Prologue: Beginning

For the first time in her life, she hated everyone and everything. They all knew about what Damon's done to her and yet, they never told her-not even made a mention of it to her but she remembered what they said about her behind her back.

The newest Katherine Pierce

That stupid little bitch

Petrova whore

Those kept swirling around and around until Tyler-who came back from the 'land of no cellphone reception'-finally asked her about why they're saying all of those things.

"I truly broke up with Stefan and now I'm with Damon." She remembered saying until the words he said begin haunting her.

"You do know that he's cheating on you, right? It started around the time you became a vampire and he believes that you're just a prize he won from the Originals and Stefan." It was later that she learned that he had been sleeping with some girl named Charlotte.

A girl he changed in the 1940s, the girl he first changed when he was in New Orleans.

Shaking her head, he winced and held her as she began to silently sob when He came upon her.

At that moment, she did the one thing no one else has ever thought about doing.

She.

Made.

A.

Deal.

With.

Silas.

"I'll give you the cure if you do a few things for me." The words came out but she didn't expect him to actually agree to her conditions. "First-you take it and you find whoever you need to find, second-make me something that has never walked the Earth, third-bring back a few people for me and fourth-leave Mystic Falls and its inhabitants alone for the rest of your life."

"Deal." And he did what she asked.

She helped him find Amara, he made her into an Immortal-something that can not only absorb all the magic from every witch (it didn't matter if they were dead or alive, no matter what they practiced) alongside being a Vampire/Werewolf Hybrid, she made Bonnie-without Bonnie actually knowing-into the Anchor for the Other Side (relinquishing Amara as the Anchor and making her a human again), she-along with Silas-managed to bring back Kol, Finn, Lexi, Sage and Alaric from the Other Side and he did leave Mystic Falls with Amara.

She was the only one who watched them take off in an airplane to go back to Greece.

She turned her head to Kol and Finn and nodded.

After that day, Mystic Falls became synonymous with betrayal to Elena Gilbert, Kol Mikaelson and his brother Finn.


As the three were on the road to New Orleans, Kol turned to the Immortal girl and asked, "why bring us back doppelgänger?"

"I didn't do it for you Kol," she said while keeping her eyes on the road. "Trust me-you had wanted to kill the last member of my family and I couldn't handle it plus being under Damon's fucking sire bond, I was merely a puppet on a string."

Kol had the grace to look ashamed, he honestly didn't want to kill the Hunter but due to his fear and paranoia of Silas wreaking havoc on the Earth, he went with the option to rid the Hunter.

Finn, knowing how the story ended, patted the girl who looked close to shutting it all off.

"I understand why you did what you did." He saw her give him a look of surprise from the corner of her eye before masking it. "You do know that doing what you are about to do means there is no turning back?"

"They made their choice to say those things about me behind my back," her eyes were cold-dead almost-but there was one emotion swirling in them as they flashed to gold. "Now it's time for them to pay for it." Her eyes were still flashing.

Kol hummed. "What did you do?"

"I made Stefan and Katherine human and also erased all of her precious memories from the time she had met your brothers to now, she is what she had portrayed herself to them again." Her lips were pulled back into a malicious smirk. "I had it done before we saw Silas and Amara off."

Both men stared at her, unsure of this new vindictive Elena Gilbert. The version from before was supposedly compassionate-according to Elijah-who was trying to regain it back but this one knew exactly how to make people hurt and those who had betrayed her were so far, the only victims.


It was symbolic, the slitting of Jane-Anne's throat, that made Elijah Mikaelson, who was watching this from a rooftop, shake his head but before he left he heard the one voice he never thought he would hear again and his dead heart nearly did backflips.

"Seriously? Just because she did a little magic trick that means you had to kill her? You're weak and pathetic."

Elena.

Elena Gilbert was here and as he turned, he saw her walk over to Marcel with a wicked gleam in her eyes that were full of emotions. He could feel his heart slowly soar, as he knew that her emotions were back.

"Hello again little doppelgänger love," Klaus was laying it on thick. "Why are you even here in my city?"

She rolled her eyes and flipped him off. "I got bored in Mystic Bore-Me Falls and opted for this little road trip with two old friends."

He couldn't believe it when he saw Finn and Kol appear behind her and he shook his head as Kol nearly killed Marcel.

He was rather surprised when Elena held up a hand and Kol relented, backing away from him. He saw that Klaus himself was surprised but hid it well.

"Clean up your mess and if you so much as try to kill a witch again," she stared Marcel right in the eye. "I won't hold Kol back next time. I'll watch him slaughter you and…" She looked at the group behind him. "I'm sorry but do you call that an army?" She snorted in disgust at his emphatic nod. "Just for that I should kill you."

He decided that he had enough and was there in a flash.

Elena wasn't surprised to find Elijah right in front of her. Actually, she wasn't expecting him to be in her general area at all. She half expected him to be there in New Orleans for Klaus. It was this case-this instance, that she didn't think he would be there but here he was and he wasn't going to be her knight in shining armor or anything that the Salvatores had tried to be for her.

No, she had a feeling that he wanted another deal or an explanation as to why she was here with his dead siblings who were staring at her like she was someone who shouldn't mess with.

"I believe that we have some catching up to do Lovely Elena." He told her and with a flash, they were gone.
