Somewhere in the world, Klaus was standing in his room, painting her again for the millionth time. The girl from his dreams. His Queen.
Paints were sprawled all over his desk and the only sound in the room was the stroking of brush on the canvas.
His blue eyes were settled on the canvas in concentration as his eyebrows were knitted together. His curly blonde hair was spread all over his forehead.
Anyone who looked at him would say that the only thing on this entire planet that mattered to him was the women that he was painting.
His hands were delicately painting every inch of her face in fondness. Her hazel brown eyes and brunette hair with few strands of hair on her face. Pink lips with a tinge of red in them. Her glowing pink cheeks and her dimples were inflicted by the smile on her face. She looked like an angel.
He was watching at his now finished portrait as his train of thoughts was cut off by somebody knocking on his door. He immediately got annoyed.
"Come in," Klaus says turning towards the person
"Sir, I have some information for you." The man tells him
"What is it?" Klaus ask still annoyed by the interruption
"It's about the doppelganger, we found her." The man informs Klaus
"I'm not interested in finding Katerina now." Klaus tells him
"Not Katherine sir. A new human doppelganger. She exists." The man tells him
"Well, where is she then?" Klaus ask him now more curious
"Mystic Falls." The man replies as Klaus raises his eyebrows
"Mystic Falls huh.." Klaus says and turns back around only to stop by the person again
"There's one more thing sir." The person says as Klaus turns around back and look at him
"What could possibly be more important than this?" Klaus ask irritated
"Her." The man says pointing at the portrait in Klaus's room.
Klaus looked at the painting he was pointing at and look back at the man.
"What about her?" Klaus ask
"She was sighted in Richmond by a few vampires. One of them quickly informed us as soon as they could." He tells Klaus who looks at him in shock
"Are you sure it was her?" Klaus ask him
"Yes. One of the vampires said she was looking for a guy named Slater. She was trying to get some information from him so we went to search for him but he was found dead in his own house." The man says as Klaus gets angry
"And you let her out of your sight. She is a bloody Queen and anyone who is my enemy could go after her. She must be protected. I want every single vampire to look for her then the second you find her, do not let her out of your sight and kill anyone who even looks at her in a bad way. Got it." Klaus exclaims to the person and he quickly leaves not wanting to face the Original's wrath

Meanwhile back in Mystic Falls, Reyna Sommers was avoiding every one of her friends and family like a plague.
It's been a month since the dinner party and many things have happened. Elijah was daggered and the evil slut vampire Katherine Pierce was out of the tomb since Elijah's compulsion wear off when he died temporarily. The Martin witches were dead.
Matt found out that Caroline is a vampire and before Caroline could compel him, he ran away. She has not seen him ever since. The vampire was devastated. Tyler is still MIA with the werewolf bitch Jules. Good for him. Damon, Stefan, Theo, and Rose are still trying to find a way to save Elena. Reyna's father went back to New Orleans for work. And let's not forget Bonnie is dating Jeremy. Yes, my baby brother. So, ya everything was normal in Mystic Falls.
So back to Reyna. Why was she ignoring everyone? Well, let's just say that a few weeks after the dinner party Reyna found out something about herself that scared the shit out of her and she was losing control because of it.
She has no idea how to act around her friends while keeping this secret from everyone. But she decided that it was time to tell her friends about this situation since it was something she can't hide. She was right now standing in front of the Salvatore House where she asked everyone to meet.
She could hear talking coming from the library as she walked hesitantly inside the room. As soon as she walked in she, all the heads in the room turned towards her.
"Hey." Reyna greets them waving awkwardly
"Hey." They greet her back
"So what did you want to talk about?" Rose ask
"Me??" Reyna ask as everyone looked at her confused
"Yes, Reyna you called us here." Caroline says
"Ya right. I did." Reyna says and she stood in front of everyone
"Luna, are you okay?" Theo ask his twin sister
"Ya. Yes, I am." Reyna tells him
Everyone could see that she was nervous about something. She was fiddling with ber fingers and was literally sweating.
"Reyna, what is it? You are scaring us." Elena says now walking towards her sister
"It's....just....that.....aummm...I'm....." Reyna talks pausing between every word as her mind went back to the day she found out.
