Prologue

Braelyn Benjamin glanced at her sleeping roommate before turning off the television, a small frown on her face. She had repeatedly told Aylin to stop having movie marathons during the week, as she needed to study for the midterms. Her roommate, a music major, however, ignored her and continued. 

Braelyn sighed and took the chance to read something other than her notes and textbooks. Recently, instead of watching the shows, she had taken to reading the entire manuscript for her favourite series. She had finally finished Legacies, and honestly, she was very confused. Looking over at The Vampire Diaries' manuscript, she grabbed it and started reading while writing down her own personal notes.

It took four hours, but she was finally done. Sitting up in her chair, she compared her notes to those for The Originals and Legacies and then frowned.

"This makes absolutely no sense. I get that Elena is valuable, but the Salvatore brothers somehow have every advantage over the Originals?" The girl frowned before moving on to her next point. "And what is it with the Hollow? They didn't need to do all that—what was the point of them even dying?"

 She hated plot holes and random facts. As she surveyed the information, she frowned again. "First of all, if being a Bennett witch is so important, wouldn't Abby have tried to have more kids? Why are the Originals allowing people to walk all over them, and if they are supposed to be the so-called myths of the supernatural world, why are they so open about their power?"

The girl grabbed her notes and hugged them tightly to her chest. "If I were a Bennett witch, I bet I could do so much. Hell, I wish I were a Bennett witch. Maybe then I could fix this nonsense." If only Braelyn knew her words would have such an impact; she probably wouldn't have continued to speak. "I wish to have that epic, passionate love, to be someone's Queen."

On 11th November 2023, twenty-year-old Braelyn made a wish at 11:11 p.m., not knowing what it would bring when she woke up.
