Anastasia WIlson had moved to town a few months ago, making friends quickly with the group, (Elena, Damon, Stefan, Caroline, Bonnie, Jeremy etc.) She had especially become close to Stefan, the two of them becoming best friends within weeks of her arrival to the small town. The Originals had arrived before her, and a week after she had come into town, It was when Esther had come back, to host the Mikaelson Ball. Stefan had forced Ana to join them, and that is where Ana and Elijah's love story begins.
