Okay, so, sorry that it took so long to update. Had some work, so .. Anyway, thanks for those two reviews ! I am saying this right now: my character is looking like Taylor Momsen (from The Pretty Reckless (but the personality is mine, so to speak) and there will be many different songs throughout the story that I will use - which will mainly be of The Pretty Reckless (main songs).

Please review!

Disclaimer: I don't and never will own The Vampire Diaries, nor the song, nor Taylor Momsen (xD). On with the story!


TORI'S POV

"Um ... Excuse me, but, who are you ... ?"

She looked .. Shocked? Should I know her? Wait a minute .. Now that I look at her, she seems kinda familiar ..

"You .. You don't know who I am ?" Hmm .. Wait a minute, she's the girl from Vampire Diaries, Elena! What the hell, am I dreaming or something? But, I can't be dreaming .. I remember dying at home while being cuddled into Andy. But I kinda feel like this is really happening, but, how?! I mean, this is just a TV-Show! And now she's looking at me curious and sad. Well, let's play along. If I feel any pain later - I will wake up. If I don't - then I died and this is real.

"Elena .. ?" I asked hesitantly.

"Thank god! I thought you even lost your memory .. Do you remember what happened?" She said while pushing the doctor's button. Lost my memory? Well, that's a pretty good idea - pretend that you lost your memory but not some of the people's names.

"No."

"Okay, then .. What-"

"Ms. Gilbert, I see that you are awake. How are you feeling?" A doctor asked from the doorway, coming into the room. What happened to Elena? She just woke up .. ? And noow, they are looking at me. Wait a minute, does that mean I'm a Gilbert? The hell?

"Um .. Are you asking me?"

"Yes .. Your name is Victoria Gilbert, isn't it?"

"Gilbert?" Okay .. Awkward silence. Maybe I should've just gone with the flow ..

"What's your name?"

"Victoria."

"Last name?"

"I .. Don't know."

"What's the last thing you remember?" Hmm .. If I'm pretending to have lost my memory, then I don't really remember anything, do I?

"I don't know .. Waking up, I guess?"

"And that's it?"

"Yes."

Elena looked shocked, hurt, sad, and I felt a pang in my chest. Why? Why does it hurt me seeing her like that?

"Huh .. Ms. Victoria, we will run some tests tomorrow, when you wake up, to see what's wrong with your memory. For now, you should rest. If anything happens, just press that button, ok?"

"Ok .. And, please, just call me Tori. Victoria sounds ... weird, old, I guess?"

"Ok, Tori. See you tomorrow." He said smiling and walked out.

Well, now it's just Elena and me. If my last name is Gilbert, then that means that we are siblings .. am I younger or older? Hmm..

"So, you really don't remember anything ?"

"No, not really .. Just some names and faces. You're Elena Gilbert, right?"

"Yeah.."

"So, since he called me a Gilbert, too, I guess we're .. Siblings?" I tried asking casually and friendly, while she just smiled.

"Yeah. We're twins. Fraternal twins. But twins, none the less." Twins? Fraternal? There wasn't a twin in the show .. Nor there was another sibling. This just keeps getting more and more confusing by the second ..

"So, what happened to me? Why am I in a hospital?"

"Well, I don't know all the details - even the doctors don't know. But, appareantly, you were brought here by a man, who said you were caught in a car crash. The most confusing part is that you were okay. No scars, no nothing. Perfectly healed, just didn't want to wake up till now."

Wow .. Car crash? Perfectly healed? Weird ..

"Who brought me in?"

"They don't know."

Even more weird ..

"Okay .. I'm tired. I think I should try to sleep. Are you staying?"

"Yeah .. If that's ok with you, of course." She looked scared. Why is she scared? Am I scary? Ah, what the hell - I'll just ask.

"Why are you asking me that .. ? And, why do you look scared?"

She's hesitating in telling me!

"It's just .. For the past couple of months, we weren't really on speaking terms, so .."

She looks sad, afraid, hurt. Again, that pang in my chest! Go away, pain!

"Well .. That's in the past, I guess? Do you mind staying?" Even though I don't really know her, just what I've seen from the show (which isn't much), I really don't want to be alone right now and I feel some kind of pull towards her - maybe it's cause we're 'twins' ?

"No .. I'll stay." She said, holding my hand and starting to get comfortable in the chair.

"Oh, no no no. If you're staying the night here, you have to get in here." I moved a little farther to make space for her and opened the blankets for her to get in.

"Um .. I'll be fine here."

"No, get in here, with me, or go home. Your choice." She immediately looked happy, which, somehow, made me happy, too.

"Okay." She came in, but when she was near me, she hesitated. The hell? I said it was okay, don't hesitate. Since she doesn't seemed to move, I just cuddled myself into her. At that gesture, she just did the same and radiated happiness. Huh ..

"Goodnight, Elena. Sweet dreams."

"Goodnight, Victoria. Hope you'll feel better tomorrow." She whispered.

"Me too.." And, immediately, I fell asleep.


I was seated in front of a table. Across from me was Elena, just with curly hair. Everything looked old-style - like, very old. Very aristocratic, too. She looked at me - lovingly? - and asked, her voice so soft, so beautiful..

"So, Victoria. How are you feeling today?"

"Better, sister. I just hope this sickness won't last long this time."

"I hope so, too. I can't believe that none of the doctors, even here, know what's wrong with you .. I just hope you'll get better."

"Me, too, sister. Me too .. So, I remember you talking about a certain man? Niklaus, was his name?" Wait, did I - she - I - whatever, said Niklaus?

"Oh, yes. You have to meet him and his brother. They are very good people. The brother's name is Elijah. He is nice and very polite, and from what I heard, he always keeps his word. A true gentleman, if you ask me. You two would get along nicely."

"Do any of those two fancy you?"

"Yes, Niklaus."

"Not Elijah?"

"Not really. However, once he saw your picture, I can definetly tell you - he fell in love. Let's just hope that he doesn't change his mind when he meets you." Elena said smiling .. No, not Elena. I don't know who this is.

"Who doesn't change who's mind, Ms. Katerina?" A man - Elijah? - said walking in. Katerina? So that's Katherine? Why am I seeing this?

"You, Elijah. I guess proper introductions are in order. Elijah, this is my twin sister, Victoria Petrova. Victoria, this is Elijah Mikaelson."

He extended his hand, which I - her (I can't do anything but watch) - took his arm and he kissed it.

"Nice to meet you, Victoria."


I opened my eyes. The first thing that I noticed - my hand was daped over Elena's waist, her around me, our heads next to each other and she was still asleep. Huh, heavy sleeper, I guess - or I just woke up early.

Either way, what was with that dream? I kinda had weird dreams a few times in my world, but not with conversations or something .. And was that Katherine? And .. Elijah? Wait a minute, Katerina had a sister? A twin, none the less? And now, I am Elena's - the dopplegangers - twin sister .. Does it mean I am also a doppleganger? No, that shouldn't be possible. What am I even doing here? I should be dead by now ..

So many questions were in my head that I didn't notice Elena looking at me with hope filled eyes.

"Good morning, Tori." She said and tensed, like waiting for something.

"Good morning, Elena. Slept well?" She released a breath and relaxed.

"Yeah, pretty good. How about you?"

"Pretty good, too."

"So, how are you feeling? And .. What were you thinking about? You looked like you were deep in your own head there." She said teasingly and curiously.

"I'm pretty good. And, yeah, I was thinking about everything. I mean, why can't I remember anything besides names/faces?"

"You remember names and faces?"

"Yeah, of some of the people. But I can't remember anything else."

"I see .."

"Good morning, Tori. Elena. How are you feeling today?" Said doctor, walking through the door smiling.

"Pretty good." Both of us answered at the same time and giggled. Huh, I like this ~

"Good. Now, Tori, we will have you run through some tests after breakfeast, ok?"

"Ok, no problem doc."

"I'll be going home for a little while. I'll come back once the tests are done, okay?" Elena asked.

"Sure. Don't take long." She smiled when I said that.

"I won't."

After a few tests (when I went to take them, I noticed that I am still in my own body, not a different one), I was in my bed again. After a few minutes, the doctor, Elena, Jeremy and Jenna came in, and they all looked sad.

"Hey, Tori .. How are you?" Jenna asked.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Aunt Jenna." She seemed confused after I said that.

"Ms. Jenna, as we said, she has memory loss - and she said she remembers faces and names, but not events, places etc." The doctor explained to her.

"Hey, doc, when can I go home?"

"Probably tomorrow, Tori. Also, school starts in two days, correct? I think you'll be better if you are excused for some time." Everyone nodded at that. Screw that, I want to go to school. I won't sit around at home and do nothing.

"Oh, no - I will go to school, if that's okay. I can, however, be excused from school when I'm not feeling well, okay?" They seemed reluctant.

"Um, Tori, I don't think that's a good idea .." Elena started.

"Yeah, you should stay at home for a little while." Jeremy added.

"No, I'll go. If anything goes wrong, I can always come home, y'know." And now, everyone is looking at the doctor.

"Well .. Okay. But if you feel weird, sick etc. - you go home or come to the hospital. Got it?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Good. Tomorrow, you can go home."

"Aah, why not today?"

"We want to keep you here for a little while."

"Fine .."


The next day

I finally came 'home'. It's still a little weird calling this home. When I walked into 'my' room, it was pretty beautiful and a little weird, so to say. The walls were painted in red, black and gold colors. There was some furniture. The bathroom that's connected only to my room (a room with a private bathroom - how cool is that?).

When I walked to the bed, I noticed some books on the table. I quickly stood up and went to get them. A few of them were Diaries - I'll have to read them - and there was also a songbook. Huh, gues she sings, too. I really like to sing. In my universe - world - or, whatever, I sung as much as I could. Before the illness, I sung everyday. When the illness started, I didn't sing anymore - I just couldn't. I would start singing, and after a few seconds of it, I was in a coughing fit. Guess I can do it again here. I just hope that my voice is still good. Let's try it out !

But, what song .. There some of my songs that I created in my world, but they are the old ones - not that good. I'll have to sing one of my newer ones, 'Beggin on your Knees'. I'll also have to write down most of the songs here, so that no matter what, I wouldn't forget them and if I'm gone to my old world or, whatever, someone could still sing them. Well, let's try first then write it down.

"You had it all
The day you told me
[Told me]
you want me
I had it all
But let you fool me
[Fool me]
completely

Yeah, I was so stupid
To give you all my attention
'Cause the way you played me
Exposed your true intention

And One day I'll have you begging on your knees for me
Yeah, one day I'll have you crawling like a centipede
You mess with me!
And mess with her!
So I'll make sure you get what you deserve
Yeah, one day you'll be begging on your knees for me

So watch your back
'Cause you don't know when or where I could-"

"Tori ?"

Huh? I quickly wiped my head around, only to see Elena standing in the doorway.

"Elena?"

"Why did you stop? That was amazing! I didn't know you could sing like that!"

"Oh, um .. You-you didn't?"

"No, I didn't. What song was that? I didn't see it in your songboo-" She stopped halfway, immediately looking scared. Geez, what is with those scared looks she gives me? "I'm very, very sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"Geez, Lena, chill. It's ok. Your my sister, you don't have to apologize for these things - as long as you don't read my diaries, of course! Besides, this is a songbook, where someone - I, for example - write songs in hopes that other people would listen to them." Where did that come from? And did I just call her 'Lena'?

"Oh .. It's just, you didn't let anyone else see it before and you didn't really sing, so .." Ah, finally, that scared look was replaced by a happy one, yes! But, wait .. I didn't sing ?

"I didn't sing?"

"No, you didn't."

"Oh .. Guess we'll have to change that."

"Yeah, I agree. Your voice is beautiful. So, what song was that?" She asked sitting down on my bed and I followed her lead.

"Well, that one, I guess I'll call it 'Beggin on your Knees'. It just came to me, you know?"

She seemed genuinely happy. Good. If I am healthy here, I don't know if I could keep myself from singing, at least from time to time. I lay down on my bed and she did the same.

"Can you sing it to me?" God, her voice is soft. What have I done to her that sometimes, she can look so scared, terrified even, of me?

"No, maybe tomorrow, ok? I feel kinda tired today. I'm thinking of reading my diary to know things better and going to sleep .." Even in my own world, I liked to sometimes write in my diary, but now, I just want to read it to know a little about this world.

"Sure. I'm going downstairs. Night then, Tori."

"Night, twin." And, she looks surprised - which is quickly replaced by a smile! God, what kind of person was I?

"Night." And, she's gone. Good. Now I can read the diaries.


There is nothing really here that stood out, everything is normal. Wait ..

"My parents died a few days ago. I can't believe it. It's all Elena's fault. She just had to go home and call our parents. Not to mention, she dragged me with her, too. That night is the worst night of my life. The car drove off of Wickery Bridge. It's even a miracle that me and Elena survived, but I'd rather be dead than be feeling this. I'll never forgive her for this."

I blamed Elena for the parents death? If I remember correctly, the car drove off of Wickery Bridge - it was no one's fault. If I blamed her, then I guess I was also bad to her. God, I can't believe "I" was so stupid .. But, no matter. I guess I'll change that.

The pages that were left were all about how I 'hated' Elena, felt guilty sometimes, and the last ones that she wanted to kill herself. But I wasn't in the hospital because of that - she wanted to kill herself by taking pills .. Huh. I was really depressed. Everything changes now, I guess. And now a few days left till school, the supernatural will be coming to town. We'll see what happens then. But, for now - I really need to sleep. So, I shut the light off and everything went blank.

"Welcome home, Victoria ..."


ELENA POV

I went downstairs. I still can't believe how Tori's acting. It's like she's a different person! I might not believe it, but I can see it in her eyes - it's like she really loves me. I'll admit, it's been hell these last months - Tori hated me. She blamed me for every thing I did, bullied me, so to speak, or just didn't speak to me. It was hell for me. Of course, I tried to fix it - I wanted my sister back, I missed spending time with her. Before the accident, I resigned myself that we'll never be the same again. When the accident happened, even after all the things she did to me, I still didn't want to lose her. I wanted her to wake up, but dreaded what was to come. When she did wake up, I was scared. Scared of the sarcastic, hurtful remarks I was about to get. But that didn't happen. She lost her memory, sure, but the attitude doesn't change with that. I finally got my sister back!

"Hey, Elena. How's Tori?" Aunt Jenna asked while sipping coffee.

"Good. I still can't believe how she changed."

"Yeah. It's like a different person."

"Yeah .. I really don't want to screw it up. I don't want to wake up tomorrow and find out she's back to her old self .."

"Hey, don't look so sad. It won't happen, don't worry."

"Yeah, I hope your right .. Where's Jeremy?"

"Upstairs. He came home stoned again. God, I don't want him to make a bad influence on Tori, now that she's lost her memory. Weird, huh? Can't remember anything but faces and names."

"Yeah, a little, but things happen, right? I just hope that, even when she remembers, she would be the same like now .."

"She will be, you'll see."


So, that's it. What do you guys think? Please, review!
