~ Get ready for a long first Author's note as I reply to reviews left on the last chapter.

Happy Girl: I think Silas is jelly of Damon being around Dani. He's been locked in the cave for 2000 years and Dani has been able to explore the world and live. Silas doesn't know what Dani has really been up to in that time, for all he knows there could have been an actual relationship between Dani and Damon (even though there hasn't for this story.) And if you add to the fact that Dani would currently rather hang out with Damon than Silas makes him jealous.

Guest (1): I honestly haven't thought about if Dani likes Bad Boys or not... but because she's been trying to do good herself... she goes more for the good guys. The whole reason why she fell for Silas in the first place was because he was good and now he's not so good. If you add that to the fact that when he thought she was dead (before he was immortal) he ended up getting with Amara instead of seeing Dani as his one and only.

Anna.B: OMG, you reviewed! lol I honestly just thought you would review the other ones you've been reviewing of mine. I think this is the only story of mine that I can write on my Ipod during my breaks without screwing up what I want to happen in each chapter... lol. I was going to have a Silas/OC story but my idea was kind of ruined by them introducing Amara and that she was one of the Original doppelgangers, but then Dark G0dess gave me the idea for this story and I couldn't help but write it. I thought Paul was amazing as Silas, but I hoped Silas would have been in the show more... along with Amara just because I would have liked more scenes with them. (not to mention Nina had triple duty as Amara, Katherine, and Elena). I felt the same way about Silas and Stefan. Stefan without memories seemed more relaxed and funnier. I'm going to figure out a way to keep Silas, Amara, and Tessa in this story just because of how I want to have in the story and what I've already written. I didn't exactly like Tessa, but she was a good character. The whole Dani/Silas relationship semi-reminds me of Katherine/Damon from season 1 and the beginning of season 2. Dani saw Silas as the one... even when he had chosen Amara (which the story will go more into that). With ideas that Dark G0dess and I have been talking about in messages, Silas will go towards Dani even though the things that will happen. Dani and Silas were each other's first and Silas will do almost anything to get her back... even if a 2000 year old witch tries to get in between them *hint, hint*. There will be scenes with Elena in this chapter and in the next few chapters, but I don't really see them as friends (with what I already wrote). Chapter 8 actually starts some nice Stefan/Dani moments that will play an importance later in the story and what Silas does towards Dani. It will always be platonic with Damon and Dani, but Silas and Elena don't know that... which will add to some drama later on in the story. Silas doesn't know what Dani has been doing over the past 2000 years, so it naturally makes him curious to find out what she's been up to. I think Dani will fit in to a point, considering the whole town is basically filled with supernatural people and she is one of the first supernatural people (that are immortal). I think Dani's close friend is Damon, considering that they have a past and maybe Stefan (which could morph into something else) because of something that will happen to the both of them. At the point I'm on, I don't know Dani will be with... but I'm semi-leaning towards Silas.

WickedKing567: The only reasons that Bonnie became the anchor was because Tessa wanted Amara to die and Bonnie was a ghost. Tessa did the anchor transfer to keep the other side in place and screw around with Silas. There are some things that have to happen before I even really think about if Dani will be with either Silas or Stefan (even though Silas won't stop until he is with Dani). Dani won't have much of a choice when it comes being involved with the drama, but no matter what happens, she will try and be loyal to herself and help her friends. I already have two Stefan/Dani moments written (with more to come). Tessa is going to eventually screw around with Dani and Silas's love life considering how she acts in the show. Dani and Damon are and will be close friends, unless something bad happens that he can't see past. I like Katherine more than Elena, but they're both going to be in it. Elena will eventually see Dani and Silas together, but not how you'd think (because of something that happens in the story). Elena and Dani won't exactly be friends... which you will sort of see in this chapter. If Dani and Silas end up together, it'll all depend on how much Tessa gets between them and if they can find their way back to each other.

ENJOY!

General POV

A young Danielle ran through the field of flowers, chasing after her best friend Amara.
"You can't catch me." Amara sang teasingly to Danielle.
"Yes I can." Danielle ran a little faster and grabbed Amara's shoulders. "I win." The young Dani said with a smile, which was reflected on the Amara's face.
"How do you always catch me Elle?" Amara asked Danielle.
"Because I always catch Silas when I chase him."
"He lets you catch him because he loves you."
"No he doesn't." Danielle said as she blushed.
"Yes he does." Amara said with a giant smile. "Just ask him."
"Ask who?" The girls turned around to see a young Silas standing behind them with a rose in his hand.
"No one." Danielle quickly said, even though she started to think about asking him. "That's a pretty flower."
"It's for you." Silas said as he slipped the flower in Danielle's hair. He brushed some of her hair behind her ear and their eyes lingered on each other.
"Elle's having a birthday party tomorrow." Amara said, trying to get her best friend together with Silas. "You can come."
"I'll be there." Silas said to Danielle, still not taking his eyes off of her. She just gave him a small smile before he walked away and left the two girls alone.

Danielle's POV

I laid sleeping on a couch in Damon's house. My eyes stayed closed as I thought about the dream I had. 'One of the happier times' I thought, knowing that it wouldn't be like that again.
"Danielle?" I heard a familiar voice ask. "What are you doing here?" I opened my eyes to see Katherine standing near the couch.
"Katerina?" I asked because I was still tired. I couldn't help but look into her mind to realize that it was her. "Long time since Chicago."
"What are you doing here?" She asked again.
"I don't know." I answered with a yawn. "I got drunk last night and wanted to crash somewhere where Silas wouldn't expect me to go." Katherine opened her mouth to say something, but then looked behind the couch.
"Who's that?" I heard the voice again. 'Not another one' I thought before looking behind me.
"Great, this place is filled with doppelgängers." I murmured to myself. "My name's Danielle. I'm sure Damon might have mentioned me." I gave her a smile, knowing that she was Elena just by Katherine's thoughts. Elena looked a little jealous and hurt, but I didn't say that there was nothing between me and Damon.
"Dani." Damon said with some surprise when he saw me by Katherine. "What are you doing here?"
"Isn't super hearing one of the things that came with the upgrade?" I asked, using some of the words from his one conversation with Silas. "I wanted to be somewhere away from him after yesterday." I said after picking up a brief thought about Silas. "I'll go unless you want me here." I glanced at Elena, who looked jealous. "I am after all the only person that can match Silas's power."
"How do you know Silas?" Elena asked.
"Long story, wait for the e-book." I said before slowly standing up from the couch. "Can I borrow some of your clothes?" I asked Katherine. Her style wasn't exactly mine, but I did wear her style during the 1980's. "Or I could walk around naked and give Damon something new to look at." I looked at Damon with a smirk. "Fine, I won't." I easily picked up on Elena's thoughts about not wanting me around naked. Elena looked confused, but I didn't want to tell her I had the same powers as Silas unless she needed to know. I turned to Damon, who was still looking at me. He was thinking about Katherine and Elena having the same dream about Stefan. I just gave him a small nod to let him know I would help them before walking around them so I could use one of the showers.

I sat in the back seat of Damon's car, next to Katherine. Elena was in the front passenger seat, next to Damon. I moved my head from looking out the window to looking at Katherine. It was clear to anyone that she was bored.
"You sure you know what you're looking for?" Damon asked and I knew he was talking to Elena. "Last bar had a red awning and a neon sign."
"I'll know when I see it." Elena said and I couldn't help but think of Amara. I knew that her doubles were different than her, but they still looked and sounded the same.
"Me, too." Katherine and I said at the same time as she moved her head to the front. I could pick out the images of their dreams from Elena and Katherine's mind. I didn't really want to, but I was bored and I knew it would help find Stefan quicker.
"Didn't ask you." Damon said to Katherine.
"How do you even know what we're looking for?" Elena asked me after Katherine leaned back in the back seat.
"You two can't stop thinking about the dream." I said as I looked between Elena and Katherine. "It's all over your mind, covering almost all your other thoughts like a blanket." Elena looked at me through the sideview mirror. "Katherine is also thinking about when she'll be able to go to the bathroom."
"I told you not to do that." Katherine said to me, which made me look at her.
"Well... you knew it wouldn't stop me." I gave her a smirk and she gave me one back. "Besides, how do you expect me to stay strong if I don't practice?"
"So, Elena, I couldn't help but overhear." Katherine said to Elena after a few minutes. Instead of saying anything, I just went back to looking out the window. "You've been dreaming about Stefan all summer? That must be really stressful on a new relationship, especially when you're having those kinds of dreams lying in bed next to his brother."
"They weren't dreams. It was just a bad feeling, like something wasn't right with him." Elena answered Katherine.
"Oh, no, yeah, sure. I totally get it. There's still a connection between you two. Maybe deep down you know that he was your one true love and breaking up with him was a big mistake." Katherine said and I rolled my eyes.
"Love sucks." I said loud enough for everyone to hear.
"I thought you were looking for your boyfriend." Damon said as he glanced at me using the mirror.
"Well I found him, but he's being a dick so I'm staying away from him." I closed my eyes and I couldn't help but think of how sweet and nice Silas used to be. "After how long I've searched for him, it's just a disappointment." I let out a sigh. Damon started to say something to Elena, but I ignored them. It wasn't that interesting to me that Elena didn't like Katherine and she was worried about Stefan. I got it, but I saw it as she was worried about the person that was her ex and not the person who was her boyfriend's brother. I was sort of worried about Stefan, but that's because he was my friends brother and not an ex. When they were done talking, I closed my eyes and tried to take my mind off of things.

~ Chapter 7 (the next chapter) is currently the longest chapter for this story with close to 3000 words. It doesn't have many scenes in it, but what I have in it will set up a plot point of the story that will bring lots of drama with the whole Silas/Dani/Stefan point of the story. It was brought up by the person who gave me the idea for the story Dark G0dess. (:
~ It also starts the chapters that I've actually made names for... and hopefully I can makeup names for the chapters that don't have any names.

~ I'd like to hear your thoughts on what will happen in the next few chapters. Your ideas will come in handy as I continue to write the story.
~ I'm not going to post chapter 7 until: there are at least 3 helpful/constructive reviews, I'm done writing chapter 9, and I have posted chapter 2 to Down The Rabbit Hole.

~ Hopefully the reviews will come quicker with this chapter and give me some ideas to put in the future of the story. (Including on how to keep Silas, Tessa and possibly Amara alive while still having TVD season 5 events in it). And don't forget to share ideas for chapter titles! (:

R&R 'till the next update
