Emily grabbed her black leather jacket and her matching purse that laid on the back of the couch and was about to walk out the door with Jenna when her sister came walking down the stairs with a weird look on her face. Emily rose an eyebrow at her sister in question.

Elena walked down the stairs and walked in front of the two women, "Jeremy's got his sketch pad out," Elena exclaimed with a small smile.

Emily looked at her sister with a bright smile, "are you serious?" Jeremy hasn't had his sketch pad since the car accident. This was a sign that he was getting back how he was before the accident, when he was happy.

Elena smiled at her sister, "dead serious." Elena shook her head, "but don't say a word. The minute we encourage him, he'll put it away."

Jenna pointed at Elena, "psychology major. Check that!" Jenna grabbed her purse from beside her and asked Elena, "you and Stefan? Update?"

Elena sighed and shrugged her jacket on, "he knows how I feel and where I stand and I know where he stands but it doesn't matter." Elena looked over at her sister with a sad expression, "he's leaving, moving away." Emily gave her sister a small smile. She felt bad that Stefan was just going up and leave town when Elena really liked him, Emily knew the feels were mutual but Emily knew Stefan didn't want Elena to get hurt.

Jenna looked at Elena softly, "where is he going?"

Elena opened the front door and held it open for Jenna and Emily before answering, "I stop asking questions. The answers got scary."

Jenna looked back at her two nieces on the porch with a sigh, "yours leaves, mine returns."

Emily groaned, "please tell me you're joking."

"Logan?" Elena questioned.

Jenna shook her head at her oldest niece and walking made her way down the steps before explaining, "he's back." Emily and Elena groaned at the same time with a disgusted facial expression. Jenna quickly spoke up, "I didn't let him pass the front door."

"I hope you slammed it in his face," Elena commented.

Jenna shrugged, "ah, medium slam."

Emily shook her head in disappointment, "he doesn't deserve you, Jenna. No more scum in your life."

"Three strike rule, Jenna." Elena told her aunt, "you're not even aloud to watch the news."

Jenna nodded her head in agreement with her two nieces, "exactly. No more Logan "Scum" Fell."

Emily smiled proudly at her aunt and wrapped her arms with Jenna's, "that's right. Time to find you a new man that actually deserves you." Jenna shook her head at the oldest Gilbert and chuckled.


Emily, Elena, and Bonnie were walking through the hallways of Mystic Falls High School when something caught their attention, more like two people. It was Matt and Caroline being super close with each other.

Elena looked at the duo confused and questioned the two girls at her side, "did I miss something?"

"They've been hanging out," Bonnie explained.

"Kind of weird, don't you think?" Elena questioned.

Emily shrugged, "I think he's good for Caroline. Someone that actually cares for her."

Bonnie nodded in agreement, "instead of a homicidal vampire like Damon."

Emily looked over at the Bennett witch in worry, "how have you been dealing with everything?" Emily was worried about the dark haired girl since the whole finding about vampires and of course being attacked.

"I'm freaked out," Bonnie stated. "Damon attacked me. I could be dead right now." Bonnie glanced over to Elena, "but I'm also grateful."

"Hmm?" Elena mumbled.

"To Stefan," Bonnie explained to the younger Gilbert twin. "He saved my life and…" Bonnie trailed off before asking carefully, "have you seen him?"

Elena pulled her locker open before throwing her scarf in and sighed, "not since he told me he was leaving." Elena mumbled, "for all I know, he's already gone."

Emily leaned against one of the grey lockers and gave her sister a pointed look, "come on, Lena. he's not just going to leave without saying bye. He's only doing this so you won't get hurt."

Elena huffed, "that's the problem, he thinks he's protecting me. Clean break and all that."

"So, what are you going to do?" Bonnie questioned Elena.

"What am I supposed to do?" Elena mumbled. "I already begged him not to go. If I ask again, I'm being selfish. It is what it is."

The three girls began walking through the hallways once again before Bonnie tried to console her best friend, "maybe it's for the best."

Elena came to sudden stop and looked at Bonnie confused, "what? Why?"

Bonnie shrugged softly, "I mean, what kind of future could you have had with him, even if he stayed?"

Before Elena could respond a banner that was hung in the middle of the hallway. The three girls glanced down at the banner, and it read, 'The Promise of your Future'. Elena looked over at Bonnie and mumbled, "did you just?"

Bonnie quickly shook her head, "no, I swear."

"Oh, God," Elena huffed. She lifted up the blue banner and quickly walked away. Emily sighed and looked over at Bonnie with a sad expression before the two girls quickly followed after the confused and sadden Elena Gilbert.


Once the final bell rang for the end of the day, Emily and Elena made their way to the oldest Gilbert's car. But before they could make it to the parking lot, Emily spotted a familiar someone she hasn't seen a few days. Emily nudged her sister's shoulder and pointed with her head to the younger Salvatore who was sitting on one of the many red tables around the school.

When the two girls got closer, Stefan suddenly stood up and spoke softly, "hi. We need to talk." The two nodded their heads and listened quietly while Stefan explained what he had found out from the sheriff this morning.

"So, you have no idea who it could be?" Elena questioned after a moment.

Stefan shook his head, "none." Stefan glanced at the two girls and continued, "it must be somebody new because leaving a body like that, they're either sloppy or they're trying to send a message."

"Are you positive it's not Damon?" Emily questioned. You never know what Damon will do, he's unpredictable.

"Well, I'm never sure about Damon," Stefan told Emily before continuing, "but he's been trying to keep a low profile lately, so it just doesn't make any sense to me."

Emily stood up and crossed her arms over her chest. "Did you have a plan?" Emily asked.

"Damon's tracking them right now," Stefan told Emily. He then stood up and turned to Elena, "look, I promised you the truth so I wanted to tell you." Stefan glanced between the two girls with a soft expression, "I want you to be careful, both of you."

Elena stood up also and nodded her head. She spoke up after a moment softly, "when I saw you… I thought you were coming to say goodbye."

Stefan glanced at two girls that he cared so much about, but didn't want to get hurt because of him and his brother. He looked away from the two girls and mumbled, "not yet."


Emily and Elena were carelessly walking around the Career Night that Mystic Falls High School was hosting. Emily already knew which direction she wanted to go in for her future. She wanted to follow her father's footsteps and be a doctor. Ever since she was a child, being a doctor has always been her dream. Emily was always more like her father than her mother, maybe that's why she wanted to be a doctor or she wanted to make her parents proud of her.

Suddenly Elena pulled Emily into a certain direction and Emily saw they were heading straight towards the alone Matt Donovan. "Still wanna be an astronaut?" Elena asked her ex boyfriend with a small smile.

Matt chuckled, "I can't believe you remember that."

Emily smirked, "how could we not. Little Matty with his tinfoil on his head."

Matt groaned in embarrassment, "I was eight," Matt mumbled with a tint of pink on his cheeks.

Elena questioned Matt carefully, "how are you doing?"

Matt didn't answer for a few minutes before looking away, "I've had it easier." Matt stared at his ex girlfriend and asked softly, "you?" When Elena looked at him confused, Matt explained, "I heard some things." Elena didn't say anything, so Matt continued, "so it's true that you and Stefan…" Matt trailed off.

Elena avoided eye contact and huffed, "yeah, it is."

Noticing the awkward air that suddenly took place in the room, Emily smirked over at Matt, "I heard something about you, Matty." Emily paused for dramatic effect and mumbled two words, "Caroline Forbes."

Matt groaned, "please don't gang up on me like Tyler does."

Emily smirked, "why do you think we're best friends? We like to gang up on you, Matty."

Before Matt could respond, someone had walked into the doorway. The trio glanced over to the door, and saw Stefan standing there staring at the old friends. Emily looked over at Matt and gave him a small smile, "we'll see you later, astronaut boy."

Emily grabbed her sister's arm before the two Gilbert sisters followed after Stefan who made his way to the a quiet spot in the hallway that was busy with people talking and walking around. Elena leaned against the wall and mumbled, "I guess you're not here to plan the path for your future." Elena paused before stating, "you're looking out for us."

"Hope that's okay," Stefan stated while looking directly at Elena.

It was silent for a long awkward moment so Emily decided to actually do something instead of just standing there with the distant couple. Emily moved towards one of the booths and it so happened to be a booth about being a doctor. Emily had a small smile move on her face, thinking about her father. Elena and Stefan moved towards the booth after a moment and Stefan stated, "you know, I wanted to be a doctor before everything happened, but, uh, then I couldn't, cause…" Stefan trailed off. Emily felt bad for Stefan, that he couldn't live out his dream as a vampire because he was turned.

"The blood," Elena finished for the vampire.

Stefan nodded, "yeah." He grabbed one of the pamphlets and stated, "I've dabbled in a bunch of other things, though."

"Didn't love anything enough to stick with it?" Elena questioned.

Stefan shook his head, "No, I loved it all. I just… I had to move on before anybody could notice that I wasn't getting any older."

"How long before that would happen?" Emily questioned, curious about how long she would actually be friends with younger Salvatore brother, if he did decide to stay in Mystic Falls.

"Few years, usually," Stefan answered. "Sometimes shorter."

Elena finally looked up at Stefan for the first time, "and you always left?"

"I didn't have a choice," Stefan answered simply.

Noticing the tension with the broken couple, Emily quickly spoke, "I'm going to go look for Caroline. I'll see you guys later," Emily smiled before walking out of the room. Emily knew the couple needed a few minutes alone, she hoped they would work out. Stefan needed to realize even he thinks he protecting Elena, that we are already in the vampire world, we will always be in some type of danger now.

Emily began looking for a favorite blonde but didn't get the chance to look everywhere because not even three minutes later, Emily's aunt came rushing towards her. Emily rose an eyebrow at her aunt in confusion but Jenna didn't say anything. She quickly grabbed Emily's arm and pulled her into a room, which happened to be the one she just came from.

"Hide me," Jenna mumbled once she found her other niece.

Emily finally freed her arm from her aunt and looked at her confused, "why? What's going on?"

"The scum Fell has landed," Jenna explained in a whisper.

Emily groaned, "seriously? What does Logan want now?"

Stefan looked at Emily in shock, "wait, Logan Fell?"

Jenna sighed but nodded her head at Stefan. As soon as Jenna nodded her head, Stefan quickly fled out of the room in a hurry. Jenna looked at her two nieces confused as to why Stefan rushed out. But neither of the girls knew what to say, so the three left the room and went to the hallway where they found Stefan standing.

"Stefan, what's going on?" Elena questioned Stefan.

But before Stefan could reply, Logan Fell suddenly came up from behind Stefan and exclaimed when he saw the familiar strawberry blonde, "Jenna, are you dodging me?"

"It's a form of self preservation," Jenna stated with a straight face.

Stefan quickly turned to the Gilbert twins and stated casually but you could see the strain on his face. "Emily, why don't you take Elena and Jenna somewhere else?"

Emily saw Stefan's serious face, and understood right away. Emily turned towards her aunt with a fake bright smile, "they have this amazing section on psychology, let's see if you like any of the careers."

Emily began leading her two female family members to the opposite side of the school, and far away from Logan Fell. Emily suddenly stopped in realization. She quickly turned to Jenna and asked seriously, "what did Logan say when he came by last night?"

Jenna huffed, "fake flattery. Stupid, dimpled grin. Puppy dog eyes."

Realizing what her sister did, Elena quickly turned to Jenna, "we're serious, Jenna. How did he act? What did he say?"

Jenna looked at the two girls weirdly, "he was the usual Logan, was charming, a little more manic than usual." Jenna paused for a moment before continuing, "he kept trying to convince me to let him in." Jenna saw the two girls' eyes grow a size, "what?" Jenna asked confused.

Emily looked at her aunt serious, "I need you to stay away from Logan Fell. if he comes towards you, I want you to turn around and go the other way, okay? And no matter what, do not invite him inside our house."

Jenna looked at Emily confused, but trusted her judgement and nodded her head in understanding. Not even a moment later, someone spoke up from the three girls. "Hey, Emily, Elena." Mr. Saltzman spoke before turning to older woman with a small smile, "Jenna."

"Hi, Mr. Saltzman," Elena spoke to the history teacher politely.

Mr. Saltzman only had eyes for Jenna. He spoke with the same smile still on his face, "yeah, I was hoping to see you tonight."

"Career night is the new bowling," Jenna smiled at the cute history teacher.

Emily smirked when Mr. Saltzman laughed at Jenna's horrible joke. Emily grabbed Elena's arm and pulled her away from the two adults but not before raising her eyebrows at her aunt with a knowing smirk. Emily was definitely going to tease her aunt, but right now, she more important things to worry about.

When the two girls were far away from their aunt, Elena pulled Emily to a complete stop and questioned with a tint of anger, "did you know Logan was a vampire?"

Emily looked at her sister like she was crazy, "of course not. I just put two and two together like you did. I haven't been talking to Stefan since he was supposed to leave town."

Elena sighed and nodded before pulling her older sister out the side door, hoping to find Stefan and sure enough, he was standing outside on his phone. The two girls slowly made their way towards the younger Salvatore. Once Stefan hung up his cell phone, Elena growled, "anything you'd like to share?"

Stefan then began explaining everything he knew about the new vampire in town, who happened to be Logan Scum Fell. Emily sighed, when she got the truth, she was really hoping that Logan wasn't the vampire killing random people, but of course her luck isn't that good. Emily quickly walked back inside the school with Elena and Stefan trailing behind her. Emily wanted to know where Jenna was, or at least where Logan was. She needed to protect Jenna from the new vampire. Emily suddenly crossed paths with a familiar face. Emily grabbed Matt's arm and questioned, "have you seen Logan Fell?"

Matt nodded, "yeah. He just gave Caroline a ride home," Matt stated before continuing his walk down the hallway.

Emily looked over at Stefan with wide, scared eyes. Stefan squeezed Emily's hand softly and commanded the two girls, "stay here," before quickly walking through the hallway.

Elena looked at Stefan weirdly, not understanding the small jester he gave her twin sister but decided to let it go. Emily couldn't believe that Logan had the nerve to take Caroline Forbes. Emily was beyond worried about her blonde best friend. She didn't want Caroline to be dragged into this even more than she already was.

Emily couldn't stay still, so she and Elena moved to an empty room where she paced back and forth. After about fifteen minutes, Stefan quickly walked into the room. Once Emily saw Stefan's face and asked nervously, "Caroline?"

Stefan began walking with the two girls down the hallway before answering, "she's okay. I took her home. She was shaken up. But all she knows is Logan attacked her. Nothing else."

Emily sighed thankfully, "I'm going to go see her." Emily glanced over at her sister, "let me know when you get home." she then glanced over at Stefan, "be safe, both of you," before walking towards the parking lot.


It took Emily no longer than twenty minutes to make it to the Forbes house from Mystic Falls High School. Emily grabbed her black purse from the passenger seat before walking up to the door and knocking. A few moments later, a sleepy Caroline opened the door and saw her best friend. "What are you doing here?" Caroline asked shocked.

Emily gave the blonde a small smile, "I heard what happened with Logan, wanted to make sure you were okay."

Caroline opened the door widely so Emily could walk into the house before moving towards the living room. Once the two girls were seated, Caroline sighed, "I'm fine. Just a headache."

Emily nodded, "I wanted to come talk to my best friend. Since school started, it feels like I never see you anymore." Emily knew that was true, but it wasn't because of school. It was because of the whole vampire problems that have taken over Emily's life.

"I know right!" Caroline yelped with a chuckle. "I miss my best friend."

Emily smiled over at her best friend but then she smirked widely, "so what's going on with you and Matt?"

Caroline looked up at Emily with wide eyes and rosy cheeks, "w-what are you talking about? We're friends."

Emily rolled her eyes playfully, "oh come, Care. I see the way you look at him. You like him." Emily knew Caroline like the back of her hand. She always knew when Caroline liked someone, it was twinkle she got in her eyes.

Caroline sighed, knowing she couldn't hide anything from the oldest Gilbert. "Fine, I like him." Caroline looked down at her fingers that sat in her lap, "it doesn't though. He's still hung up on Elena."

Emily grabbed Caroline's hand so that her attention was only on her, "Elena is over Matt, you don't need to worry about her. Plus, Matt looks at you differently than he did with Elena. You bring a certain light to his life." Caroline looked up at Emily with skeptical expression, so Emily quickly added, "I've known Matt all my life, I know he likes you. Trust me."

Caroline smiled gratefully at her best friend. She jumped up from the couch with a wide smile, "how about movies like we used to do?" Once Emily nodded, Caroline began looking for a movie on the coffee table and found her favorite. Caroline showed Emily the cover, and of course it was The Notebook. Emily groaned inwardly but didn't say anything, she knew Caroline needed to feel better so she stuck it out.

Half way through the movie, Emily glanced over at Caroline and saw that she was sound asleep. Emily chuckled, stood up and grabbed the white blanket that was laying on the back of the couch. Emily threw it carefully over the blonde before writing a quick note for Caroline, to tell her to call me tomorrow.

Emily grabbed her black purse before quietly making her way out of the Forbes house. She was happy to spend sometime with the blonde and also just to have a normal night without having to deal with vampires or witches. But of course, as soon as Emily walked off the porch, her cell phone began to ring. Emily quickly grabbed her phone from her purse and looked at the screen and saw it was her twin sister. As soon as Emily answered her phone, all she heard was Elena crying. "Woah, woah, woah. Slow down, Lena. what's wrong?" Emily paused at the end of the steps, waiting to hear from Elena.

Elena took a deep breath before speaking quickly, "I look just like her!"

Emily scrunched up her face in confusion, "who?"

"Katherine!" Elena yelped, "she looks exactly like me!"

"Elena, I need you to calm down," Emily told her sister before quickly walking to her car. "Where are you?"

"I'm outside the Salvatore boarding house," Elena whimpered.

Emily quickly started her car and drove down the road, "I need you to go to the end of the driveway, I'm on my way. You shouldn't be driving."

"Okay," Elena whispered before hanging up the phone. Emily sighed, there goes her night of no vampires and witches. Emily didn't understand why Elena was freaking out, maybe this Katherine girl had the same eyes? She would have to ask Elena about. Her sister wouldn't just freak out over nothing.

About ten minutes later, Emily could see the shadow of her twin sister, sitting on the side of the road. Emily quickly pulled next to her, but before Emily could get out and help her sister, Elena quickly jumped into the car. Emily shrugged and began driving away. It was silent for a moment before Emily glanced over at her sister and saw her crying silently. Emily spoke carefully, "now, what happened?"

Elena took a deep breath and tried to explain without crying hysterically again, "Stefan had this black and white picture. It was Katherine, she looked just like me."

Emily glanced over at her sister, "what do you mean? Same hair? Eye color? Smile?"

Elena shook her head frantically, "no! It was like looking in a mirror. I look just like her. There was no difference!"

Emily looked over at her sister shock. What the hell was Stefan thinking? Did he think he could replace Katherine with Elena? There had to a mistake, there's no one she looks just like Elena. Emily was so occupied with her thoughts, that she didn't see a figure standing in the middle of the road.

"Emily!" Elena yelled.

Emily looked at the figure in shock. She quickly tried to move out of the way, but she wasn't quick enough. Emily ended up hitting the person that was in the middle of the road, causing her car to flip out of control. It felt like hours before the car stopped rolling, but in reality it was only a few seconds. Emily gasped with the car finally stopped rolling. She quickly glanced over at her sister who looked to be passed out. "Lena? Lena!" Emily yelled in worry, but she never did reply. Emily tried to take off her seatbelt, but it wouldn't budge. Emily looked around the car but couldn't find anything to help her, so she looked out the broken window. Emily's eyes widened when she saw the figure began to stand up. There was no way a person would be able to that. That was when Emily realized this was no person, this was a vampire.

The figure started to stalk towards the tipped over car. Emily tried to pull her seatbelt off again, but of course, nothing happened. Emily's breath started to come out uneven, she didn't want to die in a car. Especially after she survived one car figure was one foot away from the car, being the figure took off with vampire speed. At least, Emily knew she was right that the figure was a vampire. She sighed in relief, but not even a second later, a figure bent down her level. Emily screamed in fright, thinking this way going to be final moments.

"Hey, hey, hey. Calm down, it's Damon," the older Salvatore spoke softly.

Emily calmed down once she realized it was Damon Salvatore and not the new vampire, coming to kill her. Emily sighed gratefully, "you scared me."

Damon chuckled, "obviously." he looked closer at the older Gilbert and stated, "you look stuck."

Even though she was in a car upside down, Emily still rolled her eyes at the older Salvatore. "Obviously," Emily spoke in the same tone as Damon did. But then she remembered Elena, and quickly spoke, "get Elena first. She's not awake. Please make sure she is still alive," Emily begged.

Damon looked at Emily for a moment before quickly speeding towards Elena's door and slowly pried her out of her seatbelt and sat the younger Gilbert sister carefully beside the wrecked car. Damon made his way back around towards Emily and spoke, "now let's get you out here."

Emily shook her head, "is Elena okay?"

Damon looked up at Emily seriously, "she's fine. I checked. She's breathing." Once Emily nodded in acceptance, Damon commanded, "I need you to put your hands on the roof the car." when Damon saw that she listened, he quickly pulled on the seatbelt until it snapped in half and he quickly grabbed Emily and pulled her from the car.

Damon held up the oldest Gilbert by her waist and questioned, "can you walk?"

Emily nodded and tried to move towards Elena, but she quickly fell. Damon noticed that she was fading, he grabbed her before she could get a concussion from the hard ground. Emily was so worried about Elena, that she didn't even realize she was in any pain. Damon grabbed both passed out Gilberts and rushed away from the scene of the car accident.
