A choice is coming. A choice that will change everything.

The third season of The Vampire Diaries has been building towards Elena's (Nina Dobrev) decision between Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and fans will see their heroine finally make that choice in just a few weeks. Gotta love finale season!

We've got your exclusive first look at the hot new poster the CW has released promoting TVD's May finale. So what did we take away from the artwork? Let's take a look...

"A future blooms." But with whom?!

While we're not entirely sure what exactly "a future blooms" means for Elena, we do have two theories:

1. Elena will make her decision between the brothers, so a new relationship will finally blossom. However, that new beginning will also come with an ending (tear!), which could be why she's crying in the picture.

2. Could the future blooming be Elena's "new" future as a vampire?! Highly unlikely, but we never rule anything out on a show like The Vampire Diaries.

Our third theory? Not to overanalyze one measly sentence when Dobrev looks as stunning as she does in this poster!

The Vampire Diaries airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on the CW.

What do you think this new promo poster means, TVD fans? Which brother do you think Elena will choose by season's end? Sound off in the comments!
