First chapter to test the waters. I hope you all enjoy it.

Longer Chapters in the future.

OC Castings:

Aurora Bennett- Bianca Lawson

Olivia Bennett- Logan Browning

Javius Balcoin- TBD

The story will have elements from both the TV and Novel versions of the vampire diaries. Some aspects of the franchise will be modified i.e The werewolves.

The MC Javius Balcoin will bring in slight elements from the BBC show 'Merlin'. Those elements will be introduced and explained by him gradually over the course of time.

The story will rotate POV between Javius' perspective and a third person- omniscient.

Alos, the first season of TVD was not Bennett savvy so the chapters will be almost entirely separate from the show content. I will do my best to let you know where on the canon timeline the chapters are set. With that being said, don't be too shocked to see changes in the TVD world as the story develops.

Chapter 1: Whitmore College

I stood at the steppes of whitmore college. The sun beating down at the back of my head and the humidity in the air cause my clothes to cling to my body. It made me feel clammy and itchy in my own skin. It was nothing like Europe, my home for centuries. If I could go back I would, but I knew that had to be in Virginia, USA.

It all started a week ago. I had just finished my morning coffee and was on my way out of the house. I lived in a small town, very secluded near the coast of denmark. Because the town was so small and secluded, we hardly got any big news from the outside world. Though, last week was different.

A young girl that lived in the town, had travelled to america for college. Whitmore College. At the time the name meant nothing to me. The girl had decided to major in biology and minor in something. I really didn't care. However, as years passed the girl changed and so did her interest and hobbies. Finally graduated, said girl decided to write a book, 'The theory of Witchcraft: Magic of the Modern Witch'. I was Intrigued and so were many of the villagers. Together, we read the book and the more I read the more a referenced name began to stick out like a sore thumb.

"Professor Sheila Bennett..." I muttered to myself in awe

I was born in ancient times. Best friend to Emrys, King of the Druids. Also known as Merlin, Magic Advisor to the Once and Future King of Camelot, Arthur Pendragon. I was the Husband of Morgana Le Fay Pendragon. My first life in this world was wonderful and riveting. It outshined my previous life by the time I was 12 years old sneaking through the palace with Morgana. As time went on the more I forgot about my old world. That is until the name, Sheila Bennett, forced the my memories of old to come rushing back like a tidal wave.

I sat in an armchair spaced out for an hour or more. The memories came quick and unruly, all I could do was bear their wildness and endure. Season after season of The Vampire Diaries TV show came to me, followed by The Originals and Legacies. Sheila Bennett was the Grandmother of Bonnie Bennett and an Occult Studies professor at Whitmore College.

I couldn't believe it. First the world of Merlin and now The Vampire Diaries. It was hard to wrap my head around and then I beat myself for not paying more attention to signs. The characteristics of Vampires, Though the wolves of this world were more along the lines of Twilight yet still slaves to the moon. But to know for sure, I scrubbed my identity, sold my dead weight and sent my storage conex container of precious items to Richmond, Virginia. After a nonstop flight from Copenhagen, I landed in Virginia. A few short hours later, I found myself at the cusp of a new adventure.

When I first arrived at Whitmore College, I tracked down Sheila Bennett's class schedule and waited at the steps of the hall where she taught her class. As a man who's lived for centuries, 3 hours was but a blink of an eye. as the sun set and the sky was painted with a myriad of warm vibrant colors, a older woman with light brown skin walked down the steps. She had short curly hair and deep onyx eyes. I was struck speechless, walking towards me, was none other than Sheila Bennett.

Taking a few deep breaths to force down my excitement. I extend my hand to catch Sheila's arm as she was about to pass. "Professor Sheila Bennett?" I asked .

Sheila gave me her signature expression with a raised eyebrow, "Can I help you?" she asked with a bit of sass.

I promptly let her arm go and assumed the replacement identity I prepared beforehand, "I think you can" I said while rummaging through my backpack for, 'The Theory of Witchcraft: Magic of the Modern Witch'. Handing the the book to Sheila, I continue, " I'm Javius Balcoin, Professor. I had the pleasure of reading your students work. I could tell she wasn't a witch simple by her choice of language in the book. But you, you're a Bennett witch, aren't you?"

Sheila looks over her students book. Left to right, right to left, she examined it. "Hmm, so what can I help you with, Mr. Balcoin?"

She was a kind woman, that much was obvious. So, naturally I had to take advantage. "I need help... I have nowhere else to go and if I continue to wonder by myself, I'm sure a vampire will catch my eventually. No witch wants to be slave to an abomination... Please, you're the only option I have left" My voice cracked as I begged.

Sheila took a moment to feel the energy around me. She then looked me over once, then twice. With a bit of forgotten glamour magic, I looked to be around 14 years old and harmless - I hoped.

Letting out a deep breath, Sheila nodded her head began to walk away. Naturally, I followed close behind with a smile showing my excitement. Once we reached her car and started our drive to her home, Sheila began to give me the 4-1-1.

"Look, I don't have a husband and I live alone. So, you can stay with me. You will go to school. Tomorrow I'll take you to get everything settled. As far as magic goes, I will give you a few test later in the week to assess your abilities. I'll teach you what I know. However, I have three granddaughters, one is 14 and the other two are 12. Their father doesn't like magic and the girls don't know about their heritage. When we get to dinner at my son in law's house. I'll do the talking and you follow up if he gets persistent. I don't really like him to be honest, but he's family."

While sheila talked, I sat and listened. It was the best way to get as much information as possible. Sheila loved to talk. I got the impression that she really didn't get the chance to talk to people much, about things other than work. with a few questions here and there to guide the conversation. I just continued to take mental notes. It had become apparent that things were different. the fact the Bonnie had a twin and an older sister was a testament to that.

Sometime later, Sheila and I arrived at a two story house. Walking through the front door, Sheila was immediately bombarded by hugs from her three granddaughters. Immediately I could tell which was Bonnie. I could feel the magic fighting against her internal dam wanting to be set free and used. Not only was Bonnie a deep well of magic, but so were her sisters. The oldest was nearing her awakening I couldn't help but stare and be confused. The girls were so powerful yet they were taking so long to awaken. It baffled me and then I remembered my conversation with Sheila. I felt...disgusted.

I turn to look up at Sheila and she flashes a quick frown before Bonnie's twin backs away and starts to ask Sheila who I was.

Sheila pulls me close and says "This is Javius Balcoin. I'm going to be taking care of him from now on. His parents were students of mine and they recently passed away."

The girls wore sad faces and Bonnie's caring side overwhelmed her to the fullest, forcing her to launch herself forward to embrace me in a tight hug. I didn't know what to do, this girl had never met me and she hugged me with affection of 1,000 years. She mumbled, "I'm sorry" into my chest. It almost brought tears to my eyes.

When the hugging was over. The girls introduced themselves. "I'm Bonnie"

"I'm Olivia, Bonnie's fraternal twin"

"Of course we're faternal. we're not identical."

I chuckle a bit amused

"Shut up, Bonnie. I was just letting him know."

"Anyways, I'm Aurora. The oldest... I guess, we'll be going to school together then?"

"Yes, Professor Bennett said I should start tomorrow"

The girls looked at me a bit weird when I called Sheila, Professor Bennett.

"You can just call her, Grams, from now on." Said Aurora

"Right, Grams?" The twins chimed in as one.

Grams smirked and looked at me, "Grams is just fine, Javius"

The dinner that followed was good. It had been a long time since I ate at a table with a family so full of life. Rudy, Grams' son in-law was a bit suspicious at first but soon decided to leave Grams to her secrets. After Dinner, Grams and I stayed at Rudy's house. The next day he was schedule to go out of town on business. Because of this, Grams had to take the girls to her house in the morning.

From there she dropped the twins off at school and then Aurora and I at Mystic Falls High. Aurora went straight to class while Grams and I took care of school paperwork. At the start everything was flawless. They guy I have on my payroll was the absolute best, destroying and rebuilding identities was like second nature to the guy. The problems arose when the records office asked guardianship paperwork and so forth. But, it was quickly remedied when Grams casted a spell to compel the desk lady.

"You get to class, I'll take care of everything by tonight." Grams smiled at me and ushered me out the door with a class schedule in hand.

Taking a look around the hallway. I couldn't help but smile. I was actually standing in Mystic Falls High School, the place where battles would be waged and lives changed forever. I inhaled deeply and exhaled 4 seconds later. I took a look at my schedule then took my first steps towards a future of endless entertainment and the long held fantasy of my previous life. To live the story of the Vampire Diaries.
