I wake up with a groan feeling as though my head is about to burst. I open my eyes and my vision is blurry so I shut them tightly before opening them again. I come face to face with a man who's smirking at me. I raise an eyebrow in question and he shows his vampire face. "Am I supposed to be scared by that?" I ask him my voice sounding rough and I almost blanch. He just stares at me smirking again. "Just a little taste..." He trails off and I'm confused until he leans towards me. My eyes widen as I understand what he's about to do and before I can register what's happening, my body is already reacting to the threat. My leg rises and I kick him away, my magic helping me and he flies back into a wall. I stand up quickly, all my movements causing me to feel dizzy but I regain my balance and stare at the vampire. "Keep your fangs away from me." I tell him hoping to sound threatening but my voice still sounds rough and cracks a bit. He stands up and growls but before he can attack again a woman enters and stops him whispering something. After they finish whisper shouting the guy leaves.
"Doesn't seem like you need saving." The woman says and walks closer. "Your sister on the other hand..." She trails off looking at the side. I turn to follow her gaze. Elena is lying on on the couch in an awkward position. She never knows when to shut up. "What do you want?" I ask her. "With you, nothing. You're just an added bonus, a Petrova twin and that too a witch. Sit down and stay quiet." The woman says and leaves. I groan massaging my temples as I feel like I'm going to get sick. I sit down on the torn couch trying to think of ways to get out of here. I come up with nothing but a severe headache and nausea. I lean my head back, close my eyes and take deep breaths a few times before I hear a movement. I open my eyes to see Elena is up. Just what I need another headache, a living one at that. She starts moving and gestures me to follow, I just give her deadpan look before gesturing her to leave alone. Does she seriously think she can leave without two vampires hearing her? As she leaves I look around hoping to find my clutch since I had stakes in it and the fake moonstone. I find it after looking for five minutes and just in time as the female vampire walks in. Elena walks in after her and I roll my eyes.
"Why am I here?" Elena demands and I sigh in annoyance. She's going to get herself killed. "You keep asking me these questions like I'm gonna answer them." The female vampire says annoyed. I'm going to call her pixie. "Why won't you?" Elena asks. I don't know Elena maybe it's because you're annoying her. "That's another one." Pixie says mockingly. "You got me, okay? It's not like I can go anywhere. The least you can do is tell me what you want with me." Elena demands. They don't owe you anything Elena. "I personally want nothing; I'm just a delivery service." Pixie tells her. "Delivery to who? Elijah?" Elena pesters. "Two points to the eavesdropper." Pixie says mockingly again and I almost laugh. I control myself and instead focus on the task at hand. I take a stake from the clutch and hide in the couch. "Who is he? Is he a vampire?" Elena questions. No Elena he is bunny. I take the other one and the moonstone out. "He's one ofthevampires, the originals." Pixie informs Elena. The Originals? "What do you mean the originals?" Elena persists. "Again with the questions. Haven't the Salvatores been teaching you your vampire history?" Rose questions. "So you know Stefan and Damon?" Elena asks and I can hear hope in her voice. "I know of them. A hundred years back, a friend of mine tried to set me up with Stefan. She said he was one of the good ones. I'm more of a sucker for the bad boys though but I digress." Pixie tells her. I wrap the second stake with the moonstone and put it on the couch. I sit down not wanting to actually faint. "Who are the Originals?" Elena asks again."Trevor and I have been running for 500 years. We're tired, we want it over. We're using you to negotiate ourselves out of an old mess." Pixie informs. What kind of a name is Trevor? "But whyme?" Elena emphasizes. "Because you're a Petrova Doppelgänger. You're the key to breaking the curse." Pixie says and I turn towards them. This conversation just got interesting. "The curse? The sun and the moon curse?" Elena inquires confused. "Oh, you do know your history." Pixie retorts. "What do you mean I'm the key? The moonstone is what breaks the curse." Elena says even more confused. "No, the moonstone is what binds the curse. The sacrifice is what breaks it." Pixie tells her. "The sacrifice?" Elena asks scared. "The blood of the doppelgänger. You're the doppelgänger. Which means, in order to break the curse you're the one who has to die." Pixie informs and I realize these people are not joking around and whoever is coming isn't either.
"Tell me more." Elena demands. Stop demanding Elena, before they knock you out again. On second thought that would be very helpful. "Captivity has made her pushy, eh? What do you want to know doppelicious?" Trevor asks. Gross. "Who were you running from?" Elena asks again. "The Originals." Trevor says simply. "Yeah, she said that. What does that mean?" Elena says losing patience. "The first family, the old world. Rose and I pissed them off." Trevor explains. The first family? "Mm-hmm." Rose clears her throat. "Correction, I pissed them off, Rose had my back and for over half a millennium, they wanted us dead." Trevor corrects. "What did you do?" Elena questions. "He made the same mistake countless others did: he trusted Katerina Petrova." Rose says. Of course. I swear all men are the same. "Katherine." Elena announces. "The one and only, the first Petrova Doppelgänger." Rose says. How can she be the first one? Is she the first doppelganger? "I helped her escape her fate and now I've, sorry, we've been marked ever since." Trevor informs. "Which is why we're not gonna make the same mistake again." Rose clarifies. Great then. What to do? Maybe we could jump out the window, I mean they obviously don't have daylight rings. And we will hopefully survive the fall. Or we could wait for Stefan and Damon. Neither of those sound smart. Hopefully Lexi and Lee come along.
I'm sitting on the couch with Elena whose glaring at me. "What Elena?" I ask her tierdly. "Do something." She tells me. I give her an are you serious look and she just huffs. Very mature. "He's here! This was a mistake." Trevor says coming back into the room. "No, I told you I would get us out of this. You have to trust me." Rose assures him. "No! He wants me dead, Rose!" Trevor exclaims. "He wants them more." Rose tells him. And here I thought I was only an added bonus. "I can't do this. You give them to him, he'll have mercy on you but I need to get out of here." Trevor insists. "Hey! What are we?" Rose questions. "We're family, forever." Trevor says with a little determination. We hear a knock from downstairs and the two of them look even more scared. "You're scared." Elena says. Way to state the obvious. "Stay here with them and don't make a sound." Rose says and leaves. Elena starts pacing as Rose leaves. "If you're done torturing the floor maybe you would like to have a seat." I say sarcastically to Elena. She stops and glares at me. "Aren't you scared? Do something." Elena orders again. "Of course I'm scared Elena. Also what do you expect me to do? Defeat not only two 500 years old vampires but also one of the first ever vampires. One that's impossible for me to do alone. Two I'm little low on energy. And three I feel sick and my head is about to burst. So sit down Elena you're only helping everyone get more nervous." I tell her and she stomps her feet letting out a huff before pacing again. I just sigh and shake my head before closing my eyes and leaning my head back.
Soon enough I hear Elena gasp and open my eyes to see some guy leaning towards her. "Human. It's impossible." The man I'm assuming is Elijah says. "Hello there." Elijah says looking at Elena once again before looking past her towards me. He speeds in front of me but I don't move. "And who would you be?" Elijah asks. "Someone you won't have the pleasure of knowing." I tell him and he smirks. "We'll see about that." Elijah says and I raise an eyebrow. He moves towards me and I take the stake I had hidden in the couch. He pulls me up and I put the stake in his stomach. He doesn't even react just looks down before looking at me and takes the stake out. Well that was useless. "I would apologize but well... I'm not sorry so." I say not being able to think too clearly. Elijah just stares at me and then looks into my eyes. "Who are you?" Elijah asks. "I am... someone you can't compel." I inform him. "She's a Petrova twin and a witch." Rose says from behind. "That's... unheard of. We have a long journey ahead of us. We should be going." Elijah says. "Please, don't let him take me." Elena pleads to the two other vampires. Gee Elena thanks for remembering me.
"One last piece of business and we're done." Elijah says ignoring Elena. He walks towards Trevor and I can see Trevor practically trembling. "I've waited so long for this day, Elijah. I'm truly, very sorry." Trevor begs. "Oh no, your apology's not necessary." Elijah says politely but with an edge to his tone. "Yes, yes it is. You trusted me with Katerina and I failed you." Trevor tries to explain him. You're digging yourself a deeper hole. "Oh yes, you are the guilty one and Rose aided you because she was loyal to you and that now I honor. Where was your loyalty?" Elijah questions and I can hear the threat in his tone. "I beg your forgiveness." Trevor pleads. "So granted." Elijah says with a fake polite and nice tone. Elijah raises his hand and the next moment Trevor's body is laying on the ground while his head is somewhere else. I turn my head away, trying not to get sick as I feel my nausea returning. Rose screams and Elena gasps. "You...!" Rose screams. "Don't, Rose, now that you are free." Elijah says looking at his hands as though worried about getting them dirty. "Come." Elijah says to us. "No, what about the moonstone?" Elena asks. Oh my god is she mad? "What do you know about the moonstone?" Elijah questions. "I know that you need it and I know where it is." Elena tells him trying to seem confident. "Yes?" Elijah urges. "I can help you get it." Elena tries. "Tell me where it is." Elijah demands. "It doesn't work that way." Elena tries to negotiate. "Are you negotiating with me?" Elijah questions her with disbelieve. He looks towards Rose in question. "It's the first I've heard of it." Rose tells him trying to control her tears. He looks at Elena and tries to compel her before looking at her necklace. "What is this vervain doing around your neck?" Elijah questions before ripping the necklace from her neck and throwing it away.
"Tell me where the moonstone is." Elijah compels Elena. "In the tomb, underneath the church ruins." Elena tells him. "What is it doing there?" Elijah asks. "It's with Katherine. The other one is with her." Elena informs him. I can't believe they gave the moonstone to Katherine, even if it's the fake one. No wait I can, cause they're all idiots. Elijah looks towards me when Elena finishes. "Interesting." Elijah states. He releases Elena and speeds towards me, "Where is it?" Elijah asks. What do I do? It's just a fake one. I gesture with my head to the couch and he sees the wrapped moonstone. He takes it and uncovers it. He throws away the stake and puts the moonstone in his blazer? "Why are there two? How?" Elijah asks me. "I made one to fool Katherine." I tell him. "Which one would that be?" Elijah questions. "I'm sure you can find out on your own." I tell him and he smiles at me as though thanking me. Jerk. We hear a crash and Elena turns to give me a look. I just shrug my shoulders. You gave away the location not me. "What is that?" Elijah asks. "I don't know." Rose responds sounding angry. "Who else is in this house?" Elijah asks again. "I don't know." Rose says again. "Seems like the cavalry is here." I whisper underneath my breath but Elijah obviously hears me and snaps his head to me. He seems ready to say something but there's another crash.
Elijah grabs Elena and me and starts pulling us out of the room. When we're near the entrance someone rushes past us. Elijah pushes Elena towards Rose who grabs her. His hold on my upper arm tightens and I hold in a whimper. What is it with vampires manhandling me? Someone rushes past again. "Rose." Elijah says firmly with an undertone threat. "I don't know who it is." Rose tells him honestly. "Up here." A voice says and Elijah looks around before speeding up with me. I hold onto my head as the dizziness returns. He looks around before another voice states, "Down here." Elijah spins around and I feel nausea build. Suddenly there's a sound and there's a stake through Elijah's hand. I look down to see Elena and Rose have disappeared while I'm stuck. Great. I turn to Elijah and he's just staring at the stake as though it's some inconvenience and not an actual stake through his hand. He takes it out turns to look at me before sighing. He takes my arm and walks down again. "Stay here." He orders me while slightly pushing me towards the corner near the entrance. "Gladly." I tell him while massing my temples and trying not to get sick. "Excuse me. To whom it may concern, you're making a great mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't. Do you hear that?" Elijah says while walking towards a coat rack. He rips it from it's place and then rips off the hooks. "I repeat, you cannot beat me. So I want the girl on the count of three. Or heads will roll. Do we understand each other?" Elijah questions while breaking the coat rack into a stake. I look up when I don't hear any response but then see Elena come towards the steps. Elijah turns too. "I'll come with you, just please don't hurt my friends, they just wanted to help me out." Elena tells him and suddenly I'm rushed somewhere else.
I open my eyes to see Lexi and Lee. "Thanks for the rescue but please stop doing that." I tell her and she looks at me concerned. "You okay?" Lexi asks. "Not really, I feel sick and my brains about to melt or burst." I inform her and she nods. "Don't worry, we'll get out of here soon." Lexi says and then speeds away. Lee and I turn towards the stairs when we hear a crash. It seems that Stefan and Elijah tumbled off the stairs. Elijah stands up and ready to attack Stefan when suddenly Damon walks in with the coat rack. He puts it through Elijah's stomach and starts pushing. But it seems as though Elijah can handle himself. Lexi joins him but it didn't help. Elijah is an 'Original' after all. I sigh before heading towards the entrance. Hopefully I have enough energy to help. "Ari don't." Lee says. "Just make sure I don't hit my head again." I tell him and clench my hand on my side, the other one wrapped around my talisman and start the aneurysm spell. I can hear Elijah groan before there is a bang. I open my eyes to see Elijah's skin turn grey as Damon holds onto the stake. I stumble back a bit feeling drained but regain my footing. Rose appears in the room looking at Damon in disbelieve before speeding away. "Just let her go." Elena says as Damon is sit to go after Rose. He stops and looks at her, "Are you okay?" Lee question from behind me and I shrug. "In all honesty I feel like crap. Let's just get out of here." I tell him and he nods wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I look towards Elena who is smiling at Damon. I swear she is turning into a second Katherine more and more everyday. She rushes down the stairs and Damon looks hopeful but she goes towards Stefan who was being helped by Lexi.
I focus on myself instead of the triangle drama and realize that my head is even worse. I walk a little away from Lee who is now taking to Lexi. I close my eyes taking a few deep breaths before opening them again. But my vision gets blurry and I clench my eyes shut hoping to make the dizziness go away. This probably won't work but hey no harm in trying. I open my eyes again and my world tilts before my eyes roll to the back and I hear someone scream. My feet loose balance and I fall.
