Mystic Falls, VA

Woods/Road

An SUV drove down the road as a couple spoke "An hour's drive to hear that crap. You know, it wasn't even a band. A guy with a guitar. An hour each way." the man said

"He wasn't that bad." the woman replied looking at her boyfriend

"He sounded like James Blunt." the man retorted

"What's wrong with that?" the woman asked

"We already have a James Blunt. One's all we need." the man said

"So why did you come?" the woman asked

The man took his eyes off the road, and looked to his girlfriend "Because I love you." he replied

The woman grinned "Nicely done." as the SUV drove forward it suddenly became foggy "What's with all the fog?" the woman asked

"It'll clear in a second." the man said as they drove out of the fog the woman noticed a man standing in the middle of the road as the fog cleared

"Watch out!" she screamed but to late, the man was then hit by the SUV smashing the windshield as the SUV spun out of control before it stopped, the couple panted

The man looked back to see the man lying in the road before he turned to his girlfriend and asked "Are you ok?" he asked

"We just hit someone! Oh my god!" the woman said bursting out in tears

"Call for help." the man said before he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of his SUV, and jogged over to the man lying in the road while his girlfriend was on the phone

"Come on, come on!" she said

"Please be alive!" the man pleaded to himself, before he kneeled down beside the man, and saw the man had on a ring, taking the ring in his hand "Oh, my god." the man whispered

The man that was lying in the street suddenly sat up, and grabbed the other man by his neck and got up and stood behind him, before he bit him on the neck. The woman not knowing what just happened to her boyfriend, got out of the car after taking a deep breath "There's no signal!" she said before she realized that her boyfriend was gone "Darren! Darren?" she called out, before she jumped frightened as something heavy was dropped on the hood of the SUV, turning around she saw it was her boyfriend Darren. When she saw the large wound on his neck, she screamed in horror before she turned around and started running only to be tackled from behind and dragged up into a tree.

Next Day

Salvatore Boarding House

A man with long spiky blonde hair (Minato's hairstyle) standing at 5'11 dressed in a black longsleeve, and black Levi jeans with black boots, stood on the roof of the large boarding house looking at the rising sun, "What the hell am I doing back here. This town has brought me nothing but misery." He thought before he looked down to a blood bag, in his hand and began to drink from it before he stepped off the roof, easily landing on his feet

Gilbert House

A girl named Elena was sitting on her window seat writing in her diary "Dear diary, today will be different. It has to be. I will smile, and it will be believable. My smile will say "I'm fine, thank you." "Yes, I feel much better." I will no longer be the sad little girl who lost her parents. I will start fresh, be someone new. It's the only way I'll make it through." she wrote before she got up and finished getting dressed and looked herself in the mirror

Gilbert House, Kitchen

Elena entered the kitchen heading toward the coffee machine her aunt Jenna Sommers was currently looking in the refrigerator "Toast. I can make toast." Jenna said

"It's all about the coffee, Aunt Jenna." Elena said as her little brother Jeremy walked in

"Is there coffee?" he asked

"Your first day of school, and I'm totally unprepared." Jenna said as Jeremy took Elena's coffee "Lunch money?" Jenna asked holding up the money

"I'm good." Elena said as Jeremy took the money

"Anything else? A number two pencil? What am I missing?" Jenna asked placing her things in her purse

"Don't you have a big presentation today?" Elena asked turning from the counter

"I'm meeting with my thesis advisor at...now. Crap!" Jenna said checking her watch before untying her hair

"Then go. We'll be fine." Elena assured when Jenna left she turned to Jeremy "You ok?" she asked concerned

"Don't start." he said drinking his coffee as he walked away, Elena watched him leave, before she turned around as a news update appeared on the TV behind her 'Missing Persons: Brooke and Darren'

Bonnie's Car

Elena and her best friend Bonnie were driving to school in Bonnie's car "So Grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, witches and all that, I know, crazy, but she's going on and on about it, and I'm like, put this woman in a home already!" Bonnie said to Elena who was smiling before she started to gaze out of the window as they drove by the old cemetery "But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands." Bonnie continued before she noticed that Elena was looking out of the car "Elena! Back in the car." she said with a smile

"I did it again, didn't I?" she asked while Bonnie just looked ahead "I-I'm sorry, Bonnie. You were telling me that…" she started

"That I'm psychic now." Bonnie finished for her smiling

"Right. Ok, then predict something. About me." Elena challenged

Bonnie looked at Elena with a smile "I see…" Bonnie started before something hit the wind shield of her car surprising them, gasping in surprise the car started to spin out of control before Bonnie got control again "What was that?! Oh, my god! Elena, are you ok?" Bonnie asked worriedly

"It's ok. I'm fine." Elena said

"It was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere." Bonnie said looking worried

"Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life." Elena said with a sigh

"I predict this year is going to be kick ass. And I predict all the sad and dark times are over and you are going to be beyond happy." Bonnie said as they both smiled at each other before Bonnie drove off, as a crow was on top of a stop sign

Mystic Falls High School

"Major lack of male real estate." Bonnie said as she and Elena walked to her locker "Look at the shower curtain on Kelly Beech." Bonnie said as a girl wearing an ugly shirt walked by "She looks like a hot ' turning to Elena' can I still say "tranny mess"?" she asked

"No, that's over." Elena said leaning on the locker

"Ahh, find a man, coin a phrase. It's a busy year." Bonnie said opening her locker as Elena looked back to Matt Donovan, staring at each other, Elena waves to Matt but he just ignored her and walked off

Sighing Elena turned back to Bonnie who had seen what happened "He hates me."

"That's not hate. That's "you dumped me, but I'm too cool to show it, but secretly I'm listening to Air Supply's greatest hits."" Bonnie said as Caroline Forbes approached them.

"Elena. Oh, my god." she said as she hugged Elena, pulling away "How are you? Oh, it's so good to see you." she said before looking to Bonnie and asking "How is she? Is she good?"

"Caroline, I'm right here. And I'm fine. Thank you." Elena assured

"Really?" asked Caroline

"Yes. Much better."

"Oh, you poor thing." Caroline said as she hugged Elena again.

"Ok, Caroline." Elena said patting Caroline's back

"Oh! Ok, see you guys later?" Caroline said pulling back from the hug and walking off

"Ok! Bye!" Elena said with a wave, before she turned to Bonnie who was smiling "No comment." she said as they walked away

Outside The High School

"Don't take more than two in a six-hour window." Jeremy warned putting some pills in Vicki Donovan's hand who took them.

"Hey, Vicki," Tyler Lockwood called walking over "I knew I'd find you here with the crackheads."

"Hey." Vicki said as she hugged Tyler

"Hey, Pete Wentz called. He wants his nail polish back." Tyler said taking the cigarette that Jeremy was smocking

"Pete Wentz, huh? How old school T.R.L. of you. Carson Daly fan?" Jeremy mocked causing Tyler to try to walk closer to him, but Vicki stopped him

"Oh, Ty, be nice. That's Elena's little brother." Vicki said

"I know who he is. I'll still kick his ass." Tyler said before he and Vicki kissed, while Jeremy looked away

Outside the School Office

Bonnie and Elena were walking in the hallway when Bonnie stopped Elena as she looked at Naruto's back as he stood in the office "Hold up. Who's this?" Bonnie asked

"All I see is back." Elena said looking as well

"It's a hot back." Bonnie said

In the School Office

"Your records are incomplete. You're missing immunization records, and we do insist on transcripts." the secretary asked

"Please look again. I'm sure everything you need is there." Naruto said compelling the secretary, who looked at him with glazed eyes before looking down at his records again.

"Well, you're right. So it is." she said looking back up to Naruto

Outside the School Office

"I'm sensing New York, and he plays the guitar." Bonnie said causing Elena to giggle

"You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground, huh?" Elena asked turning to Bonnie

"Pretty much." answered Bonnie with a nod

"Jeremy, good batch, man." a voice was heard getting Elena's attention, allowing for her to see Jeremy walk into the bathroom

"I'll be right back." she said walking off

"Please be hot." Bonnie whispered still looking into the office

Boys Bathroom

Jeremy was taking eye drops when Elena entered the bathroom, as she walked by a boy came from the stall and jumped out of her way "Whoa! Next down, chick!" he said walking out not bothering to wash his hands

Elena ignoring the boy grabbed Jeremy's face, and looked into his eyes to see if he was high. "Great. It's the first day of school and you're stoned." she said letting him go

"No, I'm not." Jeremy lied

"Where is it? Is it on you?" Elena asked trying to search Jeremy's pockets

"Stop, all right?! You need to chill yourself, all right?" Jeremy said struggling to get his sister off of him

"Chill myself? What is that, stoner talk? Dude, you are so cool." Elena scoffed before continuing her search

"Look, stop! I don't have anything on me. Are you crazy?" Jeremy asked

"You haven't seen crazy, Jeremy! I gave you a summer pass, but I am done watching you destroy yourself." Elena said, Jeremy not wanting to hear what she had to say tried to leave but she stopped him "No, no, no, you know what? Go ahead. Keep it up. But just know that I am going to be there to ruin your buzz every time, you got it?" she asked before she realized she was in the boys restroom "Jeremy, I know who you are. And it's not this person. So don't be this person." she said gently

"I don't need this." Jeremy said before leaving

Outside the School Office

Bonnie was still watching Naruto, "Thank you." Naruto said and turned around, when Bonnie saw him she gasped, as he smiled at her and continued on

Outside Boys Bathroom

Naruto walked down the hallway as Bonnie followed him, while Caroline watched him as well, as he headed for the bathroom "Uh, pardon me." Naruto said as he bumped into Elena before he looked at the door before turning to her and asking "Um. . .is this the men's room?"

"Yes. Um, I was just, Um—I was just—It's a long story…." Elena sputtered before she tried to pass before Naruto made way for her. "Thank you." she said before walking pass, as Naruto turned around and watched her leave, as she looked back at him

History Class

"Once our home state of Virginia joined confederacy in 1861, it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state. People in Virginia's northwest region had different ideals than those from the traditional deep south. Then Virginia divided in 1863 with the northwest region joining the union." Mr. Tanner said before he continued talking

Elena was in class when she looked back to Naruto who was looking out the window, with a bored expression on his face before he felt eyes on him, and he looked over and met eyes with Elena who turned away smiling, Bonnie seeing the exchange sent a text to Elena: HAWT-E. STARING U.

Elena smiled and put her phone away before sitting up as Naruto stared at her, before he went back to looking out the window

"What am I doing? She isn't her, and yet, I can't seem to leave." Naruto thought, before his gaze went to Bonnie who had been staring and blushed before she turned away causing him to chuckle lightly

Later

Elena could be found within the cemetery sitting in front of a gravestone. The gravestone she was in front of read Grayson Gilbert and Miranda Sommers-Gilbert, her parents, as she wrote in her diary

'Dear diary, I made it through the day. I must have said, 'I'm fine, thanks,' at least thirty-seven times. And I didn't mean it once. But no one noticed. When someone asks, "How are you?" They really don't want an answer,'

She paused in her writing when she noticed a crow had perched itself upon her parents gravestone and was cawing before it looked toward her "Okay, hi bird, that's not creepy or anything." Elena said before she sighed and went back to writing before she noticed fog appearing out of nowhere.

Freaked out she got up and shooed the bird away. When it took flight she sighed in relief before she turned back toward her stuff, only for the same crow now perched on the statue of another grave to start cawing at her again. Without looking away from the bird Elena quickly reached down and grabbed her bag before she rushed off.

As she made her way out she paused looking over her shoulder in time to make out a silhouette of a person standing behind a tomb. Turning around quickly she ran away from graveyard, but made the mistake of going downhill causing her to tumbled and fall. Elena hurriedly picked herself up, and looked back to see if anyone was following her, before she turned to continue running, but came face to face with Naruto freezing her in her tracks.

"You okay?" Naruto asked

"Were you following me?" asked Elena after sighing

"No actually. I just saw you fall." answered Naruo

"Uh-huh, and you just happened to be hanging out in a cemetery." Elena said

"Visiting. I have family here." Naruto replied

"Oh. Wow. Tactless. I'm sorry. It's the fog, It's making me foggy. And then back there, there was this - this bird, and it was all very Hitchcock for a second. That is the bird movie, right, the Hitchcock? ... I'm Elena." Elena ranted before calming down to introduce herself

"I'm Naruto." Naruto introduced smiling

"I know. We have history together." Elena replied

"And English and French." Naruto said with a nod

"Right." Elena said just before Naruto moved raising his arm and pulling a leaf from her hair. Blushing Elena looked down to see his ring, "Nice ring." She complimented

Raising his hand up he looked at it, before looking to Elena "Oh. Um, It's a family ring. I'm kinda stuck with it. It's weird, huh?" he asked

"No, no it's just there are rings, and then there's that." Elena said causing Naruto to smile as he looked down before he caught the smell of blood

"Did you hurt yourself?" he asked

"Oh, uh I don't know." Elena said before she moved over to a rock and placed her leg on it, and rolled up her pants leg to see a gash with a large trail of blood leading from it.

Naruto seeing this turned away as his eyes became bloodshot and veins appeared on his face "You should go, take care of that."

"It's nothing." replied Elena putting her pants leg back down only to turn and find him gone

Mystic Grill

Jeremy entered the grill and walked straight up to Vicki "Hey, Vick." he greeted

"Working." Vicki said blowing him off as she walked away with 2 trays in hand as Jeremy watched her. Vicki headed towards a table where her brother, and Tyler were seated

"Thanks Vick" said Matt looking down at his food

"Do you need another refill?" asked Vicki looking at Tyler

"I'd love one." Said Tyler watching as Vicki smiled before she walked off

Matt who was watching leaned over to Tyler "Please tell me you're not hooking up with my sister." He said

"Okay, I'm not hooking up with your sister." Tyler replied with a shrug

"You're such a dick." Matt said shaking his head

With Vicki

"Hey what's your deal?" asked Jeremy as soon as Vicki came back over "I mean summer you act one way and then school starts and you can't be bothered?"

"Look, Jeremy, I really appreciate all the pharmaceuticals, but you can't keep following me around like a lost puppy." Vicki said causing Jeremy to raise an eyebrow

"When's the last time you had sex with a puppy." said Jeremy

"Hey keep it down. I don't want to tell the whole world I deflowered Elena's kid brother." Vicki hissed

"Yeah and deflowered and deflowered."

"Look we hooked up a few times during a drug haze. It's over. You gotta back off before you ruin things between me and Tyler." Vicki said annoyed

"Oh come on! The guys a total douche. He only wants you for your ass." Jeremy retorted

"Yeah, well what do you want me for?" asked Vicki before she pushed past him

With Caroline

Caroline and Bonnie were walking around the grill, waiting for Elena to arrive "His name is Naruto Salvatore. He lives with uncle up at the old Salvatore boarding house. He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family, so they moved around a lot. He's a Scorpio, and his favorite color is orange."

"You learned all that in one day?" Bonnie asked slightly impressed

"Oh, please, I got all that between third and fourth period. We're planning a June wedding." Caroline replied before she waved to one of her friends, as Bonnie scoffed

Gilbert House

Elena was walking to the door with her jacket when she passed by her aunt "I'm meeting Bonnie at the grill." She said as she made her way to the door

"Okay have fun." Jenna said before she stopped and turned around abruptly "Wait." she said causing Elena to stop and turn toward her

"Okay I've got this. Don't stay out late, it's a school night." Jenna said getting a chuckle from Elena

"Well done Aunt Jenna." she said in amusement, before she turned and opened the door only to gasp as she saw Naruto with his hand raised telling her that he was getting ready to knock on the door

"Sorry, I was about to knock. I wanted to apologize for my disappearing act earlier. I know it was ... strange." Naruto said

"It's okay I get it. Blood makes you squeamish." Elena replied

"Um, something like that." Naruto said with a nod "Anyway I wanted to apologize for my disappearance. How's your leg?" he asked

"Oh, it's fine; just a scratch barely." Elena said before she looked around and asked "How'd you know where I live?"

"My uncle told me." Naruto lied, before he reached behind his back "Thought you might want this back" Naruto said handing over a bound book that she recognized as her diary

Elena's eyes widened in surprise as she took her diary "Oh, I must have dropped it. I-thank you." she said thinking he might've read her diary

"Don't worry, I didn't read it." Naruto said as if he read her mind

"No? Why not? Most people would have." Elena asked

"Well, I wouldn't want anyone to read mine." Naruto said

Elena looked at him in surprise "You keep a journal?" she asked

"Yeah, if I don't write it down, I forget it. Memories are too important." Naruto answered

"Yeah." Elena said nodding after a couple of moments of silence she said "I'm just gonna. . .umm, you don't have to stay out there." she then walked off

Naruto stepped to the door and tried to get in but he couldn't since she technically didn't invite him inside, "I'm fine." Naruto said after seeing he wasn't able to get in, when Elena came back he asked "Sorry, were you going somewhere?"

"Yeah, I'm meeting a friend. Do you want to come?" she asked causing him to smile

Mystic Grill

Matt and Bonnie had found each other and were now sitting down at a table "How's Elena doing?" asked Matt

"Her mom and dad died. How do you think? She's putting on a good face, but it's only been four months." Bonnie replied

"Has she said anything about me?" Matt asked

"Oh, so not getting in the middle of this one. You pick up the phone and call her." Bonnie replied

"She broke up with me. I feel weird calling her." Matt said

"Give it more time Matt." Bonnie said gently only to look over and see Naruto, and Elena walking into the grill, Matt followed her gaze to see them before he looked back to Bonnie

"More time, huh" said Matt, before he stood up and walked over to Elena, and Naruto "Hey, I'm Matt, nice to meet you." he greeted holding his hand out to Naruto

"Hi. Naruto." Naruto replied shaking Matt's hand, before Matt looked to Elena

"Hey." Elena greeted

"Hey." Matt replied

Moments Later

Caroline, along with her friends sat with Naruto at a table as they asked him about himself "So, you were born in Mystic Falls?"

"Mm-Hmm. And moved when I was still young." Naruto answered nodding

"Parents?" Bonnie asked

"Dad died before I was born, and my mom passed away, when I was 12." Naruto said solemnly before he looked to Elena

"I'm sorry. Any siblings?" Elena asked

"Half brother but we aren't on the best of terms. I live at the boarding house with my uncle." Naruto said

Caroline seeing Elena, and Naruto still looking at each other spoke up "So, Naruto, if you're new, then you don't know about the party tomorrow."

"It's a back to school thing at the falls." Bonnie said

Naruto looked at them, before looking to Elena "Are you going?" he asked

"Of course she is" Bonnie answered for Elena, as Elena blushed and pushed a locket of hair behind her ear

Salvatore Boarding House

Naruto was changing his shirt, when Zach Salvatore walked in with a newspaper getting his attention

"You promised." he said, Naruto taking the newspaper turn to the first page

"This was an animal attack." Naruto said as he looked to Zach

"Don't give me that. I know the game. Tear them up enough, they always suspect an animal attack. You said you had it under control." Zach said

"And I do." said Naruto as he shoved the newspaper into Zach chest

"Please, Uncle Naruto. Mystic Falls is a different place now. It's been quiet for years, but there are people who still remember. And you being here, it's just going to stir things up."

"It's not my intention." Naruto said

"Then what is? Why did you come back? After all this time, why now?" Zach questioned, before Naruto grabbed him by his neck and vamp sped him into the wall

"In what world do you think, that I am going to explain myself to you?" Naruto asked with a glare as Zach raised his hands

"I know that you can't change what you are. But you don't belong here anymore. Coming here was a mistake." Zach said as Naruto released him

"I can decide that for myself. Do yourself a favor, pack a bag, and leave go far away from this town, and have a family of your own." Naruto said turning away from Zach

"Uncle."

"We're done here Zach." Naruto said causing Zach to sigh and leave as Naruto went to a closet, and opened it, before he walked into it, and entered a secret door, and a light came on, showing a large room, with money on one wall, weapons, and old styled clothing on another, but Naruto walked to the wall lined with his diaries in chronological order from 1454 to 2009, taking the one for 1864, Naruto sighed as he opened it and saw a really old picture of Elena. The writing under the picture said Katherine, 1864

Flashback, 2008, December

It had been a long time, to long in fact, but the holidays, always made me think of home. And in many ways Mystic Falls was the closest place, I've ever gotten to feeling at home.

Naruto was standing in the snow on a rooftop, watching the townspeople celebrate the holiday

Salvatore Boarding House

"It's not that I'm not glad to see you, uncle Naruto, but..."

"But what, Zach? Spit it out." Naruto said sipping blood from a glass, while he sat on the couch beside Zach who looked uncomfortable

"Well what are you doing here?" Zach asked

"Just visiting Zach. Came to see the town I helped build was fairing is all." Naruto said

"And have you heard from your brother lately?" Zach asked

"Who?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow

"I guess that answers that question." Zach sighed "Well I'm glad, to know you're in town. Although, I would've noticed eventually, I've been keeping my eyes peeled for, well you know."

"I told you, I sustain myself off of blood bags." Naruto said

"Right, right." Zach nodded

"Things have been quiet, around here. The founder's council wouldn't know a vampire if it bit them in the neck." Zach said looking out the window

Later

Naruto had left the boarding house, and was walking through the woods, when he stopped, and smelt blood, walked over to a fallen tree he sucked his teeth when he saw the corpse of a girl with bite marks on her neck, "Damn it." Naruto cursed

Next Day

Zach looked at Naruto in dissaproval as Caroline Forbes left the house, having been compelled to forget she spent the night with Naruto "So you find a girls dead body, then you come home and have sex with the Sheriff's daughter?"

"I have needs Zach." Naruto shrugged looking to Zach with a grin

"What you need to do is find the vampires that did this. It won't be long before someone else turns up dead, and people began to notice."

"Back off Zach." Naruto said with a frown "I'll deal with it, then I'm out of here."

Later

A man wearing a heavy winter jacket, was hacking away at a Christmas tree in the middle of a blizzard "Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a Christmas tree?" a voice asked as two men in hoodies, walked into the clearing

"I like to do things the old fashioned way." Naruto said with a shrug

"Say, that's a coincidence. So do we." the man said

"That's right. The really old fashioned way." man2 smirked

"Why don't we show him what we mean." Man1 said as he and his companion vamped out

Naruto put his axe on his shoulder and turned to the men, before he tossed it at man2 and the wooden handle pierced through the man's heart,

"Nelson!" Man1 screamed

"Nelson." Naruto laughed 'Seriously?"

"You killed him, I'll rip your throat out!"

Naruto smirked as he vamped out "Try it."

"Y-your a vampire? Why would you kill Nelson? Who are you?"

'The name is Naruto." Naruto said walking closer

"Naruto, your Damon's brother! I know Damon, he's the one who told me about Mystic Falls!"

'You know my brother? Naruto asked standing in front of the man

"Y-yeah, we drank with him rig-ugh!' the man was rendered silent when Naruto ripped his heart out

End Flashback

"So you're here." Naruto thought with a frown as he walked into his room, and crawled into bed

History Class

"The Battle of Willow Creek took place right at the end of the war in our very own Mystic Falls. How many casualties resulted in this battle? Ms. Bennett?" Mr. Tanner said

Bonnie looking up from her work said "Um . . . a lot? I'm not sure. Like a whole lot."

"Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Ms. Bennett. Mr. Donovan? Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?" Tanner said before asking Matt

"It's ok, Mr. Tanner, I'm cool with it." Matt said getting a chuckle from everyone

"Hmm. Elena? Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significantly historical events?" he asked again

"I'm sorry, I-I don't know." Elena said after a couple of seconds with a confuse look on her face

"I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But the personal excuses ended with summer break." Tanner said

"There were 346 casualties. Unless you're counting local civilians." Naruto answered looking out the window

"That's correct. Mister. . .?" Tanner trailed off

"Salvatore." Naruto answered

"Salvatore. Any relation to the original settlers here at Mystic Falls?" he asked

"Distant." Naruto answered

"Well, very good. Except, of course, there were no civilian casualties in this battle." Tanner said

"Actually, there were 27, sir. Confederate soldiers, they fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons. They were wrong. It was a night of great loss. The founder's archives are, uh, stored in civil hall if you'd like to brush up on your facts. Mr. Tanner." said Naruto as everyone snickered quietly, while Naruto never looked away from the window

Later

The Falls

Naruto walked up to the party at the falls and began listening out for Elena

"Just admit it, Elena." he heard Bonnie

"Oh, ok, so he's a little pretty." Elena said

"Pretty, he's hot, he has that romance novel stare." Bonnie said as Naruto smiled, just as Caroline walked up to him

"Hey! You made it!" Caroline smiled

"I did. Thanks for inviting me." Naruto said with as Caroline smiled

"Well, let's get you a drink." Caroline said

"Sure." Naruto said as Caroline grabs his hand and lead him away, completely unaware that she and the man had already slept together

Bonnie and Elena were still talking "So where is he?" Bonnie asked looking around

"I don't know. You tell me, you're the psychic one." Elena said with a smile

"Right, I forgot." Bonnie said before she closed her eyes "Ok, give me a sec. Grams says I have to concentrate." she said

"Wait," Elena said as she picked up a beer bottle "You need a crystal ball." she said as she gave her the bottle. Bonnie made to grab it but touched Elena's hand, and spaced out for a while, before she came back to her senses, and abruptly pulled her hand back.

"What?" Elena asked

"That was weird. When I touched you, I saw a crow." Bonnie said confused

"What?" Elena asked shocked

"A crow. There was fog, a man. I'm drunk." Bonnie said confused "It's the drinking. There's nothing psychic about it." she said shaking her head "Yeah? Ok, I'm gonna get a refill." she said walking away

"Ok? Bonnie!" she called before she sighed and turned around to see that Naruto was behind her

"Hi." Naruto greeted

"Hi." Elena said a little awkwardly

"I did it again, didn't it?" Naruto asked causing Elena to laugh

"Yeah." Elena said with a smile as he face took on a small frown

"I'm sorry." Naruto said before he saw her frown and look after Bonnie "You're upset about something." he said seeing the change of expression

"Oh, uh, no, it's- it's just Bonnie. She's...You know what? Never mind. You're here." she stammered

"I'm here." Naruto nodded before they walked away from the party to the bridge "You know, you're kind of the talk of the town." Elena said as they walked

"Am I?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow

"Mm-Hmm. Mysterious new guy, oh, yeah." Elena said with a giggle

"Well, you have the mysterious thing going, too. Twinged in sadness." Naruto replied

"What makes you think that I'm sad?" Elena asked

"Well, we did meet in a graveyard." Naruto said

"Right. Well, no, technically we met in the men's room." she giggled "You don't want to know, i-it's not exactly party chit-chat." she said sadly

"Well, I've never really been very good at, uh, chit-chat."

"Last spring...my parents' car drove off of a bridge into the lake. And I was in the backseat and I survived, but...they didn't. So that's my story." Elena explained

"You won't be sad forever, Elena." Naruto said after a moment of silence, as Elena nodded

With Jeremy

Jeremy was taking a walk, with his drink in hand as he came upon the sight of Tyler, and Vicki against a tree. Jealous, Jeremy made to walk away till he heard the words 'no and you're hurting me' come from Vicki "Hey leave her alone." Jeremy said

Vicki then managed to push Tyler away, as Tyler turned to Jeremy "You know, you're starting to get on my nerves, Gilbert." He said as he glared at Jeremy

"Just go, Tyler. Get the hell away from me!" Vicki said appearing before Jeremy

"Vicki Donovan says no. That's a first." Tyler replied before he walked away

"I didn't need your help." Vicki said after Tyler was gone

"It seemed like you did." Jeremy replied

"He was just drunk." Vicki said trying to convince herself

"So. I'm drunk, am I forcing myself on you." Jeremy replied

"No, you're worse. You want to talk to me, get to know me, see into my soul and screw and screw and screw until you're done with me." Vicki retorted

"Is that what you think?" Jeremy asked

"It's what I know." Vicki answered before she walked off deeper into the woods, in moments Vicki found herself wandering through the woods as fog started slowly rolling in, stiffening as she heard a noise around her she looked behind her "Jeremy is that you?"

Hearing no answer she called out again, but still got no answer, so she shrugged before she turned to leave, but she didn't have a chance as something rushed her and she screamed

Party

Naruto and Elena were still talking when she saw Jeremy stumbling away from the party "God, you gotta be kidding me!" Elena said watching her brother

"What is it?" Naruto asked looking back

"My brother." she answered dropping to the ground

"The drunk one?" Naruto asked

"That would be the one. Excuse me." answered Elena as she followed after Jeremy

"Need some help?" Naruto asked

"Trust me, you're not going to want to witness this. Jeremy! Jeremy!" she called

Woods

"Jeremy, where the hell are you going?" Elena asked following him

"I don't want to hear it!" Jeremy said looking back as he continued to walk through the woods

"Yeah, well, too bad!" Elena retorted as Jeremy turned around only to trip over Vicki's unconscious body to see the blood on her neck

"Vicki? No! Oh, my god, it's Vicki!" Jeremy said looking back to Elena

"Oh, my god!"

"No!" he said placing his hand on her neck, before Vicki awoke gasping for breath

Party

Jeremy was carrying Vicki to a table "Somebody help!" Elena screamed

Matt who was drinking a beer turned to see Vicki being set on a table "Vicki? Vicki, what the hell?!" he shouted running over along with Bonnie, and Tyler

"What happened to her?" Tyler asked

"Bonnie, call an ambulance!" Matt screamed as Tyler turned and started pushing people away

"Everybody back up, give her some space!" he shouted

"It's her neck. Something bit her. She's losing a lot of blood." Elena said as Naruto from the crowed looked at the scene with a frown before he left

"Put this on her neck." Matt said desperately "Vicki, Vicki, come on, open your eyes, look at me."

Salvatore Boarding House

Naruto entered his bedroom, just as a crow appeared, from the open window

Looking to the crow, Naruto turned back to the balcony and said "Damon." Damon Salvatore was standing on the balcony with a smirk

"Hello, brother." Damon greeted

Naruto watched as Damon walked into his room, while the crow flew back onto the balcony "Crow's a bit much, don't you think?" Naruto asked

"Wait till you see what I can do with the fog." Damon said

"Tch, how basic of you." Naruto mocked causing Damon to frown "When'd you get here?"

"Well, I couldn't miss your first day at school. Your hair's longer. I like it." Damon said walking around Naruto's room

"It's been 15 years, Damon." Naruto replied looking at is brother with a glare

"Thank God. I couldn't take another day of the nineties. That horrible grunge look? Did not suit you. Remember, Nathaniel, it's important to stay away from fads." Damon said walking over to Naruto's computer desk, and picking up a book

"Why are you here?" Naruto asked with a frown as Damon used the name his step father gave him, which he hated

"I missed my little brother." Damon said placing down the book he had in his hands

"That a joke? It's been 145 years since you turned your back on me. What do you want Damon, hm because if you want to start up trouble, I will hurt you." Naruto said

"I'm here on peaceful terms." Damon said causing Naruto to scoff

"Peaceful, that why you stupidly left that girl alive tonight?" Naruto asked

"Ah. That can be a problem. . .for you." Damon said smirking

"Why are you here now?" Naruto asked

"I could ask you the same question. However, I'm fairly certain your answer can be summed up all into one little word. . .Elena." Damon said causing Naruto to frown

The Falls

The party had pretty much ended when Vicki had got attacked so, Matt hopped into the ambulance with Vicki, as Elena watched them leave Bonnie walked over to her "Hey." she said getting Elena's attention "We're gonna go to Mainline Coffee, wait for news."

Elena nodded and looked over to Jeremy who was sitting at a table watching the ambulance drive away "I gotta take Jeremy home." she said

"Elena, there's no way I'm psychic. I know that. But whatever I saw, or I think I saw, I have this feeling…" Bonnie trailed off

"Bonnie, what?" Elena asked

"That it's just the beginning." Bonnie said before she walked away

Salvatore Boarding House

"She took my breath away. Elena. She's a dead ringer for Katherine. Is it working, Naruto? Being around her, being in her world? Does it make you feel alive?" Damon asked as he stood in front of Naruto

"She's not Katherine." Naruto said

"Well, let's hope not. We both know how that ended." Damon smirked while Naruto looked him in the eye "Tell me something, when's the last time you had something stronger than a squirrel?"

"I know what you're doing, Damon. It's not gonna work." Naruto scoffed as he turned around to walk away

"Yeah? Come on. Don't you crave a little?" Damon asked hitting Naruto's shoulder to turn him around

"Stop it." Naruto said only to be pushed

"Let's do it. Together. I saw a couple girls out there. Or just, let's just cut to the chase, let's just go straight for Elena." Damon said slapping Naruto in the head

"Stop it!" Naruto said pushing Damon away

"Imagine what her blood tastes like!" Damon yelled as Naruto turned away from him as he vamped out "I can."

"I said stop!" Naruto yelled turning toward Damon, before with a snarl he tackled Damon out the window, but on the way down Damon got free from his hold

Landing in a crouch, Naruto threw a hand out, and a blade of lightning extended causing the speeding Damon to turn and be impaled through his right peck and stuck to the garage door

"What the hell?" Damon groaned his body was paralyzed

"You see Damon while you were moping around, and killing everyone you came across, I learned some new tricks of my own. So while I have you, I'm going to make this as clear as I can. Your going to stay away from Elena."

"Or what?" Damon asked with a smirk, before Naruto raised his other hand and a blade of white fire missed his cheek by an inch

"I will kill you." Naruto said before he dismissed both his blades, and Damon fell with a grunt "The paralysis will wear off in 40 minutes."

Damon watched as Naruto walked off,

Hospital

Matt sat at his sisters bedside his mind racing, hoping she would wake up soon, he looked up towards his sister to see her eyes open "Vicki...Hey, hey, it's ok. You're gonna be ok" said Matt as Vicki looked at him

"Matt…" she whispered hoarsely

"Don't try to talk ok. You're fine." Matt said gently

"Vampire" Vicki said with a little strength in her voice as Matt looked at her confused

Gilbert House

Elena was sitting in her room writing in her diary 'Dear diary, I couldn't have been more wrong. I thought that I could smile, nod my way through it; pretend like it would all be ok. I had a plan. I wanted to change who I was, create a life without the past, without the pain. But it's not that easy, the bad things stay with you, they follow you. You can't escape them as much as you want to. All you can do is be ready for the good. So when it comes, you invite it in, because you need it.'

Pausing Elena felt someone looking at her, causing her to look outside of her window, to see Naruto standing there closing her diary she made her way downstairs, and opened the door to see Naruto standing there "I know it's late. But, uh. . .I needed to know that you were ok." he said

"You know, for months, that's all anyone's wondered about me. If I'll be ok." Elena replied

"What do you tell them?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow

"That I'll be fine." Elena said

"Do you ever mean it?" Naruto wondered

"Ask me tomorrow. It's warmer in the house. We can talk. Would you like to come in?" Elena asked stepping back to let him in

Naruto smiled and answered "Yes." before he walked inside

Finished

Naruto, is 566, and Damon is 570. Stefan died a peaceful death, as they felt he wasn't cut out to be a vampire, they knew the Originals, while they were human but they were compelled to forget them when they ran from Mikael.

Naruto was turned by Rebekah, and Damon by Klaus. Naruto became a ripper, with a body count in the 5,000, Damon used to travel with him along with an 760 year old Lexi Branson to teach him control, on am animal diet for a few centuries Naruto, and Damon settled in Mystic Falls under the guise of Giuseppe II son's, using their illusion abilities. While under this guise they met Katherine, and fell in love with her, she was with Naruto at first but he caught Damon and she kissing, and the two fought and Giuseppe found out about them and raised the alarm, Katherine was vervained while the brothers escaped leaving all the other vampires to their fates.

Naruto lost control again, and went on a ripper binge through out Mystic Falls for a time, before going to New Orleans, New York, Georgia, Japan, Spain, England, and Chicago, before Lexi, saved him from himself again, and he began to survive off of blood bags, a still relatively new invention at the time.

Lily was turned into a vampire and has been in a prison world since 1465 along with the Heritics. Giuseppe never thought she had an affair, because she had relatives with blonde hair, and I don't think he ever would've suspected it anyway since Stefan didn't look like either of his parents.
