Stefan's POV
My brother had arrived early in the morning and I had stayed awake, throughout the whole night's time just to see my brother first. As I stumbled across the hallway, my brother had written to me about how he was coming back from battle as he did a job for the captain which allowed him to come home but he was to tell everyone else because of a major injury. I was so glad to hear my brother would be presenting himself at home it had been a while. I missed him, dearly, father wasn't in my favour for most of the time.
Scurrying down the steps, I saw my brother arrive. Running over to embrace him and barge him with many questions. My brother smiled as he tightly wrapped his arms around me, trying to answer as many questions as possible. However, I saw his smile falter as our father came into view in front of our home, no doubt a glass of bourbon in his hand.
"I shall not be long, brother, I have to speak to father and then I'll show you a new game." He said stiffly. I turned to see him straighten his posture as he formally said hello to father, they both walked inside as I went to the stables to see the horses.
Buttercup was my favourite, I had named him when mother was here but after she passed father was awfully mean to him. Walking in I was greeted by one of the maids, I smiled gently when her cheeks blushed a deep crimson because I had caught her speaking to Buttercup as if he would answer.
"Now, you see I wish he could speak but he, unfortunately, can't" I laughed slightly, as she giggled. Her long h/c hair was pulled back by a string and her maid's clothes were filthy, I felt bad for her as she didn't wish for this life, especially when father would treat them poorly.
"Well, Buttercup is very approachable" She laughed and continued to plait his main. "And people aren't?" I asked, genuinely.
"Not anymore, I don't think so anyway. Forgive me sir, but why speak so nice to me? I'm just a filthy maid." She spoke so softly and sounded so fragile. It actually made me feel upset, how sometimes I wish I didn't have so many higher expectations displayed on me, however, these people had to fight for survival as if it were all a hunt.
"Because I believe people are equal, I wouldn't dare share my words with father but don't you think life is more meaningful rather than a food chain for society itself? Your lives are treated as if you're animals, it's unbearable to me." I spoke truthfully.

Damon's POV
I had entered Mystic Falls, where it all had begun. I recalled all of the stolen glances and secret kisses with Y/N as I lay there. I also recall the tears that would spill down her cheeks whenever Katherine compelled me, emotions crashed into me with each memory. However, I forced them away, the guilt, the sadness, the anger, everything.
Recalling the stolen glances that Y/n and I would share, it was a lifetime ago. I don't regret many things in my life but I do regret staying in that home- allowing everything that happened, happen.
I was watching the sky seeing it shift as we used to do on them midnight trips to the opening in the woods where it had just the perfect view for the brightest stars you could see... crazy I know but I was crazy for her so I would just stare at her as she stared up at the abyss. I never knew why she cared so much for them.
I stopped as I heard that familiar voice, using my speed I went to the source of the noise. Oh I will have my way and kill her.
"Katherine."
"Um, no... I- I'm Elena"
"Oh you, you just look...- I'm sorry, you just really remind me of someone. I'm Damon," either she was telling the truth or very very good at lying as she clearly has no idea who I am. But why? Why does she look exactly like her? If only my brother was here to see this, I slightly chuckled under my breathe thinking of the face he would most definitely make if he was actually here.
"Not to be rude or anything, Damon but it's kind of creepy that you're out here in the middle of nowhere"
"You're one to talk... You're out here all by yourself."
"It's Mystic Falls, nothing bad ever happens here"
I remember Y/N once told me that, a long time ago and oh how she was wrong, maybe this Elena might have better luck.
A/N AGAIN A VERY SHORT CHAPTER FILLED UP WITH NONSENSE BUT I SWEAR I HAVE A PLAN HAHA, IT IS HOWEVER GOING TO DO A LOT OF TIME JUMPS AND CHARACTER SWITCHES.
