Elena spent all morning thinking of the Originals… mostly Elijah. Stefan called and asked her over and he was good at telling what she was thinking so she tried to put him out of her mind. She drove over and Damon let her in. She realized it might be harder than she thought to get him out of her mind because Rose the vampire lady was there. Maybe this was a good thing… she might have important info about the Originals.
Turns out Rose knew a few things. Someone named Klaus."Okay… so who is he?" she asked. "One of the originals" Damon said. "So he is Elijah's brother" she said trying not to sound so sad saying his name. She didn't know why, but she was actually sad he was dead. "Compared to Klaus… Elijah is a baby kitten" this comment came from Rose. Her eyes widened, she had seen just what Elijah was capable of, but he did find it in his heart to forgive Rose so she could see how he could be viewed as soft.
Elena continued to ask questions the most important "is he after me." Between the three it was hard to tell which answer she should believe. She finally gave herself an answer… maybe. As they all continued to try to explain to something Stefan said made her clench. He mentioned Elijah's death. She needed to find a way to get out, but not have Stefan go with her. "I'm going to go to school" she said. Stefan of course started to tag along. She turned him done in a nice way that seemed innocent.
She wasn't going to school though. Instead she needed answers and she knew where to get them. Katherine. She called up Caroline once she was out of sight of the Salvatore house. "I need your help she said" Caroline being the awesome friend she is agreed to help her sneak to help Katherine. Caroline moved the rock and left. Elena knew better then to think that Stefan would not come to check on her so Caroline was going to stall for her.
Elena waited at the entrance for Katherine to shuffle her to the entrance. Once she was there Caroline left. Elena was smart so she had brought bribes. Clothes, a family history book, and most importantly blood. Katherine opened up easily after. She had been disowned because she had a baby out of wedlock. She turned English and had captured Klaus's eye. She claimed to love him until she found out he was a vampire that wanted to kill here to break a curse.
She went on the run and Trevor helped hide her. Apparently he was in love with her. Elena mentally rolled her eyes… wasn't everyone? Before Elena let her continue she had to know why a Patrova doppelganger was needed to break this curse. It was because it was bound by it. Katherine continued, Rose was the one who he sent her too. Katherine admitted to Elena that she had also stolen the moonstone from Klaus.
Elena realized that Rose should have taken her to Klaus herself, but wondered if she did. "Rose didn't take you to Klaus did she?" Katherine half smiled and shook her head, "I tried to kill myself, but Rose fed me her blood, I knew what the blood could do so I hung myself" Elena looked shocked "You turned yourself into a vampire." Katherine nodded… "Then I drank the blood of the old lady who was keeping the vampires out."
Elena finally asked how the moonstone curse could be broken. Turns out Katherine had a plan. Caroline=Vampire Bonnie=Witch Tyler=Wolf and of course herself. She shook her head in disgust. This was when Stefan swooped in and began to scold her about her visit. When Katherine heard Stefan's voice she decided to add about how Klaus killed her entire family. Elena panicked as Katherine continued to tell them how safe she will be while Elena would not. They both knew that Katherine might be right.
Stefan walked her home and Elena snapped. She was so afraid to lose her friends, all the people she loved. She knew it was all her fault. Stefan held her trying to help. Stefan kissed Elena goodnight and watched her go into her house then left.
