Chapter 22 - Darling Katherine Has Arrived. .

————

The Bar in The Hotel

Klaus POV

I see her go up to the music to pick out a song, he notices that ' Day' what the hell kind of name is that anyways . . .and this Tyler are watching her too as she looks through the music.

I can tell that she's not Katherine. She's different and it's weird. It's just a feeling inside of him.

She starts dancing as the music begins. I see both males go up to her as she moves to the beat.

I never knew just what to do,

When I came to life and all those promises,

Always earned every word that came along the way,

I wasn't sure what I was thinking as I watched the way she moved. Maybe it was the way her hips moved but I have to admit I want to watch her for awhile.

Now I know that what I sow, will always be the way things really just grow,

Forever now, please show me how,

To fight these feelings, they're still reeling

Her arms are above her head now as she moves to the music swaying her hips and I can't believe I haven't went up to introduce myself yet. Then again I may have to kill her so, maybe it's best to just watch for now and research her.

No longer will I have to remind the past,

Those I've come to glimpse of it, (Yeah)

No longer will I carry this weighted past,

Now I face the day with no shame.

Maybe I'm watching for the laugh she makes when one of her (friends?) twirl her around. Or how she quietly sings to the music off key and just doesn't care.

I've always tried to live the life,

Now looking back, and it doesn't seem right,

How I lived, and never gived,

And always take what wasn't mine,

Or maybe it's the way she dances with her body moving, like she could take on the world with a dance, almost like she feels the music in her soul.

In discreet, could never keep a glimor in my soul of something more,

No longer I will sit and die, for something I don't even really care for

No longer will I have to remind the past,

Those I've come to glimpse of it, (Yeah)

No longer will I carry this weighted past,

Now I face the day with no shame.

Or maybe it's the way she holds her head up high as she moves and spins around. Or maybe it's the way she bursts into laughter when she accidentally falls down.

Yeah

No longer...

No longer will I have to remind the past,

Those I've come to glimpse of it, (Yeah)

No longer will I carry this weighted past,

Now I face the day with no shame.

I've watched women dance before, from strippers to drunken women on the streets but I'd at least admit to myself that I love the way she moves herself. To bad if she's actually a new doppelgänger I'll have to kill her.

No longer

No longer

Now I face the day, with no shame

After the music stops I see her grab the two males she's around and walk them back over to the bar.

I see her answer a phone shortly after.

I'm to far away to hear what's said on the other end of the call though.

I knows I'm going to have to find out about what I can about her.

——————————————————

My cell phone rings so I answer when I see it's Aunty Jenna.

"Hello?" I reply.

"Elena? Elena?" Jenna says worriedly.

"What is it Jenna?" I ask her feeling concerned.

Aunt Jenna replies hurriedly "Katherine's in town Elena, she looks like you but also doesn't and we knew that you weren't in town, she tried to compel me to let her enter the house."

"Fuck, is Dad ok?" I ask her worriedly, sure Daddy John is an ass but he's still Elena's father right? He just isn't there and thinks he knows everything.

"Yeah, yeah, he's fine. He noticed it wasn't you. Her eyes, her eyes aren't Yours and well you know." Jenna says sounding out of breath.

"Alright, thanks for letting us know. We'll be heading back then. Love you, see you soon." I tell her then I hang up my cell.

Damon is looking at me concerned. Hm. I wonder if he's going to try to get back with Kat?

Tyler is on the other side of me, his expression is worried.

I look at Damon, my eyes are hard. "We need to get Jeremy and Anna. She's back Day and I'll kill that bitch before she hurts my family or my friends." I tell him sternly.

He lets out a sigh and a smirk twitches on his face "Can't keep you out of trouble can I Danger Magnet?"

I snort and roll my eyes. "Keep it up and I'll throw something at you."

Then he mocks me "Like a notepad."

I hold in a laugh and snark back "I was thinking a throwing knife but you can call it whatever you want to Day." I finish with a wink as Tyler starts laughing

"Never change Lena." Tyler says with a smile on his face.

I snort in amusement and say "Don't plan to."

As we walk to the casino I ask "do you think they went here instead of one of the rooms?"

"Yeah, otherwise being in Vegas wouldn't be as fun Lena." Damon says while winking at me.

I ram my shoulder into him and say "oops."

"Liar" Damon says with a smile as he bumps me and I bump into Tyler.

"No fair, You've got what 60-80lbs on my me." I say as Tyler grabs my hand.

"I'll get us checked out and our bags to the car." Damon says, knowing that I want to get home.

"Thanks Day." I say with a small smile and give him a hug. Tyler tugs me into the casino as Damon rolls his eyes.

"Anna!" I shout out waving my hand.

"Jeremy" Tyler shouts.

Two heads snap up by the black jack table. We head over there.

"We have to leave early Jere, the Kat is back, I was hoping we could stay the night you know , . " I finish saying sadly.

"Can I stay with Anna?" Jere asks me curiously.

"Yeah, it's been pretty safe there right?" I ask Anna carefully.

She smiles a little "I'll keep your brother safe Lena."

I let out a relieved breath "Thanks, lets go, Damon was getting the bags ready to go. "

———————————————————

After we dropped Jere and Anna off we headed straight to the Gilbert Residence and Damon dropped me off with Tyler so he could 'deal' with Katherine or whatever. Which means they'll make out and then he'll ask her to take him back or something.

Hospital

Stefan's POV

I've been waiting for Caroline to wake for awhile now, I feels like it's been forever since Kat snapped my neck and I woke to find Caroline dead, I know it's not dead dead but I can't help but be saddened.

Whenever I saw her around she was always full of life.

Caroline's eyes open and she shoots out of bed and says "that bitch looked almost like Lena."

I puts out my hands carefully, trying to make sure she's not startled "your right that was Katherine. Lena told me you didn't believe the whole vamp thing, but Bon made you a ring already just in case Katherine turned you." He hands her the daylight ring "You're in transition right now, Damon and I will both teach you control." I tell her sincerely.

Maybe I judged her to harshly? From hanging out with her because of Lena I've realized that I'm is rather attracted to her and enjoy her personality.

Salvatore Boarding House

Damon's POV

I was sitting out the couch in the living room. We know that Kat is back and to be honest I'm not sure how I feel about that. . .

I hear a noise and I look over, I see her walking into the room, trying to look dark and sexy, but her eyes aren't Lena's mix and . .

"Damon, Where have you been?" She asks while walking towards me as I stand up.

I shrug my shoulder "Out"

"Oh?" She says as she walks over to me and starts putting her hands on my shoulders and running her hand over my chest.

It'd be a lie to say a part of me didn't want it, but when my mind drifted to Lena I know that I couldn't.

I pushed her off of my body "Not interested."

She pouts. I snark out "a woman at your age shouldn't pout, you'll get wrinkles."

She rolls her eyes and says "Now you hurt my feelings."

I rolls my eyes too and say "You'd have to have feelings for them to be hurt."

She vamp speeds to me and grabs me by the collar and slams me into the wall and starts kissing me then she rips open my shirt.

I grabs her and throws her off of my person, her body flies over the couch. She gets back up quickly "I'm not interested in you Katherine. Besides, shouldn't you be checking on Stefan about now?"

She chuckles and says "Oh I did, he was sleeping in best friend Caroline's room at the hospital and I may or may not have snapped his neck and smothered her with a pillow." She shrugs her shoulders.

I roll my eyes and snarks out "You're such a bitch."

"So I heard my doppelgänger is here." Katherine says curiously "apparently from what I've heard, you're obsessed with her and that Stefan likes her too."

I snort and waves my hand in annoyance "Please, she's practically like his best friend. ." I pause for a minute then say "or like his sister or something." Then I snort and says with sarcasm "Jealous Kat?"

She rolls her eyes and says annoyed and with a pout "Hardly"

I snort "Right, she knew you'd come. If Lena didn't want to meet you someday I'd kill you myself." I tell her honestly.

3rd POV

Katherine looks at Damon in surprise on both accounts, he doesn't care if he kills her? But she won't bring that up, she's not weak like that. "She wants to meet me?"

Damon snorts again, sounding between annoyed and a bit angry "Yup,"

Katherine looks amused and crosses her arms over her chest and asks "Why?"

Damon looks at her amused as he says "Because, she can be a little crazy sometimes. Don't be surprised if she pulls you in with blanket forts or something."

Katherine blinks and she tilts her head confused and asks "WHAT?"

Damon nods still looking amused then says happily "Yup, don't ask. Then again she'd have to trust you, so you probably won't be included if there's a random fort meeting."

———————————————————

Gilbert Residence

I see John sitting in the living room.

I sit beside him and asked bluntly "So you had an almost deadly encounter with Kitty Kat then?"

His head snaps to me and he presses his lips and nods. "You're going to need to trust me Daddy." I tell him bluntly.

Tyler walks down the stairs and sits beside me and looks at John and smiles "Hey John, Alaric and Jenna are on their way down."

I nod "Good, Thanks the gods for planning ahead right?"

"Where's Jeremy?" Daddy John asks.

"Staying with his girlfriend of course " I tell daddy with a smile.

He blinks and nods with his brow frowned haha.

Alaric and aunt Jenna walk into the living room holding hands and sit on the opposite side set of couches. "Alright, Katherine is back in town, you all know that though. The same rules apply, if someone comes over you can open the door and gesture inside but Do NOT and I Repeat DO NOT Invite them inside this house." I tell them sternly and they nod.

"Jeremy already knows that so he doesn't need to be reminded." I let them know so that they don't worry.

"Be careful around my look-a-like, she can be pretty crazy sometimes." I stand up and I notice it's gotten late.

I hug Daddy who stiffens momentarily before hugging me saying good night.

I hug Tyler and say "Night Tyler."

He whispers quietly "night Lena"

I hug Alaric and he stiffens for a little too "hugging brings happiness Ric" I say with a smile "Good night Ric."

I hold my Aunty in a tight hug and say "Love you Aunty"

She smiles and says "love you too Lena, goodnight."

I head up to my room and shower and get in some nice comfy pajamas.

——————————————————

No, Klaus doesn't know of their connection. He won't know why or what it is for while. He also isn't positive she's the doppelgänger but he's planning on finding out everything about her just in case.

Things will be a mix between AU and Cannon, some things won't happen at all and other things will be completely different.

What did you think of Damon and Katherine's meeting?
