Chapter 1

Mystic Falls sometimes felt like it was the only place in the world especially with all the vampires, witches, werewolves, originals, hybrids and all around fuckery but it was only about an hour outside of Alexandria. Bonnie laughed at that.

"What are you chuckling about," Caroline said turning down the Katy Perry song that was playing.

"Oh nothing just reflecting that Mystic Falls sometimes feels like the only place in the world even though we are only an hour away from Alexandria," Bonnie said.

"Yeah I know what you mean but look here we are," Caroline said.

They parked and shopped for an hour till Bonnie had to go to the bathroom. Bonnie had been looking down at her phone when she bumped into someone. There was an instant shock that went through her body that reminded her of her dream from earlier that she hadn't registered whom she had bumped into and when she looked up at the smiling face of…..Stefan.

He had spotted the two girls almost as soon as they walked in. He had been turned around talking to a pretty red head and then a smell hit him. It was the smell of dead flowers but it wasn't bad or offensive just strange then he smelled earth like the forest from back home and fire. It was a flame to him. His wolf wanted to give chase to that smell. Then he saw them. The one with a smell of dead flowers was a tall leggy blonde that had a blue dress on with a cream jacket. The one made up of earth and fire was a short caramel skinned girl with long black hair.

He let his wolf senses see her and he found that her heart and heat out shined anyone he ever met. He smirked and his senses dulled again. He had to know who this ungulate girl was. So he followed her and left the red head prattling to herself. He saw his chance to meet her when she ducked into the bathroom and her blonde friend went into Victoria's Secrets. He waited until she came out and was texting on her phone and he bumped into her. He steadied her by her elbows and found that her skin was soft and there had been an electric shock that flowed into him and made his wolf howl at the pleasure it caused.

She looked up at him with a pair of the most luminous eyes that he had ever seen. They were dark green like the forest leaves but had flecks of gold that sparkled in the florescent lighting. At first she was confused looking at him and then she grew angry.

"I have nothing to say to you Stefan," the girl said and she lacked the distinct southern lit to her voice. Then she wrenched herself out of his hands and slapped him.

Okay, he thought in confusion as he turned his face in pain. The girl got him good.

"That is for what you let happen. What are you doing here anyways? Aren't you off trying to find a new way to kill Klaus? Is your brother here? God I knew I should have never left the house today. Stefan, how about you do me a favor and leave me out of it? I already helped and what did I get, a dead mother. So leave before I set you on fire like I did to Damon," the girl said spinning on her heels and stomped her way out of the darkened corridor.

Who the fuck is Stefan, he asked standing there recovering from the verbal whiplash. He growled and turned around to follow the girl. He needed answers especially if he was getting slapped by girls because of him.

The nerve of that ripper son of bitch, Bonnie fumed inside her head. She spotted Caroline looking at a display of honey dust.

"Did you tell him we were here," Bonnie said in a harsh whisper.

"Who," Caroline said taking aback.

"Stefan," Bonnie said.

"Uh no last time I saw Stefan he was locked up with Alaric doing research on our original problem."

"When was that," Bonnie said.

"This morning," Caroline said turning back to the display.

Then a familiar voice said "You and I need to talk."

Caroline turned and saw Stefan gripping Bonnie by the arm.

"No I have nothing to say to you Stefan," and Bonnie whispered something and it broke several of his fingers and loosened his grip on her. He howled and everyone in the store stopped.

Caroline then went into action mode and pushed both of them out of the store and into the side alcove.

"Stefan how did you know we were here. I didn't say anything this morning," Caroline said.

"Ow shit, how the fuck did you do that and who the fuck is this Stefan guy," Stefan said.

"You didn't think giving aneurisms was my only tri— wait what did you just say," Bonnie said staring at the guy.

"How the fuck did you do this," he said holding up his mangled fingers.

"No the thing about Stefan—"

"Bonnie he's alive," Caroline said focusing on his heartbeat.

"What," Bonnie shrieked.

"Oh my god, I can hear his heart beating" Caroline said.

"Ah….ah….Dormi," Bonnie said pressing her hand to his forehead and instantly he slumped back and slid down the wall.

"Bonnie oh my god what did you do to him," Caroline said her voice taking on a hysterical pitch.

"I put him to sleep. It shouldn't have worked if he was a vampire," she said placing her hand over his hand. She whispered the words Sana, Sana, Sana and his hand and fingers healed back in place.

"Jesus look at him Bonnie, he is Stefan's doppelganger and he's alive." Caroline said running her fingers over his face.

"Great the one time I get out to do something normal like shopping, we run into a doppelganger. What the shit is that?"

"Well we can't leave him here," Caroline said digging in his pockets.

"We can't take him to Mystic Falls what if Klaus finds out about him," Bonnie said now in white hat mode. Caroline was silent for a few seconds before she found what she was looking for.

"Ah ha," she said turning to hold up a key and his wallet. The key had a keychain that read Motel 6 and the address to the particular one.

"Well we'll take him to his motel and find out what he knows and then I will compel him to forget everything from today," Caroline said. Caroline picked him up and Bonnie led the way through the stairwell to the parking garage.
