The vampire diaries (completed)

Chapter 1

[A man and a girl in a car, on the road.]
MAN: 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.
GIRL: He wasn't that bad.
MAN: He sounded like James Blunt. GIRL: What's wrong with that?
MAN: We already have a James Blunt. One's all we need.
GIRL: So why did you come?
MAN: Because I love you.
GIRL: Nicely done. What's with all the fog?
MAN: It'll clear in a second.
GIRL: Watch out!
[They collide a man.]
MAN: Are you ok?!
GIRL: We just hit someone! Oh, my god!
MAN: Call for help.
GIRL: Come on, come on!
MAN: Please be alive! Oh, my god.
[The man wakes up and bites him into the neck.] GIRL: There's no signal! Darren! Darren?

[New scene. Morning. A Man.]

STEFAN: I shouldn't have come home. I know the risk. But I had no choice. I have to know her.

[Other scene. A girl writes in her diarie.]
ELENA: Dear diary, today will be different. It has to be. I will smile, and it will be believable. My smile was saying "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. [In the kitchen.]

JENNA: Toast. I can make toast.
ELENA: It's all about the coffee, aunt Jenna.
JEREMY: Is there coffee?
JENNA: Your first day of school and I'm totally unprepared. Lunch money?
ELENA: I'm good.
JENNA: Anything else? A number two pencil? What am I missing?
ELENA: Don't you have a big presentation today? JENNA: I'm meeting with my thesis advisor at...now. Crap!
ELENA: Then go. We'll be fine. You ok?
JEREMY: Don't start.
[In Bonnie's car.]
BONNIE: So grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from salem, which isn't 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! 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... Elena! Back in the car.
ELENA: I did it again, didn't I? I--I'm sorry, Bonnie. You were telling me that...
BONNIE: That I'm psychic now.
ELENA: Right. Ok, then predict something. About me.
BONNIE: I see...
[They collide a black bird.]
BONNIE: What was that?! Oh, my god! Elena, are you ok?
ELENA: It's ok. I'm fine.
BONNIE: It was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere.
ELENA: Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life.
BONNIE: 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.
[At the school.]
BONNIE: Major lack of male real estate. Look at the shower curtain on Kelly bitch. She looks a hot-- Can I still say "tranny mess"?
ELENA: No, that's over.
BONNIE: Ahh, find a man, coin a phrase. It's a busy year.
[They look at Matt.]
ELENA: He hates me.
BONNIE: 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."
CAROLINE: Elena. Oh, my god. How are you? Oh, it's so good to see you. How is she? Is she good? ELENA : Caroline, I'm right here. And I'm fine. Thank you.
CAROLINE: Really?
ELENA: Yes. Much better.
CAROLINE: Oh, you poor thing.
ELENA: Ok, Caroline.
CAROLINE: Oh! Ok, see you guys later?
BONNIE: Ok! Bye.
ELENA: No comment.
BONNIE: I'm not going to say anything.
[Jeremy and Vicki.]
JEREMY: Don't take more than two in a six-Hour window.
TYLER: Hey, Vicki. I knew I'd find you here with the crackheads.
VICKI: Hey.
TYLER: Hey, Pete Wentz called. He wants his nail polish back.
JEREMY: Pete Wentz, huh? How old school T.R.L. of you. Carson Daly fan?
VICKI: Oh, Ty, be nice. Be nice. That's Elena's little brother.
TYLER: I know who he is. I'll still kick his ass. [Bonnie and Elena behind the office.]
BONNIE: Hold up. Who's this?
ELENA: All I see is back.
BONNIE: It's a hot back.
[In the office.]
SECRETARY: your records are incomplete. You're missing immunization records, and we do insist on transcripts.
STEFAN: Please look again. I'm sure everything you need is there.
SECRETARY: Well, you're right. So it is.
BONNIE: I'm sensing seattle, and he plays the guitar.
ELENA: You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground, huh?
BONNIE: Pretty much.
MAN: Jeremy, good batch, man.
ELENA: I'll be right back.
BONNIE: Please be hot.
[Elena in the boy's toilets.]
BOY: Whoa! Pants down, chick!
ELENA: Great. It's the first day of school and you're stoned.
JEREMY: No, I'm not.
ELENA: Where is it? Is it on you?
JEREMY: Stop, all right?! You need to chill yourself, all right?
ELENA: Chill myself? What is that, Stoner talk? Dude, you are so cool.
JEREMY: Look, stop! I don't have anything on me. Are you crazy?
ELENA: You haven't seen crazy, Jeremy! I gave you a summer pass, but I am done watching you destroy yourself. 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? Jeremy, I know who you are. And it's not this person. So don't be this person.
JEREMY: I don't need this.
[Bonnie looks Stefan.]
STEFAN: Thank you.
SECRETARY: You're welcome.
[Elena goes out and meets Stefan.]
STEFAN: Uh, pardon me. Um... Is this the men's room?
ELENA: Yes. Um, I was just, Um--I was just-- It's a long story. Just... Thank you.
[History's class.]
TEACHER: 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.
Text to to Bonnie from Elena : HAWT-E. STARING @ U.
[On a cemetery.]
ELENA: Dear diary, I made it through the day. I must have said, "I'm fine, thanks," at least 37 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.
[A bird is on the tomb.]
ELENA: Ok. Hi, bird. That's not creepy or anything. Shoo! That's what I thought.
[Bird is always here. The mist is all around her.] ELENA: Ahh!
[She runs and falls ... She sees Stefan.]
STEFAN: You ok?
ELENA: Were you following me?
STEFAN: No, I, uh, I just-- I saw you fall.
ELENA: Uh-Huh, and you just happened to be hanging out in a cemetery.
STEFAN: I'm visiting. I have family here.
ELENA: Oh. Wow. Tactless. I'm sorry. It's the fog, It's making me foggy. And then back there, there was this bird, and it was all very hitchcock for a second. That is the bird movie, right, the hitchcock? I'm Elena.
STEFAN: I'm Stefan.
ELENA: I know. We have history together.
STEFAN: And english and french.
ELENA: Right.
STEFAN: Oh.
ELENA: Thanks. Nice ring.
STEFAN: Oh. Um, It's a family ring, yeah. I'm kinda stuck with it. It's weird, huh?
ELENA: No, no. It's just, I mean, there are rings and then there's that.
STEFAN: Did you hurt yourself?
ELENA: Hmm?
STEFAN: Did you hurt yourself?
ELENA: Oh, uh, I don't know. Oh! Look at that. That is not pretty. You ok?
STEFAN: You should go. Take care of that.
ELENA: Really, it's nothing. She turns around but Stefan disappeared.
[Stefan's home. He writes on a diarie.]
STEFAN: I lost control today. Everything I've kept buried inside came rushing to the surface. I'm simply not able to resist her.
[Mystic Grill. Vicki works as a waitress.]
JEREMY: Hey. VICKI: Working.
[She arrives at Matt and Tyler's table.]
MATT: Thanks, vick.
VICKI: Do you need another refill?
TYLER: I'd love one.
MATT: Please tell me you're not hooking up with my sister.
TYLER: I'm not hooking up with your sister.
MATT: You're such a dick.
JEREMY: Hey, what's your deal? I mean, summer you act one way and then school starts and you can't be bothered.
VICKI: We hooked up a few times in a drug haze. It's over. You gotta back off between you ruin things between me and Tyler.
JEREMY: Oh, come on, the guy's a total douche. He only wants you for your ass.
VICKI: Yeah? What do you want me for?
[Caroline and Bonnie enter.]
CAROLINE: His name is Stefan 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 gemini, and his favorite color is blue.
BONNIE: You got all of that in one day?
CAROLINE: Oh, please, I got all that between third and fourth period. We're planning a june wedding. [Elena's home.]
ELENA: I'm meeting Bonnie at the grill.
JENNA: Ok, have fun. Wait, I got this. Don't stay out late, it's a school night.
ELENA: Well done, aunt Jenna.
[She oppens the door.]
ELENA: Oh.
STEFAN: Sorry, I was about to knock. I wanted to apologize for my disappearing act earlier. I know it was... Strange.
ELENA: No worries. I get it, blood makes you squeamish.
STEFAN: Um, something like that. How's your leg? ELENA: Oh, it's fine. Just a scratch, barely. How did you know where I lived?
STEFAN: It's a small town. I asked the first person I saw. Um, I thought you might want this back. ELENA: Oh, I must have dropped it. I-- Thank you. STEFAN: Don't worry, I didn't...read it.
ELENA: No? Why not? Most people would have. STEFAN: Well, I wouldn't want anyone to read mine.
ELENA: You keep a journal?
STEFAN: Yeah, if I don't write it down, I forget it. Memories are too important.
ELENA: Yeah. I'm just gonna, Um, you don't have to stay out there.
STEFAN: I'm fine. Sorry, were you going somewhere?
ELENA: Yeah, I'm meeting a friend. Do you want to come?
[Mystic Grill.]
MATTt:How's Elena doing?
BONNIE: Her mom and dad died. How do you think? She's putting on a good face, but it's only been four months.
MATT: Has she said anything about me?
BONNIE: Oh, no. So not getting in the middle. You pick up the phone and call her.
MATT: I feel weird calling her. She broke up with me.
BONNIE: Give it more time, Matt.
[Elena enters, with Stefan.]
MATT: More time, huh?
MATT: Hey, I'm Matt, nice to meet you.
STEFAN: Hi. Stefan.
ELENA: Hey.
MATT: Hey.
[Later.]
CAROLINE: So, you were born in mystic falls? STEFAN: Mm-Hmm. And moved when I was still young.
BONNIE: Parents?
STEFAN: My parents passed away.
ELENA: I'm sorry. Any siblings?
STEFAN: None that I talk to. I live with my uncle. CAROLINE: So, Stefan, if you're new, then you don't know about the party tomorrow.
BONNIE: It's a back to school thing at the falls. STEFAN (to Elena): Are you going?
BONNIE: Of course she is.
[Stefan's home.]
ZACH: You promised.
STEFAN: This was an animal attack.
ZACH: Don't give me that. I know the game. You tear them up enough, they always suspect an animal attack. You said you had it under control.
STEFAN: And I do.
ZACH: Please, uncle Stefan. 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.
STEFAN: It's not my intention.
ZACH: Then what is? Why did you come back? After all this time, why now?
STEFAN: I don't have to explain myself.
ZACH: I know that you can't change what you are. But you don't belong here anymore.
STEFAN: Where do I belong?
ZACH: I can't tell you what to do. But coming back here was a mistake.
[History's class.]
TEACHER: 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?
BONNIE: Um...a lot? I'm not sure. Like a whole lot. TEACHER: Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Ms. Bennett. Mr. Donovan. Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?
MATT: It's ok, Mr Tanner, I'm cool with it. TANNER: Hmm. Elena? Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significantly historical events?
ELENA: I'm sorry, I-- I don't know. TANNER:I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But the personal excuses ended with summer break.
STEFAN: There were 346 casualties, Unless you're counting local civilians.
TANNER: That's correct. Mister...
STEFAN: Salvatore.
TANNER: Salvatore. Any relation to the original settlers here at mystic falls?
STEFAN: Distant. TANNER: Well, very good. Except, of course, there were no civilian casualties in this battle.
STEFAN: 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.
TANNER: hmm.
