"Wake up…..Claire….wake up."

Claire who was still in dreamland opened her eyes slowly only to find out that she was lying on a rusty old couch.

"Where are we?" She said as she sat up putting her feet to ground narrowly avoiding kicking Elena who was crouched beside her.

"We where kidnapped by vampires." the moment Elena said that, two people entered the room making her jump slightly and sit beside Claire her eyes betraying a hint of fear. One was male and the other female.

"My God you look just like her." The female said as she observed Elena closely.

"But i'm not… please whatever you.."

"Be quiet." the female said silencing her, but Elena being the persistent girl who always seemed to want to be the centre of attention rose to her feet.

"But i'm not Katherine." she said. "My name is Elena Gilbert, you don't have to do this."

"I know who you are." the female said in annoyance. "I said be quiet."

"Elena would you please stop annoying our captors and sit down?" Claire said getting tired of her whiny voice. The girl seemed to lack self preservation.

The male who was standing next to the female chuckled a little. "At least someone recognizes danger when there see it."

Elena sat down glaring at her sister. "You are a witch, you can take them down just like Bonnie."

The vampires stiffened at that and Claire could see from the corner of her eye that he was about to attack.

"I'm not powerful as your witch friend Elena, i'm still a witch in learning."

The two vampires suddenly relaxed and the male smirked arrogantly. There then turned to leave the room so they could speak in private.

Elena only slumbed back on the couch looking miserable.

What was wrong with that girl? Claire found herself asking in anger. Didn't she know anything about not tipping the hand of enemy of the weapons they possess. She acted like a robot that just blurted out information to only have its way.

Claire knew that she could kill them with a wave of her hand but she needed to know why they had kidnapped them in the first place. Perhaps they were working for someone.

Elena suddenly got up again and went towards the door despite Claire telling her not to. She decided to follow her in the end.

"Look, did you or did you not send the message to Elijah?" The male said to the female.

"They say that he got it." The female replied.

The old wooden floor creaked as Elena tried to escape whilst the two vampires spoke only to freeze in shock when the female suddenly appeared in front of her.

"There's nothing around here for miles and if you both think that you are getting out of this house you are tragically mistaken, do you understand?"

"Whose Elijah?" Elena asked gazing at the vampire in fear.

"He's your worst nightmare."

Claire suddenly realised that there where a delivery package. This strangely reminded her of the fake Mad-Eye Moody.

"Can you at least tell us why you delivering us to him, i for one actually prefer to know why i get to die?"

Elena turned to look at her in shock.

"You weren't meant to be taken, only Elena was." Rose said before entering the next room.

"Who is Elijah?" Elena asked as they both entered the dirty room filled with small piles of books scattered everywhere on the floor.

"He's a vampire, one of the originals." rose replied as she stepped over to a huge table and began to flip random pages of the books piled on it before dropping them to the floor.

"What do you mean the originals?"

"It's obvious Elena, don't you get it?" Claire asked making Rose turn to look at her. "He's one of the first vampires ever to walk the planet, the creator of the vampire species which makes them very old and very strong."

Rose nodded before turning back to her book rummagings. "Trevor and i have been running for five hundred years, we are tired and we want it over. We are using you to negotiate ourselves out of an old mess."

"But why me?" Elena asked taking two steps forward towards Rose.

"Because you are Petrova Doppelganger, you are the key to breaking the curse."

Elena looked confused for a moment. "The sun and the moon curse."

"You do know your history."

Claire just stood mulling over what Rose had said, it explained why Katherine wanted the stone.

"What do you mean i'm the key, the moonstone is what breaks the curse…."

"I don't think so Elena." Claire said cutting of Rose from replying making her turn to look at her again.

"That's what we learned Claire." Elena said but her twin ignored her as she walked and stopped in front of Rose.

"She needs to be sacrificed doesn't she? The moonstone seals the curse i'm guessing but to break it a blood sacrifice is needed."

Elena who knew nothing of sacrifices only scoffed.

"You know, for a witch in training you seem to grasp important concepts quickly." Rose said as she stared at an unflinching Claire in curiosity. "But yes you are right, the doppelganger needs to be sacrificed."

Elena gasped loudly at that reply. "Tell me more."

"The first Petrova doppelganger was Katherine i'm guessing." Claire said to Rose who only nodded still staring. "She escaped her fate and took the moonstone with her and got turned into a vampire along the way. I'm guessing that you and the other guy helped her escape her fate not knowing that the originals would want revenge."

Rose's eyes became saucers at what the girl had said but she didn't stop there.

"That's why she came to Mystic Falls, for the moonstone and you Elena." Claire turned to look at Elena who seemed to be lost at where the story was headed. Honestly, what do the Salvatore brother's see in her?

Claire sighed. "Katherine needs you also to negotiate herself out of an old mess as Rose kindly put it. She can no longer be used as the sacrifice since she is now a vampire, but you on the other hand…"

Her eyes suddenly widened in understanding.

"Are you a fan of Sherlock Holmes?" Rose asked a little impressed at how she quickly put it together.

"I do enjoy his deductive reasonings, i think he would have given a very old friend of mine a run for his money." She said as she thought of Dumbledore.

"No one was smarter than Sherlock." Elena said not appreciating her sister's friendly banter with their captor.

All of a sudden the other male appeared in front of them looking frightened. "He's here."

##

Elena and Claire were sent back to the lounge room of the house and where ordered to remain silent by the male vampire they had come to know by the name of Trevor whilst the female, Rose, spoke with Elijah in one of the upper floor rooms.

Claire turned on the couch to observe Elena who seemed to be smiling slightly at a small piece of paper she was reading before folding and placing it in her Jean pocket. She wanted to ask what it was only to stop when she saw Rose appear on top of the stairs with a handsome man, who was 5'11" in height, and had a lanky, yet muscular body with short brown hair. He was well dressed in a dress jacket, dress shoes, dress pants, shirt and a tie.

The two of them rose to their feet and took a step forward away from the couch

Elijah's eyes where fixed solely on Elena in disbelief before flashing over to her making her jump a little and gasp. He then leaned his forward closer to her neck making her shake in fear.

"Human,... impossible." He said before pulling back but still standing closely as he looked her in the eyes. "Hello there."

He then turned his gaze to the other relaxed girl who seemed to have observed his strange greeting with a raised brow.

"And who might you be?"

"I'm her twin sister."

"Interesting."

##

After decapitating Trevor for his treachery, Elijah tried to grab the girls only to pause when Elena tried to bargain for her life with the moonstone. Claire shook her head at the girl's stupidity.

"What do you know about the moonstone?" Elijah asked

"I know that you need it and i know where it is."

He took a step forward towards her. "Tell me where it is?"

"It doesn't work that day." Elena said making Claire scoff. A human trying to bargain with a vampire.

Elijah looked slightly irritated before reaching out and ripping out Elena's vervain necklace from her neck and tossing it across the room before grabbing her by the back of the neck and pulling her closer linking his eyes with her . She really needed to find a more subtle way of hiding her vervain.

"Tell me where the moonstone is." Elijah demanded.

"In the church underneath the ruins." Elena's response was automatic, a product of Elijah's compulsion.

"What's it doing there?"

"It's with Katherine."

Elijah suddenly released and started looking around when he heard a whooshing sound. There weren't alone in the mansion.

"Who else is in this house?" He asked a sobbing Rose who was still mourning the loss of his old friend.

"I don't know."

He then grabbed them by their arms and pulled them headed for the stairs.

"You know i really hate being manhandled." Claire said trying to loosen his steely grip with her other hand.

"Silence." Was Elijah only reply before a vampire moved past them with speed making them stop. Claire and Elena were unceremoniously tossed by the original into Rose's hands as he paused to try and locate the vampire.

It moved past them again.

"Up here!"

Elijah flashed upstairs and stopped.

"Down here!"

He then turned to look downstairs with an angry expression of being played with like that before raising his left hand palm to his face which appeared to have been impaled with a thin wooden stake. When he pulled it out and looked back downstairs the three girls had gone.

##

Claire and Elena found themselves being whooshed away from the original vampire only to find themselves on the other side of the room upstairs with Stefan who placed his finger on his lips telling them to be silent.

"Excuse me….to whom it may concern. You are making a grave mistake if you think that you can beat me because you can't." Elijah could be heard speaking downstairs whilst breaking apart pieces of wood clearly making a stake.

"I repeat, you cannot beat me. So on the count of three, i want the girls…. or heads will roll….do we understand each other."

Claire wanted to scoff when Stefan handed them vervai grenades. She doubted that there would work. The extreme confidence that the original seemed to be exuding unsettled her deeply.

Elena took charge and stepped over to the top of the stairs to plead with the original not to kill her friends before tossing the bomb which exploded in his face. Elijah gave a scream of pain and surprise and when he took a few steps up Claire did the same thing.

He then made the mistake of covering his eyes prompting Stefan flash over and collide with him. Elijah fell back down the stairs but he being older and stronger he healed quickly and rose back to his feet filled with rage only for another vampire to whoosh in the room with a huge stake and stabbed him in the chest impaling him to the wall. His skin began to desiccate and when he gave took a final bow indicating that he had died, the vampire turned around to face them.

It was Damon.
