Chapter 1

Elena Pov

You know that saying by Albert Einstein that says "A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.". I should have been the wiser person not the clever person. It all started when I tried to solve a problem that started more then 10 centuries ago. I should have listened to Klaus and stayed were I was but no I was the supposed clever person and decided to help now I am trapped in the Salvatore Boarding house again hoping for Klaus to find me and not get hurt in the process.

My story begins on the day I remembered my true family and my world turned upside down. The moment I looked upon Elijah's face the memory's started to slowly come but all I can remember is moments with Elijah and bits of names I no longer remember the faces but the feeling behind them is still there. While my mind was processing all this Trevor's head gets sliced clean off by Elijah and Rose scream's in pure agony, then he drags me by the arm to were Stefan and Damon are playing cat and mouse and pushes me to wards rose says " to whom it may concern; your making a big mistake if you think that you can beat me, you cannot beat me, I want the girl, on the count of three or heads will role" . As Damon kill him the only thing that is going throw my mind is now, he is gone the only connection I have to my past.

A few days later Aunt Jenna called me downstairs, as I turn the corner, he was there not dead and the only connection to my past my hope finally renewed. Turns out he was playing the role of a historian looking into the history of the town. I told Aunt Jenna that I would help Elijah go through all the old journals my family had so we went to the attic. As we are talking, I came upon a book that talked about me, the further I read the more angered and horrified I became. It turns out that Isobel on my parent's orders compelled me to forget my memory's that started to return in nightmares at age 9. The rage and surprise I feel over takes me that the journal falls through my hands with a huge thwack. I barely feel Elijah beside me as the confusion, anger and multiple emotions overtake me, my world closes in as I fall to world of darkness.

Elijah Pov

As I pull the giant bean out my chest the pain sets in. But I still feel the anger coursing throw me, I cant believe I let those weak vampires get the best of me. I will find her again, but first I must get back to the Martins before I go to mystic falls and retrieve the doppelganger and with her, I will gain back my siblings from my brother no matter what gets in my way. As I retrieve my car, I realize I will need my cover as an historian to get close to her and finally destroy my brother and find my siblings. I phone the Martins and tell Jonas to meet me outside of mystic falls in 5 hours we will then plan from there, I just hope that Klaus doesn't keep as close of an eye on me or else my plan will not go as, I hope.

It took me two days to get everything ready without interference from those annoying Salvatore brothers. I just finished talking to Carol Lockwood and she convinced with a bit of persuasion from me, to rope Jenna summers into helping me gain the history from the book of the Gilbert family journals. She tells me most of the journals should be at the house, she gives me the address to her house and tells me to meet her there at around 2:30 and she would have either her niece or nephew to help with my research.

The next day as me and Jenna are talk and she calls her niece "Elena please come down here please", as I see Elena turns the corner her expression vexes me, I feel this deep sense of familiarity and protectiveness that I new long ago when I was human with in moments, I saw a flicker in her like Tatia had when she new something. It cant be all my siblings saw her die, NO I cannot afford to think about her this doppelganger is just a imitation of her, she died, and I have long since buried her. I must in act my revenge on Klaus and I need the doppelganger to do no matter how much she acts like her. As Elena convinces Jenna that she would help me with my research her body language suggest that there is more to her words then it seems.

As we climb up to the attic and are searching for the journals. I can feel her eyes on me, like she's waiting for a good moment to tell me what is bothering her. That feeling of Tatias' memory comes back for the briefs of moments. It gets interrupted me, by the sound of Jenna saying, "Elena my professor texted me saying there was something that needs to be corrected by my term paper, I should be back soon". As we hear the click of the door Elena gives a sigh like the next thing, she's about to say is it going to take everything she has.

I turn around and the next thing she says surprises me for was not what I was expecting her to say "I I – I have to tell you something that you might not believe but it is true" she says this with a quiver as though she is expecting me to laugh right in her face. The next thing she says makes me question everything that's happened with her in and my family. She sighs again and says, " I am Tatia I know you won't believe me but it's true when I first looked upon your face memory started floating back and then I knew I was not from this time". As my vampire mind try's to solve this Conundrum all I hear from Elena's mouth "wolf", "witch" and "reincarnation" and then it hits me yes, she was reincarnated but how, we all saw her die she could never have survived the horrific evening.

As Tatia or Elena as she is called now is talking all I am thinking this changes some of my plan. I have to keep her safe not only for the curse but after as well. As I turn around I think to my self maybe I can use what I was once going to use on Katerina before she betrayed me, humm that might work but I will need a fail safe in order to make sure she survives if Klaus ever finds out he killed her for real and I did not stop him. There would be no place on earth that I could not run, and he would not find me and dagger me.

As my mind is sorting through possibilities and outcomes all I hear from behind me is " it was" and then a loud echoing thwack as I turn around to see what's wrong. I see her hands in the position they were in just moments before she dropped the journal, as I call her name " Elena…ELENA" and try to touch her hand she begins to fall I grab her before she reaches the ground and pick her up. I then vampire speed her to were her sent is the most prominent I gently layer upon the bed. I then race down to the kitchen grab a glass of juice and a cold towel.

As I speed back up stairs and place the cold towel upon her head, she opens her eyes I gently coax her back up and allow her to drink the juice. I say " I believe you El-Tatia and I need to keep you safe I have a plan to…" she cuts me off she says another thing that's surprises me but I know it's the only way to keep everyone safe " you cannot tell Nicklaus or anyone who I am, we must play this right in order for the damage to not be as great I do not wish that harm upon him.

You must promise me Elijah promise me you will not tell him until we decided together". I promise her that I would not tell Nicklaus of the information I new. When I leave the house, I contact the Martins and ask them to check to make sure what she told me was true. One day later they inform me that yes, she is indeed the reincarnation of Tatiana. I am relived that she didn't lie to me but there is still much I most do for everything to fall into place.

About one Year later

I hope Tatia forgives me, but I must tell him me and my siblings are wanting to leave soon. I am going to take Tatia with me if what I says does not bring back my brothers humanity but there might be a cost, I hope Nicklaus takes this well or all hope is lost, and I will lose a very dear sister.
