Every fan of the show knows that “The Vampire Diaries” has never been good at its bad guys. In fact, its most decent villain was deemed to be so good that he got his own spinoff TV series, referring to the Mikaelsons of “The Originals.”
As already hinted in the premiere episode, “The Vampire Diaries,” will have its new baddies or supernatural terrorists, known as the Heretics.
The Salvatore brothers and the Heretics will forge a deal which mean that if their group does not mess with the Heretics, the Heretics would also not mess with them. But each side will have their respective misgivings about the deal.
That certainly sets up the premise for a possible showdown between the vampires of Mystic Falls and the Heretics. The Heretics are vampire witches who shall bring new dangers to the residents of Mystic Falls.
The Heretics, it turns out, include the mother of Damon and Stefan, along with her clan and that is the reason why they will agree to a deal. But when their mother attempts to drive the humans out, that’s where the conflict begins and it is basically the storyline where Season 7 of “The Vampire Diaries” will revolve.
