"So, I was a witch? I am dead, right?" I ask.
"You weren't a witch. You are dead, for now. We don't have long." she says.
"But, my dad was? How was I not? I don't understand." I say confused.
"Yes, he was. You weren't, because you inherited your mother's traits." she says. So, Marylyn's fate is my fate as well? I'm gonna end up like her?
"How would inheriting from Marylyn change me being a witch?" I ask.
"Marylyn Blanchard, your mother, was conceived by demons."
"If you tell me that she's a succubus, I won't be shocked in the least." I say.
"Her reputation has been well-known long before you were born."
"Why did my dad go by Maven?" I ask cutting her off.
"He stopped using magic and He had no desire to be known as a Bennett when he met your mother." she says.
"Please, stop calling her that. She hasn't been a mother to me since he died." I say, then feel the need to ask. "Is he here? If we don't have much time, I have to see him." I say wide-eyed.
"I'm sorry, baby." She says, putting her hands on my shoulders, "He came and moved on. It's for the best." she smiles. Realizing that this woman is actually my grandmother, I hug her tight as if I hadn't seen her in years.
"What does that mean for me? Am I like her? Am I a succubus too?" I ask.
"No baby, you're not like her. Thankfully, my son's magic did have an effect on how what you are would play out. I've been watching you. You're nothing like Marylyn. But, you are half demon and you died with vampire blood in your system. How you will go back will be determined."
"What do you mean determined? What am I?" I ask.
"The answer is simple. You are special. You are a new breed. You are destiny." she says and there's that word again. "Special"
"I was told that I was special. Will I be half demon, half vampire?" I ask.
"Yes. But, how that will affect you will be entirely up to you. It can consume you or you can overcome it." she says and I start to feel a strange sensation.
"What's happening to me?" I ask.
"It's time! You're going back, Tell Bonnie I love her very much. You're cousins, Kitana, and I'm glad you have finally found each other. Take care of each other." she kisses my forehead.
They all pace the floor watching and waiting for her to come back to them. Damon stays in the same spot, grasping her hand as he stares at the daylight ring he placed on her finger.
"This is boring." Katherine says slinking around with a hand on her hip.
"You didn't have to be here. Leave." Elena glares at her.
"She's not going anywhere, Elena. She placed herself in this mess, now she'll watch it to fruition." Elijah says with a hand in his pocket.
"We're standing around waiting for poor Kit to come back. We all know she's gonna make the choice to turn. She'd never leave Damon." Katherine says leaning off to her left.
"Please, stop talking." They turn to Damon at once and in that same movement Kit jolts awake and Damon grabs her immediately hugging her tight.
"You came back to me. I missed you so much." he whispers in her ear.
"Get away from me!" she shouts pushing him away.
"Kitten, what's wrong?" he asks worried.
"You did this to me! I know you did." she cries, seeing she's still in her wedding dress.
"No, you don't understand. Let me explain." Damon says reaching for the spot where her wound is still visible and she slaps his hand away.
"Don't you dare touch me!" she growls while rising from the couch. As she circles the couch, her eyes rest on Bonnie.
"Grams" she whispers to herself and then runs to her cousin and wraps her arms around her. "Bonnie, it's true. It's all true. Damon was right."
"Wait a minute. What are you talking about?" Bonnie asks holding her at arm's length.
"Grams. I talked to her. She says she loves you and she misses you. Bonnie, we're cousins. I'm a Bennett." she says smiling brightly.
"What do you mean? How is that possible?" Bonnie asks.
"My dad was a Bennett witch, but when he met my mom he changed his last name and stop using magic. Your mom and my dad were biological brother and sister, Bonnie."
"So, we really are related. Close relatives?" she asks.
"Yes! We're cousins!" Kit says and Bonnie hugs her tight.
When they release, "Kit, your eyes. What's wrong with your eyes?" Bonnie questions bringing a hand to her mouth, but the only thing Kit can do is stare blankly at her.
"Kit!" Damon calls to her. She turns around at the sound of his voice, but what they see is truly shocking. Her eyes are a full. deep, red, unlike a vampire's eyes and her teeth are sharp and jagged, unlike a vampire's.
"Stefan, what's wrong with her?" Elena cries moving.
Kit snarls and in a second she's right in front of Elena as she pulls her head back exposing her neck. The moment she sets to pounce, the door opens and closes exposing a very worried Matt Donovan. Kit releases Elena and goes for Matt. Before any of the vampires can move, she's already sank her teeth into Matt's neck.
"You're killing him!" Biri shouts as she runs towards them and Elijah stops her by simply outstretching his arm.
"Kit! Release!" Damon calls and she turns with Matt so she looks directly into his eyes. He stands in the exact same spot she left him in by the couch.
She retracts her teeth as she looks at her husband.
"Is this what you wanted? Is this how you thought it'd be?" she asks in a deep, guttural, demonic voice, then she lets Matt fall to the floor and she's gone in a flash inside the house. Caroline, Tyler, and Jeremy rush to tend to him.
"What the hell was that? What's wrong with her?" Bonnie asks.
"That was something truly special." Elijah says as he releases Biri to charge her way to Matt and the small group leaves.
"Say something, Damon! This is your doing!" Stefan says urging his brother and Damon vamp speeds over to Elijah.
"What the hell is wrong with my wife, Elijah? You've said for months that she's special! What the hell was that?" Damon says as he grabs the lapels of Elijah's jacket.
"You will learn soon enough." Elijah smiles and he brushes him off.
"Stop toying with them Elijah, and tell them." Katherine slinks her way over to the two.
"Someone say something! What's wrong with her?" Elena questions stretching her arm out as if Kit was still in the room.
"She's reached her full potential. She's half vampire-half demon." Katherine smirks with the most pleased look on her face.
"So you know then?" they turn to see Kit looking like herself again at the entrance to the living area, but in much darker clothes than she usually wears and her hair down in messy waves over her shoulders.
"How do you like my outfit? You see Katherine, I knew you spent time here, pretending to be Elena. So, I just had a time finding your stash of clothing. Looks good on me, right?" she smiles turning to put her outfit on full display.
"Returning the favor of me taking your clothes at the wedding I see. Yes, I knew." she says with her arms folded.
"Hmmm." she hums is if weighing her options, then as calmly as possible, she stalks towards Katherine, sizing her up. The second she's eye to eye with her, she snaps her neck and she crumples in a heap on the floor.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Damon says turning her around holding her arms to each side of her. She just laughs in his face.
"Isn't this what you wanted? You wanted me to be like you, right?" she tilts her head to the right, smirking.
"But, you're not like me, are you? he asks trying to figure her out.
"Oh, I'm so much worse than you, Damon." she laughs demonically.
"What are you? What's happening to you?" he asks.
"I'm special. I'm a new breed. You can blame the woman who gave birth to me. Now, let me go." she growls.
"Damon." Elijah pipes in and she spins in his direction, much to Damon's surprise of how easy it was for her.
"Elijah. You said when I was ready to learn why I'm special, I'd learn. Apparently, I'm ready. Wouldn't you say?" she says sauntering over to him, her arms stretched out with her elbows turned inward.
"It would seem so." he says shifting against his spot at the entrance, for the first time since being in the house.
"You've never judged me. Not once have you questioned me. I remember what you said to me before my wedding." says turning on her heels and sauntering back to Damon.
"Speaking of, I remember everything you've ever compelled me to forget. I remember how you told me that you were a vampire and that you had to break up with me to protect me all those years ago. I remember how you brought me to the Caribbean and had a beautiful beach wedding then compelled me to forget it. Why would you do all that?" she drags her tongue along her teeth, drawing his full attention to her mouth.
"Because, I love you. I knew you wanted our family there for our wedding day. I knew something would happen, so I married you before it could." he looks her in the eye.
"I remember the vows ending with For all eternity instead of For all the days of our lives. You were just so determined to turn me, weren't you?" she asks fiddling the sleeves of her jacket.
"You think I wanted this for you? I didn't wanna lose you." Damon says fisting his hands.
"How do you figure you haven't lost me?" she says stepping towards him, jamming a hidden stake from her sleeve into his abdomen and he slumps into her. "These clothes are a loaner. I'd appreciate it if you didn't bleed on them." she says leaning over him, cupping his mouth in one hand in an unloving manner.
Walking away from him as Stefan surprisingly brushes past her to check his brother, "So, you're just gonna let go of your humanity. Just like that." He asks her.
"Come on, Stefan. Even you had to see this coming. As moral as you are, you had to know I wouldn't just heel to what he wanted for me." she turns back with a hand on her hip and a smile on her face.
"Kit, what's happening to you?" Elena suddenly grasps the hand that's been resting on her hip.
"Poor innocent, angelic, Elena. How can you be so blind as to everything that happens around you?" she questions placing her hand back on her hip.
Before Elena can say anything else, "I also remember…"she stops as if remembering something. "Who was that bitch that shot me?" she asks more to herself than anyone else.
"That would be my sister, Rebekah." Elijah states stalking towards her.
"Your sister? Well I'm gonna kill her."
"I'll handle my sister. You work on your humanity." he says.
"My humanity is gone, Elijah." she growls. "But, I do remember something else. Something….That son of a bitch! He played me this whole time!" she says stalking towards the door. "Elijah? You coming?" She says turning back and he's by her side in a flash.
"Where are you going?" Damon grits with the little strength he has left.
"I'm going to kick a hybrid's ass." she says and then they're gone.
