Vampire Diaries and Stefan Diaries in order!
Vampire Diaries: The Awakening & The Struggle
1) The Awakening~ The first book introduces the reader to Elena Gilbert, a beautiful and popular high school student in the small town of Fells Church, Virginia and her friends Bonnie McCullough, Meredith Sulez, Matt Honeycutt, and Caroline Forbes. Caroline is Elena's old friend and is now her rival/competition. Elena breaks up with her boyfriend, first love and best friend, Matt, who is a football star and quarterback on the high school football team, when school starts. As their senior year begins, Elena fatefully meets a new foreign student from Italy, Stefan Salvatore, whom she is instantly, indescribably and undeniably drawn to. In the beginning, although Stefan is strongly magnetically drawn to her, Stefan repeatedly rejects Elena's advance because she coincidentally happens to be the uncanny look alike of his first, past love. Elena regularly visits her parent's grave at the cemetery. Stefan's resistance is met with Elena's determination, and she eventually discovers his secret: Stefan is a centuries-old vampire. As Elena and Stefan fall deeply and passionately in love, strange attacks begin to happen in the town of Fells Church while a dark, dangerous and seductive stranger appears to Elena. He is eventually revealed to be Stefan's older malevolent brother, Damon, who had followed Stefan to Fells Church to make Stefan's life miserable. Elena, later, also falls deeply in love with Damon, which starts off the love triangle. In Renaissance Italy, the brothers both fell in love with a young vampire named Katherine von Swartzchild, who later committed suicide after the two brothers turned against each other. They fought for her love and she decided to choose them both as lovers and exchanged blood with them intending to transform both of them into vampires. Fuelled with rage, the brothers both murdered each other using swords, but eventually, rose as vampires. At the prom Elena asks Stefan to dance with him, however devastatingly discovers that Caroline (Elena's rivalry, but was once her best friend) is now Stefan's boyfriend, which explains why Caroline rarely ever came to the canteen at lunchtime. Infuriated, but hurt Elena decides to hang out with Tyler smallwood and his friend- Dick carter- along with Vickie Bennet. They later head to the cemetery where Tyler goes on about the Fells' taking the Smallwoods' finding of Fells Church. Abruptly, Tyler tries to assault Elena, when Vickie and Dick go elsewhere, however Stefan arrives just in time and slams Tyler against Honoria and Thomas's tomb. Stefan cares for Elena and drives her to the Boarding house where he is staying with Mrs. Flowers. That's where she learns of Stefan's sceret. Another event is held at the school and this time it's the Haunted House Fund- raiser, however Tyler is back at school and arrives at the fund- raiser, which only means chaos. Bonnie later finds Mr. Tanner's lifeless and dead body. This gives Tyler the chance to blame the attacks all on Stefan and when Stefan is no where to be found it adds to the suspicions of everyone and a huge mob is created all intent on one thing- to find Stefan. Elena searches for Stefan everywhere, however she cannot find him, but knows that Stefan would never leave her of his own free will. Therefore The Awakening ends with Elena seeking out Damon whom she believes to be the prime suspect for Stefan's disappearance.
2) The Struggle~ Picking up where 'The Awakening' left off, Elena confronts Damon about Stefan's disappearance. When Elena rejects his romantic advances and remains strongly and stoically loyal to Stefan and her love for him, he refuses to help her find Stefan. Bonnie, who is believed to have the psychic powers, uses magic to track down Stefan. The girls and Matt discover Stefan trapped in a well, close to death. After they rescue him, Elena gives him her blood to speed his recovery. Because of the common belief that he has attacked area residents, Stefan still faces hostility in the town. Elena later starts to receive notes stating bits from her diary which was stolen at Bonnie's house. As Founder's Day approaches, Elena learns that Caroline Forbes has robbed her diary and her accomplice is Tyler smallwood. It is vital that Elena gets her diary back as the contents can be read as evidence that Stefan is a violent criminal. On one night Elena has a dream that Stefan finds out about the contents of her diary and he leaves her with a look of disguist, fury and annoyance. This breaks Elena's heart and she makes sure that Stefan doesn't find out. Bonnie, Meredith and Elena break into Caroline's house to search for the diary but fail to find it, as the Forbes' unexpectedly arrive back early from a night out at the restaurant. Elena climbs on to the roof of their house as she is trapped on the balcony of Caroline's parent's bedroom. There she sees Damon, who offers to help Elena's cause- if she gives him her blood and spends at least an hour with him willingly as he tells her he will eventually get that time with her- willingly or not. Damon is invited to Elena's house for Thanks giving by Robert (Aunt Judith's fiance). On that same night he comes back to the house when everyone is asleep except for Elena. Damon tries to get into Elena's bedroom, however the living room and Elena's bedroom were all that was left of the old house. Since Damon wasn't invited into either of the rooms his face changes from confusion to anger to calm consideration. He then heads to Margaret's bedroom (Elena's little sister). Initially she refuses to give into bait but when he threatens to feed off her sister Elena helplessly gives in. Damon and Elena do a blood exchange. Next morning Elena finds herself to be still alive, and from the moments she could recall she remembers Damon taking his shirt off to give her his blood. Soon after, Elena tells Stefan about the missing diary. Stefan tells Elena, that even if Caroline reveals the contents of Elena's diary to the whole town, because of his love for her, he will stay. On Founder's Day, when Caroline prepares to read the diary in public, Elena learns that Damon has switched Elena's diary for Caroline's. Damon accepts Elena's thanks, but his satisfaction turns to anger when he hears about her engagement to Stefan. Aunt Judith and Robert are also incredibly furious and forbid Elena to go ahead with the marriage. Frustrated by their reactions, Elena storms off in Matt's car and soon detects something malevolent about the weather. She tries to cross running water, as she thinks this will keep her safe, since supernatural beings can't cross running water. As Elena is driving, the bridge splits and Elena falls in. She then drowns and later rises as a newly created vampire.
Vampire Diaries: The Fury & The Dark Reunion
3) The Fury ~ The third book deals with Elena's adjustment to having become a vampire, as well as her confusion at loving both brothers. Stefan finds Elena dead at Wickery Bridge, and believes that the force that was chasing Elena was Damon. This theory causes Stefan to start off a fight with his brother and in the middle of it, Elena awakens as a newly turned vampire. She impulsively, uncontrollably attacks Stefan, as Damon had given Elena more of his blood in the exchange and therefore viewed Stefan as a threat to her creator. Stefan surrenders to Elena and tells her to finish him off, however Damon stops her just in time. Stefan is extremely crushed, devastated and broken-hearted, presuming that her attack on him meant she loved Damon more and hated him. Damon's love for Elena is stronger than ever and he tries to clear everything up, being very nice and rationale to her. He could have used this moment to take her away and have her, however he doesn't take advantage of her and cares for her. Still in love and deeply concerned for Elena, whether she loved him or not, Stefan persuaded his best friend Matt to feed Elena his blood to help her control her blood lust, leaving Matt in complete shock because of what she had become, as well as discovering Stefan had almost killed Tyler Smallwood and his friends, leaving Caroline unharmed. Damon leaves Elena in the attic of Robert E Lee high school's new history teacher (Alaric Saltzman) for her safety. After sleeping for 4 days she stumbles across her own funeral reception. When she reads her diary, Elena's memories return clearly and she is extremely happy, overjoyed and relieved when Stefan forgives her. But the Other Power was taking control of the animals in Fell's Church, driving many to dispose of their pets. Elena believes that Damon wasn't the Other Power that drove her to her death and created all those attacks, however Stefan disagrees and is disgusted. Elena persuades the brothers to work together to stop this powerful force. Alaric Saltzman finds Elena in his attic along with the rest of them, as they discover he is a vampire hunter and decides to help them all. Stefan, Damon, Elena and her friends search for the source of the dark presence that has overtaken the town, which they also suspect to be behind Elena's death. Bonnie has another one of her psychic visions, which lead them find the answer in Honoria Fell's tomb, and it turns out to be Katherine, who in fact did not die centuries before as the brothers had thought. Instead, she had faked her death, having her maid bring ashes from burning an animal, lay them out on her dress, and put her lapis lazuli ring on top, while she had another forged, making it looked as if she had killed herself. Since then, Stefan has lived with the guilt of her death, while Katherine has spent that time seething with anger. She decides to take revenge, and is envious of Elena for robbing both brothers' love. Katherine reveals that she is the one who attacked Vicki and ran Elena off the bridge. They are all tortured brutally, and Elena ends this by ripping the lapis lazuli necklace from Katherine and knocks her into the light of the tomb. She is unsuccessful at getting herself out of the sun light fast enough and dies, saying that she wants both brothers' word that they would take care of one another because Damon is often misunderstood, and she wants the fraternal rivalry to end, also telling Stefan that she loved him, and that she did not want any of this to happen.
4) Dark Reunion ~Now that Elena is gone everyone is still hurt and is grieving, although it has been six months, however, as a psychic, Bonnie has dreams of Elena in the Other world. Even though Meredith's birthday has passed, Caroline (after becoming friends with all of them again) wants to prepare a surprise party for her at her house. Bonnie reluctantly goes ahead with it knowing that Meredith will kill her afterwards. Caroline decides to invite Sue Carson and Vickie Bennet. At her house all is well when Sue suggests Bonnie contacts Elena, since she is psychic. They use an Ouija board and as they ask questions, it mysteriously moves to one letter to another forming words then sentences. All of a sudden the lights go off. Quickly, they scramble their way trying to get to the front door. However, an invisible hand grasps fragile Bonnie. They all run upstairs at the sound of screaming and frantic cries. There they find a hysterical Vickie and Sue Carson over the balcony dead on the floor. Later they learn that a source of power has infiltrated Fell's Church, putting its inhabitants in danger. Meredith, Matt, and Bonnie use a summoning spell to call for Stefan and Damon. Bonnie takes the leading role as she writes in her diary, since Elena's has gone along with her. She also finds a possible romance with Matt Honeycutt. After performing research, Stefan realizes Tyler Smallwood is a werewolf. Meredith lures Tyler into the graveyard, and after Stefan threatens to take away the werewolf part of Tyler, he reveals startling information. They find out that Klaus, the vampire who turned Katherine, is the killer. Some way they had to find out how to injure or even kill Klaus, therefore they needed one of his descendants or even one of his victims who miraculously are still alive. After Stefan checked the whole of Europe they remembered Meredith's mentally ill grandfather and from him discover that the only thing that can weaken Klaus is White Ash wood. At the Boarding house Klaus leaves an envelope for Stefan stating that he has held Caroline hostage and wants him to come the Old Francher place with no-one. Although Stefan warns Bonnie, Meredith, and Matt not to follow him, they do. As Stefan is standing below Klaus, who is on top of the roof, in front of Caroline, Meredith sneaks from behind and tries to untie Caroline. Caroline is looking franticly up into the moon and Meredith soon realizes why. Tyler! It was a trap! As Meredith screamed it out Klaus attacked Stefan and they began to fight. They are losing the fight, and Stefan is on the brink of death. Damon appears and stakes Klaus with the White Ash wood. However, Klaus is not hurt badly, and he attacks Damon. Bonnie screams for Elena, who appears as a glowing mist along with the spirits of Civil War soldiers that had fought and died in Fell's Church. They charge Klaus and carry him away. Elena almost leaves forever when all of a sudden another lightening bolt strikes and this time it's gold and at the centre of it is a naked creamy white slender figure, with silky golden hair. Elena!

Vampire Diaries: The Return: Nightfall
5) The Return: Nightfall ~It has been one week after Elena was brought back to life, however she is in a child-like state and cannot read, write or speak, except with mental pictures given only to Stefan, when they exchange blood, and Bonnie as she is psychic. Caroline awakes early every morning to talk with a reflection of herself in the mirror, which Damon observes. He feels a sting at his neck, but asks Caroline to invite him in. He is about to drain her of blood but realizes something is influencing him to think otherwise. Stefan allows Bonnie, Meredith, and Caroline to visit Elena. Elena doesn't recognise anyone and therefore kisses Caroline on the lips to identify her. This infuriates Caroline, who is ordered to leave after she insults Elena, terribly. It is revealed that Mrs. Flowers is a witch and her mother died at the turn of the twentieth century. Meredith, Bonnie, and Matt crash into a tree, which grows larger and larger, trapping them inside the car.

Stefan saves Matt and Meredith, while Damon heals an unconscious Bonnie, at the Boarding house. When Bonnie wakes up- naked with her underwear on and a towel draped over her she screams and tells them all about how Damon just stood there and didn't help her immediately. He is then banished from the Boarding house by Stefan and stumbles onto Elena as she telepathicly tells Damon that she believes he is possessed, however he leaves before listening to her. That night Stefan and Elena are out in the woods, where Damon is sitting high up on a tree branch. However, neither of them notice, as they begin to exchange blood. This increases Damon's temper as he witnesses this. He is faced by Shinishi and Damon makes a deal with Shinichi to let him destroy the town, but let him and "his girls" (Elena and Bonnie) get out safely. Shinichi makes the malach inside Damon (that entered him though the sting he felt earlier) grow. Elena wakes up one morning and is back to normal. She and Stefan invite everyone for a picnic, where they agree that the malach, evil parasitic creatures, have infested the Old Wood and are under someone's control.

Stefan leaves Elena asleep and creeps into the wood, however he disappears. Next morning Elena is frantically searching for Stefan as she believes that he would never leave her of his own free will and that he has been kidnapped. This theory is proven when Mrs. Flowers finds Stefan's clothes tossed in the corner of the garden. Elena immediately suspects that Damon is behind this and she and Matt go the woods. Damon is more possessed than ever and tortures Matt and Elena and feeds on them. Elena insists that she is to be taken somewhere special for him to feed on her and to leave Matt in Elena's Jaguar. He agrees and they go into his Farrari.

Damon tells Elena that they are in one of Shinishi's crystal balls and that the only real things are him and Elena. He also tells her of his deal with Shinishi and that Stefan is still alive. When fully healed, Elena uses "Wings of Purification" to relieve Damon from the malach.

The Three Guardians of the Celestial Courts decide that Elena is unfit to wield the wings, so they clip them. Elena's wings and telepathy are lost, and she is practically fully human again. They also want to purify her blood, however Sage and Stefan threaten to kill them all, as purifying Elena's blood will kill her. The book ends on the Nether World's smallest moon.

Vampire Diaries: The Hunters: Phantom
8) The Hunters: Phantom~ The group explores the restored Fell's Church, but they are still sad (particularly Stefan and Elena, who are devastated) that Damon has died. Elena is reunited with her family, who has hired Caleb Smallwood to work on their yard. He says that he is Tyler's cousin and that he has been staying with Tyler's parents since Tyler "ran away." As the friends leave to pick up Alaric and his friend, Dr. Celia Connor, at the train station, a rose that had appeared at Elena's doorstep cuts Bonnie. The blood pouring out of it spells "Celia" on her arm. At the train station, Celia is almost killed when her scarf gets caught in the train door, but Stefan saves her by ripping the scarf. The shreds, on the floor, spell "Meredith." Meanwhile, on the Dark Moon, Damon crawls out of the mountains of liquified ash. Sage finds him, helps Damon remember who he is, and lets him use the Mystical Elevator to return to Fell's Church. Up to this point, Damon has appeared to Elena in dreams. Elena sees him in her room one night, and he tells her that the energy from Inari's Star Ball gave him life. Elena goes to the cemetery to visit her parents and sees Caleb, who has also lost his parents. Stefan shows up and throws Caleb against a tombstone out of envy that he might like Elena. He says that he discovered evidence that Caleb is evil. Later, Celia decides to leave Fells Church and go back to the University, however when she knocks down Mrs. Flowers' knitting, it spells "Bonnie" on the ground. In the night Bonnie tries to do a spell to contact Damon, but ends up in a coma after being overcome by darkness. Now Elena knows that Damon is alive. When Elena tells Damon, he investigates by letting the darkness take him. His consciousness ends on the Dark Moon. Stefan takes Elena to the Smallwoods' shed, and they see that Caleb had collected many photos and newspapers about them. They detail both realities - of the events that actually happened and everyone's fabricated memories. Stefan and Elena conclude that the Guardians just changed these, but Caleb can see some of them for what they really are because he is supernatural. He is descended from werewolves and possesses some witchcraft abilities. Stefan and Elena have to get ingredients for Mrs. Flowers, but Elena sees people from high school and becomes envious that they have normal lives. Darkness overtakes her, and she passes out after Stefan notices a shopkeeper's hair flowing in the shape of the name "Matt." Stefan takes Meredith and Matt to the Smallwoods' house to confront Caleb. Matt passes out after he thinks about how Stefan stole Elena from him. Caleb says that he deduced that the group of friends was behind his contradicting memories and gave Elena the rose, hoping to get closer to her so that he could find out where Tyler went. At the boarding house, Mrs. Flowers says she believes that a phantom that is feeding off jealousy may be the culprit. They perform a spell to summon the phantom. Meanwhile, Elena meets Bonnie in the land of the flowers that can hold special spells. Matt also arrives, and Elena tells them to look for the way out, which they find. She also tells them about Damon being alive. They see Sage in the nexus room and run to the Dark Moon, where Damon is battling a misty blue figure. They all start fighting it, and suddenly they end up in the garage of the boarding house. Damon says that the creature is the original phantom, which is much more powerful than an ordinary phantom. The original phantoms were trapped on the Dark Moon by the guardians, but Elena destroyed their prison, and the phantom of jeolousy followed them to Fell's Church. The phantom tells everyone why they should be jeolous of others, putting Stefan and Damon against one another in a brutal fight. As the rest of the group admits their jealousies and casts them away, weakening the phantom, Elena makes the brothers reconcile. Damon throws a candle at the phantom, setting it on fire, and Elena reaches into the creature's core and pulls out the rose inside, destroying the phantom. Damon gives Elena his blood to heal her burns as the fire department arrives to put out the fire. Everyone then looks forward to the future.
Vampire Diaries: The Hunters: Moonsong
9) The Hunters: Moonsong~ A whole new chapter of Elena's life has begun, starting with college. She says goodbye to her family and leaves with Stefan and Damon. She remembers about how Stefan compelled the admissions office into giving her, Bonnie and Meredith the best dorm as well as a separate dorm room for himself. He also compels them into allowing Meredith and Matt into the school; the latter on a football scholarship. Meredith had originally been agreed to Harvard and Matt agreed to a top football school but both had decided to go to Dalcrest College alongside Elena, Bonnie and Stefan to protect Fell's Church, should any danger arise. Matt however, felt too guilty to accept a luxurious dorms like the girls, as he had already taken a scholarship meant for somebody else. Damon rents an apartment in the city preferring not to go back to college. As the school year begins, Elena worries about destroying the brothers new found friendship and brotherhood and becoming like Katherine. However, eventually she decides to take a break from both of them so she can sort out her feelings.

She immediately falls for him and later that week, arranges a date with him. She gets really close to him and his boisterous friends. Meredith begins training with a fellow student named Samantha, who also comes from a family of vampire hunters, much to Meredith's delight. Matt is invited to join a special fraternity called the Vitale Society. While all this occurs, murders and disappearances within the school begin. The gang fear it may be supernaturally related and so they all investigate. Meredith ans Samantha begin to patrol together and help each other to develop their skills, although Meredith shows time and time again, that she is much more skilled then Samantha. Matt's room mate (Christopher) eventually becomes a victim and Meredith thinks she sees Bonnie's new boyfriend Zander running away when she chases the murderer of another student. Meredith and Elena voice there deep concerns about Zander causing Bonnie too furiously leave them but not before accusing them of envy over her new romance whilst Alaric is back at Fell's Church and Elena is separated from both her boyfriends. She leaves to live with Zander. At the same time, Damon continues to pursue Elena despite her asking for space and they are caught kissing by Stefan after Damon saves Elena's life from a speeding car. Furious, Stefan tells Elena that he doesn't want to be with her anymore and then leaves devastated, but not before cutting ties with Damon again. Due to this, Elena decides to start something with Damon. Matt continues in his strive to be a Vitale pledge. As he goes on, he falls for a fellow pledge, Chloe. However, once he gains the courage to ask her out, he finds out that she is the girlfriend of the leader of the Vitale Society Ethan. Matt is disappointed but continues being great friends with her. He feels as though he can finally move on from Elena and even thinks some negative thoughts about her. When his room mate dies, he begins to spend less time with the group. He completes all the necessary tasks until the night finally arrives. Before that however, Meredith's friend Samantha is found murdered in her room viciously. Meredith takes it hard and although Bonnie, Matt and Stefan are less involved in the group, she, Elena and Damon continue to investigate more thoroughly. Elena meantime, meets a new professor who reveals he was a friend of her parents who had actually met at Dalcrest College. At first the professor- James- is holding back something from her and after constant insistent he reeveals information about the Vitale Society, which Elena's parents were involved in. He explains how one day a Guardian came to them in the form of a peaceful angel and announced that he wanted to create a Guardian and that at the age of 12 he would take her away to become a full Guardian. Then they picked Elena's parents. Elena's parents were thrilled and flattered and therefore agreed. That was when the friendship with James and Elena's parents ended. Elena also reveals that she had powers but that the Guardians stripped them from her. She ponders over getting her powers back and that she did not know that Guardians could be male but cannot help feeling upset that her parents raised her only to be taken. The professor reveals however that when the time came, they could not do it and called him as he had some skill in sorcery. However, they died a few days later and Elena was kept safe so he never could do anything. Elena wonders what is going on but leaves and keeps it from Damon. Bonnie is told by Zander that he is a werewolf and knowing that to become a werewolf, you must kill somebody, she flees. Stefan figures out that Matt's new group is evil and has very bad intentions after talking to both Damon and Elena about their recent discoveries but can only manage to save Matt from the revealed vampire group. He warns the rest of the gang who come together to help. The leader of the group "Ethan" reveals to Stefan that one of Klaus' descendants turned him and that he plans to resurrect him at the equinox. He needs the blood of his descendants which is where Stefan and Damon come in. As the gang arrive, Damon permits only Meredith and a stubborn Elena to help in the fight. Things go well until Meredith is caught off guard and Damon is outnumbered. However, they manage to win the fight but not before Ethan gets a vial of Stefan's blood. However, Meredith kills him before he can do anything. Also, everyone in the gang feels like best friends again and everyone once again feels at home with one another. As the gang leave and prepare to hunt and kill the newly turned pledges and their minders, Bonnie returns to Zander now knowing he was not the campus killer. Zander reveals himself as an original werewolf. At first, Bonnie believes this to mean he is really old. However, Zander reveals this just means that he is directly descended from the cavemen who naturally possessed the werewolf gene and did not inherit it from a bite or from being passed down from a family member who had been bitten. He also says that this gives him the power to stop turning on full moons and if he is skilled enough to turn when not on a full moon. He also says that the High Wolf Council sent him to college to investigate as the college was on ley lines making it a supernatural hotspot and that he and his friends have been trying to stop the Vitale society. Bonnie reveals she knows it's on ley lines and that he need not worry as they had taken down most of the members and her friends were on their way to finish the rest off. Zander is very surprised and asks for an explanation off Bonnie. She reveals mostly everything but leaves out about the Guardians and Dark Dimension so as not to confuse him. In the epilogue, it is revealed that Meredith missed Ethan's heart and he is still alive with both of the Salvatore's blood and can complete the ritual as expected the equinox unknown to Elena and her friends.
