A/N:
Hey!(: So I noticed some of you who had read the Kidnapping, (The 1st book!) didn't know that I had a sequel. I'm glad some of my Kidnapping followers finally figured out I made a sequel! I'm kind of tempted to post like four more A/N chapters just to get the word out! :P
Haha, anyways, here's the story!(:
Elena's POV
My door swung open a moment later and Kol stepped in.
"Hello, doppelganger." He said bitterly, tapping his ear, showing that it wasn't safe to talk just yet.
"Don't hurt me!" I whimpered, with a nod.
I screamed and once Kol spoke, I stopped screaming and let a huge grin spread across my face.
"It's okay to talk?" I whispered.
"Yes, 'Lena, you're okay." He said softly with a smile.
I smiled back and ran to hug him. "I forgive you for hitting me," I whispered into his chest.
I felt him relax a little and I looked up at him.
"Do you think it'll work? The plan?"
He looked down at me thoughtfully for a moment. "Let's just hope the bitch keeps her end of the deal."
I smirked. "She better or else Klaus'll have her killed,"
He laughed and hugged me again, placing a kiss on the top of my head. I smiled and pulled away as Damon walked into the room.
"Damon!" I said happily as I ran to give him a hug. I hated that they had to hate me.
He smiled a genuine smile and spread his arms wide. I hugged him and smiled.
"I just want to say thank you to you two for being gentle when you were grabbing my arm." I said awkwardly.
Damon walked over to me and lifted up my shirtsleeve. I saw regret and pain flicker in his eyes when he saw the handprint-sized bruise on my arm.
"Here." Kol said, his face vamping out and biting his wrist.
I avoided Damon's gaze as I quickly drank a gulp or two from Kol's arm. Wiping my mouth with the back of my hand, I smiled a little, "Thanks."
"Anytime, kitten." Kol replied, walking out of my room.
"Kol is across the hall from you and I'm next door, okay?" Damon hugged me again quickly and smoothed my hair down
"Okay. I'm going to clean up a little and then probably get some food." I told him softly.
He handed me my bag from behind him, gave me a little smile and walked out.
I sighed and sat on the couch, putting my head in my hands. I couldn't keep playing with their hearts, letting them kiss my forehead, hug me, say sweet lovey-dovey things to me. It was wrong. I shook my head and got up off the comfy couch and went into the bathroom. I washed my face and wiped down my dirty body with a washcloth. I threw my hair into a quick braid and stared at the finished look. My eyes had little bags underneath them; I had a bruise on my neck-staged of course- and a bruise that was peeping out of my olive green shirt's sleeve. I smiled at myself in the mirror and left the room. I quietly made my way to the first floor, where the kitchen was. The kitchen was simple and quaint. I dug through the cupboards and made me a bowl of instant oatmeal. An hour later, full and bored, I went to the second floor where there was a home movie theater thing.
I went inside and shut the door. There was a full array of DVD's on a shelf. I skimmed through them and felt my heart pang when I saw the Notebook, one of Caroline's favorite movies. I kept looking and found a cute movie titled, "The Beauty and the Briefcase." It starred Hillary Duff and it actually looked pretty interesting. Popping it in the player, I picked a seat in the back and watched away.
Kol's POV
I was sitting in my room when I heard a movie start up. I turned my ears towards the second floor, and I heard a faint heartbeat. Elena. I smiled, happy she was enjoying herself despite the dire circumstances we were in. I heard Hillary Duff's annoying voice faintly, and I cringed. That girl's voice always had annoyed me, even in her songs that Rebekkah just had to listen to…over and over again. I shook my head and my phone rang, bringing my ears back to my room.
"What?" I picked up my phone and answered it.
"Is my doppelganger safe?" my arrogant brother demanded.
"Have I called to say she wasn't?" I spat back; irritated that he didn't call Elena by her name, but by 'doppelganger'.
"She's not yours, but yes, she's safe." I said a moment later, after my irritation diminished.
"Good. Where are you all at?" I heard his car start up in the background.
"In a cabin, about ten miles into the woods, off mile marker 7." I said.
"Did Serena ask about me?" he sounded curious and I was suddenly disgusted.
"You know your real father is going to be here, right?" I changed the subject abruptly and I heard Nik's brakes screech.
"WHAT?" he roared. "Mikael? I KILLED HIM!"
"No, the Original Wolf." I explained.
"He died back when we did." Nik spat.
"Actually, he didn't. According to Serena, he wants to be bound to Serena's sister or boss or whatever."
"Katherine? Why would she…no…it can't be…I have to go. See you in an hour."
The line went dead and my mouth dropped open. Was it Katherine or someone else? Scowling, I through my phone across the room and it landed on the bed with a soft thud. I heard the door open, and Damon walked in.
Damon's POV
Katherine? What the hell is that bitch doing with Daddy Klaus? I thought in confusion. I was sitting in my room, listening to Kol's phone conversation with the hybrid. I heard Kol curse softly when Klaus hung up. I got up and decided to go investigate.
I opened his door without knocking.
"Katherine?" I exclaimed. "What does that damned girl have to do with anything?"
He shook his head. "No idea."
[A/N: I think the 'gang' knew about what they're about to say, but if I'm wrong, my apologies!]
I scoffed. "Whoever even decided to make Tatia the doppelganger was a complete and utter selfish bitch."
"That would be…Esther." Kol said, almost to himself.
I raised an eyebrow, "I knew she chose Tatia to be the girl who had herself copied over the centuries, but I never knew she gave that girl's descendants this curse that poor Elena has!"
Kol nodded. "Remember, she never wanted Nik's hybrid curse broken and she knew how much Tatia meant to Nik. She thought he'd be so captivated by how the new doppelgangers looked that he couldn't bear to kill them."
"She was wrong." I said bitterly, remembering how I held the momentarily dead Elena in my arms when I carried her back from the sacrifice.
Kol nodded thoughtfully. "I still can't figure out who would want to be bonded to Klaus' father!" he scowled and paced the room. I could tell he was concerned for Elena's sake, and I felt jealousy rise up, but I banished it instantly. I couldn't afford to have emotions clouding up my judgment. I got up and started to leave, simply calling over my shoulder, "I'm checking to see if they have any blood in their fridges, I'm starving."
I heard Kol follow me and we walked down to the bottom floor to search for food.
Elena's POV
I was in the last twenty minutes of the movie, and I heard Kol and Damon's voices as they walked down the stairs.
"Damn, now that you mention it, I'm starving." Kol.
"We can't afford to be weak minded when Serena and the Original wolf are around, we definitely need to drink up." Damon.
"I think I smelt some in the ice box in the cellar when I was down checking for intruders…" Kol. I heard their voices fade and I turned my attention back to the movie.
The main character, Lane, and her big 'sister' were talking in their apartment about guys. Lane's boss, Tom, was the only one she didn't score on Lane's high-standard checklist. Lane finally realized even though Tom only 'scored' a 2 out of 10 on her checklist, she loved him. The movie ended with her going and telling him and they lived happily ever after, like any romance movie. [A/N: sorry if you haven't seen the movie and I spoiled it for you! ]
The credits rolled and I got up to stop it and turned on the light. I sat in the front row and stared at the blue screen. My situation was nothing like Lane's. I didn't have some elaborate checklist that only my true perfect guy would make a 10/10 or whatever. I was torn between two-dare I say I still had feelings for Stefan? -maybe three guys. I sighed, sad that the movie didn't do anything to help my guy dilemma. I went to walk out the door, and was cornered by none other than Klaus.
"What Klaus?" I huffed, crossing my arms.
"Wouldn't you like to donate to the blood drive?" a wolfish grin spread over his face and a compelled nurse walked up with two blood bags.
I felt the color drain out of my face. "No." I stepped back, and felt my fear grow when my back hit the wall.
He smirked, "Aw come on, love, just two pints is all I ask! I'll let you have some of my blood after and you'll be good as new!"
I glared at him. "No."
Irritation flickered on his face, "Don't make me compel you." He stepped closer, only a foot between us.
"I'm full of vervain," I spat. "Don't make me call for my friends." I warned when he smirked again and reached out for my arm.
"Kol! Damon!" I shrieked as I quickly sidestepped and ran around Klaus, only to run right into him again a moment later. Damn vampire speed.
Kol appeared, his eyes looking murderous.
"Leave her alone, brother." He pushed Klaus against the wall and ducked down when Klaus tried to punch him. Damon appeared a moment later and kicked Klaus in the groin, sending him back against the wall and to the floor.
I walked up to the nurse and whispered in her ear. "I'll let you take one pint, okay?"
She nodded robotically and we went to my room. "I'm supposed to take two pints."
"You can, just take one now, and you can take another one tomorrow." I tried reasoning with her.
I saw her battle with her compulsion and a minute later, she nodded.
I extended my arm, closed my eyes, and bit my lip as I waited for the poke of the needle.
Damon's POV
I tried to throw a few punches at Klaus, but stepped back when I noticed the fight was mainly between Kol and Klaus. Klaus zoomed forward and pinned Kol against the wall by the throat. Then they blurred and their positions were switched. I heard Klaus spit out a cuss word, and he grabbed Kol in a headlock, but Kol was one step ahead of him and he slung him over his shoulder. I heard a slam and they continued their dance for another five minutes. I looked around, wondering where Elena was.
"Hey guys!" I called to them.
Still they fought like children.
"Hey guys, where's Elena?" I said in a calm voice. The brothers immediately stopped fighting and scanned the room in confusion.
Elena's POV
I felt the needle exit my arm and the nurse smiled, wrapping gauze around the wound.
"All done!" she smiled warmly.
I smiled weakly back and I froze when I heard that the fighting had stopped. Glancing towards the door, I told the nurse thank you and she walked off to wherever she was instructed to go after she took my blood.
I took a sip of the Gatorade the nurse gave me and winced when I heard my door slam open. Klaus, Kol and Damon walked, Damon and Kol looking the most irritated of the three.
"Yes?" I said innocently. Kol and Damon's eyes raked my body, and they froze on the gauze wrapped around my arm.
"One pint is all you get, Klaus." I said as a matter of factly.
Damon opened his mouth, but I cut him off.
"No Damon, it was my choice. I hoped no one would get hurt if I gave some of my blood and look, you two stopped fighting." I shrugged and drank some more of my drink. A wide cocky smirk appeared on Klaus' face.
"Thank you dear Elena." He walked forward and kissed my hand graciously.
I forced a smile. "Now, if you all will leave me in peace, I have a big day tomorrow, so I'd better get some sleep."
Damon and Kol glared at me, but Klaus simply smirked and the three of them left me in peace.
I'm not going to reveal the plan until after the plan is completed ;) Aren't I mean? hehe sorry, I can't help it :)
Thanks for all the reviews! xx
