I hope you will enjoy this last volume. I am really excited about it, because now everything is going to come together nicely (well, that depends on how you see it).

Chapter 1

1998

49 years had passed since Katherine Pierce had been staked by Tom Marvolo Riddle in the forests of Albania. 49 years of Katherine wandering aimlessly around various countries. She had come back to life because she still had Vilhelm's gift of being an Original vampire. The only weapon that would be able to kill her had been destroyed millions of years ago. Thankfully Riddle hadn't been aware of that because otherwise Katherine would be really dead.

But right now the brunette wanted nothing more but to die. She had trusted Tom in every possible way. They had lived together and there never had been a sign that would have showed his distrust. Katherine had loved him and for her the past years had been proof that Riddle – even though he claimed that he didn't believe in love – felt for her in some way. But she had never expected him to kill her – well, to try to kill her.

She felt as if her heart had been ripped out, thrown onto the ground and a herd of centaurs had stomped over it.

At first Katherine had planned on staying in Albania but it occurred to her very soon that the memories of her and Tom were just too present there. She couldn't take it so she started travelling all countries that were located around the small land in Europe. She managed to find nomadic vampires here and there so she stayed with them for a bit until she felt that it was time for her to move on again.

So Katherine eventually came back to her home country Bulgaria and managed to find the nomadic vampires her parents were with. Her mother Rumena Petrova was glad to see her daughter again and this time Katherine was able to meet her father Samuil too. They had heard from Kiril that she had betrayed the 'Inner Circle' and had switched sides. Of course Katherine had to explain to them what happened since – including Tom staking her.

Rumena was furious and spent half an hour cursing Riddle in Bulgarian for treating her daughter that way. After Samuil had successfully managed to calm her down her parents told Katherine what had happened since she had been kinda MIA.

The First Wizarding War had taken place and Riddle – or Voldemort, how he was now known all around the world – would have won if there hadn't been this incident with that boy. Apparently he had wanted to kill a boy named Harry Potter but his mother had sacrificed her own life to save her one year old son. Because of this shield of love Voldemort's killing curse didn't affect Harry – except for leaving a scar shaped like a lightning bolt on his forehead – but his Avada Kedavra turned against him and killed him.

But because of his Horcruxes Katherine knew that he must have continued to live as some sort of a ghost until two years ago his mangled soul had returned into a new body. Harry Potter had been the witness of this and he had fought the Dark Lord many times over the years. And now the Second Wizarding War was in full swing and everyone knew that the final showdown could take place any day now.

After she had managed to comprehend all of the events that had occurred over the past 49 years, Katherine's mind swirled with questions and one was how Riddle had died because of Potter in 1979. She herself had turned him into a vampire… How could he have died? Even an Avada Kedavra couldn't kill a vampire!

As she asked her mother, Rumena gave her the advice to return to the 'Inner Circle' and ask them for an answer. At first Katherine refused this option but after she thought about that for a while she came to the conclusion that she wanted to get revenge on Riddle for betraying her. She had switched sides once… who said it was impossible to do that a second time?

Her father Samuil accompanied her to the headquarters of the 'Inner Circle' and as Katherine now stood in the same Assembly Hall she had learned 55 years ago what the task fate had laid upon her was.

The members of the 'Circle' were surprisingly welcoming to her and nobody seemed to be mad at her for betraying them. But still Katherine felt ashamed as she asked for their forgiveness. Vilhelm smiled at her and said that he had known all the time that she would come back. And with a ritual the 'Circle' found out that Katherine really wanted to come back out of her own free will and that this wasn't some trick of Voldemort. So the brunette was allowed back into the 'Inner Circle'

"May I ask you something Vilhelm?" Eventually Katherine had the chance to ask the leader of the 'Circle' what was on her mind. After the old vampire had allowed her to speak, she swallowed and stepped into the middle of the hall, all eyes on her. "Well, I have turned Tom – I mean Voldemort – into a vampire and therefore made him immortal… But why did his body die after the incident with Harry Potter?" Vilhelm smiled as if he had been expecting this question. "When you are turned into a vampire, you lose your soul to the devil. But since Voldemort had mangled his soul by splitting it into six parts – yes, by now there exist six Horcruxes -" – he added as Katherine's eyebrows flew up in surprise – "he had no soul to give to the devil. So he was only a half-vampire and therefore not really immortal. That's why he died in 1979."

Furthermore Katherine was informed that Harry Potter was known as the 'Chosen One' to kill Voldemort. Apparently Voldemort had heard parts of the prophecy that made him think that this boy was the one to kill him so he tried to destroy him in 1979. That was the knowledge the 'Circle' had received from an organization in England who were in charge of building up the resistance against the Dark Lord. This so called Order of the Poenix would surely be highly interested in what Katherine knew about their enemy. So Vilhelm suggested that if she agreed to that, he would arrange a meeting with the members of the Order and Katherine.

The brunette had absolutely nothing to say against this suggestion so she agreed to meet the Order of the Phoenix.

"Here we are Katerina!" Vilhelm motioned to an inconsiderable grey serial house in front of them. Katherine noticed that there was a gap in the numbering. "Okay, what house number was it again?" "12. Grimmauld Place 12." A little laugh escaped her mouth as Katherine read the little metal signs at the façades of the houses. "11.. and 13… Okay, let me guess… The house is hidden somewhere!" Instead of answering, Vilhelm conjured a wooden stick out of nowhere and hit the paved street three times in a certain rhythm.

At first nothing happened but after a few seconds Katherine felt that the ground was slightly vibrating. And then she saw how the row of houses before them was moving to the sides and normally there must have been a gap between houses 11 and 13 but there wasn't! Another much older house appeared and as Katherine read the number on the sign next to the huge entrance door, she was once again astonished what wondrous things you could do with magic. In front of them was house 12.

After the other houses had stopped moving Vilhelm motioned for Katherine to follow him but she kept back "I don't want to be rude Vilhelm, but this is something I have to do alone!" The old vampire nodded in understanding and he opened the front door for her. "I understand. Good luck Katerina!" "Thanks for bringing me here." The brunette smiled at him one last time before she turned and entered the dark house.

The small hallway right behind the door lead to a room which was lit with candles and with her sharp eyes Katherine could see many people sitting around a long table and discussing loudly. These must be the members of the Order of the Phoenix…

Katherine slowly advanced to the door that lead to what appeared to be a dining room and knocked onto the open door.

All people in the room jumped to action as they saw the intruder. With their wands raised and in defensive postures, the members watched every single move of Katherine. The vampire leaned herself against the doorframe and smirked at the astonished people in front of her.

"Who are you?" A tall man with brown-grey hair and a scar across his face bellowed eventually, the woman with pink hair next to him looked briefly at him but then her gaze quickly went back to staring down Katherine.

The brunette's smile widened as she pushed herself from the doorframe and walked casually a few steps into the room. "I am Katherine Pierce. And I am here to tell you some very interesting things about the Dark Lord!"
