My name is Elena Alicia Gilbert. I'm the Adoptive Daughter of Grayson Gilbert and his Wife, Miranda Gilbert née Sommers, as well as being the Older Twin Sister of Emily Miranda Gilbert and the Adoptive Sister of Jeremy Grayson Gilbert, and the Adoptive Niece of John Gilbert and Jenna Sommers. Emily and I are actually John's Biological Daughters, making us Grayson's Nieces and Jeremy's Cousins.

But that's not all. Our Biological Mother, Isobel Flemming, is a Descendant of the Petrova Bloodline, an old Witch Bloodline which contains Magical Blood Properties due to the birth of the Petrova Doppelgangers, which are born every five hundred years, and my Sister and I are Doppelgangers. John and Grayson aren't just Brothers. They're Half-Brothers. Grayson's Father remarried after Grayson's Mother, Alicia, died. He unknowingly married a distant relative of Lockwood Family, am Untriggered Labonair Werewolf named Delphine Labonair.

Because John came from a Werewolf Bloodline and Isobel came from a Petrova Bloodline, two Doppelgangers were able to be born. One Human. One Hybrid. I'm the Hybrid. A Werewitch. Half Werewolf, half Witch. I found out that I was a Witch when I was a little girl of only five years old. When I was young, my Adoptive Family, including my own Father and Sister, would neglect me and it made me severely depressed and unstable, not in the sense of where I'm suicidal, as I never got the same amount of attention my own Twin got.

Because I was depressed, my Magic reacted badly and I set the living room curtains on fire. Realising that I had Magic, Grayson and Miranda took me to the only other Witches that lived in Mystic Falls, the Bennett' told Sheila Bennett, who just happened to be Emily's Friend's, Bonnie Bennett, Grandmother, who was dubbed as Grams by the younger generation of Mystic Falls, that I could do Magic and they didn't know what to do. Sheila calmly told them that she'd help me as much as she could.

So, most week days after school, and on the weekends, I would go to the Bennett Household, while Bonnie, who didn't know that she was Witch, would go and spend some days and some weekends at the Gilbert Household or at the Forbes Household with Emily's and Bonnie's other friend, Caroline Forbes. I still remember how one day I accidentally set the classroom on fire because Emily, Caroline, and Bonnie were picking on me and calling me names, and after that, I had to stay with Grams to help get control of my temper so that my Magic didn't react negatively.

"I wish I was normal."Seven year old Elena Gilbert suddenly said in a depressed voice. While she had said it under her breathe, it had been loud enough for Sheila to hear as they finished doing simple Floating Spell that made objects move.

"Honey, you are normal."Sheila said, looking straight into Elena's dark hazel brown eyes with her own piercing cocoa brown gaze.

"No I'm not, Grams. If I was normal, then I'd be like Emily."Elena denied.

"Oh honey, just because you have Magic doesn't mean you're anything less then normal."Sheila stated as she pulled Elena into a side hug."Besides, you have Magic for a reason."

"What reason? And why just me? You said that having Magic runs in the Family, so why do I have it and Emily and Jeremy don't? Or my parents?"Elena said questionably.

They may have been innocent questions to Elena at the time but to Sheila, they were everything but innocent. They were questions that she shouldn't answer but one day, one way or another, whether the Gilbert's and Isobel liked it or not, the truth was going to come out.

"Because you have something special, Baby."Elena looked up at Sheila in confusion."You have what they call the Eternal Flame."

"The Eternal Flame? What's that?"Elena asked curiously.

"The Eternal Flame, my child, is what lays deep inside your Magic. It's the core of your Magic."Sheila said and Elena squealed when she was grabbed and her stomach was attacked by Sheila tickling her."Do you remember what I told you about the four Elemental Animals?"Sheila said as she stopped tickling Elena, who nodded."List those Animals in order, baby."

"The Dryads of Earth, the Phoenixs of Fire, the Leviathans of Water, and the Sylphs of Wind."Elena listed them easily.

"That's right, baby."Sheila said, smiling down at Elena."Now, most of Ancestors believed that we got our Magic from the Elemental Animals, but no one truly knows if it's true or not, other then what's been written down in our history books."Sheila stated and Elena nodded, showing that she was listening."Now, your Ancestors believed they were gifted a rare type of fire from the Phoenixs and that it lays dormant within them and it can only be awakened when they truly have connected with their spiritual self, and you know something?"Elena looked at Sheila with a raised eyebrow."I believe that it's true."

"How?"Elena asked innocently.

"Why, baby, didn't you tell me that you feel more connected with the fire element when we use candles and draw on the fire element to do our Spells?"Elena blinked before she nodded and her eyes were wide."I believe, honey, that one day, you'll awaken your Eternal Flame and be the next most powerful Witch in the world."

"You think so, Grams?"Elena asked excitedly.

"I know so."Sheila said, smiling widely at Elena.

Elena came out of her memory as she stood before the gravestone marked Sheila Bennett."I miss you, Grams."Elena whispered softly as her eyes stung with tears.

With everything that had happened within the last forty-eight hours, nearly seventy-two hours, with Katherine being at the Masquerade Ball, which everyone, except Emily and Elena, knew about and had a plan to kill Katherine, Emily had gone to said Ball after being lied to and Elena didn't even know what was happening and it wasn't like she'd actually go to the Ball even if they had still left her out of it.

Followed after that, Emily had gotten kidnapped that same night and was held hostage for reasons Elena didn't understand, but got the gist of it with Katherine being the main reason Emily was kidnapped. But Elena just needed to be away from everyone. It hurt, knowing that no one would tell her that her own Sister had been taken. At this very moment, Elena needed the one person, the only person who ever truly cared about her and that person was gone.

It had been three months since Sheila had died from the exhaustion of undoing the Spell, with hers and Bonnie's help, that Emily put on the Tomb, which contained the Vampires and was were Katherine Pierce, who was Elena's and Emily's Ancestor and look-a-like, was said to be as well, only she wasn't there. The reason why Sheila even opened the Tomb in the first place was so that Damon could leave Mystic Falls with Katherine. Elena also decided that it was time that she let everyone know that she knew about the Supernatural and has since she was five. Bonnie and Emily were jealous when they found out.

Bonnie was jealous because Sheila had been teaching Elena longer then she had taught her own flesh and blood. Emily was jealous because she was told by Sheila that she was just a Human while Elena was a Witch and she had gained their Witch Heritage because she was the oldest but that wasn't the key reason, not that they knew. However, when Damon realised that Katherine wasn't in the Tomb, they all left the area, concerned for Sheila and Damon for different reasons, they thought that they had sealed the Tomb again, however, the Tomb Vampires had escaped. Luckily, that had been taken care of.

Bonnie had asked Elena to go give Sheila the water that the elderly Witch had asked for while she made sure that everything was locked up, seeing as Emily, who was on the phone to Stefan Salvatore, her Vampire Boyfriend, and Elena, who considered the Bennett Household a second home, were going to stay the night to help keep an eye on Sheila.

"Here you go, Grams."Elena said gently as she put the cup down by Sheila, on the nightstand. She realised that Sheila hadn't answered her, glancing at her, she realised that the older Bennett Witch was asleep and started to pull the cover up, only to freeze and glance up at Sheila's face with wide eyes."Grams."Elena whispered, almost afraid to raise her voice."Grams!"Elena said louder and sat down beside Sheila and gently started shaking her."Grams, wake up!"The brunette exclaimed fearfully."Grams? Grams!?"Elena choked out as tears formed in her eyes and she started to sob."BONNIE!"Elena cried for the younger Bennett Witch and heard Bonnie and Emily race into the room. Bonnie let out a wail and darted around to the other side of the bed."Wake up!"Elena cried.

"She's not breathing!"Bonnie exclaimed."Sh-she's not breathing!"Bonnie choked out as Emily ran out of the room to get the phone and call for an ambulance.

"Please, wake up!"Elena and Bonnie cried in unison.

As Emily was calling for the ambulance, Elena remembered that she and Bonnie were Witches. Elena grabbed the Grimoire and started looking through it hurriedly, along with Bonnie as Emily came back into the room.

"She'll be fine."Emily said reassuringly to her twin and Bonnie.

"No, no!"Bonnie shook her head.

"I can fix this!"Elena exclaimed, believing that she could, even when she knew that she couldn't and wasn't allowed to bring back the dead."I know I can."

"Elena, Elena!"Emily and Bonnie, who had realised that there was no way they could bring the dead back, called out to the hysterical short haired brunette.

"I can fix this!"Elena cried as Bonnie pulled her into a hug."No!"Elena moaned and burst into tears along with Bonnie as Emily pulled them into a group hug. As Emily hugged them and hushed them, none of them noticed a soft fiery glow appear under Elena's shirt, coming from her heart.

Glancing at the time on her phone, she saw that it was it was only Seven AM. Blinking, the short haired brunette realised that she had been out here since Five-thirty AM. Turning around, the short haired brunette gasped as she found a man, wearing a suit, standing behind her.
