Well mebbee I haven’t seen my copy of ‘Twilight’ yet, but after watching the copy of ‘Transformers 2’ off Karl with Mike, I sat down to watch ‘Vampire Diaries’ 1:01
And I have asked someone if I’m right in my assertion that the television show has the feel of the film, to which I was told it had. Either way, I liked it.
‘When someone asks how you are, they really don’t want an answer,’ our heroine writes in her diary sitting in a graveyard, as a crow caws away; and an ethereal mist forms around her feet.
‘… and it was all very Hitchcock for a second,’ says the raven-haired Elena to Stephan, shortly before she stops to admire the ring he wears, then moments later notices the gash in her leg and the blood, with longing.
At The Grill, Jeremy Elena’s younger brother makes a move on Vicky, Matt’s sister as she waits on tables: and, she assures him that she’s not interested in him, just his drugs; that he shouldn’t bother her anymore, for fear of damaging her relationship with Tyler.
He arrives where Elena lives, to apologise for scaring her at the graveyard and Elena invites him to join her.
Like her, he too keeps a journal, she learns to her pleasure, when he returns hers.
In class, Stephan allows it to be known that is family Salvatore is old, as he recounts fact previously unknown to their classes History teacher.
When they walk into The Grill Matt looks up to see her enter with him, as she sits with Bonnie, who has been trying to assure him he still has a chance.
He rises and shakes Stefan’s hand, before they rejoins the others at a table.
After awhile he is asked if he’ll be going to the beach party. Looking at her, he thinks for a moment, before answering, “Yes.”
Her friend Bonnie reaches to her, as Elena passes her a beer and, for a moment, the young woman who has been joking of having premonitions actually has one, of Elena in a graveyard, mist, a crow and a stranger.
At one point, her former boyfriend Matt walks over, to assure her that he’ll be there if needed, as he has belief in her.
Then Vicky runs from her jock boyfriend Tyler and meets Jeremy, Elena’s younger brother, who she accuses of wanting only one thing from her, just like the one she runs from. She runs from the party deep into the woods, where Mist forms near her, and she stumbles. Then, all is blackness.
Later, he broods, over a lithograph, of a woman looking much like Elena. As we will learn, she is Katherine, who they both have a connection to, in their long distant past.
Then much later, after she has been found barely alive, that Stefan learns who is responsible for the spate of local animal killings and, the disappearance’s of people, including the couple that died earlier, as they’d made their way to Mystic Falls.
It was his brother Damon, darker in all respects, than he.
And, there is a confrontation between the brothers, during which Damon boasts of his abilities, with the mist and the Crow; and then later during a fight he goads Stefan, telling his brother that he is weaker, as he does not feed of humans.
During the fight the ring is removed from Stefan: and eventually returned by Damon, who knows full well it’s value to him.
As Damon departs, Stefan calls after him, “Keep away from Mystic Falls.”
And the scene cuts back to The Grill where Caroline the ditzy blonde who had thrown herself at Stefan at the beach party sits on her own, after Bonnie has left her. She had been saying how she never finds a man she wants, who wants her: and then, she looks across the room, to where Damon sits and, their eyes meet.
