Ok just so we are clear this is gonna take off from the most recent episode of The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 23 'Graduation'. Elena is still a vampire and has just forced the cure on my girl Katherine, all the while finally choosing a Salvatore brother, Damon.

Bonnie has traded her life for Elena's brother, Jeremy, who is the only one who knows and can still see her after she put the veil back up from the 'other side'. Klaus came back from just finding out about Hayley and her pregnancy in New Orleans, to Mystic Falls to save Caroline and release Tyler back to her; and Matt joined Rebekah to travel the world together.

Meanwhile everybody thinks Silas has been turned to stone, but is revealed to be Stefan's original doppelganger. And there's a new orignal in town, but is she all that she seems?

So the story continues…

I went to the family mansion Kol had written to me about, to change clothes and grab a few last things before my children got back from their assignment.

I walked through the enormous entrance and immediately headed for the stairs, through Klaus's art studio and into his large bedroom, where I take off my dirt stained pink shirt and gently place Kol's burned body on Klaus's bed. I looking around Klaus's room piles of drawings up on top of one another, all of them pictures of a blonde haired teenager, her golden curls lying across the page. I pick one up and stare at it. My lip curls in disgust. Pitiful.

"Maybe she will be the first one I kill" I say out loud. Then taking all my brother drawings except the one I lit the fire place and tossed them in.

I glance back at my little brother, for a moment. Kol would say I'm being very vindictive, right about now. A small, sad smile spreads across my face.

"No worries brother, your big sis is here to right wrongs." she whispers to him before covering his burnt body once more and head towards Klaus's bathroom for a shower.

…..

I walk out of the bathroom wearing a royal blue dress and strappy heeled sandals drying my hair a bit more with my towel.

There's a knock at the bedroom door, and in enters one of the women I have compelled to be my servant. She is dressed in a black V-neck shirt, some leggings and black flats.

"There's someone here to see you mistress" She states blankly, her mind has been wiped so many times there really wasn't much left to her anymore; just another pretty blank face for me to order around and my kids to feed on.

"What?" I snapped, turning around.

"Who is it?" I asked, walking closer towards her.

I was in a foul mood.

Having to track down my brother's dead body and then not to mention having to dig it up, while fighting tears and the instinct to kill everything in this town…my patience was wearing thin.

"I…I don't know, she's waiting for you in the first floor study. S...sorry mistress" She stuttered back, her eyes dropping to the floor. I suddenly grabbed her by the throat and pushed her body up against the wall. She made a small whimper before the air was knocked out of her lungs by the force of my strength.

"You mean to tell me that there is a stranger in my house, and you have no idea who she is?!" I roared at her, my face barely inches from hers.

She was crying now, the pain in her back starting to come out as she struggled to breathe. I just kept starting at her, my eyes glowing gold and the veins around them darkening as they filled with blood, as I slowly tightened my grip around her neck, watching her struggle for air, before finally letting go and dropping her to the ground.

"Useless" I spat at her as I grabbed my black veil and walked out the door and down the stairs, leaving the girl sobbing on the floor beneath me.

I quickly open the heavy double doors into the study; curious to see who's in my house and what exactly they want.

Everything is exactly as I left it.

I scan the room to find it empty, my eyes narrowing as my guard went up.

Who the hell was attempting to play games with me?

Suddenly a huge leather chair behind a desk turned around to reveal her.

She was gorgeous; big forest green eyes framed with black kohl and huge lashes stared back at him with confidence. Her long, red hair fell down over her shoulders and cascaded over her perky breasts. She was wearing a skin tight white button up dress shirt, a plaid mini skirt, a black blazer jacket and six inch heeled ankle boots. Her skin was flawlessly smooth. She wore dark red lipstick on her pouty lips, and it reminded me of rich, deep blood. She was everything a witch should be; beautiful, strong, stunning, intimidating, and for a moment, she took my breath away, all over again.

"Circe?"

"Hello Claudine. Long time no see." she replied. Her liquid eyes staring deeply back at me.

"Wha?..."

"What am I doing here?" she finished my sentence before I could open my mouth to even ask. I just stood there still staring at her, waiting for her to answer the question.

A smile spread across her face.

"Well, when two little blonde birdies tell me that you had come to Mystic Falls all the way from your summer place outside of St Petersburg just to look for a witch, normally I wouldn't care less."

"But I know you too well Claudine, you wouldn't return for just any reason, and from what I've been hearing, it has something to do with your family."

""So how's your family Dine? I heard you finally made up your mind about them. Poor Finn, he always was a Mommy's boy…"

"There's nothing truly sad about Finn's death. He took it upon himself to aid our mother in our deaths, in my eyes he is nothing but a traitor." I said coldly.

Circe shivered, "well what about Rebekah, I hear she's still alive and still a raving bitch."

"Yes," I said raising my eyebrow at her last comment, "alive but not a bitch, I like to think my baby sister is just extremely spoiled rotten."

"Pfft translation, bitch. How's Elijah?"

"Still noble still cleaning up after Niklaus."

"Speaking of the devil?"

"Let's not talk about that treacherous bastard." I hissed my eyes flashing a dangerous gold.

Circe fidgeted, gulped and then looked away. "Then that leads me to presume you are here about Kol."

My eyes narrowed to slits "I'm truly sorry about Kol, he knew how to have such a good time." Circe smiled at the memories.

"No worries love, Kol will be up and running before the sun sets tomorrow."

"Whaa?" It was her turn to be shocked.

The front door slammed open as Royce and Raynah dragged a woman in by her hair and threw her at my feet.

"We're back mommy!" Raynah said excitedly.

"Yes we have returned. We brought you the witch like you asked" Royce said calmer he honesty reminded me of Elijah. He looked behind me and smiled. "I see Lady Circe has made it. Wonderful. Now the spell can commence."

I smiled wickedly as both witches heads snapped up to look at me.

"What spell?" Circe asked but already knowing the answer.

Staring at the witch that was desperately fighting her restrains.

"A resurrection spell…"
