Chapter 7,
Elena's POV
We reached the boarding house and it was nine, I had asked Alaric to invite Jenna over, Damon and I had decided it was best if Jenna knew the situation, Everything.
We went in to find Jeremy and Bonnie waiting on the porch for me,
"Bonnie! Jer!" I said in excitement as I went and hugged them,
"Hey!" They said,
"I got your message." I said and Bonnie beamed at me, I entered the room to find Jenna, Stefan, Rose and Katherine there.
"Aunt Jenna?" I said looking at my aunt. I was surprised to see Katherine here.
"Elena! What is going on? I don't understand." She said and I motioned her to sit down and told her everything that happened this summer, to say that my Aunt was surprised would be an understatement,
"Oh my! Elena, I always knew that the Salvatore's were vampires but I never knew that the doppelgänger curse was true..." She said,
"Wait you knew?" I asked,
"I knew from Jonathan." She said,
"So what now?" She added,
"We wait for Elijah." I stated simply,
"I need some time to think about this." Jenna said and stood up to leave,
"I'm coming too." Alaric said,
"Bonnie and I are going to the grill." Jeremy said and left, leaving me, Stefan, Damon and Katherine.
"Ooh! So what do you want to do Elena? How about we exchange brothers." Katherine teased and I made a disgusted face,
"Katherine, we need to talk." Damon and I said,
"Bout what?" She asked her hand circling Stefan's chest,
"Klaus." I said,
"Well well well, what do I get in exchange for information?" She asked,
"Come on Katherine, they need the info." Stefan said,
"I know. And I can give it... Just not for free." She said smirking. "You know I got to know that you were the original doppelgänger, If Elijah finds out where you are you better hang on to your head." I said suddenly pissed off at Katherine, what fueled the fire was her cocky arrogant smirk,
"You certainly have the Petrova fire in you. 1490 in Bulgaria, I had a child- a daughter. My father thought it brought shame to their family so they disowned me I fled to England where I assimilated into English society but I was recognized as the Petrova doppelgänger by Trevor and Elijah. Trevor who had fallen in love with me helped me escape, they healed my wounds by giving me vampire blood and I hanged myself so I would turn. I ran ever since. I got back to Bulgaria and saw that Klaus had killed... no murdered my family in cold blood. Since 520 years I have been running. It's funny I came here to offer you, bonnie, the moonstone, first Mason and now Tyler and Caroline to break the curse. But... I'd rather kill Klaus then hand you over Elena." She said and for a second I saw a flash of emotion in her eyes but it went away,
"You cold heartless bit..." Damon said,
"Damon!" I exclaimed,
"She did what she had to do to survive, you cant blame her for that." I said,
"You really are something Elena, after all the things I did to you, here you are defending me. Do you pity me or do you generally care?" She asked,
"Believe it or not I do care. I care for you, knowing the fact that the first chance you'd get you'd kill me but I still care." I said solemnly,
"I hope Elena, that you survive. And for that you should ingest a vial of vampire blood every day. It will keep you strong, healthy and if someone kills you, you can transition." She said,
"Don't stretch it Katherine, someone might think you actually care." I said and everyone laughed.
Jeremy's POV
Bonnie and I headed for the grill. After sending Elena the message she had fainted and it had scared me to death- not because she was Elena's friend, but because I liked her.
"Bonnie, wait listen." I said to her,
"Yeah?" She said,
"Look, theres something you need to know." I said,
"What is it Jer?" She asked,
"I care for you. I mean I really really care for you." I said,
"Jer.." She said impatiently,
"No, please don't act like this is one sided, like I am a kid crushing on his sisters friend Bon. I like you a lot. And I'm not a kid anymore." I said,
"What would Elena think?" She asked,
"Well for starters she'd know that at least I'm not with someone who does drugs or suck your blood or molts his skin to turn into a giant furry dog- cause trust me thats not appealing." I said and she laughed.
"I do like you Jer, and its more than friendship. But I really don't wanna mess up what we have so..." She said her voice trailing off,
"We can take things slow." I said,
"Really?" She asked,
"Yeah, I mean as long as you don't see some one else. Or is that too much to ask?" I said,
"No... No... Thats fair. So you still up for the grill?" I asked,
"Yeah for sure, I wanna learn how to play pool." I said,
"Great, we'll meet there." She said,
"Actually I came with you to the boarding house, my car is at home." I said apologetically,
"No probs." She said,
"Hey by the way, who is the new witch gonna be?" I said,
"I don't know, but it has to be powerful to break the curse. I'm guessing it will be a young person." She said,
"Why do you think that?" I asked,
"Because, they need either one experienced witch or two inexperienced ones. And from that perspective I think it would mean that." She said,
"Hmm, it does make sense." I said,
Jenna's POV
We made our way to the porch, me and Alaric,
"Alaric, is... is Elena safe? I mean whats going on, one minute she's with Stefan and the next Damon. And Elijah will... he... ki... kill her?" I said trembling with fear,
"Yes she is safe. Damon will make sure of that. You don't worry okay. Everything, is gonna be alright. Just trust me." He said looking into my eyes.
"Okay. Okay." I sighed and took a few deep breaths. It was all gonna be okay.
Alaric smiled sweetly at me,
"Close your eyes." He said and I closed mine, I felt him take a box out and open it. Then I felt something wrapped, tied? Around my neck. A necklace. Aww! But that wasn't all, I also felt him put something on my arm.
"Open them." He said simultaneously opening the door and leading me inside, I dashed to the mirror and gasped, it was a gorgeous .20 ct. t.w. Diamond Necklace In Sterling Silver with a spring ring clasp and a beautiful .15 ct. t.w. Diamond Bangle Bracelet In Sterling Silver to match it,
"Oh my god! Ric this is amazing, its soooooooo beautiful and expensive and beautiful. Thank you so much! But whats the occasion?" I asked before I kissed him,
"Well, I am glad you like it. Its for our one month anniversary." He said and I blushed,
"Oh I forgot, I had planned dinner and candles and chocolates and I was gonna by you a sexy pink shirt and we'd have wild hot sex. I totally forgot, I am such a bad girlfriend I am sorry." I said and Alaric smiled.
"No problem, and hey look on the bright side we can still have the wild hot sex." He winked as we both laughed.
