I sat there quietly, looking at this woman. She doesn't look older than 60 years old. If she is Anastasia that means she is over 500 years old.

"What do you mean you are Anastasia?" I asked her in shock.

"The girl you dreamed about, that girl whose mother jumped off the cliff - that's me" she looks so calm, like this conversation is normal to her. And there is me, sitting here, freaking out.

"But in my dream Anastasia was talking to Trevor that was dressed in another centaury clothes, so that makes you a few hundred years old, and you doesn't look older than 60" I said with wide eyes.

"Thank you, darling" she smiled "but, sweetheart, you live in a world where vampires are real, so a woman that is a few hundred years old so shocking to you?"

She has a point.

"Now let me tell you a story. This story starts from a woman that was born a thousand years ago. Her name was Elizabeth. She lived in the same village as Tatia. I imagine you know who Tatia was" she asked me and I nodded. She was talking about the second doppelganger "Good. That necklace was created for Elizabeth and it gave her powers that will help her in her mission. After years protecting Tatia, one night Elizabeth got feeling that something bad is about to happen with Tatia and she knew that if Tatia will die, she will die as well, so she put on herself a spell that will stop her from aging and from dying with Tatia. Elijah, one of the originals vampires, attacked Tatia and killed her. After centuries, Elizabeth got pregnant and that meant another doppelganger was going to be born. When I was a few months old, Elizabeth took me outside, and then Elijah saw her. They weren't friend in the past, but he knew her. He saw her a few times with Tatia. Elijah knew that she wasn't vampire, so he was shocked to see knew that he will start asking questions and won't give up until he will get answers, so she leaved her daughter on a porch of some family's house. She had to do it, to protect her child. After that, she disapeared. Not long after that, Elijah found out who she really was and about the connection she had with doppelgangers. Every time a savior is born, another doppelganger is born as well. When Elijah figured out who Elizabeth was, he told everything to Klaus and they started to hunt her. After years, Elijah finally found her. He didn't want to hurt Elizabeth, he just wanted to know where her daughter was, but she was ready to sacrifice her life just to protect her child and the doppelganger, so she jumped off the cliff."

"So in my dream that was Elijah what was talking to her?" I asked still shocked from this information. She nodded.

I knew this voice was familiar.

"After Elizabeth's death, I got that necklace for my 17th birthday from my adoptive family. No long after that, I started to have strange dreams about a woman. She looked so familiar, but I never saw her in my life before. The dreams were about her life, Tatia, how she put a spell on herself, and a dream where she left her child. I understood that she was my mother and what was my mission. I started to search for the doppelganger and found her in England. Her name was Katerina Petrova. At that time, Klaus and Elijah were always around her, so I couldn't get close to Katerina. I decided to watch over her from afar. I made a deal with Trevor, who was already in love with her, that if he will protect her and inform me about Kalus' dicision to do something with the curse, I will make sure he and Katerina will end up together. I knew that if Klaus gets to Katerina, he will kill her to break the curse and I will die as well. One night, I met Trevor and he told me that Klaus is going to break the curse soon.I knew that Katerina will become a vampire to survive, I could feel it, so I put a spell on myself to slow my aging process, just before Katerina killed herself. When Katerina became vampire, our connection was broken. I didn't know where she was and for centuries I just traveled. "

I sat there completely in shock and confused as hell. I had so many questions in my head, but asked probably the most unimportant one.

"And who is that man on the picture with you? He looks so familiar" she looked at the picture and smiled.

"Don't you recognize him?"

"No" I looked at the picture and then something clicked "Giuseppe Salvatore…" I whispered and Anastasia nodded "What is your connection with the Salvatore?" I asked still confused.

"Oh, darling.. This one you need to find out yourself"

Now I have even more questions than before
