A/N - I'm back in school, but I'm still going. I love you all, and special thanks again to Parodychick for reviewing. Here is the next chapter!
August 25 1864:
"Hello Elena." Katherine said, standing in the doorway. Elena was sitting writing in her diary again. Katherine would never understand that.
"Katherine, where have you been?" Elena asked, worried for her twin.
"Oh, you know, at Elijah's, talking to Klaus. The usual."
"What do you mean talking to Klaus? We just killed him."
Katherine smiled and shook her head.
Elena looked worried. "And you just talked with him?"
"Well, not exactly talk. More like he threatened us."
"Oh my goodness, Katherine. Come in and let me make sure you're okay." The moment she had finished saying it, Elena's realized the mistake she had just made, and what must have happened.
"Thank you for inviting me in, sister." Katherine said while stepping through the door.
"He turned you." It wasn't a question.
"And I'm here to turn you." Elena stood up and took a step back. This was something she had never wanted, and here her own sister was, threatening to turn her. "Elena, Klaus is alive, and we tried to kill him. He is out for blood and he won't stop until you and everyone you love is dead. This is a gift. It is the only way you are going to make it out of this night alive."
Elena shook her head, still backing away. "No, Katherine. This is bad. Tonight is the round-up. The counsel and anyone else in town willing to help are going to round up all the vampires and burn them alive. You can't be here. Just run. Run Katherine run, and don't look back."
Katherine turned to leave, then changed her mind at the last second. She knew she would regret it one day, but she wasn't going to leave her sister defenseless when Klaus came to kill her. And he would come. Katherine flashed across the room and ripped off her sister's vervain necklace, ignoring the searing pain she got from touching it. She stared her sister in the eyes and compelled her to drink her blood.
