"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?" Tanner asked scanning the classroom to see who's paying attention and who's not. "Miss Bennett?" He asked. Bonnie looked up from her phone having no idea what the answer was.

"Ummmm...a lot?" She questioned. "I'm not sure. Like a whole lot." Matt giggled at her.

"Cute becomes dumb in an instant miss Bennett." He said rudely to her. "Mr. Donovan would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?" Tanner asked him next.

Matt shook his head. "It's okay Mr. Tanner I'm cool with it." Matt said not even wanting to attempt to guess the number knowing he wasn't going to answer it correctly anyways.

"Hmm...Nyx? Surely you can enlighten us about one of the towns most significantly historical events?" He asked staring her down. His face grew irritated with how long she was taking.

"Ummm..." Nyx was caught off guard and panic arose in her. But deep down a small, unfamiliar voice spoke up. "346 unless you count the local civilians." Nyx blurted out all eyes were on her, including Stefan's. How the hell did she know that? Most people here in mystic falls don't know that answer.

"That is correct except there were no local civilians casualties in this battle."

"Actually she's right." Stefan spoke up.

"Mr..."

"Salvatore."

"Salvatore any relation to the original settlers here in mystic falls?"

"Distant. But there were 27 sir. Confederate soldiers they 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 stored in civil hall if you would like to brush up on your facts Mr.Tanner." Stefan said as the entire class laughed quietly at the teacher. But Nyx only sat there in pure shock at herself.

Nyx and Bonnie were standing by the bonfire both drinking a beer.

"Just admit it Nyx!" Bonnie spoke up catching Nyx's attention.

"Okay so he's cute."

"He has that romance novel look to him and his stare." Bonnie then started to looked around for him. "So where is he?"

"Umm...I don't know? Actually you tell me your the psychic one." Nyx laughed at the thought of her best friend being psychic.

"Right I almost forgot. Alright give me a second grams told me I have to concentrate."

"Oh wait!" Nyx said quickly chugging the rest of her beer. "Here you need a crystal ball." She said handing the now empty bottle to Bonnie. Reaching out she grazed Nyx's fingers and froze in her place. Getting a vision of complete darkness, until in the distance she saw a man, but it was to foggy to see anything else. Then out of nowhere a crow flew down, too close for her liking and Bonnie gasped out seeing nothing but Nyx now. "Bonnie...What just happened?"
