Well this story came to me a long time ago but I never really thought about putting pen to paper (or hand to keyboard, to computer screen - ok that's just confusing) Anyway I hope that you enjoy this and please review, I would love that.

"We need to get rid of her!" Stefan paced back and forth while rubbing his hand threw his brown hair. He stopped dead in mid pace and looked over at Damon, who sat in a chair in the corner, laughing while he watched as Stefan muttered to himself.

"We need to get rid of her Damon!" He repeated again, almost half to himself this time.

"Well that's all well and good Steffy but got any ideas on how we are meant to do that? It is Catherine after all." Damon sneered.

"I do but you aren't going to like it." Stefan took another step towards Damon and leaned down towards him, placing both his hands on either side of the chair. He stared Damon in the eyes and sneered. "You know what I am talking about."

Damon pulled back in his chair and pushed Stefan back. "NO! No way that bitch is coming here! She is worse than Catherine."

Stefan shook his head. "You don't understand! She is the only one that might be able to actually stop Catherine and deep down you know that." Stefan took a deep breath and started pacing again. "I don't like her as much as you do..."

Damon cut him off. "Great we finally agree on something."

"...But..." He continued. "We need her and she owes us anyway so she will have to help."

"FOR WHAT!" He laughed. "Last time I think I remember the tiny little fact of, oh I don't know, she wanted to kill us and I don't really want that to happen, well to you maybe but not to me!"

Stefan sneered. "Damon she owes you. You did save her life."

"And you ruined it. So we're even." He got up from his chair and took Stefan by the shoulders. "It's a bad idea, you want to save Elena not send her to her certain death."

"That's not going to happen, Damon. She was good once and maybe she is again."

"You do whatever you want Stefan but don't involve me in it." Damon patted Stefan on the shoulders and turned to walk away.

"Damon you know I'm going to call her."

Damon turned back around and smiled. "Whatever you want Stefan. It's your funeral."

Stefan paced a few more times before taking his phone and going through the contacts. He hesitated over the number, his hand was shaking. He knew that this was the only thing he could do to save Elena and finally get rid Catherine but it still scared him.

"You have to do this. Damon's wrong, this will work." Stefan said to himself as he pushed the phone up against his ear and let it ring.

"Hello?" The voice on the other end was sweet and soft. It sounded like sweet honey and he knew that it could make both himself and Damon believe or do anything. Damon was right, she was more dangerous than Catherine but she was also smarter than Catherine and that was why Stefan knew that if he could get this to work the way he wanted than he would finally be able to get rid of her and that Elena and himself could be together without having to worry about what Catherine was planning.

"Hello? Stefan?"

"Hi, I think I need your help."

There was a laugh. "Of course you do. I'll be there straight away."

Stefan hung up the phone, turning around to find Damon standing in the doorway, leaning on the frame, shaking his head. "This is only going to end badly and you know it. So what's your master plan? You know she doesn't like humans ever since...well ever since what happened last time she was here. So why is she going to want to help you and your new human girlfriend."

"Because like I said before Damon, she owes us and deep down I know that she is still the person she used to be."

"No one is ever the person they used to be. So where are we meeting her?"

"Tomorrow for lunch, at the Mystic Grill. I want you to be there too Damon and I'm bringing Elena as well."

"What, so she can get a sniff of her prey? She'll kill her Stefan."

"Not in public she won't. She likes to uphold her image."

Damon nodded. "Well just watch out Stefan, I warned you and I'll be there tomorrow. It'll take both of us if something does happen to try and stop her. You better tell Elena though."

"Tell me what?" Elena asked as she closed the front door behind her.

"Oh you'll like this one." Damon snickered. "Well I think I'll leave you to it."

Elena looked at Stefan questionably. "What?"

Stefan could only force a smile.

"What is it Stefan? What's Damon on about?"

Stefan let out a sigh. "It's a very long story but I am going to need you to trust me."

"You know I trust you." Elena went in to kiss him but he pulled back.

"No Elena you don't understand. This is different; more dangerous, even more dangerous than Catherine."

"What is Stefan?"

"Abigail."

Elena looked puzzled so Stefan continued.

"She is an old friend of Damon and me. I think that maybe she can help us get rid of Catherine but..."

"But what? If she can get rid of Catherine then that's a good thing right?"

"No. She's not like me or even like Damon, well not the last time I was with her. She is more like Catherine but at times worse. She's our only hope." Stefan pushed forward the last part the most, hoping that Elena would only hear that and none of the rest.

"I don't understand Stefan."

"Look, Elena all you need to know is that tomorrow we will all be meeting her. We just have to be careful. But trust me, Damon and I will not let anything happen to you."

Elena nodded and took this as her final answer. She knew that she was not going to get anything more out of Stefan tonight. She would just have to wait until tomorrow.

The next day came quicker then Elena had expected. She got herself ready and waited for Stefan to pick her up for lunch with Abigail that day. She didn't know why but she sensed a feeling of fear in the bottom of her stomach. She knew it was stupid to fear something or someone you had never met but she couldn't help it. She was literally afraid of nothing.

"Elena." She turned around to find Damon behind her, smiling his usual cocky smile.

"Where's Stefan?"

"Don't worry; lover boy is in the car. He sent me to get you. Now can we go?" Damon pointed to the door and Elena took one last breath before leaving the house, she still couldn't control her sense of fear.

Stefan waited in the car, as Damon had said. He smiled awkwardly as the two walked down the drive. It was obvious that he too was nervous of the coming events.

The drive was quiet, everyone to afraid to speak, as if breaking the silence would suddenly make everything seem more real.

Once they arrived at the Mystic Grill, Stefan got out first to check the surrounding area before he motioned both Elena and Damon to follow on.

"She's always late." Damon said as he sat down at the nearest table. "You know I doubt she comes at all."

"She'll be here. I know she will. As I said before, she owes us."

"Owes you for what?" Elena asked as she sat down next to Stefan in the booth, placing her bag beside her.

"Saving my life apparently!" They all turned to find, what Elena presumed was Abigail.

She had long dark hair, which fell in curls down her back. Her face was pale and it contrasted with her hair but paleness was a common trait of vampires. Her hazel green eyes seemed to almost sparkle in the light but at the same time they seemed to be able to pierce your soul and see right through you, finding out all your secrets in seconds. She wore a dark grey shirt under a black leather jacket. Her skinny jeans were covered by light brown; knee high cowboy boots and what seemed like hundreds of brackets covered her left arm.

She smiled, her white teeth flashing in the sun. Elena shivered. "You called."

"That we did. Sit down." Stefan motioned with his hand to the spot next to Damon.

"Oh yay, the psycho gets to sit next to me!" Damon rolled his eyes.

"Oh Damon you have always been such the charmer. Now what seems to be the issue?"

"Catherine." Stefan said as he leaned forward, closer to Abigail so that he could whisper.

Abigail just smiled. "Now that I can deal with."

Please review. This is my first ever Vampire Diaries one and I would love to know how I went. Thanks heaps.
