In which ༺ a girl still reeling from grief crosses paths with a man who is broken with a dark past, and she can't tell if he will save her, or turn her life into more hell.
Athena Grace Gilbert was a firework. The sun, shimmering and shining with love over those around her, but sometimes a flame. - willing to fiercely protect those that she loves or against those who cross her. She was extremely intelligent, top of her class, co-captain to Caroline Forbes her best friend as a cheerleader. As a friend she was loyal and caring, also silly and protective. As a sister, to her twin Elena Gilbert, she was known as the Momma Bear, only 3 minutes older than Elena she looked out for her and Jeremy like her life depended on it. Elena and Athena hadn't always gotten along, twin sister rivalry and whatnot but.. when it came down to it, they'd die for each other.
When the Gilbert's car went over Wickery Bridge, a part of Athena died. Her parents, the ones who - when Athena protected everyone else - would protect her. Athena felt hopeless. Nothing was the same anymore. She would lock herself in her room and listen to music and paint and never come out. She spent her summer that way, slowly drifting from her family and friends who adored her.
But for Athena, a new school year meant a new start. She wouldn't stand to be that weak girl she was once before. She would break out of her shell and not spend the rest of her high school years in sadness.
But a new year wasn't the only thing different... the Salvatore brothers came to town, leaving chaos and mystery in their wake. Athena's life was brought into shambles as soon as she felt it pick up again. She begins having odd experiences, and is made to question her identity, and everything she knows about love. --but hey, Athena was a bookworm....
She loved a good mystery.

"You really gonna do this Alexa?" Elena snarls at her, and she chuckles, "You started this Elena. Don't try and act like the victim." Alexa snaps back and Elena frowns.
"You took everything from me, what was I supposed to do? Watch you shine in all your glory?" Elena asks, and if looks could kill, Alexa would be dead by now.
"Oh really, what did you I take from the precious Elena?" Alexa snaps back, waiting for her twin sisters pitiful response.
Elena, "Him. He was mine." And when those words leave Elena's mouth, Alexa knew exactly who this was about.
Alexa smirks and starts taking steps towards her sister, "Was he really yours if he wanted me so bad?"
And that's all it takes.

Alexa was shy. She rarely left the house and she barely had any friends.
Elena was outgoing. She was always out of the house and had tons of friends.
They were complete opposites. But somehow they managed to get into a huge mess together, dragging Jeremy and all their friends with them.
But first, it all started when two brothers came to town.
