A/N: Okay I know I said I wasn't going to write anymore of this until I was finished Redemption but sometimes I just get things in my head and they will not leave me alone. This chapter was one of those things.
I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries. If you're reading...review. & enjoy. Hopefully.

"I've been watching your world from afar and I've been secretly falling apart"
I knew that night would come back to bite me in the ass. I just fucking knew it.
I've been around town for four months now doing the things I do best, terrorising the locals and following my baby-bro, hiding in the shadows. Darkness is my friend.
I've been following Stefan whose been quasi-stalking Elena, that girl is just so sad all. the. time. She spends most of her time holed up inside her house or at the graveyard from what I can tell. I decided to scare her a little today; what? It's not safe for young girls to be hanging around in graveyards. Besides, it was fun, I hid myself behind the gravestone when she ran away; she turned around but I don't think she could see me through the fog. Although I have to admit I laughed when she told Stefan that the fog was making her 'foggy'.
I get bored more often than not following Stefan around so eventually I just leave him to his own devices; I know he's here for her. He must be. There is no other plausible reason for him to be here at all. He knows nothing about the tomb; Katherine; any of it. So he's here for her and that's why that night is coming back to bite me.
If I'd known my brother was back at the same time I would never have made her forget; I would have kept her for myself. Made her mine; just long enough for me to rescue Katherine of course, but long enough for it to destroy my brother. I promised him an eternity of misery when we turned; I like to keep my promises and consider myself a man of my word.
Taking Elena from him would truly be a masterpiece in deceit. Not that she's technically his yet anyway; but after today's little scene in the graveyard you just KNOW she's going to be. Still I think I can work with this; it will be even better to take her from him after he's had a chance with her; after he's fallen in love with her. Idiot that he is, I know he's just using her to replace Katherine in his affections; not that I blame him really; I would have done the same thing if I hadn't been so captivated by her the night we met that I couldn't fucking think properly for 2 seconds.
No that's not right; I was not captivated. I am not captivated by anyone that is not Katherine. These thoughts are getting me nowhere; I'm going to go and pay a visit to my baby bro; let him know the bad-ass brother's back in town. This should be fun.
Always with the same questions; when did you get here? What do you want? Why are you here?
Who cares? I'd much rather talk about the good stuff. Like Elena. That gets him fired up a bit. He tells me that she's not Katherine. Well no shit Sherlock! I worked that out the second I met her. Almost. Okay it took me a couple of minutes but whatever.
I'm bored of this now so I rile him up a bit – idiot that he is he thinks he can take me on. But wherever you go people die man, baby bro is on fire tonight; what does he want a medal? Really, why the need to continually point out the obvious. I'm a dick but I'm not stupid.
I'm done with this now. It wasn't nearly as much fun as I thought it would be.
I've made my way to the Mystic Grill and I'm listening to a little Barbie lookalike whine on about boys not liking her when she mentions Elena. She must be her friend. This could be my way in. I'm inappropriate and I always say the wrong thing she says. Yeah, that makes two of us Barbie. The other girl tells her it's not a competition and she says yeah. It is. This girl is definitely my ticket into the game. I am ALL about the competition. So when her friend stands up I'm ready with my game face on. I give her a smile and I already know she's mine.
But not tonight.
Elena's Diary
Dear Diary,
The last couple of days have been strange; good but also strange. I met a boy, it sounds so cliché, he's the 'mysterious new guy' in town, he seems very astute, very observant and he is very pretty. Maybe this year really will be better.
We went to the back to school party at the falls, Vicki was attacked which was rather terrifying; Stefan and I talked and he told me that I wouldn't be sad forever. I told him a bit about Matt and I told him that it wasn't passionate with Matt. I want passion. I've been having those dreams still; that voice in my head; I still don't know who it belongs to or what it is saying but tonight when we talked about passion, it was like someone screaming in my head; you want passion. This is so stupid. Of course I do. Doesn't everybody?
The strangest thing is what happened with Bonnie, she keeps telling me that she's supposedly psychic but something happened tonight that made me actually consider it properly for the first time.
"When I touched you I saw a crow. There was fog. A man...it's just the beginning" she said. I mean that's creepy all on its own, right? What makes it more so is that yesterday when Bonnie drove me to school a crow hit her car causing her to swerve. At least I think it was a crow it all happened so fast. And then there was that crow at the graveyard, and all the fog, when I turned back I could have sworn I saw a man standing behind the gravestone. It was probably just my mind playing tricks on me but after what Bonnie said I'm kind of creeped out.
Great, just another thing to add to my growing list of problems; I'm being stalked by the bird of death.
