READ IT: Which Vampire Diaries character will meet a terrible fate?

1. Clues about Katherine's Plan are Revealed
Katherine loves to torment people, so it makes sense that there is some sinister plan she dreamed up. But what is it? Tonight we'll see Katherine go crazy and get to work on that evil little plan of hers.

2. Jeremy Will Man Up
Jeremy has always been passive, letting terrible things happen around him because he just doesn't know what to do. But when something horrific happens, he feels compelled (no, not the vampire kind) to take charge and defend his sister and himself.

3. War is Declared
Jeremy, Alaric, Damon, and Stefan will prep their vampire warfare tools and set out to kill Katherine after she starts to put her maniac plan into action. There will be plenty of action and who knows what could happen -- Katherine is a force to be reckoned with!

4. Ian Somerhalder
So what if he is in every episode? Ian is super hot and Damon is hilarious. He's sure to spit out some clever one-liners in this episode too!

Which The Vampire Diaries mystery are you looking forward to finding out more about?

Hey J-14ers,

If you're at all like me, you spend Thursday nights watching The Vampire Diaries in suspense -- cringing at the thought of your favorite characters getting killed off the show.

Unfortunately the producers have promised that a character will be killed off very soon. And when I say killed off, I mean they are really gone forever and the actor is leaving the show.

I am so nervous for this week's episode! My best guess is that Matt (Zach Roerig) is going to get the axe, since he has gotten significantly less screen time and Katherine threatened his life. The show's producers also promised that Katherine is going to take mean and evil to a whole new level next week and really wreak havoc on Mystic Falls, which further solidifies my belief that Matt is a goner.

However, The Vampire Diaries does love to surprise us, so anyone could bite the dust.

Which character do you think is about to meet a terrible fate?

At each location, fans will have the opportunity to meet select cast members and participate in a Q&A session, get autographs, and watch a live performance by the band Sounds Under Radio. The only catch: you must buy a Vampire Diaries Event T-shirt to get a wristband to access the signing portion of the event. However, the Q&A and musical performance do not require a wristband.

Kat Graham currently stars as Bonnie on The Vampire Diaries. But did you know she's also a singer, dancer, producer, and model? She's even appeared in a slew of music videos, including "Somebody to Love" with Justin Bieber and Usher. And before The Vampire Diaries, she guest starred on shows like Lizzie McGuire and Malcolm in the Middle.

Kat graciously took time out of her jam-packed day (she's busy shooting in Atlanta now) to chat with J-14 about her music, the show, and so much more!

J-14: How did you get your start
Kat Graham: I started when I was five, when I moved from Switzerland to America. I was raised in Hollywood by my mother. I started off with Movie Surfers, Lizzie McGuire, and Hannah Montana, but as I got older I moved on to CSI, and Malcolm in the Middle while also back-up dancing for Missy Elliott and Pharell. When I was 14 or 15, I decided I wanted to do music, but I didn't really have anyone to help me, so I used the money I made from guest-starring and invested in my own recording studio and started to produce my own music. It got the attention of will.i.am, and he liked it so much that he put me on the song "I Got It from My Mama" and I went on a world tour. I started recording an album as a solo artist and winded up booking Vampire Diaries and here I am.

J-14: What is your music like and what influences you to write?
Kat: It's like early 90s meets futuristic -- a very modern pop twist. I wanted to bring back what I listened to growing up and what I embody with my style and incorporate that in my music. I definitely incorporate my real experiences like when I got my heart broken by this boy I was totally in love with and he left me. That's what "Cold Hearted Snake" is about -- finding your power when you get dumped, knowing that you have the choice to fight back.
