The next day wasn't as eventful as the other day for Elena, which she was entirely grateful for because that meant she didn't have to deal with the Salvatore Brothers, her Siblings or even Jenna's and Alaric's messed up relationship. Elena spent the day turning one of Elijah's unused rooms into a makeshift Art Studio. She just hoped that whenever he woke up, he wouldn't be too mad at her for taking over his house.
She barely glanced at her phone whenever it went off, knowing that by the end of the night that the thing would be blown up with missed calls, which would turn into voicemail and unread messages. By the time Elena was finished making her Art Studio, she decided to check her phone. Not wanting to hear any of the voicemail, she deleted them and opened up Caroline's missed texts.
Upon opening the messages, Elena nearly dropped her phone out of shock from what Caroline had texted her. Klaus was in Mystic Falls, Katherine was gone, most likely dead by Klaus' hands or so Caroline and everyone else believed, and were most likely hoping the oldest Doppelganger was dead.
Elena quickly rung Katherine's number, only to get voicemail, and hung up, cursing as she ran out of the Art Studio and into hers, well, Elijah's room, and looked for the map of Mystic Falls that she kept handy in case situations like this appeared. Once she found the map, Elena ran out of the room with the map and into the kitchen. Placing the map on the bench, the short haired Witch grabbed a sharp knife and made a deep cut on her palm.
Curling the bleeding palm into a first to draw more blood onto the map, Elena started chanting the only Spell that could break the Cloaking Spell that Elena placed on Katherine even if she wasn't in the same room as Katherine. This Spell could only work because both girls were Petrova Doppelgangers and they had Mystical Blood Properties running through their veins. Once Elena felt the Cloaking Spell break, she chanted the Locator Spell and watched as her blood moved over the map.
The blood started to divide itself into three as it moved. One was heading to the Boarding House and the other was heading to Alaric's Apartment. The blood trail that was at the Boarding House was the thickest and the one that was at Alaric's Apartment was the thinnest, meaning Emily was at the Boarding House and Katherine was at Alaric's Apartment.
"What are you doing there, Katherine?"Elena wondered out loud and her eyes narrowed."At least I know she's alive."Elena mumbled before she started to concentrate on visualising Katherine in her mind, hoping to get an understanding of why Katherine was at Alaric's Apartment.
Elena gasped slightly when she saw Katherine sitting in a chair with her knees all bloody. Elena's eyes narrowed in confusion when she felt pure fear rolling off of Katherine in waves. Pulling herself out of the Spell, Elena raced around the house, grabbing her keys and a vial of liquefied Vervain before leaving and heading for the apartment building.
When Elena got there, she got there just in time to see Alaric and a Warlock leave the apartment building. As much as Elena was curious as to where they were going, she was more worried about Katherine and waited a few minutes until she was sure they were truly gone, before leaving her car and heading inside, to Alaric's apartment.
Elena opened the door and founding Katherine sitting in the exact same armchair that she had seen in her mind."Elena?"Katherine exclaimed, eyes wide.
"Katherine."Elena said, looking relieved and ran into the room."How the hell did you get taken!?"Elena asked as she came to stand in front of her Ancestor."I Cloaked you."
"Isobel, she betrayed me."Katherine spat, eyes dark."Klaus' Witch was waiting for me at her place."
"Not willingly."Elena said gently and Katherine's eyes widened in realisation.
"Compulsion."Katherine grumbled.
"Speaking of, are you Compelled?"Elena asked, glancing down at Katherine's bloody legs and Katherine gave her a look."Of course you are. I can get rid of the Compulsion on you but it'll hurt."
"Just do it."Katherine said pleadingly.
Elena raised her hand, curling her fingers slightly and winced as Katherine started screaming in agony as the Compulsion started to undo itself on her mind. By the time the Compulsion had been completely undone in Katherine's mind, the older Doppelganger had doubled over, gripping her head in her hands.
Elena lowered her arm to her side and helped Katherine to her feet."Let's get out of here."
"Thank you, Elena, but that's gonna be a bit of a problem."Elena looked at her in confusion."I can't leave the Apartment. Klaus' Warlock has put a Barrier Spell around the Apartment, keeping me locked in."
"Good thing I brought this then."Elena said, pulling the vial of Vervain out of her jacket and handed it to Katherine."At least you'll have some form of protection from Klaus.
"Good, you're lifesaver, Zornitsa."Katherine said gratefully."Now, you need to go."
"But-He'll be back, after he kills Bonnie. Go, now."Katherine cut Elena off and turned her around, forcing her gently to the door.
"Katherine, the first chance you get, when you escape, please call me."Katherine just nodded in agreement. Sighing softly, Elena willingly left the Apartment and returned to Elijah's place and went to bed, ignoring her phone and wondered if she should block her Sister and Brother, and their friends.
The next morning, Elena was not pleased to be woken up by her phone continuously vibrating. Giving a Vampire worthy snarl, Elena grabbed her phone and answered whoever was was waking her up at this hour of the morning. Actually, it was nearly eight, but since she had nowhere to be, she could in a snappy mood all she wanted.
"What!?"Elena snapped harshly."I swear to god, this better be important or I'm gonna give you a damn slow and painful death for waking me up this early!"
"I know you hate me"Elena gave a Werewolf worthy growl at her Sister's voice."but I need you to come to the Lockwood Estate."Emily said lowly as she looked at Elijah, who was watching her with narrowed eyes.
"Fuck you, Emily."Elena spat and would have hanged up the phone if Emily hadn't quickly spoken.
"I undaggered Elijah!"Emily exclaimed and Elena's eyes widened.
"What?"Elena choked out."When? Why? Is he there? I wanna talk to him."Elena demanded.
"You will, when you get to the Lockwood Estate."Emily stated and Elena's eyes darkened.
"Fine."Elena snapped before hanging up on Emily. Quickly, Elena made sure her short hair was straight and she put on a dark blue long sleeve t-shirt, dark grey pants and her black ankle boots before leaving for the Lockwood's.
Elena ran up the stairs of the Lockwood's, and without bothering to knock, Elena opened the door and slammed it shut behind her, causing Emily, who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs in the foyer of the house, to jump in surprise and looked at her with wide eyes.
"Where is he?"Elena asked looking around before glaring at Emily, who put her hands up in defence."I swear if this was some sort of lie so that you and your scooby gang could force me to help you, I'm gonna-Elena."Elena's head snapped up to the stairs to find Elijah standing there, smiling at her.
"Elijah."Elena breathed out, looking at him happily.
Elijah was suddenly in front of her, caressing the side of her cheek and Emily blinked, dumbfounded by his gentleness towards her Sister while she got nothing but harshness from him.
Emily wishing she knew what their relationship was and got her answer when Elijah kissed her sister right on the lips and she returned the gentle and sweet, yet short, kiss.
Pulling away from each other, Elena blushed when she realised that they had just kissed in front of her Sister, who was looking at her as if she had lost her mind, but also realised that said Sister did the same around her with Stefan.
"Don't give me that look, Emily, and while you're at it, keep your mouth shut about this because what goes on between me and Elijah is our business, not yours."Elena snapped when Emily opened her mouth to say something but ending up doing as Elena said, snapping her mouth shut and frowned at them.
Elijah looked at Elena and smiled before he led her to the living room and Emily followed them, glowering at their backs childishly,
"So I assume that the Marin Witches are no longer with us."Elijah stated rather then asked after they sat down, Elijah and Elena sitting next to each other while Emily sat across from them.
"No."Emily said softly and regretfully."I'm sorry."Emily added.
"Luka, who was trying to get you back, was burnt alive by Damon and Katherine killed Mr. Martin because he went after Emily, wanting revenge against the Salvatore Brothers."Elena explained, causing Emily to wince.
"And Katerina?"Elijah asked, looking between them."She would have been released from my Compulsion when I died."He stated knowingly.
"Klaus took her."They said in unison.
"We think that she may be dead."Emily added before Elena could get another word out.
"I doubt that."Elijah retorted and Emily looked at him questionably."Not Klaus' style. Death would be too easy for her after what she dead."
"I don't understand. You say that you want Klaus dead"Emily shook her head slightly."but you still made Katherine pay for betraying him."Emily stated questionably as Elijah took Elena's hand in his and gently rubbed his thumb over her knuckles.
"I have my own reasons for wanting Katerina to pay."Elijah nearly spat out, his eyes dark."There was a time"Elijah's eyes sparkled slightly."I'd have done anything for Klaus."Before he told them, mainly Emily, seeing as how Elena knew the full story, a bit of how he and Klaus met Katherine."Yes. Klaus is my Brother."Elijah said to a shell-shocked Emily.
"I heard that."Emily stated, nearly choking her words out."I'm still processing."She added, spluttering out the words before noticing that Elena seemed calm and realised that she knew."You knew?"
"Uh, duh, this isn't Elijah past but Katherine's as well, remember, she told me the fully story."Elena said, rolling her eyes."At least, her side of the story."She added, glancing up at Elijah."And by the way, Elijah's right, Katherine is still alive. I saw her."Elena said cryptically when Emily and Elijah looked at her questionably.
"I'm a little behind on the times but I believe the term you're searching for is OMG."Elijah said calmly to a still shocked Emily before he raised his cup of tea, that Carol had set out for them before she left, and Elena chuckled at Elijah saying OMG.
