Thirty minutes later, John was placed in the ICU. He was attacked by a vampire named Katherine which Elena explained to her and Jeremy to have been her ancestor and looked exactly like her. Claire not wanting to be caught off guard again went to a forest which was rumoured to inhabit poisonous snakes and sought them out. She found three copperhead snakes and asked them if they could aid her. It was an amusing sight for her to see them snap and hiss at each other claiming to her that each of them where the most loyal and willing to aid her. Claire seemed to have forgotten how snakes considered it a highest honour to serve any parselmouth. She took them home and placed them in the tree beside her bedroom window and instructed them not bite anyone but to keep a lookout for any strange person that chose to approach her house.

…..Lockwood Estate…

"We haven't officially met, i'm Katherine."

Bonnie glared at the Elena look alike standing a few steps away from her in the unoccupied small lounge room. The other guests who had visited to pay their respects to the recently deceased Mayor stood in other rooms.

"I know who you are." Bonnie said confidently. She made an incorrect assumption that she could take her down after having read and practiced a few dark spells from her ancestor's grimoire.

"Of course you do." Katherine smirked a little. "You are the best friend, right? I've been putting pieces of Elena's life together." She began to approach Bonnie slowly who in turn took a defence position observing her carefully.

"Isobel told me that it was a bit of a puzzle… i do know who Jenna and Jeremy are, and i have met that delicious ex boyfriend Matt." Katherine said as she circled around Bonnie without a care in the world.

"Of all those people, the only one that actually caught my interest was Claire….Elena's fraternal twin."

Bonnie blinked a little momentarily forgetting about her stalker. Elena told her little about her twin of course. She only knew the basics that she was raised in England.

"Her record is impressive."

Bonnie then looked at Katherine wondering what she meant.

"She won two gold medals in martial arts championship at the age of fifteen, made a powerful speech that went on to be printed in the British newspapers and some of the most powerful and influential men made a few bets that she would be the next Prime Minister if she continued on with that path."

Bonnie gaped in shock her eyes widening at that information making Katherine chuckle.

"You didn't know this?" she asked mockingly making her narrow her eyes.

"You mean to tell me that Elena never told you about this….why? Was it jealousy?"

Bonnie couldn't take any more of the smug look she was receiving from Katherine and decided to attack.

Katherine staggered back a little placing her palm on her forehead moaning in pain only to drop her arm a second later with a sinister smile.

Bonnie gasped when she felt a steely hand circle around her throat and be slammed back against a wall.

"I've been around for a very long time Bonnie." Katherine said as she squeezed her throat a little.

The double doors beside Bonnie suddenly burst open revealing a room filled with guests who were conversing with one another.

"Very nice Bonnie." Katherine congratulated impressed.

"Katherine."

She turned and smiled at that familiar voice.

"Stefan."

The boy in question only glared back.

"Leave her alone."

Katherine released Bonnie and moved towards the crowd passing Stefan by.

"Mistressss! There is an intruder in your sister's bedroom."

Claire who was about to go to sleep stepped over to her drawer and pulled out a vervain dart she had stolen from Ric's car and stepped out of her bedroom headed straight for Elena's only to pause in anger when he saw Damon strangling his brother. Elena who was standing five feet away from them appeared to be trying to reason with a vampire to let go of Jeremy.

"You wanna shut out the pain! It's the easiest thing in the world….all you have to do."

Claire who had correctly guessed where this was headed rushed towards them and stabbed Damon in the neck injecting the toxin in his veins before pulling it out.

Damon then released Jeremy choking a little and took a step back before falling to the ground faint.

"What did you do!?"

Elena sucked in a huge breath at the dark glare she received from Claire.

"Are you alright Jer?" she moved closer to him when she saw him looking down at Damon rubbing her throat.

"Y-year t-thanks."

"I think you better call your bloodsucking boyfriend to come and collect this parasite before i decide to go and fetch a stake and finish what John started." She hissed coldly at a now frightened Elena.
