Life sucks and then you die. However true that may be, there's a large part of the coined term missing: everything in between. For 100 exiled teenagers sent to Earth to save mankind, life's an emotional rollercoaster full of passion, adventure, devastation, war, and bloodshed. For the daughter of the infamous Marcus Kane, the drop ship landing is just the beginning. Bellamy/OC.

In 1858, Damon Salvatore and Clarissa King had a falling out that ended their friendship and resulted in unadulterated spite for each other. As vampires, the two somehow found themselves in the midst of an unorthodox secret arrangement that was mutually beneficial. Now, as Mystic Falls suffers from continuous doom, Damon and Claire must choose a side: to love or to hate?

We all know Madeline's story from her memory-wiped perspective in Shiver, but what was it like before then? A ridiculously innocent inactive Pure Blood and the naughty Damon Salvatore definitely don't mix, but they certainly have a way of making things interesting. Read the first 6 episodes of Season 1, leading up to the moment where everything changed. COMPLETE.
