CHAYA'S POV
I got out of bed from underneath my warm and soft blue quilt, when I dropped out pf bed my feet made contact with the white tiger fur carpet. I scrunched the fur with my toes before standing up.
*BEEP*
I quickly made my way to my creamy coloured dresser across from my bed where my phone was lying.
I picked it up and when I did so I noticed it was a message from my best friend Marzia.
It said *Hey are u going to school today?*
I pulled out the keypad from my blackberry phone and replied *Yes, could you give me lift though?
While I was waiting I walked over to my creamy cupboard and pulled out my new black skirt but before putting it on I ripped the price tag off of it, then on it went.
I moved on to my white as snow draws on the other side on my mirror, I unfolded a white and purple top that was uneven due to the fact that it was longer at the end.
I then walked at a slow and steady pace over to my mirror and grabbed an elastic band from my draw underneath and tied my hair into a messy bun.
I didn’t bother applying any sort of make-up as my skin was a nice olive tan and was very soft so it wasn’t really necessary.
I tumbled down long wooden stairs with my phone in my hand still waiting for reply.
*BEEP* There it was only this time it wasn’t from Marzia it was from her older sister Caroline who is my Twin sister’s best friend. Part from Bonnie of course.
I peered down at the message and was kind of nervous to run into Caroline after reading you would be too.
*Are you seriously going to even bother coming to school, you missed practise! And so did Elena! Don’t ever bother showing your face on my team ever again unless you plan on apologising. Big time!*.
I couldn’t help myself from replying *wasn’t planning on joining this year anyways :P*.
*BEEP* There it goes again I looked down and it was Marzia, Thank god.
*Yeh sure, BTW you owned Caroline good she told me everything lol. But I do cheering and it won’t be the same without you* She whined.
*Yes well you’ll always have Caroline* I mocked.
*Yeh I guess I’m stuck with her, alright be there in 15 Xoxo*.
*Bye cya soon Xoxo* I Replied slipping my phone into my small black bag that I always took to school with me. Always.
When I reached the bottom of stairs I saw my twin sister who was older than me by 45 seconds.
She was wearing a bright red top, skinny black jeans and her favourite black and white converse shoes, Her brown hair was long. Longer than mine might I add.
I saw Jenna struggling to fit all of her books into her bag, “Toast, I can make toast” admitted.
“It’s all about the coffee Aunt Jenna” Elena reminded her while holding a green mug and I’m assuming she was trying to make some coffee.
“Is there coffee?” I asked as Elena and Jenna both looked up at me like they didn’t even know I was there they entire time.
“Oh hey Chaya” Jenna said giving me a small wave “Hey” Elena greeted me as we both exchanged looks when our drugie of a younger brother Jeremy came into the kitchen.
He had his black hooded jacket on but he didn’t have the hood pulled up, his large dark blue jeans and a light brown top underneath, and to top it off he was wearing dad’s old black boots that dad used to wear to work.
“Lena, can I have some coffee?” Jeremy asked and when Elena turned around to answer Jeremy swiped cup from her hand taking a sip before pulling out the bread from the cupboard.
Elena sighed before grabbing another and restarting the entire progress again.
“Ha. It’s the first day of school and I’m totally unprepared. Lunch money?” Jenna asked holding out twenty dollars in each hand.
Elena and I both politely rejected the money but Jeremy took not one but both of the notes before shoving them into his hoodie pockets.
“A number two pencil?” Jenna went on smiling at her own joke.
“Don’t you have a big presentation today?” Elena asked curious.
“Yeah I’m meeting with my advisor” Jenna looked down to her watch “At now crap!” She muttered.
“Just go we’ll be fine” I assured her smiling.
Her smile said ‘thank you’ as she left grabbing her back and tossing it over her back.
I looked up at Jeremy “Are you ok?” I asked.
“Don’t start” He said walking away while taking another sip of the coffee.
“Jeremy, please just talk to us” Elena pleaded chasing after to him.
“Seriously Elena I’m sick of the two of you always bothering me” Jeremy replied shooing her away.
“Are you kidding me?” I ran over to him angry “Elena check on the coffee or it might bubble over” I ordered and everyone knew to not argue when I was in a bad mood. All except Jeremy.
“What you want to talk too?” He asked.
“You think?” I retorted smacking the back of his head hard.
“Ow! Just leave me alone Chaya!” He said handing the empty mug to me then picking up his black bag he left with his hoodie over his head.
“You ok?” Elena asked coming back over with a concerned look on her face.
“I’m fine, I just” I paused “I’m fine” I finished with a fake smile.
*BEEP* I took out my phone with a huff, and read what Marzia had sent me.
*Out the front, come on*.
“Are you going with Marzia?” Elena asked.
“Yep” I replied.
“So am I and Bonnie is too” Elena informed me.
“Well come on let’s hurry” I said as we rushed towards the door I grabbed my black slip on shoes with golden sequins around the edges.
As we walked down the small steps of our house we noticed Bonnie was already in the car.
Bonnie had on her light blue tee, purple jacket it was a lighter purple than her beautiful sown scarf, dark blue skinny jeans and of course she had her black converse shoes.
Bonnie’s outfit was totally different from Marzia’s though, she had a black drippy shirt, blue ripped denim ¾ jacket, black leather tights and a black hat.
“Hey!” Bonnie squealed pouncing on Elena squeezing her waist.
“Bonnie” Elena sighed “Right sorry, Chaya!” Bonnie apologized before turning to me.
I hoped into the passenger’s seat next to Marzia and Elena slipped into the back with Bonnie.
The ride was quiet till Bonnie spoke up
So Grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, witches and all that, I know, crazy, but she's going on and on about it” I was staring outside of the window when memories of my parents came flooding back.
“And I'm like, put this woman in a home already! But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think that Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands” Bonnie went on but I think she noticed that Elena and I weren’t paying attention.
“Elena! Chaya! Back in the car!” Bonnie said as both Elena and I turned our heads to her.
“You guys really are like sisters” Marzia joked.
“Sorry Bonnie you were telling us...” Elena began but was soon interrupted.
“That I’m physic now” Bonnie admitted smiling.
“Yeh ok” Elena said.
“Ok, then predict something. About me?” I asked turning back to face her.
“I see” But before she could continue something hit us and the car spun out.
“Ahhhh!” Both Elena and I shrieked as Marzia tried to get the steering wheel under control.
“What was that!?!” Bonnie demanded.
“I don’t know it was like a bird or something It came out of nowhere” Marzia explained worried.
“Elena, Chaya are you guys ok?” Bonnie asked.
“We’re fine really” Elena stated “Yes, we can’t be scared of cars for the rest of our lives” I added.
“I predict, this year is going to be kick ass, and I predict that all the sad and dark times are over and you both are going to be beyond happy” Bonnie predicted.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
STEFAN’S POV
I walked into the school with my glasses on, black leather jacket was pulled up, my blue jeans were low though, my hair was pushed up and my shirt was black.
I strutted into the school in hope to find her. I have checked many other schools but no sign of her, she has to be here.
CHAYA’S POV
We are finally inside our school, I walked Behind Marzia who was in the front of all of use, Bonnie was behind me and Elena was behind Bonnie.
“Major lack of male real estate. Look at the shower curtain on Kelly Beech. She looks like a hot, can I still say ‘tranny mess’?” Bonnie asked as we leaned up against the lockers.
“Nope that’s over” Elena replied.
“Ah, find a man coin a phrase. It’s a busy year” Bonnie admitted.
Marzia’s eyes dilated to behind us and when we turned around it was Matt.
Matt Donovan he had blonde hair and beautiful baby blue eyes, he just had his usual jock jacket on with a pair of black jeans and DC shoes.
He also dated my sister not long ago, she broke up with him when our parents passed away though and then hell broke loose.
Elena gave a small wave and smile, but he just slammed his locker shut and walked away with a sad look on his face.
Elena turned back to us “He hates me” she informed us.
“No he doesn’t” Marzia corrected her sighing.
“Nope that’s hate” I added honestly.
“That’s not hate that’s you dumped me but I’m too cool to show it but secretly I’m listening to Air Supply’s greatest hits” Bonnie predicted.
We all had a small laugh at Bonnie crazy talking.
Caroline came rushing over to us and slammed her arms around Elena then me.
“Oh, Chaya you know I can’t stay mad at you for long “Caroline said before turning to Bonnie.
“Caroline” I mumbled as she was squashing my waist to hard.
“How are they? Are they ok?” Caroline asked Bonnie fiddling with her fingers.
“Caroline, we’re here and we’re fine. Thank you” Elena informed her.
“Really?” Caroline asked just to be sure.
“Yeah we’re fine” I replied.
“Oh you poor thing” Caroline said hugging us again “I’ll see you guys later?” She asked.
Elena and I just nodded in response.
“Ok bye” Bonnie said as Caroline walked away.
“No comment” Elena said.
“I’m not even going to bother” I added smiling as we walked of.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
JEREMY’S POV
I was standing in the stoner pit along with Vicki.
“Don’t take more than two in a six hour window” I ordered giving her two pills.
She took two pills and swallowed them, before her dick of a boyfriend came over.
“Hey Vicki, I know I’d find you here with the crack heads” Tyler teased turning to me “Hey Pete Wentz called he wants his nail polish back” Tyler added referring to my scratchy black nail polish.
“Pete Wentz, huh? How old school T.R.L. of you. Carson Daly fan?” I asked playing along.
Tyler went to come at me but Vicki stopped him.
“Ty be nice, that’s Elena’s little brother” She told him.
Is that all I was to her ‘Chaya and Elena’s little brother’?
‘I know exactly who he is, I’ll still kick his ass” Tyler said as they kissed so I turned my head away while taking another puff at the smoke in my hand.
CHAYA’S POV
We were walking and talking but stopped when we passed the registration office due to the fact that a new guy was there.
“Hold up, who’ this?” Bonnie asked.
“All I see is his back” Elena replied.
“It’s a hot back” Marzia added.
“I’m sensing seattle, and he plays a guitar’ Bonnie teased.
“You’re really going to run this whole physic thing into the ground aren’t you?” Marzia asked.
I turned my head when I heard someone mention my brother’s name.
“Hey Jeremy, good batch man” I noticed Jeremy entering the guys bathroom with his hands in his pockets.
I nudged Elena’s shoulder and dilate my eyes over to the guy’s bathroom, she looked confused so I filled her in.
“Drugie brother” I started to walk way, as she followed me, we entered the guys bathroom.
When we entered the guy’s bathroom we caught Jeremy placing eye drops into his eyes.
“Wow pants down chick!” A guy said who had just come out of a cubical.
I ran over to Jeremy and grabbed his face, squeezing his cheeks together as I did so.
“Seriously!” I released his face “It’s the first day of school and your stoned”.
“No I’m not” He lied.
Elena stepped up “Where is it? Is it on you?”.
Elena reached for his pockets but he was stopping her with his hands.
“Stop alright, you need to chill yourselves alright?” He said flicking her hands away.
“Chill ourselves? Is that stoner talk. Dude you are so cool” I muttered reaching for him pants pockets.
“Look stop! I don’t have anything on me! Are you crazy?” He asked facing Elena.
“You haven’t seen crazy Jeremy!” she shouted, which Elena didn’t do often “I gave you a summer pass but we are don watching you destroy yourself!”.
After he didn’t reply I added “No you know what keep it, but just know that we are going to be there every time to ruin your buzz you got it?”.
“Jeremy, we know who you are and it is not this person. So don’t be this person” Elena begged.
“I don’t need this” Jeremy replied bumping both of us as he left.
“I can’t do this, I’m going” Elena said before patting my shoulder and leaving.
I waited a while before sighing and leaving myself.
When I left the door I bumped into someone “Umm pardon me, is this…then men’s room?” He asked shyly.
I turned around and noticed that I had just left the buys bathroom in front of everyone.
“Ugh Yes, it is” I stuttered “It’s a long story” I settled for saying.
I tried to pass him but we both went the same way, so I tried the other but once again we stopped in front of each other.
We moved to side allowing me to get pass “Thank you” I whispered before taking off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
History class was boring I just sat there, Mr Tanner wouldn’t shut up.
“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”.
I turned my head and noticed that the new guy was staring at me so I quickly turned back.
My phone vibrated in my pocket so I quickly grabbed it and read the message.
I was from Bonnie *HAW-TE STARIN @ U* I smiled before putting my phone back away.
I couldn’t stop myself from looking back but when I did he was still looking at me.
Finally class ended, and I quickly walked out of class but Bonnie caught up with me.
“Hey wanna go to the grill?” She asked.
“I’m going to go the cemetery, visit my parents but maybe later?” I replied.
“Yeh sure” she said walking off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I walked into the cemetery which would have crept me out but now I really don’t care.
I found a spot against a large stoned graved which was across from my parents as their tombstone read ‘Miranda Sommers and Grayson Gilbert loving parents’.
I pulled my deep lime leather diary out from my bag and flipped to a new page.
‘Dear diary, I made it through the day. I must have said, "I'm fine, thanks," at least thirty-seven times. And I didn't mean it once. But no one noticed. When someone asks, "How are you?" They really don't want an answer.’
A giant black crow appeared on top of my parent’s head stone.
“Hi bird” I greeted the bird with a fake wave before whispering “That’s not creepy or anything.
The bird hocked, so I got up off the ground and shooed the bird away with my hands.
“That’s what I thought” I said but when I turned around the bird was flying in front of me.
I looked down to ground and when I noticed there was fog I picked up my bad and ran.
When I looked back the crow had vanished and instead there was a man in the distance, I turned around so I could run faster but instead I stumbled over my feet and came crashing down onto the ground.
“Ahh!” I yelled as I hit the ground I turned around and saw Stefan there.
“Are you ok?” He asked concerned.
I sighed before nodding “Were you following me?”.
“No I saw you fall” He admitted.
“Yes and you just happened to be hanging around in a cemetery” I added.
“I’m visiting” He replied and I felt really bad.
“I’m sorry, It’s the fog It’s making me foggy and back there they’re was this bird and it was all very Hitchcock for a second. That it’s the movie right the Hitchcock?” I asked sounding like an idiot.
“I’m Chaya” I just said.
“I know we have History together” He informed me.
“And English and Art” I reminded him.
“Yeh, well I’m Stefan” He held his hand out for me to shake which I did.
He moved his hand to my face and when he pulled back he held a small green leaf, and flicked it away.
“Thanks…..Nice ring?” I commented staring at the large blue ring with the letter S on it in gold.
“Yeh I’m kind of stuck with it, It’s weird huh?” He asked.
“Not I just mean there are rings then there is that” I rephrased.
“Did you hurt yourself?” He asked.
“Ugh I don’t know” I said before pulling my pants up revealing a nasty looking dab of blood surrounding a hole on my leg.
“Ugh, would you look at that? That is not pretty” I said before he turned his face away from me.
“You should go clean that up” He asked.
“It’s nothing really” When I looked back up he was gone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
STEFAN’S POV
I ran through my house and up the stairs till I reached my room. I marched over to my desk and grabbed my brown leather diary, I started on a new blank page.
‘I lost control today. Everything I've kept buried inside came rushing to the surface. I'm simply not able to resist her.’
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
JEREMY’S POV
I was at the bar table waiting for Vicki to come out and when she did I said hi.
“Hey Vick” she turned happy but when she relised it was me she turned away.
“Working” She took a tray over to Tyler and her older brother Matt.
She placed a box of hot chips in front of Matt before turning to Tyler.
“Would you like a refill?” she asked.
“I’d love one” He replied.
“Be right back” She said turning around before Matt hit Tyler with one of his chips.
“Dude please tell me you’re not hooking up with my sister?” Matt asked.
“I’m not hooking up with your sister” Tyler replied with a cocky smirk on his face.
“You’re a dick” Matt told him before slouching against his chair with a sigh.
I marched over to Vicki and asked her a question “Hey what’s your deal I mean summer you act one way and school starts and you can’t be bothered”.
“Look Jeremy I really appreciate all the pharmaceuticals but you need to stop following me around like a lost puppy” She said plain out rudely.
“When was the last time you had sex with a puppy?” I blurted out.
“Shhhh! I don’t want the whole world to know I deflowered Elena’s kid brother” She ordered.
“And deflowered and deflowered” I carried on.
“We hooked up a few times in a drug haze but it’s over! You gotta back off before you wreak thing between me and Tyler” she ordered.
“What Tyler? He’s a total douche. He only wants you for your ass” I retorted.
She turned to face me “Yeh, and what do you want me for?” She walked away holding a can of beer.
BONNIE’S POV
I was walking into the grill with Caroline and Marzia.
“His name is Stefan Salvatore. He lives with uncle up at the old Salvatore boarding house. He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family, so they moved around a lot. He's a Gemini, and his favorite color is blue”. Caroline announced proudly.
“You got all of that in one day?” He younger sister asked.
“Oh please I got all of that between 1st and 4th period. We’re planning a June wedding” Caroline corrected before walking off to go join Tyler.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
CHAYA’S POV
“We’re meeting Bonnie at the grill!” Elena yelled out to Aunt Jenna who came into the room.
I had on my black dress with sequins on the top half of the dress, and the same black shoes I wore earlier, my hair was out had its natural curls (It was the only way to tell between Elena and I-our hair).
Mine was naturally curly so was Elena’s but she hates it so every morning she straightens it.
“Ok have fun!” Jenna called out before stopping us “I got this, don’t stay out late It’s all school night”.
“Well done Aunt Jenna” I complimented.
When Elena opened the door Stefan was standing out the front and from what I looked like I think he was about to knock.
“Sorry, I was about to knock. I wanted to apologize for my disappearing act earlier. I know it was . . . strange”. Stefan Jested.
“Before” Elena questioned turning to me with a huge smile before adding “I’ll meet you at the grill”.
I nodded as she moved her hand up and down and hung her mouth open then mouthed ‘Hot’.
“No worries, I get it blood makes you squeamish” I boasted.
“Yeh something like that” He responded.
“Um how did you know where I live?” I wondered curiously.
“Small town. I asked the first person I saw” He declared “And I thought you might like this back” He handed me my diary.
“Omg, thank you so much. I must have dropped it” I said accepting the diary.
“I didn’t read it” He confirmed.
“Why not? Most people would have? I puzzled.
“Well I wouldn’t want anyone reading mine” He assured me.
“You keep a journal?” I doubted.
“Yeah of I don’t write it down I forget. Memories are too important to forget” He spoke truthfully.
“Yeh, I’m just gonna grab a jacket…You don’t have to wait out there’ I smiled.
“I’m fine out here” He yelled, when I came back out he asked me something “Weren’t you going somewhere?”.
“Ah, yeh just the Grill to meet up with a few friends” I paused “Would you like to come?”.
“I would love to” He agreed as we both walked outside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
MATT’S POV
“How’s Elena and Chaya?” I asked Bonnie who was sitting across from me.
“Their mum and dad died. They’re putting on good faces but it’s only been four months” Bonnie replied.
“Has she said anything about me?” I questioned.
“Who Elena?” Bonnie asked confused.
I nodded “Oh no, so not getting in the middle of this you pick up the phone and call her” Bonnie instructed.
“I feel weird calling her she broke up with me” I Added.
“Just give it more time. Matt.” Bonnie said.
I looked up and saw Elena enter the Grill alone.
I stood up and walked over to her “Hey”.
“Matt! Hey!” She squealed hugging me.
“How are you doing?” I asked concerned for her.
“Yeh I’m fine, you?” she replied letting me go.
“Yeh I’m doing well, what’s with Chaya and the new guy?” I wondered moving over to them.
“I’m Matt” I held my hand out as the new guy gave it a firm shake.
“Stefan” He told.
“Hey” I saw Chaya and muttered a kind greeting to her “Hey” before taking off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
CHAYA’S POV
Stefan, Elena, Bonnie, Caroline and I were sitting down at a table.
“So you were born in Mystic Falls?” Caroline said letting her curious mind take over.
“Yep, and moved when I was still young” Stefan replied.
“Parents?” Bonnie continued.
“My parents passed away” He confessed.
“I’m so sorry’ Elena muttered to him.
“Any siblings?” I asked.
“None that I talk to. I live with my uncle He concluded.
“So Stefan! If you’re new you don’t know about the party tomorrow night?” Caroline budded in.
“Excuse my sister’s desperate attempts to hook up with you, but It’s a back to school thing at the falls” Marzia filled him in.
Stefan turned to me “Are you going?”.
Before I had the chance to answer Bonnie interrupted me “Of course she is”.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
STEFAN’S POV
I sped home because of an urgent text that my ‘uncle’ had sent me.
“You promised!” He yelled handing me a newspaper with the mutated victims.
“This was an animal attack” I said reading what was on the paper.
“Don’t play that game with me I know the trick! You tear them up enough they always suspect an animal attack! You said you had it under control” Zach said alarmed.
“And I do” I assured him calmly.
“Please, Uncle
Stefan.
Mystic Falls is a different place now. It's been quiet for years, but there are people who still remember. And you being here, it's just going to stir things up”. Zach warned me.
‘It’s not my intention!” I said.
“Then what is? Why did you come back? After all this, Why now?” Zach retorted.
“I don’t’ have to explain myself to you” I argued.
“Look I know that you can’t change what you are, but you don’t belong here anymore” He reasoned.
“Then where do I belong?” I spat back.
“I can’t tell you what to do. But coming back here was a mistake”. Zach said before leaving slamming the door as he did so.
I then walked over to my cupboard and pulled out a photo of them. At the bottom it had in scripted ‘Katherine & Faith 1864’.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
CHAYA’S POV
‘Why does history always have to be so boring?’ I thought myself while MR Tanner wouldn’t shut up.
“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?” He asked turning to Bonnie.
“A lot? I’m not sure. But like a whole lot” She replied smiling.
“Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Ms. Bennett. Mr. Donovan? Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?” He held his hands up at Matt.
“Nah its ok Mr. Tanner I’m cool with it” Matt said calmly.
“
Hmm. Elena? Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significantly historical events?” He asked Elena who hadn’t been paying any attention at all.
“Ugh I don’t know. Sorry” She muttered.
“I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But the personal excuses ended with summer break”. Mr Tanner explained.
“There were 346 casualties. Unless you're counting local civilians” Stefan who was at the back answered saving everyone else from Mr Tanner’s questions.
“That’s correct. Mr..?” Mr Tanner asked.
“Salvatore” Stefan replied.
“
Salvatore. Any relation to the original settlers here at Mystic falls?” Our nosy teacher said.
“Distant’ Stefan told him.
“Well, very good. Except, of course, there were no civilian casualties in this battle” Mr Tanner turned up to all of us.
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” Stefan had just seriously owned our teacher. GOOD.
Mr Tanner just gave us all a small huff.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
CHAYA’S POV
“Just admit it Chaya!” Bonnie yelled nudging my elbow.
“Ok, so he’s a little pretty” I stuttered.
“He’s go that romance novel stare ‘Just look at his piercing eyes Chaya and Stefan’” Marzia teased.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
STEFAN’S POV
I heard everything Chaya and her friends had just said and was about to go over to them but then bouncy blonde Caroline came over and I sighed.
“Hey, you made it!” She cheered.
“I did” I announced.
“Well, let’s go get you a drink” She advised.
“I don’t” I mumbled not sure what to say but she interrupted me anyways.
“Come on” She said dragging me further way from Chaya.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
CHAYA’S POV
“So where is he?” Bonnie asked looking around.
“I don’t know, you the physic one you tell us” I retorted.
“Right I forgot, ok give me a sec. Grams says I need to concentrate” Bonnie acknowledged.
“Wait! You need a crystal ball” Marzia intercepted.
“What?” I asked confused till she picked up an empty beer bottle.
“Are you serious?” Elena said laughing.
When Marzia handed her the bottle Bonnie’s eyes lit up, she looked scared.
“What?” Marzia asked worried.
“When I touched the bottle I saw you, candles and a man. He had black hair and blue eyes” Bonnie said she was being hypnotized.
“It’s nothing, just the drinking. I’m drunk. I’m going to go get a refill yeh?” Bonnie continued before walking off.
“Bonnie!” Marzia screamed after her.
Elena and I were just standing there when Caroline called her over for god knows what.
I turned the other way and was scared half to death when Stefan appeared behind me.
“Ugh I did it again didn’t I?” He asked giving a shy smile.
“Yeh” I replied.
“Sorry are you upset about something?” he knew.
“No it’s just bonnie she……Never mind you’re here” I smirked.
“I’m here” He asserted.
We had been walking for a while now not one of us really having the guts to say anything though so I spoke up.
“You know, you’re kind of the talk of the town”.
“I am?” He said playfully.
“Mm-mm Mysterious New guy, Oh yeah” I joked.
“Well you have this mysterious thing going too, Twinged in sadness” He replied.
I looked down at my drink “What makes you think I’m sad?” I asked.
“Well we did meet in a graveyard” He rein formed me.
“Well no! Technically we met in the men’s room” I reminded him before going on. “You don’t want to know…..It’s not exactly party chit-chat”.
“I’ve never really been good at Party chit-chat” He convinced.
“Last summer my parent’s car drove off of a bridge into the lake, my sister and brother were in the back with me and we survived but they didn’t. So that’s my story”. I explained.
He stopped us both from walking and looked directly into my eyes.
“You won’t be sad forever. Chaya”. He said, his voice so sweet.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
JEREMY’S POV
I was walking around in the woods because I know Vicki is here somewhere when I heard voices.
“No Ty, I’m not having sex against a tree” That was Vicki.
“Oh come it would be fun” And Tyler, as soon as I heard his voice I marched over to where they were.
“No For who? No it’s not going to happen, not like this and not here! I said no! Ow that hurts!” Vicki yelled.
“Hey leave her alone” I yelled making my appearance more visible.
Tyler turned to me “You know you’re really starting to get on my nerves gilbert”.
“No just go away!” Vicki said shoving Tyler off her.
“Vicki Donovan says no. That’s a first” Tyler shouted before walking off.
“I didn’t need your help” She turned to face me.
“It seemed like you did” I replied.
“He was just drunk!” She assured me.
“I’m drunk! Am I throwing myself at you!” I asked.
“No your worse, you want to see into my soul and screw and screw and screw until your done with me!” She spat back.
“Is that what you think?” I questioned hurt.
“That’s what I know” She mumbled as she charged off into the woods.
I just drowned my sadness in more beer.

CHAYA’S POV
“I like Bonnie & Marzia. They seem like good friends.
“Best friends in the world” I assured him smiling when I turned to noticed that, Matt was staring at us.
“Caroline. she can’t seem to take his eyes off us” Stefan added.
“Caroline’s likes bean my best friend since I was 5 and that means something to me, but she can be very annoying and guy grabby. So be careful” I warned laughing.
Stefan’s face was changing as line were crawling from underneath his eyes.
“Hey are you ok….It just. Your eyes, their?” I stuttered not sure how to describe it.
Stefan turned his face away from me before snatching my empty cup away from me “You want a refill? I’m going to get us a refill”.
VICKI’S POV
I was alone walking through the forest which was silent. To silent.
II turned around when fog started appearing around my feet.
“Jeremy!” I called out but there was no answer “Is that you!”.
I looked around before calling out again “Jeremy!”.
When I turned around there was a man, he pounced on me and that’s all I remember.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
ELENA’S POV
I was looking for Chaya when I bumped into Matt.
“Looking for someone?” He asked as his blue eyes showed me he was hurt.
“Hey” I said.
“When you broke up with me you said it was because you needed more time, has it been long enough?” He begged.
“Matt the last thing I want to do is hurt you” I started.
“That's ok, Elena. You do what you have to do. I just want to let you know that…..I still believe in us. And I'm not giving up on that” Matt promised.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
STEFAN’S POV
“There you are! Have you been down to the Falls yet, because they are really cool at night? I can show you if you want?” Caroline taunted smiling deviously.
Caroline stopped me from getting to Chaya who was watching the whole thing.
“I think you’ve had to much to drink” I assured her.
“Well of course I have so…” She answered.
“Look Caroline. You and me it’s not going to happen” I told her plain and simple before walking back over to a stunned Chaya.
CHAYA’S POV
“I was wondering who abducted you” I laughed as Stefan sat on a log across from me “Now I know”.
“Is she like that with ugh all the guys?” He stuttered.
“Your fresh meat. She’ll back away eventually. I assured him, he sighed in relief as we both shared a small laugh before I saw my brother who had just shucked an empty beer bottle away.
“What is it?”
“My brother”
“The drunk one?” He questioned looking at me as I got up.
“That would be the one, excuse me for a moment” I carried on.
“Do you need some help?” He wondered.
“Trust me you’re not going to want to witness this” I knew he wouldn’t, I mean who would.
“Jeremy!” I called out knowing he could hear me “Jeremy!”.
I still followed him even when we were deep in the woods which was starting to creep me out “Jeremy! Where the hell are you going?” I asked in a yelling tone.
“I don’t wanna here it!” He hollered back in response.
“Yeh well too bad” I said loudly as he turned over to probably tell me off he tripped over something.
He probably would have fallen head first if he didn’t stop himself with his hands for protection.
When he looked down to see what he had tripped over Vicki was lying beneath him.
He and I both noticed the red liquid pouring out of her neck.
“Vicki, no omg it’s Vicki!” Jeremy said as tears filled his eyes.
“Omg” Was all I could say at the moment.
“Ok Jer, pick her up and carry her” I began trying to calm him down as I pulled out my phone making a call to 911 for an ambulance.
“I’m calling the ambulance now ok, just carry her back to the party ok?” I asked making sure he would be able to do that.
He nodded picking up her body he started marching through the woods.
After making the call I caught up with Jeremy as we both entered the party, Jeremy placed Vicki down onto a wooden table.
“Somebody help!” I shrieked as Matt, Tyler, Marzia, Elena and many other people.
“Vicki! What the hell!” Matt yelled freaking out.
“What happened to her?” Tyler demanded shoving people back.
“Somebody call an ambulance!” Matt shouted concerned for his sister’s life.
“Already did they said 10 to 15 minutes” I explained as Jeremy and Matt had small tears forming in their eyes.
“Everybody back up1 Give her some space!” Tyler demanded pushing three people back with a single hand.
Marzia handed me a rag towel thing “Put this on her neck!”.
When I did so I noticed large bite marks on her neck “Something bit her neck! She’s losing a lot of blood!” I screamed frantically trying to keep pressure on the open wound.
“Vicki? Vicki! Look at me open your eyes!” Matt pleaded.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
STEFAN’S POV
I vamp sped home, there was another vampire in town, but who could it be?
I barged the door open where my nephew Zach looked confused.
“What’s going on?” He asked as I headed for the stairs.
“Someone else was attacked tonight uncle Zach and it wasn’t me” I assured him.
I hurried up the stairs but stopped when I could feel another person’s presence.
I turned around and saw a large black crow sitting on my windowsill so I shooed it away, when I turned back he was there.
His short black hair was gelled obviously, his blue eyes were very out there and he was wearing black……..of course he was.
I was silent until now “Damon” The name wreaked through my mind”.
“Hello brother: He said as his voice was slick an almost consuming in a way.
DAMON’S POV
My younger brother looked astonished by my presence.
“Crow’s a bit much don’t you think?” Stefan asked not sure why I came here.
“Wait until you see what I can do with the fog” I smirked.
“When’d you get here” Stefan demanded.
“Well, I couldn't miss your first day at school. Your hair's different. I like it”. I replied smiling.
“It’s been 15 years, Damon” Stefan retorted.
“Really has it been that long?” I began teasing “Thank God. I couldn't take another day of the nineties. That horrible grunge look? Did not suit you. Remember, Stefan, it's important to stay away from fads”. I reminded him.
“Why are you here?”
“I missed my baby bro” I retorted.
“You hate small towns, it’s boring, and you have nothing to do” He reminded me.
“I've managed to keep myself busy” I assured him.
“
You know, you left that girl alive tonight. That's very clumsy of you”.
“Ah that can be a problem, for you”
“
Why are you here now?”
“I could ask you the same question. However, I'm fairly certain your answer can be summed up all into one little word . . . Chaya” I taunted.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
CHAYA’S POV
I watched as the ambulance took Vicki away along with Matt who was in the back of the truck.
“Hey. We're gonna go to Mainline Coffee, wait for news”. Bonnie informed me as Elena came over.
“I gotta take Jeremy home” I reminded her.
“We could meet you there maybe” Elena said.
“Really?” Marzia said coming up from behind Elena and I.
“Yep and knowing Jenna she’ll probably say yes anyway.” Elena replied.
“Yeh but Jeremy on the other hand might get grounded” I said.
“I heard that Chaya, I’m not deaf” Jeremy said loudly.
“So meet you guys at the grill?” Marzia asked hopefully.
“Yep” Bonnie replied cheerfully as Marzia bounced off.
“Chaya” She turned to me then to Elena “Elena”.
“What is it?” Elena asked worried.
“Guy I’m not physic, I know that but whatever I saw or think I saw…I have this feeling’’ She began but was stopped by fear.
“What Bonnie?” I asked pushing her.
“That it’s only the beginning” She replied making both our hearts drop.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
DAMON’S POV
“She took my breath away. Chaya. She's a dead ringer for Katherine. Is it working, Stefan? Being around her, being in her world? Does it make you feel alive?” I taunted.
“She’s nothing Katherine” Stefan replied shocked that I would even bring her up.
“Well let’s hope not because we all know how that turns out” I reminded him “What about her twin. Elena now she’s my favorite tbh. That’s ‘to be honest’ I believe that if you want Chaya have her just have Elena. Or maybe I could take turns, take advantage of two innocent humans” I teased making him remember what Faith and Katherine did to us.
“Shut up” Stefan muttered.
“Tell me something, when's the last time you had something stronger than a squirrel?” I asked.
“I know what you're doing, Damon. It's not gonna work” Stefan said figuring out what I was doing.
“Yeah? Come on. Don't you crave a little” I asked hitting Stefan in the face when he turned away.
“Don’t”
“Let's do it. Together. I saw a couple girls out there. Or just, let's just cut to the chase, let's just go straight for Elena or better yet her sister!” I said.
I noticed Stefan was so close to transforming to his true self.
“Imagine what her blood tastes like? I can” Pushed him too far.
“Stop!” Stefan yelled finally fully transformed as he came racing at me, as he foolishly pushed us both out of the window.
“I was impressed. I give it a six. Missing style, but I was pleasantly surprised. Very good with the whole face Raw! Raw! Thing it was good” I joked as he got up off the ground.
“You know, it's all fun and games, Damon, huh? But wherever you go, people die”. Stefan replied not pleased with my attitude.
“That’s a given” I wasn’t going to let his boringness rub off on me.
“Not here, I won’ allow it” Stefan retorted.
“I’ll take that as an invitation” I complimented.
“Damon, please. After all these years, can't we just give it a rest? My brother pleaded.
“I promised you an eternity of misery, so I'm just keeping my word” I promised.
“Just stay away from Elena and Chaya” He pleaded.
I looked down at his hand changing the subject to more important matters.
“Where's your ring? Oh, yeah, sun's coming up in a couple of hours, and, poof, ashes to ashes”. He looked back up alarmed and scared.
“Relax. its right here” I handed him his ring before picking him up by his throat and throwing him against the garage door making a loud thump when Stefan came crashing down.
“You should know better than to think you're stronger than me. You lost that fight when you stopped feeding on people. I wouldn't try it again.” I walked away finally done with tonight’s lesson.
“I think we woke Zach up. Sorry, Zach!” I yelled before leaving completely.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
CHAYA’S POV
Jeremy was drinking a beer.
“You ok? I called Jenna, she's on her way”. I informed him.
I noticed a police officer was looking at Jeremy with unsureity in his eyes.
“Those people in uniforms, last time I checked, they're the police”. I said he sculled the rest down then tossed the bottle behind him.
I placed a hand on his shoulder but he moved further away from me.
“
They just don't care anymore. They don't remember that our parents are dead, because they've got their own lives to deal with. The rest of the world has moved on. You should try, too”.
He turned to me “I've seen you in the cemetery writing in your diary. Is that--is that supposed to be you moving on?” He asked.
“Mum and dad would not have wanted this” I replied.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
MARZIA’S POV
“Are you sober yet?” Bonnie asked turning to me and Caroline.
Caroline tried to stand up but she fell back down “Nope”.
“Keep drinking I got to get you home, I’ve got to get us home” Bonnie complained.
“Why didn't he go for me? You know, how come the guys that I want never want me?” Caroline asked.
“Are you referring to Stefan?” I asked as my voice was drowsy as I turned to her.
“I’m not touching that” Bonnie said to Caroline.
“I'm inappropriate. I always say the wrong thing. And . . . Chaya always says the right thing” Caroline bragged on.
“Caroline she’s my sister” Elena said.
“Oh please come tomorrow none of us are going to remember any of this” I hissed as we all shared a laugh.
“I guess so” Elena hushed.
“She doesn't even try! And he just picks her. And she's always the one that everyone picks, for everything. And I try so hard, and . . . I'm never the one!” Caroline whined.
‘It’s not a competition Caroline” Bonnie reminded her.
“Yes it is” Caroline retorted.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
MATT’S POV
I was in a hospital room with Vicki who was starting to wake up.
“Vicki, Hey. Hey, it's ok. You're gonna be ok”. I hurried over to her.
“Maat...t” She stuttered.
“Hey, take it easy” I calmed her down before she muttered.
“Vaampiiire”.
I looked at her with concern before she fell unchounious.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~CHAYA’S POV
I was writing in my diary while sitting on my bed/lounge next to my window.
‘Dear diary
Dear diary, I couldn't have been more wrong. I thought that I could smile, nod my way through it; pretend like it would all be ok.’
STEFAN’S POV
I grabbed my diary from my draw and began.
Dear diary
I had a plan. I wanted to change who I was; create a life as someone new, someone without the past.
CHAYA’S POV
Without the pain.
STEFAN/CHAYA’S POV
Someone alive.
CHAYA’S POV
But it's not that easy. The bad things stay with you.
STEFAN’S POV
They follow you.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
MARZIA’S POV
“Chaya said she’s not coming” Elena complained.
“Wait so your telling me that we’ve been waiting here for a not showing up Chaya. Just my luck!” Caroline yelled struggling to stand up.
“Come on let’s go” Bonnie said standing up along with Bonnie and Caroline.
It was so funny when my sister was having great difficulties walking she looked so drunk.
“I’m going to stay here, have a few more coffees, and see you at home” I bided as they left.
I ran my fingers through my golden hair and when I looked up, a man with black hair and blue eyes was staring at me.
I gave him a devious smile before he motioned for me to come sit with him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
CHAYA’S POV
After putting my diary away I looked out my window and rushed down stairs when I saw Stefan standing out there.
I opened the door to him standing there “I’m sorry it’s late, I just had to make sure you were ok” He wondered.
“You know for months that’s all anyone has ever wondered about me.
“What do you tell them?” He asked.
“That I’ll be fine” I replied.
“Do you ever mean it?” He retorted.
“Ask me tomorrow”. No you know what “We can talk in the house, would you like to come in?” I asked.
He smiled before saying “Yes”.
