Allie's POV:

I decide to try and speak to Elena again today. Its just the way I left things the other day it didn't feel right. But it was quite a shock seeing a picture of a vampire that is my double.

But if she's around Stefan I don't know how I am going to be able to behave.

My dad says that apparently Stefan is not such a bad guy but to me a vampire is a vampire. And a vampire is what turned my mother so she left us.

He gave me the Salvatore address and I decide to try there first and then check her place.

I am running through the woods even though it is thundering on the way to there place when I by accident hit someone. Just my look its Stefan.

"I'm sorry," he says and holds his hand out which I reluctantly take. "Are you okay?"

I sigh but nod. "A bruise or two but that's it."

He looks around before speaking to me again.

"Were you on your way to my house?" He asks me.

"Yeah," I say before patting my leggings down. "Dad said that Elena went round there a lot."

He nods. "Well she's at home right now."

I nod and then go to walk away. But then at the same time as thunder clashes I hear a crunch. I glance at Stefan and see him looking around.

It was not him that made the sound but someone clearly did.

We look around again and see two people stood there with hoodies on. Before I can do anything else Stefan pushes me to the ground as another being stabs a stake through his side.

I gasp. He had just risked his life to protect me.

One of the vamps walks towards me as I try to get to my feet. Then I feel a sharp pain at the side of my head as I am kicked in it.

My vision becomes blurry and then I am kicked it again. It is not long before my world goes black.

I gasp as I wake up and look around. No one is there. Stefan has gone.

I quickly get to my feet and race away. I feel like I need to make sure Stefan is okay. After all he did just save my life. That vampire probably would have killed me if he had not shoved me to the ground.

Even if it was because I am Elena's sister. I am still grateful.

So now I am gonna go to Elena's and try and find out what happened.

I just hope that nothing bad happened to him.

I knock on Elena's door.

When she opens it she looks surprised to see me.

"Allie," she says and opens the door for me to come in which I do. "What are you doing here?"

I freeze as I get in. Damon Salvatore is in the house.

He also looks shocked to see me. Clearly because I am that doppelganger.

"I think Stefan's in trouble," I tell her and her eyes widen.

I go onto explain what happened in the woods.

"Who would have taken him?" Elena asks as she hands me a towel to hold to my bleeding head. "And why?"

"You're not gonna like what I'm thinking," Damon says and I wonder what he means.

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)*Allie Saltzman* (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

I head to the school to meet my dad why Damon and Elena follow a lead.

"Hi dad," I say and he smiles at me. "Whats up?"

"Just finishing up," he tells me before noticing my pained look. "What happened?"

I don't answer as I wait for him to finish his work. I keep glancing at my phone waiting for Elena to contact me. I asked her to let me know of any news.

"What's wrong?" He asks me. "You look like your in pain, you keep checking your phone and you never do not answer my questions. What is wrong?"

"I can't tell you," I say.

He gets to his feet and I follow him. As we head out he remembers he forgot something. When we head back towards his classroom Damon comes out.

I fight the urge to hit him and my father just looks angry.

"Well don't you look alive?" Damon says and then glances at me. "And Elena told me all about you Alana."

"You can't hurt me," Dad points out to him.

I glance down at my dads eternity ring. It means no matter how many times he dies he always comes back.

"Oh I can hurt you all right," Damon contradicts him.

Dad doesn't speak as we continue to walk.

"Mr. Saltzman," Elena says as she steps out of my dads classroom. "We need your help."

I glance between the two and my father. He glances back at me clearly not happy.

Between the three of us we explain what happened. My dad does not look happy as he hears of my interaction with Stefan.

We sit in his classroom.

"Stefan's in the house," Elena finishes her story. "Damon's a vampire. He can't get in. We need you. I would go but-"

"Your life's valuable," Damon points out. "You'rs on the other hand..."

I glare at the vampire. But Elena speaks again.

"Stefan told me about your ring," she says and I find myself once again glancing at the ring on my fathers hand.

I still worry that ring won't be enough one day.

"What about it?" Dad asks.

"Let me recap," Damon begins. "You tried to kill me. I defended myself. You died. Then according to my brother, your ring brought you back to life. Am I uh leaving anything out?"

"Yeah," dad says and I turn away from them all deep in thought. "The part where I try to kill you again. Only this time I don't miss."

"Mr. Saltzman please," Elena says stepping in front of my dad as he gets to his feet. "It's Stefan."

Dad hesitates.

"I'm sorry Elena," he says. "But its not my problem."

"Thats a shame," Damon says. "Because the woman in charge of the crowd can help you find your wife."

I turn and stare at Damon.

"You're lying," dad says.

"Am I?" Damon says walking towards the three of us.

"Why don't you ask her for yourself?" Damon suggests and when dad does not react he speaks again. "Coward. Come on Elena."

I pause before speaking.

"Wait!" I say and the two turn back to me. "Dad Stefan saved my life. Those vampires would have killed me. Don't you owe him enough to help him just this once."

Dad glances at me and nods.

"All right," he says as he plays with his ring. "We'll go."

"We?" Damon and Elena say.

Without answering them my dad looks to me. "Did you happen to bring your bo and vervain arrows and wooden arrows with you?"

I smirk.

"Well I was hoping I would run into some vampires so yes," I tell him and turn to Elena. "Before my dad left me with my aunt he taught me the basics of being a hunter."

They nod and look a little shocked.

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)*Allie Saltzman* (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

After I went home and grabbed my weapons and a few for my dad I return to the school where we can plan how to save Stefan.

Dad shows Damon and Elena his weapons.

"Teacher by day." Damon says when he sees them all. "Vampire hunter by night."

"I've you to thank for that," my father points out.

"What are these?" Elena asks.

"These are tranqulizer darts," I tell them as I glance at what she is looking at. "Filled with vervain."

"Just get me in," Damon tells us. "I'll get Stefan out."

"That's your plan?" Elena asks and I glance at her. "You're just gonna take them all on yourself?"

"Well it'll be a little stealthier than that hopefully," Damon says also looking at the weapons.

Elena grabs a vervain dart.

"Whoa what are you doing?" Dad asks her.

"I'm going with you," she explains.

"No, no, no, no, no," Damon shakes his head at her. "No way."

"You need me," she says and I decide to listen. "I'll get in. You can distract them and I can get Stefan out. Plus if my little sister can go in why can't I?"

"She's trained," Damon points out. "You'll get yourself killed. Your not going in there."

"I'm going," Elena is adamant.

"So when you get me in," Damon says glancing at my dad. "Get out of there as quick as you can. Both of you. I know how to sneak around where they can't hear me. You'll basically both just be in the way."

"Damon nows not the time to be the lone ranger," Elena says and I fight the urge to chuckle.

"Fine Elena you can drive the get away car," Damon tells her. "You're not going in the house."

"You can't stop me," Elena informs him. "Its Stefan were talking about. You don't understand."

"Oh I understand," Damon says and I begin to get annoyed with there bickering. "I understand. He's the reason you live. His love lifts you up where you belong. I get it."

"Can you just not joke around for two seconds?" Elena asks.

"I can't protect you Elena," Damon explains his reasoning. "I don't know how many vampires there are in there," he clicks his fingers. "Thats how long it takes for you to get your head ripped off. I have to be able to get in and out. I can't be distracted with your this will end up a bloodbath that none of us will walk away from. Including Stefan. I know. I get it. I understand."

Dad glances at me before turning to the two.

"If were gonna go, lets go," he points out.

I glance at Elena and give her a small smile. Then I reach for my bow and quiver and place them both on my back.

Then I walk with Damon as we head for the car. I hope everything goes as planned.

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)*Allie Saltzman* (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

I am stood besides my dad as he knocks on Pearls door. I have my jacket on which is baggy enough to hide my weapon that I have never not had since I won it at an archery competition.

A man answers the door. I can tell straight away he is not the owner as he is a vampire.

"Oh good someone's home," dad says as we both pretend to be freezing with me having chattering teeth. "Uh, could I use your phone? My car broke down a few miles up the road. This is the first house my daughter and I saw."

"Lucky you," the man says in a deep but cold voice.

"Yeah lucky us," my dad says as he rubs his hands together. "Its no trouble is it?"

The man does not hesitate.

"Not the slightest," he tells us amd je semds a seductive smile my way.

"Great," my dad says as he takes my elbow and leads me into the house. "Hey man we really appreciate it. It's rough out there."

I glance around and see another vamp. This one looks no more than a teen.

"Billy show our visitors where the phone is in the kitchen," he suggests.

Billy agrees and as we walk by the parlour we see some other vamps. Two are playing pool and the others watch us as we go by.

The man leads us past the stairs and into the kitchen.

As we get into the kitchen we see a woman who is clearly the owner of the house and human in there.

"Hey Miss Gibbons," Billy says when he sees her. "These two want to use your phone."

I see bite marks all over her as she smiles at us. "Oh sure honey its right there."

I stand next to Billy as my dad thanks her and heads towards the phone. Billy shoves me to the floor. I yank my bow from my back and pull out a wooden arrow.

My dad holds him and I shoot him straight through the back and into the heart.

He drops to the floor and my dad turns on the tap to create some noise. It covers our actions from the vamps and there super hearing.

I also turn on a mixer as dad grabs Miss Gibbons.

"What's happening?" The woman asks clearly scared.

"I'm really sorry," my dad says as he pulls her towards the door. "But you're gonna need to invite a friend of mine inside."

I smirk and speak as dad pulls the door open and I see Damon stood outside. "Friend?"

My dad glares at me.

"Oh I'm sorry," miss Gibbons says as she spots Damon. "He's not allowed in the house."

"Yeah we know but you gotta make an exception," dad tries as he grips her elbow.

"Get her out of the house!" Damon orders my dad. "NOW!"

Dad gently pushes her out of the house.

Damon begins to compel her.

"Miss Gibbons tell me the truth," Damon says. "Are you married?"

"No," is the reply.

"Parents, children?" Damon asks next. "Anyone else who lives on this property?"

"No," she says again. "Its just me."

"Good," Damon says.

I gasp as he breaks her neck instantly killing her. Now he is free to come into the house.

Dad does not look happy as he shoves Damon. "You were supposed to compel her."

"It doesn't work that-" Damon begins but I cut him off.

"She was human!" I growl at him getting angry.

"And I'm not!" Damon says trying to get my dad off of him. "So I don't care! Now get out of here, both of you! Get rid of the body!"

He shoves both dad and I out of the building.

I sigh and turn to dad. "If you get rid of the body I'll get back to Elena and tell her we got Damon in."

He nods and then he goes towards Miss Gibbons body as I head towards the car.

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)*Allie Saltzman* (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

I get back to the car and find it empty. Just Elena's bag. No Elena!

I open the door and look for any sign of her. Then I glance around the car.

"Damn it Elena!" I say wondering why she left the car.

I grab her bag and go racing off in search of her. I am going to kill my newly found older sister. I go racing towards the house and catch up with her as she reaches the door.

"Looks like we both inherited the 'I don't know how to do as I am told' Gene," I say as I stop her outside the door and hold something out to her. "If your going in so am I."

I pass her a stake.

she smiles and nods. I load my bow with a vervain arrow and we head into the house.

"Billy, Jacob get back in here." I hear the vampire who answered the door earlier speak.

Elena pats me on the shoulder and points to some stairs not too far from us.

I motion for her to go first while I cover her. Then I go after her and head down the stairs.

There is a steel door thats open. Elena pushes it aside and we continue into the freaky vampire house.

The next door we get to is locked so I use my elbow to break the glass window.

We unlock the door and go through. We stop at a passage where we see a vampire sat listening to music. It is clear he is supposed to be on look out.

Elena holds her stake in one hand and a vervain needle in the other. I prep my bow.

The vampire gets up and he sees us at the corner. I quickly pull Elena aside. I raise my bow and wait. Holding my breath.

As he comes towards us someone suddenly steps out and stabs him with a vervain dart. It's Damon. I release a breath.

"Are you insane?" Damon says to the two of us.

I raise my hands in mock surrender. "Hey I just tagged along."

He glares at me and then her.

We burst into a cellar and see Stefan hanging from the ceiling. There is also another vampire there that has been tied and staked down.

"Elena, Allie," Stefan says when he sees the two of us. "You two shouldn't be here-"

Damon cuts him off. "Elena was supposed to stay in the car where her pain sister was supposed to return to."

He enter the room and stands in front of the other vamp. He then goes to stake him.

"No, no, no, no, no!" Stefan stops him for some reason. "Not him!"

"Whatever," Damon says walking towards his brother. "Let's get you down."

"There's vervain on the ropes!" Stefan points out to him.

"Alana pull that!" Damon says clearly not wanting to get burned.

I do so and he is released.

"All right lets go," Damon tells all three of us. "Clothes on."

"Wait!" Stefan tells him breathing heavily.

"What?" Damon retorts. "Guys come on. We've gotta get out of here!"

He yanks one of the stakes out of the other vamps leg. Damon tries to get us to go but not before I move the other one.

"Can you two get him in the car?" Damon asks as we exit the cellar.

"Yeah," Elena and I agree.

"All right go," Damon orders us.

"What about you?" Elena asks as between us we pull Stefan along.

"You rescue, I'll distract!" He says. "Go."

We do as he says.

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)*Allie Saltzman* (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

We help a very weak and injured Stefan along with us as we try and hurry to get to the car.

"Can you make it?" Elena asks Stefan.

The answer must have been no as he falls to the ground knocking both Elena and I with him. I groan as I catch my elbow on a piece of twig. Elena did the same on a rock and were both bleeding.

"You two ok?" Stefan asks us groaning.

"Yeah," Elena says.

"Come on guys we gotta keep moving," I tell them both as I use my good arm to pull myself to my feet.

I place Stefan's arm around my shoulder and try to keep him upright as Elena does the same on the other side.

By the time we get near the car Stefan is slouching to the side barely able to stand.

"Come on its right over here!" Elena says to him.

We open the car and place him inside. Then we both race around to the other side so we can get in.

We get in and Elena suddenly looks worried.

"Stefan," she says and I lean forward to see her holding a broken key.

Suddenly the car window is smashed and Stefan is dragged out.

I gasp as I grab my bow and jump out of the car. As the vamp stabs Stefan once and then goes to go again I shoot him with a wooden arrow.

I miss his heart because of my aching elbow.

He turns around and zooms at me. He grabs my bad elbow and before I can stop him I hear a snap and white hot pain shoot up my elbow. I bite back a scream.

He goes to feed on me.

"NO!" Elena says before stabbing him with a vervain dart.

He drops me and then falls to the ground himself. Elena comes over to me.

"Allie," she exclaims and then looks at my arm. "Oh god I think he broke your arm."

"Check on Stefan," I manage to groan out knowing that he is the only one who will be able to fight now.

She does so as I fight to try and get up. I glance at the other two and see Elena has pulled the branch out of Stefan but he still looks really weak.

Elena begins calling out to him as he fights to heal properly. With his non human diet he is a lot weaker then most vampires.

I hear Elena's pleas becoming more and more desperate as I finally manage to get to my feet. Holding my injured arm I force my way over to them and Elena braces me as I drop down.

"Stefan you need to get up!" I say as I hear the vampire beginning to stir behind us.

Stefan gazes at the cut on her hand and I know what she is planning even if I don't like it.

She holds her hand to his mouth to try and get him to drink.

"Here," she says to him.

He gets a little on his lip and he wakes up.

He turns to us. "Elena, Alana please run."

"No!" Elena says.

"Please," Stefan begs.

"Stefan please take my wrist," Elena tries again pulling her sleeve down more. "You need blood more blood."

"No Elena, Alana," he says glancing around and not going near her wrist. "Run. Run."

"No," Elena is adamant. "I trust you."

"Stefan," I say trying to help Elena out. "You saved my life this morning. Now I am returning the favor. You need the blood. Drink. You do not need a lot and I cannot protect us right now. Drink."

Elena nods and Stefan finally takes her wrist into his mouth.

Black veins appear under his eyes as he drinks her blood. Elena groans and after taking some he releases her.

We quickly move away as the vampire gets to his feet.

He goes to kill Stefan who stops him. He pins him against a tree as they snarl at each other.

We then watch as he stabs him repeatedly in the heart with the branch.

Elena runs forward. "Stefan!"

She grabs his arm but he frightens her when he turns with his eyes black and veins under them. I come forwards holding my arm to my chest to keep it elevated.

By the time I get over there Stefan had come to his senses.

He drops the stick and we head away.

"Alana," Stefan says and I turn to him. "Thanks for helping."

"Like Is said," I say to him. "I owed you one. But now I have to go to the hospital."

He steps forward and offers his wrist.

"My blood will heal you," he tells me.

I shake my head. "Just because I can tolerate you does not make me like who you are. Your brother still killed my mother and now we are even."

I then head back up to meet my father so he can take me to the hospital.
