THE BENNET SISTER || The Vampire Diaries

The Departed

Gilbert Residence (Past)...

Elena's radio alarm clock goes off at 6:45 in the morning. She turns up the music and gets out of bed. She pulls her hair up into a ponytail and dances a bit in front of the mirror. She grabs her pom poms and throws them onto the window seat where her cheerleader uniform is laid out. After changing into her uniform, Elena walks downstairs and into the kitchen where Aunt Jenna is making coffee, "Hey," Jenna says.

"Jeremy locked himself in the bathroom again. Does he think we don't know what he's doing in there?" Elena asks.

"He's fourteen. They don't think. Maybe we should send him off to New York just like Bonnies father did to Blair," Elena grabs the coffee pot, but Jenna takes it back. "Hey! You'll get me in trouble."

Miranda walks into the kitchen, "Good morning," Miranda greets.

"Morning, mom," Miranda kisses Elena on the cheek.

Mystic Falls Hospital...

Elena wakes up in a hospital bed at night and looks around. Later when she's asleep, Meredith and Jeremy are outside her room, observing her, "She's gonna be fine. She got a little banged up today, hit her head, but it was just a slight concussion, nothing to worry about," Meredith says.

"But she collapsed, there was blood," Jeremy says.

"Honestly, Jeremy, she's okay. She's just...she's been through a lot. Is there anyone you want to call?"

Bennett Residence...

"Blair?" Bonnie says coming in my room. She watches me toss and turn and my nose bleed. She shakes me. "Blair. Wake up."

"I just wanna know who I am." I begged. "I want to be able to handle my own worries."

sigh, "Let me tell you your history that not even your grams would have known. It doesn't start in New Orleans where your bloodline is from but surprisingly in Mystic Falls..."

Days before Blair was born...

"The usual?" The bartender said to him.

He nodded with a sigh, "yes," The bartender handed him a glass and poured the bourbon. He picked up the glass and gulped it down like a shot and placed the the glass down on the counter wiping his mouth.  The bartender poured more. "Just hand me the bottle," He says with his hands out and the bartender handed it to him and walked away.

He continued to drink as he got drunker and drunker he began to babble, "Spells and spells. I cant do this anymore." The bartender just looked at him crazy. Simple because this is not unusual for him to come in and leave very drunk. "Hey!" the guy says to the bartender. "Look did you know you live among creatures!"

"Oh really?" The bartender says acting like he believes it.

"Yes! Im one! Theres magic all in this town!" He laughs taking another drink but from the bottle. "All that card magic I used to do was real magic."

"If so can you give my money back?"

"Dont I pay you back with drinks?"

The bartender shook his head.

"Dude what are you doing!" A lady says coming into the mystic grill. She walks over to him take the bottle out his hand. "We have to practice!"

"Hey!" He slurred. "I was drinking that!"

She places the bottle on the other side of the bar. "Sorry Peter." She says to the bartender. "I hope your kids are good."

Peter nods, "Yes Matt is great and Vicki. Im hoping to get a new job Kelly is tired of waitressing."
