Alessia was starting to regain consciousness after having been drifting in and out of consciousness for the last 12 hours. Every time she would be starting to wake she would be injected with an higher dosage of vervain. A vampire's weakness. As she was waking she could hear voices belonging to people in other room. Her last memories of last night were quite foggy. Opening her eyes Alessia was taken aback for a moment surprised to see the person. Her eyes fell upon Katherine Pierce although Alessia knew it wasn't her, her brothers already locked up Katherine in the tomb. Alessia noticed that bloodstains covered nearly her entire shirt, she remembered that everything that did to Katherine happened to her too. 'So, this is the new doppleganger' she thought out to herself as she was looking to Elena for a moment but then turned to look at her surroundings.

She could see that they were in an abandoned building somewhere. "What is going on?" She groaned as she tried to sit up it was a bit difficult as she was bound with vervain ropes on her wrists and ankles. "Do you mind?" she mused, holding out her hands waiting for the ropes to be done. The doppelganger was a bit taken out back, but within seconds the ropes were taken off. "Thank you" She commented. "Who are you?" So her brothers had not told her yet about her. "Alessia Salvatore" She proclaimed introducing her, she could see that Elena was shocked. "They never told me they had a sister" Elena admitted looking down for a moment. "Stefan is my twin, we keep to ourselves through the decades" They weren't the ones who live in day in and day out with each other, they lived their own lives. "Oh" That was all Elena could respond to it. "So where are we anyway" Alessia changed conversation as she looked around better, she stood up from the couch so that could try to find a way out. As she got up she stood in a spot where the sunlight was peeking through, she could feel a searing burning pain as her body was being burned a little. She quickly used her vampire speed to get away from it. "What the hell" She mutter in annoyance, looking down at her hand she could see her lapiz Luzil ring was missing from her right hand. "Seriously" Alessia groaned, whoever kidnapped them took her ring as well. "Let's get out of here"

The two of them left the room quietly and went upstairs where the voices were coming from so that they could listen in. "So that's it Trevor. He either got it or he didn't. We just have to wait." The woman said to the other person, their kidnappers were working for someone. But who? "Look, it's not too late. We can leave it here. We don't have to go through with this." She could hear that the man was afraid not wanting to go through it, what was he scared of? "I'm sick of running!" The other woman told him. "Yeah? Well, running keeps us from dying." Both Alessia and Elena was listening into their conversation, what the woman said next made Alessia freeze in place. "Elijah's old school. If he accepts our deal, we're free." Alessia heard a name she hadn't heard for nearly a century. Was Elijah coming? Would Klaus be with him. She didn't know how to react and take in all this. Before they could listen to anything else the creaking of the floor boards that Elena stood of blown their cover. The woman in the room saw them. "You two! There's nothing around here for miles. If you think you're getting out of this house, you're tragically wrong. And for you, you would be would be burnt in a crisp. Understand?" The woman threatened them, Alessia turned to look at Elena who didn't seem too phased. "Who's Elijah?" Elena asked whilst Alessia stayed silent not saying anything not wanting to let in that she knew everything. "He's your worst nightmare" The woman answered.

Alessia tried to look around for a way out although she knew it would be pointless without her ring, she would fry to a crisp if she tried to escape. She knew she would have to wait it out to get a jump on the two vampires when she got a chance. Alessia looked to see that Elena had gone off "Seriously is she trying to get herself killed" She muttered to herself, using her vampire hearing she concentrated to hear voices to find out where Elena was. She could hear that Elena was talking to the female vampire, asking her questions. Alessia used her vampire speed to go through to the room where Elena was although avoiding all the patches of sunlight on the way. "Can't you stay put" Alessia commented looking at Elena in ignorance as she joined in on their conversation. "I personally want nothing; I'm just a delivery service." The other vampire told them, Alessia knew that it was bad. "Delivery to who? Elijah?" Elena was quick at putting two and two together. "Two points to the eavesdropper." The vampires who had taken them had made a deal with Elijah to hand the doppelganger to cause then somehow, she got mixed up into it as well Alessia guessed. "Elijah is coming here?" She interjected, her past she tried to forget and put behind her was coming back. Alessia looked to the female vampire to see if it was too and the woman nodded her head. "Who is he? Is he a vampire?" She listened as Elena continued asking questions. "He's one of the first vampires, the original family" Alessia answered for her.

"What do you mean the originals?" Elena asked curiously "Again with the questions. Haven't the Salvatores been teaching you your vampire history?" With that Alessia looked to see her after hearing her surname being said. "So you know Stefan and Damon?" The vampires probably found out information about them all to capture them. "I know of them. A hundred years back, a friend of mine tried to set me up with Stefan. She said he was one of the good ones. I'm more of a sucker for the bad boys though but I digress." Alessia smiled softly, knowing that it was probably Lexi. She knew that Lexi was always trying to set up her brother and her too with other people, but they were too stubborn to take upon her offer. "Who are the originals?" Elena interjected. "Trevor and I have been running for 500 years. We're tired, we want it over. We're using you to negotiate ourselves out of an old mess." Alessia was very familiar of how the originals worked, the enemies they made would all have to pay in one way or another. She knew Katherine was still running from Klaus after 500 years. "But why me?" Poor Elena was clueless of it all, she was just a vessel in the whole curse.

Alessia decided to speak up instead of letting the female vampire to tell Elena. "Their after you because you're the Petrova Doppelganger, you're the key to breaking the curse" She told Elena, looking down for a moment knowing that the outcome was not good. She knew Elena had a right to know. "The curse? The sun and the moon curse?" The fake curse the originals had made, she knew vampires and werewolves were all too foolish and still believe the curse to be real when it is not. "Oh, you do know your history." Alessia wondered how much her brothers knew, but it seemed they didn't know their vampire history. "What do you mean I'm the key? The moonstone is what breaks the curse." Elena looked both between for answers. "No, the moonstone is what binds the curse. The sacrifice is what breaks it" Klaus had told her all about the whole curse, ritual and the sacrifice. She knew the originals believed that Katherine's line ended with her but Alessia knew that they were wrong. Here was the latest petrova doppelganger who has stolen the hearts of her two brothers. "The sacrifice?" She could see that Elena wanted to know what they were hiding. "The blood of the doppelgänger. You're the doppelgänger. Which means, in order to break the curse, you're the one who has to die." Rose explained to her, Alessia looked over to Elena. She could see fear in her eyes not knowing. "You knew" Elena questioned Alessia who nodded her head in response. "I did" She answered looking away

Elena was still asking Rose questions whilst Alessia was trying to think of a plan of how to get them out of this place. She had a feeling that her brothers were on the way to save the day. She wondered if they were coming just because Elena was missing or if they realized she was gone too. "Tell me more" Whilst her on the other hand was not telling Elena anymore than she already has, soon or later she will find out it all but not coming from her. "Captivity has made her pushy, eh? What do you want to know doppelicious?" The other vampire Trevor came through the room to join in on the conversation. "Who were you running from?" Elena asked again. "The originals" He answered, she could see what Elena was doing, trying to find out every detail. "Yeah, she said that. What does that mean?" These vampires seemed quite foolish telling her everything. "The first family, the old world. Rose and I pissed them off." Alessia looked between the two vampires, she could hear Rose cough correcting him "Correction, I pissed them off, Rose had my back and for over half a millennium, they wanted us dead." Damn that is a long time, she knew the originals held grudges a long time especially those who crossed Klaus.

"What did you do?" Elena asked them, Alessia was too interested to hear what so bad they did to cross the originals. She knew it must have been something bad for them to be running for over 500 years. "He made the same mistake countless others did: he trusted Katerina Petrova." Alessia chuckled to herself, Katherine didn't care for those who had fallen for her plans and all the consequences it caused. "Katherine" Elena said but Rose added on. "The one and only, the first Petrova Doppelgänger." It took 500 years for the next Petrova Doppleganger to come around. "I helped her escape her fate and now I've, sorry, we've been marked ever since." Trevor told them both. Alessia decided to speak up and have her say. "Well that was stupid" She commented stating the facts. "Never trust no one" Either way you still get stabbed in the back by those who you cared most, the only person who could trust is yourself and that was that. "Which is why we're not gonna make the same mistake again." She could see that the two vampires just wanted to be free, although she knew it didn't work that way.

Alessia and Elena went through to the other room to come up with a plan. Elena was sat on the couch whilst Alessia was stood nearby keeping guard. She heard a gasp escape Elena's lips, she looked straight over to see her looking at a note that appeared out of thin air. Alessia used her vampire speed to appear right next to her, looking over Elena's shoulder she read the message that was written 'Stefan and Damon are coming for you guys. -B'. Damon and Stefan were on their ways, she had hoped her brothers wouldn't get involved in it but on the other hand it was enable that they would come to save Elena. Both Alessia and Elena looked at each other already knowing what each other were thinking. They hid the letter from other. Soon after Rose and Trevor both came through, Alessia looked up to see Trevor was panicking. "He's here! This was a mistake." She could hear fear in his voice as he started to pace but Rose was soon by his side to calm him down. "No, I told you I would get us out of this. You have to trust me." Alessia could see that he was on the edge of backing out of a plan and running away again. "No! He wants me dead, Rose!" Alessia knew that Elijah and the originals wouldn't have mercy on him, they may be noble but have their own ways to deal with people who cross them. "He wants her more." Ross reassured him. "I can't do this. You give her to him, he'll have mercy on you but I need to get out of here" Alessia watched as Rose quickly went over to Trevor's side, taking his and stopping him. "Hey! What are we?" Ross questioned, Trevor took a deep breath before answering her. "We're family, forever." Both Alessia and Elena smiled softly as they watched the two vampire friends reassuring each other. They all nearly jumped out of their skins when they heard a knocking on the front door. "He's here" She breathed looking over to the door. "You're scared" Elena commented, they watched as Rose was on her way out. - trevor took deep breaths and calmed down "Stay here with them and don't make a sound."

~ Nobody's P.O.V ~

The front door of the abandoned door was pushed open, a loud creaking sound could be heard throughout the house. There stood at the front door was one of the first originals, Elijah Mikaelson. The respectable and noble one who always wore a suit. Elijah was here to deal with the business a hand. Rose quickly came through to greet him but he was already there first. "Rose-Marie. Is there somewhere we can talk?" He greeted and went straight into it wanting to know why he was here, not wanting to waste any time. "Yes, in here. You have to forgive the house." Rose answered, gesturing to the first door on the left to him, her voice was shaking a little indicating of how she was never. "Oh, no, what's a little dirt? I completely understand. So tell me, what is it that gives you the courage to call me?" Elijah wondered as he closed the door and walked through into the other room. "I wanted my freedom. I'm tired of running. You in a position to grant me that?" Ross wanted to end this all there even if it meant talking to the one who they betrayed most. Elijah had his back to her, he was looking at an ornament in the room. "I have complete authority to grant pardon to you and your little pet. What is his name these days? Trevor. If I so see fit." He asked her, remembering back to who else had crossed him. "Katerina Petrova?" After hearing that name Elijah turned around straight away becoming more interested. " I'm listening." Elijah stated as he sat himself down on one of the old dusty chair that was beside him so he could listen to what she had to say. "She didn't burn in the church in 1864." She told him "Continue." The original added. "She survived." Ross told him. "Where is she?" Elijah didn't seem too phased by this new information, "You don't seem surprised by this. Rose was quick to notice too.

"Oh, when you called and invited me into this armpit of civilization, which is a mere three hours from the town we know as Mystic Falls, I surmised it had everything to do with Katerina. Do you have her in your possession?" Elijah stated, he wasn't foolish enough to come all the way out here without doing his own research going to back to Mystic Falls and those of Katherine. "No, but I have better. I have her doppelgänger. And I have something else that you may be interested in" Ross told him with that Elijah was taken by surprise after hearing that that there was another doppleganger. "That's impossible, her family line ended with her. I know that for fact." He referred to the killings of Katherine's family when she crossed them. "The facts are wrong." Ross stated. "Well, show her to me. What else do you have?" He hadn't forgotten that Rose had something else that would interest him too. "I have Alessia Salvatore here as well, she too didn't die in the Opera house fire in 1919. She survived too." The original was taken aback for a few moments shocked to hear what the vampire had told her. ""It can't be, me and my family watched it burn to the ground nobody survived" He admitted knowing that there was no way she could get out of the fire. "But she did" Rose told the original. "I want to see her" He wanted to see if what she was saying was the truth if the person who he considered a sister was alive after all those years. "Elijah, you are a man of honor, you should be trusted but I want to hear you say it again." Rose wanted to make sure that her and Trevor would be pardoned before they showed Elijah to them. "You have my word that I will pardon you." Although Elijah never specified who he was going to pardon. "Follow me." Rose told him leading the way.

~ Alessia's P.O.V ~

Rose showed Elijah through into the main room where both Alessia and Elena were. Alessia was complimenting trying to find a way out to escape before Elijah came through. The last century had given her time to think, was she better off without the Mikaelsons. To be alone. They had abandoned and left her to die. She wouldn't be able to forgive them for that. It was too late he was already here. When Elijah saw Alesia, he used his vampire speed to rush over to her. "Alessia, how can it be?" He asked as he looked at her, examining her. She looks more mature now, that she'd grown up. Her hair was now dyed blonde, make up caked her face, she was still wearing her dress from last night at the masquerade party. "It's me Lijah, I made it out" She spoke in a soft tone, using a nickname only a few uses. She could see how he still looked shocked, did he not know she was alive? Elijah had noticed something that caught his eye. "Where is your ring?" He commented referring to her daylight ring, but he could be referring to her other rings. "They took my daylight ring when they captured me" She pointed to both other vampires in the room. "My other rings are gone…" She trailed off subconsciously rubbing her index finger on her left hand where her two missing rings were. Elena too had noticed how familiar Alessia and Elijah were to each other. "How do you two now each other" Elena asked confusedly pointing to both Alessia and Elijah. "We go way back" She told her simply not really wanting to tell her anymore. The original turned to face the two coward vampires. "So which one of you have have her ring" He wanted to find out who to kill first. Rose was quick to get Alessia's ring out throwing it over to Alessia. "Here" She caught it and quickly put it back onto her right hand, she hadn't worry of burning in the sun.

Elijah remembered the reason why he was here, the doppelganger. He rushes over to Elena, looking at her before smelling her neck. "Human. It's impossible. Hello there." He breathes, sounding a little bit creepy. "We have a long journey ahead of us. We should be going." He tells both Alessia and Elena, both girls looked at each not knowing what they were going to do. Alessia didn't want to go with him, she knew he would take her to Klaus. She didn't want to see him. "Please, don't let him take me" Elena begged to both Rose and Alessia not wanting to be taken. "One last piece of business and we're done" Elijah announced, Alessia looked over to see the original walking over to Trevor. She knew what he was going to do. "I've waited so long for this day, Elijah. I'm truly, very sorry." Trevor was trying to beg mercy but it would be no use. "Oh no, your apology isn't necessary." The original said as the two of them face each other. "Yes, yes, it is. You trusted me with Katerina and I failed you." She could sense that Trevor was begging for his life, she watched as Elijah was walking circles around him whilst listening to his failures. "Oh yes, you are the guilty one and Rose aided you because she was loyal to you and that now I honor. Where was your loyalty?" The original spoke as he stopped and faced Trevor. "I beg your forgiveness." Trevor asked still looking down. "So, granted" Elijah finished, as Trevor was about to smile he was cut off. The original raised his hand and smacked Trevor's head clean off his body. Rose cried, watching her best friend die before her eyes, Elena stood there shocked whilst Alessia didn't show emotion knowing the consequences for betraying the originals.

"You…!" Rose didn't know what to do, still in shock she was about to avenge her friend" Don't, Rose, now that you are free." she earned her freedom, Elijah turned to Elena. "Come" He wanted to take her. "No, what about the moonstone?" Elena blurted out trying to buy herself enough time for the Salvatore Brothers to arrive and save them. "What do you know about the moonstone?" He looked between the doppelganger and Alessia he could see how she seemed like she knew something too but was keeping it secret. He would just have ti get the information out of the doppelganger. "I know that you need it and I know where it is." Elena informed him, not telling him all what she knew. "Yes?" He added wanting her to continue. " I can help you get it." Alessia looked to Elena seeing what she was up to, she could see that she was stubborn like Katherine not wanting to get a way out of it. "Tell me where it is." The original was starting to get annoyed with all these games. "It doesn't work that way." Elena shot back standing her ground. "Are you negotiating with me?" Alessia looked to see Elijah was looking to both Rose and herself to see "It's the first I've heard of it." The original tried to compel Elena but it was no use until he noticed the vervain necklace that was around her neck. "What is this vervain doing around your neck?" He demanded before pulling off the necklace and throwing it away. He grabbed her head and compelled her to find out answers. "Tell me where the moonstone is." He compelled. "In the tomb, underneath the church ruins." Elena answered robotically. "What is it doing there?" He queried. "It's with Katherine." With that he knew what we were hiding "Interesting" Before he could find anymore information the sound of broken glass coming from upstairs could be heard.

Alessia and Elena both mentally sighed in relief knowing it was Damon and Stefan coming for them, although on the other hand she didn't want her brothers to get involved in dealing with Elijah. She knew he was a lot more strong and powerful than them combined since he was an original and was over 1,000 years old. "What was that?" Everyone looked to the door that lead to downstairs, Elijah turned to Rose to see if she knew. "I don't know." She truly didn't know. "The original demanded, not knowing if there was anymore people who heard of the doppelganger was here. "I don't know." Rose repeated, before Elijah could grab Elena to keep her from running Alessia appeared beside her. "You will forget all the information i have told you, you will not remember that I know Elijah. You will forget it" She compelled Elena to cover her tracks, she didn't want her brothers to find out all what she had been keeping from them in the last 140 odd years. She felt Elijah gripping her arm, grabbing both her and Elena taking them through into the other part of the house. Both Stefan and Damon was moving around them with the Vampire speed to try to trick him. "Alessia!" Elijah called to see if she knew. "I don't know who it is" She lied, she heard Stefan's voice coming from somewhere in the house. "Up here" He called, she watched as Elijah used his speed to appear on the stairs. "Down here" Damon followed, she watched as a stake was thrown into Elijah's hand, within seconds he pulled it out and removed the stake.

Alessia's felt herself being grabbed and then pinned to a wall, she looked to see that it was Damon. He had his hand over his mouth for her to be quiet to let them deal with Elijah by themselves. "Excuse me. To whom it may concern, you're making a great mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't. Do you hear that?" The original vampire was indestructible and very powerful, Elijah broke a wooden coat rack to make it into a stake ready to kill the Salvatore brothers. "I repeat, you cannot beat me. So, I want the two girls, I'm gonna count to three or heads will roll. Do we understand each other?" He threatened not backing down until he had what he wanted, in moments Elena appeared on the top of the stairs. Appearing to be able to surrender to him. "I'll come with you, just please don't my friends, they just wanted to help me out." She begged holding something in her hand that she was clutching to her stomach. Elijah used his super speed to go up the stairs still with a stake in his hands. "What game are you playing with me?" With that Elena threw a vervain bomb in his face that exploded in seconds. He screamed out in plain as it burnt his skin but heals immediately, he went back towards Elena but was cut off as stefan arrived. Stefan shot him with a compressed air weapon, shooting stakes at hi. But it wasn't working so he ditched the weapon and tackled the original down the stairs. Elijah got up immediately but Stefan stayed on the floor he was about to stake stefan. Alessia saw an advantage, looking at the wooden coat rack stake on the floor she knew what she had to do. She quickly grabbed it, using her vampire speed she appeared in front of Elijah staking him in the heard pushing him against the wall. As he was about to die she whispered something only he could hear. "I'm sorry for this Lijah" she whispered with a saddened face although she knew she had to do it to gain her brothers trust back. Alessia knew that he wasn't dead and that he would wake up in a few hours give or take. Rose saw that he was dead and quickly left the pace, Damon tried to follow her but it was too late. "Just let her go" Elena told him, Damon smiled softly at her, she smiled back. Elena ran down the stairs into Stefan's arms. "Hey come here. Are you hurt? Are you okay?" Before she could say anything, Elena embraced him, Alessia looked between Damon and Elena too see that they were both looking at each other with a heavy heart.

Alessia saw that her brothers were too interested in the safety and welfare of Elena to care about her. "It's 1864 all again" She commented speaking to herself, Stefan was the first to notice how his Twin wasn't right. "Lessia" He spoke softly, letting go of Elena to go to his sister. He wrapped his arms around Alessia, the twins stayed hugging each other for a few minutes until Damon joined in hugging his younger sister. They were all close at one point but all fell apart. "I want to go home" She looked to the Elijah's dead body pinned against wall and then back to her brothers. They nodded their heads knowing that it was time to leave. "Come on let's get out of here" Damon announced before picking up his younger sister carrying her bridal style, Alessia smiled softly before wrapping her arms around his neck falling asleep in his arms. Being vervained over and over had taken a lot out of her, all she wanted to do was to sleep. She was reunited with her brothers again.

She slept throughout the journey back home with her feet lying on Stefan's lap so she could sleep comfortably. When they arrived back at the boarding house Stefan carried her up to her room leaving her on her bed so she could sleep. Alessia woke a little bit later with seeing Elijah made her feel a little bit of nostalgia remembering back to the days she was with Klaus and lived with the Mikaelson's. The salvatore sister walked over to her dresser where she kept an old jewelry box. Inside was all the little things she kept over the years, from her childhood then vampire years. There was something that caught her eye and what she was looking for. Inside was a beautiful vintage diamond wedding ring and band, she picked up the rings. Tears fell down her cheek as she was remembering back to the times when she was happy with him. Stefan was about to go in and check on his sister, he could see through the gap his sister sat at her dressing table. Looking at the rings, he left his sister to be alone. Thought it better to not ask questions, just to leave her be.
