"His name is Elijah, he's another Original." Katherine explains in the car.
"I told you they would come for Elena." She snaps at Damon and he scowls.
"Shut up. You could've told us about your little buddies hiding away." Damon snaps back, raising his tone.
"I had no idea they were here and you know that. Be glad she's still here, if she got into the hands of Klaus there would be no way of getting her back." Katherine shouts and the car goes silent.
"Hold on, you said another Original, how many are there?" Elena asks and she turns to face Katherine.
"There's a whole family of them. I don't know how many exactly." Katherine replies, calming her tone down.
"Now that Elijah knows about you, Klaus definitely does so if you don't get brought to him he will come to you." Katherine adds.
"Which means you're now useless to us, so we can kill you." Damon chirps.
"You're not going to kill her." Says Stefan and for the rest of the journey everything is relatively quiet.
"Thank you for saving me." Elena says to Stefan after he drops her home.
"Thank Bonnie, she did the locater spell." He says and sort of smiles but Elena can tell he's exhausted.
"I will. You should go, get some rest." Elena says and gives him a hug.
"Call me tomorrow." He says and leaves.
Elena walks in and she's greeted by Jeremy, who is happy to see her alive and safe.
After giving her brother a hug, Elena goes upstairs and she doesn't bother showering like she normally does before bed, she just crawls in and curls in a ball, and she's fast asleep in seconds.

Elena laughs as Katherine cracks another joke as they walk hand in hand through the town of Mystic Falls.
"It's a beautiful night." Katherine sighs and they stop and sit at a bench.
"Yeah." Elena says, admiring the town's Christmas lights and the light snow falling.
Katherine stares at Elena and her lips curl into a smile as she thinks about how lucky she is to have Elena when she notices her shivering a little and hunching over.
"Here." Says Katherine, pulling off her leather jacket and offering it to Elena.
"Oh, no, I couldn't." Says Elena
"Just take it. I'm a vampire, I don't get cold." Katherine says, wrapping it around Elena's shoulders.
Elena feels herself warming up.
"We should go home and have a hot chocolate." Says Elena.
"Sounds like fun." Says Katherine and they both head back to Elena's place.
Katherine waits on the sofa for Elena and she comes in with hot chocolate and marshmallows on top.
They snuggle next to each other in silence while drinking it.
Katherine places hers down on the coffee table in front of her and quickly leans towards Elena and kisses her.
Elena spills some of her hot chocolate onto her neck at the surprise of Katherine kissing her.
"Katherine!" She gasps and Katherine pulls away.
"Allow me." She says with a smirk and leans down to slowly lick the hot chocolate from Elena's neck.
Elena giggles at the feeling of Katherine's tongue brushing against her skin, and she fidgets slightly as it tickles her.
Elena moves to place her mug on the table then she kisses Katherine again, slow and passionate, until Katherine lies her down on the sofa, laying on top of her, not breaking the kiss.
Elena giggles and squirms as she feels Katherine's hands rake over her body and Katherine prods Elena's ribs where she knows she's ticklish and Elena laughs harder.
"You know I hate it when you do that." Elena groans and Katherine just kisses her, feeling Elena's legs wrap around her hips.
"But you love it when I do this." Katherine whispers, gently sucking on Elena's ear lobe and Elena takes a sharp breath.
"More." She whispers and she feels Katherine move down to her neck, lightly biting her with blunt teeth while her hands keep busy under Elena's shirt.
Elena closes her eyes and just feels everything Katherine is doing to her

Suddenly, she wakes up, back into reality.
She's sweating and her room is extremely hot.
Elena kicks her covers off and gets up to open the window for some fresh air. She feels better as the cold air hits her skin, then she sits back on her bed to think.
What was that dream?
I was with Katherine doing... things.
I don't even feel that way towards her...
Elena lets out a long sigh and she sits by the window with her diary.
Dear Diary,
I had another dream about Katherine, but this time it was different. There was no forest or rain. We were walking together in the town where all the shops are, holding hands and laughing.
We sat together on a bench and she let me have her jacket because I was cold, then we went back to my house. We had hot chocolate but things started to get weirder. Katherine kissed me, but it turned into much more than just a kiss.
I don't know what to think. Why did I have this dream? It makes no sense. I don't feel that way for her, although a part of me seems to think that's not true.
Elena decides to get back into bed and she shuts her diary.
After she uses the bathroom, she climbs back into bed and curls up, falling fast asleep.
When Elena wakes up, she has breakfast, a shower, then she gets dressed.
She's about to leave her room when something catches her eye. It's the Petrova book.
Shit, I forgot to give the book to Katherine.
Elena picks it up and shoves it in her bag, then she leaves her house and jumps in the car.
Katherine mentioned she had an apartment downtown, I wonder if I can find it.
Elena drives to the town centre.
Katherine is bound to live near all the shops.
Elena hopes she does, anyway. She steps out of the car and looks around
Where to now?
"Hey, Elena!" She hears a cheerful voice call her name, she turns around to see Caroline with a few of her friends.
They chat for a bit when suddenly Elena feels like someone is staring at her, she looks over Caroline's shoulder and sees Katherine standing still, her eyes glued to Elena.
She nods her head, gesturing for Elena to come over, then she turns and walks away.
"I'm sorry, Caroline, but I really have to go!" Says Elena, cutting Caroline off mid sentence, then she barges passed her.
Elena ducks in and out of the crowd in a rush, pushing people out of the way until she is where Katherine was before.
Where did she go? I swear she was around here.
Elena spots an empty looking narrow street and she heads towards it, away from the crowd.
"Looking for me?" She hears a familiar voice and she turns around.
"Yeah, I am." Elena says with a warm smile "Do you have somewhere we can talk alone?"
"Sure, follow me." Says Katherine, forcing a smile back, then she walks away until they reach a small, cosy looking Bed & Breakfast.
"I have a room here, it's this way." Says Katherine, going up some stairs.
No one else seems to be around.
Katherine unlocks the door and she steps in with Elena following closely behind.
It's a small place, it's cute with lot's of pinks, whites, and reds. There is not much furniture except quite a big wardrobe, a large bed and a sort of living area with a crappy TV, then a door which leads to the bathroom.
"I didn't really imagine it like this." Elena mumbles.
"Imagine what?" Katherine asks, placing her handbag down and sitting on a small sofa.
"I just didn't really think this was your style." Elena says gesturing at all of the girly girl decorations and furnishings.
"This is just my room until I find a better place. I got it last minute." Katherine explains "Now, what did you want to talk about?"
Katherine pats the spot next to her and Elena sits down, pulling up her bag.
"While I was in that house, I managed to look around a bit, and I found this book." Elena pulls the book from her bag and Katherine stares.
"It has a drawing in it, with a girl that looks just like, well, us. I thought it might be you." Elena hands the book to Katherine and she opens it up.
"Yes, this is my family history." Katherine says softly "Our family history" She then corrects herself.
Katherine reads through some random pages and Elena watches her expression.
Clearly her family meant a lot to her. Damon and Stefan were wrong about her.
Eventually Katherine turns a page to find the drawing Elena was talking about, and she gently lifts it up, her hands shaking slightly.
Memories of Katherine's childhood flood into her mind. The happy times she had with her father, mother, and sister. Before everything bad happened.
Katherine can't help herself now, and tears roll down her cheeks and the longer she stares at the picture, more memories are revealed.
"Katherine, are you all right?" Elena's voice pulls her back to reality.
"Yeah, I just haven't seen them since I left for England." Katherine clears her throat and shuts the picture back in the book, then she wipes her tears and stands up.
"Thank you for bringing me this." Katherine says, this time with a genuine smile.
"You're welcome." Says Elena, standing up opposite Katherine.
There's a long pause until Elena speaks.
"We should hang out." She says and Katherine looks up in surprise.
Oh fuck. I probably look so stupid, why did I say that?
"Hang out? With me?" Katherine asks as if she's shocked anyone would want to spend time with her.
"Yeah, come back to my house and we can order some food and watch some films." Elena offers, smiling.
"Ok, yeah. As long as I get to pick what we watch." Says Katherine wearing her smirk.
"Fine, let's go." Elena giggles and she grabs Katherine's wrist, pulling her with her.
