A/N: Medium/short chapter, enjoy. Not many reviews last chapter :(

Elena's POV

"Elijah," I gasped. "Didn't expect to see you here."

He smiled down at me and I smiled back. I finally realized we had stopped and looked around. We were at the side of the road.

I looked into the forest. "Kol," I whispered and stepped forward.

I heard a whoosh and Elijah appeared in front of me. "Stay here. I'll go retrieve Damon and my brother."

I opened my mouth but he was already gone.

Zach appeared a moment later and I stared at him in surprise. "I apologize for my recklessness little kangaroo." He smirked and appeared in front of me, touching my neck where I had been bit by him a moment before.

"Damon is trying to take you to where Esther was while you were gone with Kol. It's a sight down in Bristol."

I narrowed my eyes and turned my head to the side. "Why?"

"Because, you're the doppelganger and seem to be ridiculously unlucky." He frowned at me sadly.

"Let me guess I have to bleed out over the sight and she resurrects or something psychotically witchy of the sort?" I asked sarcastically, wishing I wasn't the doppelganger for the fifty-billionth time in my life.

"You're smarter then you look." He grinned at me and continued. "To get Damon back to normal you-"

His eyes widened and rolled to the back of his head. He fell to the ground and Elijah appeared behind him, his heart in his hand.

"The nuisance is finally dead." Kol remarked, his shirt covered in blood and his hair mussed.

I stared down at Zach's body in shock. "He was telling me how to fix Damon." I stared unblinkingly at where his heart was. "And you killed him."

I slowly looked up at Elijah who was staring back at me in shock.

"Well I'm sure you'll find someone else to fix the boy before he goes crazy," Kol remarked before Elijah had a chance to speak.

"Speaking of Damon, where is he?" I suddenly asked, looking around.

Elijah pulled out a pink handkerchief that I imagined once was white, and wiped his bloodied hands on it. "We put him in the trunk of his car. We're going to drive it back home."

I nodded slowly and stretched my legs, tired from the entire mile I'd probably just ran. We started off down the road slowly, but I was trudging along slowly. Kol was obviously getting impatient with my human speed, so he picked me up and we appeared at Damon's car a split second later.

We climbed in the car and as I got in the back seat, I told them about my conversation with Zach before he died.

"I won't let him hurt you, 'Lena." Kol said as he turned around in his seat. I glanced at the clock, which read 12 a.m. I yawned and smiled sleepily at him. "You know Elijah, Klaus and Stefan will protect you too."

I nodded and stretched out across the back seat. "Thanks," I heard myself mumble before I fell asleep.

Stefan's POV

"She's okay?" I asked Elijah monotonously.

"Yes, my brother and I were able to stop Damon and kill an old friend all in one night!" I heard Kol in he background and shook my head.

"Thank you, ELIJAH." I said, putting emphasis on Elijah's name. He chuckled and finally spoke up.

"I overheard Kol's phone conversation, and knew could probably use some assistance."

"I had it completely under control…for the most part." Kol spoke up again in the background.

"For the most part indeed. Elena was against a tree with the other vampire- Zach's- lips against her neck." He told me and I stiffened.

"Did he bite her?" I walked up to my room and opened the door.

"Just a bit, I can smell the blood in the front seat." Kol butted in again.

I flinched at the though of my-at the thought of Elena, in the back seat with two vampires in the front. I heard rustling in the background. "It's almost scabbed up. It looks like he just nicked her vein barely." Elijah informed me.

"How's Damon?" I went into the bathroom and set down the phone for a brief second, changing with a blur into my nighttime clothes.

"Out cold in the trunk with a vervain soaked cloth pressed against his nose." I could hear the cocky smile in the younger Mikaelson's voice.

"Sounds painful." I commented. "Well I'm going to have a drink and then hit the hay, so goodbye Elijah, Kol."

"Goodbye Stefan," Elijah replied and I was met with the dial tone as I locked my iPhone and climbed into my bed, images of when Elena and I were together flashing through my mind. My heart tinged with sadness and I flinched, rolling over onto my side and closing my eyes, resisting the urge to shut off my emotions.

Elena's face filled my dreams. Memories of her flashed through my head.

The other me jumped into the water, jacket on the ground, and swam down into the dark chilly river. A car was sinking slowly towards the bottom, with an unconscious family floating inside. I swam to the driver side door and saw a middle aged man pointing frantically at the backseat. My eyes widened as I swam closer and saw…Katherine Pierce. I listened for a brief second before hearing a heartbeat… she wasn't Katherine? The father's desperate pointing awoke me from my trance and I started to get him out. He shook his head and I finally got out the other 'Katherine'. We swam quickly to the surface and I laid her on the beach. Swimming back down, I listened for her parent's heartbeat, but there was none. They were dead.

Sadness washed over me like the cold waves of the river, and I quickly swam back to the surface to check on the girl. Her heart was beating faintly, and I dug my phone out of my jacket pocket and dialed 911. "There's been an accident. A car drove off Wickery Bridge, one person got out. I have to go, goodbye." I hung up quickly and gave her one last long look. Every single last detail was the same, except for the fact that her hair was straight and a bit longer. She had more innocence to her than Katherine did. Her big brown eyes opened right before I was going to disappear and I compelled her. "You managed to get out of the car, but your parents didn't make it. They both told you that they loved you before they passed. I never was here." She stared at me blankly for a moment before tears filled her eyes. My heart panged for this human and I then vanished into the darkness, feeling buried emotion fight to the surface. I reappeared at my house and walked in, ready to change into dry clothes. I opened the door to my room and was met with a big black crow staring at me with inhuman steel blue eyes. 'Damon?' I thought. He flew away with a loud caw and-

I shot up in bed, opening my eyes. It was still dark and I got up and glanced outside, looking for Damon's car. The driveway was empty and I sighed, sitting back down on my bed. I probably should go prepare the cellar for Damon, and see if I can scrounge up any vervain. I slipped on a shirt and ran my fingers through my bed-head hair. I went downstairs and was surprised to see Klaus raiding our liquor cabinet. He seemed ridiculously hammered.

"Damon's not going to be happy when he sees you drank all the bourbon." I commented as I made my way to the stairs leading down.

"He won't be happy with me when I tear his head off later." He called back as I made my way down the stairs.

"Don't you dare Klaus, its not worth it." I stated in a normal voice as I went into the vervain room.
