Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own OC Victoria "Tori Gilbert" and Nikolina "Nicole Pierce"

Full Summary: Victoria hates the Vampire Diaries so when she wakes up as Elena's twin sister, she finds herself involved in more than a love triangle. Stefan/OC/Damon

Author's Note: I have another Twin fic but I wanted to try and a love triangle...even though I hate them I'm gonna give it a shot. Katherine will be part of this story...though not a big part. I'm going to be working on this for a while, so my other stories will be hatius and I'm sorry if you read TVD: RE-WRITTEN, I've completely went blank when it comes to it...I think I'm gonna wait for the rest of the season to finish to continue it.

This will follow the plot, but obviously things will be different, my other story just seems to copy...so I'm not gonna do that for this one. Obviously I am a huge fan of the Vampire Diaries, so don't take offense lol that she hates it! She will however know who Nina Dobrev is.

Chapter 1: Pilot

"I have no desire for this stupid show" Victoria grumbled as she flicked through the channels. Her tv landing on The Vampire Diaries. Ugh. She hated it. There was no point to this show what so ever. What was the point? If somebody could explain it to her and tell her exactly why a teenage girl would want to involve herself with Vampires, then she might give it a shot. Though, the channel still hadn't changed and she found herself staring at the screen, at the boy named...she managed to catch his name. Jeremy. A fifteen year old weed smoker. All she knew about this was that the girl and the boy had lost their parents...and that was why he was acting out apparently. There was also the fact of the matter that she didn't like it that much she dind't even know their names, that's how much she disliked it.

She then heaved a sigh because she couldn't find anything else to watch, she switched the tv off and stood from her spot on her bed. She went down to get a glass of water and go to bed since it was late at night. She stared out the window, a flash of lightening hit the shed outside and Victoria shrieked in surprise. She looked out the window and then frowned, turning on her heel and moving up the stairs. She got into bed and put the glass of water on her bedside table, and nuzzling down into her bed, after switching the lamp off.

She could still hear the thunder outside but the feeling of safety in her own home made her smile. She finally drifted into a peacful sleep as the storm kept going outside her house, battering off the windows.

As Victoria rummeled around under the covers, something began tickling her nose. She furrowed her brows and scrunched her face up.

"Tori...Tori" A voice sang. "Wake up"

"Five more minutes" She said rolling over.

The covers were suddenly ripped away from her and the cold air around her made her squeal and she sat up. "What the hell?" She said and her brown eyes connected with another pair of doey brown eyes. Her eyes widened.

"School" She said.

"Wha-"

"Victoria Gilbert. Will you move it!" The brunette said, who appeared to look like Nina Dobrev smiled.

"Gilbert..."

"Yes" She scrunched up her face "Bonnie will be here soon, so hurry up"

"Bonnie?" Victoria managed.

"Yes, you know our best friend, Bonnie Bennett"

Victoria stared at her in horror, not sure what the hell was happening to her. "What's going on?"

"Have you been smoking from Jeremy's stash?" She asked.

Victoria put a hand to her face and frowned. What the hell was going on here? What was happening to her? Was she dreaming? "Pinch me" She said to Nina...Elena...whatever her name was.

"What?"

"Pinch me.."

"Why?"

"Just do it"

"Okay" She said and moved forward, nipping Victoria's arm and Victoria huffed moving from the bed. "What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing...weird dream" She said.

"Oh..must've messed with your head"

"Yeah..you can say that" Victoria nodded as the brunette left the room. She stared at herself in the mirror, her eyes wide and her forehead sweaty. "Oh. My. God"

She rummaged around in drawers but then a picture on the wall caught her eye, she turned her head fully to see and she frowned deeply. The picture was of three kids. Her, Elena and...Jeremy. How was this possible that she was here? I DON'T EVEN LIKE THIS SHOW! It was then that she noticed the article that was sitting. She picked it up and began reading it "Grayson and Miranda Gilbert, Mother and Father to Victoria, Elena and Jeremy Gilbert. Who were lost too soon in a horrible accident. Almost claming their eldest daughter's life aswell, Mirical the girl got out of the car alive" She frowned. What a way to lose parents..but the question was...if their eldest daughter had almost died...then how was she alive?

She found the clothes and thankfully they were clothes that she would probably wear anyway, she went out of the bedroom and and managed to find the bathroom. She went in slowly and shut the door, throwing her pyjamas off and pulled her clothes on. She heaved another sigh as she threw her pyjamas back into "Her" bedroom and went down the stairs.

She didn't know how but, there was something telling her she knew this place, like she had been here all her life, even though she hadn't. She went in as the redhaired woman was talking about toast.

"It's all about the coffee Aunt Jenna" Elena said.

"Is there coffee?" A voice asked and in walked the stoner boy who was her brother now.

"Aunt Jenna?"

"What?" Jenna asked turning to look at her neice.

"Oh nothing..nothing" She laughed awkwardly and shook her head.

"Your first day of school and I'm totally unprepared" Jenna said "Lunch money?"

"I'm good" Elena said shaking her head.

"Tori?" Jenna asked.

"No I'm fine thank you" Victoria said and they all stared at like she was an alien.

"What?" She asked.

"oh..nothing" jenna said giving a strange look.

"Okay" Elena sighed and shook her head as she fiddeled with her bag.

"Anything else? A number two pencil? What am I missing?" Jenna asked.

"Don't you have a big presentation today?" Elena asked.

"I'm meeting with my thesis avisor at...now. Crap"

"The go. We'll be fine" Elena said and Jenna gave Victoria a look before she left. "You ok?" Elena asked Jeremy and Victoria looked over at him too.

"Don't start" He huffed and walked out past the two girls who then looked at each other and shrugged.

On the way to school, Victoria said absoultley nothing, her "Sister" and "Friend" throwing her glances every now and then. Suddenly a crow hit the window, and the car came to a sudden stop, jerking everybody forward. Victoria let a sigh escape her in fright as Elena and Bonnie turned to look at her.

"What was that?! OH my god!" Bonnie huffed "Tori are you okay?"

"What?" Victoria asked. She didn't understand.

"With me and the car...it was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere" Bonnie said to her.

"Uh I'm fine" She nodded. "I'm fine"

So it must've been her in the car with Grayson and Miranda then.

"I predict this year is going to be kick ass. And I predict that all the sad and dark times are over and you two are going to be beyond happy" Bonnie said. I wish.

As Victoria followed them into the school, not listening to a word they were saying, but actually away in her little world. "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

"Tranny mess?" Victoria scoffed.

"No" Elena laughed "That's over"

"Ahh, find a man, coin a phrase. It's a busy year" Bonnie said.

Victoria looked around and her eyes landed on a blonde haired blue eyed boy. He was quite handsome and she gave a smile, noticing he was staring. Who the hell was that anway? He looked away and she frowned.

"I don't think he likes me much" Victoria said.

"Yes he does, he misses you" Elena said "Your his best friend...and you sort of haven't spoken to him all summer and besides...he has a crush on you"

"he has a crush on me?" Victoria asked.

"Yes...don't tell me you haven't noticed it" Bonnie said dramatically.

"No..now really" Victoria said, confused again.

"Oh my god!" A voice squealed "Tori! Elena!"

Victoria turned her head and met with the blue eyes of a girl she had no clue of. She hugged her tightly and pulled back, hugged Elena.

"How are you two? Oh it's so good to see you both! How are they? Are they good?" She asked Bonnie. Who the hell was this girl?

"Caroline, we're right here" Elena nodded.

"We're fine" Victoria nodded when the girl named Caroline looked to her.

"Really?"

"Yeah" Victoria nodded. "Thanks..."

"Oh you poor thing"

Why am I a poor thing?

Caroline hugged Victoria again and she looked to Bonnie and Elena for aid.

"Okay Caroline" Elena said and Caroline pulled back.

"Oh! Okay, see you guy's later?"

"Ok! Bye!"

She scurried off and Victoria looked to the other two girls "What was that?"

"No comment" Elena said.

"Wasn't going to say anything" Bonnie said and they began walking. As they walked, Bonnie then pulled them to a stop. "Hold up. Who's this?" She asked.

"We can't see his face" Victoria said and rolled her eyes.

"All we see is back" Elena agreed.

"it's a hot back" Bonnie said "I'm sensing seattle, and he plays the guitar"

"You're psychic?" Victoria asked.

"Pretty much" Bonnie nodded.

"Jeremy good batch man"

Victoria turned her head, seeing the younger boy go into the restrooms. She frowned, Elena hadn't seemed to of heard what was said. "I'll be back in a minute" She said and went to the bathroom. What the hell was she even supposed to say to him? He was a fifteen year old who had lost his parents. She couldn't blame him for acting out.

She went into the restrooms and seen him, putting eyedrops in. She frowned and walked over to him.

"Whoa! Pants down chick"
"Well pull them up, idiot" She replied with a venomous tone. She moved to Jeremy and stared up at him. "Your stoned? Really?"

"No I'm not"

"Is it on you?" She asked, she seemed to feel like she cared deeply for this boy more than she should. She began rummaging around in his pockets until he grabbed her hands.

"Stop all right you need to chill yourself" he said "All right?"

"Chill myself?" She snorted "Seriously? I would be a better stoner than you"

"Look stop! I don't have anything on me. Are you crazy?!"

"You don't even know crazy Jeremy. I don't know half of what's happening right now but you are making things very difficult.I know it's been a rough summer okay? I get it. I do. and You might like being high okay? But I will be there every time to kill that buzz do you understand me? EVERY time I will be there"

"I don't need this" He growled and stormed out past her.

Victoria let out a sigh, she didn't know how deep her feelings were for this kid. She barely even knew him let alone boss him around. She then followed and moved out of the bathroom, coming face to face with a young boy.

"Uh, pardon me. Um..is this the men's room?" He asked.

"Yeah..I was just...my brother was in there and he...long story" She said and tried to pass him but couldn't. And he stepped back. "Thank you" She smiled and went past him, her sister and her friend grinning at her. She made a face as they went to turn the corner and she looked back at him and he stared back at her, as if his green orbs were staring into her soul.

Once in the classroom, she was sitting down. Listening to the teacher in front of her talk jibberish about things she didn't understand.

"Once our home state of Virginia joined confederacy in 1861, it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state. People in Virgina's northwest region had different ideals than those from Virginia divided in 1863 within the northwest region" He went on and on.

Victoria turned her head to look at Bonnie but caught herself looking at the boy from earlier. God she knew she'd seen him before and she didn't even know his name. He looked back at her and she blushed quickly turned her head away to face the front, her phone...vibrated and she pulled it out to look at it. "HAWT-E STARING U."

She turned her head again to look at him properly, and he was looking at the front but his eyes travelled to her again, making her blush again and she turned her head away only this time a slow smile creeped onto her face.

She managed to find her way around and found herself going into the cemetary, looking for nothing in partuclar until she came across the stone. She frowned and sat down in front of it.

"I don't...even know why I'm here...but I want to know why...people kept asking me if I was okay and all I could say was "I was fine" I don't know why because I'm not okay...I don't think I ever will be. Not here at least" She said. She frowned and looked down to her bag, she hadn't even checked in it. She opened it up and rummaged around in it, coming across a diary. She pulled the purple book out and stared down at it.

Victoria opened it up "Property of Victoria-Louise Gilbert"

She began reading through the pages, best know how to act around everyone than being like a clueless idiot. The pages were filled with what seemed to be endless pages of words. She would enjoy reading through this...maybe. Maybe it would be good for her though...at least then she might know how to act and how to behave.

Suddenly a big black crow appeared on the gravestone and she made a face. "Uh..you're sort of sitting on...my parents grave stone..if you could just shoo!" She said swatting her hands at it and it flew off. "Yeah" She said making a face and then the crow came back, Victoria looked around and seen there was loads of fog starting to appear. She stood slowly and looked down at the stone before frowning.

It was then that the dark figure appeared behind what looked to be some sort of tomb. Her eyes widened and she moved back, and headed quickly over for the trees. She looked back as she stumbled down the hell and almost fell. She dropped her bag and picked it up, and wincing as she brushed herself off.

"You ok?" A voice asked and she jumped in surprise and looked to see the boy from her classes.

"Were you just up there? Like at the tomb thing?" She asked rasing her eyebrows.

"No" he shook his head "I-uh-a I saw you fall"

"Oh" She nodded "Right..I'm imagining things...that's what it is"

"Right" he said and he smiled.

"I'm Victoria-or...Tori is fine whatever you wanna call me"

"I'm Stefan"

"Right, the new boy from history"

"And English and French"

"yeah" She nodded and he moved forward, she froze as he pulled a leaf out of her hair. "Thank you...that's a very big ring" She blurted out "Sorry...I am not with it at all today I'm sorry"

"Oh" he laughed "It's um a family ring, I'm kinda stuck with it. It's weird huh?"

"No no not at all...it's just very big"

"Did you hurt yourself?" He asked suddenly.

"Not that I know of" She shook her head and when she moved her right arm, she winced. And pulled the sleeve up seeing the cut, the blood oozing from it. "Oh..wow.." She looked up seeing he was looking away "Are you..okay Stefan?"

"You should go. Take care of that" he said.

"Ah it's fine I've had worse" She began and looked back up, seeing he was now gone. "Wow...okay. That isn't weird at all"

SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

Stefan wrote in his journal. "I lost control today. Everything I've kept buried inside came rishing to the surface. I'm simply not able to resist her"

The Mystic Grill

"His name is Stefan Salvatore, he lives with his ucnle 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 favourite colour is blue" Caroline Forbes said to Bonnie Bennett.

"You got all that in one day?" Bonnie asked in disbelief.

"Oh, please" Caroline scoffed "I got all that between third and fourth period. We're planning a june wedding"

GILBERT HOUSE

"We're meeting Bonnie at the Grill" Elena called to Jenna as the two girls went for the door, Jenna stopped them.

"Ok have fun, wait. I got this. Don't stay out late, it's a school night" Jenna said.

"Well done Aunt Jenna" Elena smiled.

Victoria opened the door, shocked to see Stefan standing there.

"Hi" She said and Elena smiled behind her.

"WIll excuse me a minute? I need to use the bathroom" She said and she scurried off.

"Sorry I was about to knock. I wanted to apologize for my disappearing act earlier. I know it was...strange" Stefan said.

"Oh don't worry...I get it..you don't like blood...I don't much like it either but hey...you need to survive" Victoria shrugged and he smiled.

"Something like that" He said. "How is your arm?"

"AH, it's good. Elena patched it up for me. How do you know where I stay by the way?" She asked. WHen I don't even know.

"It's a small town, I asked the first person I saw" He said "I thought you might like this back"

He pulled out the purple book and Victoria stared at it and then at him "I didn't even know I dropped it..." She said confused "Thanks though..for picking it up...you know most people wouldn't even bother"

"I know, I'm a gentleman" he smiled "DOn't worry I didn't read it?"

"Guy's usually jump at the chance to read someone's diary" She smiled.

"Well I wouldn't want anybody to read mine" he said.

"You have one too?" She asked.

"Yeah, If I dont write it all down, I forget it. Memories are important" he said.

"Ha" She said "Yeah they are"

She moved back from the door to put the diary down.

"You don't need to just stand there" She called.

"I'm fine. Sorry where you going somewhere?" he asked.

"Yeah...Elena and I are meeting a friend" She said.

"do you want to come?" Elena asked coming down the stairs "Because I say you can"

The three of them entered the Grill, and the boy that seemingly had a crush on her stood and walked over. Elena gave Victoria a look before walking off after giving a hey to him.

"Hey, I'm Matt nice to meet you" He said and shook Stefan's hand.

"Hi. Stefan" Stefan replied. Matt looked to Victoria and she gave a small smile.

"Hey"

"hey" He nodded slowly.

"So you were born in Mystic Falls?" Caroline asked Stefan.

"Mhm. and moved when I was still young" he said.

"Parents?" Bonnie asked.

"My parents passed away"

"I'm sorry, any siblings?" Elena asked. Victoria couldn't believe how nosey they all were.

"None that I talk to, I live with my uncle" He said.

"SO Stefan, if you're new then you don't know about the party tomorrow?" Caroline said.

"Party?" Victoria asked confused, the girls sent her looks and Stefan sent her this dopey smile "Oh that party" She said pretending to know.

"Its a back to school thing at the falls" Bonnie said to him.

"Are you going?" Stefan asked Victoria.

"Of course she is" Elena said, before Victoria could get a word in.

She'd sat up all night, just to read through the diary and as she read, the memories came to her. So it was like she had been here before...but she still didn't feel like home. She wanted to go home. Her eyes lazily fell every now and then and she drifted off to sleep until she heard a "Victoria"

"Tori" Elena's voice hissed and she opened her eyes and looked over at her sister. Elena noded to the front of the class, Mr. Tanner standing with a scowl on his features. This guy reminded her a lot of a teacher she used to have.

"No I don't know" She said and folded her arms over.

"I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons Victoria. But the personal excuses ended with summer break"
"Are you always this senstive?" She snorted and he seemed taken back.

"Excuse me?"

She went to speak again but a voice stopped her "There were 346 casualties unless you're counting local civilians" Stefan's voice said.

"That's correct Mister..."

"Salvatore"

"Salvatore. Any relation to the original settlers here in Mystic Falls?"

"Distant"

"Well, very good. Except of course there was no civilian casualties in this battle"

"Actually there were 27 sir. Conferedate soilders 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" He said. Everybody began giggling and scoffing under their breaths.

"Hmm"

WOOD PARTY

Stefan arrived and listened out for the girls.

"Just admit it Tori" Elena said.

"Oh fine. he's pretty...so what?" Victoria scoffed.

"He has that romance noval stare" Bonnie said.

"You made it!" Caroline said appearing in front of Stefan.

"I did"

"Well let's get you a drink" She said.

"Well, I'm-"

"Oh come on" She said.

"So where is he?" Bonnie asked.

"I don't know..you tell me" Victoria said.

"She's right..you tell us Bonnie you're psychic"

"Right. I forgot. Ok, so give me a sec. Grams says I have to concentrate"

"Wait! Psychics have crystal balls and I don't have one personally but you can have this" Victoria said handing her a glass bottle. Bonnie took it, touching Victoria's hand and she spaced out. She then came back to her senses after Victoria and Elena shared worried glances.

"What?" Elena asked.

"That was weird...when I touched her...I saw a crow"

"What?" Victoria asked, her eyes widening.

"A crow. There was fog, a man. I'm drunk. I't sthe drinking. There's nothing psychic about it. Yeah? ok I'm gonna get a refill"

"Bonnie" Elena called going after her.

Victoria stood for a minute and sighed rolling her eyes and she turned, coming face to face with Stefan.

"Hi" he said.

"Hi" She breathed.

"I did it again..didn't I?"

"Don't worry about it" She smiled.

"I'm sorry. You're upset about something" he said.

"Oh no..I'm fine...a little tired. I didn't sleep much last night but uh...apart from that I'm fine. Never mind you're here"

"I'm here" he said.

The two walked along the bridge across from the party.

"You know, you seem to be the talk of the town" Victoria said.

"Am I?"

"Yep. Mysterious new guy...always happens in small towns"

"Well, you have the mysterious thing going too..twinged with sadness" he said.

She looked up at him "I look sad?"

"No" he laughed.

"Well what makes you think I am?"

"We did meet in a graveyard"

"I forgot about that" SHe pointed out "But we did meet before that...at the school when I cam barging out of the mens' room...I'm not gonna bother you with my problems...it's not party material"

"Well 've never been good at party material" Stefan said.

She would be able to lie.

"Uh...well do you ever feel like..you're here...but you're not really here...like it somebody else's life you're living and not your own?"

"Sometimes" He agreed.

"Right" Victoria said "Well...when my parents died, I survived but they didn't..."

"You won't be sad forever Tori" he said.

"I like Bonnie,, she seems like a good friend"

"Uh yeah" Victoria nodded "She is..." I think.

"And Matt he can't seem to uh, keep his eyes off us"

"Matt" She sighed and looked over at him, Caroline, Elena and Bonnie. "He's been my best friend since childhood..and he has this crush on me...but...he's like a brother" At leats that's what I think..anyway.

"Oh I see"

"Yeah"

"So...have you been in a relationship"

"As far as I can say..no"

He stared at her confused.

"I mean no...I'm weird...I don't know why you're even wasting your time with me in all honesty" she shrugged.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm weird...I'm sad...and I'm a downright loner...and here you are...trying to be friends with me"

"Of course I am" he said "I don't think you're any of those things"

"You don't know me that well"

He smiled slightly and it was then that the veins under his eyes began appearing.

"Hey...are you alright? Your eyes...they..look a little red-"

"Yeah..no It's um...nothing. Um are you thirsty? I'm gonna get us a drink"

Victoria stood around, not particularly looking for anyone but someone then bumped into her.

"Looking for someone"

"Hi Matt" SHe said.

"When you found about me liking you you told me you needed to be alone. You don't seem so alone to me"

"It's not that I-"

"That's Okay, Tor. You do what you have to do. I just want you to know that I think we could be good together ad I'm not gonna give up on that"

"Matt" Victoria sighed.

Stefan was on his way back up to Victoria when Caroline stopped him.

"Hey! There you are. Have you been down to the falls yet? Because they are really cool at night. And I can show you. If you want" She said.

"I think you've had too much to drink"

"Of course I have. So-"
"Caroline. You and me,, it's not gonna happen. I'm sorry" He said and then he approched Victoria.

"I wondered where you'd gone" She smiled "I thought you'd left me here all alone"

"Is she like that with uh, all the guys?"

"You're new. Give her time and it'll pass" Victoria said. She then noticed Jeremy, stumbling into the woods. "Seriously? Right now?"

"What is it?"

"My brother" She said nodding towards him.

"The drunk one?"

"That would be him" She nodded "I'll be back"

"Need some help?"

"No I can handle this" She nodded "Thanks though"

She followed after him, calling his name.

"Where are you even going? What are you doing Jeremy?"

"I don't want to hear it!"

"Yeah, I just want to make sure you don't get hu-" She began but Jeremy fell foward. Victoria gasped and rushed forward to help him.

"Vicki? No! Oh my god it's Vicki"

"Vicki?"

"Matt's sister...are you that drunk? "

"I'm not drunk!" she spat back.

"Help me"

She helped lift the girl into Jeremy's arms and they began walking back quickly.

"Help! Somebody help!" Victoria called.

"Vicki? Vicki what the hell!" Matt said.

"What happened to her?" The boy asked. WHo the hell was he? God where all these people coming from?!

"Somebody call an ambulance"

"Can you people back up and give her space" Victoria said. She needs to freakin breathe. "It's her neck. She's losing blood...something bit her"

"Put this on her neck" A boy said.

Victoria looked up, Stefan was staring wide eyed and he backed off and left. What the hell?

"Vicki, Vicki come on open your eyes, look at me" Matt said trying to wake his sister up.

SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

Stefan rushed into the house, Zach hot on his tail.

"What's going on?"

"Someone else was attacked tonight, Zach and it wasn't me" Stefan said and he went into his room, a crow then appeared and Stefan looked around at the man on the balcony. "Damon"

"Hello, brother"

"Crow's a bit much don't you think?"

"Wait till you see what I can do with the fog"

"When'd you get home?"

"Well I couldn't miss your first day at school. Your hairs different I like it"

"I'ts been fifteen years Damon"

"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" Damon smirked.

"Why are you here?"

"I miss my little brother"

"You hate small towns. It's boring. There's nothing for you to do"

"I've managed to keep myself busy"

"You know you left that girl alive tonight. That's very clumsy of you"

"Ah. That can be a problem...for you" Damon smirked again.

"Wy 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...Victoria"

The Party

Elena, Victoria and Bonnie watched as Matt went away with Vicki in the ambulance.

"Hey. We're gonna go to mainline coffee, wait for some news" Bonnie said to the girls.

"We gotta take Jeremy home" Elena said.

Bonnie nodded and turned to Victoria "There's no way I'm psychic. I know that. But whatever I saw, or I think I saw, I have this feeling..."

"What feeling?" Victoria asked.

"That it's just the beginning.

Boarding House

"She took my breath away. Victoria. She's a dead ringer for Nicola. Is it working Stefan? Being around her, being in her world? Does it make you feel alive?"

"She's not Nicola"

"Well, let's hope not. We both know how that ended. Tell me something when's the last time you had something stronger than a squirrel?"

"I know what you're doing Damon it's not gonna work" Stefan said.

"Yeah? Come on. Don't you crave a little?" Damon mocked, and began pushing and hitting Stefan.

"Stop it"

"Let's do it together. I saw a couple of girls out there. or just, let's just cut to the chase, let's just go straight to Tori."

"stop it!"

"Imagine what he blood tastes like" Damon mocked. Stefan's face transformed "I can"

"I said stop!" Stefan growled and ran at Damon, throwing himself and his brother out the large window and he thew himself at Damon, and the two went through the window and landed on the ground.

"I was impressed. I give it a six. Missing style but I was pleasently surprised. Very good with the whole face thing"

"You know it's all fun and games Damon huh? But wherever you go people die"

"That's given" Damon said.

"Not here. I won't allow it"

"I takw that as an invitation"

"Damon please, after all these years can't we just give it a rest?"

"I promised you an eternity of misery, so I'm just keeping my word"

"Just stay away from Tori"

"Where's your ring? Oh yeah suns coming up in a couple of hours and poof...ashes to ashes" Damon smirked and then rolled his eyes "Relax. It's right here" he handed it back to Stefan, and he put it back on his finger. Damon hissed and grabbed him by the throat and threw him against the garage. "You should know better than to think you're stronger than me. You lost that fight when you stopped feeding on humans. I wouldn't try it again. I think we woke Zach up, sorry Zach"

Party

Victoria was sitting with Jeremy when Elena appeared again.

"You guy's okay? I called Jenna. She's on her way" Elena said.

"You know Jeremy...I don't know if you've noticed but see those dudes over there in the uniforms...they're cops and you're fifteen...so..."

"and?"

"People are going to stop giving you breaks Jer. They just don't care anymore. They don't remember our parents are dead, because they've got their own lives to deal with. he rest of the world has moved on. You should try too"

"You know I seen you both...going into the cemetery, writing in your diary...is that moving on to you?" Jeremy asked.

"Mom and Dad wouldn't have wanted this" Elena said.

Victoria was sitting on the window seat, looking down at the diary. Her diary. She still didn't know how to come to terms with what was happneing to her. Why was she here? How did she even get here? Was she dreaming and would she wake up soon?

"I had a plan.I wanted to change who I was; create a new life as somebody new. Someone without a past"

"without pain"

"Someone alive"

Bad things were happening and they seemed to stay with her, following her and she didn't know how to get rid of them. Suddenly something caught her eye and she turned to look out the window, seeing Stefan. She moved from the window seat and went to the door and opened it up.

"I know it's late. But uh..I needed to know you were ok" he said.

"I'm getting there" She nodded.

"Do you mean it?"

"Ask me tomorrow" She smiled "Do you...want to come in? It's warm in here"

"Yes" he said and with that Stefan entered the house.

Leaving Victoria to wonder why she was so drawn in.
