On the coast of Los Angeles, Elena, Caroline, and Bonnie were wearing bikinis and lying on beach chairs under a rented parasol. They were drinking juice and playing with the new phone they bought yesterday, chatting about gossip.
After Alice came here, she also changed into a bikini and rented a beach chair to lie down beside them.
"I thought you would come with your boyfriend.”Seeing that Alice was alone, Carolyn said with some disappointment. She wanted to see what was so special about this guy that Alice, a rich young lady, had taken a fancy to.
"You will never imagine what I have encountered before.”Alice became mysterious as soon as she laid down.
"What did you encounter?" Bonnie asked in a timely manner.
"I met someone who looks exactly like Elena. They look about the same age. Her name is Catherine Pierce.”Alice said in a story-telling tone. In order to increase the credibility of her story, she even took out her phone and showed them the photos she had secretly taken of Catherine.
Her words immediately attracted the attention of the three girls. When they saw the photo on Alice's phone, they were all shocked. There were many people in the world who looked alike, but it was a bit fake that they were carved from the same mold. After all, twins could not look exactly the same.
"Elena, have you ever taken this photo?”Carolyn turned to Elena. She thought that Alice was playing around with Elena's photo.
Elena carefully recalled and shook her head.""I didn't take this selfie."
"Then, is it possible that someone secretly took photos of them? Is that set of clothes in the photo yours?”Bonnie asked.
Elena shook her head again.”
Carolyn immediately said with an expression that said,""Then this photo must have been photoshopped.”
Then, Alice was stared at by the three girls with a look of boredom.
Alice was speechless.
"Alright, just take it that I photoshopped it. However, I really encountered a very strange thing before. Do you believe that people can stay young forever? Previously, I saw a young girl about seventeen or eighteen years old call another young girl about the same age as her mother.”
"There's a story called 'The Wolf Comes'.”Elena said with a smile.
Alice immediately showed a dead-fish-like expression.""Even if the wolf is here, I still have two chances. You can't deny the authenticity of my second story just because my first story is a lie.”
Carolyn, who was playing with her phone, asked calmly,""Then tell me in detail."
"You won't believe it even if I tell you. Let's not talk about it anymore. Actually, if you observe carefully, you'll realize that this world is actually not simple.”At this moment, Alice's temperament was special. She was like a mysterious old witch in thick clothes in a divination house.
"I know. Last time, you told me about witches, holy spirits, vampires, and werewolves.”Elena teased her.
They skipped this supernatural topic and started chatting about other gossip.

On the other side, Nadia and Catherine chatted for a long time in the cafe. Nadia also told Catherine about what happened between her and Alice.
"Are you saying that you were forced to do that kind of thing with her in order to find me?”Catherine was in disbelief.
"Perhaps at the beginning. After a few times, I realized that I really liked her a little, so I agreed to be her girlfriend. Not only did this allow me to obtain love, but it also allowed me to find you. It was killing two birds with one stone.”Nadia said with a smile. In fact, it was just as she said. Alice's magic spell could make Nadia fall in love with Alice forever. However, if there was no love in the beginning, how could she be under such a spell?
"Does she like you too?" Catherine took a few deep breaths and asked again after calming down.
"She's still single." Nadia didn't answer the question. In fact, she wasn't sure if Alice really loved her.
Catherine sighed helplessly when she heard that. As smart as Catherine was, how could she not understand the meaning behind Nadia's words? If it wasn't for the fact that the mask on her face required Alice's magic power, she really wanted to send the guy who stole her daughter's heart to the grave. Now, she did not want to care about this matter. At least Nadia was happy now, right?

In the evening, in Alice's villa, Castie, a failed author and part-time chef, was preparing dinner. Alice and the other three girls were sitting in the living room chatting when the doorbell rang.
"Maybe my friend is here." Alice said to the girls. She got up and went to the surveillance camera at the gate to take a look. From the screen, she saw that it was Catherine and Nadia at the gate. She pressed the button to open the courtyard door, and the door to the courtyard outside opened automatically.
Ten seconds later, the two of them walked into the villa.
"Your house is not bad." Catherine commented as she looked at the decor of Alice's house. However, when she saw Elena on the sofa in the living room, she was stunned. Nadia was also stunned.
Alice introduced Catherine and Nadia to Elena and the others. When she introduced them, she said that Catherine and Nadia were sisters, not mother and daughter. Otherwise, it would be too shocking.
"It seems that you still have a lot to explain to us.”Nadia glanced at Elena and said to Alice meaningfully.
The two of them were shocked that there was a doppelganger of Catherine here, but Elena and the others didn't feel the same way. Catherine no longer looked like her original self. Under Alice's magic mask, Catherine now had the face of a celebrity like Jennifer Lawrence, and not the original face that looked exactly like Elena.
Alice then smiled and introduced Elena and the others to the two of them."" He's Elena Gilbert, my cousin. This is Caroline forbes, and this is Bonnie Bennett. They're all my best friends.”
The few of them shook hands and got to know each other. When Elena shook hands with Catherine, she had a special feeling."Have we met before? You give me a very familiar feeling."
" I don't think so." Catherine shook her head." We've never met before. You must have mistaken me for someone else."”
"Maybe." Elena withdrew her hand.
Counting the two girls who had come to visit, there were now six people in the house. Alice suggested a small party, and no one objected to her suggestion.
During the party, Catherine stared at her doppelganger, Elena, from time to time. Her gaze was a little ambiguous, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Alice walked to Catherine's side and warned her in a low voice,""Now that you have a new identity and a new face, you don't have to hide anymore. Don't have any ideas about Elena.”
