Katherine's P.O.V

Slowly my senses came back to me, I could feel the vehicle gradually becoming motionless. As soon as I heard the car door being opened, I quickly got into the role of being a defenseless unconscious girl. The kidnapper didn't suspect a thing while lifting me up and setting me down on the back seat.

He was showing me off to someone before he could turn back I heard him struggling against the door. I peaked through my lashed and saw Trevor, his mouth was covered with my captor's blood . Once he finished, he let the lifeless body fall to the ground and drove away.

I discreetly double check my machine and then took another strong dose of vervain that I tucked in my undergarment and soon slipped into darkness.

I woke up in a strange place, I was laid on the remnants of what was once a sofa. The mansion was abandoned no doubt. Lifting my head up I tried to search for sign of someone's presence when I heard familiar voices. The echoes were drawing closer so I quickly closed my eyes.

"Why she is not up yet?" I heard my sire's voice as she checked my face. "Must have given her heavy does of morphine." Trevor replied.

I thought they will leave me alone but then felt hard slap on my face that forced my eyes open. "There you are." I saw Rose's face in front of me as she stared at me with curiosity.

I prayed that recording device was enough to fool them with my human heartbeat because if they found out that the girl in front is Katrina, they will kill me with an blink of an eye.

" God! You really do look like her!" her voice was filled with wonder.

From corner of my eye I saw veins erupting around Trevor's eyes. "Good I can't wait to drink from her!"

I flinched but to my relief Rose blocked his attack. "Behave Trevor!" she warned him. "We need her alive for deal."

Trevor seemed to be fighting an inner battle but finally he relented. They both left me with an warning to not try to run away and went out leaving me behind.

Few minutes later my arm touched a crumbled note laying on couch. I'm certain this was not there before. I looked around at the empty room and unfolded it. "We are here." It read and I'm glad that they didn't abandon me.

Stefan's P.O.V

Lee and Lexi were waiting for us when we reached there.

Damon, Enzo and Sheila all followed me out of the car as we walked towards where Lexi was standing. "Is he here yet?" I asked them and Lee shook his head. "No, only Rose and Trevor are with Katherine."

I nodded my head and stared at Damon and Enzo. "You guys take Sheila with you and secure this area."

Damon tapped my shoulder in assurance. "Don't worry Steff we will be back before the fun began."

With that they left and I glanced at Lexi. "Ready to meet your friends?"

She squared her shoulders and started walking ahead. "Let's do this thing!" Lee smiled at her spirit as we followed her.

She knocked on the front door and few seconds later it open with Rose standing beside. It's a strange seeing her alive after all these years. It's the same feeling whenever I see someone alive from my past who's no longer with us.

She was surprised to see Lexi but thank God didn't appear to be hostile at her sudden appearance.

"Lexi? What are you doing here?" she asked, her eyes darting from one face to the other, shock evident on her face. "How did you find me?"

Lexi smiled and we stepped inside. "Look Rose I know you and Trevor are here and I know your reasons but we need to talk first and it's urgent, you need to listen to me now!"

She was alarmed but without any protest she led us inside to the hall. "Thanks Rose now take us to Trevor "

She was probably debating in her mind but I guess she trusted Lexi enough that she start climbing up the stairs gesturing for us to follow.

Upon reaching a certain room we found Katherine, sitting quietly on couch while an agitated looking guy was staring at us. "Lexi? YYou'rehere? Rose what's going on?"

He looked from one girl to another. Lexi glance at me and I nodded my head. "Listen guys I know why you are here and please believe me what I am going to tell you."

Trevor looked hesitant but Rose looked intrigued. "Lexi you know I trust you but there is something we need to do today to guarantee our freedom..." I shook my head and stepped forward. "If you proceed it will only guarantee his death." I pointed toward Trevor who looked on verge of snapping.

He glowered at me feeling threatened. "What do you mean?"

Lexi stepped in between us and put a hand on Trevor's shoulder. "Trevor please listen to me I have something that can save you both but only if you trust me."

Rose and Trevor both looked at each other like communicating silently. "Okay we are listening."

Lee took two rings out of his hands and showed them. "These are special daylight ring with cloaking spell to hide you both from your enemies. If you listen to Lexi, then these are yours to keep."

They both looked at Lee in disbelief . After few seconds Rose asked. "What do you want from us?"

Lexi and I stared at each other in relief and then she smiled at Rose.

"You are going to introduce us to an original and then leave us to deal with him."

As expected they both gasped in shock, it would have been hysterical to see Rose's bulged eyes, if the circumstances were different.

"What!"

Lexi gave me a quick nod and with sigh I stepped closer to both stunned friend's. "Look what I am going to say is truth and only truth and if you both want to make it out alive from here then please trust us and these rings will be yours forever."

Rose seemed to contemplate but Trevor still seemed hesitant even when I can feel they both trust me.

"How can we trust that these rings will work?"

Before anyone can answer we heard a voice from behind. "Are you doubting a Bennett witch's power?" Sheila asked them while my brother and Enzo trailed behind her.

"I can assure you these rings will protect you from both Sun and your enemies, providedyou agree to trust us today."

They were speechless and Damon smirked at them. "You can trust her she is head of Bennett clanafter all." He winked at Rose who looked even more surprise at the actions.

"Lexi who are these people and why they want to help us?"

Before she can reply her it was Damon who told her. "We are your friends Rose,we wantyou to be safe and most importantly, alive."

He held out his hand for her. "Can you believe us?"

I knew she is meeting Damon for first time but I guess she could sense his words were genuine. She held out her hand out in response and nodded.

Damon's smirked at me and wriggle his eyebrows in triumph. "Now that's settled, let's get the games being."

Elijah's P.O.V

The mansion was situated in the middle of no where. It's evident that none had lived here in a long time.

Although I could sense someone residing inside at the moment.

I knocked on the door it took only seconds to open it. "Hello Elijah." Rosemary greets me without making eye contact.

I smiled and stepped inside. "Rosemary it's been a while, although I am curious why you called me here?"

She shivered but then asked me to follow her upstairs.

The moment I stepped inside I saw a face I never thought to see again in my existence. "Impossible."

In flash I was In front of her to see her up close. "This is new doppelganger Elijah we wantoffer her to you, in exchange of Trevor and my freedom." I heard Rose's voice from behind me.

I turned around to face Rose while shaking my head at her idiocy. "You really think I can be fooled?"

I dragged the girl in question in front of me and asked Rosemary. "Where is Trevor? Rosemary it's high time I punish these two for their betrayal."

Her eyes filled with confusion while I felt someone trembling besides me. "Elijah I don't understand what are you talking about?"

I felt rage building inside me at this ridiculous act.

Before I can say anything a girl with long blonde hair stepped inside with an elder lady and three young men.

"It's okay Rose, we can take it from here." She told Rosemary who looked wearily at her. "But?"

One of boys with black hair flashed in front of her. "Leave Rose, we can take care of things from here, you go, Trevor is waiting for you."

She nodded her head and that blonde girl stepped closer to pull her in an embrace. "Take care of yourself Rose."

With that Rosemary left in a flash leaving me with these strangers.

"So I presume by Rosemary's confused eyes that she is unaware that this girl posing as human doppelganger is actually Katrina Petrova?" I asked them while bringing Katrina closer to me.

'Guys!" she pleads with them, as if they can save her from my wrath.

"How did you figured it out?" theguy with green eyes asked me.

I smiled at these ignorant children. "Her petty device though created a heartbeat but her inhuman scent gave her away."

One of the guy looked impressed. "Danm this bloke figure it out in seconds!"

I bowed my head in his appreciation before turning my attention toward Katrina.

"So Katrina what should I do with you?" She whimper and stared at me with wide eyes, fear filling into her dark orbs with every second."Elijah." She trembled as I watched her in amusement.

"Relax Katherine he is not going to do anything to you." I stared at that green eyed man who dare to say that.

"Please tell me why you think that I will do as you say?" I asked him in an indifferent voice but instead of getting intimidated he stepped forward.

"Oh I am sure you are going to do exactly as I say if you want your family back."

In flash I stood In front of him grabbing him by his neck. "You ignorant fool my family is dead! My own brother made sure the job was accomplished." His accomplice tried to came for his aid but he held his hand to stop them. "You need to trust me that I am telling you truth. Klaus lied to you he has your family daggered in coffins which he always keeps close by him even when he is travelling. Surely you knew aboutthis particular habit?

My hold on him slacked because I can sense truth in his words. "Who are you and how do you know about this?"

I can see them relax as he introduced me to everyone. "I am Stefan and this is my brother Damon Salvatore. This is Enzo and these ladies are Sheila Bennett and Lexi, and you already knew Katherine or as you know her Katrina."

I stared at her and she averted her eyes from me. "Great! Now that we are done with introduction tell me what you know."

He mentioned me to take seat, once I was settled he started talking. "Look I know your family is not drowned in ocean and if you want to get them you have to help us first."

For some strange reasons I can trust every word that came out of his mouth. "First tell me what prove you have that he didn't dispose my family." He exchanged look with his brother who nodded his head and turned towards Lexi. "Take Katherine away , we elders need to talk." To my surprise Katherine left with her without any fuss. "Geez she really is scared of you!" Damon smirked at this quite exit before turning to his brother. "They left brother do your truth thing."

Stefan shook his head and sat on opposite couch. "Look what I am about to tell you may sound strange and unbelievable but trust me I am telling truth and only truth."

I stared at him as his words sink in my brain. "Okay Mr Salvatore you can enlighten me with your truth."

With a sigh he began telling his truth and as it unfolded I could say his truth was certainly enlightening.
