Moonlight Dwelling

Dear Diary

I do wonder about my Grams. She went on and on about being a witch. Sure I have psychic powers. I think she belongs in a home especially when she mentioned that our ancestors were related to the Salem witches. Where does she come up with that stuff anyway? Oh yeah she probably saw it in her crystal ball.

Maybe I'll ask her if I can borrow it. I did predict Obama and Heath Ledger. It would be pretty cool if it were true. Of course it isn't because Grams is just a crazy lady that likes drinking a lot. I'm sure she was drunk when she went on about me being psychic. I certainly didn't predict that a bird would run into my car. Now that was weird. Maybe if I practice I can get the hang of this psychic thing. It could come in handy.

The new guy Stefan is hot and he's totally into Elena. Caroline wasn't too happy about that. It would be great if my prediction about this being a great year would come true. There's just something about that guy. Now if only I could find someone for myself. I need to tap into my psychic powers to see if there's a hottie in my future.

I do feel bad for Matt. He's a good guy but I don't think he has a chance. It's great that Elena came out. She's putting on a brave face but I know she's still hurting about losing her parents. It takes time but maybe this will be a turning point for her. Matt has been so hung up on her that I don't think he'll just get over her any time soon.

Dear Diary

Mr Tanner is such a dick. He was horrible to Elena. I don't know what his problem is. Maybe he needs to get laid. But Stefan put him in his place knowing something that Tanner didn't. He wasn't too thrilled about that. So he's hot and smart with that romance novel star of his. Elena totally likes him.

Grams says I need to concentrate. I'm sure it was the drinking that made m see the crow and fog. That doesn't make any sense. It's crazy but I did catch a flash when I touched the bottle of beer. I think that's a poor choice for a crystal ball. And I'm sure it didn't help that I was a bit drunk. I wonder if Grams has one. She just might. But if I ask her she'll just go on and on about whatever craziness she comes up with next. 

That was so weird. Nothing like an animal attack to bring a party to a screeching halt. Vicki was attacked and she wasn't the first either. There was a couple that got attacked too but Vicki was lucky since it looks like she'll be fine. The whole thing is weird. Something is happening and I think it's just the beginning. I know I'm not psychic but I can't shake this feeling.

Dear Diary

Grams was once again looped on liquor. She went on about me being a witch. So does that mean I can fly around on a broomstick? It's like she's obsessed with this whole witch thing. Do I have to start looking for warts?

I guess every family has at least one crazy relative. I'm not a witch. I certainly don't have any powers. Grams did mention that the comet is a sign of impending doom. Could be she right? Caroline can be a bitch at times. I hate it when she cuts me off.

I don't really buy Gram's crazy claims but things have been strange lately. There's been all those animal attacks. I should make sure to get Mace just in case. If an animal tries to snack on me I'll just point and spray. I hope I don't have to test that theory.

That was so weird. Maybe I've been  hanging around Grams too much but I felt something when I touched Stefan. It felt like death or what I'd imagine death would feel like. I know it sounds crazy and this time I can't even blame it on being drunk.

Dear Diary

Throughout the day I've been thinking about these three numbers 8, 14, and 22 but I didn't know what they meant. I guess it could have been a locker combination but I couldn't stop thinking about them. I even doodled them. Elena joked about me playing the lottery. I just had no idea what was going to happen. How could I know something like that would happen? I am so freaked out by what happened.

The numbers that I'd been thinking about or rather obsessing about were all there. It was horrible Mr Tanner was another victim of those animal attacks. Matt found the body. I just can't believe it. But I looked around and I found all three numbers while they were taking the body away. He was found by bldg 8 so I saw that sign and there was a license plate that had 14 in it along with space 22. Oh my god is Grams right?

Dear Diary

I'm so freaked out right now. I went to the Founder's Dance and the strangest thing happened. I was just sitting at the table when the flame on the candle near me went out. Sure it could have been a breeze or maybe someone was walking by but I was thinking about how stupid it was to have this candle on the table lit. I focused on it and the flame appeared. I think I relit the candle.

I'm not sure how I relit the candle but I think I did it. I thought Grams was crazy with all her witch talk. I even lit all the candles after Mrs Lockwood who is such a bitch complained to that poor waiter about the candles being out. I think I put them all out. I think she might be right about me being a witch. Maybe I should talk to Grams about this. I can't talk to anyone else about this since I don't know what's going on.

Dear Diary

I seem to be obsessed with candles. I find myself staring at the candle waiting to see if I could light it. So far I haven't been able to. Maybe it was just a fluke or I need practice. This is totally nuts. During the car wash something strange happened. Kiki was being a total bitch and so rude to that poor guy which isn't new. The hose she was holding went crazy and sprayed all over here but Matt came to her rescue.

That was so bizarre. Kiki wanted me to mop up which pissed me off. I was just staring at the water which started smoking and burst into flames. I think I also set that car on fire since the flames just surrounded it. Stefan snapped me out of it. It was like I was in a trance. He did say that no one else noticed which is such a relief. I need to talk to Grams about this. Why is this happening?

Dear Diary

So I guess I'm a witch. I've been staying with Grams. I just wish she'd get to the fun stuff. She keeps talking about our history. The family came from Salem in 1692. Well that's great but I want to know how to do spells. Can I turn someone into a toad? That would be pretty cool. I thought I'd go to the Halloween party for some fun so I dressed up as a witch.

Caroline gave me this ugly necklace that went with my costume and something strange happened. I'm not sure if I did it or if the necklace did it. I was pretty freaked so I came back to see Grams. It turns out that the necklace belonged to my many greats Grandmother Emily. She showed me a picture of Emily wearing the necklace. But why did Damon want it? It seemed to shock him when he tried to take it from me.

Dear Diary

No wonder the thing was lost since it is pretty ugly. I do wonder how Damon got his hands on it since it belonged to Emily all those years ago. Maybe it will grow on me. It is ugly but at the same time it is interesting. I still don't know why Damon wasn't able to rip it off me. He certainly wanted it badly. Grams say it is mine although I tried to give it to her. It found me was her reason. I'm not sure what that means because it is just a piece of jewelry that I really wish was prettier.

I put it on and Caroline tried to take it back. She did give it to me but it was really Damon that wanted it. It is so strange that he wants this necklace or as Grams called it a witch's talisman. I still don't know why it shocks people. Caroline was going to rip if off my neck but it shocked her. I can't believe she'd do that to me. It has to do with Damon. He's so horrible to her calling her a waste of space. She shouldn't put up with that from him. It is odd how I ended up with this only to find out that it belonged to an ancestor.

I decided to tell Elena about being a witch. Well she is a my best friend and although Grams wouldn't like me sharing this I just had to. She's my best friend so of course I'm going to tell her. I couldn't keep quiet about this. It is kind of cool. I do feel bad though with this cool witchy thing while Elena's all bummed about Stefan. I really thought they were cute together but she didn't explain why they broke up. I hope it didn't have to do with what I said to her.

Dear Diary

I keep having dreams about Emily. I think she's haunting me. I can't go to Grams about this. I know exactly what she'd do. She'd tell me to embrace it and try communicating with her. I don't want that at all. I just want it to stop. It has reached the point where I don't even want to fall asleep because I know she'll be there.

She keeps asking me to help her. What could I help her with? She's dead and I'm not. There is nothing I can do about that. I think I'm sleepwalking since I woke up in the woods. Emily's creeping me out. She's all spooky looking. If she doesn't want me to be frightened she's doing a bad job.

Dear Diary

As if things couldn't get any weirder they did. I'd been haunted by Emily so I thought throwing away that necklace would solve everything. Well it didn't because somehow and I'm guessing it was Emily put the necklace back into my purse. Caroline got mad at me because she thought I was lying about. Sure I'd tell her I threw it away only to stash it in my bag only to later tell her to get something out of my bag. She just doesn't listen at times which is why I didn't tell her along with Elena.

Caroline got the idea for us to have a seance so I could contact Emily. That turned out to be a pretty bad idea. That's when Emily took me over. It was just weird having her take control of my body. I realize now that she was doing it to protect us but still it would have been nice if she just asked instead of scaring me with those dreams. She destroyed the crystal which was used in some spell to seal up some vampires in some tomb under Fell's Church. I can't believe I just used the word vampires for something that's real.

It turns out that vampires are real too. When Emily gave me my body back Damon attacked me. He bit me on the neck. Oh my god he did the same thing to Caroline. No wonder she's been acting so odd. I almost died but Stefan saved me. It turns out that he's a vampire too but a good one according to Elena. I guess I can't disagree since he did save me. That would explain that feeling I got when I touched him that time I gave him Elena's cellphone and email address.

This is just so wild that vampires are real. I wonder if Grams knows about this. I'm just glad that Elena told me. She's right that it is hard to have a secret all to yourself which is why I told her about being a witch. I do feel bad for Elena since Stefan told her that he's leaving town. She's really broken up about it while I'm still reeling about the existence of vampires. Oh my god vampires are real. No wonder I called Damon Danger Guy since he is dangerous.

Dear Diary

What a day. Stefan found me because he wanted me to do magic so I could find out if Elena was okay. I'm still a little uneasy around him although he's saved my life. Now he's saved me twice. I know he's a good guy but the vampire thing is a little hard for me to deal with but I guess I'm getting there. I'm just glad that I was able to talk to Elena for a little bit so I know she's okay but I know something's wrong.

It turns out that I was blocked since I wasn't able to do anything when he asked me. Damon was with Elena which terrifies me since he did try to kill me. Grams told me to go back to where it all started so I ended up going to the woods. I didn't tell her about Stefan and Damon being vampires. I could have sworn someone was watching me when all of a sudden the ground just opened up under me. I fell down into this tomb and on the other side were the vampires that Damon wanted released.

It was just so creepy. Stefan showed up and scared me but he got me out of there. Grams wanted to talk to Stefan. She must know he's a vampire and it looked like she knew him. I guess that isn't out of the question since he's been around for quite a while. Things are just so weird. I'm sure I was just being paranoid being in the woods all alone. Of course no one was watching me. At least I hope I wasn't being watched. That place just gives me the creeps.

Dear Diary

I ran into Damon at the grill. Who does he think he is anyway? Does he think I'm going to thank him for not killing me? What a jerk. I did stand up to him although I could feel my knees knocking after all he is a vampire. I can set things on fire with my mind. The problem is that I'm not really good at it. I guess I should work on that just in case I need to do that one day.

The cute bartender Ben came to my rescue. I'm surprised he remembered my name.  I'm just going to focus on the dance since it should be fun. I need to do a little shopping myself. At least I won't have to worry about Damon showing up at the dance. I'm still getting used to knowing about vampires. No the only one around will be Stefan and he's a good one. It is weird but the important thing is that he makes Elena happy.

Dear Diary

Oh great Damon was at the dance. I was having a good time until he showed up. Caroline and I ended up going to the Grill where I enjoyed my hottie parade. I decided to take my advice to be bold. I went right up to Ben and asked him out. I have a date with him. I suggested karaoke but I guess a dinner and a movie would be fine too. I didn't let anyone rain on my hottie parade.

I'm proud of myself for stopping the eye stalking and making with the doing. I can't believe I did it but I did. I asked a hot guy out. I wonder what I'll wear. This does make up for Damon showing up. There had to be some reason Elena showed up with Stefan and Damon. I'm sure she'll tell me about it the next time I see her.
