A/N Revamped (vamped... get it. Oh, I crack myself up)
Genevieve's POV
I hear voices around me that I know belong to my sisters, Scarlett and Vali.
"Guys. Shut up!" I say and it goes quiet.
"She's up," Scarlett says, "Hand me a blood bag."
"What the hell are you two talking about?" I groan, but feel my hunger spike on the word 'blood'.
"Open your eyes and look where you are," Scarlett commands.
I grumble, but open my eyes anyway.
'I'm in coffin. Why am I in a coffin?'
I look over to see Scarlett smiling and holding up a blood bag along with a dagger.
"What the hell?! What's with the dagger?" I ask, jumping out of the coffin.
"Ahh, yes. See... It seems, someone daggered you..." Scarlett says, handing me the blood bag. I look at it and quickly rip it open with my vampire teeth and gulp it down.
"Considering Scarlett is the Hybrid and can't be daggered, I'd go with Scarlett," Vali says and Scarlett glares at her.
"We're vampires?! Like the Originals?!" I ask happily, while I hold up my empty blood bag.
Penelope's POV
"Like the Originals?!" I hear Genevieve ask.
"Genevieve! Shut the hell up!" I scream.
"Here," Scarlett says.
I smell something delicious and it makes my gums hurt.
"What's that smell?" I ask and open my eyes.
I'm in a coffin. In a frilly dress. What?
"What the hell am I doing in a coffin? And what's with this dress?"
"We're vampires. Well, I'm a hybrid, you guys are just vampires," Scarlett says passing me a blood bag.
This is strange, but I quickly bite into it. I groan at the taste of it. Once it's drained I reach for another one.
Scarlett's POV
I hand Genevieve her third blood bag as Penelope jumps out of her coffin and grabs a second blood bag from Vali. While they drink the rest of the blood bags, I run upstairs to find my phone.
"There you are, love," I say, picking my phone up from the dresser.
It looks like my phone, but I don't let that fool me. My background is no longer the Originals. The only reason it wouldn't be is if... No. I check my contacts and see no one familiar. Until I reach E, that is.
Elijah Mikaelson
The only Elijah Mikaelson I know is in The Vampire Diaries...
"Oh my gosh! Vampire Diaries!" I say to myself and feel a rush of power. I know everything that will happen and I can change whatever I want.
I smirk and quickly rush back downstairs.
They are now in the living room lounging on couches.
"Okay, so. Not to alarm anyone, but I'm pretty sure we're in Vampire Diaries," I say with a shrug.
All eyes snap to me, but they look like they believe me.
"This. Is. Awesome," Penelope says, doing a little dance.
"Why'd you undagger her?" Genevieve asks.
Penelope stops her dancing and glares at Genevieve. She rushes at her and throws her into a wall.
"Wait a second," Penelope says, "Who daggered us?"
"We don't know. You were both like this when we woke up, but it was probably me," I say and Penelope glares at me.
She runs at me, but I pin her to the wall. I vamp-out causing her eyes to widen.
"What part of 'hybrid', don't you understand?" I ask, English accent once again arising, "I'm not sure if we're immortal or not, but that doesn't stop me from putting that dagger right back in you."
She nods and I release her. She falls to the floor, rubbing her neck.
"I'm not sure if your anger has increased because you're a vampire, or if you've always been so hot-headed," Genevieve says and I chuckle.
"Back to the problem at hand," I say and sit on a couch.
"What state is this?" Vali asks and I shrug.
I open Google Maps and check our location.
"Well, we're still in Georgia like when we left. And there is indeed a Mystic Falls on this map," I say.
"This is so cool," Genevieve says.
"Check for the show," Vali says.
I type in The Vampire Diaries and... Nothing. Anywhere. About anything related to it.
"Nothing," I say and look up at them. "Girls. I think it's time we moved."
We all share a smirk and start laughing.
My phone suddenly starts ringing and I silence them. Elijah Mikaelson is calling me.
"It's Elijah, don't talk," I say and they nod.
"Hello, Elijah," I say after I answer the phone.
"Scarlett, it's lovely to be speaking with you. I have some information that might interest you," he says.
"Well, by all means, Elijah. Continue," I say.
"There is a Donovan doppelgänger currently living in Mystic Falls," he says.
"Oh?" I ask.
"Yes, I know you need him to break the curse. My only wish is that you do not aid Niklaus in his plot to break his curse. Although he knows nothing of your families' true nature, I know you will wish to help him out of sympathy. Your mother did the same to you as our's did to Klaus, but he is not like you. Promise me when you come, you will not help him," he says.
"I will not make a promise I cannot keep. I'm sorry Elijah, but I know what it is like to be kept from your true self. And he has been kept from it for much longer than I have," I say.
"In 1885, we made a deal. I'd help you break your curse and you'd help me break Klaus'. But that has changed. It is no longer my intent to break Klaus'," he says.
"Well, I'm sorry you feel that way," I say. "Until we meet again?" I ask.
"Yes, until we meet again," he says and hangs up. I place my phone in my pocket.
"What the hell was that?" Vali asks.
"Donovan doppelgänger?" Genevieve asks, "Like Matt?"
"I don't know. So, I guess Elijah knows about us," I say, "But no one else does? Well, Ruby does, but I've probably compelled her."
"He doesn't know you broke the hybrid curse either," Vali says, while Genevieve and Penelope ask, "Ruby?"
"Later. Now we must pack," I say and stand.
"Pack what?" Penelope asks.
"Yeah. We have no clothes because you daggered us," Genevieve adds.
"Go look in mine and Vali's rooms. I have to pack the other stuff," I say and start walking away. "Don't kill Ruby," I add as an afterthought.
I walk to the coffin room and pick up the daggers. I walk over to the cabinet and open the doors.
'Wow...'
It is filled with white oak ash. And there's a third dagger. At the bottom of the cabinet is a metal suitcase. I pull it out and open it up. There is enough slots to hold all of the bottles of ash, along with three slots for daggers. I vamp-speed the ash and daggers in the box and close it up. My vampire skills are very handy.
I pick up the case and vamp-speed to my room. Genevieve and Penelope are in there looking through my closet.
"Hurry up! Pick an outfit and get the the shower. We don't have all the time in the world," I order and they grumble.
"You're bossy," Genevieve says.
"Hurry!" I say.
We loaded our important items into a truck. I didn't pack any of our clothes, because I can just buy (compel) new ones when we get a house in Mystic Falls. I did bring the coffins and daggers, but I have a separate, secret truck carrying those to a hidden location in Mystic Falls.
Our decision to move to Mystic Falls is pretty self explanatory; it's where Klaus and the others will be. I have to say, even if it wasn't where they were, I'd still go because of Matt. He's some kind of hybrid-making-doppelgänger, probably like the Petrovas. So, our vampire curse was probably made using the first Matt look-alike, and my hybrid curse had to have been using that one as well.
I had Ruby take a break in her writing and she got something to eat; can't have her dying on me. I escorted her to the kitchen so my family didn't get any funny ideas.
"I think we should kill Katherine. Or at least compel her," I say as I walk Ruby into the kitchen where my sisters are.
"That could change things a lot," Vali says.
"Who cares? She's an annoying little thing," I say and they nod.
"Who's that?" Penelope asks, pointing to Ruby.
"Ruby. Don't kill her," I command.
"Wasn't planning on it," Penelope says, although, she stares at Ruby while she eats.
"I have her writing a book about everything she knows about our family," I whisper and they nod.
"That's a good idea," Genevieve says.
"Then can I kill her?" Penelope asks.
"No. She's my human. Get your own," I say and cross my arms over my chest.
They laugh at me and I send Ruby back to her room to get her things.
"So, at one point they dagger Elijah. And we don't know when. So, we need to get there quickly," I say.
"Do you think we know Katherine?" Genevieve asks.
"I don't know. I guess we'll find out," I say with a shrug.
"Let's go, and fast. You were right. We need to get to Katherine," Vali says and I nod.
"Well then. I'm glad you agree," I say.
We start to load in the car after hooking the moving truck to the back of it.
"Umm, Ruby come here," I say and she quickly skitters over to me.
"Yes, Miss Luxton," she says.
"I need you to stay away from my sisters. They've been daggered for a long time and I don't want them to kill you," I say and she nods.
"Would it be wrong to make her sit in the moving truck?" I ask.
"Not really," Vali says.
"Ruby," I compel, "Go sit in the moving van. Don't touch anything or move. Continue writing the book"
"I'll sit in the van. I won't touch anything or move. I'll continue writing the book," she says and climbs up into the truck.
I smirk at her before pulling the truck closed and locking it.
"Let's do this," I say, handing the keys to Vali after I got in the passenger seat.
We drive for many hours until we reach the Mystic Falls sign. Penelope and Genevieve make 'eep' noises in the back.
"Girls! We are seven-hundred-year-old, original-type vampires. Please start acting like it," I deadpan.
They grumble, while Vali chuckles. They quickly regain composure, however, and act a little older.
"The poor girls have been fifteen and sixteen for seven hundred years," Vali says with a chuckle.
"We need ground rules." I say looking at Vali and Penelope, "Don't tell anyone we're original-like; that should be a surprise. Well... I suppose that was only a ground rule."
"So, we're helping Klaus right?" Penelope asks.
"Of course," Vali and I say at the same time.
"If it is the day I think it is, Katherine should be at the boarding house this morning. We just have to cut her off. It's only five, we should have time," I say.
"Let's get moving then," Vali says and pushes the gas pedal harder.
We arrive at the boarding house and I don't see Katherine anywhere. Until a blur speeds towards the house.
I leap out of the car and grab the blur around the neck. I look at the face and it's Katherine's.
"Who are you?!" she seeths.
"Oh, darling," I start, "is that really anyway to talk to me?"
"It's a bad idea, really," Genevieve says.
"I'll take her back to the tomb," I say, "Don't kill Ruby."
I speed Katherine back to the tomb and shove her in.
She leaps at me and, just to prove my strength, I let her shove her hand into my chest and grab my heart. She tries to pull it out, but it doesn't budge. She looks up at me with wide, scared eyes.
"What are you?" she asks, pulling her hand from my chest.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" I ask before I grab her by the throat and slam her into the wall.
"You will stay in this tomb until I tell you otherwise," I compel.
"I'll stay in the tomb," she says, then shakes her head, "How the hell did you do that? Who are you?"
"Scarlett Luxton. It's a pleasure, I'm sure," I sneer at her.
"Unfortunately, you won't remember any of this," I compel before I speed back to the boarding house.
Vali's POV
We watch Scarlett speed off into the distance before I walk over to the truck. I unlock it and lift it up before trying to get Ruby out. But she won't move.
"Ruby," I say, "Come on."
"Miss Luxton said I was to sit in the truck and write this book," she says not even looking up at me.
I roll my eyes and huff. "Whatever." I close the truck back. "Scarlett can deal with you when she gets back."
I walk over to my sisters, which is weird to say, and gesture towards the boarding house. They nod and we walk to the door. I lift my hand and knock on the door.
After a couple of seconds, the door swings open, revealing Damon. He stares at us in disbelief before a smile crosses his face.
"The Luxtons. How are you still alive?" he asks and ushers us inside.
'O-kay...' I think, confused, and share a look with my sisters.
Scarlett's POV
As I arrive back at the boarding house, my sisters are no where in sight. I narrow my eyes and listen to the inside of the house.
"So, how have you guys been? Where's Scarlett?" I hear Damon Salvatore ask from inside the house.
'They know us?' I question myself before I walk up to the house.
I raise my hand to knock, but decide against it and open the door. I close it behind me and look around.
"Is that her?" I hear Damon ask.
He comes around the corner and stares at me before he smiles.
"Well, hello," he says and laughs.
"Hello, Damon," I say and follow him into the living room.
"You guys have a lot of explaining to do," Damon tells us.
I see Vali, Genevieve, and Penelope, but no Ruby.
"Where's Ruby?" I ask.
"She wouldn't get out. You told her not to move," Vali says.
"Ahh!" I say holding a finger in the air, "You could've dragged her out."
"Who's Ruby?" Damon asks.
"Scarlett's pet," Penelope says.
"I prefer 'loyal servant'," I say.
"Who's this?" Elena asks, coming into the room.
Stefan comes in shortly after and his eyes widen when he sees us.
"The Luxtons," he says, awestruck.
Stefan looks us over before his eyes finally land on me and he smiles. He runs over to me and picks me up in a bone-crushing, if I was a lesser vampire, hug. He spins me around before setting back on my feet.
"How are you alive?" he asks, looking from person to person.
"Truth is; we've been vampires since 1314," Vali says and they gasp.
"Which makes you?" Stefan asks pointing to me.
"About 715," I say.
"I'm 722," Vali says.
"I'm 713," Genevieve says.
"712," Penelope says.
"And how do you know these girls?" Elena asks, staring at me.
"Before Katherine came, they came. Scarlett and I were best friends," Stefan says with a smile.
"Best friends, huh?" Damon asks suggestively and Stefan narrows his eyes at him.
Damon chuckles and holds up his hands in surrender.
"You left before Katherine came," Damon says, "Did you know she was coming?"
"No. That was a happy coincidence," I say.
"Why'd you leave?" Damon asks.
"We-" I start, but am hit with a memory.
Third person POV: Mystic Falls 1864
"The doppelgänger is in the next town. As much as I would like to continue to stay here, it is time to leave," Vali says, her voice thick with an English accent.
"I agree. We have the stone already. And I have a witch, vampire, and werewolf. The full moon is coming soon. I want to be free of this curse," Scarlett says.
"No!" Penelope exclaims, her voice filled with fury.
"Excuse me?" Scarlett asks, raising a brow.
"No, we won't watch you sacrifice him. It would be too painful," Genevieve adds, her voice laced with pain.
"I see," Scarlett says, walking over to a dresser and opening the drawer.
In the drawer lays two daggers and a vial of white oak ash. The daggers are pre-dipped in the ash; she saw this coming. She picks up the daggers, one in each hand, before turning to her sisters. The youngest girls' eyes widen in fear and betrayal.
"I'm truly sorry for this," Scarlett says and rushes at Genevieve. She quickly slams the dagger into her heart.
"NOO!" Penelope screams and tries to run, but Vali blocks her exit. "Let me go!"
Scarlett calmly walks to Penelope before quickly spinning her around and shoving the dagger in her chest. Scarlett sighs and gestures for Vali to pick Penelope up. She walks over to her other sister and picks her up.
They vamp-speed the two girls to a carriage outside of the house. They lift the flap and step into the carriage. The carriage has two coffins inside. The sisters open the coffins and place a sister in each one.
"I hate doing this," Vali says.
"I know, but it is for the best," Scarlett says, "The original Donovan broke their hearts, stringing them both along like that. I won't see them do that again."
The girls hook up their horses before riding into the next town.
Scarlett POV: Present Day
"You..." Damon drawls, waiting for an answer.
I share a look with my sisters, to see the same look on their faces that lies on mine. 'Did the Salvatores and Elena not see us blank out? Maybe we didn't. Maybe it was a quick thing in our heads.'
"We had to leave. It was time to move on," I say and he nods.
"Ahh," Damon says.
"Will you be staying in Mystic Falls?" Stefan asks.
"We will. We were wondering if we could stay with you, until we got our own house," Vali says.
"Of course," Damon says.
"And you three will go to school?" Stefan asks and I groan.
"Well, technically, I'm eighteen," I say, but Vali smirks at me.
"Oh, no. You're definitely going," she says.
I suddenly gasp and they all look at me curiously.
"Ruby!" I exclaim and speed outside.
I throw open the moving truck and Ruby snaps her head up.
"Put that away. Come out of there," I say and she quickly closes the book and puts it away.
She stands up and walks towards me. I hold my hand out for her and she hesitantly takes it. I help her out and drop her hand as soon as her feet hit the floor. I walk towards the house and see the Salvatores and Elena watching me. Elena is clearly shocked.
"Why would you keep her in there?" Elena asks.
"Elena don't," Stefan warns.
"No, it's okay. My sisters, Genevieve and Penelope, aren't good on their self-control lately and I didn't want them to eat her on our journey here. She was safer in there then she was in the car," I explain as I walk past them, Ruby trailing behind me.
"Are you hungry?" I ask Ruby as I enter the kitchen.
"Yes, Miss Luxton," she says.
"Please. Call me Scarlett," I say.
The others follow us into the kitchen. I motion for her to sit down and she looks at me curiously, but sits regardless.
"What would you like?" I ask.
"You're going to make me food?" she asks and I glare at her.
"Well, I was going to. If you keep complaining, I'll make you get it yourself," I snap at her and she is quick to apologize.
"I'm sorry ma'am," she says and shrinks into herself, "I'll just have some eggs."
I roll my eyes, but start to make her food.
"Why are you so mean to her?" Elena asks annoyingly.
"Miss Lu- Scarlett isn't mean. She saved me," Ruby says.
"Saved you? How did she save you?" Elena asks, taking a seat next to Ruby.
"My father was beating me on the night of my fourteenth birthday. I would've died, but Scarlett came along and saved me."
"She did?" Elena says sounding surprised.
"Don't sound so surprised," I say and give Elena a face. "I'm nice when I want to be."
I put Ruby's eggs and a fork on a plate and sit them in front of her.
"Yes. And when do you ever want to be?" Vali asks and I chuckle mockingly.
I quickly pick up one of the knives in the block and chuck it at her. Gasps are heard around the room. It hits her straight in the stomach and she groans.
"I probably deserved that," she says as she pulls it from her stomach.
"I was just thinking," Stefan says, "If we daggered Elijah, shouldn't Katherine be out of the tomb? Or some other terrible outcome?"
'They did dagger Elijah already.'
"Elijah the Original?" I ask, feigning unawareness, and they nod.
"Why would you dagger Elijah?" Vali asks.
"Elena is supposed to be used in a sacrifice to break Klaus' hybrid curse," Damon says.
"And you had to dagger Elijah because..." Genevieve drawls.
"Elijah had a plan but Elena still would've died," Stefan says.
My sisters and I share a chuckle.
"You're fooling yourselves if you really think Elijah being daggered will stop Klaus from killing Elena," I say with a laugh.
"What do you know about Klaus?" Damon asks.
I share a look with my sisters and we smirk.
"Enough," I say.
"So, you know what he looks like?" Stefan asks.
I look down to see Ruby has finished her food.
"I believe something about school was said," I say, ignoring Stefan's question, and walk away from the kitchen, "Come, Ruby."
"Will I be going to school too, Mi- Scarlett?" she asks and I nod.
"Genevieve. Penelope. Are you two ready?" I ask.
"Yes," they say.
"I can give you a ride," Stefan says.
"That won't be necessary. Let's go girls," I say and grab our keys off of the table.
I speed outside and unhook the moving truck. I speed to the driver's seat and open the door.
"Shotgun," I hear Genevieve say as she speeds into the car.
Ruby and Penelope get into the back of the car.
"Is it wise for Penelope to sit by Ruby?" I ask as I start-up the engine.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Penelope asks.
I pull away from the boarding house and check my phone for directions.
"It means, you're crazy," Genevieve says and Penelope slaps her in the head.
"You know what I find funny? Katherine plotted all of that stuff to get out of the tomb and I shoved her right back in," I say and chuckle.
"Can your human tell people about this?" Penelope asks.
"I don't know. Ask her," I say.
"What species is Scarlett?" Penelope asks, but Ruby shakes her head.
"I can't tell you that," she says.
"Try to compel her," Genevieve says.
"What species is Scarlett?" Penelope compels.
"I can't tell you that," Ruby says.
"What species are the Luxtons?" Penelope compels.
"I can't tell you that," she says.
"You've compelled her not to tell anyone. And no one can break your compulsion," Genevieve says with a laugh.
"Well, I'm clever, so it's expected," I say and we laugh.
We arrive at the school and they get out of the car. I quickly lock the doors and they give me a look.
"Scarlett... What are you doing?" Genevieve asks.
"I have business to attend to," I say, "Don't kill Ruby."
I drive away with a smirk as the girls make faces of annoyance.

I think she kind of saw what passed as acceptable on the show and rolled with it when they switched worlds. She'll be pretty manipulative later on as well.
xxxLeanniexxx-
I'm glad you like it. There will probably be more.
