"I know where they're going."Was the first thing Katherine said when she walked into the living room of the apartment and found Elena sitting on the floor, drawing in her sketch book, that Katherine had gotten her, while also vaping.
"Where?"Elena asked after exhaling the smoke from her lungs.
"Chicago."Katherine stated."Start packing."She added."Make sure it's only what you need. Everything else that I've brought you will be shipped back to your house."
"Stop ordering me around like a child"Elena snapped her sketch book shut before standing up."and why would they go to Chicago? Plus, it's not my house, it's Elijah's house."
"Other then the fact that Stefan was a well known Ripper in Windy City?"Katherine asked."Klaus knew a powerful Witch in the 1920's, rumour has it, she's still alive."Elena looked between shocked and impressed.
Her eyes suddenly narrowed in thought as she started packing up her Grimoires and put them in the Duffel Bag that Katherine brought into the living room, which was already filled with enough clothes for a week.
"Wait, didn't you tell me that you used to watch Stefan and Damon from the shadows."Katherine nodded."And you also said that Stefan was in Chicago during the 1920's and if Klaus was there, he had to have known about a Ripper in the City, right?"Elena asked and Katherine smirked.
"Yeah, they knew each other but as I'm sure you know, Originals can Compel Vampires."Katherine stated and Elena nodded."Let's hit the road."
"Where are you going?"Elena asked as she came back out of the bedroom and found Katherine about to leave the hotel room.
"To find out if Damon's here or not."Katherine explained cryptically.
Elena's eyebrows furrowed and her eyes narrowed but she ended up shrugging, knowing that Katherine most likely had a plan that involved Damon but she didn't want Elena to really be part of it because of her own affection and adoration for the Immortal Doppelganger Witch.
"Fine. I have potions to brew anyway."Elena said causally and laughed at the disgusted look on Katherine's face."Don't worry. I'll remember to open a window this time."Elena added, chuckling as she remembered the last time she made a potion and how badly Katherine reacted to it, and the older Petrova doppelganger left.
As Elena started gathering the ingredients that she needed for the potions, she paused as she felt foreign Magic wash over her. It was weak, almost nonexistent, but it was still there. Frowning, Elena put the ingredients down and grabbed her jacket,and she put her gun behind between the belt and the pants.
Something or rather someone was calling her. And Elena wanted to know who. After putting her jacket on and putting her most important Grimoires in her Duffel Bag, the Immortal Doppelganger Witch ripped out a piece of paper from her sketch and wrote a small note before leaving the Hotel.
Elena looked up at the warehouse she had been bought to by the foreign Magic that had called out to her and had guided her to the warehouse. Frowning, Elena looked around before entering quietly in case someone was there. Going further into the warehouse, Elena silently slammed her back against a crate when she saw a man, a security guard standing guard.
Glancing back, she blinked in confusion when she found that the guard was gone. Pulling her gun out from in between her belt and pants, Elena heard to where the guard had been standing and peeked around the corner, only to find him gone and found six coffins, but only two were open.
Rushing over to the first opened coffin, Elena found no one in there before checking the other, only to find the same thing. Going over to the third coffin, which was shut, Elena opened it and found the person she had been looking for.
"Elijah."Elena breathed out and put her gun down before wrapping her hands around the Dagger embedded in her heart.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."A feminine voice said from behind her.
With the speed that could put a Vampire to shame, Elena let go of the Dagger to grab her gun, whirling around and without thinking, she fired a bullet at whoever was behind her. Looking at who she shot, Elena was horrified to realise that it wasn't the woman, who had spoken to her, that she had shot, but who the woman was holding in her arms and had been drinking from.
Elena could only watch as the light left the man's eyes,his expression became dull and his body lifeless before the woman, no a blonde Vampire wearing a flapper dress, let him go and they watched as his body dropped to the floor. The blonde looked back at Elena when she let out a pained groan and tilted her head to the side curiously.
"Ah!"Elena let out a pained cry.
As she doubled over and placed a hand over her stomach, Elena realised that she had just triggered her Curse, before tilting her head up and the blonde's blue eyes widened in shock as she saw a pair of yellowish golden eyes stare back at her for a second before it faded.
As the pain subsided, Elena stood back up on weak and wobbly legs."Well, this is interesting. A Werewolf Doppelganger."The blonde said as she walked towards Elena with a predatory look in her eyes."Seeing as you're useless, I'm sure Nik won't mind if I have you."
"Leave her alone, Rebekah!"Came a sharp voice. Another feminine and the two turned to see a brunette girl, who was also wearing a flapper dress, glaring at the blonde.
"And why should I?"Rebekah questioned her Sister, eyes narrowed in rage at being stopped from killing a Doppelganger Werewolf."She's a Petrova Doppelganger, one who seems to be utterly useless for Nik and she seems to know Elijah. We don't need another Doppelganger destroying our Family, again!"Rebekah spat, glaring at Elena, who stayed silent.
"Elena would never destroy our Family, Rebekah."Elena looked at the other Original questionably as she smiled at her."She is Family. She's Elijah intended, they have a bond."Rebekah's eyes went wide in shock."If you kill her, you destroy that bond, and you'll have to face Elijah's wrath and no one, not even Nik will be able to save you."
"How do you know this?"Elena spoke up, looking at the brunette."How do you even know who I am?"
"I know who you are because the moment you did that Locator Spell, my Magic, without you knowing it, latched on to your Magic. I connected myself to you. I could sometimes see and feel everything you did while I was Daggered."The brunette explained calmly.
"You're Aaliyah."Elena stated in realisation."The Original Witchpire."
"And you're the Immortal Petrova Werewitch Hybrid Doppelganger."Aaliyah said, smiling at Elena."Call me Liah, it's a pleasure to meet you, Elena. I'm also sorry about Rebekah startling you and causing you to Trigger your Curse."
"It's fine. It was gonna happen sooner or later."Elena said sadly."I just wished it happened later."Elena added under her breath."It's nice to meet you both, Rebekah and Liah Mikaelson. I'm Elena Gilbert..."Elena tailed off, offering them a small smile."And about Klaus and the Ritual, he already did it, on my twin Sister."Elena explained."He's a Werepire Hybrid now."
"Fantastic."Rebekah and Liah said in unison.
Elena, Rebekah, and Liah had started talking, well, Rebekah and Liah asked Elena about her life and she told them that she had mostly spent her life with Sheila Bennett, who she called Grams, and that she taught Elena Magic.
She also talked about how she met Elijah and how they had found out they had a bond through the pendant that Sheila had given Elena. Liah suddenly grabbed Elena and Vamp-Sped her behind a crate, along with Rebekah, who placed her index finger over her lips, telling Elena to be quiet.
"Rebekah, Liah..."A male voice called out to the Sisters. A voice they seemed to know, judging by the look on Rebekah's face."It's your Big Brother. Come out, come out, wherever you are."He said in a sing song voice and Rebekah was gone before Elena and Liah heard a gasp.
"Go to hell, Nik!"They heard Rebekah yell angrily at Klaus before letting go of the Dagger.
Elena and Liah quietly stepped out of hiding as Klaus got over his shock at being stabbed and reached up, pulling the Dagger out of his torso and let drop to the ground as he looked at Rebekah, who looked back at him with pursed lips.
"Don't pout. You knew it wouldn't kill me."Klaus stated.
"No, but I was hoping it would hurt more."Rebekah retorted in a hiss before she turned on her heels and started to walk away.
Klaus was quick to follow Rebekah."I understand that you're upset with me, Rebekah..."Klaus trailed off as he put his hand on Rebekah's shoulder, causing her to stop walking."So I'm going to let that go. Just this once."Klaus said as they faced each other."I brought you a little peace offering."He looked towards the doors."You can come in."He said and Rebekah followed his line of sight, as did Elena and Liah.
Elena's eyes widened when she saw Stefan walk in."Stefan."Rebekah said, voice filled with emotions as Stefan looked at her before Klaus walked over to him and put his hand on Stefan's shoulder.
"Now you remember."Klaus said, his eyes dilated as did Stefan's before everything came rushing back to Stefan, causing him to close his eyes.
"Rebekah."He said after opening his eyes and looked at Rebekah for a few seconds before walking towards her.
"Stefan."Klaus called out to him, causing Stefan to look back at him.
"I remember you."Stefan said softly, almost too softly that Elena didn't catch what he had said."We were friends."Stefan stated.
"We are friends."Klaus corrected Stefan as he walked towards him.
"Really? I thought friends don't compel their friends memories away, Nik."Liah spoke up, causing everyone to look at her.
Stefan's eyes widened when he saw Elena, most likely thinking that she was Emily, and Klaus looked confused and enraged at the same time at seeing Elena as well, most likely thinking that she was Emily as well.
"I'm not Emily or Katherine."Elena quickly said as she put her hands up, causing Klaus to pause."I'm Emily's twin."
"Elena."Stefan said, eyes wide at seeing the older Gilbert.
"Ah, the Witch Doppelganger."Klaus stated in realisation."Elijah's newest Doppelganger Lover."
"And only Lover this time, Nik."Liah stated coldly causing Klaus to raise an eyebrow at her.
"She and Elijah are bonded. You kill her, Elijah will never forgive you."Rebekah added."But then again, it's not like you can kill her even if you wanted to, she's Immortal."Klaus and Stefan looked between the girls, stunned.
"Oh, and she's not just a Witch, she's a Hybrid. Half Werewolf, half Witch. She's an Immortal Werewitch."Liah couldn't help but add as she and Elena walked over to the trio.
"How interesting."Klaus finally said as Elena stared at him with narrowed."I suppose we have a lot to talk about, Love. But, now for the reason you two are here."Klaus said, turning his attention to Rebekah and Liah."Gloria tells me that one of you know how to contact the Original Witch."Rebekah and Liah shared a look then looked back at Klaus.
"The Original Witch?"Rebekah and Liah said in unison, making a face at the title.
"What do you have that Gloria needs?"Klaus asked his Younger Sisters.
Rebekah reached up to her collarbone, touching her neck for a brief moment, only to do a double take and look down at her neck, eyes wide, as was Liah's, at finding her neck bare of a necklace.
"Where's my necklace?"Rebekah asked sharply as she looked up at Klaus."What did you do with it?"She questioned Klaus."I never take it off!"
"I don't know. I didn't touch it."They looked at Liah.
"Don't look at me."Liah said, frowning."I never take it from you without asking if I can wear it."She explained herself at the narrowed eyed look she got from Rebekah.
"We need to find it, Nik, Liah."Klaus tried talking over but Rebekah talked louder."Now, I want it back!
"Tell me that's not what she needs, Rebekah!"Klaus yelled, demanding an answer from Rebekah as he grabbed her by the shoulders, startling her and Elena flinched slightly at his rage.
Furious herself, Rebekah pushed Klaus away from her and stormed over to her coffin, looking inside for her necklace, but couldn't find it. Out of frustration and rage, she threw the the coffin to the ground with a yell, partly destroying it in the process.
