The Turning

August 29 1864

It was painful. Seeing myself this way. It was always dark, like it was always night. Everyone's been wondering where I am, but little do they know, I home. I'm trapped in my home with my brother, Damon. I wouldn't dare tell my father why I wouldn't come out. He's apart of the Mystic Falls counsel. The counsel was founded by my dad's generation. Along with the Lockwood and Forbes family. Mayor Lockwood was the one who officially started the counsel, along with my dad. My family, the Salvatores, were well known in Mystic Falls. My father referred us as the "Seductive Salvatore Brothers". He always thought the ladies of the town were quite fond Damon and me. The ladies didn't seem to be all over us, until now. My father has received very many letters to the two of us from very many women. Damon has always been the ladies first choice until we met Katherine. Damon and I were madly in love with Katherine. She was always with one of us. Most of the town even thought she was a Salvatore. She had always called me "Sexy Stefan". I always thought it was a silly name, until Katherine passed in a fire where many people were killed for no reason. I often believe my father had something to do with it, and Damon believes he's not telling us everything. I think about Katherine pretty regularly. I miss her, but maybe it's for the best. Damon's not handeling it well at all.
