I do not own the Vampire Diaries
Part 2
Both doppelgangers waited until Klaus' footsteps echoed far off into the distance of his mansion before a word was spoken. Once his footsteps became faint, the girl on the left, Elena, spoke up. "Why did you tell me to stay quiet in the car? We might have been able to talk our way out of this mess."
"Are you kidding me?" asked Katherine, "We had a small advantage since we're dressed alike for what was supposed to have gone down tonight when the boys find Elijah. If he knew the difference between us, he would have killed me and gave you the cure. It bought us time." Katherine pulled at her wrists trying to free them as Elena had done earlier but it was no use. The ropes practically dripped vervain.
"What do we do now?" Elena said with panic in her voice, "The boys aren't due back for hours, and we have to decide who becomes human in fifteen minutes. Why the hell is he even doing this? He told Stefan the only reason he wanted to find the cure was to destroy it, not make hybrids. They're practically useless since Tyler figured out the sire bond is breakable."
"I'm not sure, but something's definitely got him spooked," Katherine answered, "He's scared. Hybrids provide protection and security. That's the only reason he would make a rash decision like this. We know he has Silas on his trail to get the cure and hand it over to him. If he's willing to piss Silas off, then something big is happening."
"I can't believe this is happening right now," Elena signed looking towards the ceiling. Elena never wanted to become a vampire. She made that truth evident with Stefan. But I guess it was always her destiny. Vampires stayed in her life and once you're in that world the only way to leave is death.
She admitted she had grown accustomed to vampire life in the last few months. She felt powerful and confident. She had finally found Damon, and he continued to guide her through this new life. But a chance to be human again? She wished for that chance the day she completed her transition. Could she really live the life of the doppelganger she once had lived? Klaus leering around the corners prying for her blood every second. Having control over her life until the end. He attempted to drain her of all her blood more than once, and he could easily try it again if his hybrids became useless as they did before.
"Elena," Katherine snapped, "Pull it together! We don't have much time left. He wants you to have the cure, so you might as well prepare for it."
Elena glanced over at Katherine. The Elena Gilbert façade she mastered all but disappeared. The identity of Katherine Pierce glazed over the girl, and the masterful attitude surfaced. Her posture changed and the muscles in her face tensed. As the famous Katherine Pierce identity returned, a slight sense of fear appeared in her brown eyes. Klaus may be scared of whatever brewed in his world, but Katherine was even more terrified of the events that might follow these short minutes.
"Would you take it?" Elena peeped almost nervous to ask the question. She had once been threatened by Katherine, but that had changed when Elena figured out her game and how to beat her at it. Plus, they played on the same team this time, although she did not put full trust in her. Neither did Stefan, Damon, or the rest of her circle of friends. Elena had to put what trust she had for the vampire in motion soon though because time continued to quickly pass by.
Katherine turned with a confused stare, "He won't give it to me. This is just a sick game he wants us to play. He knows no one will look for us for hours. He has time. He'll waltz back in here and pick at us a little more. Then he'll smart off at me about all the lying and betrayals I've done. Then Klaus will force you to drink the cure, while he shoves a stake somewhere in my body. You'll become human and I'll be sent somewhere to be tortured. And that will continue for centuries until he tires of it, and then he'll make me suffer a long drawn out death."
Elena felt a slight feeling of pity for Katherine as she finished, "Wow you already have the scenario mapped out in your head."
Katherine grunted followed by a tiny giggle, "I've been dreaming of this nightmare since the night I fled England with the moonstone. It's almost a relief actually. I always knew he'd catch me eventually. Over five hundred years I've ran, not too bad for a peasant girl from Bulgaria. I don't think anyone thought I would make it this far, not even Klaus himself."
The look in Katherine's eyes gave away her trip to the past she currently traveled on. Elena allowed her the moment as she entertained her own thoughts.
"You know what though?" said Katherine breaking the short silence, "I waited and watched for the doppelganger to appear, and I knew the best chance I had at killing Klaus, or making a deal, or just fixing what I screwed up would be at that time."
"But Klaus didn't know there would be another," stated Elena, "That's why he was so angry. He thought you ruined his only chance."
"Yeah I know. I definitely had the advantage since he never knew the Petrova line continued with my child."
"Was it worth it?" asked Elena, "Running, faking your death, all of it?"
Katherine pondered the question and then replied, "I thought I could finally get Klaus in the end. That someone like him shouldn't be able to win. But it turned out it wasn't meant to be me that eventually outsmarted him or beat him at his own game. No one has affected Klaus the way you and Stefan and Damon and the rest of your friends have. Not in a thousand years. You gave him a run for his money. You got closer than anyone else. I just thought I'd say that to you."
Elena turned her head and attempted to look behind her to see if Klaus was anywhere near. She listened closely for his footsteps but could tell he was nowhere close by. She might regret this one day, but something inside her told her it was the only way.
"Katherine what do you really want?" she asked sternly and confidently.
