The Salvatore Sister

Who Are You?

"Doppleganger." Everyone looked at me, shocked. I cannot believe I said that out loud. I covered my mouth with my hands, not wanting to say anything else. "Sydney, how... how did you know that?" Stefan asked. Realization came across Damon's face, and he groaned, "Katherine. She told you everything when you were human didn't she?"

When I was human? What is he talking about? "So I presume she has paid you both a visit. She is alive and well, yes? Is she still on the run?" I questioned. I needed to see Katherine and ask her what happened. "Yes, yes, and yes." Damon answered. "Syd, what's the last thing you remember? Before you woke up in here." Stefan asked me. I tried hard to think, but I was pulled into a vision.

"My nephew just died. I need to go back to Mystic Falls." I said.

"Do not leave." He said taking my hand. I saw in his eyes he did not want me to go, but there was something else... he was scared.

"My brothers might be there, I have to go. But I will be back, it is only a few days." I reasoned.

He nodded and picked up my trunk, loading it into the carriage. "Have a safe trip." He smiled as I climbed in.

"I will see you soon, Kol." I waved to him as the horses started walking.

"I remember dying, and then I just woke up here," I lied. Just then, I heard a commotion going on outside. I sensed that there were vampires, a lot of them, and two humans. I heard a man's voice saying, "Where is she?" and "We want to see her." Three of the voices were British, and there were two girl voices fighting about who should she get to see this person first.

Do they want to see me? Damon, intently listening, noticed how uncomfortable I was getting, and made his way to the door. He opened it up a crack, making sure that none of the people could see me. "What?" He growled. Damon was not pleased, but I could tell that none of these people actually meant any harm. "Damon, what's wrong?" A blonde vampire asked. A man tried to walk past Damon, but he couldn't get past the door, he hasn't been invited in. All of them were confused as to why they could not get in the house, but then a handsome brown haired man in a suit figured it out.

"The rituals been done. Sydney's human, and we have yet to be invited in." He spoke. I recognized the soft, calm tone in his voice, but I had no idea as to why it was so familiar. Now the two humans tried to walk in, but Damon would not let them past him. "Why can't we go in? We are her friends, we want to see her." A boy said with confidence, wow, you needed to be pretty confident to stand up to Damon; especially when he was protecting me.

That was when Stefan walked up to the door. "We don't want to overwhelm her." He said to them. I groaned, "I think I can decide what I can and cannot handle, brother." Using this to his advantage, one of the humans opened the doors, revealing me to everyone in the doorway. I did not recognize any of them, except one. "Kol?" I said, confused.

Everyone turned to look at him. My brothers were completely dumbfounded that I did not remember a single person but him. Kol smiled, I could tell he was happy to see me, as was I. "Sydney" A british man said, obviously trying to get my attention, he did. He was blonde, muscular, handsome, and he had so much vulnerability in his eyes at that moment. I felt bad that I had no idea who he was, but I was more focused on Kol at the moment.

I looked at this man, and I did not find anything that I recognized. I squinted my eyes, staring at his handsome features. He resembled Kol, and I knew it was probably one of his brothers. Kol never really talked about his family, he only said that he had 3 brothers and a sister. I looked at my brothers, hopefully they could get me out of this uncomfortable situation.

Damon looked sympathetic, and Stefan just looked down at his feet. I decided that I would just ask them all the question I had been dying to ask. "I am truly sorry, but who are the rest of you? I only know Kol." I said. They all looked at me with pure sadness on their faces. The blonde vampire standing next to Kol started to tear up. "She forgot about everyone didn't she?" The other blonde vampire said with sadness in her voice.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about the consequences." Bonnie said, yes, I got her name right that time. I became frustrated, what are they talking about? I am fine. "What is going on? What consequences? Damon?" I asked. I looked at my brother with hope that he could explain everything. He stared at me, pondering how he was going to answer, but he faced the door and said, "You all should probably come inside if you want me to explain everything to you all. This way I won't have to say it about a million times."

I sat down on the couch in between Bonnie and Stefan, and Elena was on the opposite couch with the two humans. Everyone else was standing, as was Damon. "As you all know, well except for Sydney." He started. "Sydney has been a vampire for 148 years," What?! I remember something warm sliding down my throat right before I died, but I did not think it was vampire blood! "Syd, I know this comes as a shock to you, but Stefan and I made the decision to turn you the day before you died. Anyways, You were a vampire, but you and Bonnie found a spell that could turn you human, so about 2 hours ago, Bonnie did the spell."

My eyes widened, how could I have been so stupid! "Wait, you said something about consequences...did you really think that by upsetting the balance of nature that large that it would not bring consequences? But just go on." I scolded them. Damon looked at the floor before saying, "Sydney woke up, and thought it was 1864. But as we all saw, she remembers Kol which is interesting." Damon stressed the word interesting way too much.

I shook my head, "That is not possible, I would not have done that. I would not have turned into a vampire, not by my own free will anyways." I saw Stefan and Damon exchange glances, of course I would have. I would want to be with them for eternity. I was furious with myself, so I walked out of the room, and upstairs. I was so blinded by rage that I did not even notice the shattering of glass next to me. I ran into my room, and slammed the door shut.

I tried to look for my diary, but it was nowhere to be found. I created a makeshift diary out of one of the blank books on the shelf. I started to write down my thoughts, not even caring that everyone was downstairs.

Dear Diary,

I woke up to find that I have been deprived of my memories. I fear that I may not get them back. I have so many questions, and most of them are left unanswered. Why do I only remember Kol? How did I know all these people? Where is Katherine? Through this whole experience, I wished that there were only two other people here to console me: Katherine, and Jesse. Why had my love not come for me after all these years? He is a vampire, so why is he not here? After the witch hunters came for me, he seems to disappear every once in a while. Yet, once the witch hunters left, so did he. Did I do anything wrong? Had Damon or Stefan scared him away? I do not know what to think of my long lost love at the moment. Then, there is my best friend, Katherine. I was worried that she was going to get caught by that man one day. I just want someone to talk to, as Katherine always understood me. So I ask you Diary, why have I come back to this world clueless? Is this an opportunity to be a new person, or is this a trap for others to finally defeat me?

Always and forever,

Sydney Salvatore
