The vampire brothers Damon and Stefan Salvatore, eternal adolescents, having been leading "normal" lives, hiding their bloodthirsty condition, for centuries, moving on before their non-aging is noticed. They are back in the Virginia town where they became vampires. Stefan is noble, denying himself blood to avoid killing, and tries to control his evil brother Damon, who promised to Stefan an eternity of misery. Stefan falls in love with schoolgirl Elena, who has an uncanny resemblance to the Salvatore brothers old love, Katherine; and frighteningly enough, her little sister ,Emma, has the same resemblance to Katherine's little sister Katelyn, who he more loved, and to top it off their best friend Bonnie, is a witch. (I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT EMMA AND KATELYN.)
