Inside The Vault, Ravenswood's local coffee shop, a small group of teens drank coffee and exchanged awkward glances. The group was made up of six people, two of which could pass as twins if it weren't for the fact that one was dead and that they shared the same name: Caleb Rivers. The dead Caleb was an ancestor of the living Caleb and he wasn't the only ghost present among the teens.

The other ghost was a young woman who had died a few weeks earlier. Her name was Miranda. Silence filled the area as a surprised Luke Matheson glanced back and forth between his new close friend Caleb Rivers and the person they had come to refer to as 'Original' Caleb.

Olivia, Luke's twin sister, exchanged a confused look with Remy Beaumont, Luke's girlfriend. When they had first found out details about Original Caleb's life, they had learned that he was killed alongside his wife, Miranda Collins, on their wedding day almost a century ago. They were among the first teen victims of the curse that plagued Ravenswood. After they died, the Original Miranda's mother and Original Caleb's father had made a sacrifice so that their children would be reincarnated and return to break the curse.

Two weeks ago the person who had created the curse had tried to kill them all inside a chapel, but had ultimately failed when present day Miranda's uncle released Original Caleb's lock of hair from the jar where it had been kept in. Breaking the jar had released Original Caleb's spirit.

Now both Calebs were studying each other while present day Miranda watched them. Present day Caleb and his friends were all marked by the curse and because of that, they were able to see the ghosts of all the previous victims of the curse, including Miranda and the Original Caleb.

Unfortunately those who are close to anyone targeted by the curse also face danger. For that reason Caleb had chosen to break up with his girlfriend, Hanna, so that she would be safe from potential harm. The plan backfired when Hanna visited him two weeks ago, searching for answers.

-'Are you telling me my father sacrificed himself in order to bring my wife and me back from the dead and break the curse and that when you and Miranda came here you were targeted by the same curse?' Original Caleb tried his best to comprehend everything he was told. For him everything felt strange. Two weeks ago he had woken up near his house from what felt like a long sleep.

His last memories were of the boating accident that had killed him, his wife and three of their friends so after his spirit was released, he began to search for Miranda. He found the present day Miranda instead. She was sitting on a bench in the place where he had proposed to his wife long ago, a sad look on her face. Both of them had felt a very strong pull towards each other and neither of them understood what was going on.

Miranda was confused as to why the person she thought was her Caleb could touch her, while Original Caleb wanted to know if his wife was alright and also why everything was so different from when he had died a century ago. It had taken Miranda a long while to explain things to him. It didn't help that, for some reason, she kept having flashes of memories belonging to the other Miranda. It also didn't help that for the brief time she had known the present day Caleb, she had fallen in love with him, a fact that everyone in their group seemed to be aware of but no one talked about.

When Hanna visited Caleb everyone saw the way his behavior changed due to the devotion he carried for her. No one besides Miranda had been there to see Hanna and Caleb say goodbye, much less the pain written on Caleb's face as he watched Hanna drive away. Those were the reasons that made Miranda go the bench where Original Caleb had found her.

-'We believed it to be true, the whole reincarnation thing. Well almost all of us did. Caleb refused to believe it, but you guys look so much alike that it's hard to imagine you two not being the same person.' Olivia answered her voice even as she watched Original Caleb, before her pity-filled eyes moved to Miranda.

-'Well as I told you guys before, I love Hanna. My heat didn't go pitter-patter when Miranda and I met on that bus despite our similar upbringings. This whole reincarnation and soul mate thing sounds good but it's not for me.' Caleb felt this would be one of those long days where his head would fill with theories and questions.

However, his thoughts were interrupted as he saw a tall brunette enter the coffee shop while talking on the phone. Not noticing Caleb, she went to the counter and ordered three coffees. Caleb excused himself from his friends and walked towards the young girl. He placed his hand on her shoulder and she jumped slightly, startled.

-'Han, I'll talk to you later. Caleb just scared the living hell out of me.' Spencer ended the call, turned around, and hugged Caleb. The group sitting at the table stared at them, confused about Caleb's relationship with her. 'Don't scare me like that again, okay, Caleb?'

-'Spencer, what are you doing here? Is everything alright back home?' Caleb kept his voice low so that he would not attract any more attention to them. As Spencer grabbed the three coffees she had ordered and headed towards the exit, Caleb followed her and opened the door for her. Once outside, he noticed Hanna's car was parked a few feet away. 'Wait up, Spence. Is Hanna here as well?'

-'Yes, she is. She and Toby are visiting this old house on Sawmill Street. I came here to get some coffee. Why don't you come see what's going on? And maybe we can catch up?' The pair entered the car and Spencer soon started it driving away while Caleb held onto the coffees. .

They soon reached their destination and Caleb felt confused as Spencer pulled the car in a house's driveway that was right across from the house his dad had just inherited. The pair got out and made their way inside the house. 'Hanna? Toby? Where are you guys? I brought the coffee.'

-'Toby is trying to break the door to the attic. Did you mention coffee? Caleb? What are you doing here?' A petite blonde woman descended the stairs when she heard Spencer's voice and stopped herself short when she noticed Caleb was also there.

-'I ran into Spencer at The Vault and decided to tag along. What are you guys doing here?' Caleb decided this was definitely not his day. His ex and their best friends were all in the same place and none of them were really safe there.

-'My grandma died last week and she left me this house. I'm trying to figure out if I want to keep it or not so I dragged Toby here to take a look at it with me. Spencer tagged along to keep us from killing each other.'

-'Hanna? I think you need to see this. And can you please call Caleb and ask him to meet us here?' Toby yelled from the second floor, unaware of Caleb's presence inside the house. The trio walked upstairs, headed towards the attic's entrance, and stopped once they reached Toby.

-'Hey Toby. What's up? I was already here when you told Hanna to call me.' Caleb and Toby quickly gave each other a small pat on the back. Toby then gestured for them to enter the attic. Once inside, both Hanna and Caleb froze in shock.

Hanging on the wall was a painting of a young woman who resembled Hanna dancing with the person Caleb assumed was actually Original Caleb. Feeling his friends stare at him, Caleb turned and gazed at Hanna. She walked to the painting and touched it, a surreal feeling washed over her. I just changed the wording a little to make the paragraph work grammatically.

-'I noticed this painting after I managed to break down the door and I thought you guys might be interested in seeing it.' Toby shifted on his feet as Spencer studied the attic. She noticed several closed trunks were set aside. It almost felt as if Hanna's grandma had set out puzzle pieces for her granddaughter to uncover. The only question that remained is why would she do that? And more importantly who made that painting and when?

-'Han? Are you ok? Maybe we should stop and take a break? You've barely eaten anything or gotten much sleep since your grandma died. Why don't we go outside and get some fresh air? What do you say?' Spencer grabbed Hanna's arm and guided her out of the attic, the two boys following them.

Once they got out of the house Hanna's cell phone started ringing. She answered it and walked away to talk while Caleb stayed behind facing team 'Spoby.' Spencer shook her head, her eyes following Hanna's figure as she walked through the yard.

-'Turns out Hanna's family originated from Ravenswood. Apparently they are one of the founding families. Her grandma left this place a long time ago but she kept the family home. It appears that not only did she leave Hanna this house, but she also left her with a lot of questions about her ancestry.'

-'Sorry, it was my mom. She wanted to know if I've made up my mind about this situation. I told her I was thinking of maybe spending the night in Ravenswood so that I can finish exploring the house. I'll decide then.' Hanna looked exhausted. .

It was only then that Caleb noticed her hair was now shorter with black streaks. However, he decided to remain focused on the more pressing issue of finding out just how exactly Hanna's family fit in the whole Ravenswood mess. What did it mean? This was clearly not Caleb's best day.
