The next day (game day) after dinner with Stefan and Damon and the Scooby gang, Stefanie came up to me at school.

"Hey, Ellie wait up." He calls out to me.

"Oh hey, Cool Jacket." I grin.

"I just- I know that this is probably weird and we're not dating or anything but... I wanted to give you this." He says and then shows me the necklace.

"Um, Stef, I like you but not like that. You should give that necklace to someone special." I tell him with a sheepish smile.

"But you are special." He says.

"Urgh. Fine. Just cause it's cute. But this does not mean there's anything between us." I say as I turn and get my hair out of my neck.

"I know don't worry." He says as he puts the necklace on me.

"Good luck on the game by the way." I smile at him.

"Thanks."

After that, some time passed and it was the game. Personally, I just seated on the bleachers with Vic and Jer watching the game that maybe wasn't gonna happen if Damon killed Tanner.

"Somebody help!" We hear Matty scream. Oops. I look at Bonnie and she's figured out why she has been obsessed with those numbers and is freaking out, so I go to her quickly.

"Bon calm down. Everything is fine." I tell her.

"Ellie I saw the numbers..." She whispers.

"It's not your fault Cinnabon. Besides and I say this with total sensitivity, it's just Tanner." I say softly and she cracks a smile. "Everything is gonna be fine. I'll go get Ty he'll take us home. Okay?" She nods and I go get Tyler. He agrees to take me and Bonnie to hour houses.

That night I guess Damon watched me sleep like the creep he is. I honestly don't know. I'm a deep sleeper. I don't wake up easily.

A couple of weeks later was the day of the Founder's Ball. I went alone (actually not true. I took Bon-Bon.) and had a really fun talk with Day. Here's how it went:

"Hey Ocean Eyes, what are you doing at this boring party?" I ask him casually.

"I could ask you the same thing." He replies.

"You could. But I asked first." I shrug.

"I'm just interested in the... historical artifacts." He shrugs.

"Oh yeah. Mrs. Lockwood is really interested in a watch my parents had. I'm not giving it to her tough. It's Jer's." I tell him.

"Ooh, feisty." He smirks.

"Eh." I shrug "But there's some really useless stuff here." I say. "Nothing magical you know?"

"Magical?" He asks casually.

"Yeah, you know. Magical. Like crystal balls or magic pendants."

"Magic pendants?" He's now getting suspicious. Perfect! I shrug and go away, "See you, Ocean Eyes!"

Then I didn't see Damon anymore so Steffy probably got to him. And I confirmed that when the kids died in the cemetery. Oops. Bad Damon. Vicky wasn't there though. But before that happened we had a really sexy 'Sexy Suds Carwash' fundraiser. I was here in a two-piece having fun. Yay. I did notice Stefan's eyes on me and that was kinda creepy. After that, there was the whole thing with Logan Fell (kind of different this time) and he ended up 'dead'. Then during the time jump in the show (which was about a month) it was pretty chill. We hung out, had fun, etc. The Scooby gang met in the Tree a lot of times. I haven't shown the vamps tough. Eh. We also hung out at the boarding house which was fun.

And I have some gossip. So... I believe that, from my sources, which was me asking around, Matty-blue and Care are hanging out. I'm so happy for them! I don't really like their dynamic but they're happy and who am I to put myself in between that? BTW I got that from a girls' night with the Scooby girls. Vic and Bon say they are more focused on other things though. Eh. I just hope Bon-Bon ends up with Jer-bear. We would be sisters-in-law!

And then it was Halloween and I decided to tell the brothers everything. Even about the Gods – they let me tell them. Said that even if they go babbling no one would believe them anyway. So after a great day and drama-free Halloween party (in which I went dressed as a vampire *wink*wink*) I apparated to the boarding house. Not inside though. Mind you, I have manners. And rang the doorbell. After a few moments, Damon opened the door.

"Ellie, what are you doing here?" He asks me.

"Um, I gotta talk to you and Stef," I tell him, "Mind if I come in?"

"Not at all. Come on in." He says and I grin while entering their house. "What is it?"

"Um, sorry, Damie, Gotta tell you both," I say as I sit down (more like lay down) on their couch. "Where's bunny killer?" I grin.

"He's upstairs" He answers off-handily while pouring a drink then his eyes widen, and he puts the bottle down as he realizes what I just said. "What did you say?"

"What?" I ask innocently.

"You just said bunny-" He gets cut off by Stefan who's just arrived.

"Ellie. What's going on?" Steffy asks.

"I need to tell you guys something." I say, "You better sit down though." And as Day starts walking to the couch I stop him, "Wait. Can you pour me a drink, Dames?" He nods and sighs and then pours me one. Now we're sitting here with drinks in our hands in silence. Awkward... They're also really anxious. Poor things...

"What is it El?"

"You first have to promise not to tell anyone. Well, you can tell the Scooby gang and Jenna. They already know." I tell them.

"We won't say anything," Damon says as he glances at Stef.

"I know," I say simply.

"What do you know Ellie?" Day asks me.

"I know a lot of things, actually," I say "About the past, the future. You pick."

"What do you mean, El?" Stefan asks tots confused. I don't blame him. I am being pretty vague.

"Uh – this is harder than I thought..." I mutter, "I don't really know how to start"

"The beginning El, try there," Damon says.

"Right. Uh, it all started when I died." I say and they're in shock now, "Ok, I shouldn't have started there..."

"What do you mean you died?" Stefanie, like the worried guy he is, asks and I ignore him.

"You know what. I'll try a different approach. I know you're vampires."

"What?" Damon croaks.

"Yeah, I've known you for a pretty long time, though. I know of your past too. The future though is a bit blurry. But I know about a lot of other things too." I tell them.

"You're not making sense El," Damon tells me as he comes to kneel on the floor beside me. He must think I'm mental.

"I used to watch this show," I tell them biting my lower lip glancing between a frozen Stefan and a confused, concerned in shock Damon. "It was called The Vampire Diaries. All your lives were in it and the main character's name was Elena Gilbert. That is how I know stuff. It was my favorite show." I then frown, "Ok. Now that's a lie. It wasn't my favorite. Maybe one of them."

"What are you talking about?" Stefan asks. The poor thing he's really confused.

"There was a day I was in a car with my dad. I was fifteen. We had an accident and I died." I say and now they're looking at me like I've grown another head. "I woke up in Venice. Well, not Venice. It just looked like it. And I met two Gods. Hades and Persephone. They gave me two options. Go to the Elysian Fields or be reborn in a universe."

"Ellie, you're not making sense. Dying at fifteen? Greek gods?" Stefan asks me now totally concerned with my mental health.

"I know, Stefanie. I know that this sounds mental and I sound like a looney person. But it's true." I then take a deep breath, "I chose the second option. Didn't like the fields. That shit was too perfect and not real. You know?" They nod uncertain, "So I went with option b. And the great thing was I got to choose the universe I was reborn in. And I chose The Vampire Diaries."

"What exactly are you saying El?" Damon asks me.

"Hades – the little bitch – made me be reborn as Elena fucking Gilbert. The main character. I'm not though. The main character, I mean. But that is how I know things. Like how you two are vamps or how I-" I trail off.

"How you what, El?" Dames asks.

"How I look like Kitty Kat. The reason both of you stayed. It all goes back to Kat. But that doesn't matter anyway. I know how this sounds but I'll prove it."

"How?" Steffy asks.

"Uh. I know how you go all ripper of Monterey when you feed on humans and go out of your bunny diet. That's how you met Sexy Lexi, who I want to meet by the way." I say and he gapes at me as I look to Damon "And about your years in the fifties Damie." Damon just looks at me wide-eyed. "I know this is totally weird and mad but-"

"I believe you, Ellie." Damon finally speaks up.

"You do?" I ask him and he nods. "Good cause that's not all."

"What?" Stefan asks as if there was nothing else I could probably say to surprise him.

"The Gods. They actually gave me gifts. We have this weird thing going on you know. They're like my parents by now... That's why my eyes are different than Kat's. That's why they're golden and silver. It's a mark of their gifts."

"What gifts Ellie?" Damon asks me with a frown.

"Uh. Gift of magic and nature. I'm kind of a witch."

"A witch?" Steffy questions as Damon says, "Kind of?"

"Well, yeah, my magic doesn't really have rules. Kinda. In my opinion, it's way cooler than a normal witch, like Cinnabon." I say and then apparate to the other couch with a grin. "I can call you a bunny if you want Stef."

"That's – uh" Steffy, the poor guy is at loss for words.

"That's awesome," Damon smirks as he picks my legs up, sit-downs, and then places them on his lap. "Wait does that mean you... remember the day we met?"

"The day you met?" Stefan asks confused.

"Uh, yeah. I'm immune to compulsion. We all are though. I made everyone get vervain tattoos." I grin.

"That's pretty smart," Stefan says. "Now the tattoos make sense. It's the Gods right?"

"Yeah. Pretty cool. Hades won a game of cards, so I had to get his name. I don't mind" I shrug, "I'm thinking of getting two more... I don't know... Day?"

"Yeah?" He says looking at me.

"You know how I told you I knew a lot of stuff?"

"Like a few minutes ago?" He smirks and I nod.

"Well, I also know why you're here. Why you both are."

"What are you talking about El?" Stef asks.

"It's all about Kathrine. You, Stef are here because of my face." When he opens his mouth to deny it I cut him off, "You Dames are here because you want Kitty Kat back." I then look at Stefan who's confuse and look at Damon for permission to go on and he nods. "Damon is trying to get the tomb under the old church open. He thinks Kathrine is in there with the other vamps."

"What?"
"What do you mean I think?"

"I mean, she's not in there Day," I say simply.

"But she has to be. She was taken... She wouldn't just abandon me..." He says as he stands up making me stand up with him.

"You don't have to believe me, Ocean Eyes. I'll help you open it anyway." I say, "I'm here for you. Both of you." Then I look at them and at the time, "I better get home now. I just... Bye guys." And I apparated home, leaving them there, after just dropping an atomic bomb on them.

Oops.
