Me: O.o *being thrown and locked into a wine cellar.

Damon: Enjoy this.

Felicia's POV

I couldn't believe it! I thought that Katherine was my mother! I felt so stupid! But then again, they look the same – they could be twins! My father and uncle had talked to me about her and had said that it was a mystery why my mom and her look the same. From what they had told me, I knew there was nothing else alike.

"Long time no see Damon," Katherine purred, looking at him through her eyelashes. Was she flirting with him or what? I knew the full story. She abandoned both my dad and uncle, so why is she back?

"Too bad it wasn't long enough," Dad said between his teeth. He was obviously not happy to see her.

"Awww, don't be like that. I came back for you," at those words, my dad froze. I looked at him with a worried face. Worried he was going to go back to her, but after a second his face turned back to normal – but with a hint of anger.

"You left me for more than a century, andyou weren't in the tomb so you knew where to find me. I don't care about you anymore. At all. In any way. You can just leave now and play your fucking games with someone else," he said, glaring at her, but she just smirked even more. Then, she looked at me, like she just noticed me for the first time.

"You have a daughter. How did you do it? I thought vampires couldn't have children?" she said calmly, with a hint of genuine curiosity.

"I don't know," he said, still glaring. Then, Katherine decided to see me closer, but my dad was fast to react and placed himself in front of me, his back to me. He growled, sending the message to not come near me. Katherine never stopped smiling, but she did, however, stop moving.

"By her appearance, I can tell my doppelganger is the mother, am I right?" She asked, still looking at me.

"That's none of your business. Why are you here in the first place?" Dad asked, his tone harsh.

"Like I said, I came back for you. I know I have been gone for a long time, but I had things to deal with," she replied, looking seductively at him.

"Where are Elena and Bonnie?" he asked her, ignoring her attempts to seduce him.

"Somewhere," she smirked.

"Where?" My father growled.

"You'll know when the time comes," she replied in a sarcastic tone.

"You know the boy…Nic?" he asked.

"Yes, my little protégé…if I can call him that. His role was to distract you long enough for my plan to be executed," She answered. "But he failed miserably."

"Bitch," my father muttered between his teeth.

"Ouch," Katherine said, placing a hand over her heart and faking to be hurt.

"But, I still have Emily on my side," she said with pride.

"Emily? She's long dead… unless… unless you turned her," Dad said, surprised by what he heard.

"Oh, no, I didn't turn her. I found one of her descendants. All she had to do was take control of the body and do her magic," She explained. "Bonnie won't be able to surpass the powers of Emily, so she's useless to you. Oh, I have to say goodbye… for now."

Giving him another seductive look, she suddenly left. Then, out of nowhere, Anika and Stefan came back. That's why Katherine left, she was outnumbered.

"We haven't found them," Stefan said with worry.

"We looked everywhere, nothing," Anika gave us an apologetic smile.

"Damon, what's going on?" Stefan asked, noticing my father's angry face.

"Katherine," he muttered, his eyes hard.

"What? She's back?" Stefan was astonished.

"Yeah, she has Mom and Bonnie," I said, my voice weak from the emotion. I didn't want anything to happen to them.

"It's gonna be okay, we'll find them," Dad held me protectively in his arms. His voice was still rough. I nodded and closed my eyes, trying to convince myself that it'll be alright, but I couldn't.

Damon's POV

I would never have thought she'd come back. Long ago, I wished she had, but now I don't give a shit. She's a selfish bitch and I'm glad to not have feelings for her anymore. Katherine turned me into a heart broken guy, but Elena saved me, and for that and many other things, I love her. She's my everything along with Felicia. Wait! That sounded too much like Stefan. Oh well…

"Do you have a plan?" Stefan asked me, interrupting my train of thoughts. Anika wasn't there, she went hunting. Stefan managed to convince her into drinking animal blood…the fauna in Mystic Falls would be gone within a year with those two.

"No," I replied, angry with my own answer. I wish there was something I could do.

"Why is she back?" He asked me.

"She said she's back for me, but I don't believe her anymore… plus, I don't care about her, she's dead to me," I replied in a harsh tone. Stefan seemed a little bit saddened by my answer.

"What's that look on your face? You still love her or what?" I asked, almost growling.

"No! No way. She's just manipulated us. She's nothing but a liar. Besides, I love Anika," He replied. Satisfied by his answer, I calmed down.

"Hey Dad, I found this in the hall" Felicia said, holding an old book. She handed it to me and I opened it, looking to know what it was about.

"It's a witch book," I said, turning the pages. "In the hall you said?" She nodded and I got up. I went to the hall, Stefan and Felicia following me.

"It was there," she said, pointing the floor. I frowned. Why was there a witch book on the floor, we never had a witch book… we wouldn't be able to use it anyway.

"Weird," I said, still frowning.

"Why would that be here," Stefan asked himself. Then, we heard the front door opened.

"Elena?" I whispered then rushed to the front door. I was right, she was there with Bonnie. I went to her and held her tightly in my arms.

"What happened?" I asked her, worried.

"What are you talking about? Nothing happened. We went to Bonnie's place and she realised that there was a specific item that she needed. We went outside town to get it because we couldn't find it here," She explained.

"You wanted a barrier for the house, well, I found a spell, but I needed this," she said, showing me a bottle of some kind of herb. I nodded, relieved.

"Why do you think something happened?" Elena asked me. I took a breath.

"Katherine was here earlier. She told us that she had the two of you," I replied.

"She was here? Why" Elena replied.

"She… said that… she came back… for me," I said, slowly. Elena's eyes grew wide and I could tell she was hurt with what I just said. "She tried manipulating me, back to her old games. But I didn't give in."

Elena looked like she didn't believe me. She stood staring around the room, resting her gaze on different objects. I knew this meant that she felt insecure about me.

"You don't even have to worry about it, she's nothing to me anymore," I said, pulling her into my arms and kissing her temple. I saw that same sad look on Stefan's face, he was disappointed, I could tell.

"Hey, sorry it took so long. Squirrels are hard to find," Anika giggled, entering the house and hugged Stefan. He hugged her back, but the emotion wasn't there. I decided to forget about brooding Stefan and concentrate on Elena.

"You could have called. We were worried about you two. Stefan and Anika were looking for you," I said softly.

"My cell was dead, I promise to charge it next time I go out," she said, trying to smile. She turned to Felicia, who was frowning.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Elena asked.

"There's a weird scent… something like spices. Am I the only one to smell it?" she replied. We all sniffed the air and she was right.

"Did someone cook something?" Elena asked, looking at all of us. Everyone shook their heads.

"Then, why does it smell?" Felicia asked.

"I don't know," I replied. "Maybe it's just the ventilation, I'll look at it later."

"Oh, Bonnie. I found this book in the hall, it's a witch book. I don't know why it was there. Could it be yours?" Felicia told Bonnie, showing the book I had in my hands. She motioned for me to give it to her. She looked at it and frowned.

"No, I've never seen it before," she flicked through the book, giving it a quick skim-read. "Well, there's some interesting spells in it. Can I keep it?" She asked.

"Yeah, I don't think we could use it anyway," I said. She excused herself; she wanted to see what the book could teach her. I just hoped she won't blow the house… or worse.

Elena's POV

"So Katherine was the woman in Bonnie's vision?" I asked. Damon nodded. He had told me everything he learned. "And the witch, is there really one?"

"Yup, it's Emily through the body of one of her descendant… creepy," he answered, whispering the last word.

"Emily? Bonnie's ancestor? Why would she do that? Doesn't she know Bonnie is helping us? Shouldn't she help us instead of helping Katherine's evil plan become reality?" I said, a little angry.

"She was Katherine's servant and maybe friend… I don't have the details of their friendship, but I know she was doing all she could to favour Katherine," Stefan replied for me. He was looking outside, like he was searching something. Probably Anika, she went to hunt - again. I don't know why they weren't going together, as a couple.

"Why aren't you hunting with her?" I asked him. He turned to me.

"Well, our hunting trips don't always go as planned," he smiled a little bit.

"Okay, okay! We've heard enough brother. There's scary images going through my head right now," Damon said. Stefan rolled his eyes.

"Okay, what should we do about Katherine?" I asked.

"Drive a stake through her bitchy heart of course!" Damon replied, acting the scene of staking himself as an example then making a dead face with the tongue going out of his mouth. It was pretty funny, but I noticed Stefan was not sharing our fun.

"Stefan, are you alright?" I asked, looking at him with concern. He looked at me like he just came back to reality.

"Oh, yeah, I just need to go feed. I'll be back in a few hours," he said, leaving the room.

I looked at Damon with a questioning look. He shrugged.

"He's just being Mr. Broody again," Damon grinned.

Felicia's POV

I was bored. My parents and Stefan were talking about what happened, Bonnie was having fun with her spell book and I have been told to not leave the house for my own security. I didn't know what to do, but then, something popped in my head…Nic. I wanted to go see him, to see if he would say what he is hiding… well, is forced to hide. I descend the stairs leading to the basement and got closer to the door.

"Why, why me… I never… wanted this," I heard him whisper to himself. He didn't seem to notice me.

"This… is torture… pain… what I would… do for a… for some… blood," he continued on and on, until I spoke.

"Nic, tell me. Were you forced to do it? Did you want it?" I asked. Noticing me, he glared up at me.

"Why do you do this to me? This pain, this hunger…" he growled.

"Nic, I did nothing, Nic, it's me, Felicia," I said. His eyes changed, they held calm and… joy?

"Feli…cia, I can't… endure it anymore. There's a witch… she's making me do things… she's too strong," he said, his eyes showing pain.

"It's Emily, right?" I asked him even though I knew the answer. His eyes lit up.

"You… know her?" I nodded.

"She's Katherine's witch," I stated. He nodded to confirm me.

"What does Katherine want?" I asked.

"I don't… know…" he replied.

"So, as I understand things…you faked to fall in love with me to fulfil this… assignment," I said, feeling a deep pain in my chest. I did love him… but it was all lies.

"At first, yes… but you managed to… charm me. Even if I done some bad things… I love you… Felicia," he said. I froze. Could I trust him? After everything he did? Looking into his eyes, I knew the answer. Yes.

"I love you too Nic," I said with almost watering eyes. "I'll ask Bonnie if she can lift Emily's spell, or curse of whatever it is, off of you."

"She's too strong," he said, looking away. "You'd better… go upstairs before your father… notices that you've come down here."

I nodded and went upstairs, only to be met with the disapproval look in my father's eyes. His arms were crossed over his chest. I was in trouble, that was for sure.

Bonnie's POV

This book is amazing, there's so many spell. Maybe one will help us with getting rid of Katherine. I kept reading for hours until I fell asleep. I started to dream, but it wasn't a normal dream…

Where am I? It's dark, I can't see anything! I hear voices, but I can't see who's are talking. One of the voice is growing closer and louder than the others. I start to see something, a shadow. It's coming near me. My heart beats faster and faster, I can feel the power coming from it, it's too strong for me! I close my eyes, wishing to wake up as the figure comes closer and close. I know it's a dream, but normally, I can wake up from a nightmare when I want, but this time I can't.

"Bonnie. Bonnie, open your eyes my child."

I do as the voice said.

"E-Emily" I gasped, my eyes wide.

"Yes," she said with a warm smile. I start to panic, she was working with Katherine, she was stronger than me.

"Don't be scared of me, my child," she said, her voice soft.

"B-but, you're working for Katherine…" I said, my voice shaking. She looked at me sadly.

"I know, but it was the only way," she said, her head facing the ground.

"The only way for what?" I asked, curious.

"To protect my family. She said that she wouldn't feed or kill my brothers and sisters. She would spare my parents and my descendant," she explained.

"But, you are strong, you could have killed her," I said, wondering why she hadn't..

"I can't kill her. When I was only seven years old, she found me and knew I was special. She decided to take me with her. Back then, I was only at the beginning of my experiments. We made a blood pact, those pacts can't be broken," she explained.

"That's horrible," I gasped. "You were only a child!"

"Yes. I can't kill her, but you and your friends can. The book you were reading. The book the vampire's child found, it will help you," she said.

"Wait, you put the book in the Boarding house…you're the one who did it? And the weird scent they smelled, was it also you?" I asked, surprised.

"Yes, in my spells I often use some herbs and spices. In this spell book, you will find spells that will be of great help to protect you and your friends from Katherine," she smiled.

"Thanks. But, you were also the one controlling the boy. Am I right?" I asked. She looked at me with sad eyes and guilt.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all this. Katherine wanted proof of my loyalty, to make her believe that I will help her with her plan… that way, I can be aware of what she's planning and let you know," she said, really ashamed of what she done to me and everyone else.

"I understand, I forgive you. But can I ask you for a favour?" I asked.

"Anything you want my child," she said, looking at me.

"Could you cancel the spell on Nic? After all, he's just an innocent boy. And if Katherine asks you about it, you just have to say that I broke it," I said, hoping she would agree. She nodded.

"Of course, my child. Oh, and before I forget. If you see a child around twelve years old with Katherine, it's me… in the body of one of my descendant. When all of this will be over, I will leave the body. So don't attack her. But in the meantime, if something is new with her plan, I'll let you know through a dream… it's the only way we can safely talk without her knowing," she warned me. I felt a shiver go up my spine but I nodded.

"It's time for me to go and for you to wake up. Be careful my child," she said, disappearing.

Instantly, I woke up. I knew this dream was real.I'll have to tell everyone about it. Holding the book against my chest, I knew we could do it, I knew I had the power to do it.

Damon's POV

"I thought I asked you to not go downstairs alone," I scolded Felicia.

"Dad, I was fine! He wouldn't hurt me. Besides, he's trapped in a cell full of vervain," she argued.

"Who knows what he can do. He's under the spell of a witch… under Emily's spell, Bonnie won't be able to break it this soon. So don't underestimate him," I said. I hated to scold my little girl, but sometimes I just had to.

"He won't be a problem for long, the spell will be broken soon," Bonnie said, entering the kitchen. "So you won't have to play the over protective father for too long."

"I'm not over protective" I mumbled. I knew that she didn't believe me, 'cause I know I am. "And how can you know the spell will be broken soon?"

"Because Emily told me so," she replied. I was on alert. Emily? Here? Bonnie knew what I was thinking.

"No, she's not here. She was in my dream… well, it was some kind of a spiritual meeting," she explained. "We talked about the situation and about Katherine."

She explained everything that happened in her 'dream'.

"She's more a bitch than I thought," I said. Kidnapping a seven years old kid and make her your servant… pfft. Both Bonnie and Felicia nodded in agreement.

"Anyone seen Stefan by the way? Maybe he should be aware of it too," Elena said. She joined us at the beginning of Bonnie's explanation about Emily. I nodded.

"I'll go get him," I said, leaving the room. I went to his room and knocked. No answer. I opened the door… it was dark, but I could clearly see a body on the floor. I came closer, only to see the dead body of Anika with a stake in her heart… by the look of her skin, I knew she was really dead. I was shocked to see that. Then, something caught my attention. A piece of paper on Stefan's desk…a photo…1864, Katherine Pierce. I immediately understood…

"Oh God, he didn't…"

Me: Hehehe, saint Stefan is starting to look like Evil Stefan.

Damon: How did you get out? O.o

Me: Yeah, you're right! How did I get out? O.O
