It was her 8th birthday and Evelyn Bennett was chasing her friends in the backyard. It was an intense game of tag. Evelyn called for a time out and walked into the back door heading for the kitchen hoping to get something to drink . She looked around searching for her grandmother until she finally heard her whispering in the living room.

"She keeps having the same Nightmare. She just wakes up screaming." Her grams told the unknown person on the phone. Evie wondered why Grams would tell anyone about her dreams. All she knew was a man with the monster face was attacking a young woman but her grams told her she was fine and her imagination was getting the best of her.

"Of course I am, I give her my tea every night but its not enough. Maybe you should come back, it might help." She paused as she listen to whoever was on the phone. "Okay, you're right. I'll call you if it gets worse. She needs you." She said and immediately got off the phone but before Sheila turned she finally sensed her granddaughter behind the wall.

"It's not polite to eavesdrop." She said as young Evelyn peered around the corner.

"Who was that, Grams ?" Evelyn asked timidly.

"A friend. I was just getting some advice. But I'm pretty sure you're missing the fun at your party worrying about my phone conversation." She answered the child, guiding her the back to the party.

Homecoming

Matt was silent. He continued to follow me into the building and didn't say much as the security guard let us in. I could only imagine what he was thinking . He was probably trying to figure out what to say after my confession. I could trust matt wouldn't say anything to anyone. Also according to him he's invisible anyway. That's how it needed to stay until I learned more about myself. So we started to look around in the pile of books in my grams office.

" What are we looking for exactly?" He asked, taking a books out of a box.

"Anything on origins of magic or anything that says fae in it." answered quickly I think. I'm not quite sure .

"I thought you said you were a fairy."Matt asked confused.

"They're the same thing, Matt. But its more likely its written as fae in them." I explained but matt still had lost written on his face."What matt?"

"It's just Elena says you've been a little distant lately and avoiding everyone. Is it because of this? You've been more than a witch." he said concerned.

"I just ... we're not the kids in that picture anymore." I answered showing him a picture of all of us three summers go. " I want to be like that again someday and the only way I can do that is knowing my strength and weaknesses. I want to protect everyone . Also I'm not avoiding Elena I'm avoiding a certain vampire that seems to be attached to her hip."

"You don't wanna be around Damon?." he asked.

"Why do you sound so surprised?" I said looking up at him.

"You just seemed really ... determined before." he answered honestly.

"Yeah,that was before I realized what they really mean to each other. Were friends and I don't wanna ruin it." I answered as truthfully as I could.

"So why didn't just look online about this stuff"." matt asked changing the subject.

"Because when has anything online that's true? No this information as to come from an actual book." Sifting through my grams paper work.

" Ow!" Matt yelled painfully and I turned to see what happened. Matt was on a ladder and it seemed like a book from a higher shelf fell on him . I reached over and picked it up. The book was on ancient Greece mythology. I turned a few pages hoping to find something but this was worse then reading the grimoires Bonnie had.

"Can you read it?" Matt asked peering over my shoulder.

"Only a little, but that's because I took Greek as an elective to be with Trevor." I told him.

"I'm pretty sure both of you failed that class."

"Really Matt, you wanna talk about failing classes?" said jokingly but still got a slight push from him.

I stopped on a page and noticed a phrase the I could translate into as "magic from nature " and " beginnings of magic".

" I think I got something." was all I said and matt gave a look of relief.

After getting my the sixth urgent text like "we need you at the Salvatore house" and "come now its serious.". I decided to actually go. What ever it was it must be important because Stefan used his stern voice when he left a voice mail. I pulled up behind Damon's car and groaned knowing I would have to deal with him and everyone's questions on why I've been MIA these last couple of days. I wasn't ready for that. I was just to unsure how to tell them. I pushed opened the door and followed the sounds of people leading me to the library. I walked in to see a nervous everyone. I also a came face to face with a middle aged man who looked way too sure of himself.

" Where have you been? " Damon asked briskly. But before I could remind him that he wasn't my father The man cleared his throat reminding me of Elijah when his patience grew thin.

"Damon that not important, she's here now and we need her." Elena countered. "And I'm sure she will explain where's she been later." she finished but I gave her a look like that's not happening.

"Thank you, Elena." I said sarcastically "What's going on and who's this guy." I asked already done with my 'friends'.

" This is Mikael. Klaus' father and he's gonna help us kill Klaus". I Immediately recognized the likeness between him and Elijah. what angered me was he had once got a good look at him I realized his eyes. I had seem him before. I used to just think they were just bad dreams but my mother confirmed it. They were the last thing my mother saw before she died.

A sudden rage filled my bone and I acted out. Then in a split second Mikael was on the floor in pain holding his throat as if he was being choked but fighting the spell I was using on him. So I tried harder. Immediately I felt my feet leave the ground and being moved before I could hardly catch my breath. I soon felt myself backed up against a tree and Damon firmly holding me still.

"You have three seconds the let go." I simply ordered.

"No , I won't. Not until you tell why you just tried to kill our only chance to kill Klaus." He retorted, still holding me back.

I looked in his eyes and decided to tell him little bit of the truth. "I saw him in a dream ... Well a vision. I thought they were just dreams. He killed my mom." Damon automatically let go but still blocked my way as I tried to walk past him.

"I believe you and I'm sorry but I can't let you hurt him until after Klaus is gone. After that you can turn his brain into mush." Damon offered but it wasn't enough, nothing ever would be.

"Fine,but that's all you get " I warned as I walked to my car.

After the exchange at the Salvatore house I rushed over to the school for the decorating of the homecoming dance. It was the only normal thing about my week . I definitely didn't want to talk about it. Also Caroline was definitely waiting for me. So I pulled into the parking lot trying to be unnoticed. That didn't last too long.

" Evelyn! Thank god you are here, your friends over there can't spell." she said pointing to the b- team on the squad.

"Got it" I said rushing to them. "Nooo!, not tinderwolfs ,TIMBERWOLVES. It's right there" I yelled seeing exactly what care was saying. I heard a couple of 'my bads' and instructed them to just hang the posters instead. Which meant I had only me, myself, and I to make new ones.I started on the outline continued to write as I felt so one walk up behind me and Cover my eyes.

" guess who" a familiar voice whisper's into my ears.

"Cute but I know it's you, Trevor." I said as I moved his hands from my face.

"Alright you got me, but you will never guess what I have." he said smiling . Which is sadly my kryptonite. Together or not he could get away with he was also predictable.

"Tickets to homecoming." I simply answered and his smile dropped.

"Come on, I'm not that bad am I?" he said slightly frustrated.

"Don't worry its cute." I reassured, kissing him. I want to be with him but I constantly felt like him being anywhere near me was putting him in constant danger.

"I will pick you up at eight." He said picking me up and kissing on the cheek.

"Be ready." he said letting me down and walking back to the rest of the team.

I was in front of my mirror fixing the gold clip that pushed back one side of my hair and play with some of the curls I let loose on the other side.I was trying to get my hair just right. I applied my makeup and smoothed out my Burgundy Strapless Knit Crotchet Sheer Overlay Party Dress that Rebekah picked out for me. For someone who just woke up on this century she has a lot of style. I checked my phone again looking to see if she got my text but there was still nothing. I guess she was still getting ready. A text came through from Trevor and moments later a knock at our front door. I grabbed my purse and phone ready to leave but stopped at Bonnie's room first.

"Hey, you sure you want to stay home,Trevor told me Kevin wanted to ask you."

"No, maybe next time I'm fine." she answered sadly.

"It's's your senior year bon." I whined.

"I promise the next dance."

"Ok, but if I see Jeremy I'm tripping him." I told my cousin gaining a laugh but I wasn't going to tell I wasn't joking. I see him I will make him fall.

I meet Trevor at the door and a hands me a flower that looks like he picked it from a neighbor's garden. He was always adorable.

"So good news or bad news first." He asked as he let me in to his dark blue convertible.

" bad news."

"the schools gym flooded and everything is ruined."

"What! How? We did so much."I panicked. "Wait if the dance is cancelled, then where are we going."

"That the good news, Tyler is throwing a party at his house." I smiled at his answer but I knew something was up . I guess nows the time to give him his birthday present early just in case things got bad tonight.

"Hey, know it's early but want to give you your birthday day gift now." I told him and he pulled over so I handed him a small box.

"Yeah it kinda early my birthday is next month." he said opening it. "You got me a ring." he asked confused with a slight smile.

"Yeah. I saw it at a flee market and I know how you like antiques." I lied as I watch him put on the resurrection ring I made for him. "Just whatever you do dont take it off. Ever." I instructed.

"Of course not, it's amazing. Thank you" he said and then kissing me happily.

I felt bad ditching Trevor after asking him to get me something to drink but I had to find at least one of my friends. I knew they were up to something but I knew Klaus had a plan since I could sense the hybrids everywhere. The house was packed with them. I walked into the large living room were people were dancing and someone grabbed my wrist.

"Would you join me for a dance love?" Klaus asked as a slower song played.

"Sure I guess it couldn't hurt." I answered after a moment of hesitation hoping I could get some information out of him.

"You seem tense sweetheart. Is something wrong?." he asked trying me.

"well you did ruin my school gym and made Tyler invite everyone here in a house full bloodthirsty hybrid's" I answered.

"Well I had to celebrate the end to my father in style. " he answered simply. For second I thought about just letting him but then again Klaus needed to be stopped to for good too.

"A little advice, go anywhere near my senior prom I will stab you in the face with the dirtiest piece of wood I can find."I said hoping he wouldn't be around for that long. Klaus just smiled then spun me around, and held me too close for comfort.

"Since were making promises I should warn you if you're friends are planning anything, you should know if I die there are hybrids instructed to give some lethal werewolf bites to you're vampire friends." He warned then releasing me. I had to find my friends they needed to know.

I pushed my way out to the backyard still looking for my friends to warn them but I couldn't find any one. I didn't find Damon or Stefan but Trevor did find me.

" Where did you go I got your drink but I couldn't find you." he asked.

"Oh sorry a had to use the bathroom and then I couldn't find you. " I told him but he didn't look satisfied with it. I saw Elena not to far from me but didn't want to lie to him again.

"Oh there's Elena can you wait here a second, Caroline wanted me to get her for something." I told him and then ran behind her before he could say anything.

"Elena wait I need to tell you something." I said stopping her realizing it was Katherine instead.

"I'm not." she answered secretly but changed he tune."What's the matter, Evie?" she answered with a fake smile as people walked passed us.

"What ever is going on it has to stop, you know he isn't going down without taking all of us with him." I told her, being quiet as I could hoping she realized her ass was on the line too.

She seemed to have gotten the message I gave. She nodded her head saying follow me. "Okay everyone is upstairs, come on Evie." she said still pretending to be Elena.

I nodded and followed the brunette up the steps and into a room which I found to be empty. Before I could turn around I felt my head being rammed into the door. I tried to fight back but my head was to fuzzy and disoriented to do anything. Soon after I felt Katherine fangs slicing through my neck and severe pain. But there was nothing no movement,no sight,no felling.

That bitch killed me.

I woke up a large gasp and extremely thirsty and in terrible pain . Apparently I can come back to life but it won't stop the pain. As the room came into focus I realized I was still at the Lockwood's still but I wasn't on the floor I was in the guest room. Then I realized someone was the room and he was not happy.

"You have one minute to tell me what going on." Tyler told me angry.

"What do you mean?"

"I sat on the floor next to you for ten minutes thinking you were dead. And I was convinced my best friend since forever was gone, because you had no pulse and no heart beat and then all of a sudden you started breathing and I know you're not becoming a vampire, so cut the shit and tell me."

"Tyler I want to, but all Klaus has to do is tell you it's important for him to know and I can't have him knowing about me. But I promise you will know once I figure out how to protect myself." I told him truthfully but it didn't get the response I wanted.

"I can't believe you would think that. I would never let Klaus hurt you and he can't convince me to do anything I don't want to do." He shouted back.

"Don't you get it, anything Klaus says you think it's necessary ." I countered.

"ITS NOT LIKE THAT."

"OF COURSE IT IS! Would you be so pissed if it wasn't?" And with that, Tyler left. I hated thinking I was burning a bridge with Tyler but maybe it's the best way right now. My phone started going off and I saw Bonnie's name. So I answered immediately.

"Hello." I answered grimly still in pain.

"Oh thank god. I didn't think you would answer the phone. Where are you? Are you ok?" she spoke frantically.

"What? Why wouldn't I answer, Bonnie?" I asked, confused.

"Where are you? I am coming to get you."

"I'm at Tyler's house" I told her. I wasn't sure if this whole dying and coming back was what had me so fatigued or my argument with Tyler but everything hurt. Note to self dont make it a habit to die.

"Ok I'm on my way, meet me downstairs." Bonnie told me, then hung up. As I got up from the bed in more pain then I thought. I checked my phone and realized it was one in the morning and had plenty missed calls from people especially a pissed Trevor.

I waited outside until I saw the headlights of Bonnie's Prius. I rushed as much as I could into the warm car getting relief from the fall chill. Instead of Bonnie pulling off she actually parked the car. Apparently Tyler wasn't the only one going to give me the third degree.

" Ok,what are you keeping from me and notice I said me not everyone else me because I'm you're cousin. Sisters even. What's happening?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing? So when Trevor called freaking losing it because he couldn't find you at the party , seen or heard from you. And did nothing happen when Damon called looking for you because Katherine insinuated that she SNAPPED YOU'RE NECK am I to believe nothing happened?!" Bonnie said far from calm. I really wasn't in the mood for this.

" OKAY! Yes Katherine snapped my neck just a few hours ago and I know why I'm still alive but its 1:30 in the morning I'm sore and I have a massive headache so we please talk about it in the morning!."

"Okay," she paused " I just wanna know your okay." She told me truly.

"I am going to be okay. We all are." I told her "Wait! What happened with Klaus!" I thought extremely loud.

" All I know is Michael almost had Klaus then Stefan stepped in and Klaus was able to kill him"

"Wonderful."

I started my explanation by telling Bonnie about my mother showing up when the other ghost did. She was fine until I told her the part about me being a farie and being immortal. Of course she volunteered herself to help me with my magic. It honestly helped with her knowing about everything. During our conversation Bonnie seemed little sidetracked by something.

"What's going on with you? " I asked.

" Uh ... Its nothing ... I'm not really sure." she answered confused at by herself.

"You sure?"

"I keep having this realistic dreams about these coffins and Klaus is in one of them." she told as if it sounded crazy.

"Bonnie, your instincts are always right and also we're witches so I'm sure it means something."

"What if it can help us stop Klaus?" I stared at her anxious face not sure of herself.

"Follow your instincts." I said leaving her room.

"Hey were are going? "

"For a walk." I answered Bonnie but she starred like I said something wild.

"Ok, but you're supposed to be at the grill to hangout out with Elena she's just as stressed as we are."

"Okay bye"

"Hey where are we going" I asked Bonnie finally catching up with her since I never made it to the grill.

"The old witches house, its where I keep having these dreams. Where have you been? "

"Trying to find Trevor. I can't get in touch with him. I just wanna make sure he's ok" I answered as we hiked though the woods.

" I'm sure he will be fine. Just I give it some time."

"Hello Bonnie, Evelyn"

" Stefan." Bonnie said in surprise.

"What? You followed us here?" I asked as I jumped.

"Yeah. Wasn't too hard. You should probably be more careful." He answered with a cocky smile.

"What do you want with us? "Bonnie asked getting to the point.

"Relax. I just need your help. "

"Why would I help you? Elena said you saved Klaus's life."

"Let me fill you in on a little secret about Klaus. He kept his family with him at all times...daggered. Stored in coffins. And now I have them, and I need you two help keep them hidden." He told us and Bonnie stared at me with doubt.

"Are you out of your mind? You're just gonna make him angrier."

"His family is his one weaknesses. As long as I have that, I can ruin him."Stefan said starting to sound little crazy.

"We don't have enough power to hide four Originals."Bonnie shouted.

"You're a witches. You hate Klaus. I know you can figure something out. " he said leaving us.

" Evelyn We can't do this. Its Way to dangerous" Bonnie said freaking out.

"Bonnie what did I tell you this morning, we got this. I'm stronger now." I told her.

"So you have a new found power it doesn't mean you can control it . We can't just use it after barely learning anything about it ."

"Bonnie we will be fine, even if I just use spirit magic."

"Okay, if you're sure." she answered.

Stefan and I waited for Bonnie to come back with the grimoires when we heard yells in pain. Most likely Damon. I ventured upstairs as Damon sped out.

"Where's Stefan? I know he's here." she asked and I pointed downstairs and she mouthed thanks.

As she went down stairs at I continued outside where Damon was.

"They still think you're a prick." I asked as he turned around.

"Unjustifiably, yes" he answered quickly. "What are you doing here?"

"Bonnie and I where summoned." I answered sarcastically.

"What going on with you anyway, how is it Katherine practically told me she snapped your neck to you standing in front of me perfectly fine? " Damon requested.

" Um, good question." I answered stalling then Elena walked out furious.

"That didn't go over well." He said to Elena still staring me down.

"Don't even start, Damon!"

"Let me talk to him!"

"You can't get in! The witches won't let you! " Elena said frustrated.

" Here. Take my car keys. You go deal with your brother, I'll deal with mine. Evie will even walk with you to the car? " Damon offered and followed Elena.

"This is the one I dreamed about. " Bonnie tells Stefan then tries to open it

" Don't bother. It won't open."

"What do you mean? Is it locked? "

" Nope. Just won't open. I've tried everything. Blow torch, axe, crowbar. Can't even scratch the finish. "

" I think it's closed with a spell."

As Bonnie and Stefan talk in the the distance I pondered over the coffins. The last one had have a weird effect on me. It was almost like I was being drawn to it . Before I realized it I was opening the coffin. I felt it even more has I stared at the young who resembled a young Elijah. Just I was about to touch his hand in a trance Bonnie closed the coffin in order to get my attention.

" What the hell was that , why are you're eyes glowing?."
