Deja Vu

One: Phaedra

As I run, the wind whispers in my ears and ruffles my hair. It starts to tickle my face the faster I run. The feeling of excitement flowing through my entire body. I let out a laugh when arms suddenly wrapped around me. "I caught you." A male voice says as he kisses the back of my head and holds me tighter.

I turn around, "You caught me." I say in agreement. "Do I get a reward?" He asks playfully. I stare up at his piercing blue eyes and smile. "What would you like, Mr. Salvatore?"

He pretends to think for a moment before he says, "A kiss. But only if you want to give one, Ms. Valentine." I let out a small chuckle. He's always so respectful. "I would be happy to give one, Mr. Salvatore." I lean forward and so does he. Our lips almost touching.

I let out a shriek of laughter when he's suddenly pushed away and fell into the nearby lake. I turn to see beautiful green eyes. I look at him in amusement as I raise an eyebrow. "I do hope he wasn't bothering you, Ms. Valentine." He says as he gives me an innocent smile.

I laugh and decide to play along. "He was, thank you kind sir for saving me!" I give him a dramatic curtsy before we both burst out into laughter. Our laughter stops when we hear grumbling noises.

We turn to see the blue eyed Salvatore climbing out of the lake, clothes soaked to the bone. "That wasn't necessary Stefan." He says as he glares at Stefan Salvatore, his little brother. Stefan's green eyes twinkle. "Of course it was, Damon."

Damon continues glaring before his eyes light up and he smirks. If you looked closer at Stefan you can see the dread and regret in his eyes. Damon opens up his arms to his younger brother. "You'll be forgiven when you give me a hug, dear brother." Stefan shakes his head, "I will find another way to earn your forgiveness."

"I would rather have a hug." Damon says. Damon steps closer causing Stefan to step back. It doesn't take long for Damon to be chasing Stefan, arms open as he yells about hugging. I laugh at the two.

I let out a cheer when Damon finally caught Stefan, getting his clothes wet. They both start horeplaying, tumbling over each other. I laugh harder when Stefan gets mud in Damon's ear, causing Damon to put mud down Stefan's trousers.

I gasp when I remember something. Taking my pocket watch out, I check the time. I sigh in relief, we haven't missed it and we have enough time to get ready.

"Boys!" I call to get their attention. They both immediately stop and turn to me. They run over to me. "Are you okay?" They question at the same time as they check me for injuries. I smile at their concern. "I'm perfectly fine. We must get going, we have dinner with your father in a few hours."

They both grumble. I fondly roll my eyes at them. "Oh, don't be like that. Your father said that we must be there because he has important news to give us." They stop grumbling and look at me confused.

I sigh, "You guys weren't listening were you?" They both sheepishly shake their head. I chuckle, "What would you two do without me?" Stefan smiles. "We would be lost." Damon nods in agreement, "We would have nothing to live for." I give them each a chaste kiss on the lips. "I love you both."

"And we love you." They say simultaneously. I blush, I can never get use to that, no matter how many times they say it. "We should get going. We've already wasted enough time." I say as I turn my head away from them, hoping my blush will disappear.
