Cont from last chapter:
"Tell me more" Elena told Rose.
"I don't know anymore other than what I told you. Your the key and apparently meant to be used as a sacrifice to break the curse. I'm still new at this vampire thing and in all honesty I don't really understand any of this. What I knew of vampires before becoming one is completely different than what I know now. I can't answer any more of your questions right now..."
Elena didn't hear someone else come in behind her.
"Captivity has made her pushy, huh? What do you want to know doppelicious?"
"Why are you running from Elijah?
"I pissed them off, and I'm wanted dead."
"They? What did you do?" Elena asked.
"This the part where you tell her about someone named Katerina.?" Rose asked
"Katherine" Elena stated quietly.
Rose looked at her and nodded. Trevor then continued speaking.
"The first doppleganger. I helped her to escape her fate and now I've been running ever since. I was lucky Elijah didn't just kill me instead of asking me to help Rose here find you."
Elena wanted to know more and was about to ask when she noticed Rose and Trevor looked up suddenly and got very still. Elena half wondered if it was Stefan...but she figured most likely it was this Elijah vampire.
"He's here. I have to get out of here Rose. He wants me dead."
"He compelled us to stay. Look I told you I'd try to talk to him, maybe I can get you out of this."
Rose felt bad for him, she knew what it was like to have a death sentence hanging over her. Hell he was probably right, they were both as good as dead. She was scared, but not as scared as Trevor...after all she should have died 3 years ago, and as much as she wanted to live right now nothing could be as bad as it was when the hellhounds tore into her flesh.
"It won't work Rose."
"He wants her more than he wants us dead."
"No, you give her to him and maybe he will let you live but not me."
"You're scared." Elena stated. They ignored her.
"Stay here with the girl." Rose told Trevor.
Rose made her way to the door as Elijah stepped in.
"Ah, Rose. I assume you have the girl?"
"Of course."
"Where is she?"
"In the study, Trevor's keeping an eye on her. I was wondering if we could talk first." Rose said.
"Talk? What is it that you want to discuss?"
Elijah always stayed calm, but that made him even scarier...however Rose was also good at keeping her composure and never letting fear show on her face or in her voice.
"Freedom. We've done what you asked Elijah...if you were to compel us to forget and let us go it would benefit you as well...we could be of use to you in the future."
"I do have the power to grant you that freedom, but what on earth could you have to offer me?"
"Katerina."
"How do you know of Katerina? You are not supposed to know any of this."
"Curiousity...it was not my intention on hearing you talk of her but I couldn't help myself once I did. I did the research. Look she's still alive, she didn't burn in the church..." Rose trailed off when she noticed Elijah.
Elijah smiled.
"...but you already knew that." Rose stated.
"Yes of course I know...however you are correct. I will let you go, but I expect full cooperation if and when I need your assistance dealing with Katerina."
Rose only nodded her agreement.
"Well I'm glad this discussion is over Rose, now take me to the doppleganger."
End Chapter.
