Chapter Ten

Stefan and Rebekah jumped back when the shield around the door didn't let them in. Stefan groaned as he touched the door. "It's no use, we can get in unless someone invites us in."

"Or we can set the whole place on fire, kill the owner and get Elijah." Rebekah said flatly.

"I wouldn't do that. I heard its bad luck to burn down a holy place."

Rebekah and Stefan turned around and came face to face with Marcel. "What in bloody hell are you doing here?"

"I have eyes everywhere," Marcel said simply. "You think my men wouldn't notice if you two were snooping around the quarter."

"We know you have Elijah, Marcel so why don't you quit the tough act, hand him over and we can all go home peacefully."

Marcel grabbed Stefan by the neck. "I'm older than you."

Stefan grabbed his wrist and pressed him against the wall. "Well, I've been through a lot more crap. So stop fooling around and invite us in otherwise I'll tear out your spine."

"Ok, fine." Marcel grunted.

Rebekah smiled at Stefan. "Nice, my brother has trained you well. Now Marcel be a doll and let us in."

Marcel rubbed his neck. "You're going to have to ask the lady of the house. Davina?"

A young, short dark hair girl appeared. "Come in."

Rebekah and Stefan stepped inside and she relaxed when she saw the coffin. She opened in and attempted to pull out the dagger, but Davina put it back firmly in place.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Rebekah snarled.

Davina ignored her question. "She's an old one isn't she?"

"Yep, Rebekah is an Original." Marcel said.

She pursed her lips. "She isn't very nice."

"She was," Marcel said. "Until she started hanging around with the wrong crowd."

Davina narrowed her eyes. "Then I think it's time they both leave." Stefan and Rebekah felt themselves being raised up and thrown out the window.

"Shh, sit still," Katherine scolded her new girl puppy, which she had named Belle who was restlessly trying to eat pages out of Elijah's diary. She ignore the first years of his vampire life which were filled with the hope of reuniting his family and other things that bored her, until she reached the year she wanted to know about. 1492.

May 26th, 1492

I meet her today at Klaus' birthday party, Tatia's doppelganger, despite my disbeliefs she does indeed exist. Physically she's the Tatia that I fell in love with me. Olive skin, big brown eyes, beautiful hair. An exquisite beauty in every way.

But her personality is different. She seems much sweeter than Tatia ever was. Her eyes shine with kindness and warmth. Despite the fact that I know that my brother will sacrifice her I can't help, but feel attracted to her however I know she can never replace Tatia.

Excuse me? Wait, a sec Katherine wasn't that caught up in her doppelganger history and she knew that she was a descended from someone, but she had never thought that Elijah knew her, much less fallen in love with her.

Is that all I am to him? She couldn't help but think. Tatia's replacement?

She heard the front door close and Klaus greeting Rebekah and Stefan sarcastically. Katherine put down the journals, grabbed Belle and headed downstairs.

"You found, Elijah great why may I ask didn't you drag his casket along with him?" Klaus said impatiently.

"Because we were too busy being thrown out of a window!"

"Did you at least get the address?"

Stefan and Rebekah stared blankly at each other. "Davina must have erased our memories." Stefan mumbled.

Klaus rolled his eyes. "Wonderful, we're back to square one."

"Look, the important thing is that Marcel has been lying to you all along. It's obvious he doesn't trust you. This witch, Davina is his secret weapon," Stefan said. "We need to find out what else he's up to and what Davina is capable off."

Rebekah glared at his brother. "Have you thought of any plan whatsoever to get our brother back from Marcel's clutches or have you've been wasting your time burning up the bodies of dead vampires?"

"I'm sorry, dear sister was I supposed to leave them in the yard to rot?" he snapped. "Besides they were my responsibility, they attacked the poor, helpless delicate girl who is carrying my child."

"First of all I don't like to be described as helpless and delicate," Katherine said flatly as she entered the room. Belle followed closely at her heels, obviously already attached to her new mistress and started yapping. "And second of all can you guys stop fighting long enough to think of an actual plan."

Rebekah stared curiously at Belle who was biting Stefan's pant leg. "First of all what's with the puffy dog?"

"Klaus gave it to me." She said simply.

"Wait, you gave her a puppy? How come you never gave me a puppy?" I'm you sister!"

"Because Katerina is even more desperate and pathetic for companionship than you!"

"Ok, can we stop talking about the dog," she said annoyed. "What can I do to help rescue Elijah?"

Stefan let out a small chuckled. "Yeah, you're not going."

Katherine raised an eyebrow. "And why not?"

"Because have you've forgotten that you're pregnant?"

"And have you've forgotten that this is amateur stuff compare to some of the things I've dealt with," she shot back. "Trust me, Marcel is no challenge."

"Maybe in your vampire form, sweetheart," Rebekah smirked. "But now you're about as useful as poor April Young."

Katherine snarled at Rebekah.

"Leave this to the professionals, sweetheart," Klaus replied mockingly. "Why don't you go learn how to knit or something? We start tonight."

Katherine woke up from her nap and looked at her alarm clock, it was almost eight. Whatever plan Klaus was planning he was going to execute it tonight as some party Marcel was throwing.

She went into her closet and picked a simple black dress. She rearranged her curls so they fell neatly across her shoulders. She looked at herself in the mirror. In the dress she was wearing she didn't look that pregnant.

She looked at Belle. "We're going to get Elijah back tonight."

Belle barked her approval.

Great. She was talking to a dog now.

She tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. Crap. Klaus had locked it.

She started pounding on the door. "Klaus! Klaus let me out! KLAUS LET ME OUT!"

Belle started barking next to her in protest as well.

"Really?" Stefan raised an eyebrow downstairs. They were both dressed in tuxes and waiting for Rebekah. "Locking her up in her room, that was your great plan?"

"Well, I was going to tie her to her bed, but I thought that would fall under cruel and unusual punishment." Klaus said simply as he took a sip of his drink, ignoring Belle's barking and Katherine's screaming from the second floor. "Besides Katherine is stubborn, she'll give up and just pout for the next few days."

"I'm ready." Rebekah stepped inside wearing a black dress.

"Good." Klaus stood up. "Now let's go get Elijah back."
