The woman just kept smiling at me, and I have to admit it scared me a little "Sit down, darling".

I understood that woman in front of me knew more than I expected. So without saying a word, I just sat beside her.

"It's time for you to find out the truth" She said with a smile.

{Mystic Falls, few days ago}

I woke up, immediately sitting up, and cold sweat covered my body. As much as I wanted control these dreams, I couldn't. They always came back.

Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door.

"Ann, are you okay?" I heard Elena's voice right after she opened the door.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine" I said, but my voice sounded like I don't believe it.

Elena entered into the room. She looked sleepy and I understood that I woke her up.

She sat up on my bed and looked at me worried "Are you sure that you're okay? I heard you screaming".

"It was just a nightmare, not a big deal" I said and finally started to breath fine.

"You wanted to say, one more nightmare?" Elena asked and I looked at her with a questionable look "My room is close to yours, Ann. I hear you every night".

I didn't know what to say, so I just looked down. Honestly, I didn't notice that I scream or something while I have those dreams.

"I would say it's a coincidence that it start right after you bought this necklace" She smiled and touched the pendant.

But then something weird happened.

It burned her. My necklace burned Elena when she tried to touch it.

"Ouch" Elena immediately took her hand away "What was it?"

I looked shocked on my necklace and murmured "I... I don't know".

{Mystic Falls, present day}

"Truth?" I asked and the woman nodded "What kind of the truth?"

"Can I?" She asked and pointed to the picture I held.

I gave it to her and watched after her look. When she looked at the picture, she smiled, and I could notice sadness in her eyes.

"Her name was Anastasia" She said without looking at me and kept staring at the picture "And yes, she is the same Anastasia you saw in your dreams".

Well, I was right. She knew more than I expected. She knew about my dreams. But how?

I looked at her without saying a word, listening carefully to her words.

"She was abandoned by her mother when she was a baby. Her mother was the first owner of the necklace, but after she lived a very long life, she killed herself".

"How?" I asked.

"She jumped off the cliff".

And here I remembered. In my very first dream I saw a woman who did the same thing. But if she leaved a long life, wasn't she supposed to be old?

"After that, Anastasia got the necklace and found out the real reason her mother left her. She had to. Being the owner of the necklace it's not easy as it seems, you have destination, so she wanted to protect her daughter".

"How do you know all of that?" I asked, barely believing to her words.

The woman looked up at me and said with a smile something that made me freeze "Because I am Anastasia".
