After spending the summer with my father in Washington it was time to go back to my grandmother who had raised me since I was a little girl. Most of the time when people find out I lived with my grandmother, they assume that my parents are dead but both of them are very much alive. While my father was serving this country, my mother ran off with a man ten years her junior leaving me with his mother. I'd lived with her ever since and it was probably for the better, all of the women in our family were witches. I came into my powers early. No one had ever gained any of the abilities I did so prematurely except for the first Swan witch, Belanda. I could influence the elements and obtain visions of the future. By the time I was 14 I had full control of my powers and could cast the kind of spells that took my grandmother almost 15 years to master. Without my powers I never would have met my best friends, Stefan and Damon Salvatore. When I was 11 I was in the woods near Fell's Church a vampire, which I later found out was Stefan, came across me while they were hunting. He nearly attacked me, and would have succeeded if it were not for my telekinesis After that the two of us were thick as thieves and 3 years later when his brother came to visit they mended their relationship thanks to my helpful hand and became closer than ever.
As I boarded my plane I thought about this upcoming school year. Stefan was going to join me for my junior year and Damon was staying in town as his guardian I missed our time together while I was away this summer, but hopefully the time apart gave them time to think about the argument we had before I left. Both of them encountered Elena Gilbert, who was a girl my age that lived in town. I watched them become obsessive and go head to head with each other like they did when I first met them, all because this girl looked like their lost love Katherine. I couldn't stand the men who were practically my brothers acting like this over a girl and left without telling them goodbye. All summer long they had tried contacting me but I refused to respond. It wasn't until both of the came to Forks with their tails between their legs apologizing and promising never to let a girl com between them again that I forgave them. We talked over the next couple of days while Charlie was on a fishing trip and we decided that we would look into this girl being Katherine's double. It wasn't exactly normal that there was a carbon copy of someone who treated my friends horribly running around. I just hoped that Stefan coming to school with me didn't cause any problems with Elena. I didn't need her ruining all of the progress that I had made with Stefan and Damon.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by a vision, the same one I had been having the past 2 years. Ever couple of months a little more would be shown to me of what was to come. It was a man coming out of a coffin, so I assumed he was a vampire, he was wearing clothes from a different time period but I knew somehow that this wasn't from the past. I learned over the years that he had been trapped and when he awoke with 2 others he would look for revenge. Who wouldn't though? Our first meeting was short and I knew that he would test my patience, but I was ready for him. I would make an impact, we would fall in love. He was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. His dark hair and dark eyes made him look alluring and mysterious at the same time, but I knew all of his secrets and in time he would know all of mine. There was no other man for me. I knew this year would be hard. A lot of grief and a lot of fighting but at the end I would have my family. Stefan and Damon would find love after it was over, all they had to do was fight for it. They knew I would never lead them wrong, I had always planned everything with their best interests in mind.

Waiting at the airport with Damon was exhausting. Even though in the last 3 years my brother and I had mended our relationship I still couldn't stand the way he was constantly on the prowl for a new one night stand. He could find women in the most inconvenient places, like an airport. He had disappeared almost 25 minutes ago with a busty red head that wouldn't take no for an answer, not that telling her no over 10 times wasn't apart of his plan all alone. I found it funny that his prey had not changed over the years, all confident women. Mine certainly had. After spending years trying to adjust to the animal diet it took a 12 year old who also couldn't take no for an answer to get me on human blood without turning into a monster. When asking her why it was so important she simply shrugged her shoulders and told me she knew best. Isabella always did though, that's why she was my best friend. She knew one day down the road I would need to be on human blood to get to where I needed to be. I always listened to her advice, at least when she gave no explanations. She would never reveal too much about the future, she wanted everyone to have a fair chance at the wonderful things to come. Isabella was always reminding Damon and I how happy we would be in the years to come, I was looking forward to it.
Finally I spotted our girl in the crowd!
"Isabella! Isabella!" I shouted.
"Stefan!" she shouted, running into my arms. "I've missed you so much!"
"Look who it is. It looks like my best friend, smells like my best friend, but this girl looks different." said Damon, coming up behind us.
"Damon!" jumping into his arms too. "I haven't changed that much, you just saw me!"
"I know, little Isa. I'm just pulling your leg. Al though you do look more pale than you did the last time I saw you." Damon said.
Now that he pointed it out she did look pale. Her skin always had this alive, unreal glow to it. The only time she got pale like this was when she used too much magic.
"What happened?" I asked her.
"It was nothing to be concerned about, just a vision that look a little more out of me than usual. We have a lot to expect this year boys." she replied.
"I don't understand Isa. You had a vision of the whole year? That's never happened before, has it?" Damon asked.
"No, it hasn't. All I've ever been graced with was flashes, maybe longer. I got information with them but it's only been when it's going to happen and stuff. Nothing like this. I'll need to look at my grimoire when I get home." she said with a grimace.
I noticed she was swaying on her feet a little, this must have taken a lot out of her.
"Let's get you back to the house, we can talk about everything then. And we can update you on everything that's been going on in town." Damon said.
We walked to the car that Damon had compelled someone to guard, so it wouldn't be towed and made our way back to Mystic Falls. A comfortable conversation was held on the drive about her time with her father and his friends. I noticed that when she talked about them she deliberately left things out, but I knew that if she wasn't telling us something it was for our good and she'd spill the beans eventually. She never could keep a secret from either of us for too long.
Pulling up to the house felt good. Damon and I missed her presence more then either of us cared to admit. I knew that as soon as we went inside that she would be leaving again soon, once we told her what we had been up to all summer.
After telling us specifically to stay away from the girl Elena who shared Katherine's face, Damon had gone against what she told him after promising he would keep a distance from her. He had never really gotten over Katherine, since she never compelled him like she had me he never really saw anything wrong with the way she treated him other than being with both of us. We had fought for years over who was right and who was wrong in the Katherine debacle and Damon hadn't forgave me for letting him live without Katherine. But over the years he accepted his existence and with Isabella's help hundreds of years later we were able to put all of our differences aside and really be brothers again.
"So gentleman, what have we been up to this summer? Other than the regular murder and mayhem that is." Isabella asked. She sat in her usual spot and propped her feet up on the table, taking a glass of Damon's bourbon.
"Hey! That's mine. Since when did you start drinking anyway?" asked Damon.
"Well since I am probably going to have to tell you about the vision I had, I'm going to need a drink. And don't start with me Damon. I may have missed you but don't think I don't know what you were up to this summer." replied Isabella.
I looked at her in shock. I had no idea that she had been having that many visions. Usually she got one a month and it was mostly of her own future, with the man she hadn't named yet or one of us. Never things happening in this time frame, unless there was some kind of danger.
"Yes Stefan, I know. But a lot is going to be happening the next couple of months and we need to prepare. I've been getting stronger and because of that my visions have been too. Damon I can't say that I'm happy that you've been spending time with Elena, since I told you to stay away from her. What's going to happen in the next year is only going to be harder if you get too close to her. I'm only trying to do what's best for you but if you have feelings for her I won't stand in your way." Isabella said. "First of all you need to be prepared for another witch in town. Bonnie Bennett is going to come into her powers this year and she's going to cause a lot of problems. Her prejudice towards vampires is going to set off a lot of events that don't need to happen, and I guess that's why I've been sent the visions I have. Second, Caroline Forbes needs to become a vampire. No matter what I see happening, her being a vampire is helpful towards our end game. And third, we need to track down Katherine. I'm sorry Stefan, Damon. I know that this will bring up bad memories but we need her help, the only kind of help that she can offer. I've tried looking at it from other ways but we're going to need her to make it out alive."
"So let me get this straight. Not only do you want me to stay away from the girl I may possibly be in love with but you want me to help you find the women who ruined my life? And then turn a council members daughter into a vampire?" Damon asked.
"I know it sounds crazy Damon, but haven't you always trusted me? Haven't I always been right? You need to listen to me. If you don't I can't guarantee your safety." she replied.
"Is that a threat Isabella?" said Damon with a smirk.
"Really Damon? This is how you're going to treat me? Fine. I'm going back to my Nana's house. When you pull your head out of your ass you know where to find me. If not, then nice knowing you." she said and with that stormed out of the house without a second look at either of us.
"Come on Damon. Do you really think that Isabella is just going to make us bring Katherine back into our lives without any cause? She would never do that to us. She loves us. She's done a lot for us, we wouldn't even be having a civil conversation right now if it weren't for her. I don't know about you but I trust her with my life. It's Bells we're talking about." I said.
I decided that I needed to leave my brother on his own with this. I trusted Bella, we had been friends longer than I had been friends with anyone. I knew that she wouldn't do anything to endanger me and that she would put her own life at risk before doing anything to cause me harm.
"I'm going to go follow her and make sure she's okay. This has obviously taken a lot out of her. If you decide to trust our best friend, you can come but don't you dare come and hurt her more than you already have Damon." I told him.
I grabbed my jacket and was prepared to follow Isabella to her Nana's house, but when I opened the door I was shocked to see Elena.
"Elena? What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Elena? Oh Stefan, has it really been that long?" she replied.
"Katherine?"
