I had fled, tracking the scent of my mother. A werewolf bite would kill her eventually but I didn't want her to suffer. Even though she had killed all of those innocent people she didn't deserve to slowly wither away in pain. I would make it as painless as possible. "If she finds me she will kill me," I heard her voice up ahead. I slowed down, if the wind picked up and changed direction I was in trouble. I scaled a tree quickly and started moving closer in stealthily. I saw a figure in a hooded cloak. "I can't help you Lily," the man said. He sounded familiar but I couldn't place where I remembered his voice. "You have to help me, they were created because of you," she snarled. "If you had backed off and left it alone they wouldn't have become vampires, Makayla wouldn't have had a child with an original!" Lily screamed at him. "It's not my place to look after them now. They made their choice, I will help you though in killing Damon and Stefan. They were responsible for this, the way I am now. Makayla can live her life on, but the girl tell me more about the girl," the man said becoming interested in a female. "She's Katherine's doppelganger, looks exactly like her. She has a different air about her though, she is human again. I don't plan on making that last long though, I want revenge on Damon," she growled. "So you are going to kill the last remaining Petrova?" the man asked. "I plan to stop their line," Lily growled. "We can't stop it, you know the universe has its ways. It will make sure a child survives," the man said slowly. "No it won't, it can't. All of the others off the line are dead. Katherine was the last one before she had her child because Klaus killed the rest of her family," Lily said. "How many children did Katherine's child have though Lily?" the man asked. Lily stood there thoughtfully for a few minutes and then she said, "Two." The man stood there for a moment, both were quiet. "That means Elena was descended from one of them, there is a back up out there somewhere, probably already had kids of her own," the man said. I felt a presence nearby and I looked up in the tree beside me. There was a crouched girl about seventeen or eighteen with fist clenched. She looked beautiful, she had dark brown hair and olive skin. She reminded me of Elena but she wasn't a doppelganger. "Let's go, I have a feeling we are being watched," the man said starting to turn. The sunlight caught his face and I saw the face, I would never be mistaken for who I had just saw. This changed everything, I would have to tell Damon and Stefan before I was killed. While his back was turned I zeroed in on Lily. My mother would die at my hands, she would never hurt another soul. I jumped and sailed down with ease. I had extended my canines just in case I couldn't get the stake in. I was accurate in hitting my target. Lily's body fell limply to the ground, she was dead. The stake was drove right through her heart. The girl that was in the other tree was still there and that's when I looked at the back of the cloaked man. "Stefan and Damon will be pleased that you're back in town," I said looking at his back. He didn't turn around. "They will never know I'm back," he said quietly. "You won't harm them. They will not be harmed because of you!" I snarled. He laughed, his voice chilled me. I knew who it was, I was sure of it. I looked back at the girl in the trees and mouthed one name to her. She took off without hesitation to get help. I couldn't do this on my own.


"Damon! Stefan!" a voice shouted from outside the house. Everyone had came racing to see who it was. "Who are you?" Damon asked staring at the girl. "I'll explain later, right now Makayla needs you. Lily is dead but there was a man, Makayla told me to run and get you. He's back, he's back, and he's coming to bring hell with him," the girl said out of breath. "Who are you? Who is back?" Elena asked coming around the corner. "Katherine's child had two children; two girls. One of those girls is your ancestor, you are the last of her line. I am the descendant of the other one. I am the last of her line," she said. "My name is Rain," she said looking at Elena. "How do you know this?" Stefan asked. "I heard Lily and the man talking about it because Lily was coming after Elena and the man was coming after Damon and Stefan. He was going to leave Makayla in peace but she killed Lily and confronted him. She needs your help," the girl said quickly. "Where is she? Who is the man?" Damon asked. "She is in the old cemetery," the girl said. "Who is the man?" Stefan asked. "She said his name...what was his name?" the girl asked herself quietly. Then she raised her head up and looked at Stefan and Damon. "Guiseppe," she whispered.
