Chapter 2:
Damon returned to the boarding house perplexed. If this girl was telling the truth and she wasn't Katherine, then how did she look exactly like her? The girl was obviously a vampire.
"I saw something interesting at school today," Stefan remarked as he came into the parlour.
"Did you now? Well do tell," Damon sneered.
"I swore I saw Katherine, but she had no idea what I was talking about," he admitted.
"So you saw her too," Damon mused.
"What do you know?" Stefan demanded.
"Ah ah brother, if I tell you, what will I get out of it," Damon wondered aloud.
"You'll get my help to figure out who this girl is. Do you think it is Katherine playing with us?" Stefan asked his brother.
"I thought about that. I found her in that dark, little alley behind The Grill. She had Drew; you know the drunken ass that's always at the grill? Yeah she was drinking his blood, didn't drain him though. Just compelled him and left him there. Katherine would've drunk him dry," he remarked.
"Did you get her name?" Stefan asked patiently.
"Yeah, said her name's Elena. By the way, don't confront her or anything, she's crazy strong," he warned.
"Got your butt kicked, didn't you?" Stefan laughed.
Damon flipped him off and grabbed a glass and a bottle out of his liquor collection. He poured a couple drops of bagged human blood into the alcohol to give it extra flavour. Stefan left the room shaking his head and his brother's choice of drink.
"Hey Stefan," he called knowing that his brother could hear him despite the distance.
"What?" Stefan said as he walked back into the room.
"You're friends with that bubbly blonde? The girl who thinks she's the head of the welcoming committee?" Damon asked.
"She's not that bad. But yes, I am. And because I'll know you'll ask, she did find Elena and befriend her. She sat with us at school. Her not eating makes more sense now," he commented.
Damon rolled his eyes at his brother's lack of focus.
"Well befriend her okay? There's something strange about her," he commanded.
Meanwhile at Elena's house she was contemplating the vampire she saw earlier. And if Damon Salvatore was a vampire, than she figured that Stefan was likely one As much as she hated to admit it, she wanted information on them. Information that Elijah and Klaus were bound to have. So Elena dug out her phone and reluctantly pressed number one on speed dial.
The phone rang two times before a voice picked up.
"Hello," Klaus answered.
"Hello brother," she responded.
"Elena! Have you finally realized you can't live without me?" he teased her.
"Well I wouldn't go that far. I have missed you guys though," she admitted.
"Where are you sister?"
"Well why should I do that?" she questioned.
"Because you love me. I promise I'll stop about the hybrid stuff, just come back," he told her.
"Well, I have made a life for myself at the moment. Doing the human thing this year, I compelled a woman to think I was her niece," she explained.
"Well, we will be joining you soon. You can't hide from us forever," he warned.
"Hand the phone over to Elijah, will you?" she sighed.
"Of course sister," he answered.
Soon the other brother picked up the phone.
"Any reason for the phone call?" he asked, straight down to business.
"Can't I just call my favourite brothers for chit chat?" Elena asked innocently.
"Well one could, however you wouldn't. You did leave pretty pissed. So what's the reason for the call?" he asked again.
"Well I met some vampires, thought you'd know more about them," she told him.
"Where are you?"
"Mystic Falls," she admitted knowing that they'd find out sooner or later. It might as well be sooner.
"I assume you met the Salvatore brothers then? Don't get involved with them. There's something we have to tell you. It can't be discussed over the phone though. Come to Chicago will you? It's important," he asked.
"When do you want me to come? I have school tomorrow," she asked.
"Really you're doing high school again? You're a vampire, you don't need to," Klaus called from the back ground.
"Come this weekend. Don't talk to the Salvatores okay sis?" Elijah told me.
"Alright I won't, I do miss you guys," she sighed.
"Come home then," he suggested.
"No, I like it here, being on my own, kind of. Well I'll see you soon."
They said their goodbyes and Elena put the phone down.
"Elena, supper," Jenna called from below.
She went down the stairs to the kitchen. Jenna had ordered a pizza as she couldn't cook.
"Work hard on dinner?" she teased.
Jenna laughed. They sat down and ate the takeout meal. Elena loved pizza. She thought it was the best thing in the modern world. She helped the woman who thought she was her niece with the dishes and then retreated to her room.
Her phone buzzed on the table. She and Caroline had exchanged numbers earlier. She was asking if she would join them at The Grill. Elena quickly texted back yes and went to get ready for the evening.
'Would it look like she was trying to hard if she wore something different then what she wore to school?' she wondered to herself.
The vampire, now high school girl finally decided on keeping the outfit she had on, as it was rather cute, and grabbed her phone and her wallet. She told Jenna where she was going so she wouldn't worry.
Elena found The Grill quite easily. There weren't a lot of buildings open at night in this small town. She parked her car on the street and locked it by habit. She was used to the big city where one had to be careful.
She found her new friends at the back, surrounding a couple pool tables. She saw the vampire from the other night at the bar talking with a man beside him.
"Hey Caroline," she greeted her warmly.
"Elena! You came!" she yelled over the noise.
"I did say I would didn't I?" Elena laughed.
"Anyways, you want to play or just watch tonight?" Caroline asked.
"I'll just watch and get to know people tonight I think," she decided.
She surveyed the room. It was dimly lit. There was a loud chatter coming from the group and from the bar. There were booths around where people were eating.
"Hey Elena," a voice called.
She turned around and saw just the vampire she had been told to avoid.
"Hello Stefan. I met your brother the other night. Here actually," she remarked.
"Yes, I hope he wasn't too, well, offensive," he said.
"Don't worry about it. It was nothing I can't handle," she replied smoothly.
"So where'd you move from?" he asked.
"Chicago," she replied guardedly.
He stiffened.
"Are you alright?" she asked. Her vampire eyes were impeccable; she noticed that shift in him.
"Yes. Chicago just brings up bad memories," he admitted.
"Sorry," she apologized.
"It's not your fault. Doesn't matter, it was a long time ago," he responded.
"Do you have a sister?" he asked.
"No," she responded startled.
"Sorry, you just remind me of someone," he smiled.
"Weird," she laughed nervously.
Elena left to find Caroline. She was talking with Tyler Lockwood. Elena wondered if she would be interrupting anything if she went over there. She decided to go for it.
"This is fun Caroline, thanks for inviting me," she smiled at her new friend. She hadn't had female friends for a while.
"No problem, after all we are friends now," she said.
"So you and Tyler?" she laughed.
"Nah we're just friends. He needs to grow up a bit before we'd go anywhere," she admitted.
"But you like him?" she asked.
"He's cute," she answered without answering Elena's question.
"I knew it!" Elena laughed.
"So I saw you with Stefan," she remarked.
"Yeah, he's nice," Elena simply said.
"I know we used to go out, but it's okay if you like him," she told her.
"No I don't like him like that, we're just friends," she assured her new friend.
"Okay, well it doesn't matter to me."
"Thanks Caroline."
"Anyways this was fun, I'm going to head out now," Elena told her.
"Alright see you tomorrow," her new friend called to her.
Elena arrived at home. She used her new house key and let herself in. She headed to her room to go to bed.
AN: Hope you liked it. Hope you don't think it's going too fast. I'm thinking the story might have a touch of DamonxElena and KatherinexStefan. What do you think? Review please!
