The Petrova Twins Chapter 1
Summary: what if Elena and Katherine were twins? What if they both turned and both went to Mystic Falls together in 1864? What if they both stayed with the Salvatore's? Who would fall in love with who? How would the story change?
Chapter 1:
Elena P.O.V
This is going to be better than I expected. I thought to myself as we passed the sign saying 'welcome to Mystic Falls' I was excited to be moving, plus I would no longer have my old Bulgarian name, I would start over new with Katherine, my sister, my twin. Katherine and I's new names were Katherine and Elena Pierce, of course being born in Bulgaria on the 1400's they were not our real names. I was born Eleniana Petrova, and Katherine was born Katerina Petrova. Of course we both love our birth names, but it is not safe to have those precious names anymore. Anyway, we will fit in better with these.
After all we are supposed to be from Atlanta. Apparently Katherine had found out we were not the only vampires, not to mention a werewolf breed, apart From Pearl and Annabel who were moving with us. Hmm, they named the little town very well, I laughed to myself. We were on the coach with Emily Bennett, an extremely powerful witch. I had once saved Emily's life and she felt in debt to me, she had promised to serve me even when I had declined the offer. But I had given in due to Katherine telling me it would be wise to accept and I realised that it would be better for us to have a witch on our side, due to all that has happened to us.
"We are almost here!" I giggled excitedly,
"Calm child. Though I do believe we will enjoy it here." Emily said to be smiling fondly and giving me a little pat on the knee while Katherine giggled and threw her arm around my shoulder. Emily was very pretty, she had coffee coloured skin and jet black hair, and she was quite tiny and curvy. She was dressed plainly though, probably because she was posing as Katherine and I's hand-maid. Even though Emily was very pretty, Katherine and I were beautiful, and I am not the vain one out of my sister and I.
We have big chocolate brown doe eyes, with the same chocolate toned hair that fell to our waists we are very slim with even tinier waists, medium height and our skin was tanned with olive tones. Well let's face it, all Petrova girls beautiful. We are heart breakers too, but then again there is nothing we could do about that.
The dresses that Katherine and I wore were very pretty, they were nearly exactly the same though, and there was simply just a difference of colour. Our dresses were very fitted, pulled in around our tiny waists, all thanks to the corset of course, with a thick silk ribbon around it tied at the back in a bow, our skirts were full and reached down, naturally, to our ankles, we had little hats that tipped down on top of our foreheads and we had silk gloves that reached to our wrists. Katherine's colours were navy, red and black, her gloves were black and the silk around her waist was red. Mine were pink, violet and white, my gloves were white and the silk around my waist was pink. Katherine's hair was in a tight bun with a few curls escaping and framing her face beautifully.
While mine fell over my shoulders to my waist like a waterfall. We were looking very beautiful, as we were going to be for the remainder of our existence, I knew it. I had a strange little feeling that we were going to have a very good time staying with the Salvatore's.
The carriage stopped and I turned to Katherine to find her staring at me with happiness shining in her eyes; something I hadn't seen for a while. Say what you want about Katherine but she would do anything for her family, as would I, and we are the only thing each other really has left. I smiled brightly back at her before we both put slightly smug smiles on our lips, we both knew that Mr Salvatore's wife was dead and he head two sons. There were no women in the family. Well, the Salvatore brothers were going to get more than they bargained for. I heard Emily laugh lightly and knew that she knew the same thing. The carriage door opened and Emily got out first so she could help us out, Katherine went out after and eventually me.
Katherine and I looked at the two young men in front of us, they were obviously the two Salvatore brothers by the way they were dressed, and they were both exceptionally handsome. The older looking one took my hand the second my feet were on the ground and the younger were on took my sisters.
"You must be Miss Pierce," The two brothers said at the same time looking at each other and smiling. God they had beautiful smiles. Katherine and I placed our hands out to them at an angle were a kiss had to be placed on them.
"Please, call me Elena." I said as Katherine said the same thing only, obviously, changing the name. The man in front of me only smiled wider and placed a kiss on my hand.
He was extremely handsome, maybe even more so than his brother. He had jet black curls and gorgeous electric blue eyes, he was taller than me, though not by a big amount and he had a sort of smirk that probably made human girls weak. But I was not human, and he would not make me, a five hundred year old vampire, weak.
"Come Miss Pierce's. I will show you to your rooms," The older brother said to Katherine and I. I watched as a servant grabbed our bags and trailed along behind us.
"God, their gorgeous," I heard Katherine say in a voice that only I would hear,
"Contain yourself sister, but it is true. I wonder what they taste like." I said back, gaining a smile from her.
"Here you are Miss Pierce," The older Salvatore said to Katherine,
"Please Mr Salvatore, call me Katherine," she said quite seductively,
"As you wish Miss Katherine," he laughed, I shared a look with her to make sure I had her attention, and then said, extra quietly so only she would hear,
"My turn".
"Well, I will see you this evening Mr Salvatore. Oh, and Elena? After Emily helps you unpack would you come to me please?" Katherine said looking innocent. Too innocent if you ask me.
"Of course Katherine, I might be a while though," I said back smiling smugly.
"Of course," she said and then closed the door once the servant had left her bags inside.
"Here's yours, Miss Pierce, we thought you might like a room close to your sisters," he said smiling at me,
"Thank you. And what did I say earlier? Please call me Elena." I said to him equally as seductive as my sister.
"Only if you call me Damon." Hmm, Damon, that was a nice name. It suited him.
"Of course Damon. I will see you at dinner." And with that I started to walk away as I noticed the servant had already placed my bags inside my room.
"Yes you will Elena," Damon said laughing.
He grabbed my hand then, turning me around. Of course if I wanted to I could have stayed exactly where I was but since I was acting human I did not really have a choice,plus I really didn't mind being pulled around by him.
"What are you-"I started to ask but he placed another kiss on my hand.
"I look forward to seeing you at dinner Damon," I said looking him in the eye and then smiling looking away from his beautiful cobalt irises.
I swiftly removed my hand from his, immediately missing the small contact. What was wrong with me?
"As do I Elena," he said with his signature smirk.
And with a giggle I went into my room and gave him one last smile before I closed the door. I was starting to like it here already and it was all thanks to Damon Salvatore.
"Elena, dear I heard all of that and I need to talk to you. NOW." Katherine called out in our, 'special vampire voice' as Katherine had once called it.
"Yes Miss Katherine," I said sarcastically, smirking. I knew it pissed her off. I went in and sat on the edge of her bed, laughing quietly to myself at the glare I was met with.
"Did you see those Salvatore boys!? Ugh, their gorgeous! And they smell amazing!" I laughed at the dreamy quality my twins voice had taken on.
"Hmm, which one do you want?"I giggled and pulled Katerina down beside me,
"Very good question… hmm, I'd say both but I'm leaning towards the younger brother, his name is Stefan, but I know that you definitely want the older Salvatore brother. Damon isn't it? I gathered as much from your little conversation." She winked as I gave a little moan,
"I should have known you would listen, I can't help it Katerina. There is just something about him, something I like."
I said smiling down at the last part, but sighing at the same time.
"Well dear sister, I won't touch him. But if he makes a move," She raised her eyebrows suggestively.
"Then he's all yours Kat." I said smiling.
"Now come here. I haven't been able to give you a hug since before we got in the carriage," Katherine said opening her arms widely, and her smile was even brighter. I put my arms around her waist and pulled he down on the bed with me, her arms wrapped around my back.
"Katerina? I'm scared," My voice gave a slight tremble which I wasn't proud of.
"Shh, Eleniana, I won't let anything happen to us. You know that don't you?" She said smoothing down my hair,
"I know that you will do anything and everything, but Klaus is an Original Kat. We have been running for a long time, but I like it here already, I don't want to have to leave because we are putting people in danger that we have brought with us." I said scaring myself a little,
"Shh, Eleniana. I promise you, I want to stay here too it feels like a place we could call home, and if we hear that Klaus is here we will get out of here and make sure no one comes to harm okay?" She whispered frantically in my ear, and gave me a little kiss on top of my head,
"Okay, I'll be fine. We'll be fine. We will do this Katerina, we will put on a brave face and we will get through this. We are stronger than this Katerina, since when have we let men rule our lives?" I said laughing into my sister's shoulder.
"Yes, we are stronger, and we will be free for a little while shall we?" She said to me,
"Yes, we shall. Come sister! Help me freshen up; after all I want to look out best for Mr Salvatore." I giggled hopping off the bed.
"Which one?" She said laughing as well as getting up to follow me.
"Get your head out of the father of course Katerina dear, I want him to like us." I said back, starting off teasingly, but quite serious at the end.
"Of course he'll like us! Everyone does!" she said smiling,
"Now come here, let me fix your hair." Katherine took off my hat and hers and set them on her dressing table, grabbed a brush and pushed me down on the bed again. I sat crossed legged as she pulled the brush over my hair.
I said fiddling with a stray curl that had rested on her collarbone. My eyes then drifted over to Katherine's necklace, it was a cameo lapis lazuli necklace, ours were nearly identical but mine had a silver chain and white diamonds while Katherine's was a gold chain and onyx diamonds. They both had sapphires though. Apart from when our hair was sometimes different it was the only way to tell us apart physically.
"Come on little sister," Katherine said to me, even though she was only five minutes older she insisted on calling me 'little sister'.
"We would need to make an appearance at dinner," Slid off the bed then and made sure my hair was over my shoulders and took my sister's hand.
"Let us go then," I said pulling her to the door. We paused a little down the stairs as we heard the Salvatore men talk about us,
"They are extremely beautiful father, and they look exactly alike." The young man's voice didn't sound like Damon's so I knew it must have been Stefan.
"They are Miss Pierce's am I right? What are their first names?" The voice sounded older than the young Salvatore's, it was almost strained, but I heard a faint Italian accent in his voice and I knew that it must have belonged to Giuseppe Salvatore.
"Katherine and Elena father."Damon replied, God his voice was like velvet.
"And I think we should wait until they come down to start talking all about them." He added. I could almost hear the smirk in his voice.
I smiled a little at that and nodded to Katherine signalling that I wanted to go in. She smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back. We strolled in then and I immediately saw smiles on Stefan and Damon's faces.
"I hope we're not too late Mr Salvatore, we didn't realise the time." I said smiling right at him, and I found him smiling right back at me,
"Of course you are not late at all Miss Pierce, now, what is your first name dear? I don't want to have to call you and your sister by the same name," he said smiling at Katherine as well, who was mimicking my expression exactly. Smart girl.
"I'm Elena,"
"And I'm Katherine," Katherine said straight after me, smiling sweetly. Good thing that girl caught on fast.
"Well Elena and Katherine, come and sit down," I smiled at Giuseppe Salvatore one last time, and then at Katherine, we had won him over with a minute long conversation. We both walked towards the table and Giuseppe took his place at the head of it. When we were close enough Damon held out a chair,
"Elena?" He said to me signalling that he wanted me to take the place beside him,
"Thank you Damon,"My voice was seductive but I was smiling at the ground.
"Would you mind if I sat here Stefan?" Katherine said in her usual seductive purr. She was batting her eyelashes too. Poor Stefan was going to be just in love with her as everyone else soon enough.
"Of course not Miss Katherine," He said smiling politely. Hmm, I thought that smile would have been bigger, like the one he wore when we walked in. Strange.
"Poor Damon, he's already half way in love with you. Did you see how he pulled out your chair!" She said in our 'special vampire voice'. I just smiled and looked down again.
"I think we'll have a lot of fun with the Salvatore boys," I told her with a very discreet wink.
"So Elena, what brings you and your sister to Mystic Falls?" Damon turned in his seat towards me to ask me the question.
"Well, Katherine and I lived in Atlanta when there was a fire at our house, I don't even know how we managed to get out but we did. But the rest of our family were not so lucky. So I guess we are orphans now." I said flicking my gaze from Damon to Katherine.
This was not what happened to our family but I was right about the orphan part.
"I am sorry, I should not have asked." Damon said, looking as sorry as he sounded,
"No, don't apologise Damon. It's alright. Katherine and I need to start living again, and your father was kind enough to let us stay here," I said looking at Giuseppe at the end with a small smile.
Of course I was having lots of fun. I was much more innocent than my sister, but I was playing it up a little.
"Now, now Elena. It is an honour to have you and Katherine staying with us, never believe otherwise." Giuseppe said smiling kindly at me and then Katherine in turn.
"Thank you Mr Salvatore. That means a lot to Elena and I." Katherine answered smiling just as sweetly as I was; she clearly enjoyed being innocent for once in her life I thought with a giggle.
No one could ever doubt we were twins, we were too much alike both inside and out. The rest of the dinner past with laughter and stories as Katherine and I ate as much as we could of the human food placed in front of us.
"I think I will retire to bed now, I will see you all in the morning," I said, starting to get out of my seat. It was the truth though. Well, it was mostly the truth, I was tired but I was thirsty too and the Salvatore brother smelled so good…
"Of course Elena, it would be best for you to rest after your journey." Damon said to me with a big smile on his face.
"I think I will go soon too Elena, but I want Stefan to take me to the library first," Katherine said smiling deviously, I'm pretty sure I was the only person who saw it.
"Let me walk you over Elena, it is dark after all," Damon said with his little smirk, how could I say no?
"Of course Damon," After I said my goodnight's to Giuseppe and Stefan, who seemed very sweet, and kissed Katherine on the cheek, Damon took my arm and led me out of the house, we laughed and talked until we had reached my room,
"Sweet dreams Elena," Damon whispered to me and then took my hand, probably intending to place yet another kiss on it.
But I swiftly removed my hand and Damon looked more than a little hurt and shocked. But I pulled myself closer to him and kissed his cheek,
"Good night Damon," I whispered in his ear and with that I went inside and closed the door, hearing a faintly shocked,
"Good night Elena" From outside. I thought how his big, beautiful ice blue eyes looked at me and there was a part of me that knew that it was only the beginning for us.
Damon P.O.V
I walked away from Elena Pierce's room filled with emotion, lust, passion, confusion and shock to name but a few. I was falling fast for her. There was no denying how beautiful she was, I found that the whole way through dinner my eyes would subconsciously find my way to her.
There was something different about Elena though and I was determined to figure it out. Even saying that there was something so whole and pure about her, well, Elena did mean light. But then I remembered the she looked at me with her big, beautiful chocolate brown doe eyes and there was a part of me that knew it was just the beginning for us.
A/N Hey guys! I had the idea for us and couldn't help but write it! What do you think of it so far? Oh, Eleniana is pronounced like EL-AYN-EEANA! Review please! It would mean the world xxx.
