Caroline, who will be paired to Stefan in the upcoming Season 7 of “The Vampire Diaries,” calls the new baddies as the supernatural terrorists. She also thinks that it will be a huge mistake on the part of Stefan and Damon to simply hand over Mystic Falls to the troublemaking newcomers.
But apparently, a deal has already been struck between the Salvatore brothers and the Heretics which mean that if their group does not mess with the Heretics, the Heretics would also not mess with them.
It was also shown later in the clip that Stefan telling Damon that deal was not good at all before it cuts to Bonnie who tells everyone that they must stop and destroy the evil.
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. Based on the still photos of “The Vampire Diaries” Season 7 released recently, Caroline will be able to encounter the vampire witches firsthand and she will fall under a painful spell.
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 with them. 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.
