Madison Gilbert or as 'Madds' or 'Maddie' as most people call her is the younger cousin to Elena and Jeremy and she just so happens to be a witch and a world class gymnast as well. Madison didn't find out she was a witch until she was fourteen when her father died which then lead to her moving in with grandmother who told her about her magic ancestry since her mother passed away when she was just a baby. Even though Madison didn't know she was a witch she had known about the supernatural world longer than the rest of her friends because her father Charles Gilbert taught her the basics of the supernatural world when she was just a little girl just to be on the safer side. But anyways, what if Elena wasn't the only doppelganger? What if Katherine had a cousin named Marie and Madison just so happened to be her doppelganger? And if Madison isn't a doppelganger for Klaus's sacrifice like Elena was, then what for? This is the story of how the youngest of the Gilbert's tries to balance high school; the intense world of gymnastics; vampires and werewolves; trying to maintain a social life, and falling in and out of love all at the age of sixteen.

(Okay, so I guess kind of think of Victoria Justice in a way as to what Maddie looks like, I think her and Nina kind of have a similar look to one another, so to me that would make pretty good cousins lol)

Chapter 6

As lunch came, all four of the girls met at Maddie's locker, Elena already filling Caroline on the details of the plan earlier on. All four of them made their way to the cafeteria making causal conversation trying to blend in like nothing was up all while keeping an eye out for Stefan.

Once they spotted him looking around with dark eyes in the middle of the lunch line Elena took a deep breath before slowly walking over to him. He raised his eyebrows as he saw the determined look plastered on her face. "Elena." Maddie herd Stefan greet her cousin as she cautiously walked away from Bonnie and Caroline to lean up against a wall not too far away from Elena as they went to the lunch line a few people behind them to listen in as well.

Maddie grabbed her power bar from her satchel to munch on and for her to look like to any spectators watching that she was just waiting for her friends to get their lunches as she ate her's casually. "Stefan." She herd Elena say her voice hard. "Can we talk…?" She said hinting that she wanted to go somewhere private. But they all knew with his attitude change that he would go against her wishes.

"I don't see the problem with right here?" He said with a smirk on his face thinking that she wouldn't expect that reply. Elena faked a good hurt expression and shifted awkwardly on her feet purposely stalling to make it look like she was nervous.

"It's just that I know you're still in there somewhere…and I know you can fight this-"

He interrupted her, "Elena don't waste your breath, I really don't have time for you trying to get me to turn my emotions back on, because it won't work"

"Stefan don't say that! I know if you try you can get back to who you were, you just got to look deep enough."

"I don't want to flip the switch back on. I was weak then. I was pathetic. I'm strong now, and I could care less about how that makes you feel." He said narrowing his eyes down at her. Maddie scoffed and put her hand over her jean pocket where the calculator was tucked in. She looked towards Bonnie and gave a slight nod.

Out of nowhere the power went out in the lunch line causing almost all the students to jump and shout things like 'what's going on', and telling each other watch it as people shoved each other. She said the words to the spell silently in her head as her hand was still placed over her jean pocket. And for a spilt second she felt the calculator disappear and something about the same size reappear.

When the power went back on, Maddie saw the confused looks of both Stefan and Elena and she then looked down at her jean pocket pulling the object out halfway and smiled recognizing it as Stefan's phone. She gave a thumb's up to Bonnie and Caroline and walked out of the lunch line area towards the exit of the cafeteria. She waited outside the cafeteria doors for a few moments before all three girls came out all looking around for her.

"You got it?" Elena asked a little out of breath.

"Yes ma'am." She said with a nod as they made their way down the hall towards Alaric's room to keep out of earshot of Stefan.

Relief washed over Elena's face, "Good, now what?"

"You three head back to lunch and eat like nothing's going on. If all three of us skip lunch he might suspect something and go looking for us. I'll stay here in Alaric's room and take care of this." Maddie said waving the phone in the air.

"You need to eat too though." Caroline said.

"Don't worry, I got the rest of my power bar and I packed a sandwich this morning. I'm all set, so you three go and act normal."

The other three girls nodded their heads and turned on their heels heading back to the lunch room ready to keep this little act going. Madds opened Stefan's contacts and started to scroll through them till she found Klaus's name.

She sat in one of the front row seats in the history classroom pulling out the rest of her power bar and her sandwich taking a few bites of each while debating on what exactly to say in the text that would sound like it was Stefan talking, not her.

After a moment of pondering she began to type the text. After reading it a few times and wondering if it wasn't too short or too board she push sent.

Stefan: There's a problem, something happened.

Sure, she knew it wasn't anything clever or witty. But it was the best she could think of and something that she thought seemed believable enough to what Stefan would say since he was all non-caring and stuff now. And before she knew it she got a reply.

Klaus: And exactly what would that be?

Stefan: There was an accident. Elena took a tumble down a flight of stairs right before 3rd hour of school.

Klaus: And how does she fair?

Stefan: I fed her my blood, but she did lose quite a bit of blood from the fall.

Maddie cringe, she knew it wasn't the best thought-out accident, but she needed something that would be believable but not overly dramatic where the hospital was needed. She just hoped that the hybrid would buy it.

Klaus: And what of my other doppelganger?

Maddie flinched; she really did not like being called a doppelganger…now she knew how Elena felt when she was first discovered as the doppelganger.

Stefan: Maddie?

Klaus: Yes that would be the one. There has been no accidents with her has there? She hasn't hurt herself in her gymnastics' training, no?

Madds groaned pounding her head down onto the desk she was currently sitting at….so he seemed partly concerned with Elena's wellbeing, but seemed more concerned with her's. 'Just great' she thought sarcastically to herself knowing what she had to do now.

Stefan: This morning she came to school with a bruise on her left forearm the shape of a hand.

She knew that if Klaus was as concern and interested in her as he seemed then that would for sure spike his interest into coming back to the Falls sooner rather than later. She just hoped that the hybrid would never find out who actually gave her that bruise. Because even though he was a real-class ass right now, she did not want Stefan to suffer at the hands of Klaus anymore then he already has.

Klaus: And. Who. Gave. Her. That. Bruise?

Maddie gulped.

Stefan: She wouldn't say, she's been hiding it from everyone all day by wearing a long sleeve.

Klaus: I see…Any news of the whereabouts of Mikael?

Stefan: No sign of him, if I were you, I would call my brother a bluff. This wouldn't be the first time that he has put his foot in his mouth to get himself out of a tight situation.

Klaus: Hmmm I see.

Stefan: So are you coming back to town? This whole babysitting thing isn't really working out all that well.

Klaus: Yes, expect my arrival within the next two to five days.

Maddie heaved a breath feeling accomplished. She didn't think it would be this simple to convince him to come back to town this easy. But it also unnerved her knowing that it wasn't him knowing Elena had hurt herself for him to come back, but that the fact that him being told that Maddie had a little bruise from someone that he was coming back. She gulped she hoped that she didn't just put herself into a sticky situation by saying that.

She pulled her own phone out from her back pocket and text Caroline asking if Stefan was still in the cafeteria and if he noticed his phone was missing yet. Her phone buzzed no less than thirty seconds later.

Caroline: Yes he is still here, and he is completely unaware that his phone is M.I.A.

Maddie: Okay great. I'm on my way back. I'm going to switch the phone back now before he does realize its missing.

Maddie put her own phone back in her back pocket and placed Stefan's phone in her side pocket but not before deleting the conversation with Klaus for safety processions and walked out of the empty history class just as Mr. Saltzman was turning down the hall to his class. He tilted his head as he got nearer to her. "Did you need something Madds?"

"Ahh….no, not really…I came here for some privacy…" She said while taking Stefan's phone out again and waving it.

"No need to explain, Elena filled me in on the plan a little earlier, did it work?"

"Yep, he said he'd be here within two to five days."

"That's a lot quicker than I thought. Damon said Katherine and Mikael won't be getting here for a few more weeks…"

"Well, it's better to have Klaus here early then to have him here late I suppose…we'll just have to deal while he is here is all." Maddie said with a shrug.

"Yea I suppose we will…" He sighed running a hand through his hair before nodding down at the phone in her hands. "You better go and do the reverse to that spell before Stefan figures out his phone is now a calculator."

"Ahhhh yea…getting to that right now." She said with a snort almost wishing that she could see the look on Stefan's face if he were to find out that what he thought was his black IPhone was currently a plain black algebra calculator. That would definably be a priceless thing to witness. She tucked his phone back into her packet walking quickly through the halls back to the cafeteria. As soon as she sat down at the table she gave the other three girls a smile and raised her eyebrows up with a nod to tell them the planned worked.

"How long till…" Elena mumbled under her breath incase Stefan or Rebekah who were sitting a few tables over were listening.

"Possibly by the end of the week." Madison said just as quietly.

"That's fast." Caroline noted as Maddie nodded her head in agreement.

"You gonna do it now?" Bonnie asked softly wondering if she was going to do the reverse to the spell now or wait till history.

"Yep." Maddie said popping the 'P'. She turned her head to look over at Stefan and Rebekah to see that they were silently eating their lunch together not attempting to make any conversation to one another whatsoever, she frowned slightly. But Madison pushed away her guilt she had for Rebekah and concentrated on Stefan thinking of his pocket with her calculator in it. She placed her hand over her jean pocket with his phone in it and felt the switch happen.

As soon as the switch took place she saw Stefan reach down for his phone and pulled it out probably thinking it had vibrated with a text. But seeing as he had received nothing he squinted his eyebrows together and shoved it back into his pocket thinking that he must've just thought he felt it vibrate.

Madds let a breath of relief out all while trying to stiff a laugh while reaching into her own pocket for her calculator tossing it into her satchel, then replacing it with her own phone from her back jean pocket putting it in the right pocket it was usually always in.

"That went perfect with no glitch at all!" She said with a smile looking at her friends.

"Yea…now we just have to deal with Satin for a while till his dad gets here…." Caroline pouted as the bell rang.

Maddie and the gang walked to their own separate lockers and she went to grab her things for Chemistry before walking over to Rebekah's locker that was slightly down the hall from her with a small smile on her face. "Hey, so how was your official first day of school ever yesterday?"

Rebekah looked down to see the shorter girl at her side and a bright smile appeared on her face. "It was actually very decent. I find today to be much more interesting though with the actual teaching part taking place instead of the learning of the rules and such as we did yesterday."

"Yea, I do have to agree with you there. The first day back to school is always pretty boring besides seeing everyone that you didn't get to see over summer break…so have you made any new friends yet?" She asked hoping that the blonde vampire had made at least a few friends by now.

"Yes, I actually have. They invited me to eat lunch with them today, but I thought that I would give Stefan some company…but that was just a little too painful to have a repeat for tomorrow."

Madison laughed, "Yea, I saw that during lunch today. If the circumstances were different I would have invited you to each lunch with us, but…" She said scrunching her face together.

"Yes, that would have not gone over well with your friends. It is okay though; tomorrow I will eat with the girls that invited me today, no worries."

"Okay good!" Maddie said smiling as that walked into the English classroom.

"So I heard from my brother not too long ago today."

"Oh?"

"Yes, he plans on returning to Mystic Falls."

"What about Mikael possibly coming here to hunt you guys?" Maddie said playing along with her so she would believe that she didn't already knowing about Klaus's planned return.

"He simply said that the threat of Mikael is most likely non-existent."

"Oh, I see." Maddie said looking straight ahead not sure what to say.

"Yes. So have you given any thought to what we had discussed yesterday?" Rebekah asked looking at Madison with hopeful eyes.

"I actually have, and I have decided that I will give this a try." Maddie herd the words come out of her mouth before she could stop herself. She was still unsure about the whole situation and told herself that she wouldn't make a decision for a few more days, but after looking into Rebekah's hopeful eyes she couldn't help but say yes to the forever seventeen year old girl. And after blurting out a yes without thinking Madison knew she couldn't go back on her word now, especially with the look that was now on Rebekah's face.

Rebekah closed her eyes heaving a sigh as a huge smile appeared on her face, showing a beautiful set of white pearly teeth. "You have no idea, Madison, how much this means to me. Truly you don't, this means the world to me!" She gushed as she reached out to Madison's hands holding them for a few moments giving them a soft squeeze.

Madison looked over at her new dare she say 'friend' and smiled back at her. She truly looked like a little girl on Christmas, and she hopped that she could find some sort of change in Klaus before Mikael was scheduled to get here.

Because she really didn't want her new friend to go through the pain of losing a family member that meant a lot to them. She knew all too well how that feeling felt, and rather you were vampire or human the feelings were all the same and they all sucked the same.

Reviewwwwwwwww! If you guys want more then i need reviews to know that you guys do!
