the end but this is like a sort of epilogue to find out how our characters ended up. Keep in mind that in my version, Jeremy's only 1 year younger than Elena. And I like my vampires to be able to eat things, okay? Enjoy!

Elena stepped out of the car. It had been so long since she last was in Fell's Church. It was on this day 10 years ago that she walked out of Fell's Church with Stefan. Now, she was finally back. Even though she hadn't seen the house in front of her in a decade, she remembered everything about it. The green roof, the white exterior, even the plants in the garden were all the same. Everything was the same. She shouldn't have been the same, after all, the last time she had been here was a few days after her 18th birthday. She should've been older now. But she wasn't. She still looked the exact same way she did 10 years ago. And she would look the same until the day she died. For she was the thing that her family hated the most. A vampire.

She walked up to the front door. It took her a bit of time before she finally worked up enough courage to ring the doorbell. As soon as she did, she regretted it. What if her mother answered and tried to kill her again? What if Jeremy answered and was angry at her for not visiting in 10 years? Just as she began walking away, the door opened. There stood a young man, no older than 30. He had brown hair and brown eyes to match. She couldn't believe it. This was Jeremy, her brother now 27 years old.

Stefan didn't know exactly what to expect when he walked up the stairs to the Boarding House. He had left Elena at her house and left her alone at her orders. He opened the unlocked front door. He honestly didn't know what he would see. A bloody rug? A group of sorority girls with their necks all bloody? A pile of empty blood bags? Whatever it was that he expected, it wasn't what he saw. In the living room, on the couch, was Damon, Bonnie sitting closely next to her. He held a small piece of chocolate by her mouth and she nibbled on it once it reached her mouth. Even stranger, Bonnie looked the exact same way he had last seen her 10 years ago. The same chocolatey brown eyes and red curls. She looked no older than 18.
"Damon? Bonnie?" They turned towards the entry way, finally acknowledging Stefan's presence.
"Stefan? So great to see you again little brother",Damon said. Bonnie waved at Stefan.
"You turned her",Stefan asked.
"Don't worry, Stefan. I chose to be one",Bonnie answered.
"Calm down, . Take a seat for a little while. Have some chocolate." Damon handed Stefan an Aero bar. Was his older brother really offering him a chocolate bar? Shrugging, he took the bar from Damon's hand and opened it. He took a bite. It was delicious. He might have well stayed. After all, it had been 10 years. And when would he see his brother this kind?

"Jeremy?"
"Elena! Come in!" She stepped through the entryway of the house. The interior was just like the exterior: the same way it was 10 years ago. The same wooden floor, the same soft green walls of the stairway. The same fireplace in the living room, even.
"Who's there, Jer?" A girl that looked about Jeremy's age stepped out from the living room. She had sweet-looking brown eyes and curly brown hair.
"Anna, this is my sister Elena. Elena, this is my fiancee Anna."
"Hi, Elena. Wow, you are as pretty as Jeremy said you were",Anna said.
"Thanks",Elena replied. Anna looked like a nice girl, there was a big chance that she was too. Suddenly, two people came through the door. Elena turned around and couldn't believe who she saw: Meredith and Caroline.

After about 2 hours or so of catching up, Elena got up. She hugged her friends, brother, and her soon-to-be sister-in-law. Just before she left, someone called her name.
"Elena?" Elena turned around. Behind her wasn't Jeremy, or Anna, or even Caroline or Meredith. It was someone she thought hated her. It was Miranda, her mother.
"Mom?"
"Elena...I...I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the way I treated you 10 years ago. You have no idea how much regret I've had ever since. It was because of me that you died. It was because of me that you turned into a vampire and left Fell's Church for 10 years. It was all my fault and I'm sorry Elena." Miranda walked up to her and hugged her? Elena at first felt a bit awkward before she realized that this was her mom. She hugged back as tightly as she could. It had taken 10 years but her mother finally forgave her.

Soon enough, Elena was in yet another place with Stefan. She was in New York City. She was surprised that she hadn't gone to NYC earlier but she knew why. She had spent the last 10 years trying to stay as far away from Fell's Church, Virginia as much as possible. So, she traveled throughout Europe, Australia, Asia, South America, and even Africa. Throughout those 10 years, Meredith had gotten married to Alaric Saltzman, a guy she met during one of her classes at Duke University. Caroline had met and fallen in love with a true opposite, a werewolf named Tyler Lockwood. Bonnie had turned into a vampire to be with Damon forever. Elena had missed a lot. But now that her mother had forgiven her, Elena could finally explore the rest of the U.S with Stefan by her side.

While walking through Central Park, Elena's hand tangled with Stefan's, she saw a head of golden hair just like hers.
"Stefan, look." He looked where she was pointing and saw the same golden hair. Elena let go of Stefan's hand and approached the girl. She tapped on the girl's shoulder. The girl turned around and found herself staring at her exact double. Katherine.
"Katherine",Elena finally managed to say.
"See, Elena? I told you we would meet again. And I always keep my promises." Elena was surprised to find herself actually hugging Katherine. This one girl was the one person she ever met that understood her completely. Letting go, she looked into Katherine's eyes which were the exact same as her eyes. It actually felt good to see Katherine again.

Elena looked out the window of their hotel room. The city before her was huge and filled with all types of nooks and crannies, unlike her hometown. Stefan came up behind her and put his arms around her.
"What are you thinking about",he asked her. He knew what it meant when she looked out the window.
"Just thinking about the fact that my little brother's getting married next month."
"Well you are too this August",he replied.
"What?" She looked up at him.
"Elena, we've spent 10 years together and-"
"No need. My answer's yes."
She felt him sigh with relief. Her friends were happy, her brother was getting married, and she was too. Even better, her mother finally forgave her. It had taken a while, but Elena could finally get started with her real forever, Stefan eternally by her side.

I know that Anna's a vampire and dead but I want her to be human in this version. There will be one more update after this but, it'll be a "missing chapter" from the original story that I took out because I couldn't find a place for it, but it was in the original draft! I hope you liked the Epilogue! Reviews extremely appreciated!
