I like this chapter. Then again, I'm mainly saying that because I wrote it... like all the others... lol
~ I was going to put this up last night, but I wanted to read it over and make sure everything went the way I wanted it.

~ Elena gains a memory, there is some Katherine, some Elena/Damon moments, and Klaus sees that Damon found them... again.

whyestabella: I don't excatly know where it is going, but by the end of the story (which I have no idea when it's coming) :) Elena will have all of her memories, so she would remeber being a doppleganger. When I write the story it's more 'go with the flow' because I just write the chapters as it pops in my head.

ENJOY!

~Elena~

Elena stopped after running after the now werewolf that Klaus attempted to turn. She couldn't find it, so she tried to listen. A figure lunged at her from behind, knocking her to the ground. Somehow, Elena managed to roll onto her back. The wolf she was chasing was on top of her, trying to bite her. Elena managed to kick it off before standing on her feet. It lunged at her again and she held it away at arm's length. Elena tried to keep it away, even though it kept at her, trying to bite her. She was getting a little weak, just because she was a new vampire. The wolf managed to get its teeth into Elena's skin and she let out a groan before a hand plunged into its back. Elena's head looked up and she saw the person who killed the wolf.

"Damon." She said in a whisper when she saw his blue eyes looking into hers. There was a glimpse of happiness of hope in his eyes.
"Do you remember me?" He asked after dropping the heart on the ground.
"Yeah." Elena said. Damon couldn't help but prepare himself for what Elena might say. That she remembered him from the night she attacked Stefan. She might not have any memories, but then he remembered that Klaus never said his name that night. Only Stefan's. Elena just called Damon by his name, which meant that she regained a memory. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to take you back home and to get you away from Klaus."
"Why? He hasn't harmed me." Damon looked at Elena, hiding emotion from his eyes.
"But he's dangerous Elena."
"So am I, so are you and Stefan." Elena felt a pain in her arm. She looked and shock came over her face. "Oh, no." She whispered when she saw the bite. "I have to go." She started to move in the direction of where Klaus was, but Damon appeared in front of her.
"Where are you going?"
"None of your business." She almost snapped at him. Damon gently grabbed her arm and raised it. Concern, horror, and fear all came across his face.
"You were bitten." He quietly said, slowly taking his eyes from the bite to her eyes. "Do you know what's going to happen?"
"Yeah, I'm going to die if you don't let me go." Damon looked at her with slight confusion. "I need to get back to Klaus. He can cure me."
"How do you know? He lies Elena."
"Come with me if you don't believe me." Elena took her arm from Damon. "I'm going rather you want me to or not." She said, looking straight into his eyes before she started to walk in Klaus's direction. Damon took a deep breath before reluctantly following Elena. He needed to make sure she stays safe.

~At the boarding house~

There was a table outside, under the full moon. Bonnie carefully placed candles evenly in a circle on the top of the table. Jeremy walked up behind Bonnie, carrying some items of Elena's wrapped in a towel.
"Here are some of her things." Jeremy said as he handed the stuff to Bonnie.
"Thanks." She unwrapped the towel revealing the items. There was a black bra, a picture of Elena with Stefan, a couple pieces of her jewelry, and her hairbrush, which still had some of her hair on it. Bonnie placed the picture and the hairbrush next to each other, in the center of the circle. Stefan walked up behind them, hoping that the spell would work. His phone beeped, alerting him that he got a text. Stefan pulled out his phone and saw that he got a text from his brother.
'Found Elena. She's still with Klaus. What's happening to Elena happened to Katherine. I'll let you know more later. ~Damon'
"Elena is still with Klaus." Stefan said as he slipped his phone back into his pocket. "Damon's watching them."
"Hopefully Klaus won't attack him or Elena." Jeremy said as he looked at Stefan. Flames appeared on the top of the candles. Both Stefan and Jeremy looked at Bonnie. She started to murmur the spell, not needing to say it louder than she has to. After a minute the flames on the candles grew and got brighter.
"I don't think it's working." Bonnie quietly said.
"What do you mean?" Jeremy asked as Bonnie opened her eyes and the flames on the candles shortened.
"Usually I'd feel something. Some type of rush or wave of magic, but I got nothing." Bonnie said with a worried glance as she looked at the center of the circle.
"It's got to be the witch that's with him." Stefan said. "Klaus could have had her do a spell that stops other spells from effecting Elena." Stefan suggested. Bonnie turned around and looked at Jeremy with a concerned look on her face. "There's something Damon mentioned in his text." Bonnie looked at Stefan. "He said that the same thing happened to Katherine."
"Do you think it could be a doppelganger thing?" Jeremy asked.
"I don't know, but we should ask Katherine." Stefan said before walking back towards the house.

Jeremy and Bonnie stood there for a moment, thinking about Elena.
"Don't worry Jer," Bonnie said quietly before taking a step closer to him ", we'll get her back."
"I know." He quietly said. "I'm just worried at what Klaus is going to do with her."
"If Damon's with them, he won't let Klaus do anything." Bonnie said, trying to comfort him. She gently put her hand on his arm and rubbed it. "Damon won't let anything happen to Elena."
"Then why didn't he stop it? Why didn't he stop whoever turned her?" Jeremy hugged Bonnie, trying to hold back tears. "Why did this have to happen to her? She never wanted it."
"I know." Bonnie whispered. "But hey," She pulled away and they looked in each other's eyes ", I have faith that Elena will be okay." A small smiled appeared on Jeremy's face.
"I don't know what I would do about this whole situation without you Bonnie." He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"That's what girlfriends are for." She said with a small smile. "Help me clean up?" She asked with hopefulness in her voice. All Jeremy did was gave her a nod before they made their way to the table.

~Katherine~

Katherine had compelled a nice human family to let her stay at their house. She used them to be safe. Klaus wouldn't able to enter without an invitation. Katherine laid next to the teenage boy that lived in the house. Fresh bite marks where on his neck where she had fed from him. She kept him alive though, just for his blood. Katherine was about to get up to take a shower before her phone started to ring. She saw the caller-id and quickly picked it up.

"Miss me already?" She asked playfully, knowing who was on the other end.
"What did you tell Damon?" Stefan asked her.
"Are you jealous that I told him first?" She asked as she got up from the bed. "I told him what he needed to know."
"Which is what exactly?" Stefan asked, slightly irritated.
"What's happening to Elena."
"You know what's wrong?"
"I know everything Stefan. If you want to know I'd be more than happy to pay you a visit in Mystic Falls now that Elena's not there to interrupt us."
"I don't want to play your games Katherine. Come back to Mystic Falls to help us understand what's happening to Elena or don't come back at all." Stefan said before hanging up on Katherine. Her lips formed a playful smirk. She was going to go to Mystic Falls to tell them about Elena and what's happening to her, but she also had a chance to make Stefan hers again. That was something she wasn't about to pass up.
'I'll be there tomorrow morning.' Katherine quickly texted Stefan before setting her phone on top of the closest dresser. She walked into the bathroom and let the water run for a shower before thinking about what she could do to get Stefan back.

~Elena ~

Elena walked away from the party, talking to her friend Bonnie.
"I know Bonnie, you're right. You and my mom both are." Elena said in her phone. "I just can't bring myself to tell him. At least not tonight." She said sadly. "I'll call you later."
"Katherine." Elena looked up and saw an older man with slight hopefulness in his eyes.
"No, um, I," She looked behind her, making sure that no one was behind her, "I'm Elena." She said when she turned back to him
"Oh," He said with disappointment, even though he tried to hide it ",you just look… I'm sorry," He slightly shook his head ", you just really remind me of someone. I'm Damon."
"Not to be rude or anything, Damon, but it's kind of creepy that you're out here in the middle of nowhere." Elena said to him.
"You're one to talk. You're out here all by yourself."
"It's Mystic Falls. Nothing bad ever happens here." Neither of them spoke for a couple of seconds before Elena held up her phone. "Got into a fight with my boyfriend."
"About what?" Damon asked. "May I ask." He held up his hands like a defense.
"Life, future, he's got it all mapped out." She said, momentarily looking away from him.
"And you don't want it?" Damon curiously asked.
"I don't know what I want." She honestly said to him.
"Well, that's not true. You want what everybody wants." He said almost quietly, but she could still hear him.
"What, mysterious stranger who has all the answers?" Elena asked with a small smile. Damon let out a small chuckle.
"Well, let's just say I've been around a long time." He said with a slight smile. "I've learned a few things."
"So, Damon, tell me. What is it that I want?" Elena kept her eyes on him as he stepped closer. She didn't back away.
"You want a love that consumes you. You want passion, an adventure, and even a little danger." Damon smirked at the end.
"So, what do you want?" Elena asked after a moment. Damon let out a sigh, not knowing exactly what to say. A car horn beeped and Elena turned around to see her parent's car.
"It's my parents." She said before turning back towards Damon. Damon was within inches of her, looking her straight in the eyes.
"I want you to get everything that you're looking for," Damon said, compelling her ", but right now I want you to forget that this happened. Can't have people knowing that I'm in town yet." A slight smirk appeared. "Goodnight, Elena." He said before speeding away, leaving her standing there as her parent's drove up behind.

Elena hissed for a moment from the pain in her arm. She held her arm up and looked at the bite.
"We have to hurry." She said before looking at Damon.
"Are you sure he's this way?" Damon asked.
"This is the way I came." Elena said before turning her head in the direction they were walking. She let out a breath before continuing. Damon walked behind her. It was an understatement to say he was concerned. The last time he dealt with a werewolf bite with Rose. It wasn't an experience he would never forget. He didn't want the same thing to happen to Elena. He didn't think he would be able to survive without her. Elena said that Klaus could heal her. Damon was skeptical about it, but if there was a chance that it was true, he would take it.

Klaus finally came into Elena's view. He was sitting on a log with a bottle of bear in his hand as he stared at the ground. It took a second before he raised his head and say Elena and Damon standing before him.
"Why are you here?" Klaus asked as he looked at Damon.
"He saved me." Elena said. Klaus momentarily squinted his eyes at Damon before looking to Elena. "I was fighting the hybrid that ran away. Damon killed it, but not after it managed this." Elena held out her arm, showing Klaus the bite. His eyes went a little wide before standing up with the bottle in his hand.
"That looks bad." Klaus said as he looked at it.
"Can you heal it?" Elena asked.
"Of course." He said to her before biting into his free hand. Blood flowed out as he moved the bottle under his hand. The blood dripped right into the bottle as he squeezed his fist. He let the last drops go into the bottle before handing it to Elena.
"So what happened?" She asked as she took the bottle.
"They went rabid." Klaus said before looking around at the dead bodies lying on the ground. Damon just stood there, listening with slight curiosity. "Some of them I killed. The others just… bled out. In the end…" Klaus looked at Elena ", they're all dead." Elena took a drink from the bottle and could feel Klaus's blood begin to heal the bite.
"What did you do to them?" Damon finally asked.
"Oh, Damon. I almost forgot you were here." Klaus said as he looked at Damon. "What makes you think that I will tell you anything?"
"Because, every sadistic hybrid needs a ripper." Klaus looked at Damon with curiosity on his face. "Tell me what's going on and I'll join you."
"Really? What makes you think I'll let you join us on our adventure?"
"You'll need extra help since I killed your witch." Damon said, which made a flash of anger appear in Klaus's eyes.
"They were going to be hybrids." Elena said, after finishing the bottle. "Apparently they all died instead." Klaus glanced at Elena before looking back at Damon. Damon was looking at Elena before his eyes drifted to her arm and he saw no bite.
"You're blood is the cure." Damon said before looking at Klaus.
"Gotta love mother nature." He said with a smirk. "Come on, the three of us are leaving." Klaus turned his back from Elena and Damon before walking away. Elena stood with Damon for a moment before following Klaus. Damon reluctantly started to follow both of them. He would be going with Klaus just so he could make sure Elena stays safe.

~ What do you think of the possiblity of Katherine and Stefan getting together later in the story? There will still be the Damon/Elena/Klaus triangle... which we will see more of within the next 3 chapters or so.
~ The next chapter will kind of be based from 3.03 (The End of the Affair). Obviously Stefan isn't with Klaus. It's Damon and Elena.

~ Just to clear up somethings that might seem confusing:
- Damon was never bitten by Tyler.
- John traded his life for Elena's.
- After the sacrifice, Klaus did dagger Elijah.
- Katherine got out of Alaric's apartment and ended up running away.
~ The story is kind of like an alternative season 3, with Elena being a vampire and the doppelganger amnesia thing.

R&R 'till the next update
