Chapter 35: Kidnapped

Sakura could hear pans being moved around in the kitchen. She opened her eyes to see that she was still in her dress from last night. She blinked a few times, still half asleep, then remembered that Damon still there. Seeing the empty space beside her, she figured it was him in the kitchen. She rolled out of bed and got changed, washed up and feeling lazy, combed her hair briefly with her fingers. She left her bedroom and noticed that Leilani's bedroom door was ajar. She poked her head in and saw that Leilani wasn't there, and it didn't look like it her bed had been slept it. Leilani could have made her bed up, but from previous knowledge, it wasn't likely. Sakura checked the bathroom, but it was empty. She glanced around the house some more, but had no luck. She went downstairs and into the kitchen to see Damon making scrambled eggs for breakfast.

"Well hello sleepy head," Damon setup the eggs on a plate and put the pan down.

"Have you seen Leilani?" Sakura asked.

"Why yes I did make this for you," Damon kissed her on the forehead.

"Looks great, thanks... But seriously, she's not upstairs," Sakura was definitely worried.

"I haven't seen her," Damon frowned and pulled out his phone, he dialed her number, "Straight to voicemail."

"What could of happened?" Sakura started to freak out, "It's not like she's one to just disappear on me!"

"Calm down, we don't know anything yet," he dialed someone else's number, "Caroline, have you seen or heard from Leilani? Not since last night, " Damon shook his head. "What?" Damon mouthed that it wasn't about Leilani. "Does Matt remember anything? Yeah, I don't understand that. The guy is a tool," Sakura looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "Well, no. Where is your mom?Ah, teens today and their underage drinking. Tragic. Wait, did you see Tyler's eyes turn yellow?" Sakura paced back and forth in front of him, "Oh... Only on a full moon but now he has craze strength and who knows what else. I wonder how much Mason told him. Does he know about us? Hey! What did you tell him?" Damon was getting impatient, "He's got to know something. No, you won't Caroline! He cannot know about us. The bite from a werewolf can kill a vampire so don't be his friend! Do you understand me? Right. If you want to drop the hints to your mom, Aimee's body is at the bottom of a ravine with a cracked spine. Might save your mom some time," he hung up and grabbed Sakura's wrist, pulling her towards him to stop her from pacing. "You go to school and be normal, I'll call if I find anything out," Damon kissed her.

Sakura didn't really want to be at school, especially without Leilani around, but somehow Damon coerced her into it. Walking down the hall, past notices for Aimee and candles at Sarah's locker, she saw Stefan and Jeremy. "Hey guys," she walked up to them.

"Have you seen Elena?" Stefan asked, his brow furrowed.

"No..." Sakura trailed off.

"Her bed hasn't been slept in and Mrs. Lockwood said that her car was still in the driveway," Jeremy explained.

"Like Leilani. She wasn't at home either... What's going on?" Sakura frowned, "So much for a normal school day." Sakura pulled out her phone while she headed outside of the school, with Stefan right behind her, "Please tell me you've got something, cause Leilani's not the only one missing."

They waited outside for Damon, and it didn't seem like it took too long for him to show up, "Miss me?" he popped up behind Sakura.

Sakura smiled when she turned to him, "Find anything out?"

"Nothing," Damon sighed.

"This has Katherine written all over it," Stefan crossed his arms.

"Katherine's in the tomb. Trust me; we shut her in," Damon explained.

"Did you?" Stefan was skeptical.

"Did I what, Stefan?" Damon growled standing in front of him.

"Yes we, did," Sakura stood between them.

"She's in the tomb, period. End of story, but she did say something to me right before we shut her in. I thought she was lying," Damon sighed as he thought back.

"What did she say?" Stefan asked.

"Elena's in danger," Damon answered.

"What? And you didn't think you should ask her to elaborate?" Stefan was really getting angry.

"Everything she says is a lie. How am I supposed to know she was starting to tell the truth?" Damon's voice was going higher pitched.

"We have to go talk to her," Stefan wanted to know, eagerly, what Katherine was talking about.

"No, no. Let me tell you how that's gonna go: We're gonna go ask her for help, she's gonna negotiate her release, which we should be dumb enough to get her and she's gonna get out and kill us! This is exactly what she wants!" Damon argued.

"I don't really care," Stefan spat.

"It's a bad idea, Stefan," Damon retorted.

"It's Elena," Stefan frowned.

"And Leilani... Elena is a doppelganger, and Leilani, she's a light user. I don't see why they'd take them both," Sakura thought out loud, "But if they want Leilani, they might come after me."

Damon turned to her, "I know that look. No, no and no. You are not bait!"

"Leilani, Leilani wake up!" she could hear urgent whispers.

"Elena," she groggily opened her eyes.

"Shh," she held a finger up to her mouth and then pointed outside and to her ear. Elena helped Leilani up and they tried to listen to the people upstairs.

"How does it go?" the female asked.

"Still passed out," the male replied.

"You didn't touch them, did you?" she asked, and they could hear her accent.

"Give me some credit. So, did you called him?" he asked.

"No, I called one of his contacts. You know how this works," she replied.

"Who are they talking about?" Leilani asked in a whisper.

"No idea," Elena frowned.

"Did you or did you not get the message to Elijah?" he sounded antsy.

"They say he got it," she replied.

"Elijah... That name sounds familiar," Leilani sat back pondering.

"Wonderful and... What?" he sounded unsure.

"So that's it Trevor. He either got it or he didn't. We just have to wait," she said, and they finally had a name for one of them.

"We might be here a while," Leilani looked around the old, dusty room.

"Look, it's not too late. We can leave them here. We don't have to go through with this," Trevor was definitely afraid of something.

"Why are they so scared? We need to do something, if they're scared we should be too," Leilani whispered.

"Calm down," Elena noticed Leilani was rambling.

"I'm sick of running!" the woman exclaimed.

"Yeah? Well, running keeps us from dying," Trevor almost yelled.

"Elijah's old school. If he accepts our deal, we're free," she seemed sure.

"Let's go," Leilani said and as soon as she turned she tripped over her own foot, landing with a thud.

"You! There's nothing around here from miles. If you think you're getting out of this house, you're tragically wrong. Understand?" the woman was suddenly in front of them.

Elena helped Leilani up, "Who's Elijah?" she asked after.

"He's your worst nightmare," she replied, freaking them out more.

Bonnie, Jeremy and Stefan were in Alaric's classroom trying to do a locator spell. Sakura was outside the room, in the hallway with Damon. "I hope this works," Sakura paced back and forth.

"It will," Damon stated, "It has too."

Sakura pulled out a piece of chalk and paper, "No offense to Bonnie, but I think I'll do things my way as well." Sakura set them on the ground and Damon watched as she drew a bunch of circles with a triangle in the middle, "Zod ah ma ra la ee est la gi ro sa." Red smoke formed on the paper, Sakura's eyes glowed and the paper burned into dust. "I think I've got it," Sakura stood back up.

They walked into the classroom and heard Stefan and Jeremy talking. "She's not. You two go back to your house just in case. I'll call you the minute I find her," Stefan told them.

"But you can't do this alone," Jeremy frowned, he just wanted to be useful.

"He's not. Let's go," Damon nodded toward the door.

"You're coming with me?" Stefan asked.

"We both are," Sakura came up beside Damon. "It's Elena and Leilani, of course you're not going alone," Sakura said and he smiled at her.

The three of them got into Damon's car. The boys were in the front and Sakura in the back. She rubbed at the Fenrir tattoo, that was itching, as it had been when she used magic. "Alaric sure likes his weapons," Damon said glancing at the bottle of vervain in Stefan's hand, "What the hell is that?"

"I don't know if it's a vervain bomb, or a grenade or something like that," Stefan replied as he inspected it.

"Weird," Damon glared at it slightly.

"Hey, how much further is it?" Stefan asked hearing Sakura yawn in the back.

"About 80 miles," Damon replied, still a ways to go.

"Who do you think took them?" Stefan asked, curious if Damon knew anything.

"Someone from Katherine's past. She said she was running from someone. They picked out the wrong girl," Damon replied.

"Maybe," Sakura said in almost a whisper.

"Maybe?" Damon glanced back at her through his mirror.

"I think there's more to it. They took Leilani as well, and technically they're both supernatural beings," she explained as she gazed out of the car.

They went silent for a while, till Stefan broke it, "Thank you for helping me."

"Can we not do the whole road trip bonding thing? The cliché of it all makes me itch," Damon started to scratch.

"Oh, come on Damon. We both know that you being in this car have absolutely nothing to do with me anyway," Stefan was serious.

"The elephant in the room lets out a mighty roar," Damon was being dramatic.

"Well, it doesn't have to be an elephant. Let's talk about it," Stefan suggested.

"There's nothing to talk about. Besides, it's not what you think," Damon nodded his head towards Sakura.

"That's not true. I'm sure there is. Just get it out. I mean, are you in this car because you want to help your little brother save the girl that he loves? Or is it because you love her too? Hmm? Is it for Sakura instead? Is it for Leilani, we do think it's both of them? I mean come on, express yourself. I happen to like road trip bonding," Stefan prodded.

"Keep it up, Stefan. I can step out of helping as easily as I stepped in," Damon glared at him quickly.

"No, you see that's the beauty of it. You can't," Stefan smirked.

"Stefan, quit it," Sakura flicked his ear from behind.

"Aw, you're on his side?" Stefan pouted.

"Well yes, I do like to think he's here cause of me though," Sakura smiled weakly.

"Of course I am. Who knows what you'd do if I didn't come! Run in with no backup, cause chaos," Damon shivered.

"I'm not that bad..." Sakura trailed off.

"Are you kidding? The lone wolf loves to run in wildly," Stefan laughed, Damon joined him.

"Teaming up against me!" Sakura threw he hands up and sat back.

"Why are we here?" Elena asked the female vampire, Rose.

"You keep asking me these questions like I'm going to answer them," Rose glared at her.

"Why won't you?" Leilani asked looking up at her from the couch.

"That's another one," Rose rolled her eyes.

"You got me, okay? It's not like we can go anywhere. The least you can do is tell us what you want," Elena complained.

"I personally want nothing; I'm just a delivery service," Rose finally gave a response.

"Delivery to whom? Elijah?" Leilani asked, getting off the couch.

"Two points for these eavesdropper," Rose frowned.

"Who is he? Is he a vampire?" Elena asked, going back and forth with Leilani.

"He's one of the vampires, the originals," Rose continued to answer.

"What do you mean the originals?" Leilan inquired.

"Again with the questions. Haven't the Salvatore's been teaching you vampire history?" Rose crossed her arms.

"So you know Stefan and Damon?" Elena asked.

"I know of them. A hundred years back, a friend of mine tried to set me up with Stefan. She said he was one of the good ones. I'm more a sucker for the bad boys though, but I digress" Rose sighed.

"Who are the originals?" Leilani changed the subject back.

"Trevor and I have been running for 500 years. We're tired, we want it over. We're using you to negotiate ourselves out of an old mess," Rose didn't really answer.

"But why us?" Elena asked.

"Because you are a Petrova doppelganger. You're the key into breaking the curse, along side your Light being friend, and the dark one. She seems to have eluded us though," Rose explained.

"The curse? The sun and the moon curse?" Elena was pretty sure.

"Oh, you do know your history," Rose seemed surprised.

"What do you mean I'm the key? The moonstone is what breaks the curse," Elena was confused.

"No, the moonstone is what binds the curse. The sacrifice will breaks it," Rose clarified.

"The sacrifice?" Leilani gulped and looked at Elena, frightened.

"The blood of the doppelganger. You are the doppelganger. Which means, in order to break the curse you are the one who has to die," Rose explained, "There is more to it though. I don't really know how the light and dark users are involved, only that their magic is needed. The doppelganger is the only one I'm responsible for though."

"Tell us more," Elena requested.

"Captivity has made her pushy, uh? What do you want to know doppelicious?" Trevor came into the room.

"Who were you running from?" she asked.

"The originals," Trevor gave the same answer.

"Yeah, she said that. What does it mean?" Leilani asked.

"The first family, the old world. Rose and I pissed them off," Trevor tried to explain. Rose coughed behind him, "Correction, I pissed them off. Rose had my back and for over half a millennium, they wanted us dead.

"What did you do?" Elena stared at him bewildered.

"He made the same mistake others did: he trusted Katerina Petrova," Rose practically spit out her name.

"Katherine," Elena exchanged glances with Leilani.

"The one and only, the first Petrova doppelganger," Rose continued.

"I helped her to escape her fate and now I'm sorry, we've been running ever since," Trevor sighed.

"Which is why we're not gonna make the same mistake again," Rose eyed Elena.

Rose and Trevor stepped away from them slightly, and they sat down on the couch. Elena was moving around so Leilani looked at her to see her pull out a piece of paper. She showed it to Leilani and hid it. The note said that Stefan, Damon and Sakura were coming for them.

Sakura leaned in towards them, "We're getting close, there is an access road just past marker six."

Damon pulled out a blood bag, "If you want some, just ask."

"I want some," Stefan said bluntly.

"Ah, it's so sweet. You're gonna be all big and strong and save your girl but don't worry, we've got your back. It'll be fine," Damon smiled.

"I'm not joking. I've been drinking a little every day. I'm slowly increasing my intake and building up my strength," Stefan explained.

Damon handed him the blood bag, "Does Elena know you're drinking blood?"

"I've been drinking hers," he replied, "Like you and Sakura."

Damon glanced at him, smiling, "Since we're road trip bonding, remember the days when all you lived for was blood? You were the guy who ripped someone apart just for the fun of it."

"You mean when I was more like you?" Stefan asked.

"Yes, Stefan, exactly. Back when you put blood into me so I could be a big bad vampire. I wonder if Elena would be so quick to open her veins to that guy. By the way, what happened to that guy? He was a hoot," Damon was stirring up trouble.

"You're not that either, might I point out," Sakura poked her head in from the back again.

"She's right you know," Stefan smirked, "You're a much better person now. Like me, you found someone else to live for."

"He's here! This was a mistake," Trevor started to freak out.

"No, I told you I would get us out of this. You have to trust me," Rose stayed firm.

"No! He wants me dead, Rose!" Trevor was overwhelmed.

"He wants them more," Rose pointed to Elena and Leilani on the couch.

"I can't do this. You give them to him, he'll let you leave but I need to get out of here," Trevor seemed like he wanted to burst.

Rose took hold of him, "Hey! What are we?"

"We're family, forever," Trevor nodded, calming down a little.

There was a knock on the door, Rose and Trevor looked at it.

"You're scared," Elena stated.

"Stay here with them and don't make a sound," Rose commanded and went to answer the door.

A couple of minutes later they heard Rose coming back. Elena and Leilani held hands and turned to see Elijah a handsome man in a suit with a surprised expression. He sped up to Elena, he looked at her and smelt her neck, "Human. It's impossible. Hello there..."

"The house should be behind those trees," Sakura pointed out, they had stopped in what seemed like the middle of nowhere.

"Wait," Damon stepped in front of them, "I've got a lot more experience than you do with those sorts of things."

"What is your point?" Stefan grumbled.

"My point is, whoever has Elena and Leilani is probably who was after Katherine in 1864 and before that, and is probably after you," Damon looked down at Sakura.

"And?" Sakura crossed her arms.

"And it puts them at 500 years old and strong. Are you sure you want to do this?" Damon frowned.

"I'm certain," Sakura scowled.

"So am I," Stefan said with certainty.

"Because if we go in that house, we may not come back out," Damon was being honest.

"Alright, then I won't come out," Stefan growled.

"We'll all come out, no matter what," Sakura's eyes glowed.

"I can't think of a better reason to die," Stefan walked past them.

Sakura took hold of his face and kissed him gently, "Damon, no one is going to die."

She released him and followed Stefan. Damon paused for a moment before following along as well. They carefully entered the old abandoned house. They heard a scream, but it wasn't from either Elena or Leilani. "We'll go up first," Damon said to Sakura. Stefan and Damon used their super speed to move all around the house, to try and mess with them. Sakura carefully got closer to the group of people. From what she could tell, there was a woman with a hold on Elena and Leilani and a man in a business suit.

"Up here," Stefan was up the stairs.

Elijah rushed up the stairs.

"Down here," Damon shot him with an arrow from below, only hitting his hand.

Elijah removed it. He looked to see that Elena, Leilani and Rose had disappeared. Stefan took Elena and Leilani and tried to make sure they were quiet. Damon took Rose and had his hand over her mouth.

"Excuse me. To who may be concerned, you're making a grave mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't. Do you hear that," Elijah was annoyed. Elijah broke a wooden coat rack to make it into a stake, " I repeat, you cannot beat me. So I want the girls, I'm going to count to 3 or heads will roll. Do we understand each other?"

Sakura appeared in the doorway, "Really? I'm the hard one to catch don't you know, why not keep things between us for now?"

"The shadow user? I heard you were strong, but didn't think you were stupid. I am an original, you can't kill me," Elijah boasted, "I do thank you for coming though. Saves me the trouble of having to find you."

Elena appeared at the top of the stairs. Knowing Elena was the easier target, Elijah rushed up to her. Elena threw a vervain bomb in his face. It burned, but quickly healed. Stefan appeared beside her and shot him with the air compression gun. It didn't phase Elijah so Stefan dropped the gun.

"Umbra Ferrum," Sakura threw her sword into Elijah's back, missing his heart. He fell down the stairs but quickly got up. "Duo," Sakura summoned her other sword. He rushed at her, and she stabbed him in the gut. She growled as she pushed him away. He stumbled back and Damon staked him in the heart, pinning him into the pillar behind him. Elijah's body went lifeless and grey.

Rose saw Elijah and ran away. Damon sighed and Elena rushed up to Stefan, "Hey come here. Are you hurt? Are you okay?"

"Sakura!" Leilani rushed to give her a hug, "I'm so glad you came for me."

"Of course," Sakura smiled.

"Ahem, don't I get anything?" Damon said referring to Stefan and Sakura getting hugs.

"Of course!" Leilani dragged Sakura in to hug him with her, "Thank you Damon."

Elena went home to see Jeremy. Damon pulled his car in, with Sakura in the back and Leilani in the passenger seat. "Thanks again guys," Leilani hopped out quickly, "I'll give you guys a few minutes."

Sakura hopped in the front beside Damon. "You know that was reckless," Damon stated.

"What?" Sakura looked at him confused.

"You almost killed him, that would be another mark added," he poked her in the arm.

"Well I didn't, you did," Sakura pointed out.

"Maybe you should just detain, not seriously injure people from now on," Damon suggested.

"What happens, happens," Sakura went to get out when Damon stopped her.

"It's scary thinking about what might end up happening," he sighed, worry strewn across his face. He leaned in close and kissed her briefly, "Hand this to Elena when you have the chance, Elijah took if off," Damon handed her the necklace.

"Will do," Sakura got out and went to the front door. Damon waved to her before backing out of the driveway.

"It's not over," Sakura turned to see Allen, "Glad you're alright, but things have just started. Elijah isn't dead, and Klaus will come soon." With that he disappeared.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed.
