Chapter 11: The Double Doppelganger

"Decisions, decisions. What do I do with you Matty?" Katherine paced back and forth in Nina's room. After she'd healed his broken arm, she'd dragged him back to the old Victorian house, forcing him to sit on the same bed as the dead Nina. It was absolute torture and further fueled Matt's hatred of Katherine. As if killing the love of his life wasn't enough, now she felt the need to shove it in his face for their entire conversation.

"Well, we could turn you into a vampire, that might give me some extra strength on my side... But knowing your noble self, you'd walk straight into the sun." She tapped her finger on her chin. Then she smirked again.

"Or I could still change you and we could use you as a sacrifice... I do need a vampire..." Matt was puzzled. Sacrifice? Hadn't there already been a sacrifice? Hadn't Elena been the sacrifice? How many wolf-vampire hybrids could there be in the world? Matt's astonishment didn't go unnoticed by Katherine.

"Ah, always the naive little one, huh James? Forever needing to be filled in." Katherine had plopped herself down next to Matt, causing Nina's body to bounce slightly as the extra weight was added to the bed. Matt winced at the sight. Katherine was horrible, and what was worse was that he was now in her clutches. He prayed to God, if there was even a God at this point, that the sacrifice that Katherine was talking about wouldn't make her the same undying, invincible monster that Klaus had become.

"Let's just say the Petrova Doppelganger's aren't the only ones in history..." Katherine placed her bony, perfectly manicured hand on Matt's shoulder. He cringed in response to her touch.

"Cringing? Really Matt? I do recall you saying Katherine is a great girl, Nina. The kind of girl a boy wants to grow up and marry. The kind he wishes he proposed to." Katherine made air quotes and laughed manically. Matt stood up and punched her as hard as he could in the face. She didn't have time to react because the punch was just so unexpected. Her nose was bleeding, adding flecks of scarlet to the already blood stained sheets that Nina was laying on. It took her only a few seconds to regain composure, pinning Matt to the ground, letting her already healing nose drop blood onto his face.

"That was your last mistake Matt." She slit her wrist for the second time that day and forced Matt to drink. Matt tried with all his might to escape the blood burning as it slid down his throat. But it was no use. Katherine had five hundred years of vampirism on her side, she would always beat him in a strength contest. After forcing a decent amount of blood down his throat, she cupped his face in her hands.

"It looks like you've made my decision for me. Now Matt, this will only hurt for a second." The last thing Matt remembered was Katherine's smile and the distinct crack of his spine.

He woke up to the sound of an owl hooting in the distance. He was laying in the grass somewhere, covered in something sticky. He sat up a little, noticing there were two other bodies next to him. One belonged to his friend, Jamie. The other belonged to a buff, dark-haired guy. Both of them were completely passed out. As he wiped his brow, he realized his face was covered in blood. Blood was the sticky substance coating his entire body... but who's?

"Just a girl from the farm a couple of miles away. You really went at her." Katherine said, placing her usual smug smile on. Matt's heart dropped, he'd killed someone already? And he didn't even remember it? This was bad, really bad.

"You always reminded me of Stefan... It appears as though you two are similar in more ways than one. Both rippers at heart." Matt shuddered involuntarily. He hated giving Katherine the exact disgusted reaction she wanted. In fact, he hated everything about Katherine.

"Now, I know you weren't there, and even if you were, you're probably too stupid to have understood what was going on." Katherine was pacing around Matt and the other two bodies, acting as if she was their Hitler.

"But, there was a ritualistic sacrifice that was necessary to bring about Klaus' werewolf side. I was thinking about it, and a curse sealed Klaus' werewolf side, right? Well, why wouldn't a curse seal it again? So I found myself a wolf" She motioned to the brawny man. "A vampire" She pointed to me. "A witch" A woman in a dark purple dress and strawberry blonde hair came forward. "And a doppelganger." She motioned to Jamie. Matt's jaw dropped before he could even think about concealing it.

"Yes, Jamie is a doppelganger like myself. So I figured I'd use him in this little ritual. I didn't even know he existed before last week. Following you to Luverne turned out to be the best decision I ever made." Matt was angry. Clearly Klaus needed to be stopped, but did all of this blood need to be shed to do it? And how could Katherine do it? He knew she always put herself first, but how could she do that to Jamie? How could she kill him in the sacrifice for being a doppelganger when the reason she was a vampire was to escape Klaus using her in the exact same way? Katherine was everything that Stefan and Damon described her to be. A selfish, manipulative bitch. And without Klaus, there would never be anyone to punish her for her actions.

"Now to get started, Gloria, will you do the honors?" Katherine grabbed the unknown werewolf from the ground. Gloria began chanting as Katherine shook the werewolf awake.

"Can't have you dying in your sleep, can we?" Katherine smiled as the werewolf came to.

"Goodbye Craig." She smirked as she ripped his heart out.

"Next." She said with a grin. She walked over to Matt, picking him up by the shirt.

"As much as I'd like you to watch your friend Jamie die, I believe that rituals order's cannot be broken. Such a shame too, I've always thought you were really hot." Gloria began to chant again. Katherine took a stake out of her bag. Before Matt could even react, she was shoving it through his chest, piercing his heart with the wood. The last thing Matt remembered was teal eyes looking at him through a haze.
