As I wake up, all I can focus on is a severe pounding in my head. I just want to go back to sleep so bad, maybe the pain will to this way the pain will go....

Open your eyes Little One.

What the fuck?

Oh god I'm hearing voices, I've officially gone crazy. Maybe I should have gone to see a a psychiatrist when I was younger after all.

You are not crazy Little One. My name is Castiel, I resurrected you when you died.

Like the angel Castiel from Supernatural?

I suppose I'm similar but it's not quite like that, we can get into it another day.

Why was I resurrected Cass?

I felt you could do good in this world, so I marked you as one of my own and put you here. You are the first I have done that with.

Oh, well I guess I should say thank you. What world am I in?

You are in the world of what your world calls 'The Vampire Diaries'.

No way!

That's so cool Cass!!

I'm glad you think so Little One. You are not far from the Salvatore Boarding House, you may go take a look if you want or you can go to the house I have supplied for you. You have a lot to learn before the masquerade ball tomorrow.

What do I have to learn?

You have powers, elemental and magnified witch powers. As well as the ability of compulsion over all beings, vampire strength and speed and a vampire/werewolf hybrid face incase you need to scare others.

Scare others?

Katerina perhaps.

I see what you mean. Can I go to the house you got me to train?

Of course.

I feel the wind rushing around me and I can feel myself being lifted up high as if into the air.

I open my eyes and find myself in front of a large red house that is surround by the forest.

Wow it's beautiful.

Good I'm glad you think so. Now, let us begin, we have a lot to learn.

It takes all day but I finally manage to control all of the elements and my witchy magic, it's like there is no bounds to what I can do. It is truly amazing.

I'm exhausted but excited at the same time for tomorrow's events.

I've decided that at the ball, I will speak to Katerina so then we can meet as I perhaps want to be her friend. She could prove as a useful ally if things go well. I've decided I will let myself be kidnapped so then I can meet Elijah. Because let's be honest, who wouldn't want to meet him.

After that I will go rescue poor Enzo as I can't let him stay in that disgusting place any longer.

Cass? I was meaning to ask you, what are the tattoo like marks on my body?

They are your soul marks, they represent your mates Little One.

Mates? I have mates?

You do, all supernatural creatures apart from female doppelgängers have mates.... I can tell from your emotions that you are apprehensive about it.

I just don't trust easy that's all, I'm afraid I won't live up to their expectations.

You will Little One, I promise.

Another thing, I have six soul marks.

You do.

That's a lot.

You will be fine Little One.

It's the day of the masquerade ball and I found a nice dress and mask in my closet which means I don't have to go shopping. Yay!

I've also spelled the mask so it won't come off unless I want it to, I can't have anyone finding out who I am, not yet anyway. I've also spelled my hair so I look like a typical brunette, it should hopefully disguise my identity a bit better.

I spend the rest of the day practicing my powers before getting changed into my dress. It's probably not the best dress I could have worn but I didn't have a lot of time to be picky.

I get into my new 4x4 and make my way over to the Lockwoods, thankfully it isn't that far of a drive and I got over there pretty quickly.

Releasing a worried breath, I quickly hop out of the car and compel Mrs Lockwood to let me in.

For somebody who was aware of vampires you would think that she would take vervain.

Foolish woman.

I am deliberately late so then I don't have to wait for Stefan and Damon to trap Katerina, they should've of done it by now if my memory is correct.

Knowing me, it probably isn't.

Winding my way through the crowd, I make my way upstairs and I spot the room instantly.

Deep breath Crystal, you can do this. Just walk into the room that contains one ripper and two emotionally unstable vampires.

I swing open the door and march in to find three shocked vampires.

Damon and Stefan are paused in their attack of Katerina and boy do they look gorgeous!

Even more in real life.

Katherine doesn't look to bad herself, if she didn't piss me off so much sometimes I would probably want to-

Focus Crystal.

Suddenly Katerina speeds over to me to take a bite I'm assuming but I fling her against the wall behind her, keeping her trapped there with magic.

"Who are you?" Stefan asks in a polite tone, despite the situation.

He is just too cute.

"Nobody Steffy" I reply, eyeing Katerina with distrust.

I'm sorry I couldn't help but call him that, it feels almost natural.

Sighing, I pin him against the wall opposite Katerina and also keep him trapped there, I didn't want to take any chances.

"Mine" I hear somebody growl.

Excuse me?

I turn around to face the vamp and I feel a strange tingling sensation on my inner right wrist where one of my soul marks are.

Surely it can't be Damon?

He is supposed to love the doppelgänger.

I need to leave, he most likely won't let me go rescue Enzo otherwise.

"I'm sorry Damon, forgive me." I whisper to his shocked face before flinging him against another wall.

He looks so heart broken, I feel awful.

I have to focus, time to talk to Katerina.

She may be a bit of a bitch sometimes but her fashion is on point.
