Chapter Three:

I stand in a house full of supernatural beings. I see Elijah first, and then a man with light brown hair swept up, and these light green eyes. Stefan, I presume. And then my eyes land on Katherine, er…Elena.

"Hello, my name is Felicity Ledger, and this is my husband James." I gesture towards James, who is standing to the right of me.

"Alright everyone introduce yourselves." Damon announces, and gestures with his hands.

"Hello, I'm Jenna." A caramel blonde girl waves to me from a loveseat.

"I'm Elena. It's nice to meet you." The Katherine clone says from her seat in a chair. Just behind her. Hovering over her is Elijah.

"I'm Elijah." He says. I can tell he's studying me. Trying to figure me out.

"I'm Stefan." The man with green eyes and light brown hair says.

"And I'm Alaric." A man with dark hair and a scruffy beard introduces himself.

"Who exactly are you?" Elijah asks, stepping forward.

"Uh…I think that should wait. At least until we have some privacy." I tell him, wringing my hands. I can't help but be nervous.

"The main goal is to stop Klaus from performing the ritual. And that's what Felicity and James are here to do." Damon interjects.

"Our friend Alaric was just released from Klaus' control. We're trying to figure out what happened." Damon informs me and James.

"So you don't remember anything that happened?" Stefan asks Alaric.

"No. It's like I blacked out and woke up three days later." He explains.

"Katherine was there." Alaric adds.

"She was under compulsion. Damon snuck her some vervain, but she can't leave until Klaus tells her she can." Stefan says, crossing his arms. I've missed a lot. So Katherine is with Klaus. Huh.

"Where is Damon?" Elena asks.

"I saw him go upstairs." Jenna says. I notice Damon is missing. How could I have missed that his sarcastically humorous presence was missing? Elena pushes herself out of her chair and goes upstairs after him. Like I had originally thought, there's a story there. Alaric sighs.

"So what else did I do?" Alaric asks. Jenna stares at him deep in thought.

Jenna and Stefan shake their heads. I hear every sound from upstairs. Elena stops in a room. Her heartbeat accelerates.

"You disappeared." She states pointedly.

"I didn't want to hear anymore." He says sharply.

"I need you to understand why I'm doing this." She says tiredly. Like she's been saying the same thing over and over.

"Why?! Clearly doesn't matter what I think." He says loudly.

"I'll be fine Damon. I'll drink the elixir, Bonnie will kill Klaus, and then all of this will finally be over." I hear her footsteps getting closer. Wait a minute…Kill Klaus?!

"I'm sorry…I didn't know the plan was to kill my brother." I say exasperated.

"Brother?" Elijah says, shocked. Everyone in the room stares at me, eyes wide and jaws dropped.

"Yes. I'm Niklaus's half-sister. We were conceived by the same father. I'm also a hybrid." I clarify.

"How? We are the only Original vampires. We are the Original family, I've never seen or heard of you. You must be lying." Elijah accuses me.

"Why don't you prove it?" Alaric suggests. I shrug my shoulders. I look around for a wooden object sharp enough to pierce through my chest. Stefan is gone in a flash, but he returns with a wooden stake. I stab myself in the chest. I know this won't kill me. I fall back, right into James' arms and then everything goes black.

I open my eyes, and look down. The wooden stake protrudes out of chest. I rip it out, and my skin turns back to normal. The wound instantly heals.

"She is an Original. How?" Elijah inquires, coming over to me, extending his hand.

"My guess is as good as yours. That's why I came here. To figure how all of this is happening. It seems whatever happens to Klaus, happens to me. We are linked somehow." I say, taking his hand. I then notice we aren't at the Salvatore residence.

"Where are we?" I ask.

"My house." Elijah answers. I see James standing off to the side, looking out a window.

"Elijah, we can't let Klaus die." I beg. He deserves a second chance.

"I know." He states. And with those words, I feel like I've found a companion, an ally in Elijah. We won't let them kill Klaus. I know it just like Elijah does.
