Estel's POV

Dear Journal, this year I've quit cheer leading and have passed to reins to Caroline. Who is now captain of the squad. My younger sister. Some people may see her a shallow, but I don't. I love my sister and will do anything to protect her.

I've been having dreams recently of Mystic Falls in 1864. I hate these dreams, they're the reason I'm not friends with Elena Gilbert. One of Caroline's best friends. The three of us used to be close. But in freshmen year I started to have dreams of me killing Elena and now I don't trust myself around her. If I ever hurt her, it'd hurt Caroline and I'd never forgive myself.

Caroline wants me to go with her to see Elena today when we arrive at school. To check on her. I agreed, as I still care about Elena. Anyway today is the start of my senior year. Hopefully this year will fly by and I can get out of this small town. Wish me luck.

"Estel, are you ready yet?!" Caroline calls. I close my journal and hide it in the hidden compartment in my wardrobe. Where my grimoire and witch stuff are hidden. Yeah I'm a witch, the only witch in my family ever. I lock the compartment and leave my room. "I'm driving, is that ok?" she asks me once I meet her in the hall way.

"That's fine Care, lets go" I tell her. We go to her car after I lock the door. "Mum already at work?" I ask her as I grab munch on an apple I grabbed from the kitchen.

"Where else would she be?" she asks me. "You're starting senior year today. She could of stayed for breakfast or wished you luck" she tells me.

"Honestly Care, I don't care about that" I assure her.

"Do you think Elena's ok?" she asks me as she drives us to school.

"Her parents died Care, with her in the car. She miraculously survived. She'll probably pretend to be fine, but she probably won't be completely fine yet" I explain.

"All the more reason, you should be friends with her again. She needs all the friends she can get with her parents gone and after her break up with Matt" she tells me.

"Care, you know why I can't be her friend" I remind her. I'd told her about the dreams. But not about me being a witch.

"But you haven't had those dreams all summer, what if they're gone? Then there's nothing stopping you from being her friend again" she tells me.

"I don't know, I'll think about it" I mumble as we arrive. We get out and go inside in search of Elena. We find her with Bonnie outside her locker and Caroline hugs her tightly.

"How are you? Oh, it's so good to see you" Caroline says as she pulls away. "How is she? Is she good?" she asks Bonnie.

"Caroline, I'm right here. And I'm fine. Thank you" Elena tells her.

"Really?" I ask her not convinced.

"Yes, much better Estel" she assures me and I smile.

"Oh, you poor thing" Caroline says and hugs her again.

"Okay Caroline" I say pulling her away, to stop her suffocating Elena.

"Oh! Okay, see you guys later?" she asks Bonnie and Elena.

"Ok, bye" Bonnie says. Caroline and I leave them to it. I walk her to her class and then go to my Italian lesson. I want to travel the world and the easiest way to communicate is to know as many languages as possible. I know Latin and am taking Italian along with French. I'm also take English, Mathematics, Chemistry  and History as I want to write books on the history of the places I visit.

(After school)

I'm with Caroline and Bonnie at the grill. Caroline is telling us about the new boy in her class . "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" she explains.

"You got all of that in one day?" Bonnie asks her surprised and I giggle.

"Oh please, she got all that between third and fourth period" I tell her.

"We're planning a June wedding" Caroline adds smiling.

"Only if I approve" I remind her as we sit at a table with our drinks.

"You never approve of any guy I like" she says pouting.

"Because none of them are good enough for you" I tell her smiling.

"Why can't you find a guy for yourself and leave my love life alone?" she asks me. Bonnie sneaks away as we start our boy debate again. "You've never dated anyone" she states.

"So what? Besides there was that guy in New Orleans last year" I remind her. I'd gone there for the summer and hooked up with a guy called Diego. He was hot and good in the sack

"A guy you fucked for a week and left. Is hardly a relationship" she states.

"Again I ask, so what?" I ask her. I don't do boyfriends, never have. "I'm happy being single and free to have sex with whoever I want. I would much rather make sure my little sister doesn't get her heart broken" I tell her.

"I can take care of myself, I'm not a child anymore Estel" she reminds me. "There's Stefan" she says smiling. I turn to see Elena with a seventeen year old boy. I get a flash of him from 1864 with a girl that looks exactly like Elena. I shake my head to clear it.

When I focus back on the present I see Stefan, Elena and Bonnie joining us at our table. "Stefan I'd like you to meet my older sister Estel" Care says.

"Pleasure" he says holding a hand out to me. But I refuse to shake it, in fear of what I might see. I always have visions when I shake someones hand. Most of them are bad.

"So my sister has not stopped talking about you, were you born here in Mystic Falls?" I ask him.

"Mm-Hmm. And moved when I was still young" he answers.

"Parents?" I ask.

"My parents passed away" he states, but does not appear to be grieved by it like Elena.

"I'm sorry. Any siblings?" Elena asks him.

"None that I talk to. I live with my uncle" Stefan tells her.

"Shame, maybe we could of set up Estel with if you had an older brother and you talked to him" Care says.

"Honestly, Caroline drop it" I tell her. I only use her full name when I'm being serious about something or she's crossing a line.

"Fine" she grumbles and turns back to Stefan with a smile. "So, Stefan, if you're new, then you don't know about the party tomorrow" she says.

"It's a back to school thing at the falls" I explain.

"Are you going?" he asks Elena.

"Of course, she is" Bonnie says answering for her.

"I'm not" I state.

"But Estel" Care whines.

"No buts Caroline, I already have homework and I have to study harder this year if I want to keep my grades up" I tell her. "Nice to meet you Stefan" I say and leave deciding to walk home. As I walk home I feel myself being watched, but keep walking.

"Help me!" a voice calls from the alley way. I roll my eyes looking at it.

"How dumb do you think I am?" I ask the person.

"Please help!" he says groaning in pain.

"How about I call my mother the sheriff and she can get you an ambulance?" I ask as I take out my phone.

"Oh fine" he says stepping into the light. I have a flash of him dressed in a military uniform in 1864. "You caught me" he says smirking.

"Let me guess, Damon Salvatore?" I ask him.

"Have we meet?" he asks me confused.

"I just meet your brother, he gave the impression he was here alone" I state. "Now I'd leave before I report to my mother about this" I tell him pointing to the alley way.

"You're not hurt" he reminds me.

"Doesn't mean she won't lock you up for a day, for trying to lure me into a dark alley way at night" I say smirking.

"What do I have to do? To keep this between us?" he asks me with a fake smile.

"Don't try to lure anyone else into a dark alley and I won't tell my mum" I tell him.

"I have a better idea" he tells me and looks into my eyes. "You'll forget this conversation happen and that we ever meet" he states and disappears. I roll my eyes.

"Stupid vampire" I say and go home. I grab my grimoire and one of Care's hairs. I do a spell that will alert me to when she's in danger. I then call it a night.

(Next night)

I'm doing my homework while mum is at work and Caroline is still out. I had just finished when a tipsy Caroline enters the house. "Have fun?" I ask her.

"Got drunk, Vicki Donavan was attacked by some sort of animal in the woods. Bonnie sobered me up at the Grill and I saw a hot guy" she tells me.

"Oh and does this hot guy have a name?" I ask her intrigued.

"Don't know, didn't talk to him" she states and I check her forehead. "What are you doing?" she asks me confused.

"You must be sick, my sister would not not talk to a hot guy" I state. She rolls her eyes pushing my hand away. "Water is in the fridge and aspirin on your nightstand. Try not to be hang over in the morning or mum will give you a lecture" I tell her. She nods her head and goes upstairs. I pack up my books and go to my room. I change into my pjs and go brush my teeth. Then go to bed dreaming about the Salvatore brothers and Elena look alike from 1864.
