READ ME!
Okay people, I've had a bunch of people complaining that they're confused. I don't really get why, because if you read it carefully, you wouldn't be. Read it again, and pay attention to the details- for example- what the person gave Elena to wear-her shoes in particular. I'll write a more detailed explanation at the bottom-but please, re-read it and don't go straight to the bottom. xoxo.
Elena's POV
The next morning, I sat in my room fully dressed, waiting on Serena to arrive. I heard a car pull up and the front door slam open obnoxiously. A moment later, Kol, Damon and Serena barged into my room.
"Hello Elena," she said with a smirk, strutting over and grabbing my arm. She jerked me up and walked me over to Damon, pushing me into him. He gripped my arm like she did, and we went downstairs. Klaus had left the night before, and he would track us from his car. When we were at Serena's car, a man, probably in his late 30's or early 40's stepped out. He had Klaus' blonde hair and had piercing blue eyes. A scar ran from the left side of his forehead, and across his face, over his lips, and ended at his chin. Despite the gruesome scar, he still was quite handsome. His eyes lit up in interest when he saw me, and he appeared in front of me in a flash.
"You must be Elena," his voice was deep and melodious, with a slight accent that I couldn't place. I smiled faintly and nodded.
"Hello," I said shyly and looked up at him. He was extremely tall, probably 6'3".
"By Jove! She sounds just like Tatia!" he mused aloud. He studied me a moment more then he broke out into a huge grin.
"I'm David." He turned to Kol and Damon. "You must be Kol…and Damon Salvatore, my, my, I've heard some rumors about your brother…the ripper?" he smirked and walked back to the car. Damon tensed at the mention of Stefan. We followed him to the car and Damon, Kol and I all piled into the back seat, with me in the middle, and Serena in the front passenger seat. We drove what seemed like forever, then ended up in a clearing in the woods. We all climbed out and my friends-and Serena- led me to the clearing.
Turning to Serena, David said, "She will be here at dusk. I suppose the witch will arrive shortly?"
Serena nodded and not a moment later a tall Native American girl with long black hair stepped out from behind a tree.
"I am Rain."
Serena's head snapped towards her and smiled. "Speak of the devil."
Rain started to walk around the forest clearing and arrange stones, build a fire pit and do other witchy things. It was probably around two o'clock by now, considering how they arrived at the house at noon, and it took an hour to get to the clearing. The five of us sat in silence on a log and watched Rain work. Suddenly, Rain's head turned towards me and gasped.
"She has sisters?" her eyes fogged over and she started to work again. David looked at me curiously.
"You're just full of mysteries aren't you?"
David turned and called to Rain. "She is a doppelganger, my dear, so yes, in a way sisters."
I blushed slightly and looked down, rubbing my hands together.
Where was Klaus?
As if on cue, there was a blur that zoomed by, and Serena and David went after it. Someone else zoomed around me and I felt myself being whisked away. We reappeared a moment later and I stared up into a familiar face. I was met with a devious smile.
"Give me your clothes, you can wear mine." I opened my mouth to protest but I was interrupted by a laugh.
"Oh please, you don't think I've seen your body before? There is-was- two people that look exactly like you. Now strip down and put these on."
I sighed and did as they said, changing into the dark skinny jeans, black high-heeled leather boots, and dark red shirt. I handed them my purple shirt and light skinny jeans.
"You know what the plan is, Elena." And a smirk was all I got before they disappeared, leaving me all by myself.
Serena's POV
I cursed as I arrived back at the clearing. Damn vampires, always having to meddle in my affairs. I adjusted my clothes and hair before walking back over to Elena, [see note one after you read the story] who was staring sadly at the dirt.
"Aw, is the little girl scared?" I mocked. Katherine was right, she wasn't like her, she was too innocent to have the same beauty my 'sister' had.
She slowly looked up to meet my eyes and I laughed, as she didn't say anything.
"I'm surprised she's behaving," Kol spat, looking down at the top of her head. "Considering the tantrum she threw yesterday. 'Don't take me! You were supposed to love me! Kol! No! Stop! Waaaa!'" he imitated her whiny voice perfectly and I chuckled, remembering why I once loved Kol so much.
I heard a car pull up and I furrowed my brows.
"She's early." I called to David.
"Maybe she's excited," he responded with a wolfish grin, and I was again taken aback at how much he looked like my Nik.
Elena's POV
I stood in the woods, pacing back in forth, probably only a two-minute walk from the clearing. Where was Klaus? I cursed softly and continued pacing. I wobbled a few times from the high-heeled boots, but I had already gotten used to them.
"Nice walking." Klaus said, leaning against a tree. He had NOT been there two minutes ago…had he?
"You're late," was all I said as he raised an eyebrow.
"You're just early, Katherine." He smirked and walked towards me.
I smiled deviously. "Is the plan going down sooner then expected?"
Klaus simply nodded and he handed me his phone.
They might be within earshot, just play along, was all it read.
I typed back, okay; I'll be a snobby Katherine.
Klaus smirked and nodded.
"The plan is canceled," he spat. "Go home, before I kill you."
He slammed me up against a tree and flashed me a wolfish grin.
Rain's POV
A blonde woman walked into the clearing from the road. She walked up to the man, David, who had been staring at her like a lost lover and gave him a hug, before passionately kissing him on the lips. She must be the man with the scar's…lover maybe? Why else would they call on me for such a spell? I didn't know and didn't care. They threatened my son, so I would do whatever they asked. No matter how much I didn't like it. I continued to line up the rocks on the ground, saying a simple spell over them as I laid each one down. Once I had made a simple circle about five feet in diameter, I started to build the fire pit to the west of the circle, where the sun would set. I placed wood covered in blood of the couple in the pit, and they immediately lit on fire. I looked back over at the doppelganger that I had heard so much about and frowned to myself. Something was off; it was like looking at two pictures and trying to find the differences. It didn't matter. If the spell didn't work, it wouldn't be my fault. I murmured an incantation and the circle's stones glowed brightly. I smirked at my work and stood in front of the fire.
"Are you ready?"
Elena's POV
"You wouldn't kill me Klaus!" I said with a smirk, still pretending to be Katherine.
"No, I wouldn't," he said, and he snapped a bunch of sticks over his knee, and it sounded suspiciously like a neck breaking to anyone who couldn't see.
He flashed me his smirk, grabbed me and we reappeared a moment later behind a tree. I could hear Rain murmuring and I could smell the fire and blood.
I looked at Klaus who seemed to want to stick his head around the tree and either stare at, dagger or hug his biological father. I was so desperately curious to find out who the woman was.
"Bring the doppelganger forward into the circle." Rain said.
"That's our cue," Klaus said and he stepped out from behind the tree.
"Hello father!"
I stepped out from behind the tree and looked at Klaus who was staring at his biological father with a devilish grin on his face. His eyes moved to the woman and he gasped. "What are YOU doing here?"
I looked at her and almost fainted.
David, the woman, Serena and Rain gasped and stared at Katherine, who was pretending to be me, and me.
"Katerina Petrova," David smirked and looked at me. "It's been a while."
He thinks I'm Katherine. Oh shoot.
Note one:Serena thinks Elena is Elena-when she really is Katherine in disguise.
Explanation to all you confused people who discouraged the crap outta me :(
The person who zoomed by at first was Klaus-to distract Serena and David. The person who made Elena change was Katherine. Katherine was in the clearing with Kol and Damon to take Elenas place. Elena was pretending to be Katherine when she was pacing waiting for Klaus. When Klaus appeared, he thought they had guards or someone listing that's why he shower her his phone where he said just play along. When they stepped into the clearing at the end, David thought Elena was Katherine. If you go back and read Elena's parts carefully, you'll see I worded them [detail wise] so you can tell its Elena. Some examples of where I put details so it would be easier to follow: changed into boots; paced back in forth and finnaly stoped wobbling in the boots.
I got super sad and discouraged that I couldn't write it clearly enough, so I'm sorry if some of the upcoming chapters are shitty.
xoxo
