Four
Nadine starred at her ceiling trying to process everything she had learned so far. She could feel that the Original family loved her but that was only going off what she had seen and then saw right before she passed out. She heard footsteps approaching and heard the worried thoughts of her sister. Her twin was angry at Elena and rightfully so as the blonde vampire finally realized the doppelganger's true nature. The door to the bedroom opened and she looked over to see her sister walk over to lie next to her on the bed.
"I remember when you put these up here," Caroline spoke softly staring at the stars, "You said that you loved the stars and they made you feel at home."
"I was a naïve kid back then," she said with a sigh feeling so much pressure on her shoulders.
"I wish things were like that again. Dad hates me for being a vampire and while Mom has no issue with either of us Elena is trying to kill you for being connected to the Originals and Tyler is being a jackass," Caroline rambled.
"I can't explain it Care but I love him," Nadine explained or at least tried to tears in her eyes.
"No matter what Nadine you have my support," the vampire reassured.
The two sisters lay together on the bed starring up at the stars as they contemplated the new situation. Caroline knew that she had lost Elena as a friend but she wondered if the doppelganger was ever really her friend considering she had let Damon off for abusing her. None of that mattered though because the only thing that mattered to her was that her twin needed her and she would always have Nadine's back no matter what. It helped that she had felt drawn to Klaus though that wasn't really important Nadine was.

Liz Forbes sat at the kitchen table knowing she had to do everything in her power to protect her children. Her sister agreed to take them in and help them but it would mean that her daughters would have to move to New Orleans. She heard two sets of feet come down the stairs and looked up to see her daughters heading into the kitchen laughing. They both looked at her and seemed to freeze as if sensing that something was going on.
"I need you girls to sit down," Liz ordered softly.
"Mom," Nadine said shaking her head already knowing.
"Please girls," she begged giving them both a look.
"What's going on?" Caroline asked looking back and forth between her sister and mother.
"I have come to realize that you girls staying in Mystic Falls is impossible. Damon abused my little girl without me knowing and now not only do the Salvatore's as well as Elena want both of you dead they also don't care how it happens. I need to be able to protect you and the only way I know how is to get you both out of here. Your Aunt Emma agreed to take you girls in and she knows about the supernatural so she will be a big help. I know that both of you might not like this but it is the only way I have to protect you both," Liz explained.
The twins were silent as tears fell from their eyes and they each took their mother's hand in theirs. Nadine couldn't help but feel like this was her fault for having been born but something inside her told her that it would all be okay and that this was for the best. She felt Caroline wrap an arm around her and leaned her head down so that it was lying on her twins shoulder.

Emma Morgan grumbled under her breath as her sister finally came to her senses. She had always known that her niece was special in many ways and while she was a child of fate she was also a descendent from Morgana La Fey. Liz seemed to be handling the fact that her twin daughters were both supernatural creatures very well something that Bill could not do. She turned her head as the Vampire King Marcel approached her.
"I heard you are getting two guests," he said fishing for information.
"Yes I am and don't worry they will not be a problem," Emma explained; "Besides you need to worry more about those pesky witches than my two nieces."
"I am still surprised that you would turn against them," Marcel told her.
"I am not like them. Vampires must exist because without them the world would be overrun and overpopulated. Besides that they are there to act as a balance to werewolves just like werewolves act as a balance for them and while witches believe they are the balance they are wrong which is why fate decided to make a new witch descended from Merlin and Morgana," Emma said giving him a look.
Emma turned her back and went about cleaning up the bar. Marcel was a good ruler but sometimes he could be a right pain in the ass. She didn't care about the problems facing this city due to the witches being power hungry and believing an old wives tale. She cared about her two nieces and making sure they lived a full life and damn anyone that got in her way.

Nadine glared at her twin wishing she wasn't here at the Bennett house but Caroline had wanted to speak with Bonnie before leaving. She sighed knowing that the witch was the better option but Bonnie could be judgmental beyond belief and she hated how the witch had first treated her sister. Bonnie opened the door and seemed surprised to see them both there but invited them inside anyway.
"I need to talk to you," Caroline demanded while Nadine sat back and narrowed her eyes when Bonnie only seemed to look at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Nadine asked harshly.
"It's just you don't realize how special you are and I'm surprised that you didn't kill Elena from her thoughts alone," Bonnie answered.
"What was she thinking?" Caroline asked feeling out of the loop.
"Basically that you deserve everything that happened with Damon and that she's better than everyone else," Nadine answered feeling that her twin deserved to know the truth.
Caroline felt like her heart was breaking after hearing that but soon that turned to anger. Elena had helped her escape from Damon but then it seemed like the doppelganger just no longer cared about what he had done to her. She shook her head knowing that this wasn't the time to be angry or feel betrayed because they needed answers from Bonnie and answers they would get no matter how much the truth hurt.
