It's been a week since the encounter with Damon in my room and honestly, I'm doing okay. Smiling a bit, I look in the mirror to check if I like my outfit. I'm wearing a black tank top and grey skinny jeans along with black Converse shoes. I brush out my straightened hair and add a little touch of makeup. Also known as shiny lip gloss and a tiny bit of mascara. Deciding I look decent, I walk out of my room. "Jer?" I call, knocking on his door. No answer comes so I figure he's not home. I walk downstairs, the house eerily quiet. "Hello?" I call out. No answer is returned and I start to get worried. Aunt Jenna is always home in the morning/afternoon unless it's something important. Curious, I grab my phone off the kitchen counter and walk outside. Looking around, I walk down the street and go to the Grill. It's empty except for Matt on his phone behind the bar. "Where is everyone?" I call out, making him look up. "I thought you were with them?" he questions. "With who? What's going on?" I ask, confused and frantic. He sighs and tells me where to go and I thank him before running off.

Finally I see them but I slow down and stop behind a big tree. I catch my breath and peek out wondering what on earth is happening. There's Elena and Damon talking  in one part of the area. Stefan is off to the side seeming lost in thought. I also see Aunt Jenna here and some guy I don't know along with a few others I'm not sure of. "It's time." The guy standing by Aunt Jenna calls and I detect a British accent. "You don't have to do this." I hear Elena plead. "Of course I do love, now stop stalling." So he's definitely British. I hear chanting and there's a girl with her eyes closed chanting words I can't understand. Rings of fire go around Aunt Jenna, Elena, and some girl. She must be a witch or something, I decide. The rings die down enough for the British guy to reach Aunt Jenna. "The heart of a vampire!" He calls and in the next instant Aunt Jenna is on the ground with her heart in the guy's hand. I cover my mouth, choking back a scream but thankfully the guy, who I'm assuming is a vampire, doesn't notice. He goes over to the pot in front of where the witch is and drops it in. "The heart of a werewolf!" He calls again and this time the girl I don't know falls over, dead. I kinda feel bad for her, she probably had to be dragged into this. He repeats the same actions and turns to Elena. "And finally, the blood of a doppelgänger." He smirks and starts walking toward Elena. Since I happen to know what doppelgänger means, I make a quick decision. "Which one?" I call out, walking out from my spot. His head snaps toward me and confusion is written all over his face. Then he laughs at me. "Katerina I did not expect you to be so naïve." I raise an eyebrow "I'm not sure who Katerina is but I will repeat my question. Which doppelgänger?" Klaus looks at Elena and growls at her "is this some sort of joke to you?" I clear my throat "if you need the blood I'm right here. Take as much as you need, no one will miss me." I say, glaring at Elena as I speak. She seems shocked but I know it's just an act. "Alright then love." British guy says and bites my wrist but it doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would. He leads me over and squeezes the blood into the pot thing. The witch is still chanting and all of a sudden my world goes black.

Suddenly, I'm in a room that has a weird glow. Wait a minute, this is my room, except it's all light and glowing. "Where am I?" I wonder aloud. "You're on the other side, sweetie." A voice says from next to me. I look over and see a woman I've never seen before smiling kindly at me. "What's that?" I ask, confused. She explains "it's where all the supernatural beings go when they die." I try to comprehend this. "Wait, I'm supernatural?" I ask, confused. She nods, "yes, to make a long story short you are a witch who hasn't activated her powers yet." I sigh "how do I activate them?" The woman smiles softly. "Not now. First I must tell you some important information." I sit up on the bed and listen intently as she explains everything. First her name: Esther Mikaelson. Then about the Original Family. How British Guy, who is apparently named Niklaus (or famously known as Klaus), was doing the whole ritual thing to activate his werewolf side. How I'm actually a descendant of the Originals, but not Elena. We just happened to be human (well, a human and a dormant witch) doppelgängers living at the same time that aren't actually sisters. "Now that you know your  family history, you shall find out how to activate your powers...on one condition." I look at her hopefully, "what is it?" She smiles softly again before speaking, "you only use your magic for the good, never the evil." I nod and agree. "Good, now this may be 'cliché' as your generation calls it, but only a kiss from 'the man who has never loved' can activate your powers."
"Alright." I say, smiling up at her.
"Now close your eyes, count to 10 and when you open them, you will be home."
I close my eyes and count.

Through my gasping, I hear, "Ky?"
