I'm sick. Never a good sign. I had to stay home from school today because I threw up in the middle of the night(Nasty!), So I spent a LOT fo time in bed thinking of what to write next. Ok, if you don't like this story or if the characters are too OOC, like Katherine, then don't blame me cause I had a KILLER headache when I thought of it.
Chapter One
Best Friends Forever
Elena Gilbert stood in front of her bedroom mirror as Katherine Peirce her basicly twin, zipped up the tight straples black dress Elena was wearing. They had been best friends for three years now and Elena had known about Katherine for two and a half years. Katherine was a vampire. She was born in the 1500's and first came to Mystic Falls in 1864. after about 7 months of knowing Katherine, Katherine told her. Ever since they first met they had been vest friends...well actually when they first met Katherine shoved Elena against a wall and threatened to kill her. But none the less. They were close friends now.
"Matt will be just drooling over you." Katherine smiled reasuringly, looking at Elena through the mirror.
"Ya think?" Elena asked. Tonight she was trying to impress Matt Donovan. Matt and her had been best friends longer then Katherine or Bonnie and Meredith had even known Elena. Matt had been showing interest for over a year now and Elena was finally single, so he'd tried extra hard these last few weeks.
"Think? Honey I don't think, I Know." Elena and Katherine laughed and swopped place's. Katherine was wearing the exact same dress as Elena but a deep blood red.
"So, who are you going after tonight?" Elena asked trying to unstick the zipper of Katherine's dress.
"I don't know. Maybe Tyer. Maybe that new kid James."
"Isn't James like greek or something?" Elena asked, pictureing the image of the extremely hot new kid at Robert E. Lee High School.
"Yep." Katherine said as they walked into Jeremy's and Elena's joint bathroom to curl Elena's hair and put on make-up.
15 minute's later, Elena was done finger curling her hair and had it hanging down just like Katherine's. They were both standing in front of the mirror doing there make-up when Jeremy's latest girlfriend Anna walked in.
"Katherine!" She exclaimed as she pressed herself against the showers wall in fear.
"Um... Are you alright Anna?" Elena asked, confused and holding back laughter.
"Yes, Anna. Whatever is the matter?" Katherine said between laughs.
"Y-your supposed to be dead!" Anna shrieked now in control of herself.
"Annabell, I am not dead. I am not in the tomb. And I have to go, now." Katherine said then dragged Elena into the bedroom and shutting the Bathroom door. "Was she one of the..." Elena let the sentence hang loose as she saw Katherine smile and nod.
"Come on. We gotta get going." Katherine said they handed Elena a Black handbag, leather jacket, and black pair on strappy heals.
Elena slowly took them and then watched Katherine put on the same things but in red. "Why did we decide to wear the exact same thing, again?"
" Because we thought it would be cool to see who knew which was which." Katherine said as she dragged Elena into the Dark Purple convertable Ketherine had gotten Elena for her 17th birthday.
The car ride was filled with silence while they both jumped up and down in they're seat's from excitment.
"Oh My God! I'm so glad you guys are here!" Bonnie screamed and embraced them in a tight embrace when Katherine and Elena stepped into the school gym. Elena gasped for air and Katherine laughed at the look on her face.
"Hey, guys." Meredith said, walking up with Caroline and they're boyfriends Tory and Dan.
"Hey." Bonnie returned. caroline and Bonnie didn't exactly get along as well as they used to.
"Caroline! Bonnie! Not Tonight!" Katherine snapped at them. Yes Katherine can be a real bitch when she want's to be but usually she's just the sweet best friend Elena and everyone else was used to.
The rest of the night went by slowly. Katherine and Elena laughing at the looks on guys faces when they saw them. Bonnie and and Caroline fighting. Bonfires being lit. Elena and Matt ALMOST kissing. Katherine ALMOST biting James. And the reason for the ALMOST was one Katherine hated to even think about.
Elena was inch's away from pressing her soft strawberry flavoured lips against Matt's mouth, when someone yanked her off him and started yelling at her.
"Katherine! What the hell are you doing back here!" Elena looked up to see two icey blue eyes boring into hers angrily.
"Dude, let go. Katherine's over there..." Elena drunkily pointed to where Katherine had run off to, quite amused that this duffus got tricked by there little outfit game.
Katherine was inch's away from sinking her sharp pearly-white fangs into James's neck when a hand wraped around her arm and pulled her away.
"What the hell is your problem man..." Katherine yelled at him in her drunken state.
"Katherine! Snap out of it! Why are you here? Damon's around here somewhere, we have to find him..." Katherine groaned as Stefan kept on talking and talking and talking. See, this is why she pretended to die.
"Yeah yeah yeah, Stefan...Wait. Damon's here? Oh no..." Katherine left the sentence hang and ran to where she had last seen Elena only to find Damon gripping Elena's arm so tightly that Elena was screaming in pain and Damon was shouting "Don't lie to me Katherine!"
Katherine was so enraged that she could feel her fangs extanding an extra 3 inches and yanked Damon away from Elena shouting "Get off her you IDIOT!"
Damon went flying into the brick wall that was near the tree Elena was leaning against. Katherine ran up to Elena after throwing Damon off her and gave her a tight hug.
"Elena! Elena, are you ok!" Katherine shouted at her. She didn't know much about humans but she did know that i't's bad when one's bloodstream was cut off for...let's say a minute?
After a few more shakes Elena's eyes shot open and imedietly and hugged Katherine back.
Katherine watched as Stefan ran up to Damon's bleeding,but healing, figure moaning on the ground.
"We'll meet you guy's at the boarding house so we can talk." Katherine smiled bitterly and walked her and Elena to the car, slowly helping her lay down in the back. Katherine got into the drivers side and got in just as Elena asked "Who are they Kat?"
"Vampire's I haven't expected to see in a very long time."
"You mean...you turned them, didn't you?"
"Yes. When I was in Mystic Falls, 1864."
"Where are we going?" Elena asked looking at the passing trees.
"Remember when you were 15 and I dared you to go into that mansion on the outskirts of town? And when you did, you ran out screaming?"
Elena slowly nodded, remembering Katherine's laughing face when she had ran out.
"Well, we're going there."
"Why?"
"Cause that's where they live."
Katherine could sense the fear radiating off Elena when she said this, but she choose to ignore it and pulled into the driveway of they're destination.
Before Elena could even contemplate that the car had stopped, she was at the door beside Katherine. Here it goes...
Stefan opened the door to see two Katherines staring back at him. One was wearing a black strapless dress, black heels, black leather jacket and a black handbag. That one had very fearful eyes. And the other looked just like the first one except everything was red and she looked angry, mad, sad, annoyed, and irritaded.
"Hello, Stefan. Aren't you going to invite us in?" The one in red said bitterly. Clearly Katherine, Stefan thought to himself.
"Katherine. You and...um, You and You, can come in." Stefan said not knowing who this copy of Katherine is.
"Elena. Her name is Elena." Katherine said as she dragged Herself and Elena past him. Damon was sitting in the parlor with a glass of scotch in his hand when Katherine pulled Elena into the room. He slowly looked over to see two Katherine's and Stefan coming into the room. Stefan sitting in an arm chair and the Two Katherine's sitting in the couch across from him.
"Hello, Brother. Katherine. Katherine." Damon said smirking as he nodded to both the lady's.
"Her name is Elena." Katherine snarled.
"Whatever."
Elena sank furler into the couch not wanting to look any of the two vampire boys in the eye for fear of knowing that they thought she was Katherine. She let herself zone out like she did when she was a kid. She didn't do it anymore cause it takes like two minute's of someone yelling at her to snap out of it, and Aunt Jenna didn't exactly like looseing her voice from asking 'Could You Pass The Milk?'. Elena sat in silence only hearing the low hum of people talking and slowly leting her vision blur. Elena had always known she needed glasses, but she faught all day everyday to keep everything in tackt, so if she stopped fighting it her vision would get blured.
"What's wrong with her?" Damon asked as her stared at the doppleganger of Katherine that appeared to be frozen in place blissfully.
Katherine twisted on the couch so she was faceing Elena. "Elena!" Katherine yelled into her ear and claped her hands in front on the zoned out girls face, making Elena leap up yelling "What happened!"
Katherine chuckled then pulled Elena back onto the couch saying "Nothing. You just zoned out again."
"I know that. I ment, What happened to make you snap me out of it?" Elena asked dimly aware of the fact that she was still in the boarding house and both Salvatore brothers were staring at her.
"No reason." Katherine shrugged, and let Elena go back into the haze.
"What just happened?" Stefan asked examining the once again totally-out-of-it Elena.
"Oh, that? She just does that sometimes." Katherine said trying to change subjects.
"And what is 'that' Miss Katherine?" Damon asked.
Katherine sighed and thought of the night Elena explained it to her. "It's really nothing, really. You see she's technecly blind but she puts all of her energy into seeing things clearly, so when she just let's go she goes blind. And she's been doing that since she was 10. Then the hearing thing is because, she Jeremy Miranda and Grayson used to live under her grandparents house. Her grandparents used to yell so bad that if you were close enough you could lose hearing. But she didn't. Elena was a very good reader. She could turn any sound into a hum of her favourite music, and that made her need to have reading glasses because she would read in dim light. And soon enough, her vision was lost completely."
"Yet she can still see?"
"Yes. Like I said, She holds onto vision with her strong will power. Which is very very strong I might add."
"And how is that?" Damon asked, smirking over to Elena.
"When I first came here, I wanted to kill her. But for some reason I just couldn't. There was something in her voice when she told me not to that just...stopped me." Katherine said, thinking back to the night she first saw Elena sitting at the Grill with Bonnie and Meredith.
Elena slowly pulled herself out of it while Katherine was talking and sat up straight. "Ok. Now why are you here?" Katherine asked the Salvatore brothers with a stern look.
"We needed a new change of scenary." Damon said, faking hurt.
"Shut up, Damon. We all know that's not the reason your here." Katherine said, taking deep breaths to try and calm her anger.
"If you must know. We came to get you out of that tomb, Katherine" Stefan said, being cut off at the end by Elena's large yawn.
"We should get home..." Katherine said, while helping Elena stand up. They both straitned there dresses and began to walk towards the door. Unfortunitly Elena's leg was asleep causeing her to trip over her heels. Elena surprisingly fell backwards and landed in to muscular arms.
"You ok there?" Damon asked, smirking down at the stuned girl in his arms. He already knew that she wasn't Katherine. Elena was...different. Katherine's aura was a feiry red, signifying that she was powerful but didn't always last. Elena's aura was a beautiful shining gold, Damon couldn't help but be drawn to. Katherine yanked Elena out of Damon's arms before he or Elena could respond.
"I said it before, and I'm gonna say it again. Stay Away From Her!" Katherine shouted then ran Elena and her out the door, leaving a very surprised Stefan and a very competitive Damon behind.
