Chapter 2: Surprises

Stefans POV - Mystic Falls

It's a Tuesday night, and as usual I was spending my evening writing in my journal.

Today's entry was a bit different, when I was at The Grill earlier, I saw something a bit strange.

A man about Tyler's age walked in, he looked off but I didn't think anything of it.

The man then walked over to the bar and requested something that was taken off the menu ages ago, when the bartender told him, he started to get upset, threatening the girl if he didn't get it.

After many times of demanding the bartenders finally decided to kick the man out since he was causing a disturbance but he refused to leave.

I wanted to help but stopped in my tracks once I saw the man motion his hands. In one hand gesture he sent the workers flying to the ground, and also a few chairs and tables.

My first thought was that he was a witch but the next thing he did stumped me.

The Grill started to fill with fog, outside grew dark and stormy, everyone panicking because the visability damished.

But after a few minutes, everything returned to normal and the man was nowhere to be found, the workers also realized that the cash registers were empty.

That man must've robbed them during the commotion.

I stuck around to investigate, Bonnie came by to help but she said who ever the man was didn't sound like a witch. Definitely weird.

I was still confused. If he wasn't a witch then what was he?

3rd POV.

Later that day Stefan returned home from The Grill to be met with Caroline inside the boarding house.

"Hey Stefan" Caroline cheerfully greeted as she walked through the front door of the Salvatore boarding house.

"Hey Caroline" Stefan greeted her, just not as cheerful.

Caroline noticed quickly "What's wrong?"

Stefan didn't know how to describe what he saw earlier, he didn't fully understand what was happened "Uh, just something that happened at The Grill earlier today" he explained.

Caroline paused "Well, what happened?" She asked.

"A guy showed up at The Grill earlier, around Tyler's age. He had these powers" Stefan paused as he remembered the moment from earlier.

"The whole Grill fogged up right after he 'magically' threw the workers to the ground" "Wait!" Caroline interjected quickly "Was Matt there? is Matt alright?"

Stefan nodded "Matt's fine.. he wasn't even working today, remember?"

Caroline nodded "Yeah right, sorry. Go on" "Bonnie said who ever this was couldn't have been a witch- witches don't work with weather, especially indoors" he replied.

"Weird. Do you think he could have been like a really, really strong witch?"

"No. Bonnie said it's definitely not a witch."

Caroline shrugged "Well I'm out of ideas, I mean, what else could it be?"

"I'll ask Damon to look around, maybe if we find something that belongs to the guy, Bonnie can track him" Stefan replied as he took out his phone and dialed Damon's number.

Caroline nodded "Okay. So how are you handling Damon dating Elena? I know that'd drive me crazy" she said, cautious of his feelings.

Stefan shrugged "I'm fine. Elena made her choice, I respect that" he replied "She makes him happy, and we all know happy Damon is better than the alternative" he said as Caroline nodded, knowing he was right.

"That's very selfless of you" Caroline smiled, hugging Stefan slightly "I'm sure you'll find another girl, soon" she replied but he shrugged.

"Yeah hopefully."

Caroline smiled, it was a nice moment for the both of them until they heard footsteps enter the room.

Damon walked in to see them hugging, he smirked and coughed loudly snapping their attention to him "Sorry to break you two love birds up but we have a problem" he interrupted.

They both glanced at each other then back at Damon before seperating the hug "What's the problem?" Caroline asked.

Damon looked at his brother "I think Stefan already told you" he replied.

"Yeah he did. wait, did you find out who the guy was?" "Sorta-"

"What do you mean sorta?" Stefan asked.

Damon shrugged "I found the guy trying to conjure up a hail storm, so I tried to confront him, and ended up- well- almost snapping his neck out of frustration" he joked, still having that smirk on his face.

Stefan sighed and Caroline face palmed herself "You killed him?" "Nice going Damon."

"What? You guys would've done the same thing if you saw this guy trying to go all God of Weather on Mystic Falls" Damon snapped.

Caroline sighed "Maybe Damon's right.. I mean, what if this guy was more dangerous than us?" "Yeah but we wanted Bonnie to track him, now how can we?"

Damon smirked once more "Maybe this will be useful" he replied, tossing Stefan a wallet that belonged to the man "you stole his wallet?"

Damon nodded "Yeah, because it has his ID and other personal items that will help find out more about this guy" he replied.

Stefans eyes widened "That's actually smart, especially for you" "You underestimate me, little brother" Damon smirked.

Caroline smirked as well "Give him some credit, there's more to him than just muscles."

Both brothers glanced at Caroline, she cleared her throat and grabbed her purse "Right, I'm gonna go. Good luck on this" she said, pointing to the wallet before walking out.

"Okay-" Stefan said as she left "So, you wanna go check out this mysterious guys house? If your not too busy with Elena?" He asked Damon.

Damon shook his head "No, she'll manage without me for a day. Besides, she has Bonnie and Caroline" he replied.

Stefan nodded and began searching through the man's wallet while Damon watched "So, anything? An address, phone number, gym membership?" He asked.

After a few seconds of searching, Stefan gave him a small nod.

"Something like that" Stefan replied while pulling out a driver's license "Great! What's the address?"

"184 birch street."

Damon scratched his head "Doesn't sound familiar, where's that?"

"Central City" Stefan replied, showing him the license.

"Where the hell is Central City?"

"Far."
