Dear Diary,
I know it has been long since I wrote something, months I guess, yes more than half a year I know. I fell for the lies of someone. beautiful lies, dreamt the dreams that every girl dreams, today I wake up and see I am alone, once again just as it was before he walked into my life, told me all the lies to get what he wanted from me and left me like a used tissue. Never again, I repeat, never again I am going to fall for the beautiful lies of someone.
Well, that's how darkness is exactly right, attractive on the outside, but all dark on the inside.
When Elena crossed her twelfth birthday, her appearance became more and more similar to that of Katherine each passing day, not Grayson, not Miranda but John was well aware of the fact of what a doppelganger was and what its role was in most of magic rituals, blood sacrifices and so on. When her uncle John realized who she was, her safety as became a concern for him, he could picture in his head what Klaus would do to his brother's family if he realized about the existence of Elena or that if Elena ever pulled a Katherine over him.
Keeping all that knowledge in his mind, he decides to put Elena away for her own good as well as for the good of his family.
It was her fourteenth birthday when she was transferred to a boarding school far away from Mystic Falls, she would never visit back, instead the Gilberts would go and visit her at school, and would take her outing from there to other places, all places except her home.
Years passed, the distance became the reason for her and Matt's break up, also that Matt got more attracted to Caroline and they both were head over heels for each other. Elena graduated from her school and had applied in various colleges to get aa degree in Literature. Her mom wanted her to be a writer and she planned on being one and along with that she thought to get her PhD in Literature so that she could teach in universities her favorite subject and earn her living through the same.
Her school had been an all-girl's school, privately owned school and without an invite no vampire could enter there. Because none entered, none saw, the reincarnation of the beauty that was Katerina Petrova. Boys tend to take pics of their girl friends and show. Girls however, are more interested in taking their own selfies, no pics leaked, equals no one knew about the existence of the doppelganger yet.
The first day of her college, she wore a red Henley, blue jeans, her left arm is wrapped around a bunch of books that she is hugging to her chest, she stands before the door to her class room. The mahogany door is shut, she closes her eyes takes a deep breathe in, it's her new life, the first step towards her career, she has a lot of expectations, lot of dreams, she exhales, opens her eyes holds the knob, ready to step into her new life, but it is when she opens the door, the view before her eyes shocks her to her core, her hold on her books loosens and her books fall to the ground, she is so shocked she doesn't realize she is holding her breath.
