Up until a few chapters in, I am writing out about the past more than the future (as this will be the only chapter that will have a bit of the future in it) that will end up changing and also how time ends up working for this: 1 month is equal to 1 year and as Elena is going to be in the past from the end of May to September, she would have been in the past for four and a half years

Chapter 1: Choosing friends and courting season

Ayana reminded Elena so much of Bonnie but she had a feeling that Ayana was much more of a friend than Bonnie has been recently.

At least she wouldn't have to worry about being trapped in her hut by the witch or have her life being dictated by anyone like her and believe it to be the right way.

"When do you come from?" Ayana asked.

"Mystic Falls in 2010." Ayana blinked at her, suddenly curious why the spirits never mentioned a time traveller appearing.

She would have to monitor the girl who bore a striking resemblance to Tatia Petrova.

Bonnie awoke to a splitting headache but caught no sign of her doppelgänger best friend. Everything she had was there-phone, car keys, vervain necklace-and she begun to panic which only intensified when Caroline and Damon walked into the witch house that only affected Damon. Caroline looked rapidly around but when she saw Elena's things but no Elena, the blonde grew worried.

"Where's Elena?" Bonnie couldn't help but shake her head.

"No idea. All I did was this spell-" she pointed it out to them and shrugged looking around at all the broken pieces of the things that were already in there, "when everything crystallize and began to break and I fell unconscious." She tried to blink back the fog of sleepiness. "After that...no idea. Why?"

Now her worry spiked.

Did she say the right words or did she screw it up?

Damon took a look at the spell and couldn't tell if it was the right wording or not. He tried remembering the Latin that his mother drilled into his head back when he was a boy but after over 173 years of walking the Earth with little to no care for witches, he had no idea if this wording was real or not.

"Well you're in luck Mystic Idiots," the three turned to see Katherine Pierce standing there with a smirk on her face. "It so happens that I know a witch who can read Latin better than your little pet witch here but she has to be the one to call her."

Bonnie knew who she was talking about.

"Lucy."

Elena stared at the woman as she told her what the words were and Ayana shook her head sadly.

"I am sorry child," Ayana began sadly. "What your witch friend was not the proper wording for the spell." She turned her head but she turned back to stare at the sad girl again. "If I could, I would send you back to your time but at the moment, I do not think that to be a choice to make. There must be a reason you were sent to this time."

"Is there a way to send me to my original time or am I to live in this one?" Elena was desperate to know the answer.

"I cannot tell you as I must talk to the spirits about this."

Elijah was staring at her as she spoke with his sister Rebekah, the two bonding over their mutual love of the vervain flower.

For some reason, his heart began to thrum and beat wildly, trying to figure out who Elena Gilbert was.

"She does look like me," he turned his head to look at Tatia who appeared behind him. "I had hoped it was true...you have let me go. You did not choose me but you chose her." She smiled and put her hand on his cheek in a light caress. "I bid you luck with her."

He smiled and whispered, "I wish you the same luck with Nik."

She smiled a radiant smile and took off to find the man to tell him that she chose him.

She had chosen him, even if her mind said that it wasn't logical, her heart said that he was her perfect match.

He watched her leave when he felt someone stand in front of him and as he turned back, he saw the girl he had been thinking about.

Before he could say anything, Ayana came and had taken Elena back to her hut.

As soon as Ayana shut the door, the woman spoke in a gentle tone.

"The spirits say that you are to unite the siblings in ways long forgotten before you are to leave. When you are needed to leave, they will inform me."

"Until then, do what?" Elena said with her voice brimming in hope. Ayana smiled and made sure that the hope that the girl had will not dwindle.

"Be yourself and do the one thing that makes you happy."

The smile that lit Elena's face looked beautiful.

Elijah was staring at Elena who looked up at him and he kissed her as passionately as he could, enjoying her taste of chocolate and pomegranates swirled together in harmony. Pulling away, he smiled and ran to Ayana's hut to ask her permission to court her ward.

"Do you promise to be faithful to her and only her?"

"I do." Ayana smiled at him and nodded.

"Then you have my permission to court her." His smile was wide and as he raced over to Elena to tell her, the two kissed again.

Nik had also asked Tatia's parents if he could court their daughter and as they readily accepted him, he had formally asked her if she and her son would attend the festivities with him. As she nodded, he kissed her hand and whispered, "I will meet you both here."

Ayana looked at the two couples in front of her and smiled as the spirits gave her a vision-

Elena had two children and another on the way but she was smiling and dancing with Elijah

Tatia had two more children with Niklaus and as he taught the boys to hunt she was caring for the little girl who looked like him with her eyes

They were...happy just being with each other and she knew that no one will be able to break them apart.

So what did you all think of this chapter? Good? Bad? I need to add more to it? Tell me in those beautiful things called reviews!

I just hope that it was good and you all liked it.
