Ok, so the season finale of Vampire Diaries was amazing! How many of you knew it was Katherine at the end and not Elena? I knew it right away. There were three key things that lead to it not being Elena. First, her hair was curly and not straight. Second, Elena wasn't wearing that outfit throughout the entire show. Then last. Elena had just announced to Stefan that she loves him and is not in any sort of romantic state with Damon. So at the end when Damon recieved his kiss from the supposed Elena, I knew it was Katherine. You could also tell just by the way she was acting. Poor John though. I don't want him to die. He was starting to act like a father. Anyway. Here's my look at the start of the next season. Oh...and I think I'm gonna bring Isobel back in this to help protect Elena. Get some motherly love in this. Haha.

"Jeremy?" Elena called as she pushed the front door shut behind her. "Hello?" She took a second to casually hang her coat up. As she started to walk up the stairs to check on Jeremy, she stopped when she heard a loud 'thump' in the kitchen. "Hello?" She called one last time. A thought rang through her mind as she walked towards the kitchen. 'Jenna'. "Aunt Jenna?"

Elena wandered around the doorway to the kitchen. She stood frozen at the sight before her. Blood was all over the counter and slowly dripping onto the ground. Part of a hand was laying also on the counter. Elena instantly knew the ring. John. Without thinking anything through, Elena ran to the female attacker. "Hey! Get off of him!" She gripped the girl's shoulders and pulled her backwards, shoving the girl to the side. John was covered in blood and a vampire bite was visible on his neck. "Dad." She gasped. The word came naturally from her mouth.

John stared back at Elena with wide red eyes. "Elena." He gasped slowly. "Run. Please run." He spoke between heavy gasps.

Her eyes grew wide as she stared deep into his eyes. Slowly, her head turned to look at the girl she had just shoved away. What she saw was exactly what she expected. It was almost like looking straight into a mirror. The girl had the same features as Elena. They could be identical twins. Of course, the girl's hair was much more curly then Elena's. And the girl's eyes were filled with evil. Blood dripped from her lips as she fixed her gaze to match Elena's. "Katherine?"

The girl's face turned into a sharp grin. The grin then broadened into a smile. Her fangs glistening in the light. Her face turned back to normal from feeding on John. "Well, well, well. Looks like I finally get to meet the famous Elena." She placed her hands on her hips. "Do me a favor and pass me a napkin." She nodded her head to the stack of paper towels beside Elena.

Afraid to even move, Elena was struck. She didn't know how to react to this. Sure she knew that Katherine was alive, but she didn't think Katherine would actually come here. And now with her here, there were so many things she could do. She could pretend to be Elena. She could lead everyone on. Elena was knocked out of her thoughts as Katherine took a step forward. "Or nevermind. I'll get it myself." Katherine reached out, slightly brushing Elena's arm. Elena flinched back. Katherine let out a chuckle as she wiped the blood from her mouth.

Elena tried her best to avoid any kind of contact with Katherine as she walked to John's side. "He needs to get to a hospital." She reached under his arm to help support him.

Katherine laughed. "Don't worry Elena. I was only a little thirsty. He'll be fine." She shrugged her shoulders. "After all. It wouldn't be fair to eliminate your father from the game too soon."

Elena turned to glare at Katherine. "What game? This isn't a game Katherine." Elena's tone was serious and unemotional. "Get out of my house. Now."

She laughed once again, only this time it was much more darker. "What are you going to do when I leave Elena? Huh? Run off and call the Salvatore boys?" Katherine smirked at her. "You really do have both of them wrapped around your finger. Don't you? I mean, I couldn't resist when Damon kissed me tonight." She watched Elena's expression turn to one of shock. "Too bad he thought it was you."

"Stay away from me!" Elena held her hand out in front of her, as Katherine zeroed in on her. Out of the corner of her eye she could see the phone on the hook. There's no way she'd be able to have Stefan on the phone in time. Katherine would have her on the ground in seconds. But she desperately needed to help John. He isn't the nicest guy, but he's still her father.

"Oh Elena, Elena." Katherine smiled brightly at her. "I like pretending to be you. It's quite fun actually. It was fun making Damon think I was you. I can't imagine what Stefan will do."

"No!" Elena yelled.

"Oh yes." Katherine knocked John out of Elena's grasp. He fell to the floor in pain. "You've had your fun Elena. Now it's my turn." In one swift motion, she had Elena found everything around her going black. The last thing she remembered was seeing Katherine's grinning face, looking down at her.

Damon rushed home with a new sensation inside him. Kissing Elena was something he knew was wrong, but yet it felt completely right to him. Though strangly, it had an odd similarity to it. Like he's kissed her before, but he hasn't. He settled inside his home. Stefan was sitting by the fire place as Damon entered the living room. "Thanks for saving my life tonight." Damon spoke.

Stefan waved his hand. "Don't worry about it. That's what brothers are for." He looked up as Damon took a seat opposite of him.

"Bonnie didn't deactivate device." Damon stated.

"No she didn't." Stefan replied. "She warned me tonight, that if you kill another innocent person again, she'll kill you."

Damon couldn't help but laugh. "Oh I'm sure. Just like Emily, huh?" As he spoke that last question something clicked inside his head. Emily. The witch that protected Katherine. the witch that was loyal to Katherine, but didn't want people to be hurt. The witch that protected Katherine. Katherine is alive. The kiss he had with Elena was too familiar. "What was Elena wearing tonight?" He asked suddenly.

"A blue sweater. Why?"

Damon stood up. Curls. Elena's hair was completely straight tonight. Katherine. Her curls always glistened in the light. Damon put his hands up to his head. He squeezed his eyes shut. Elena was at home. But who was at her house with her? He threw the chair that he was sitting on across the room. "Damn it!"

"Damon? Calm down! What's going on?" Stefan stood up.

"It's Elena!" Damon screamed. "Katherine she's here! And I kissed her."
