Prologue:

"So, you're not coming over?" Kelsey asked her friend over the phone.

"Sorry, but I have to study for an exam tomorrow," he replied.

Turning on her television, she laughed, "John Gary Wilson, when have you ever chosen to study over watching Vampire Diaries? I mean, you're the one who got me addicted to this show in the first place! Come on, get your ass here before I drive to wherever the hell you are and get you back home myself."

Johnny sighed, "Kels, this is an important exam and if I don't pass it, I may not graduate high school. I'm sorry, but I can't go to your house tonight to see the season premiere."

"Fine, I'll tell you if Elena turns into a vampire or not as soon as I know, 'kay?" the brunette gave up persuading her best friend.

"Thanks, and you better tell me 'cause I'm dying to know," he said and hung up.

Tuning to the CW channel, Kelsey sat on the couch and waited for the two hour long movie to end so The Vampire Diaries could start. She tried to keep her eyes from closing but after staying up until five in the morning last night to finish her five-page essay for her History class, it was a miracle that she didn't go to sleep in class today, and right now, with the extremely boring movie and wrapped in her cozy blanket with the all the lights turned off, except for a scented candle that made her living room smell like the Caribbean Sea, she felt the need to take at least a twenty-minute nap, meanwhile the movie ended.

What she didn't know, was that the curtains had caught on fire from the flame of the candle that stood too close to them. Being in a deep slumber, Kelsey didn't smell the burnt odor that the smoke was giving off. The bright flames expanded, devouring everything they touched, and soon the couch was on fire, she turning in her sleep, her half-conscious mind knowing that something was wrong and trying to wake her up.

Sweat began to trickle down her forehead from the heat and when The Vampire Diaries began, she finally woke up, coughing as the smoke entered her lungs and burned her insides. There was a moment were everything in her head went blank and she just stared, wide-eyed, at the red-orange flames that burned her blanket, before standing up and frantically trying to get rid of the flames on her shirt.

"Oh God, oh God, oh God!" she cried out as the crackling flames of the fire surrounded her, burning her skin, and an intense agony cursed through her body.

She screamed and wailed, the fire blazing merrily as it ate her up. Kelsey stumbled back into the wall, causing the television to fall and hit her head. The last thing she remembered seeing was an eery ray of white light before she succumbed to a vast darkness.

A/N: So this is my second attempt at a story like this. Yeah, my first one didn't work out so well, but I promise that I won't ever delete this one like the other one. That is if you guys like it and want me to continue writing it.

This is a Stefan/OC/Damon, because, honestly, I'm indecisive about which brother I should pair her up with, since I'm not into the season 4 or 5 Damon but I love him in the earlier seasons, and from season three onwards, my love for Stefan is the strongest. So yeah, I'm being an Elena right now, but I promise you the time will come when Kelsey will decide and it won't take an eternity like Elena is taking.

Anyway, please leave a review so I can know what your thoughts are and if I should continue this story. And if you want to know, I picture Kelsey as Lily Collins. Thank you so much for reading and hopefully you liked the prologue! :)
