Tatia's P.O.V.

I took a random stick on the ground and drew a mark on the wall... Today's the last day of my punishment! I've been locked up in this cave by the dead witches for a thousand years and I didn't even have a drop of water nor food... But I wouln't die of dehydration or starvation... because I was the Original Petrova, I wouldn't die that easily...

I used all my strength to slowly stand up and walked over to the door of the cave... The seal had finally broken and I tried to walk out of the cave step by step as I was too weak... The sun was burning my eyes as I hadn't seen daylight since a thousand years ago... I slowly got used to the brightness and tried to find myself some things to eat or drink to regain my strength...

I found myself in the cemetery and there's a young man wearing strange clothes was putting flowers on the grave of someone... He then turned and looked at me surprisingly.. He then began to walked towards me...

"Um... Elena? Why are you here? I thought you said you're not going to visit mum and dad today? And what's with your clothes? You looked like an ancient woman..." He asked curiously with a little laughter.  I looked at myself quickly and I was wearing a white stola covered with dirt as I've been in a cave for a loooong time and I was also wearing a pair of sandals... I frowned as I didn't think I look weird but instead he looked weird to me. Well, I couldn't be rude so I wouldn't tell him that he looked weird... "Um... Pardon me? Who's Elena?" I asked. His eyes then became wide opened and he looked shocked. "You're not Elena? Then... Are you Katherine?" He asked with fear. I shooked my head and said, "I'm not Katherine either. Let me introduce myself... I am Tatia Petrova, it's nice to meet you." I did a little curtsey to be polite. He then laughed ridiculously and said, "I'm Jeremy Gilbert. Why are you curtseying? Oh my, you really are an ancient woman." 

"So, Jeremy, can I have something to eat or drink as I've been starving for a long time..." I asked Jeremy. He then handed me a bottle of water from his backpack and I quickly drank it all up. He looked and me with his mouth wide opened. "Are you that thirsty? How long haven't you been drinking water?" He asked. "A thousand years... I haven't been eating nor drinking for a thousand years." I replied. His eyes then looked like they're almost popped out and he said, "Wow! What are you? You are scaring me right now... Am I safe with you? Are you... a vampire?" 

Wait... he knew about vampires? But he's just a human... But then I just replied him, "No... don't worry, I'm not a vampire... I'm the Original Petrova." He frowned at me and asked again, "You're a Petrova? Oh! That's why you looked like my sister! But how did you survive for that long?" "I'm the Orignal Petrova ... Every orignal of any creatures get to be immortal... doppelgangers, vampires, werewolves and witches... So I get to live forever but in a human state..."I said. He nodded but I felt that he's still digesting what I've just said. 

"So..if you're an Original , that makes you the ancestor of my sister! OMG! Do you want to meet your descendant? She looks exactly like you!" He offered. "Well, that would be interesting... But can I have more food or drinks there? I am really weak right now..." I asked. "Sure you can." He smiled. "And one last request... what year, month and day is today?" I asked. He answered, "12th May, 2013." He then showed me to his wheeled machine that he called a car so that we could go to his house. 

"This invention is amazing! You don't have to walk and you can move to another places!" I shouted as I've never seen this thing before. "well, this is not the most amazing thing of all, this is called a phone. You can call people whenever you want and when you don't feel like speaking, you can text them!" He said and handed me a small rectangle box. Wow.. many things had changed when I was still in the cave. "Hey... and do you mind to change your clothes a little bit so you won't creep people out by wearing your ancient clothes? I'll borrow my sister's clothes to you." He said. I nodded.

We arrived at his house and he opened the door. "You can come in." He said. "I am not a vampire, I can come in without you inviting me." I said. "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about that." He smiled and he showed me around his house. There's no one home yet and Jeremy decided to let me took a shower and got dressed up before his aunt Jenna and my dear descendant came home. 

After I took a shower, I put on some modern clothes which they called tank top, denim shorts and converse. So, I was wearing a black tank top, a pair of denim shorts and a pair of black converse. To finished up the look, I curled my hair and put on a little makeup. I then stepped out of the room and went downstairs to meet Jeremy.

"Wow, you look way much better now!" He said and I giggled a little bit. He then pushed a button on a remote and some noisy sound came out form a square machine. "What is this? It sounds like war!" I shouted. "It's rock music! You should get used to it as everyone's listening to this nowadays..." He replied. What? How can people love the sound of war? 

Jeremy then taught me everything he knew and introduced me to some new inventions and I was greatful for this. And suddenly, someone opened the front door and walked towards us... She looked scared and yelled, "Jeremy, she's not me! She's Katherine, stay away from this dangereous vampire!" Jeremy and I both laughed. And then I walked towards her a little bit and I started to say,

"Hello my lovely descendant. I am not a vampire but I'm the Originator of the Petrova bloodline. My name is Tatia Petrova. Nice to finally meet you Elena."
