AN: Hey guys! Long time no post! Lol! I hope everyone is having a great start to their weeks!

Chapter 28: Elena's plan

They made it back in record time, Elena falling asleep on Stefan's lap in the back seat. Stefan carried her into the house. Jeremy and Bonnie came running towards them.

"Oh my god, is she okay?" Bonnie asked.

"Yeah she's fine, she just fell asleep. I'm going to put her in her bed." Stefan replied, carrying Elena upstairs.

"Where's Lexi?" Jeremy whispered, once they shut Elena's door.

"Damon took her to the house, she's getting Elena's jeep and bringing it back here." Jeremy nodded.

"Why do you think that vampire took Elena?" Alexis asked Damon, as he pulled into his driveway.

"I don't know."

"And she just ran off, after you saved her? I don't get it."

"Me either." Damon replied, getting out and heading up to the front door. "Keys are inside the house." He called back to Alexis. He watched as she got out and followed him up to the door.

He smirked and went inside. Immediately he knew something was off, and backed Alexis up to the wall, covering her mouth. She looked at him, confused. He held his finger up, indicating her to be quiet, she nodded. Alexis' eyes widened as Damon turned around. "What do you want?" Damon asked the brown haired vampire.

"Relax, I'm not here to hurt you." She said, her English accent shining through. "I'm here to help you."

"Help me what?" Damon asked.

"Protect Elena." Damon looked at her, confused. "That vampire you killed, Elijah, was one of the Original vampires... But there are others, and they will come for her."

"Why?"

"Because, they are doing it for him... for Klaus."

"Who's Klaus?" Alexis asked, peaking around Damon.

"Your worst nightmare." She replied.

Damon had called Stefan, wanting him there to hear what Rose had to say about Klaus and the originals. As soon as Stefan and Elena arrived, Rose began.

"Look I don't know what is rumor and what is real, except Klaus, I know he's real."

"Who is he?" Elena asked.

"An Original." Rose replied.

"Like Elijah?" Stefan asked.

"No, Elijah is like a kitten compared to Klaus... Klaus is the real deal... and it's said, that he's the oldest vampire." Elena looked at her.

"So let me get this straight... The oldest vampire in the history of time is looking for me?" Rose nodded. "Why?"

"Because the doppelganger is needed to break the curse."

"Wait, the Sun and Moon curse?" Damon asked. Rose nodded. Elena sighed, looking at the clock.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it now, so I'm headed to school." Alexis looked at her.

"Wait, your going to school?" Elena nodded. "Now? Are you crazy?"

"No, but there's nothing we can do about Klaus now, so until we have any proof of him coming after me, I'm going to go on living my life." She replied.

"Lena-"

"No, I'm not giving up my life." Alexis looked at her.

"Okay, just promise me you'll be careful." Elena nodded.

"I promise." Alexis smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll be there with her." Stefan added, going to grab his school stuff.

"Oh, Lexi, I brought something for you." Elena said, rummaging in her backpack. She grabbed a bracelet out and handed it to Alexis.

"Lena, it's so pretty!" Alexis said, putting it on. "Thank you."

"It's not just for looks, it has vervain in it, so you can't be compelled." Alexis grinned, glancing back at Damon.

"Thanks."

Elena and Stefan headed to school, Stefan promising to not let anything happen to Elena. Now, Damon and Alexis sat, watching Rose.

"She's stupid, you know?" Alexis looked at her. "Klaus will come for her, and when he does, one little vampire isn't going to stop him."

"My brother will protect Elena just fine." Damon growled, glaring at Rose.

"Look, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just saying that Klaus always gets what he wants... and if he doesn't..." Rose drifted off.

"If he doesn't, what?" Damon asked.

"If he doesn't he kills everyone..." Rose said, the images of Elijah killing Trevor flashing through her mind.

"I'm sorry about Trevor." Alexis said, causing Rose to look at her. "You cared about him."

"How do you know about Trevor?"

"Elena told me." Rose nodded.

"How'd you get in touch with Elijah?" Damon asked, he wasn't really comfortable with the sadness that had enveloped the room.

"One of my friends, Slater. He's very smart, and knows how to get in touch with the right people."

"Good, take me to him." Damon replied.

"What? Why?" Rose asked confused.

"If he got in touch with Elijah then he should be able to tell me more about Klaus, or to see if anyone else knows about Elena."

"I don't know, Slater is a very private-" Rose began.

"I thought you wanted to help me protect Elena?" Damon interrupted. Rose looked at him, and then sighed.

"Fine, just let me call him. We'll need to go to Richmond."

"That's fine." Rose nodded and went into the hallway. Damon turned to face Alexis.

"Do you think we can trust her?" She asked him.

"I don't know, but it can't hurt to follow the lead, especially if he can give us some legit info on Klaus." Alexis nodded, she glanced down at her pocket, it vibrating. She grabs her phone out and answers it, just as Rose comes back in.

"Hello?" She answered, walking out of the livingroom.

"Hey Lexi, I need a favor."

"Elena? Is everything okay?" She asked, wondering why Elena was calling her during the middle of the school day.

"Everything's fine, but I need your help."

"Ok.." Alexis began, wondering what Elena wanted.

"I need you to come to school and distract Stefan for a while."

"What? Why?" She asked, confused.

"I need to go find out some answers from Katherine and I know that he won't let me, he'll say that I can't trust her and that it's too dangerous."

"Well he'd be right Elena! It is too dangerous! And you know that everything that Katherine says is a lie anyways."

"I still need to try, please Lexi, please, I need to do this." Alexis could hear the pleading in Elena's voice, and she knew that even if she didn't agree to help her, Elena would go anyways.

"Fine." She replied, already regretting it.

"Thank you soo much Lexi, I'll get Stefan to come outside and see you."

"Just promise me something Elena, please be careful, and if you need anything, you call us right away."

"I will I promise. I'll see you shortly." Alexis sighed and hung up the phone, dreading the rest of the day.
