Here is the forth chapter. If there are mistakes, I apologize for them. English is not my native language...


I was starring at my mirror, studying my reflection carefully. I was wearing a simple black dress. My make up wasn't something special. I had applied black eye liner, mascara and red lipstick. As I said it wasn't special, but I looked dangerous with it. The last thing I needed was shoes. I had plenty of them, but I decided to wear my favorite red Prada shoes. I smirked at my reflection...I looked perfect in black with my blonde hair and white skin. I looked at the watch, it showed 19:30. I dialed Elena's number. It took only one ring.

"Hello?" "Hey, Elena, it is me Katelyn"

"Oh...Are you ready?"

"Yes. I will wait for you at the Grill, OK?"

"Yeah it is perfect. I will be there at 10 minutes."

"See you then..." "Bye."

I hung up. I looked at my reflection for a last time. I had a feeling that something is going to happen. I had to be very careful, because there was a great chance that Klaus be there. I perfectly knew that sooner or later I had to face him, but this wasn't the moment...

I walked into the Grill and saw Elena, waiting for me.

"You are early..."

"Yeah I decided to show up earlier to see if one of my friends is here, but he is not. By the way you look great." I smiled at the girl.

"It is nothing special...You don't look bad yourself!" We both burst in laugh. "So where is the party?"

"The Lockwood's are throwing the parties..." I stopped dead in my tracks. The name was familiar. Maybe I was going crazy first Salvatore, now Lockwood. There was something about this town that wasn't right...

"Katelyn, are you alright?" Elena concerned. "I'm fine. It is something I remembered, but it can wait...Let's go." We left the Grill. It was funny how different we were. She was with dark hair, wearing white dress. Elena looked as an angel. I was the opposite – with blond hair in black dress. I looked like a demon. In fact "looked" wasn't the right verb...I was demon.


The ride to the party was short...It was awfully small town. We spoke about random things. The girlie talk about boys, clothes, music, school. Elena want keen on talking about her boyfriend, she just told me that their relationship wasn't smooth. I hadn't gained her trust yet. We stopped in front of a big house...Great I couldn't pass without invitation. I had to find a way to get in without Elena being suspicious.

"So, here is the party..."

"Yes this is the Lockwood's property. They are the only one who have enough room to throw a party like this, maybe besides Stefan and Damon." I nodded.

"And Stefan and Damon are?" You know the proverb Curiosity killed the cat. Well, mine was going to kill me.

"Stefan is/ was my boyfriend. I am not so sure anymore. And Damon is his brother, he is...just Damon." I smiled...the name Damon was engraved on my bracelet, which I had whole my life. Weird enough, but the whole town was weird.

"Katelyn, let's go the party is in the backyard, we don't have to go inside..." I smirked I was lucky today. I had to hope not to bump into Klaus...

I liked the party, the music was good. Klaus wasn't there. Elena was telling me about the town and its history, when a blonde guy in his late twenties or early thirties approached us.

"Elena, I thought that you are coming with Caroline and Bonnie..." It was like this guy was a parent to her, but he was too young for that.

"I decided against it. I came with Katelyn..." Elena looked at me. The guy looked at me suspiciously. Everyone in this town was so suspicious...I had to gain his trust too.

"Hello, I am Katelyn Richards..."

"Alaric Saltzman, Elena's legal guardian and history teacher." That explained a lot.

"History was my favorite subject in school. I got the feeling that it is always repeating itself." Alaric gave me a strange look. "Is it that so?" I smiled.

"Well, it is my opinion but you are the historian and know better..." Alaric smirked.

"Miss Richards, you are right. The history repeats itself. In fact when I was looking through the journals of the finding families, there was mentioned a name – Katelyn Richards. This girl lived century and a half ago. And now in 2012 I am standing in front of Katelyn Richards, but a different one, right?" I didn't like what he was saying. It was like he was implying that I was the same girl.

"It is a weird coincidence..." Indeed it was... That girl lived at the same time, when I was changed. She lived here in Mystic Falls and Klaus found me close to it.

"Katelyn, you are alright?" I was snapped out of my thoughts. "I am OK, Alaric. It is pleasure meeting you. I will go to find Elena." I had to find more about Katelyn Richards from Mystic Falls. Was there a chance that Klaus was lying to me or him compelling me? I didn't know in what to believe. I saw Elena, talking to some black girl. I sensed the power radiating from her, she was a witch, a powerful one. The good news was that a witch cannot sense a vampire without physical touch. This town was full of supernatural beings...

"Hey, Elena, I think that I should go..." Elena's face fell.

"Katelyn, come on stay...How rude of me! Katelyn, this is my best friend Bonnie Bennett. Bonnie this is Katelyn Richards, she is new in town." So she was a Bennett witch. I had heard of them, they were amongst the most powerful lines of witches. Bonnie smiled at me, so I returned the smile.

"It is pleasure to meet you, Katelyn." She looked somewhere behind me. "But I have to go. See you around girls." Bonnie left in hurry. It was me and Elena again.

"You know, for a small town everyone is in a hurry or busy..." I smirked

"Not to mention the drama, going around here..." Elena laughed.


Caroline's POV

I watched how my best friends were talking to that vampire. I waved to Bonnie and fortunately she saw me. When she reached me, I hissed to her...

"Are you crazy?Do you know to whom, you were talking to?" She looked at me as if I was a psychopath.

"Yes...to Katelyn Richards. She is new here."

"And I am the blonde one in the gang! She is a vampire!"

"What?"

"I sensed her. She is a vampire, but I don't know how old. She is older than me for sure. Go get Alaric and then lure Elena and that vampire bitch to the parking lot. I will get Damon and Stefan."


Katelyn's POV

After a while I was Alaric and Bonnie, walking towards us. It looked as if they had been scheming. My senses were telling me to get out from here now. But I had to gain Elena's trust and the trust of the people around her. I smiled when Alaric and Bonnie approached us.

"Are you enjoying the party so far, Katelyn?" Bonnie asked me. There was something going on, but what?

"Yes. It is a great party." I replied politely.

"You don't lie, Katelyn. After the parties in New York this is like some formal dinner with your grandparents." Elena laughed.

"The parties in New York were wild. And where did they get me? So now I prefer parties like this." I smiled.

"Girls, I don't want to interrupt your talk...But I think it is better if we go." Alaric said. Concern crossed Elena's face.

"OK, Rick. But we have to drive Katelyn too. I was her ride to the party. So it won't be a problem, right?"

"Of course not." Alaric smiled. "Bonnie, are you coming?" Bonnie nodded. We walked in silence to the parking lot. Maybe I was paranoid. Nothing happened tonight. So my lucky day wasn't over, but I was very wrong...

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my head it was unbearable. I heard Elena shouting.

"Katelyn, what is happening?"

"She is a vampire!" shouted Alaric.

"Bonnie, stop! Let her explain!" I was crying at the pain. Then I felt how a stake went through my abdomen. I was going to die tonight...

"You are hurting her! If she wanted me dead, she would have killed me already!" Elena was shouting. I heard three vampires walking toward us. Everything was a blur. The one guy went to Elena and started to shout something to her.

"Elena! Stop! She might be one of the Klaus' minions!" The girl went to Bonnie and whispered something to her.

"I don't care Stefan!" Elena was shouting. "She was something normal! I felt what is to be normal again with her!"

The dark haired vampire was looking at me as if he saw a ghost. He was standing as if the time stopped. Alaric staked me again, I cried with pain.

"Tell me, for who are you working?" I laughed at him.

"I won't tell you, because you are going to kill me anyway...Right Alaric?"

Then something happened that surprise everyone. The dark haired vampire grabbed Alaric by the neck.

"Touch her again and I will kill you!" He hissed to the blonde man. His hiss sent shivers to my spine. Then he reached me. I was so dizzy that I couldn't stand on my legs. He caught me carefully. I looked at him, he was very handsome. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, I had ever seen. Something about this crystal eyes was so familiar...Something about him was familiar. He hugged me and whispered softly into my ear.

"Shh...It is OK, Kate..." I felt save in his arms. "No one is going to hurt you Kate." I felt even dizzier. He picked me in a bridal style...I wanted to say something, but the blackness took over me...
