The Owl Gilbert

1:10: Look A Like

I'm downstairs in the kitchen packing a bag of food to take to school and walk back to see Jenna getting her bag, and Elena walks down the stairs. "Jeremy's got his sketchpad out." Elena says. "You’re kidding." Jenna says. "Nope. But don’t say a word. The minute we encourage him, he’ll put it away." I say. "Psychology Major. Check that. Oh, wait." Jenna says and we all laugh, and see Elena checking her phone. "You and Stefan?" Jenna asks and we walk over to Elena. "Update?" She asks and Elena buttons her jacket up. "He knows how I feel and where I stand and I know where he stands but it doesn’t matter. He’s leaving, moving away." Elena says. "Where is he going?" Jenna asks. "I've stopped asking questions. The answers get scary." Elena says, as we follow her to the door, she opens it with her right hand and we all walk out; her closing it behind us. "Yours leaves. Mine returns." Jenna says. "Logan?" I ask. "He's back." Jenna says and Elena groans. "I didn’t let him pass the front door." Jenna says. "I hope you slammed it in his face." Elena says. "Ah, medium slam." Jenna says. "Three strike rule, Jenna. You're not even aloud to watch the news." I say. "Exactly. No more Logan 'Scum' Fell." She says.

I'm walking with Elena and Bonnie in the school hallway as it's Career Day. "Did I miss something?" Elena asks as we see Matt and Caroline smile at each other. "They’ve been hanging out." Bonnie says. "Kind of weird, don't you think?" I ask as Matt and Caroline back into a classroom. "She needs someone nice like him, as opposed to a homicidal vampire like Damon." Bonnie says. "Yeah, how are you doing with all that?" I ask. "I’m freaked out. Damon attacked me. I could be dead right now. But I'm also grateful." Bonnie says. "Hm?" Elena asks. "To Stefan. He saved my life and.. have you seen him?" Bonnie asks as Elena takes her purple scarf off with her left hand and opens her locker with her right, and puts the scarf and her bag inside. "Not since he told me he was leaving. For all I know, he’s already gone." She says. "He wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye." Bonnie says as we look at her and Elena grabs her books. "Yes, he would. He thinks he’s protecting me. Clean break and all that." She says. "So what are you gonna do?" Bonnie asks and Elena closes her locker and we start walking down the hallway. "What am I supposed to do? I’ve already begged him not to go. If I ask again, I’m being selfish. It is what it is." Elena says. "Well, maybe it's for the best." Bonnie says and we all stop walking. "What? Why?" Elena asks. "I mean, what kind of future could you have had with him, even if he stayed?" Bonnie asks and a banner that says 'The Promise of your Future.' "Did you just--" Elena says and gets interrupted by Bonnie. "No, I swear." Elena says and storms off to class.

It's nighttime as everyone is at Career Day and I meet up with Stefan and Elena. "I’m guessing you’re not here to plan the path for your future." She says and I notice he has his arms crossed. "You’re looking out for us." I say and they both look at me. "Hope that’s ok." He says, smiling softly and Elena walks over to a table, silently and Stefan puts his arms down and we walk over to Elena. "You know I wanted to be a doctor before everything happened, but, uh, then I couldn’t, because.." He says. "The blood." I say as we're looking through random pamphlets and move to another table. "Yeah. I’ve dabbled in a bunch of different things, though." He says. "Didn’t love anything enough to stick to it?" Elena asks. "No, I.. I loved it all. I just.. I had to move on before anybody could notice that I wasn’t getting any older." He says. "How long before that would happen?" Elena asks. "Few years, usually. Sometimes shorter." He says. "And you always left?" I ask and see Elena finally look at him. "I didn't have a choice." Stefan says and Elena looks away from him. "So, what about-- what about you? What are your, uh, plans for the future?" He asks and she looks at him. "I don’t wanna talk about my future, Stefan. Because everything you’re saying is making it perfectly clear that you’re not gonna be in." She says. "Elena, it’s not that I don’t wanna be in it." He says. "You can’t, I get it. I heard you the first time and the second time, and I appreciate you looking out for us but, please, if you’re gonna leave, then just go." She says and we hear footsteps and I see Jenna walking over to us. "Hide me." She says. "What's going on?" I ask. "The scum Fell has landed." She says. "Logan's here?" Elena asks. "Wait. Logan Fell?" Stefan asks and Jenna nods, and Stefan walks off.

"Stefan, what's going on?" I ask as we meet up with Stefan and see Logan walking over to us. "Jenna, are you dodging me?" He asks, smiling. "It’s a form of self-preservation." Jenna says and Logan puts an arm over my shoulders, holding me there and I swallow, understanding that Logan is a vampire. "Um, Elena, why don't you and Jenna go somewhere else?" Stefan asks. "Lets go." Elena says, grabbing Jenna's right hand and drags her with her. "Let him go, Logan." Stefan says and I feel Logan's grip get tighter, and I flinch from the pain. "What are you doing here, Logan?" Stefan asks. "You know, your brother asked me the same thing. In fact, why don’t we just skip past all that who turned me stuff and get the answer that I want? How can I turn into a day walker?" Logan asks. "Damon and I are the only two that I know of." Stefan says as we glance at each other. "But you're both very cagey on the how, which tells me that there is a way. You know, in case you hadn't noticed, I’m quite the celebrity in this town. It would be very, very easy for me to expose you." Logan says. "I already deleted the video from Joseph's body and the attack report." I say. "Smart one, you are." Logan says. "And all the backup files. And the back up- back ups." I say. "You wanna know how you can walk around in the sun?" Stefan asks. "I do." Logan says. "You can't. Don't ever threaten me again." Stefan says and bends Logan's hand back and pulls me to his side. "Don't think I won't kill you, Logan." Stefan says and we walk off. "Are you okay?" He asks and I give a small nod. "A little shaken up, but I'm okay. I just... I just wanna go home." I say and he nods. "Close your eyes." He says and I close my eyes and a few seconds later, I see I'm at my doorstep. "Wow. I guess vampires really are fast." I say and he laughs and dashes off.

It's late at night as I get a text from Elena asking me to bring her car to Stefan's house for tomorrow and I walk down the stairs, grab the keys on the table with my right hand and run out the door to her car. I'm driving down a dark road that doesn't have any cars or lights around it and see a photo text from Elena that is a picture of me, but the picture says 'Dimitri, eighteen sixty-four.' I give a small gasp and the car does three major flips, and I'm upside down and realise I hit a man, but see him slowly starting to get back up and realise he's  a vampire and I scream as they walk towards me.
