Klaus definitely gave me some problems in this chapter when I had to try to get inside his head and write for him and it ended up being kind of long, but I gave my own spin on what happened to the original Petrova doppelganger, and I hope you guys like it and thanks for reading! :)

"No one thought I was good enough for you, except for you. Don't let them be right after all that we've been through. Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in. Don't give up on me, I'm about to come alive. And I know that it's been hard, and it's been a long time coming. But don't give up on me, I'm about to come alive."~I'm About To Come Alive-Train

Elena

"Good morning sweetheart." I heard from beside me.

I wrapped the blanket tighter around me and rolled over. I slowly opened my eyes, expecting to see Klaus' hazel ones, but was instead greeted by bright blue eyes that were unmistakably "Damon!" I jumped back a little. I sat up too quickly and felt the slight hangover headache kick in. "What the hell?"

Damon sat down beside me. His eyes examined the couch. "Did you really sleep with him?"

"I slept beside him. But I didn't actually have, uh, sex with him or anything if that's what you're asking."

He smiled. "I love seeing you blush."

I rolled my eyes. "But seriously, where's Klaus?"

"Dunno. He called me this morning and told me where you were and to come get you, and then he hung up. That's all I know. But…" He grabbed a piece of paper from the table. "There is a note…"

I tried to grab it but he pulled away. "Damon." I sighed.

He smirked. "Don't worry Elena, I'll read it." He held the note out and cleared his throat. "Good morning love." He badly imitated Klaus' accent. "Sorry to leave you, but I had to go and I didn't want to wake you. I called Damon though, and he'll probably be there before you even wake up. Actually, I'll bet he's reading this and making fun of me right now." Damon's voice faltered. Damn. Klaus was smart. I had to stop myself from giggling. Damon rolled his eyes and handed the note to me. "I can't wait until we get to finally kill him."

I took the note and read the rest to myself. He should be very glad you and Stefan care about him so much. I'll be seeing you again soon though. You were beautiful last night in more ways than one Elena. ~Klaus

"Are you ready to go?" Damon asked impatiently.

I stood up and brought the note with me. "Yeah."

When we were in the car, Damon looked over at me. "Elena." His eyes met mine.

"What?"

"I know that you want this plan to work just as badly as the rest of us, but you don't have to take it too far."

"What do you mean?"

He looked away. "You know what I mean. It's bad enough fighting Stefan for you, but let's not add the hybrid into it."

I took one of his hands in both of mine. "We're both in this together, remember?"

He smiled a little. "Right."

"No matter what happens at the end of all of this, we'll have each other."

His hand tensed in mine. "As what Elena?"

"I have no idea." I answered honestly. His hand slowly slid out of mine. I looked out the window and tried to briefly escape, to lose myself for a while. Why did I have to hurt them both so much?

Klaus

I had spent the entire night with Elena Gilbert. She had gotten to me. But more importantly, I had gotten to her. Was I really "destined" to be with her, one of Charlotte's doppelgangers? I had never believed in all that crap that the witches had told me. I always thought it was just my mother trying to make Elijah and I feel again, be vulnerable. So that we could be killed.

I had to talk to Charlotte, to know if it really was her who wanted me to be with Elena. I had to know something.

I decided my best bet would be to go to that stupid witch house. I knew that the witches were probably gone, but maybe I could see Charlotte. I walked through the door and slowly went further into the house. "Charlotte?" I quietly called out. "Charlotte!" Nothing. I sighed. This was a stupid plan. I was never going to see her again except for in those little moments when Elena behaved just like her.

I turned and started to leave. "Niklaus." I heard from behind me.

I slowly turned back. "Charlotte?" It was her. I had to stop myself from wrapping my arms around her and burying my face in her shoulder, losing myself and everything around me. But she wasn't really here, she was long dead and all I had left was her ghost.

"I'm glad you came looking for me." She smiled.

"I had to."

"For Elena, or your own selfish reasons?"

I smirked. "Both. And you."

She looked into my eyes. "I thought you couldn't love someone for a thousand years?"

"Oh, you can. I learned that the hard way."

She nodded. "I know. I haven't had much to do but watch you and Elijah all these years. And Katherine and Elena. Esther really was spot on in making them fit the two of you perfectly."

"So it really was you in the dream?"

"Yes, I intercepted it. Elijah had bonded with Katherine quickly, but I had to get you back to Elena."

"Why?"

She shrugged. "I guess I just don't want you to spend eternity alone."

I felt the emotions her death had given me resurface completely. "I'm so sorry." I whispered. I dropped my head so that I didn't have to look at her anymore.

"Klaus. Look at me." She demanded quietly. Her chocolate brown eyes searched my face. "I need to find peace. And I can't do that until I know that you and Elijah are going to be ok. You have to let yourself love again. You have to forgive yourself for what happened."

I shook my head. "I could never do that."

"You have to. That's how you'll be able to love Elena or someone else with everything you have."

"Someone else?"

She smiled to herself. "You and I both know that there's someone other then Elena that you could easily fall in love with, and when you admit that to yourself we'll talk."

Who the hell was she talking about? "Why do you always have to be so frustrating?"

She just smiled. "Because that's how you like it. Elena and Katherine share that same quality. You should probably go now though. I have to leave soon."

"Alright. Goodbye Charlotte."

"Bye Klaus. Will you promise me that you'll look out for Elijah though? Help him feel again too."

"You mean you want me to take the dagger out of him?"

"Oh." She said quietly. "I forgot that you didn't know."

"Know what?"

"Elijah's already out. But he'll be back soon."

I could feel the anger wave over me. "Who let him out?"

She looked at me nervously. "That's not important right now. Don't worry about it Klaus."

"But—"

"You have to go."

"Fine." I sighed. I took one last look at her before walking out the door.

Elena

"You can come out now Elena." Charlotte said after Klaus was gone. When Damon had dropped me off at my house, I saw Klaus' car go by and I decided to follow him, because he would either be leading me to Stefan or other business he had in Mystic Falls, and I was interested in both.

I had snuck in one of the back doors of the witch house and followed the sound of his voice. I stayed in the next room so that he wouldn't see me and tried to tell who he was talking to. When it was a voice almost identical to my own, I knew it had to be Charlotte.

I stepped in the room and met eyes that were identical to my own. Charlotte was wearing a long dress and her hair came down to her waist in long waves. There was something about her that really did make her seem prettier then me and Katherine, even though we looked identical. "Wow."

She smiled. "Hello Elena."

"Charlotte."

"So how much of that did you hear?"

"Basically all of it."

She nodded. "I know about your plan. But underneath all of the bad things that he's done, Klaus is just a man who loves with everything he has when he lets himself, and he just wants someone to care for him and love him back. I want that for him too. So if you think you can actually love him, do it. Don't be afraid."

"Charlotte, I—"

"I know that there's Damon and Stefan, but don't be afraid to give up something good for something great. I made that mistake and look how I ended up."

"What happened to you?" Elijah had left that part of the story out.

"Ask Klaus tonight, he'll want to see you. Learn the story and see how you feel about him then."

"Ok."

"I really do have to go though Elena."

"Ok. But I have one more question." She nodded. "Who's the other person Klaus could fall in love with?"

She smiled. "You'll have to figure that one out on your own. It's kind of really surprising and not at all surprising at the same time. Bye Elena and good luck with everything."

"Thank you. Bye Charlotte." And then she was gone.

Stefan

I heard the door to the house that Rebekah and I had found open, and I knew that Klaus was back. He had spent the entire night with Elena. What happened between them? Did he actually love her now? I didn't even want to think about that.

I met Klaus in the kitchen. "Finally back?"

He smirked. "Did you miss me Stefan?"

"Not quite." I crossed my arms over my chest. "What happened with Elena?"

He studied me. "What is this, Damon acts as Elena's overprotective father and you're mine? You Salvatores sure are territorial."

I uncrossed my arms. "I was just wondering."

"Alright. But speaking of Elena, could you call her for me? I'm going to see her again tonight."

"Again?"

"Yes. She's actually quite fun isn't she?" I felt jealously and anger run through me.

"What's the point in all this Klaus? Spending time with Elena? Being here?"

"It all leads back—"

"To the original doppelganger?"

"Something like that. But don't worry Stefan." He placed a hand on my shoulder. "I just need to see some things. I'm not going to purposely do anything to hurt you though. We're friends, remember?" He smiled and patted my back then walked away.

And he was right. As much as I wanted to hate him I couldn't help but feel something between us, especially after he had given me my memories of the 1920's back. I was just so unsure of things when it came to Klaus.

Elena

Stefan had called a few hours ago and said that Klaus wanted to see me tonight, just as Charlotte had predicted. It was hard talking to him about that though. I could tell that it really hurt him and Damon, but I had to do this. After talking to Charlotte I knew what I needed to ask Klaus and I wasn't going to pretend anything tonight for the plan, I was just going to see what happened.

Klaus brought me back to that same house and everything was set up perfectly again. "I thought I'd stick with the familiarity since it seemed to work pretty well last time." He said as he offered me a drink.

"Just a little bit. I'm going to try to not get drunk this time."

"Shame." He smirked. "But speaking of familiar." His eyes stopped at my necklace. Shit. I'd forgotten to take it off.

"My necklace?"

"Yes. Where did you get that from?"

Might as well be honest. "Stefan."

Klaus nodded. "Of course. It was my mothers, and then my sisters."

"Oh." I pulled my hair to the side and unfastened the necklace. I held it out to Klaus. For so long this necklace had signified my relationship with Stefan to me, but after everything that had happened and knowing that it belonged to Rebekah, it just didn't feel the same anymore.

"You sure?" Klaus asked as his hand touched mine as he reached for the necklace. I nodded, and he took it from me and slid it in his pocket.

"What happened to her Klaus?"

His eyes met mine. "Who, love?"

"Charlotte."

He looked away. "Oh. There's no point in getting lost in the past sweetheart."

"I want to know though."

"I don't think that's a good idea Elena."

I slid my hand into one of Klaus'. "Tell me?"

He looked at our hands. "Why?"

"Don't be afraid to let me in Klaus. If you want to know things about me then you have to let me know things about you too. Especially why I'm a doppelganger in the first place."

He sighed. "Fine."

"When I first became a vampire I never killed people when I fed, so I never knew that I even had the werewolf gene in me because I had never activated the curse. I only knew that on full moons my temper tended to be hard to control…"

"Nick." I heard Rebekah enter my room. She was grinning widely.

I sighed. "You know that today is a bad day to mess with me Rebekah. You should go."

She looked at me curiously. "Have you already heard the news?"

"What news?"

"Charlotte Petrova is pregnant. Her fiancé, Ren, just told me this morning. I figured you'd like to know since you and Elijah are so close to her."

I slammed her against the wall. "You bitch."

She pushed me off. "Don't be so testy brother. You knew this was going to happen eventually."

"I completely lost it when I found out about Charlotte. I loved her and I was sure that she was going to be with me one day, but now I knew that she never would be. I decided that I had to kill Ren that night, I just couldn't take it. I told Elijah my plan and he said that couldn't help me, but he didn't try to stop me either."

"I knew that Ren came home late in the night because of his work, and I was there waiting for him. I bit into his neck and killed him, I even enjoyed the sound of his screams. But it turned out that the witches had already put a spell on me to make sure that I didn't turn when I finally made my first kill, but it only made things worse. The lack of self-control and the rage inside me doubled."

I dropped Ren's cold, dead body to the ground. I heard footsteps behind me and turned around with fangs still bared and blood covering my face.

Charlotte looked at me with horror and shock. "Klaus." She cried.

"Charlotte—"

"Why?"

"I had to. Rebekah told me that you were pregnant with his baby, and when I found out I just…"

She covered her mouth with her hand and shook her head. "How could you do this?" She finally said.

"I love you, and I—"

"You do not love me! If you do, you wouldn't have done this!"

I grabbed her arm. "Of course I love you."

She jerked away. "Let go of me! I want you to leave me alone Klaus."

"No Charlotte, listen to me." I tried to make her look at me.

She slapped my face, hard. "No! I don't want to ever see you again. I hate you."

I could feel my werewolf side trying to take over, and I let it. I grabbed her with both hands. "Klaus you're hurting me." She cried.

"I'm sorry Charlotte." I said. I could see how much she hated me and I couldn't stand it.

Before I even had time to think I lunged for her throat and kept drinking her blood until she was completely lifeless in my arms. I slowly dropped her body to the ground.

Within seconds Rebekah was standing beside me. She had heard the screams. She looked down at Charlotte's limp body. "Oh my god Nic." She whispered as she examined the damage I had done. I felt completely numb. I feel to my knees beside Charlotte's body as the painful realization that I truly was a monster sunk in.

Rebekah scoffed. "Did you honestly think she could love you Niklaus? Do you really think anyone could love you?" She turned away. "Elijah!"

Klaus avoided my eyes. "Elijah and Rebekah took me to the witches and that's when the curse was placed on me, and it was the first time that my siblings and I truly hated each other."

"So, you killed her?"

"Yes."

"Then how are there—"

"Doppelgangers? The witches made sure that the baby would live on, so that one day I would have to see her face and kill her again to break the curse."

"But why is there a doppelganger for Elijah?"

"To punish him for not stopping me from killing Ren, and so that I had to see her with someone else." I nodded. Klaus grimaced. "So what do you think of me now Elena?"

"I think, that you got hurt badly by the person that you loved most, and you lost control and made a huge mistake that you still regret a thousand years later." I came over to him and wrapped my arms around him. "And I'm sorry that happened to you." I said into his chest.

He remained completely still at first, but he finally gave in and wrapped his arms tightly around me. "Elena, I think that's enough for tonight. I'll take you back."

"Ok." Getting Klaus to actually let me in was going to take a lot of work, but this was definitely progress. I was becoming less and less sure that I wasn't going to feel something for him at the end of it though.

Thanks for reading, and reviews are greatly appreciated! :) Some pretty big things happening in the next chapter. And Kalijah, Delena, Stelena, and Klena moments(with a little bit of a completely new ship).
