Chapter 1

Border of Mystic Falls

A SUV with a couple was leaving the town to go on a vacation somewhere and it got a little foggy. Just then around the bend the woman screamed at the guy. The driver hit the vampire and the vampire crashed into the windshield. The car skidded to a stop and the couple in the car sat in shock. The guy went out and to make sure he was okay. The vampire attacked him by latching onto his neck and feeding off his blood. Then the woman came out looking around and the vampire attacked her.

Mystic Falls Salvatore Boarding House

Stefan walked through the door after the first day of school and a run in with someone that looked like his ex. He came to realize she wasn't like his evil ex and that was a plus he needed some normal in his undead life. He snorted at his thoughts. It won't take long until his brother, along with his wife, comes through town just to cause trouble.

Just then he heard a familiar caw of a crow. He thought too soon. There goes Damon's appearance and if not too far behind is Elena, his wife. He turned around and saw Damon lounging against his dresser.

"Damon."

"Hello, brother."

"It's been 20 years why can't you just leave me alone?"

"What's the fun in that? My wife and I have been living it up in New York the last 20 years if you must know. Thought it was time to pay a visit to my dear baby bro."

"Where's Elena?"

"She had to take care of a few things but she'll be here in a couple days." Damon said, dismissively.

What Stefan doesn't know is that Elena is 2000 years old and Damon is the first one she willingly turned and has her blood through his veins. He feels pretty damn confident that he's the only one in her bloodline. He doesn't plan on sharing her. He's been keeping an eye on the latest doppleganger par Elena's orders. He chose to remain unseen to his brother and to the doppleganger that Elena is so hellbent on protecting.

"What's it like in New York?" Stefan asked.

"Fast paced, city never sleeps, we enjoy the nightlife very extensively. It's a big city and its okay for a few people to go missing and they won't be missed." Damon shrugged carelessly.

Stefan rolled his eyes. Just then Damon looked a picture of Katherine and he smirked over at Stefan.

"Karen looks an awful like Katherine." Damon said, offhandedly.

"You stay away from her."

"You best not order me around but I will stay away from her just because Elena demanded that I keep my distance from her and to protect her from a very big thing that's coming to her. She wouldn't go into specifics. So I trust her judgement to tell me when she deems necessary." Damon informed Stefan.

"Okay Damon. Just make yourself scarce if she ever shows up."

"Oh I plan on it." Damon said then he was gone.

Stefan rolled his shoulders after Damon left to do whatever it is he does. He stops asking what Damon is up to because he always has some diabolical plan that he doesn't know about until much later when its in motion.

The next few days are normal until one day its not. It starts with news that says a couple is found dead on the outskirts of town and it was deemed as an animal attack. Stefan sighed wondering if Damon did that. Stefan walks to Damon's room and knocks on it then enters the room to see Damon sitting against the headboard reading Gone With The Wind.

"Are you the one who killed those people?" Stefan asked without preamble.

Damon looked up from his book and glares at Stefan.

"No that's not me, I fed off someone before I even came into the town's limits. I'm not that impulsive. Okay maybe I am but I promised Elena that I wouldn't terrorize the town. So whoever is doing that is trying to run us out of town. Elena is on it but so far she can't find them." Damon said then went back to reading.

Stefan sighed then left. Stefan could see that Damon would do anything to piss Elena off, its just how they are but this time she warned him that the town is going to be suspicious of some people getting fed off and drained of blood.

Damon heard a car pull up in the driveway and he silently went down the stairs to see who could be at the house. He could bet it was Stefan's lady friend. I'll just make one appearance, it won't hurt anyone. I can be charming, Damon thought to himself.

"Hello? Stefan?"

Damon sped over to the door and shut it then sped over to be in front of the girl. Karen turned around and took a step back. Her heart sped up a little and Damon smirked.

"I don't believe we've met. I'm Damon, Stefan's brother."

Karen lifted up her hand to shake Damon's but Damon lifted it up and kissed her hand. He was smirking at the way her heart was stuttering.

"Stefan never said he had a brother."

"He doesn't like to brag." Damon shrugged and smirked.

"Well I was just dropping off his book." Karen said.

"He's out right now so you can wait until he's back or you can just drop it off with me and I can get it to him." Damon suggested.

"Okay."

Just then Stefan walked in.

"Damon." Stefan said in a warning tone.

Karen looked behind her and saw Stefan standing there staring down Damon. Karen then looked back at Damon who had a smirk on his face while looking at Stefan.

"I was just dropping this book off since you let me borrow it." Karen said.

"You can go now. I'll see you later." Stefan told her without looking at her.

Karen nodded then set the book down and left.

"Well that was rude." Damon said.

"You weren't supposed to make your prescence known to her." Stefan reminded him.

"Since when do I listen to people. I like to get a rise out of them. Especially Elena." Damon smirked.

Stefan shook his head and left upstairs. Damon smirked again while taking a healthy gulp of bourbon. Elena will be pissed but she'll get over it. She always does.

"So that was your brother?" Karen asked.

"Unfortunately."

"You don't sound too happy, why's that?"

"Just some family drama is all."

"He seems charming."

"He can be. He likes to get a rise out of everyone. You'll see what I mean if you ever get a chance to be in the same room as him."

Karen nodded then went back to reading.

"Where was he?"

"He was in New York with his wife."

"He has a wife?" Karen raised an eyebrow.

"I was shocked myself when he told me that bit of information."

"I'd like to meet her."

"I'm sure you will. She'll be around in a few days because she's doing something that I have no idea what she's doing but she'll be here."

Karen nodded.

Stefan and Karen walked in the boarding house a few days later and saw Damon standing at the bar drinking bourbon then handing it over to someone with their back to them. Damon smiled at her then leaned over and gave her a kiss.

"Hello, brother. Karen." Damon said, without looking away from Elena.

Elena then turned around and looked at Karen. Karen looked at Elena.

"I'm Elena. You must be Karen." Elena said.

She nodded. They shook hands and Elena went back to drinking a glass of bourbon. Karen, a little shocked that she met Damon's wife. She took a look at their left hands and saw wedding rings. Huh, so they really are married, Karen thought.

A few days later, Karen walked in the boarding house and saw Damon and Elena dancing. Karen watched them dance and laugh. They look really happy together. What she doesn't know is that a thousand year old hybrid wants to break a curse but Elena won't have it because she's a 2000 year old vampire. Of course she scares Klaus because he knows that she can kill him without a second thought. He's too busy chasing Katherine but he's aware that Karen is the next doppleganger and he also knows that Elena will kill him if he kills innocent people so he's only biding his time until he can find a way to break it.

A/N: how's that? This is gonna be like TVD but with a twist and its not gonna be all accurate and you'll see some episodes and lines being used throughout this fic. This is the last fanfic update of the year. So I'll see you in 2015.
