So the rumors are true, the doppelganger is real and she's in Mystic Falls.

Katherine sits in her car, thinking to herself.

She's the key to my freedom, but first I need to kidnap her. Which could be either extremely easy or a pain in the ass. She seems to have a tight group of friends, which could be a problem.

I guess I'll have to watch her a little longer before I make any final decision.

I wonder if the shops here are any good, I could go shopping and come back here later, then follow her home.

Sounds good to me.

Katherine drives off.

Katherine takes a sip of her coffee and looks around, watching people go about their day, and constantly checking her watch.

"Elena?" She hears a familiar voice and looks up to find Stefan Salvatore.

Katherine stares at him speechlessly, his lips are moving but she can't concentrate on what he's saying.

Stefan is here, and he knows Elena? Fuck.

"Sorry, what?" Katherine croaks

"I said I thought you were at school today, what are you doing here?" He asks with a polite smile.

"I felt sick." Katherine lies and they stare at each other awkwardly.

"I hope you feel better soon, I can't stay though, sorry. Damon's being a pain in the ass, but I'll pick you up tomorrow night, I want to show you something." He smiles and takes Katherine's hand.

"Ok, I'll see you then." Says Katherine forcing a smile of her own and Stefan leaves.

Damon is here too? This changes everything.

~The Following Night~

Katherine has been waiting in her car outside Elena's house for hours now, waiting for Stefan to show up. A car pulls up behind her and she looks through the mirror to see Stefan stepping out and walking to Elena's front door. Katherine watches them and listens in closely.

Elena answers the door and gives Stefan a kiss.

So they're together.

Jealousy burns inside Katherine, she always had a soft spot for Stefan.

I'll just have to split them up.

Stefan and Elena leave in Stefan's car and after a while of waiting Katherine heads to Elena's door and knocks then she moves out of the way quickly.

Jenna answers and when she sees no one is there, she comes out to look.

Suddenly Katherine grabs her and forces her to look her in the eye.

"Be quiet, just be a good aunt and invite your dear niece into your home." Katherine compels her.

"Come in." Says Jenna and Katherine struts in, pulling Jenna with her.

"Now forget you saw me and go do whatever you were doing before I came." Jenna nods her head and walks away, then Katherine zooms upstairs to Elena's room.

Katherine takes her sweet time looking around, looking at photos, going through Elena's things, looking in her closet to get an idea of her taste in clothing. She picks up a shirt off of the floor and brings it to her nose, taking a deep breath to catch Elena's scent in case she ever needs to track her.

She's just a normal teenage girl as far as I can tell.

Katherine makes sure everything is back where she found it, and goes to leave when something catches her eye. A small green book with an E in the bottom corner.

Hmm. E for Elena, this must be her diary. She really is a typical teenage girl. I wonder what juicy gossip I could find in here.

Katherine picks up the book and opens onto a random page that was written recently, then she starts reading.

She finds information about Elena's relationship with Stefan. The drama going on with her best friends, Caroline and Bonnie. Her ex boyfriend Matt, her little brother Jeremy, and of course Damon who is up to no good.

Katherine reads through the diary much longer than she planned, and even goes back to read through older pages.

"I had a lovely time, thank you for taking me out."

Katherine hears along with a pair of footsteps coming up the stairs so she quickly ducks in the bathroom which is joined onto Elena's bedroom.

"I'll see you soon." She hears Stefan's voice and a few moments later he leaves. Katherine lets out a quiet sigh of relief when she sees Elena through the crack of the door, getting changed into her pajamas.

When Elena is changed she starts heading to the bathroom so Katherine makes a quick escape through Jeremy's room and out the window.

After an hour or so of waiting in her car, Katherine zooms into Elena's conveniently open window to find her sound asleep in her bed.

Katherine steps quietly towards Elena and lifts her hand, stroking Elena's cheek lightly with the back of her index finger.

She is cute, I'll give her that. But then again she looks exactly the same as me so of course she is.

Sorry if this part isn't that good or it seemed rushed. I just needed to update this story because I have a lot of (hopefully good) plans for where I can take it. Anyway, please leave a review and give me some contructive criticism or some suggestions for this story :)
