~ The End of The Affair part 1.
~ I know it's been a month. I lost track!
~ You can also blame me because I got sidetracked by another story of mine that I started last month (after I updated this story).
~ I was going to have this chapter loosly based from 3.03 (The End of The Affair) but I wanted to update. That means it's going to be split into two or three chapters.

Guest: Klaus making Elena a hybrid never really crossed my mind, but that is a good idea to have. With what I have planned right now, that might not happen... but you never know.

Charlotte Wilks: I will bring Anna back, but since it's a loose following of Season 3 she will more than likely be a ghost. Stefan doesn't like him and Katherine together and it will be a while if they were to actually get together...if they do gettogether.

~ I had originally planned to split this into two, but seeing as there was a month since the last update, I decided to split it into more. That also helps with me getting caught up on my updating schedule that I made for myself.

ENJOY!

~ Klaus and Elena~

~Flashback~
Klaus laid on the bed waiting for Elena to come out of the shower. He wondered when he started feeling something for the doppelganger. Was it her resemblance to Tatia or was it because of the way she treated him? He was pretty sure that she didn't remember what he had done to her aunt. If she did, then there was no way she would treat him the way she has been. Klaus thought about compelling her to be okay with anything she remembers, the good and the bad. He pushed that thought down though, not wanting to use compulsion on Elena unless it was necessary. It was the first time he wasn't using compulsion right away. He usually used it to get what he wanted, but not this time. Klaus was starting to feel something for Elena and he wanted it to be real.

Elena walked out of the bathroom wearing white pajama shorts and a pink tank top. Her hair was still wet and was down, framing her face. Klaus looked at her. Even in something as simple as shorts and a tank top, she captured his attention.
"What did he want to talk about?" Elena asked as she stepped up to the bed.
"Damon just wondered why there are only two rooms instead of three." Klaus said as Elena slipped into the bed next to him.
"Was he jealous?" She asked, which took Klaus by slight surprise.
"Why would he be?"
"He just seems like that type of guy."

Elena didn't tell Klaus that she had a memory of Damon saying that he loved her. She wondered if it was still true. She saw the way that Damon looked at her the other night when she had the werewolf bite. There was worry in his eyes, because he thought she was going to die like Rose did. Elena could tell that Damon didn't trust Klaus, but she felt like she could. Klaus hasn't done anything bad to her, that she knows of. He was the one that found her in the woods, made sure she survived the transition, made sure that she was able to walk in the sun, took her shopping, and just didn't do anything bad to her since she turned.

"What are the plans for tomorrow?" Elena asked when she made sure she was comfortable in the bed next to Klaus.
"Well, we are going to visit an old friend of mine that will help with my hybrid problem and maybe we'll go out and have a few drinks."
"I want some cake." Elena said. Klaus gave her a small smile. He found the slight randomness of what she just said amusing.
"We'll get you some cake." He moved onto his side so he was facing Elena. "You should go to sleep. We have a big day ahead of us." Elena gave him a small smile before closing her eyes.

~End of Flashback~

Elena slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was still in the hotel room with Klaus. She moved her head so she was able to get a good look at his face. There was a hint of a small smile on his face that she thought she saw. Elena felt some sort of connection to Klaus, but she didn't know what it was. She didn't know if it was the possibility that he could have been the one that turned her, it could be because of how well he has been taking care of her, or it could be that she was starting to care for the hybrid. Everyone sees him as a sadistic and heartless hybrid that will do anything to get what he wants. In the short time that Elena has known him, after her transition, she sees more than that.

"I can tell you're staring at me love." Klaus said without opening his eyes. Elena slightly smiled.
"So what if I am?" She asked playfully. Klaus opened his eyes and looked at Elena, who had a small smile on her face.

~Damon~

Damon laid on his hotel bed, looking at the ceiling. He was listening in to Elena and Klaus. It pained him to hear how comfortable Elena was with Klaus. Damon had to hide it though. He couldn't let Klaus see how uncomfortable he was with the situation. He had to keep his cool if he would stand a chance of getting Elena back from Klaus.

Damon slowly got out of the bed and went into the bathroom to take a shower. He needed to try and wash away his worry before tackling the day.

~Elena~

Elena was walking away from her parents grave. Fog was consuming the area and a crow kept appearing, making a creepy and uncomfortable atmosphere. She was trying to get away from the creepiness. She stopped and looked at where she once was and swore she saw a person. Elena quickly brushed it off before going in the opposite direction of the fog. Her walk formed into a sprint and she tripped. She tumbled down, but a tree stopped her from falling too far.

Elena quickly stood up from the ground and turned around. She was taken by surprised when she saw someone standing in front of her.
"You ok?" He asked her in a way that made him seem genuinely concerned about her.
"Were you following me?" Elena asked, just starting to calm down from what has happened.
"No, I, uh, I just... I saw you fall." He said, which was partly true.
"Uh-huh," She said, not believing him ", and you just happened to be hanging out in a cemetery."
"I'm visiting. I have family here."
"Oh. Wow." She felt some regret for what she said and how she said it. "Tactless. I'm sorry. It's the fog, It's making me foggy. And then back there," Elena pointed to where she came from ", there was this, this bird, and it was all very Hitchcock for a second. That is the bird movie, right, the Hitchcock?" After a minute of explaining Elena took a deep breath "I'm Elena." She introduced herself with a small smile.
"I'm Stefan." He said with a smile.
"I know. We have History together."
"And English and French." Stefan added for Elena.
"Right." She said with realization. Stefan slowly reached to Elena's hair and pulled out a leaf.
"Thanks." She said and they both smiled at each other.

Elena walked out of the bedroom first wearing a red spaghetti strap tank top and jeans. Her hair was slightly curled. You could still tell the difference between her and Katherine by appearance. She walked into the little kitchen before a voice spoke to her.
"There are some blood bags in the freezer." She turned around to see Damon looking at her. He was hiding the sadness in his eyes.
"I guess I know what I'm having for breakfast then." She gave a small smile before opening the freezer. Sure enough there was blood bags inside. One for each of them. "Thanks." Elena said as she pulled out a bag.
"No problem." Damon said. He had to be careful of what he said with Klaus in the other room.

"So, Damon," Klaus said as he came out of the bedroom ", mate I was thinking." 'This can't be good.' Damon thought as Klaus continued to speak. "You should take the day off. The business I need to attend to doesn't need all three of us and seeing as Elena is a new vampire, it's only reasonable that she stays with the more experienced vampire." Klaus said, easily going around the real reasons that he wanted Damon gone. He didn't trust Damon to be around Elena, he didn't Damon at all and he knew that at some point Damon would have contacted the others back in Mystic Falls. Klaus knew that Damon's brother Stefan cared for Elena just as much as Damon did, maybe just a little less considering he hasn't shown up yet. Klaus wanted Stefan by his side more than Damon because he knew the type of ripper he was.

"Whatever you say Klaus." Damon said, almost gritting through his teeth. It was no secret that Klaus and Damon didn't like each other. If it was up to Damon, he would try and do something to hurt Klaus. He couldn't, not with Elena so close to Klaus at the moment. "I'll be a phone call away." he said with a fake smile before he grabbed his leather jacket and reluctantly left the hotel room. Klaus hid a smile of satisfaction before he looked to Elena.
"After you're done with that bag we should head out." Elena just gave a nod and sucked from the blood bag.

~Jeremy~

Jeremy was home alone. He was sitting at his desk drawing when he felt something. He stopped drawing and looked around his room. There was nobody there so he decided to go back to his drawing. Jeremy felt like there was someone there, but he couldn't see them. There was something nagging him about it. All of his sense told him that there was someone there. even though he couldn't see them. After failing to continue drawing he decided to get a glass of water.

As Jeremy walked down the stairs and couldn't shake the feeling that someone was there with him. For some reason, his mind started to drift towards Anna.
'Jeremy.' He thought he heard his name being whispered. Jeremy turned around but saw no one. He let out a sigh before he turned back around. Then he saw her. He couldn't help but take a step back because there was no way that she could be there.
"Anna." He said in a shocked whisper. Anna gave him a small smile.
"Hi Jer." She said to him.
"You can't be here." Jeremy tried to reason out loud. "You died. You..."
"I'm a ghost Jer."
"How?" He asked in disbelief.
"Delayed consequence from when you were brought back to life with the ring." Anna pointed to the ring on Jeremy's finger. His uncle John gave it to him before leaving town after Katherine had cut off his fingers. "I've tried talking to you before, but never could."
"Why now?" He asked with curiosity.
"You were thinking about me."Jeremy couldn't help but blush a little. He never completely got over Anna, but he had dealt with her death. "And I needed to warn you."
"Warn me? About what?"
"About Elena."
"Is she okay?"
"For now. The longer she stays with Klaus the more risky it will to get her back."
"What do you mean?" Jeremy took a step closer to Anna.
"Elena is the last doppelganger." She started to explain. "By being the last doppelganger she has the potential to be a very powerful being."
"How do you know this?"
"You learn things by being on the other side Jer. She will remember everything eventually. It's just a matter of time and effort." After a moment of letting Jeremy absorb the information, Anna decided to speak again. "Don't tell Bonnie I'm here. She'll just send me back and I can help."
"How will I be able to ask for your help?"
"Just think of me." She gave a small smile. "Since you are able to see me now and you were thinking about me it will work. It's a two way street. If we are thinking about each other then you will be able to see and hear me."

Jeremy knew what she said, but his mind went almost blank with the sight of her in front of him. He missed her and never thought he'd see her again. He wanted to hold her hand, but was afraid that she was a ghost that his hand would go through hers. In one second, Anna disappeared. Jeremy stood there, staring at where Anna once was. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

~ I know it's mainly Klaus/Elena/Damon with some Jeremy, but I wanted to update.
~ I was going to have Stefan and Katherine in this chapter, but I split it before that would happen.

~ What do you think Anna meant by the possibility of Elena becoming very powerful? When will Damon say anything about the night Elena was turned? Will Elena say anything to anybody about the memories that she has remembered? Will Stefan 'run into' Klaus and Elena?

~ Slight spoilers for the next chapter: Gloria will meet Elena and reunite with someone from the past (that's not Klaus). Katherine and Stefan reach Chicago. Bonnie and Caroline visit Jeremy.

~ Off the topic of this story: The other story I have started is called 'The Other Hybrid'. It is another story that is along the season 3 timeline and is at the same spot in the season as this story is. I am currently writing the fourth chapter for that, which would be starting 'The End of The Affair' for it. I hope you check out that story along with one of my other current stories called 'Deep Within'which is loosely along the season 2 timeline.

R&R 'till the next update
