France, 12 century
Sitting in a room lit by candles was a brown skinned women with long black hair resembling features of Bennett witches. She knew her days were numbered as the witches who where determined to end her now had the only thing that could kill her. A knife the only knife the could kill her kind. She knew creating a doppelganger of herself though the Bennett blood line is the only way her kinds magic wouldn't disappear forever. Her voice went from a low whisper to filling the room as she felt her magic coursing threw her , felling it taking over her body. When the spell was over the once burning flames all blew out at the same time confirming the spell worked. Now when the time came a Bennett witch would inherit her powers and protect the balance.
September 2010
I knew Bonnie was weird but I didn't think she was weird enough to sneak into my room and stroke my face while I am sleep...well I'm awake now. I turned over and opened eyes looking to catch my cousin in act of weirdness but ended up jumping out off my bed almost falling. I have to make sure I'm seeing is what I think I'm seeing or who I'm seeing. She looked exactly how I last remembered her. But she couldn't be here she dead she's been dead. I could see my mother clear as day sitting on my bed. What the hell!.
" Sweetie its me-"She said as she moved closer.
" Dont Come any closer " I said cutting her off not completely sure if she is the real deal.
" I did think I would scare you, I'm sorry but its me" She told me getting up from the bed and I moved further back.
" How do I know its really you"
" Well while I was on the other side I have watched you do many questionable things like the friendship tattoo on your right hip that you ,Caroline,Bonnie and Elena got on Caroline's Sixteenth birthday." She answered quickly with the same kind of sass my grams had. Which freighted me more because she was right I did have tattoo that we all kept secret. Then I was brought back to the realization that my mom who I hadn't seen in fourteen years was standing in my room.
" Mommy" I choked out on the brink of tears moving to hold her and the embrace proved further that she was real.
"That's the reaction I was hoping for" She whispered in my ear holding me tighter.
" What happened, how are you here ?" I asked freaking out a bit.
" Something must have went wrong when Bonnie sent Vicki back to the other side. IT left door open to the I'm not the only who come back there are others seeking revenge." She answered worriedly still holding me.
" Where's grams " I asked excitedly hoping to to see her again.
" We can see her later there's things we have to do first"
" What could possibly be more important" I asked confused and she looked as if she didn't know how to explain it.
" Have you noticed things made of iron have been shocking you lately or how any tiny mess drives you crazy and when that asshat hybrid snapped you're neck you survived." She explained.
" you know why I came back to life"
"Yes, I always knew you were special but you're way more powerful than you think you are. "
" So what is it." I pushing her to tell me.
"There's someone who can explain it better then I can" She answered being secretive again.
" Who?"
" Titania, now get shower and meet me downstairs."She answered with haste.
" What if you bump into Bonnie" I asked wondering how freaked she would be.
" Dhe isn't here she with Caroline we need to hurry,not all the ghost here have good intentions"
After quickly getting ready and rushing to my car I found my mom in the drivers seat.
"Um mom Whatcha doing?" I asked my mother as she adjusted the steering wheel.
" Driving, you don't know the way" She answered with a hint of sarcasm.
" Okay but you haven't driven since the early 90s , I think it's best if I drive" I offered.
" No I have seen you drive , it's not happening " She said sternly and I dragged myself to the passenger seat.
We drove a few miles in silence awkwardly. I had not a clue what to say to my mother. I had a hard time believing she was there or any other ghost for that matter. The one thing I wanted to know what happened to her and not the story my grams told me and Bonnie.
"Mom... What uh happened to you? " I asked timidly" grams told it was an accident but after I found out I was a witch she wouldn't tell me what really happened."
" look sweetheart being a witch isn't easy especially when you have love one's you need to protect" she spoke solemnly.
" So you died using you're magic to protect someone" I said thinking out loud.
" Yes my most prize possession...you" She said and lightly smiled. I knew she was just deflecting the question and I squinted my eyes at her like my grams used to do when we didn't give the whole story.
"Wow okay, you are to much like your grandmother. Fine vampire came to mystic falls was way to interested in you and Elena and your aunt and I had to do something but the kind of magic we used is dangerous. Abbie lost her magic and I lost... everything" She answered quietly.
" Who was the vampire" I asked wanting to know.
" Eve , it's fine he's locked away and no one knows where is body is." she said and turn to me and taking a deep breath." fine ,Mikeal the original vampire hunter but don't worry no one is looking for him."
My mom turned on a dirt path leading deeper into the woods and then we stopped in front of an abandoned house I realized I knew nothing about the person was going to meet. I trusted my mother instincts but was still a little weird out about it. So decided to ask some questions.
"So mom where did meet this person"
" On the other side. I was alone mostly until she found me and explained everything "
" What made you trust her " She turned and look at me and told me to hold my hands out and held hers above mine and I felt an overwhelming of magic but also the safe felling I always felt with grams or when Bonnie and I using our magic together.
" When ever you feel that it means your with family and they have the best in mind for you" She answered with out me even asking what it meant" You can trust her." My mom told as we walked in a large two-story house.
We venture farther into the in old house that was not too far from the Salvatore crypt but I had never noticed before. Which made me wonder how long the house had been abandoned. The floors were old and worn ,even the walls looked like they were ready to come down. My mom led me to into the basement and I followed her into a room with caution.
I saw a figure of a girl my height and size in to corner and wasn't alarmed until the candles in the room went ablaze as she gracefully moved forward and I finally saw her face. It was like mine exactly like mine. The only difference in her was she looked a few years older.
" It's nice to finally meet you Evelyn I'm Titania" she spoke with elegance as she stepped forward but I stepped back not completely sure what I was seeing . Again. I turned to my mother and her eyes pretty much confirmed what I was in front of me.
" I will wait outside" My mom said quickly leaving me alone.
" So mom told me you could tell me what's happening to me" I asked as she circled me and stared intently.
" Yes. I can" she simply answered at first "I made you what are in order to kept my kinds magic alive." she answered back returning to the spot in front of me.
" I'm Sorry you're kind, what are you?" I confused and concerned all at the same time .
" Over the centuries we gone by many names, but fae or farie is the that stuck the most" My first reaction was to laugh and called this a joke but the dead serious look on her face told me otherwise.
"Oh god, you're serious" was all that my brain could process. " Wait are you telling me I'm a farie"
" Yes a spell I did many years ago made it possible for you to be one. It's in your blood it just needs to be.." He paused looking for the best word to use "activated. " she explained but it left me even more lost.
"If being a faire is in my blood then why did you need a spell."
"Bennett witches ancestry go as far as distant relatives of my kind, but in not any witch can harness my power so I had to make you mirror myself."
"Like a doppelganger?" I asked thinking out loud.
"Let me start from the beginning. Fae are the oldest witches, everything we could do was because of nature, we were one with it. After a while many different forms of witches made . Some where peaceful others weren't. By the time vampires came around there were only a few of us You are the only one left with fae magic. You having our magic keeps it alive and as long as you have to magic won't age or die " she told me as I tried to process what she was saying
"Are you say if I accept this I will be immortal." I asked calmly even though I was freaking out a lot on the inside." so what's the downside in of this." I asked wanting to hear the cons of this special power. Everything seemed a little too good to be true but if mom trusted her maybe she was on our side.
"Enemies, witches who believe we shouldn't have this much power but you shouldn't worry they know nothing of you, you're safe. "She answered. " other than that iron will burn at the touch and and rare plant will weakened you and powers much like vervain does to vampires."
"What do I have to do" I asked simply thinking of the safety my friends.
She smiled and held hand out" take my hands"I grabbed both hands after hesitating.
Her pupils started to glow a florescent blue and she mumbled something in Latin that I couldn't understand. All at once I felt overwhelming boost of energy than I broke down as I felt a burning sensation in my eyes as she she stopped and let go. Used my phone to look at my eyes to see my eyes were now florescent blue also. Oh shit was my only thought.
" This goes away right because I have school tomorrow?" I asked half joking.
" Yes, you will be fine. One more thing before you go what ever you do not trust Michael or the original witch."
" What " I asked only hearing about Michael today what could he have to do with anything my mom said her and Abbie put him away for good and how is the original witch.
"You will know soon enough" she answered and then vanished.
"Well that was enlightening" I say in a sarcastic tone as I approach my mom in the abandoned house living room.
" Was it not what you expected " She asked with a smirk as she walked towards the door.
" Oh no of course thought you would bring me to a creepy old house to meet my farie doppelganger and tells me I'm one too." I sassed back and she actually rolled her eyes at me.
" It's a powerful gift Evelyn "She said as I followed her into the woods.
" I got that with the immortality part, and where are we walking to"
" I told you Bonnie and your grandmother need our help to close the door to the other side" she said simply.
" Yeah I know" I answered quickly hating the fact I only spent a few hours with her. We reached the witches house in ten minutes I just had to stop her." mom wait!" I said loudly getting her attention. " why can't we we just hold on a second I just got you back" I asked weakly hating losing her again.
" Hey I'm by you're side whether you can see me or not. I am so proud of what you can do all by yourself. Now lets save the town again" she said as she wiped a single tear from my eyes.
"ok" I simply answered still upset.
We walked straight to the basement first seeing Jeremy by the door. I run straight for my grams and held her tightly telling her I missed her. We all joined Bonnie who looked more stressed then usual. I repeated the spell after Bonnie and the fire grew while the necklace started to spark. The feeling of my mothers hand started to slip away and closed my eyes not wanting to see my mother or grams disappear again.
" You're both stronger than all of this " was the last thing I heard from my grams. Bonnie and I continued to hold each as we felt the lose all over again.
Everything hit me the next morning as I replayed yesterdays moments. I still was trying to process my new developing powers or just the fact that I'm a fairy. But honestly I'm not surprised ever since I found out that witches and vampires are real I have been ready for anything. As I got ready for school I noticed the large amount of texts. Most of them were from Damon wondering where I had been and why I was ignoring him. Which I wasn't. I just had my own shit to deal with. Also Elena texting about some caves they found with information on Klaus. I text her back and told her if they had found something I would be over after school.
A few periods later I had gym and the cheerleaders decided with our new member. The squad cheered as Rebekah did flips and summersaults. As she did one more I noticed Elena stop in front of her. They started talking and Rebekah seems uninterested until she said something about a cemetery in charlotte. Rebekah looked like she was threatening Elena and walked back towards me.
" What are your friends up to " she asked me suspiciously.
" I have my own problems, so I have no idea" I answered having no clue what my friends were up to. Why would Rebekah help anyway.
" Anyway have you gone shopping for homecoming yet." asked this time with hopeful eyes.
" Yeah, Caroline and I brought ours along time ago."
" Okay you can help me pick out a dress then"
After 3 hours of shopping with Rebekah I really wanted to collapse on my bed. I had lie and tell her I needed to feed my cat. Note to self get a cat. When we left the mall she had at least eight dress to choose from. She even brought dresses for me even though I told her not to. Instead of going home I came to the grill. I needed Matt's help.
" Hey Matt" I yelled and he stopped at the backroom.
"Hey Evie, What's up." matt asked.
" I need you to come to Whitmore college with me"I asked with a hopeful smile.
"That's at least a three hour drive" matt said with a disapproving looked.
"I know I promise won't say to long" I answered as matt moved to get his things form the room.
" Is everything ok,you're not in some kind of trouble are you?." matt asked with concern.
"No, but it is important"
"Okay I will Drive" matt replied as I jumped and squealed uncontrollably.
Matt couldn't stand to talk about vampires or the supernatural drama of mystic falls. So we ended up having a normal conversation about school while laughing and joking around. We spoke a little about Tyler and why hadn't seen him much. I was most worried about the things Klaus would convince him to do. After a few hours driving matt finally pulled up the parking lot. He stopped the car and and looked over to me .
" What exactly do you need form here. " He asked un bucking his seatbelt.
" I need to find out more about what I am and I'm sure my grams as books to explain it in her old office " I said getting out of the car."
" and you needed me to drive ?"
"No , need someone to help me look and I trust you."
" Wait what more do you need to know about being a witch I thought you and Bonnie had bunch of spell book things?" matt said walking next to me.
" We do ,but I'm not just a witch I'm a fairy." I told matt leaving him dead in his tracks.
PS; I might change the "activation" part later I wasn't sure how to write it.
