Recap:
Inside the tomb, when Katerina's vampire sense detected no one around, she finally let go. She turned on her feelings and felt as all those feelings she locked up long time ago, came flowing back in. There were so many of them it took her by surprise, she waited as that particular feeling came to her...that feeling where she fell in love..then betrayed, she gulped down the lump in her throat that was preventing her to speak her mind infront of Elijah, she glance down as she felt tears rolling down her pale cheeks.
Elijah sat back in his seat in the car, thrashing his head side to side, trying to get rid of that beautiful voice in his head "Ugh!" He groaned, hitting his head hard againstthe dash board. It amaze him how one girl could mess up his mind like this, twice and lives to tell it...
-midnight-
Elena was no fool, Elijah isn't that cryptic as he thinks he is, to her at least. She noticed how he promised he'd make sure to keep her love ones alive, but never promised about her life. As she lay in her bed, she looked out the window, staring endlessly to the night, she was willing to do anything just to keep her family safe and sound, even if it means losing her life. They have done so much for her all these years, the only way she knows how to repay them is to at least keep them away from any supernatural disaster as possible. Elena yawned, her eyes were starting to get heavy, she sighed before drifting off to a deep slumber.
Elijah walked into the Manor he is currently staying at for the time being, striding over to the parlour he poured himself a glass of bourbon, after gulping all the content of his glass he then sighed deeply, sliding the moonstone in his pocket he spoke in a husky tone "I'm not making that mistake again, never." He swore as he drank from the bottle itself. No matter how hard he tried to get Katerina out of his mind, he knew he was still recovering from her. It baffled him how he could let one girl make him fall in love...twice. Katerina was the total opposite of Kassandra Petrova, the first doppelgänger, yet she also manage to be the exact duplicate of her. Katerina and Kassandra were both stubborn, they shared that trait no doubt, but Kassandra was a quitter, whenever things gets hard she gives up, on the contrary with Katerina. Elijah loved that about her, despite Katerina's tough façade, he believes that, the human girl he met 500 years ago is still there, Katerina just need to want it badly enough to feel her again.
As Katherine laid on the stone bench inside the tomb, her mind travels back to the little encounter she had with Elijah. She was no longer in love with him, she forbid herself to do that. He tried to kill her, and no matter what happens, whenever in their future encounters, she won't let that happen again, she will be ahead of him. It's her turn. Seeing him again caused a huge whirlwind in her head, those feelings, memories, hopes...She sighed deeply as she felt her veins rubbed together like sand paper, it has been a while since she had blood 'Damn them to hell!' She thought, as she felt the excruciating pain. She refused to scream, cry out or anything. She was a strong woman, she won't let a tiny little pain hurt her.
-Tomb-
"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...How I wonder what you are.." Katherine sang in a croaky voice, she groaned roughly feeling a tight pain just below her throat.
"Hello Katherine." A woman said, somehow Katherine knew that voice, but her brain was too painful to use. Katherine helplessly tried to get up, and walk to the door of the tomb, as she was getting nearer to the door a female figure stood before her.
"Well Well, if it isn't my friend Ariel." Katherine smirked, she met Ariel 10 years ago, Katherine saved her from a mob who tried to burn her after learning about her true being; witch. "What brought you here?" She asked, leaning against the stone wall, and crossing her arms across her chest.
Ariel was a red head, pale skin and green eyes. She was a little short for her age. "Well you of course." She replied back. "I came here to be your heroine."
"Oh no thanks, I prefer cocaine." Katherine remarked sarcastically. It was one of the things she enjoyed doing to the red head, plus she makes it all so easy for Katherine.
"You know very well what I mean." She rolled her eyes. "But, I'm not doing it for free this time. I'm here to offer you a deal, take it and your outta here." She added, copying Katherine's current pose.
"I'm listening.." She replied, fierce coming back to her voice.
"I heard Elijah's in town.." Ariel begun.
"Yeah, so? Want me to be your wingman? Sorry honeybear, He's off limits."She replied carelessly, only realizing what she said when all the words were out of her mouth, but she kept the amusement expression tightly in place on her face, to make it look like she was kidding.
"No" Ariel barked at her, fortunately for Katherine this little red head wasn't too smart. "I want you to help me kill him..." She trailed off, unsure if Katherine will agree to this.
"What?" Katherine questioned, she hated Elijah that's for sure but she never thought she'd be the one to kill him. Yes she was planning his demise, but she was going to get someone else to do it for her, Damon for instance. "Why?"
"Because he killed my brother! I want revenge Katherine! I want him dead!" The woman spat viciously, Katherine knew this is her only loophole. She can't betray her for now, the witch is powerful, and Katerina herself needs all the help she can get.
Katherine pretended to think about it first "Fine, just get me out of here!" She demanded impatiently.
"I knew you'd agree to it!" Ariel smirked before closing her eyes and started murmuring in a language Katherine did not understand, she assumed it was Latin, but she don't know Latin so she'll never know.. "Your free." She said after a few minutes.
Katherine hesitated to walk out of the tomb, Ariel in encourage her . "I'm free.." She smirked, finally out of that damp, cold, stuffy tomb. "So what's your plan witchita?" She asked Ariel, not raising her gaze to meet hers.
"Now that's for you to think about my dear. I have to leave for now, but I shall be back 4 weeks from now to check on your progress. " Ariel replied back to her, handing her a blood bag. "Remember, I have enough juice to finish you off." She reminded her lastly before walking up the stone steps.
Katherine drank from the blood bag as she watched the red head leave. "Bitch." She muttered under her breath. Now where the hell is she going to go? Everyone in town hates her...well the ones who knows about her existent. A smirked tugged on Katherine's lips when she realize something. "John.." She whispered to herself, malice on her tone.
Wasting no time, Katherine walked to a pay phone machine and dialled John's phone, she smirked hearing his ever so impatient voice "Hello John."
That was the voice he was beyond scared of, he knew very well Elena would never call him. "Katherine.." He said, his voice just above a whisper. Even though he could not see her, he knew she was probably smirking right now.
"I miss you." Katherine taunted, knowing the man held great fears towards her. "Listen buddy, I need a place to stay. And YOU are going to help me." She said, sounding like an ordered instead of a request.
"Why? I thought you were in the tomb?" John asked carefully, not wanting Katherine to think he was happy she was trapped in the tomb, but if he were to be honest...he was more than thrilled.
"Sorry to disappoint you John, but nothing can keep me away." She replied fiercely. "Come back here in an hour or your family are so dead." She threatened before hanging up. "Humans and their feelings.." She thought. She knew how much humans cared for their family, she felt it once upon a time..
-3 hours later-
Katherine sat at the park, waiting impatiently for John. A lot of people greeted her thinking she was Elena, she was such a mess, however she manage to get some clothes off someone, tacky and revealing but it'll will have to do for now.
Elijah was walking around in town, having a conversation with the Martins, but he made sure not to slip anything important in case for...unwanted presence. Gazing his eyes all over, he spotted Elena sitting by the fountain. He decided to walk up to her "What part of keeping yourself safe did you not comprehend?" He questioned her seriously, but also smirking at the same time.
Katherine was confused, she narrowed her eyes at him then realize he mistaken her for Elena. She stood up from her sitting position, and walked closer to him "Well, you can punish me if you want." She said to him, using her sultry tone. She caress his collar and smirked at him.
Elijah closed his eyes and counted one to ten in his mind, trying to re-gain his calm from that embarrassing mistake. "Of course, Katerina. I should have known better you'd find a way to get out of that tomb." He replied, his voice contained annoyance and amusement. He didn't push her away, in fact he found her closeness rather exciting, her revealing outfit makes it all the more thrilling.
Katherine smirked at him before taking her distance from him. "Of course, I didn't want to miss anything when Klaus kill you all." She taunted, keeping her smirk in place. "And having my favourite Original in town...I couldn't resist." She added in a playful tone to remind Elijah she was joking...so she makes herself believe.
"I'm surprised you haven't fled." Elijah said simply to her, finally giving her the honour to look at him.
Somehow Katherine felt a pang of guilt hearing him say that...
As Elijah cupped her face in his hands, he kissed her forehead "It shall be alright my dear." He said softly to her, giving her a loving look.
"Elijah..he wished to kill me." Katerina reminded him, tears starting to cloud her dark brown eyes.
Elijah had told Katerina about Klaus' real intention and what he really was, but he did not tell her what HE was. He knew Katerina puts him in a pedestal, if she were to know the truth about him...she wouldn't be able to look at him ever again. "I shan't let him hurt you...I promise you, and I shall keep that promise till the day I die." He reassured her.
Katerina looked at him ever so tenderly, before planting a powerful kiss on his lips. How long she wanted to taste them, her fantasies did not do them justice. After their long, hot passionate moment, Elijah trailed his thumb over her cheeks before taking her in his arms.
"I have my own business to do here." She replied simply, saying no more.
The amusement has disappeared from his face, they were replaced by a cold glare. "Of course. You have your business. I believe...saving yourself." He remarked, adding the last one in an icy tone.
Katherine was more than relieved when she saw John walking towards them "Well It's not my fault I was born selfish." She said to him lastly, knowing he'll get what she meant. She gave him a good bye smirk and walked passed him and towards John "You have no idea what I'm going to do to you!" She glared at John for being late.
Elijah secretly gritted his teeth out of annoyance...with himself. Of course she was not born this way, he and Klaus made her that way...or rather pushed her to be that way.
John walked Katherine to his car "Who was that?" He questioned her, as he opened the door for her.
"Elijah." She said simply, but it was enough to bring shivers down John's spine. She got in the car, and looked out of the window to Elijah, he was also looking back at her. No matter how far he was, she could feel the power from his stare, she looked down breaking their gaze.
Few minutes later, John has brought Katherine to an old building, just a few blocks away from Mystic Falls Park. "Here. This is my only property here in Mystic Falls." He chimed to her when he noticed she was awfully quiet.
"This will have to do." She replied finally. She got out of the car in a hurry. "Get me some clothes, and a new phone." She requested, but in a demanding tone. John opened the door for her, and let her in first, nodding at her demands.
"Yeah, I'll be back tomorrow with a few things then." He said, looking around. The place was in a terrible state, but why does he care?
"You better." She answered coldly,and motioned for him to get out.
-Evening-
For some reason, Katherine had cravings for human food. After stealing a few clothing from some random stranger, she left her 'apartment' wearing black leather pants, tight fitting bloody red top that says 'bite me' in black writings, waist coat and ankle boots. Leaving her dark curls cascade on her shoulders. When she walked in the grill, she was greeted by Matt who thought she was Elena, he rather found her new look...exiting.
"What can I get you Elena?" Matt asked softly as he watch Katherine take her coat off and resting it on the side.
"You." She flirtatiously said. Giving him a wink, and a provocative smirk. She bit her lip as Matt shifted nervously. "Oh don't worry Matt, you know I'm just playing you. How about steak." She chuckled at him. "Rare please." She added, and smiled charmingly at him as he scurried away. Katherine sat back, crossing her legs under the table as she looked around the grill, maybe she'll spot someone her doppelgänger knows.
"Hey Elena." Alaric said, as he sat down at the same table as Katherine, thinking she was Elena. "Where's Damon?"
Katherine smirked, it was getting easy pretending to be her doppelgänger, even Elijah fell for it. "Well you know Damon, probably bothering Stefan, and whatnot." She replied, copying Elena's tone perfectly.
"How come your alone here? Original on the loose." He reminded her. That confirmed Katharine's thoughts. It was indeed Elena who told Elijah about the moonstone and where it was.
"It's fine Alaric. It's just Elijah." She said softly to him.
Alaric narrowed his eyes at her, how strange. She never usually call him 'Alaric'. "Well you can't be too careful.." He trailed off, when he glance over Katharine's shoulder he saw Elena walking in the Grill with Stefan and Damon on either side of her. He looked at Katherine in horror.
"What?" She asked, annoyance visible in her tone. Then she realize. He was looking at something. She assumed it was probably Elena "It's really getting easy being her." Katherine smirked deviously.
"Katherine..." Alaric acknowledge, secretly gulping. He stood up and backed away from the vampire.
Elena and the Salvatore Brothers saw Alaric from a distance. "Hey buddy" Damon said, grinning at him. He noticed the fright in his eyes. When he looked down...he saw those dark curls, and instantly recognize her. "Katherine.." He whispered, Stefan and Elena gave him a puzzle look.
"She's in the tomb Damon.." Elena reassured him.
"Yeah...you might want to try that again." Katherine smirked, getting up from her sitting position, and faced the trio. "Hello Elena, Stefan...Damon." Her smirked grew wider, seeing the shock in their eyes.
"H-How did you get out?" Stefan questioned in horror. Of all people, why is Katherine back? She'll ruin their plans.
"Oh dear..lovely, Stefan. 145 years and you learn nothing." She stated viciously. She had long accepted the fact that Stefan will never love her again, he has Elena as her replacement now. "I got out, because I wanted to." She added, crossing her arms. Katherine felt movement behind her "I wouldn't try that Alaric, unless of course you want me to slaughter every single person in this building." She added, her tone full of venom.
Elena gave Alaric a look, he understood completely. He lowered his stake that was under his sleeves and walked pass Katherine, and stood beside Damon.
"Why are you here? There is nothing for you here." Elena said to Katherine. She remembered perfectly that time she spent with Katherine, it was short but meaningful. However she also knows that Katherine isn't here to bond with her.
"Oh but there is. The fun has only begun. I for one doesn't want to miss any of them." Katherine said to them sarcastically. "Well it was lovely to see you all, but I have things to do." She continued, walking pass the four of them "Oh, and Elena. Pay for my steak would you." She added lastly before walking out of the grill.
"Finally, fresh air." She said to herself when she was finally out of that 'stuffy' room, inhaling the fresh air deeply she saw a masculine figure walking towards the Grill. "Oh god no...let it be anyone but him." She whispered, pursing her lips.
"I heard that." Elijah smirked, stopping in front of her. "How are you Katerina. Or should I call you Elena?" He asked her sarcastically. "Whatever it is your here for, keep out of my way and I might actually spare your life."
"Another shattered dreams." She answered back, with much sarcasm in her tone as him. Katherine allowed her lips to tug a smirk "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it in the tomb Elijah, so don't even give me that bullshit." She stated, when she motioned to walk pass him, he pinned her against the cold stone wall of the Grill by the neck.
"Have respect Katerina!" He hissed at her, yet also keeping his calm at the same time. "I can kill you without even blinking." He added viciously.
Katherine didn't remove the smirk off her face, instead she licked her top lip. Which Elijah found rather sexy. "Go on." She said breathlessly "I dare you!" Elijah was strong, he may not even be trying, but he was still strong.
Elijah remained silent, he did not breath a word. How could he kill her really...He could never forgive himself if he would. But he could not let her see that. "I play rougher than you expect me to Katerina."
"We can all play rough Elijah." Katerina smirked, as if she was not held by neck.
Elijah took his time to be silent. It baffled him; He waited for 500 years to kill this vampire, he has her by the neck yet he still hasn't touched a hair of her. But also at the same time, he just wanted to take her in his arms "Then maybe we'll be seeing more of one another." He finally spoke, his English accent ever so charming, his features softened up a little, he loosen his grip of her neck and backed away from her.
Katerina rubbed her neck, re-gaining her strength, he looked at him in the eyes "I'll make sure of it." Those were the words that ringed like a bell in Elijah's ear, He watched as Katerina ran in a immortal speed, if he wanted...he could have ran after her...but he didn't..
When he was finally alone in the car park, Elijah allowed himself to inhale deeply. He couldn't believe he was in the verge of breaking in front of Katerina, which was what she wanted. He could not allow himself to be victimize by her again.
Elijah came to the grill hoping to catch Elena, he wanted to warn her about Katherine. When he walked in he saw the horror in Elena, Damon, Stefan and Alaric's faces, he assumed they must have found out on their own. "I'm assuming you know.." He begun, but was interrupted by Damon.
"Kath's here?" He continued for him. The way Damon acknowledge Katerina, somehow brought a pang of jealousy within Elijah. It implied how close they once were, if it wasn't because of Katerina's betrayal they could have been together...
"Yes." He replied simply.
"How did she get out?" Elena asked softly, she noticed something changed with Elijah. He looked more panicked, yet also calm...if that was possible.
"I do not how, but whatever she is here for. We shan't let her get in the way of our plans." He simply said, saying no more. He wanted to keep the plan to himself, he knew very well that if the Salvatore's were to know about his real plan, they would not agree to it. Thus ending up breaking his promise to Elena, and jeopardizing his honour.
"You obviously don't know Katherine. She would never listen to any of us. If she wants something, she'll get it. One way or another." Damon said to Elijah, oblivious of the fact that Elijah knew her long before he or Stefan did.
"Oh believe me, I am very aware of that." He replied to the young vampire, showing no emotions. Not when the matters are regarding Katerina.
-The next day; Jenna's House-
Jenna ran downstairs in a panick "Oh boy oh boy oh boy!" She said as she tried to gather her stuff while also having her breakfast.
"Late?" Elena questioned her, as she ate last night's leftovers.
"tsk tsk tsk..." Jeremy said playfully, before sitting down at the counter and having his cereals. "That's what you get for staying up late with Rick.." He said to himself, but also a secretly attack to Jenna.
"You slept with my history teacher?" Elena exclaimed playfully. She knew all along, but to taunt Jenna was just too tempting.
"Oh shut up and eat your pasta!" Jenna shot back, and took a sip of her coffee. "Elena, why are you eating pasta?" She asked, as her eyebrow rose up.
"Because I'm hungry, and Cereals are so over-rated?" She chuckled.
"Those are bad pasta..." Jenna trailed off.
Elena looked at Jenna in horror "WHAT?" She exclaimed, pushing her plate away from her. "Oh damnit! I have P.E today!" She groaned 'And french...I need all the strength I can get.' She thought, She still needed to get use of the fact that she'll be seeing Elijah everyday from now on.
"You know what, just stay home. I'll get Rick to give me all your homework." Jenna suggested, as she sat down comfortably and begun eating her toast.
"Uh..Jenna, did you forget something?" Jeremy questioned, he and Elena gave their aunt a look.
"Oh shoot!" She cursed, as she drop her toast, grabbed her bag and left the house in a second.
Elena chuckled "Well that's off school for me." She smirked at Jeremy, who gave her an eye roll. "What?" She laughed.
"Lazy ass." He teased. "Well I'm off, I'm walking today." He sighed, sliding his bag over his shoulder and walked out of the house.
As Elena watched her brother leave, she pouted. She was going to be left alone today, what the hell is she going to do? She walked upstairs and pulled her drawer open, she took her diary out and begun reading the first page. It's been a while since she opened this thing.
-School-
"Hey Caroline!" Stefan called out from afar. Caroline turned her head back and crossed her arms across her chest. "What?" He asked, seeing as the blonde looked as if she was about to explode.
"Elena's what? She flirted with Matt yesterday at the grill!" She pursed her lips, Matt was standing beside her.
"I swear man, I'm not lying." Matt backed up his girl, yes he loved Elena, but that was a year ago.
Caroline gave Matt the daggers, telling him to shut it. Matt held his hand up in defence. "What is going on Stefan! If you two are having some problems, tell her to take it out on someone else!" She added angrily, grabbing Matt's hand, and dragging him with her.
Stefan watched the two blondes walk away. He knew very well it was not Elena who flirted with Matt, it was Katherine.
"Hey, what's going on?" Bonny asked, as she walked beside him, her eyes also watching Matt and Caroline leave.
"Well Katherine impersonated Elena yesterday at the grill and flirted with Matt...now Caroline thinks Elena's trying to get Matt back.." Stefan ran his fingers through his hair as he tried to explained everything fully to bonny. "I couldn't tell Caroline the truth since Matt was standing there.."
"Don't worry, I'll fill her in." She reassured him.
The bell rang for the first period...which was French.. "Oh well that's me. See you later Stefan." She said, as she waved good bye and walked into the school, and to her first class.
As Bonny took her seat, she could hear people talking about their new French teacher.
"Mr. Smith Is just sooo hot!" One girl said, Bonny couldn't help roll her eyes.
"I know! I heard his from England!" The other one added, squealing.
"Do you mind?" Bonny shot them the daggers, it annoyed her how she couldn't tell them that their 'hot Englishman teacher is a blood sucking vampire'. Bonny turned her gaze to the door and saw Elena walked in.
"Hey, careful Caroline's in a mood." She warned, knowing any minute now Caroline will also walk in through that door.
"Why?" She questioned as she took her seat beside Bonny.
"Because she thinks you want Matt back." Bonny whispered to her friend. Elena gave Bonny a puzzle look. "Because Katherine flirted with Matt at the grill. " Bonny added because her friend faint out of confusion.
"Ahh.. Well she has nothing to worry about." She reassured Bonny, giving her friend a warm smile just as Caroline walked in the class room. "Caroline, I need to talk to you."
"We have nothing to say to eachother Elena!" Caroline spat, as she looked away and took her seat beside Elena.
"We do, it wasn't me at the grill. It was Katherine. She's out of the tomb..." Elena exclaimed softly.
Caroline slowly turned her head to look at Elena "What?..." She questioned, even though she heard her the first time.
"Katherine is out of the tomb...and she's here, roaming around." Elena added.
Caroline let out an annoyed groaned, and clenched her fist into a tight ball. "That ugly bitch!"
Elena exclaimed, and shot Caroline the dagger, she looked like Katherine. If Katherine was ugly...then so was she.
"I mean..you know.." Caroline added, biting her lip "Oh you know what I mean!"
Elena and Bonny rolled their eyes as Elijah walked in the room.
Gazing his eyes around the room, he couldn't smell Elena's blood, to his surprise she was in the room. But he knew better..
"Good morning class." He greeted, as everyone greeted him back enthusiastically, not so much from certain others. "Alright, so say something to me in french." He offered, as he walked around his desk, opening his drawer he took out a chalk.
Elena raised her hand up. Bonny and Caroline exchanged looks.
"Yes Miss Gilbert?" Elijah played along.
Elena began speaking fluently in French, Bonny was rather surprise considering her friend hated and sucked at French.
Elijah allowed himself to let out a chuckle, was it real or fake? They'll never know...
Elena was smirking when Bonny tapped her shoulder "What did that mean?" The witch asked her. But Elena did not pay any attention to her.
Caroline cleared her throat, as all the blood she has sucked ran up her cheeks. "It means..I wanna... "Caroline whispered really quietly, mouthing the words 'fuck you', she shifted in her seat uncomfortably.
Bonny's jaw dropped as she sat back. This was not Elena...first Elena sucked at French, and she hated Elijah with passion. She gave Caroline a look, but it seemed the blonde has already realize this, so she moved her gaze to Elijah, he didn't look as if he was oblivious.
Elijah knew some of the students in the class were also fluent in french, he could not let them think he tolerate this. "Stay in class when the bell rings." He said to her in all seriousness. Most of the girls were already whispering and pointing at Katherine, or so they think..Elena.
"Gladly." Katherine replied, shrugging her shoulders. Only Katherine would dare to say that to him, however it rather amuses him. No woman, in his lifetime ever dared to challenge him.
As the class went on, Katherine spent most of the time drawing on her note book which she stole off someone. "You do know I can hear you." She said to Bonny and Caroline who were whispering to eachother that they should call Damon.
"Why are you pretending to be Elena?" Caroline questioned fiercely. But god knows it took a lot for her to asked that.
"Because it's easy, it's fun and I'm bored." She replied simply.
"No talking in class please." Elijah said demandingly with his back turned on them, he was writing some things on the board.
Katherine rolled her eyes "So if I were you three, you start having code names. Like cupcake munches or something." She teased, she found the situation beyond funny. But behind all this pretend, she envied Elena. She has everything Katherine ever wanted, family, friends, school, social life, and most of all love...from someone who would want to put his life in the line just to protect her. The offer Ariel gave her was the chance of a lifetime. Elijah help his brother take all those things from her, she must have her revenge.
When the bell rang for second period, everyone left except Katherine. "I have come up with a reason as to why your really here." Elijah started, as she sat down at his desk, while Katherine remained seated in her seat.
"Let's hear it." Katherine asked intriguingly.
"Well you mostly appear when I'm around, or Elena's around or any of the Salvatore's..." He trailed off, Katherine knew where this was going to go. "I doubt your here for Elena, Klaus needs her and if you dare touch a hair on her, he'll come after you. As for the Salvatores...Well you love them, and they are your creation. I doubt it very much you'd wanna kill them, unless you have lost every humanity left in you. So I gathered your here for me, why do you want to kill me Katerina?" Elijah explained, while keeping an amused grin, he raise an eyebrow when he asked her his last question.
Katerina smirked, she should have known better that Elijah was not dumb not to notice her real intention, he spent 500 years searching for her, he bound to know how she works. "That's for me to know, and for you not to know." She replied cheekily, getting up on her feet she motioned to walk to the door, but was stopped by Elijah.
"Enough games Katerina." He whispered, his voice contained serious and calm. "Tell me how you got out of the tomb? And Why?" He compelled her to answer him these questions. This was a chance of a lifetime, he cannot risk anything. Katerina was just an abominations in his plans, he must find out why she's here. And also for personal reason, he was rather hurt just thinking she was here to kill him.
Katerina looked back at him, no matter how hard she fights it, she was falling for his compulsion. "A witch; Ariel got me out of the tomb, but in exchange she made me promise to drive a stake through your heart.." She answered him, in a robotic tone.
Hearing those words, Elijah felt something drive through his heart, much worse than a stake..."So you are here to kill me." He stated, as he released her from his compulsion.
Katerina backed away quickly, having him inside her mind was the most uncomfortable thing ever, she felt as if he was inside her, as if he could see and read her every thoughts, her fantasies.."I wanted out of that tomb...Didn't matter who'd pay the price." She added to the pain she has already caused, of course she was oblivious of that as Elijah refused to show her any feelings he felt for her. She motioned to walk pass him, but stopped right beside him to whisper "And oh...I have lost my humanity.." She added before leaving his classroom.
With that Elijah felt guilty. He couldn't blame her for accepting that offer, after all he lied to her, betrayed her and went after her for 500 years. He is one of the reason as to why Katherine has become what she is now. But when you love someone, you'd love them for everything that they are, including the mistakes they made in the past. Yes, he finally had the strength to admit it. He love her, he always have and he knew very well he'll always will. 500 years he never got over her, why would another make any difference?
-After School; Salvatore Boarding House-
Damon, Stefan, Elena, Caroline, Bonnie, Alaric and Elijah all gathered at the Salvatore's Boarding house. They wanted to talk about their plan when the time Klaus comes in Mystic Falls. Elijah has already told everyone about their plan, and judging by the horror in their faces, he's assuming they're not too happy about it.
"Are you nuts?" Damon exclaimed, pinning Elijah against a book shelf. However, Elijah did not let him boss him around, he fought back by throwing Damon across the room.
"Have respect." Elijah stated, adjusting his tie. "I have an elixir, she dies but she comes back to life." He added, before the other Salvatore could attack him, but he knew Stefan was much more subtle than Damon.
"Does that guarantee 100% to save Elena's life?" Caroline stepped in, Elijah smiled at her for being a little calm about things than Damon, he could tell the young vampire respected him, however he couldn't tell if as her teacher, or as her elder. Not only a couple of days ago that Caroline found out that her french teacher was an Original. The situation still amuse Elijah.
"I'm afraid not. It was meant...for..the other doppelgänger. But she took matters in her own hands, and fled." He explained, however acknowledging Katerina as the doppelgänger, he didn't want them to think he was ever linked to her.
Elena remained silent in the corner, yes she knew he was planning to kill her, but she didn't know he had an elixir, but what surprised her the most is that it was meant for Katherine...so he wanted to save her life after all. Thinking back to the things Katherine told her in the tomb, she sounded as if she had loved him once, and now learning that Elijah had wanted to save her life 500 years ago, made her think...what if he also loved her?
Caroline sighed at Elijah's response "Well that isn't good...Even if the elixir does work, we wouldn't know...and we can't take that risk." The blonde said to the original, but subtly.
Elena turned her gaze to her boyfriend, who looked as if he had something to say. "Stefan, is there something in your mind?" She asked softly.
Stefan looked up at Elena, then to the others. "Well...I do have an idea..but I don't think any of you would agree to it.." He said, adding the last part, he knew better that more than half of the group would discard his idea.
"Well we are always open for a new idea. Go on, do tell." Elijah encouragingly said.
"What...What if we get Katherine to pretend as Elena during the sacrifice? I mean she herself said she's getting good at it.." Stefan suggested softly, taking Elena's hand to his, squeezing it tightly.
"No!" Elijah exclaimed, everyone turned their gaze at him. He could not let Katerina get involved, and not for the reason that she might betray them, but it would put her life in danger. He could not risk that.
"Wait Wait." Damon held his hand up to silence anyone who tries to speak, He gestured for Rick to help him up "Why not? My little bro's right, Katherine is perfect for the role. And she'd do anything to kill Klaus." Damon said when he was finally back on his feet.
Elijah slid a hand inside his pocket as he turned his back on them, and walked to a book shelf, acting as if he was searching for a book "Katerina is not here to kill Klaus. She is here to kill me." He explained.
Elena's jaw dropped on the floor "Why is she out to kill you?" She questioned curiously, and worriedly.
"I do not know anything, except a witch Ariel has asked her to." He replied simply.
Damon rolled his eyes at Elijah's response "Why can't she just betray her, she always do that."
"If I am not mistaken, this Ariel must be powerful. Her life's on the line." Elijah secretly defended Katherine.
"But your an Original, what does she have against you?" Bonny shot everyone a confused look.
"Katerina has spent 500 years running from an Original, She bound to know how to kill us." Elijah answered, finally turning around to look at every one.
Stefan crossed his arms, but in a manly manner. "Think about it Elijah, Katherine is the most useless out of us. She's here, we might as well make use out of her. Offer her a deal, and get her to pretend as Elena during the sacrifice."
Elijah wanted to kill him right on the spot, how dare he call Katerina 'useless'. Just now he realize that none of them has realize how strong Katerina really is. Despite everything, Katerina was human. She knew how to get hurt, and feel a broken heart. Everyone was so caught up with all the things she has done to them, thus they judge her for the horrible deeds she has committed, they never tried to find out as to why she has done it in the first place, He vamp speed infront of Stefan, causing to startle the young vampire "You can live your life 10 fold your age now, but you will never be as strong as Katerina." He said through gritted teeth, he smirked seeing how terrified Stefan has become having Elijah so near him. "Very well, Damon, ask Katerina for help." Elijah said, due to the anger he held for Stefan right now, he didn't even noticed that he called Katherine 'Katerina'.
"Sure.." Damon trailed off as Elijah left the room. He noticed the sudden changed of the Original's behaviour. If he didn't know any better, he'd think that Elijah and Katherine had a past, but whatever they had...for some reason, he felt jealous about it. The way Elijah has defended Katherine...it was like as if he knew her more than anyone else did.
