Game of Chance

Disclaimer: I don't own any character, just changed the plot to something that I would have liked to see.

Warnings: Well, this is MY FIC, so that means I'm going to write what I WANT. Beware: Damon, Elena and Hayley fans... This isn't for you. I'm gonna bash them, and probably kill them, so, just a fair warning.

Hope you guys enjoy this! Happy reading!

Ch 1

Their catfight had been pretty sweet until Elena tried to force fed the cure down Katherine's throat. The older vampire nearly got her mouth stuffed with that disgusting thing but flashed away and snapped Elena's neck in a second. Getting the cure, she brought her shadow self and dragged her inside an abandoned house. Now it was only a matter of time. Just waiting the little Gilbert to wake up, feeding her the cure and going to New Orleans to drop her on Klaus lap to gain her freedom. The joy! After ensuring Elena was tied to a chair, Katherine went on and about preparing herself for the littler trip that would eventually, hopefully, lead her to her beloved freedom. When a groan echoed throughout the house, the brunette smirked and flashed, appearing in front of a very confused doppelganger.

"Hello Elena. Good to see you're awake. Let's get some things straight. One: You don't get to try and feed me the cure, two: you don't get to try and outsmart me, cause, let's face it. You're not the brightest one in our family, darling. I was you before you even existed. Don't you ever forget that. And three: you're going to bring me my freedom. We are going to have so much fun together..." She smiles a cheschire smile getting closer to Elena who was trying to get away without sucess. "Don't fight it, sweet pie, you're going to get yourself killed." Getting the cure, the older vampiress got Elena's face and stuffed the cure down her throat seeing her eyes widening in fear. That was the best feeling Katherine had in a while. Not even two seconds later, Elena was out. The time had come. And she was more than ready to get rid of her shadow self.

Getting some clothes to pretend to be her boring doppelganger, Katherine caught what she needed and returned home, getting on her Elena persona before going to the room, human little Gilbert was. Like expected, she was trying to get away, but no sucess so far. Smiling, she crossed her arms and tutted calling attention of the human. Hearing her heartbeat spike made the vampiress feel giddy, pleased with the outcome. "Still trying to get out? If you coudn't when you were a vampire, do you realy think you could do it now that you're human? Poor, little Elena. Always the damsel in distress..."

"Yeah, and if I remember correctly, you said I stole your life, and I'm oved. You're just envy of me, so..."

"Oh, she has claws... Look at her! Litlle puppy trying to be all tough. Cute. And Pathetic. I wonder what Klaus is gonna do to you..." Elena's face shifted to one that screamed fear which made the vampiress laugh out loud. "Oh... Is little puppy scared? You should be, because... If I remember correclty, which I always do, you and your little group of misfits killed two of his brothers..."

"Please... Please you suffered enough escaping Klaus... And you're going to hand me over to him? Do you have any idea what he plans to do to me?" Katherine snorted and rolled her eyes, getting face to face with her human shadow self.

"I don't really care. And to be fair... You wouldn't care either. So, here's the thing. I have the power and you have nothing. And, to show you my appreciation of you, we are going to make a little game, just to make things interesting."

"Kather-"

"You don't have any idea of doppelgangers or curses or anything. You are lost in 1492, and don't know how you came here. Your name... Is Katerina Petrova." She compelled Elena, and showed her some key memories to make her believable enough to trick everyone. She was going to get her revenge no matter what. And in the end... She would be free. Satisfied with the way her human counterpart widened her eyes upon seeing another person exactly like her, Katherine smirked and winked to Elena. "Hello dear... What's' your name?"

"M-miss... H-how are we exactly like?"

"Don't worry, you'll forget that in a few seconds... What's your name?"

"I'm Katerina Petrova, miss?"

"Forget we ever had contact, Katerina." Releasing the human, she compelled her and watched her walk away completely lost. "I guess it's game on..."
