Rebekah had told Elena of the Casket Girls Festival, an event where every girl, no matter their age or if they were pregnant, would dress up in white dresses, being an yearly event and that it was today. Elena was glad that she was going to be able to witness it. Elena, who was wearing a white thigh length crochet midi dress, smiled as she did a small twirl in front of the full body length mirror that was in Elijah's and her room at the Abattoir.
"No."Elijah, who was wearing a leather jacket, a short sleeve white shirt, and dark blue jeans paired with black leather boots, said as he leaned against the door frame, his arms crossed.
"Yes."Elena retorted, turning to face him and put her hands on her hips, frowning at him."I'm wearing this today and you're not going to stop me."
"No, you're not."Elijah disagreed as he pushed himself off the door frame and stalked towards her.
"And why not?"Elena asked sharply.
"Because that dress is simply too short on you and I will not have all those insolent children for Vampires eyeing my Mate like a treat they cn sample."Elijah said coolly.
"Too bad, I'm still wearing it."Elena said calmly, not at all afraid of the way Elijah was walking towards her
"Then I guess I will have no choice but to keep you locked up in here with me."Elijah said before Elena let out a squeal as she was easily scooped up into Elijah's arms.
"Hey, hey, hey!"Elena squealed and giggled as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders while wrapping her legs around his waist before Elijah kissed her.
Before they could go any further though with their make out session, Klaus came into the room."Elena, we have-For bloody hell sake! At least close the door if you're going to practically pounce on one another!"Klaus exclaimed as Elena and Elijah pulled away from each other and Elijah put Elena down on her feet, allowing Klaus to get a good look at her dress."No, she is not wearing that. I forbid it!"Klaus snapped."Put something more appropriate on."
"Excuse me! You forbid it?"Elena exclaimed, looking ready to gut Klaus or give him an aneurysm but Elijah held her back by placing a hand on her shoulder."It's the twenty-first century, Klaus. I can wear what I want!"
"Not as long as you live here and have me for a Big Brother and Elijah for a Mate!"Klaus retorted and Elena huffed.
"Niklaus,"Elijah cut in on their argument."What do you need?"
Klaus turned his attention on Elijah."It's rather hard to explain actually."Klaus said after a minute of thinking and Elena and Elijah shared a confused look.
"What is?"Elena asked, frowning.
"Me."Elena's and Elijah's eyes widened in shock at who stepped into the room and stood beside Klaus.
"Katherine!?"Elena exclaimed, her shock turning to fury.
"She's not Katherine!"A familiar voice said and the owner of the voice appeared in front of 'Katherine' in a protective stance.
"Caroline? What's going on?"Elena asked, bewildered."What do you mean that's not Katherine?"
"What's all the shouting about!"Rebekah snapped as she came into the bedroom, only to freeze before her eyes narrowed."How the bloody hell are you still alive!?"
"Does everyone in this place know Katherine?"The new Petrova Doppelganger asked, looking annoyed.
"They do. I'm not sure about who else lives here though."Caroline said to the Petrova Doppelganger she was standing in front of protectively. Elena frowned as she looked the girl over, noticing a few differences.
One, she didn't look like a slut, and two, her hair wasn't curly in a Katherine like fashion, nor was said hair long, it hit above her cleavage like Caroline's does, and she has a slightly a side fringe and has little layers. Katherine would never wear natural clothes that don't make her look like a slut. There was also something about her, something that told Elena that she could trust this new Doppelganger.
"She's not Katherine."Elena spoke up, drawing everyone's attention to her."Look at her, Rebekah. Her stance, her hair, her clothes, even her eyes. There is no way Katherine could ever pull off the look in this Doppelganger eyes'."Elijah and Rebekah looked the new Doppelganger over again and had to agree, Katherine could never pull off the way Elena could express herself though her eyes, so how could this one do it.
"Alright then, who is she?"Rebekah asked, crossing her arms while Elijah pulled Elena into his arms and looked at the girl with narrowed eyes.
"We were just getting to that."Elena said before looking at Caroline, who had moved to stand next to the new Doppelganger, making so that the new Doppelganger stood between her and Klaus.
"My name is Chloe."Chloe looked between the trio before looking directly at Elena."Chloe Clarke and I'm your Sister."Chloe said calmly and Elena's eyes widened.
"What?"Elijah, Elena, and Rebekah exclaimed, looking Chloe as if she had just grown two heads.
"It's true. I've seen her memories."Caroline pipped up.
"Then where has she been for the last eighteen years of Elena's life?"Rebekah spoke up protectively."Why now?"
"Because I found two weeks ago that I was adopted on the night I got kicked out of my Coven, the same Coven that raised me, because the Elders found out I was a Siphoner Witch."Chloe answered Rebekah, who frowned and a sudden look of understanding appeared on her face, while Elijah grimaced.
He had heard of Siphoners and how they were cast out of their Covens because they had to steal Magic from other sources to create and use Magic for themselves. Plus, after being cast out from their Covens, they normally went rouge, or insane, and vowed to destroy their Covens. Elena meanwhile was completely clueless but seeing the look on Rebekah's face and glancing up at Elijah, she knew that whatever a Siphoner Witch was, it was obvious that they never had a good life.
"I don't mean to act like the only idiot in the room, but what exactly is a Siphoner Witch?"Elena asked, nearly bashfully.
Chloe grinned warily."A Siphoner is a Witch or Warlock that is born without the ability to generate their own Magic but we do possess a rare power that allows us to Siphon Magic from other sources so that we can use that Magic for our own purposes."Chloe explained and Elena nodded in understanding.
"And like myself, Elena, they are considered abominations by many Witch Communities despite the fact that Siphoners are born with these abilities and have faced the harsh treatments by their Covens when discovered."Klaus added, making Elena grimaced.
"I was lucky though, my Adoptive Mother knew and tried to keep me safe by storing a lot of limitless Magic into this pendant, making it easy for me to access Magic without anyone knowing."Chloe said, gesturing to her pendant.
"So, you were Adopted by a Witch Coven? Why?"Elena asked after a few minutes.
"It's a long story, so we should sit down."Elijah walked over to his bed, drawing a willing Elena along and sat down with her on his lap.
Chloe couldn't help but smile at seeing them together. They looked perfect for one another. Rebekah sat on the couch along with Caroline and Klaus while Chloe sat on the dressing table stool, looking between everyone, who let her gather herself for a few minutes.
"Ok, from what I was told by my Adoptive Mother the night I ran from the Coven, we were separated for a few reasons. One of them being Klaus,"Chloe nodded to Klaus, who shrugged while Elena glared at him."and the other being the Travelers. We were one of the keys to help bring a powerful Traveler back from the Other Side."
"One of the keys would be our blood, wouldn't it?"Elena stated more then asked questionably.
Chloe nodded, grimacing."Yes. Anyway, they managed to bring the Traveler back by using my blood and Stefan Salvatore's blood."
"Stefan? Why would they use Stefan's blood?"Rebekah asked as she and her Siblings looked at Chloe with wide eyes.
"Because it turns out that Stefan was a Doppelganger"Elena, Klaus, and Rebekah looked dumbfounded while Elijah's eyebrow shot up in surprise."and the Traveler put a powerful Spell on the Doppelgangers, drawing them to one another. He called it the Doppelganger 'Prophecy' Spell."
"What does it do?"Klaus asked, eyes narrowed.
"It attracts the Doppelgangers to one another. This way, the Travelers could use their blood to break their Curse."
"What Curse?"Rebekah asked, frowning.
"The Travelers were Cursed by a group of Powerful Witches who had called upon the Spirits to help them."Elena spoke up."The Curse prevented the Travelers from gathering as a Coven or Tribe because if they did, disasters such as plagues, fires and earthquakes would appear whenever they gathered. Plus, they can no longer access Traditional Magic sources."Elena explained.
"But you two come from a Traveler Bloodline."Rebekah said, frowning.
"Yeah but you can convert from being a Traveler to a Nature Witch."Chloe said calmly.
"Or Gypsy."Elena spoke up and the two grinned at one another.
"Or Gypsy."Chloe agreed before sighing."Anyway, they broke their Curse."Chloe said, looking as if it was her fault."There's still more to tell you though."She added.
"Like what, Miss. Clarke?"Elijah asked curiously.
"How Stefan is a Doppelganger and Tatia was not the Originator of the Petrova Bloodline."Everyone's, even Caroline's, eyes widened.
"But Mother said-Your Mother lied."Chloe cut Rebekah off, causing Rebekah to pause and think before she nodded.
"When hasn't that bitch lied?"Elena grumbled and Elijah kissed her head.
"Please, continue."Elijah said, nodding for Chloe to go on.
"Right, well it turns out that three Witch Bloodlines have always been intertwined throughout History. The Petrova, Salvatore, and Bennett Bloodlines."
"Wait, the Salvatore's were Witches?"Klaus asked, shocked.
"A long time ago, yes."Chloe nodded and frowned."But they stopped doing Magic around four hundred years ago, I think. Anyway, those three Bloodlines have always been intertwined because of Qetsiyah, Silas, and Amara. Silas and Amara being the Originators of the Petrova and Salvatore Bloodline along with being the Original Doppelgangers, while Qetsiyah is the Originator of the Bennett Bloodline..."The group listened as Chloe went into depth with the details, shocking them all and she explained how Markos, the leader of the Travelers who had put the Doppelganger Prophecy Spell on the Salvatore and Petrova Bloodline was back from the dead and was planing something that could most likely destroy the Supernaturals within Mystic Falls, seeing as though that was where the Travelers had gathered.
"So, all in all, we just have to stay away from Mystic Falls?"Elena asked and Chloe nodded."Well then, don't have to tell me twice. I'm liking New Orleans more and more everyday."Elena chirped as she leaned against Elijah, who held her tightly in his arms. Caroline smiled at them, happy that Elena finally seemed happy."So, what are you going to do now?"
"I was hoping I could stay with my Big Sister."Chloe said, looking at her twin hopefully and no one missed the way Elena tensed and looked unsure.
"I have a habit for getting my Family killed, Chloe."Elena said softly, a look of fear appearing in her eyes. Elijah, Caroline, Rebekah, and Klaus shared a grimaced at Elena's words
Elijah, wanting to keep his Mate calm, rubbed her shoulders soothingly."I can take care of myself."Chloe said coolly."And I can protect myself. I have Magic."
"But that doesn't make you Immortal like me!"Elena suddenly exclaimed before she paused and looked thoughtful."Unless, we make you Immortal..."Elena trailed off, looking unsure as she glanced at Klaus, who got the idea of what she was hinting at and disappeared, only to reappear with the Grimoire that held the The Immortality Spell and handed it to Elena while everyone else was looking between the two as if they had lost their minds.
