Second Choice

Why? Why did everyone love Elena? I was always the second choice. When someone was done with Elena they would go for me. Damon used me for blood, Tyler used me for hormone control, Matt was the only one who didn't use me, but he couldn't love me. How was it fair that Elena had everyone? I was never the one who someone cared for the most. Even Bonnie, one of my best friends preferred Elena. Elena thought differently, she thought she was the one with a miserable life, but how could that be true?

I sighed slipping into bed. I quickly fell asleep dreaming of a day where I would be the one loved.

Next morning

I woke up and noticed that I wasn't in my bed. I looked around the room and noticed I was in Elena's bedroom. I figured that we had a sleepover, stayed up really late, and then I forgot that we had a sleepover in the first place. I fingered my brown hair- wait BROWN hair!? I slowly walked over to Elena's vanity, trying to reassure myself that everything was fine. I step in front of the mirror and let a scream.

"Elena, are you alright!?" Jeremy runs in looking worried.

"Um ya, I'm fine Jeremy. Go um get ready for school" I tell him freaked out.

"Are you sure?" He asks me hesitantly.

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you very much" He nods and walks back to his room. I sigh then grab my- Elena's phone. I find my number and listen anxiously as the phone rings.

"Hello? This is Caroline" I hear my voice ask.

"Elena!? It's Caroline! Where are you!?" I shout into her ear.

"Caroline, thank goodness, I'm in your room" She tells me.

"Okay, look I'm coming there. Elena be careful to not lose control. My mom is in the house and you've never been a vampire before" I tried to tell myself that she would never hurt my mom, but she had never been a vampire before. I'm not used to drinking from the vain so Elena should have my natural control, but she has never had to face the hunger before. I shake my head ridding my head from those thoughts and grab Elena's car keys. I stop for a moment. Relishing in the feel of a heart beat going through me then start running towards the car.

I pull into my drive, noticing that my mom's car is absent I run strait to my room instead of waiting at the door.

"Elena" I scream. "Are you okay!?"

"Ya, I'm fine, are you?" Elena asks getting up from the bed. I nod, but then sit down as Elena grabs my hands pulling me down to sit on the bed. "How did this happen?" Elena whispers tears in her eyes.

"I have no idea, but we'll figure it out, we always do. Right now though we need a game plan" Elena nods a silent agreement. "I think that we should just lay low for a while. We know almost everything about each other so it shouldn't be too hard. We'll pretend that were each other until we figure something out, okay?" She nods again and I smile giving her a hug. "We'll figure out what happened then find a way to switch us back, I promise"

"Thanks Care, but one problem. I'm… thirsty" Elena looks down as if ashamed that she was. I thought back to it and realized that I hadn't fed for a while.

"Oh, um, well I think that you should just use blood bags. I've got a few in the garage and if you ever run out just go to the Boarding House. Damon always has spare blood bags" I tell her grinning.

"Okay, thanks. I'll go get one" She speeds out of the room coming back before I even noticed she was gone. She came back but the blood bag was completely full. Elena looked nervous and I inwardly slapped myself for not thinking that she had never drunk human blood before.

"Elena, don't worry. Nobody died to give that blood and your body is already used to drinking it. You'll be fine, trust me" She looks at the bag then at me for a moment, then back to the bag. She slowly uncaps the bag, bringing to her lips. She takes a small sip first, but then digs her nails into the bag and draining it within seconds. I could see the longing in her eyes for more blood, but I also knew she needed to learn control quickly so I take the bag from her and throw it in the trash can. "Good job Elena, that was really good for a first try"

"Thanks, what do we do now?" She asks wiping off her mouth with a napkin that I kept in my room when I was, well messy.

"Now we go to the Grill and see if there are any weird new people roaming about" We both head out and drive to the Grill. I go and sit at one of the barstools ordering a virgin strawberry daiquiri. Elena sits next to me ordering the same.

"So do you see anyone?" She asks me watching everyone intently.

"Not yet, do you?" I was never answered because then I see HIM come up (No not the AMAZING band. Listen to the song vampire heart! It's amazing).

"Hello Love, what are you doing here?" His English accent asked he turned towards Elena who he obviously thought was me.

"What are you doing here, Klaus" I let attitude seep into my voice, annoyed that he just had to show up making my life miserable as always.

"Ah, and my precious doppelganger, I truly hope that you are keeping out of trouble" Klaus asks a small smirk playing at his lips. I give him my signature "Hmph!" which I promptly remember is not mine anymore. Klaus looks amused and I storm out of the Grill.
