Chapter 2 - The Party

Stefan's P.O.V.

Everyone was here. We were waiting for Caroline and Elena. They were out shopping for the perfect dress. Of course Elena didn't know what it was for. I heard Caroline's car. 

"Everyone, shh! They're coming!" Bonnie said. We turned off the lights and everyone hid. They opened the door and we all jumped and yelled "Happy Birthday!" Elena's face was priceless. She was surprised but then she started laughing.

"You look stunning!" I walked over to her and kissed her.

"Thank you so much." She smiled.

"Happy birthday, my love." I said. She kissed me again.

Everyone was having fun. I looked around to find Damon but I couldn't see him. I hadn't seen him all day. Then he entered the room with an enormous pink cake in his hands. It had a big 18 on top of it. Elena had the biggest smile. She was so happy. I hadn't seen her that happy in a long time. She made a wish and blew the candles. She gave Damon a big hug and he congratulated her.

I was standing by the fireplace, eating cake, when I saw a girl outside the house. She had long brown hair and hazel brown eyes. She was not so tall, skinny. She looked so familiar. She looked like Aria. Aria was my sister but she was human. I hadn't seen her in my vampire life. Me and Damon, we loved her so much. We always protected her. We were heartbroken when they told us she was dead. 

But what if she wasn't? There was only one way to find out. I walked toward her. 

"Oh!" Suddenly, I bumped into someone. 

"Sorry." I said, not paying attention. When I looked at the place she was standing just a second ago, she wasn't there. Maybe it was just a hallucination, maybe I drank too much. But maybe, just maybe, she was here. Oh, I would be so happy to see her again. I missed her so much. I tried to find Damon and tell him, but he was too busy dancing on top of the table, with a bottle of bourbon in his hand, girls around him. I decided not to disturb him.

Aria's P.O.V.

I saw them! They were alive, the were here! After 150 years of searching, I finally found them! I was so happy. I think Stefan saw me but I ran away. I didn't want it to be like this. I wanted to be somewhere with him, alone. To talk, like we always did. I had so many stories to tell him. And I'm sure he had some too. 

It was morning. I slept at a small motel near the town. I dressed up, packed my things, and drove to Mystic Falls. I finally got the courage to knock on the Salvatore's boarding house door. A girl opened it. I saw her yesterday. It was her birthday. I think her name was Elena.

"Hi, can I help you?" She said.

"Are the Salvatore brothers here?" I asked.

"They're both out. They'll come back soon. Do you know them?"

"I'm their sister."

Her mouth dropped. She didn't expect that. I guess I was pretty forward. 

"They never told me they had a sister." She said. 

"Well, they think I'm dead. I've been searching for them a long time."

"Oh, then please, come in." She smiled.

"Thank you."

I went inside the house. It was the same as a long time ago, only some minor changes. 

"So, how did you..." 

"Die? The night he killed Stefan and Damon, he killed me too. But he didn't know we were vampires. When I woke up they weren't there. They had escaped. Since then I've been searching for them."

"Oh, well then, they'll be really happy to see you!"

"I can't wait. It's been too long. So, are you Stefan's girlfriend?"

"Yes. How did you know?" Her eyes sparkled at the mention of his name. 

"Well, Damon is not the 'girlfriend' type." I shrugged.

"You got that right." She chuckled.

Someone opened the door.

"Hey, they didn't have any--" It was Stefan. As he walked in the living room he saw me and stopped.

"Stefan!" I smiled and ran towards him. I hugged him so tight, it was getting hard for him to breathe.

"Aria? Is that you?"

"Yes!"

"I knew it was you yesterday! I can't believe you're here!" He hugged me too. Then Damon walked in.

"Aria?" He saw me. His eyes filled with tears.

"Damon! I missed you so much!" I hugged him even tighter. A tear fell from his eye. I can't believe Damon was crying!

"How is it possible?" He whispered.

"Somehow I had Katherine's blood and father shot me." I said.

"Oh my God, it's you." He couldn't even speak anymore. 

Damon always loved me more than Stefan. I'm not saying Stefan doesn't love me, he does. But Damon... I don't know, I'm his softer side.
