This story is set just after 2x8 Rose and just the first part actually in it
Summary is:
Elena just was saved by Damon and Stefan at Rose and Trevor's mansion. They get home and it's all well and good... Elijah's dead... Or so they think...
Elena walked up the stairs to her room, glad to be finally home but exhausted. On her way up she heard Jeremy and Bonnie calling her name from his room. She briefly wondered why they decided to hang out in there before she was swept into a hug by Bonnie.
"Elena are you okay?" Jeremy asked her concerned. "I'm okay." She told him and then said to Bonnie, "I got your message." She hugged Bonnie one last time and then Jeremy gave her the biggest hug he ever had. They just stood there for a while, Jeremy thanking God that Elena was okay. That he hadn't lost her too.

The next morning Elena woke up feeling a little sore but well rested all the same. Touching her neck she realized her necklace was there. 'I thought this was gone' she thought to herself. After her questioning moment was over she glanced over at her phone charging on the bedside table and saw a missed call from Stefan. She unplugged her it and listened to the voicemail. "Elena, it's Stefan, when you get this could you come to the boarding house please? I need to talk to you it's important." Elena sighed and got out of bed. A quick shower and a coffee later Elena was in her car on the way to the boarding house.
After a short drive, Elena parked her Mini Cooper in the Salvatore driveway and walked to the door. Before she could knock though Damon opened the door for her. "Stefan here?" She asked. "Yea he's in the living room with our 'special guest'." Damon said with air quotes. Elena looked at him puzzled before he took her arm and led her into the living room.
Rose was there. The girl who had kidnapped her. After a sharp intake of breathe Elena breathed out, "you". Rose gave her a friendly wave.
After a short discussion about Klaus Elena got up off the couch she had been sitting on.
"Where do you think you're going?" Damon asked her.
"School?" She replied at his harsh tone.
"Fine but wait for Stefan." He said back.
"What?" She asked, "I'm perfectly capable of going to school alone!"
"Yea, and two nights ago you were perfectly capable of driving yourself home from the Lockwoods and look what happened there! Wait for Stefan please?"
He finished his outburst with a please. That was strange. "Fine." She replied.
O
First period and second period Elena had with Stefan. When the bell rang signaling second period to be over Elena almost ran out of her math class. He met her at the door and asked her what the rush was. "Um I need to get to bio fast to ask Mr. Jordan a question about the test." She lied to him smoothly surprising herself. "Okay see you later!" He replied happily.
Elena waited until he turned the corner before texting Caroline, [I need some friend help... Meet me at my locker please?!] Elena waited a minute for Caroline to reply. [fine but if I'm late for class and get in trouble I will kill you] was Caroline's reply. Elena walked to her locker and waited exactly five seconds before Caroline got there.
"Just warning you now you're going to be late for class." Elena said right when she showed up.

"Please don't tell anyone where I went Caroline. Just say I went home with a stomach ache." Elena said walking down the stairs to the tomb.
"Elena! This is crazy! She won't tell you anything!" Caroline said to her. "its a waste of time there's no need to pull the stone away."
"You already promised Caroline." Elena said giving her the guilty treatment, "If she doesn't talk that's my problem and not yours anyway."
"Fine but if your boyfriend interrogates me to see where you went and I mess up, that will be your problem too. I'm a terrible liar." Caroline continued to try to get Elena to give up.
"All you have to say is, 'she's sick'. Please Caroline she's the only person that knows the truth and I need it." Elena said.
Caroline huffed and started to pull the huge stone away from the tomb causing a gaping hole in the wall.
"Leave now Caroline." Caroline heard Elena's voice say, but her lips weren't moving. Katherine.
"Good luck Elena." She said before speeding off.
"What do you want?" Elena looked into the back of the tomb expecting Katherine to be walking to the opening but when she looked down she saw Katherine was already sitting there. Elena dropped the huge bag she had been carrying and say down next to it.
"I want to know about Klaus." She said cutting right to business."
"And what is it that makes you think I will tell you anything?" Katherine replied, "I don't know if you know this but," she leaned closer and whispered, "I hate you."

Caroline had been dreading the moment Stefan would ask where Elena was and it finally came at lunch. When he walked to their table and saw Elena wasn't there he was puzzled. She always got there before him.
"Where's Elena?" He asked Bonnie and Caroline. "She went home sick after fourth period." Caroline lied to Stefan looking down at her spaghetti. "Oh she didn't tell me." Stefan said looking a little hurt."I think I'll go see if she's okay."
He moved to get up from the table before Caroline almost threw herself at him. She couldn't let him go to Elena's house and see she wasn't there.
"Wait!" She quickly got out, "I really need to talk to you. It's REALLY important." She said to him.
"What?" Stefan looked concerned.
"I kinda maybe told Tyler that I was a vampire." She said slowly. Stefan looked at her like she was crazy.
