Stefan and Damon found the house where the Originals were supposed to live with Katherine and Elena after searching for over an hour. The sun was hot in New Orleans that morning. You could feel the heat on your skin. "I can't believe I let you talk me into coming here, Stefan," said Damon while shaking his head. "Just what every guy wants. To go visiting their ex with their new boyfriend..." Damon trailed off.
"You've made progress, Damon," said Stefan. "You're actually admitting that you broke up..."
"Least I had a girlfriend to break up with..." said Damon sarcastically. "You couldn't even get one date out of Blondie..."
"She's my best friend, not someone I want to see," Stefan said. "Anyway, I think she is interested in someone else. She keeps getting letters from somebody..."
Damon stopped walking, unable to help the grin that crossed his face. He knew very little about Caroline, but the one thing he knew for sure was that she had a thing for a certain hybrid who lived here.
"Shut up," said Stefan icily. Stefan shook his head.
"So who gets to ring the bell first..." Damon chimed. "I can't believe we followed Katherine here..."
The front doors then opened before the Salvatore brothers could decide what to do about ringing the door bell. Katherine Pierce peered around the corner at them. "I was hoping it was just Stefan that I heard out here," Katherine quipped. "Too bad," She said while smiling at Stefan.
"Katherine, is it true Klaus kidnapped you or are you here willingly..." Damon trailed off. "Please tell me you're really not stupid enough..."
"I came here out of curiosity..." replied Katherine. She was still beaming at Stefan.
"And you stayed..." Damon snapped, annoyed.
"I stayed because I have too. Plus it's smart to stay put. Klaus needs us for something...I don't really want to tease a sleeping lion," Katherine finished. "So, I guess you're here for Elena..." She said to Damon. "Not too smart. She's already with someone else...and she won't want to leave with you..."
"We actually came here to check in with you, and offer you a ride back to Mystic Falls," said Stefan. "Why wait around for the shoe to drop?"
"Oh you were concerned about me?" Katherine cooed happily at the younger Salvatore. "I always knew you couldn't let go. But Damon here...really surprises me. Want to rekindle an old flame, Damon?" She touched his cheek and grinned when he pulled away from her.
"Katherine, is that Stefan?" said a familiar voice.
"Even Elena still notices him first," She said to Damon.
When Elena appeared in the doorway Katherine took her cue. She put a hand on Damon's arm and lead him away from Elena. Damon happily didn't fight her. "We're going for a walk," Katherine called after them.
"What's going on here?" asked Elena to Stefan.
"Honestly I thought a visit here would be healthy for him," said Stefan. "You did leave rather abruptly...he needs to let you go..."
"So you came to see Katherine?" Elena sounded angry.
"Is it true you're with Elijah?"
Elena frowned but nodded her head. "It's none of his business."
"Have you found out what Klaus wants you both here for?"
Elena shook her head. "I don't know everything, but Klaus has a witch that's planning to destroy the magic the witches use here. He needs a doppelganger as part of the spell."
"And you're going to stay here and let them use you..."
"It's more complicated then that, Stefan...besides, Elijah will protect me..."
Stefan shook his head. "I think you're wrong to trust him."
Stefan then started walking after Katherine and Damon. "I'm going to see if the other doppelganger makes more sense..." He called after Elena.
