I don't own Vampire Diaries, it belongs to Julie Plec. I only own my OC character, Asriel Gilbert. Julianna Mikaelson belongs to AssassinNovice72.

Prologue

Dear Diary,

First thing's first before I wrote down all the bad news that recently struck Mystic Falls, introduction of yours truly. My name is Asriel "Ash" Gilbert, fraternal twin brother of Elena Gilbert, older brother of Jeremy Gilbert, one of the nephews and sons of Jenna, John, Grayson and Miranda Gilbert.

Okay, now that I'm done in introducing myself due to you being a brand new diary that I just bought a few days ago and haven't open and written until now, it's time for the bad news. Our parents and my twin sister, Grayson, Miranda and Elena had a tragic accident when they fell off Wickery Bridge into the waters a few months ago. Our parents drowned while Elena survived the crashing and drowning and I blame her a lot for indirectly causing the deaths of our parents because if she haven't accepted the goddamn invitation to a party in the woods and later on broke up with Matt Donovan and called and insist to our parents to come pick her up from our usual family night at home, our parents would still be alive.

After our parents died and is buried in the cemetery, Jenna became our guardian while Elena, Jeremy and I immensed ourselves in our own things to do to cope the pain and loss of our parents, Jeremy turned to drugs and booze, Elena turned to writing in her diary while I turned to making, fixing and upgrading my motorcycle and other gadgets and making sure my skill as a hunter isn't rusted and giving Elena the coldest shoulder. It took me until after the funeral of our parents and 4 months of giving Elena the cold shoulder that I finally forgive her for their deaths.

And when school started, more surprising and bad news came to Mystic Falls, first is two vampires by the names of Stefan (who met and fell in love with Elena, who also fell for him) and Damon Salvatore, who's a huge cold and sadistic bastard who's jealous of seeing Stefan happy with Elena and insists on getting his vampire love, Katherine Pierce (who's our ancestor and who looks exactly like Elena) out from the tomb beneath the old church, only when we ask and sort of begged Bonnie Bennett and her grandmother, Sheila (who are witches) to use their magic and grimoire to disable the barrier magic in the tomb long enough for Damon to get in and get Katherine out, she was never there at all, but another vampire named Anna (which my brother, Jeremy fell for a short time after the death of Vicki Donovan, Matt's younger sister) came and managed to get her mother, Pearl out of the tomb.

When Founder's Day came, all of the tomb vampires (except for Anna, Pearl and another vampire named Harper who's killed by our uncle, John) appeared with the intention to killed off the founders of Mystic Falls but a watch device created by our grandfather, Jonathan Gilbert, incapacitated them all before Liz Forbes (Caroline Forbes mom) sheriffs dragged them into the basement of a building and burned them all, including the mayor, Richard Lockwood (Tyler Lockwood's father).

Later on, we found out the reason why both Tyler and his father were affected by the watch device, it's because they're werewolves, the mortal enemy of vampires and even more later on, we also found out that Katherine came back to Mystic Falls with Tyler's werewolf uncle, Mason Lockwood (who told Tyler that the only way to trigger the werewolf gene is by killing someone) to find a mystical moonstone that's hidden somewhere in the Lockwood manor.

As if that wasn't enough, our evil ancestor also kill Caroline in the hospital and she came back as a new vampire due to Bonnie telling Damon to give his blood to save her for Elena despite Bonnie's anger to vampires for indirectly causing her grandmother to die and my protestation and she drained the life and blood of a guy who was at the wrong place at the wrong time at the carnival a few days later, which filled her with guilt and sorrow. After that, Damon took Mason to the boarding house, tortured and killed him off that idiotic Damon dared to riled up Katherine by calling and telling her that Mason died by his hand, which resulted in her compelling Aunt Jenna to stabbed herself with a kitchen knife before she threaten all of us that she'll killed us or those closest to us one by one if we don't surrender the moonstone to her.

So now, Stefan, Damon, Me, Bonnie, Jeremy and Caroline got together in the boarding house to come up with a plan to lured Katherine to a room in the Lockwood manor (where the Masquerade Ball is held) spelled by Bonnie to prevent her from leaving or escaping so that me, Stefan and Damon could attack and incapacitate her before we dump her into the tomb under the church tomorrow night.

So, wish us luck and crossed fingers that it'll be a success tomorrow night, diary.

Yours, Asriel "Ash" Gilbert.
