Bonnie:
I was sitting in my room looking threw my grandmother's Gilmore when the doorbell rung. I sighed and went to go see who was at the door. It was Athena.
"Athena? What are you doing here?," I said.
"Bonnie, I need your help." Athena said.
"Come in, Athena."
She walked in.
"Now, how can I help you? What is it?"
"I just found out that I was adopted and that I came from a family of witches and vampire hunters. I guess I can train myself with the vampire hunting but I need your help with the witch training. You know? Since you are a witch and all."
"How do you know what I am?"
"My father left me a letter explaining some...things and he said that you was a witch. And that pretty much your whole family are witches."
I laughed. "Not my whole family."
"Oh. But can you help me?" She said as she reached in her duffle bag ( that I just noticed ) and took out a Gilmore. "This is - was my mom's. My real mom."
"Athena, I don't know about this."
"Please Bonnie. Who helped you? I know someone helped you."
"My grandmother did before she died."
"I'm so sorry Bonnie. But please help me. I'm so clueless and confused."
"Okay, if I agree to help you will you promise to stay away from Caroline. That's my best friend and I hate to see her or anyone else to get hurt."
"Sure. Okay. Done."
I smiled and said, "Okay well I for one have school tomorrow but I promise that I'll help you after school."
"Okay. And thank you so much!" Athena said squeezing before picking up her bag and running out of the house.
I laughed, rolled my eyes and went back to my room
Athena:
I walked away from Bonnie's happy. She was going to help! But it's said that she lost her grandmother. At least we had something in common. We both lost someone that we truly loved.
I walked home and went in the house. I was about to go upstairs when I heard voices. I walked into the front room and saw Damon, Elena and Stefan sitting down talking. Damon and Stefan - being vampires heard me coming and was looking at me.
I dropped my bag and turned around to run but Damon was standing right there. "Don't you dare try to run. We need to talk." He said to me.
"Talk about what? There's nothing to talk about." I said.
"Please, Athena." I heard Elena say.
"No!" I screamed and pushed Damon into a wall and tried to run up to my room but Damon was standing in front of me blocking my way. "Move, Damon."
"No!" Damon said mocking me.
I just frowned at him.
"Come on." He said grabbing my arm pulling me towards the front room. I didn't protest this time. I just let him take me.
I sat down and started to think. Was I overreacting. No. And even so I had a right to. I just found out that I was adopted and that the family that I thought was my family isn't. And then I found out that I'm a witch and a vampire hunter. Why couldn't I be normal? And then it gets worst. I'm part of this evil prophecy to end the world.
"Athena," Stefan said, "you're overreacting."
I said nothing. I just turned my head away from all of them.
"They told me everything, 'Thena." Elena said, "I didn't believe it at first. But then Damon drank a blood bag in front of me." She finished making a disgusted face.
I shrugged my shoulders.
"Damn it! You better talk to us or I'm going to rip your head off." Damon screamed at me.
I rolled my eyes, "I like to see you try. Play with me if you want to and you'll end up dead. And I mean that, Damon. Remember that warning I gave ya'll earlier? I meant every single word. Oh, but maybe you forgot. Do you need a repeat?" I said looking and speaking to Damon directly.
"I'm not scared of you, Athena. Or any one for that matter." He said smirking.
I returned his smirk, "Good, because I didn't ask you to be scared of me. And it's okay you not being scared of me is going to make kicking your ass so much fun."
"What makes you think you could beat me?"
"I know for a fact."
"Oh really?"
"Really."
He smirked again, "We'll see."
"Oh, yes we will." I said giving him a playful glare.
"Okay, you guys. Enough with the flirty slash threatening comments and let's get down to business." Stefan cut in.
I tore my eyes away from Damon's. "What do ya'll want to know?"
"Wait! Athena, before we start, I just want to let you know I - we went snooping before you came back." Elena said.
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
None of them said anything. Elena just pulled out an envelope and out it on the coffee table. I stared at the envelope in disbelief. They went in my room and looked for the letter my father wrote me!
"Why didn't you tell us that you was part of this prophecy? We knew about it already but we just didn't know who was supposed to destroy the world." Damon said.
I just stood up shaking my head in anger. "I can't believe that ya'll went through my stuff! You'll pay for that." I said walking away hoping that they won't come after me. But of course Damon did.
"Where do you think you're going?" Damon snapped at me.
"I'm going in my room to be alone." I said as I tried to walk around him.
"I don't think so."
"Why? Why can't I be alone? Please Damon."
He shook his head.
"He's right, Athena. Now we figured out what Klaus wants with you." Stefan said.
"Who's Klaus?" Me and Elena asked at the same time.
"Klaus is an original."
"What's an original?" Elena asked.
"An original is an vampire that was first made. They didn't need to drink another vampire's blood because they were an vampire already." Damon said.
Elena and I just nodded.
"Now, we need to protect both of you." Stefan said.
I rolled my eyes.
"What do you mean?" Elena asked.
"Klaus wants to sacrifice you in a ritual." Damon said with a roll of his eyes.
Oh god, I thought, those beautiful blue eyes.
I shook those thoughts out of my head because I wasn't allowed to think like that. It was plain and simple. I was the hunter and he was the prey.
"I'll kill him before he gets anywhere near Elena or me." I said confident.
"You can't kill an original." Stefan said.
I rolled my eyes and scoffed before walking away grabbing Damon hand pulling him upstairs with me.
When we got upstairs and in my room I closed the door and locked it. Damon was sitting on my bed playing with my teddy bear that I got when I turned eleven. It was small. Blue and only had white on its feet and ears. And on its small neck it had a red ribbon on it. It is my favorite thing in the world.
"Wow I didn't know that you still played with dolls." Damon said.
I glared at him before snatching Brandy ( that's her name ) out of Damon hands. "I don't play with her. I just sleep with her or hold her when I'm sad or confused or need comfort."
"Sure. If you say so."
"I do say so." I said as I put Brandy down and pushed Damon flat on the bed and climbed on top of him, kissing his neck.
Damon:
Me a Athena lay in her bed. It was around 5 o'clock when she stirred and then suddenly woke up and ran into the bathroom, closing the door. Locking it. I tried to open it and break it down but I guess she spelled it.
"Athena?" I asked knocking on the door.
"Leave me alone, Damon. I'm fine. Okay?" Athena said.
"No. Please let me in."
"No, Damon. I'm sorry for waking you up. Go back to sleep. I'm okay I promise."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Damon."
I just nodded and went back to the bed at sat down waiting for Athena to come out the bathroom. After about ten minutes Athena came out the bathroom. I sighed in relief.
I didn't know what is was about this girl but I felt as if I needed her. But wait, feelings are for Stefan. I do what I please. I don't think about the consequences. I'm Damon Salvatore. I was only here to get Katherine out the tomb. And now that I knew that Athena was a witch I could use her to open the tomb.
"You okay?" I asked her as she sat on the bed and grabbed Brandy.
She nodded.
"Look, I know that you just realized that you're a witch but can you help me with something?"
She shrugged her shoulders, half asleep.
"I need you to open something."
She yawed, "Open what?"
"A tomb."
She slowly turned her head to me. "When?"
"Tomorrow."
She sighed and laid down, "Whatever."
Before I had time to reply she fell asleep. I just smirked and leaned on her headboard. Even though I was finally getting Katherine out the tomb I couldn't help but feel sad because I was going to hurt Athena.
But why should I care, I thought, she's just another human that I had to deal with to get what I wanted. And now I'm getting what I want. She's not important. I don't care about her. Only Katherine...
And with that I went to sleep.
Athena:
I was standing in a wide open felid. It had tall grass that came up to my knees. Surrounding me were thousands of beautiful flowers. Red, blue, yellow, orange. white and so much more. The clouds were a bright white and the sky was as bright as ever. It felt as if nothing can ruin this beautiful place. Animals. They were everywhere. Deers, antelopes, rabbits, bears. Mothers, fathers, cubs. Birds were flying around. Chirping.
Then all of a sudden I seen a flash of lightning and all I hear is thunder. I looked up to the sky to see that now it was dark and looked as if it was going to rain. The animals disappeared. The flowers died. The grass died. I heard footsteps and turned around. There standing right behind me was a man. He had light brown hair and blue eyes.
"Hello, Athena." The man said.
"Who are you? And how do you know my name?" I said.
"Klaus. And I know everything." He said walking towards me till we were actually face to face. Almost touching.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I just want the prophecy to come true. I want you to do what you was born to do."
"No. I won't do it." I said through clenched teeth.
"Oh, but you will my dear." He paused and lifted his hand to my cheek. Rubbing circles on my cheek with his thumb. "Because if you don't I'll kill everyone you care about."
"You wouldn't dear." I said smacking his hand away.
"Yes, I would."
I made a growling noise in the back of my throat.
"See. I'm already waking the monster inside of you. It's only a matter of time."
Again I growled.
"First, I'll break the curse. But I'm going to need your sister for that. Ah, Elena's such a beauty. Too bad she needs to die."
"Why Elena?"
"Because she's Katherine doppelganger I need the doppelganger in order for the sacrifice to work. And...others."
"Whatever. My sister is not going to die! I'll kill you before you kill her."
"We'll see about that. You have a lot of Power in you but that doesn't mean that you have the Power to kill me. I'm an Original, you silly little girl. And besides we both know that she's not your real sister. So why would you want to risk your life to save her pathetic life."
"That's my sister no matter what. But how did you know?"
"I've been watching you since the day you was born. And I did it."
"Did what?"
"You know what."
I turned my head away from him, thinking. Then all of a sudden it snapped. "You killed my parents!"
"Correction: adoption parents. And yes, I did. They were in my way."
"You'll pay for what you've done." I snapped at him.
"Like I said before; you have a lot of Power in you but that doesn't mean that you'll be able to kill me. Silly little girl."
"We'll see about that."
"Whatever, child. But, why do you waste your time with that fool of a vampire? Don't you know that he's just using you? And it's a shame because you're pregnant with his child." He paused and shook his head, "Go ahead and be a fool - be like him - open that tomb."
I shook my head, "What are you talking about? And what's in the tomb?" I asked.
"Vampires, that's what's in the tomb. He's looking for Katherine. His ex girlfriend. He's been looking for her for years." He shook his head, once more, "But anyway, vampires think that it's highly impossible to get a human pregnant. It's not. For a fact, it only happens every so and so years. It just happens that you and Damon had sex the day. You're four weeks pregnant. It's a shame, you know? Because the babies might not live since I'm going to need you soon. And because you're pregnant by a man that can care less about you."
I felt tears on my face and quickly wiped them away, "What do you mean by babies?"
"Twins. You're having twins."
"How do you know all of this about me?"
"Before a person is born their whole life is written down. Planned. You know that saying 'Everything happens for a reason'? Yes? Well it's true."
"I can't believe this shit."
He wagged his finger at me, "Ah, ah. Watch your language."
I made that growling noise in the back of my throat, "I do what I want."
He chuckled. "Well this was an interesting conversation. Nice talking to you, Athena. And maybe next time we could talk face to face. Not in your dreams."
I said nothing.
"Good bye - for now." Was the last thing he said before disappearing.
I woke to the sun shining down on my face. I frowned. I turned around to see that Damon was still there. Laying in my bed. Sleeping. At that very second I remembered my whole dream.
Klaus words was all I could hear. Don't you know he's using you? You're pregnant by a man that can care less about you.
At that moment I wanted to do nothing more than kill Damon. But I refused that urge. I sat up in bed and looked down at my stomach. Four weeks pregnant? I couldn't be. But I was... Or maybe he lied. I hope he did.
I turned my head to see Damon stir before his eyes fluttered and before he opened them completely. I sighed and turned my back on him.
"Something wrong?" Damon asked.
I shook my head, "No, Damon."
"You sure?"
"Stop acting like you care."
"I do care."
I rolled my eyes. "What time do you want me to open the tomb?"
"Are you sure you can do it? I mean like you just found out that you're a witch and a vampire hunter. And I know that you had a lot on your mind so I don't know if you looked at you mother Gilmore."
Again, I rolled my eyes. "I looked thru the Gilmore, Damon. I know a lot of spells. Okay? I know what I need to do."
"Um.. Okay."
"Okay so this the plan. You go the Boarding House and get dressed and feed or whatever else you got to do and while you're doing that I'll be getting ready myself. And then when I'm going to come over to the Boarding House and we'll go to the tomb from there. Okay?"
"Okay."
I faked a smile and got off the bed and walked to my closet, looking for something to wear. I then felt a breeze and turned to the bed to see Damon gone. I sighed in relief.
I walked over to my dresser and plugged my iPod into my stereo. I then chose the song I wanted to listen to. I chose So Gone by Monica and pressed play, making sure it was on repeat.
So gone over you, you, you, you
{Yeah}
{New Monica}
{Woo}
Silly of me
Devoted so much time
To find you unfaithful, boy
I nearly lost my mind

You make me {You make me feel}
Whoa and I love you to love you, baby, I {So unreal},

I asked myself over again

To make you stay out all night
And not think to call
What does she have over me
To make him not think to call home
{You make me feel}
You make me feel I'm so gone {So unreal}, oh...
You make me {You make me feel}
Whoa and I love you to love you, baby, I {So unreal},
ooh
I walked back to my closet and picked a dark blue bubble skirt that came to mid thigh, and a dark blue Hollister shirt that had the number 25 on it in pink. I think grabbed my blue sandals with pink in them. Even though it was the end of September I was still wearing summer clothes.
I rolled my eyes at myself and went to go take my shower.
Listen, boy, I'm a rowdy chick
Sometimes I have to fight ˜cause my mouth too slick
Baby, why you doing me like I ain't worth this s***
Make me wanna ride passed your house and sit
Kick down your doors and smack your chick
Just to show you Monica not having it
So in love with you like a drug habit get
{So gone} You treat me so unreal
What she do, I do better (Ooh...oh...)
What she do to make you love her (What did she do)
Is it real or forever
Baby, please can't we stay together (Is it real or

You make me {You make me feel}
Whoa and I love you to love you, baby, I {So unreal},
ooh
Said that I need you
I don't really need you
Said that I need you, ooh
I came out the bathroom fully dressed and looked in my full length mirror. I frowned at myself and shook my head. I didn't gain much weight but you can see that I'm getting bigger. My thighs were fatter and so was my stomach. But you can hardly tell unless you look real closely to my stomach.
I been acting like a pig since for weeks and now I know why. I was pregnant. I shook my head and grabbed my diary and pen before sitting on my bed. Listening to the song repeat itself. Being drowned in the music that I'm relating to me and Damon.
Dear Diary,
Long time no talk - writing. Anyway just the other day I found out that I was adopted. I really belong to a family of witches and vampire hunters. My real mother was a witch and my real father was a vampire hunter. So, hunting vampires is in my blood and I'm a full blooded witch. Crazy isn't it. Everything - vampires, werewolves, witches and so much more - is real. When I was a little girl yeah I thought they were real. But as I got older I grew out of that belief. Now, I just found out yesterday that this Original, Klaus, is after me. And Elena. He wants me because I'm part of this prophecy to end the world. Not the WHOLE word though. Just the world for humans. Making vampires more dominate to control the world and turn human to slaves. This is a mess! And then to make it even worst I'm pregnant. By Damon. And he's a vampire. I can't believe this shit. I thought that vampire's couldn't get humans pregnant because their body was dead. They are just the living dead for God's sake. But here I am pregnant by Damon Salvatore. I guess it would be alright if we actually care about each other but we don't - he don't. It's crazy that we just met and that I'm crazily in love with him. But he could care less. Not that I told him. I can't and never will tell him - or anyone else for that matter. And NOW to make matters even WORST, he wants me to open a tomb filled with vampires so that he can find his ex girlfriend, Katherine (shaking my fucking head ). This is too much for me. But now I have to go meet Damon at his house so that he can lead me to the tomb and I can open it. Good bye, Diary.
I closed my diary and grabbed my car keys and Gilmore before walking downstairs and out the door.
Damon:
I was about to go see what was taking Athena so long when the door bell rang . I walked to the door to find, Athena.
"Hey." I said trying to make conversation.
She rolled her eyes, "Can we go now?"
"Yeah." I said walking out the house, closing the door, and leading her to the tomb.
"This is it?" She asked when we finally got there.
I nodded.
"Okay back up." She said opening her Gilmore. "Abrir la tumba, para que podamos ponerla en libertad. Libre de ella y los demás, que se han tomado. Nos hará libres. lo haremos!" She chanted over and over.
As she talked I couldn't help but notice that she looked bigger. Actually I noticed that last night when we had sex. But I didn't pay much attention to it. But now I see it. She was a little bit bigger in her thighs and in her stomach. I was snapped out of my thoughts when she turned to me as I heard a sqeak.
"It's done." Athena said.
And it was done. The tomb was open. I smiled at Athena and walked inside the tomb. "Katherine?" I called out. No answer. I ignored that and kept searching. Kept calling. Kept getting no answer. I thought that she was just to weak to answer me. But I knew that it was more than that.
I searched and searched and searched but at last I came to a decision: she wasn't in the tomb. I shook my head and walked out of the tomb.
"You found her?" Athena asked me.
" How did you know I was looking for someone?" I asked her.
"I know things, Damon."
"Whatever." I said walking away from her just wanting to be alone.
