Amora

"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 had different ideas from those of the traditional deep South" The teacher explained, although me and Stefan obviously knew all about that already.

I wasn't really paying attention since it was history and i already knew everything.

I saw Elena turn around and look at Stefan and as soon as he looked back at her she went back to focusing on what the teacher was saying.

I could tell Stefan liked her, it wasn't because she looked like Katherine, i mean that was why he was first interested in her, but we both made sure she wasn't Katherine.

A blonde boy kept glancing between Elena and Stefan, looking jealous, maybe he was an ex-boyfriend of hers? I'm not sure but he's defiantly not happy about Stefan being here.

The boy looked over at another girl, the girl who was talking about me and Stefan earlier, i think her name is Bonnie.

He saw her texting someone, it was probably Elena since they seemed like friends.

He was trying to look at what she was saying but I don't think he could see.

I was right in thinking it was Elena she was texting.

Elena's phone vibrated and she looked at the message from BonnieZ

I couldn't see what it said but I could tell it was about Stefan.

When school was over me and Stefan went to the cemetery.

We saw Elena fall over so we went over to her.

"You okay?" Stefan asked.

"Were you following me?"

"No, we just- we saw you fall"

"Uh-huh. And you just happened to be hanging out in a cemetery"

"We're visiting, we have family here" I told her.

"Oh. Wow, tactless. I'm sorry. It's the fog. It's making me foggy and then back there, there was this bird and it was all very hitchcock for a second. That is the bird movie, right? The hitchcock...?" She rambled on.

"I'm Elena" She laughed

"I'm stefan, and this is Amora" He smiled.

"I know. We have history together" She smiled.

I felt so awkward they were just smiling at each other and i felt like a third wheel.

"And english and french" Stefan said.

"Right"

He picked off a leaf off of her jacket.

"Thanks" She smiled again.

"Nice rings" She said looking at mine and Stefan's rings.

"Oh. Uh they're family rings. Yeah. Kind of stuck with it. They're weird , huh?"

"No it's just- i mean there are rings and then there's that. Are you two siblings?"

"No we aren't, just good friends" I smiled.

"Oh it's just that you said family rings"

"Me and Stefan are family. Not biologically but you get what I mean, right? We're close friends"

"Oh yeah I get that"

Stefan looked down at her leg.

"Did you hurt yourself?" He asked her.

"Hmm?"

"Did you hurt yourself?" I repeated for him.

"Oh, uh, i don't know" She said before putting her leg up on a rock and checking to see if she did hurt herself.

She lifted up her jeans and she had a cut with blood falling down her leg.

"Oh, would you look at that. That is not pretty" She laughed.

Me and Stefan both turned around at the sight of blood.

"Are you okay?" She asked us.

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

"Really, it's nothing" She said and pulled her jeans back down but before she could look back at us we both were gone.

——————

I was sat on Stefan's bed while he was writing in his diary, I had one too, Stefan got me into it.

He thought it was a good idea so I did too.

But he done it a lot more then i did.

I'm glad he had a diary though, it's a good way for him to get his feelings out.

I was watching him write and he looked extremely stressed.

"Are you alright, Stef?" I asked.

"I'm fine" He smiled and nodded, going back to writing.

Narrator

"His name is Stefan Salvatore, hers is Amora Sage Sutton. They both live with Stefan's uncle at the Salvatore boarding house. He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family. They moved around a lot. I'm not sure about the girl though. He's a Gemini, she's a aquarius, his favourite colour is blue and hers is pink" Caroline said, obviously talking about Amora and Stefan.

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

"Oh please, I got all that between third and fourth period. We're planning a June wedding" Caroline was talking about Stefan, obviously.

Amora

Me and Stefan were stood outside Elena's house when she opened the door.

"Oh" She said, surpised.

"Sorry, I was about to knock" Stefan said

"We wanted to apologise for our disappearing act earlier. We know it was strange" I apologised.

"No worries. I get it. Blood makes both of you squeamish" She laughed.

"Something like that" Stefan smiled and nodded.

"How's your leg?" I asked.

"Oh, it's fine. Just a scratch, barely. How did you know where i lived?" She asked.

"It's a small town, we asked the first person we saw" Stefan said.

"We thought you might want this back" I told her and handed her diary to her.

"I must have dropped it. I- thank you"

"Don't worry. We didn't read it"

"No? Why not? Most people would have" She smiled.

"Well, I wouldn't want anyone to read mind" Stefan said.

"You keep a journal?" She asked.

"We both do" I nodded.

"Yeah, if I don't write it down, I forget it. Memories are too important" Stefan told her.

"Yeah. I'm just gonna...um.. you don't have to stay out there" She laughed and walked inside her house.

We stayed outside since obviously we couldn't walk in the house.

"We're fine"

"Sorry, were you going somewhere?" Stefan asked.

"Yeah, i'm meeting a friend, do you wanna come?" She asked us both.

—————
Me, Stefan and Elena walked into Mystic Grill.

The boy who watching Stefan and Elena in class was here, he was talking to Bonnie

He walked over to us.

"Hey, I'm Matt. Nice to meet you both"

"Hi. Stefan" They shook hands.

"I'm Amora" I smiled at him.

He smiled back and shook my hand too.

He looked at Elena.

"Hey" She said.

"Hey"

——————

We were sat at a table with Elena's friends, Caroline and Bonnie.

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

"Mm-hm, I moved when I was still young but Amora wasn't born here"

"Parents?" Bonnie asked.

"Both of our parents passed away" I told them.

Stefan looked at Elena.

"I'm sorry" To which Stefan nodded.

"Any siblings?" She asked.

"None that I talk to" Stefan told her.

"What about you, Amora?"

"Uh well my sister passed away" I could feel tears start to form in my eyes but I quickly blinked them away because it would be too embarrassing to cry.

"We live with my uncle. Amora moved in with us because we've been friends as long as I can remember" Stefan said.

"So, Stefan, Amora, if you're new, you don't know about the party tomorrow" Caroline said, I could tell she was annoyed that Stefan and Elena got on so well.

I liked Caroline, she was a bit annoying but I still liked her.

"It's a back to school thing at the falls" Bonnie told us.

"Are you going?" Stefan asked Elena.

"Of course she is" Bonnie answered for her.

——————

Me and Stefan were in his room while he was putting his top on.

And wow what a sight.

He didn't mind me seeing since we've been best friends for so long.

"You promised" Stefan's uncle said, walking into the room, holding a newspaper and handing it to Stefan.

Stefan started reading it.

"What do you mean? What's going on?" I asked.

"This was an animal attack" Stefan told Zach and passed me the newspaper so I could read it.

"Don't give me that. I know the game. You tear them up, they always suspect an animal attack. You said that you both had it under control" Zach said.

"And we do" Stefan told him.

"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 two being here... It's just gonna stir things up"

"That's not our intention" I said.

"Then what is? Why did you come back after all this time? Why now"

"We don't have to explain ourselves"

"I know that you can't change what you are. But you don't belong here anymore"

"Then where do we belong? Huh?"

"I can't tell you what to do, but coming back here was a mistake" Zach walked out the room.

Stefan opened up his cabinet and took out a diary, he opened it and looked at a picture of Katherine.

I knew he was upset so I gave him a hug and when we pulled away I said goodnight and walked to my room.

I was sat in history class, it was so boring.

I already knew everything.

"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? Miss Bennett?" He asked Bonnie.

"Um.... a lot? I'm not sure. But, like, a whole lot"

"Cute becomes dumb in an instant Miss Bennett"

I hated this teacher, he was rude but because he's a teacher it's fine.

"Mr Donovan. Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your jock stereotype?"

"It's okay, Mr Tanner. I'm cool with it" Matt said, making the class laugh.

"Elena? Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most historical events"

"I'm sorry, I don't know"

"I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But the personal excuses ended with summer break"

I don't get why he had to be so rude, other people didn't know it either he didn't have to be so horrible to Elena, especially in front of the class and why does he think that her pain's just gonna stop and she won't be distracted or hurt anymore? It doesn't work like that.

I do not like this teacher.

"There were 346 casualties, unless you're counting the local civilians" Stefan answered.

"That's correct, Mr...?"

"Savaltore"

"Salavatore. Any relation to the original settlers here at the Mystic Falls?"

"Distant"

"Well, very good. Except of course there were so civilian casualties in this battle"

"Actually, there were 27, Sir. Confederate soldiers fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons. And they were wrong. It was a night of great loss. The founders archives are in Civil Hall if you'd like to brush up on your facts.... Mr Tanner"
