So, our dinner party... Why do those two look at me so funny? Come on! Yes I am different than the rest of my family. My parents adopted children that werențt pure blood, that were a mixture of the species, abomination in the eyes of the supernatural world, but me I was special. Special, is the word my parents use as to describe my capabilities. What? Every parent thinks their child is flawless.

Please, look away. Ah... the Petrova woman just stared. Why does nobody else see it? And then Kol... what? It is insane. He sits right beside me and just looks at me like I am the 8th wonder of the world.

'So, from where did you come? I mean, have you been travelling before coming here or do you leave near by?', I start to act like them, I am going insane.

'No, actually. We live in New York City, but the rest of my family are in NOLA. Unfortunately I haven't seen them in over 25 years.', Kol stated with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. His eyes betrayed his curiosity. 'What about you? Your parents told us that you are studying to be a doctor.'

'Actually, I finished my studies early and I am an intern.'I hope I didn't sound smugly, but these kind of questions you would ask someone that has no purpose in life. Ask something interesting, cause the look you two are giving me is creepy. But, as on queu, Katerina asks

'So, have you ever been to a town called Mystic Falls?', Katerina asks, measuring me.

'No, actually I never heared of it. Why do you ask?'

'You just resamble someone I knew a long time ago.', Katerina answers with a low voice. 'But she died a long time ago, before you were even born.' Nice dinner conversation. Thank God my parents are in deep conversation with the rest of our guests and my brothers seem totally oblivious to my situation.

'Really, a friend or a foe?', I know that my sarcasm is my strongest point, but the only answer I received were blank faces and an ending to our conversation.

...

After our dinner party, I found myself at the door with my parents saying our goodbyes to our guests. As it was really late I hardly could keep my eyes open and I really couldn't fell my legs (doamn thes high heels, they are adorable, but painful). My mind was everywhere, but not here, and then they came to say their goodbyes. As it was the entire evening, their faces haven't chaneged.

'It was a pleasure meeting you Cecily, I hope we will see you soon", Kol said it with an honesty that surprised me.

'Actually we will stay in town for some time and it would be really nice to have a female companion. As you see this one here can hardly keep a normal conversation', said Katerina with a smile that should have warmed my heart, but the only thing that came to my mind was that she wasn't any better than Kol.

'We will see what we can do for the following days', please go, just go...

As if they heard me they left and the house became pleasant again and itt started becoming a home. Really the only things I wanted were my bed and my dreams, my lovely dreams...

...

Outside in the meantime:

'You need to call him and tell him exactly what happened?', said Katerina.

'Really, and what should I say? Hey Klaus, guess what, me and Katerina are alive and the love of your life, who sacrificed herself by saving your child, is also alive but doesn't know who you are.', Kol yelled and started gesturing like a true politician.

'He needs to find out. Our return to the world of the living wasn't really just a coincidence.', Katerina said as she entered the car.

'Please, why don't you come up with a plan and let me in on it.'

'I just might do that.', she smiled at him

...

Lying asleep in her bed, Cecily awaited her dreams, actually she waited for her dream man. She never knew what his name was, but he always called her Caroline. He appeared on her 17th birthday and he seemed like the perfect man. As on cue, she heard him behind her.

'Caroline, you came back to me.'
