I stared at the flashing cursor through my square lenses. What's today? What's today?
"Mom!" I yelled from the couch. "What's today's date?"
"December 13th." She yelled back from the kitchen.
I typed the 日付 at the 上, ページのトップへ of my European History report.
"Done." I whispered and the door bella rang. "I got it!" I pushed my glasses ontop of my head and ran to the door. It rang again. "I'm coming! I'm here!" And I pulled the door open.
"Happy 16th Birthday."
"Uncle Stefan!" I threw my arms around his neck. "What are あなた doing here?" I stepped back in as he followed.
"Don't I always come for you're birthday?"
"My birthday is 次 week." I closed the door and followed him to the living room. " Yes, and I won't be able to make it then. Where is everyone?"
I plopped back down infront of my laptop. "Mom is in the キッチン and-"
"I am right here." Dad walked down the stairs and into the living room. "Little brother!" Uncle Stephan stood and gave Dad a hug.
"Damon. あなた look exactly like あなた did a 年 ago."
"So do you. Killed anybody improtent lately? Done anything exciting in your life? And no, slipping on ice doesn't count."
"Your very funny. Actually I just got back from Italy. I'm going to Rome in a few days so I stopped によって for Alexa's birthday a little early."
"Stefan?" Mom rounded the corner with two drinks, handing one to Dad. "You're early this year." She kissed one of his cheeks and a one arm hug.
"Hello Elena. Well like I told Damon and Alexa, I'm leaving in a few day's for Rome so I stopped によって early. I hope あなた don't mind."
"No. Of course not." She wound one arm around Dad's-Damon-waist, and stood 次 to him.
"Alexa. I got あなた something a little もっと見る special this year. Everyone else in the Salvatore family has one but you. Your hand?"
"Which one?" I laughed and handed him my right hand.
"Close your eyes."
I looked at him questionably but did as he asked.
I felt a small band slide onto my index finger.
"Okay."
I opened my eyes and stared down at the intricate silver ring that wrapped around my finger. A vine wrapped around the blue stone in the center with little tiny pearls.
"That stone is a lapiz lazuli. It's the stone in mine, Damon's and your mother's ring."
"Uncle Stefan. It's beautiful. Thank you." I stood up and gave him a hug.
"Go get cleaned up. ディナー tonight is at 7 insted of 8." Mom walked over, grabbing my laptop and handing it to me. "Go ahead and print your paper out too."
"Paper on what?" Dad asked as I walked past him.
"European History, Dad!" I yelled to him over the banaster and went into my room.

Elena

"Mom!" Alexa called from the living room. "What's today's date?"
"December 13th!" I yelled back to her.
Alexa looked alot like Damon. Her eyes were the same crystal blue/green. Her hair was just as dark as his pinstraight and to the middle of her back. She, just as I was, was the IT girl at her school. The girl every other girl wanted to be and every guy wanted to date. Her best フレンズ were Sarah, Bonnie's daughter, and Marie, Caroline's daughter. She was also dating the qauter back of her school's football team, Karson Andrews.
She had all A's and never missed a 日 of school または work. She was the perfect daughter. Especially someone who shared the same DNA as Damon Salavtor. I laughed to myself at my own pittyful joke.
The doorbell broke my train of thoughts.
"I got it!" Alexa yelled. It rang a few もっと見る times. "I'm comming!" She also had Damon's temper.
"Uncle Stefan!"
Uncle Stefan? What was Stefan doing here?
"Don't I always come for your birthday?" Alexa's birthday wasn't untill 次 week.
"My birthday is 次 week." She pointed out to him.
"Yes, and I won't be able to make it then. Where is everyone?"
I heard the door shut and the ソファー, ソファ cushions shift as Alexa and Stefan sat down. "Mom is in the キッチン and-"
"I am right here." Damon's foot steps decended down the stairs. "Little brother!"
Stefan stood do give him a quick hug. "Damon. あなた look exactly like あなた did a 年 ago."
"So do you." Damon told him. "Killed anybody improtent lately? Done anything exciting in your life? And no, slipping on ice doesn't count." Smart ass. I laughed to myself as I poured Damon and I a drink.
"Your very funny. Actually I just got back from Italy. I'm going to Rome in a few days so I stopped によって for Alexa's birthday a little early."
"Stefan?" I handed a drink to Damon and gave Stefan and akward one armed hug and a キッス on the cheek. "You're early this year."
"Hello Elena. Well like I told Damon and Alexa, I'm leaving in a few day's for Rome so I stopped によって early. I hope あなた don't mind."
"No, of course not." I wrapped one arm around Damon and he placed a hand on the small of my back.
"Alexa." He turned his attention back to her. "I got あなた something a little もっと見る special this year. Everyone else in the Salvatore family has one but you. Your hand?"
"Which one?" She joked and held out her right hand.
"Close your eyes."
She gave him a funny looked then did as he suggested.
He took a ring out of his pocket and put it on her middle finger of her right hand. Just like Damon's was. I knew what it was. It was a lapiz lazuli.
"Okay." he told her and she opened her eyes examining her new possesion. She wouldn't take the ring off. I was sure of it.
"That stone is a lapiz lazuli. It's the stone in mine, Damon's and your mother's ring."
"Uncle Stefan, it's beautiful. Thank you." She stood up to give him a hug.
"Go get cleaned up. ディナー is at 7 insted of 8." I handed her, her laptop. "Go ahead and print out your paper too."
"What paper?" Damon asked as she walked by.
She was already up the stairs and hanging over the banaster. "European History, Dad." She called down to him then dissapeard into her room closing the door.
"There is vervain in the pearls on her ring." Damon's temples flared and his jaw was locked together.
"Yes." Stefan put his hands in his pockets.
"Why?" Damon walked to stand クロス armed infront of him
"Another reason I came early."
I walked up behind Damon, the left side of my body hid.
Stefan looked at me then back to Damon. "We're not the only vampire's in Mystic Falls anymore."
