A/N: Welcome, the story "Demeter or Salvatore" is the third story in a series, which started with "The Lost Salvatore" and was followed by its sequel "The Wayward Salvatore". I hope you all enjoy reading this story as much or even more than I enjoy writing it.

My name is Stefan Salvatore, and I am a vampire. And over the years I have watched as my family line slowly diminish. Whether by old age, unavoidable circumstances, relocation, or by the hands of the supernatural creatures that call Mystic Falls home. The supernatural creatures responsible for claiming the lives of countless Salvatore's range any where from strangers all the way to and including me and my older brother, Damon Salvatore. Who also is a vampire, and together we are known as the infamous Salvatore Brothers.

Now even though I have watched and been responsible for the diminishing of the Salvatore name I still held on to the hope that maybe one day our family would be able to reconcile. Now over the years I've watched as that dream drifted farther and farther away from me, but it wasn't until I watched Damon maliciously destroy all of Zach's hopes and dreams that I realized that there was no hope for uniting the Salvatore Family.

And then she showed up, Samantha Elysia Salvatore. Zach's baby sister and Damon and I's distant niece. When Sam first arrived things were pretty tense mainly because Damon and I didn't know of her existence, and because she came to kill us. Which was completely understandable seeing as Damon killed her brother, but as time went on she finally began warming up to us. Then the next thing I knew we were a family; me, her, and Damon.

But as luck would have it this happiness was not meant to be. Seeing as not to long after we buried the hatchet was our bond tested. And it took everything we had not to fall apart during all the chaos that ensued over Elena being the Petrova doppelganger. Then without me ever noticing it Samantha was suddenly swept up into Klaus's wake. And all my promises of protecting her and helping her to lead a normal life just went out the window.

As it came to light that through her mother, Samantha was a witch and a powerful one at that. Due to this new development Sam wound up being targeted by countless supernatural creatures. So much so that for her own good she was forced into leaving Mystic Falls. In her absence a strong and powerful pack of werewolves have recently began inhabiting Mystic Falls. Now if that wasn't bad enough these particular werewolf wolves are somehow able to call upon their fangs, claws, and a few of their other werewolf attributes without the need for a full moon. So besides having to deal with Klaus and his hybrids, we now have a new and deadly breed of werewolves to worry about. But none of that matters to me because no matter what it takes I'm going to make Mystic Falls safe again. And when I've accomplished this feat SAMANTHA SALVATORE will finally be able to return home.

Let's just cut to the gist shall we, my name is Damon Salvatore. Yes I am a vampire, yes I drink human blood and no I don't twinkle in the sunlight. I live in Mystic Falls alongside a plethora of supernatural creatures including my martyr of a brother Stefan Salvatore. Now over the last three months my brother has been in this obsessive, downward spiral of a funk ever since Sam took the Elijah Mikaelson express out of town. And for the most part I get that Stefan's worried about her I mean she was practically a sister to him. But in the three months she's been gone she's ditched Elijah and haven't called us not once to let us know that she's okay.

So from my stand point Stefan just needs move on. Now I know that makes me sound like the bad guy here but Stefan is in a real bad place, and if he continues like this then it's only going to be a matter of time until he falls off the rails. And I promised him that I'd be there to pull him back if he goes too far. But that doesn't mean that I want to let it get that far, so for now I'm going to do whatever I have to in order to keep my brother from becoming the thing he fears most, THE RIPPER.

Hey folks Samantha Salvatore here, or is it Demeter? Anyways all that matters is that I'm back and stronger than ever, given the last three months have been hell on me. But it was something that I had to go through if I truly wished to come out on the other side. I mean everything that I've learned and found out about myself and my mother's side of the family has helped to shape me in some ways. And though I miss Mystic Falls it's won't be safe for me or for anyone there I showed up back in town with all these people on my tail. Man, I can only imagine how everyone one is doing back in Mystic Falls, it's been like forever since I've seen or talked to them. Oh well what's done is done, and not it's time I put the past behind me and continue on my new path, as a DEMETER.
