Hi guys! Thanks for all the reviews! I really like how this story is turning out so I think I'm going to try to update faster that I have been.
ONE THING BEFORE THE CHAPTER: OMG THIS WEEK'S EPISODE! I CRIED I FELT SO BAD FOR KLAUS! I probably shouldn't because he has killed so many people but the look on his face! AWwwww! I really want them to find the cure for Rebekah she deserves it!
So without further ado... CHAPTER NINE!
Chapter 9
Elena knew that Elijah wasn't going to use her just to lure Klaus out. It struck her as odd that part of the deal was that Elijah wouldn't protect her anymore when Klaus came into town. That just made her think that he was going to help Klaus.
'How do we even know we can trust him?' Elena asked herself. But she knew the answer. They didn't know they just believed they could. They needed to believe they could trust someone.

"Not that bad of a plan Stefan." Katherine said sipping at her third glass of blood. "Its simple yet it just might work. There are just a few little kinks."
"What would that be?" Stefan asked raising an eyebrow.
"First off, I think it's stupid not to include Damon."
"There's no need for him in the plan."
"Yea well, what if something goes wrong and then you need him and have to take the time to fill him in? Then he's going to be mad and not want to help at all."
"I'll think about it. Just tell me the problems with the actual plan."
"Fine. I'll say now, I stand by what I said at the beginning of our 'session', I won't go within one hundred miles of Klaus, remember he wants me dead." Katherine said and then finished her glass of blood.
"Fifty."
"No."
"Seventy-five?"
"Fine." She said, "seventy-five miles away. No closer. That freak could kill me any second if I was closer."
"Okay. What else?"
"How will we find out where he is? That seems to be a big factor in your plan."
"There's this guy, Slater. Rose told us about him. He lives in Richmond, he knows everything." Stefan said, "He helped Rose to find you."
"How the hell did he know where I was?" She asked him concerned. She thought everyone thought she was dead in that tomb.
"Doesn't matter. What matters is that he can help us find Klaus."
"Okay. That's all for my criticism." Katherine said getting up to get another bag of blood.

Elijah went back to Jonas and Luka's apartment after his little Q&A session at the Gilbert house. He hoped he had fooled them with the part about him not protecting Elena once Klaus got into town. He was perfectly capable of protecting Elena and killing Klaus but he didn't want to.
Walking in the hallway back to their room he heard them talking with the girl witch Bonnie. He walked into the living room and listened to their conversation.
Jonas was already talking, "I told Luka when he was nine. I can't believe you didn't know until a year ago!"
Then Bonnie started talking, "Well my grams had always said I was a witch but my dad told me to ignore her. He really didn't want to hear about anything unnatural about me. I only started to believe and practice last year."
"That's amazing. You already have so much power." Luka said to Bonnie in awe.
"Yeah, well… I should probably get going. I want to go see how Elena is doing today. Thank you for talking to me about all of this."
Elijah took that as a good time to walk into the room. "Hello Bonnie." He nodded to her. "Goodbye Bonnie." He said.
Bonnie looked at him in shock and turned to Luka and Jonas and shook their hands. She walked out of the front door and Elijah turned to Jonas and Luka.
"I need you to help me spread word of the doppleganger."

Stefan and Katherine pulled into the parking garage in Richmond. They got out of his car and walked into the café.
"Do you even know who he is?'' Katherine asked Stefan looking around the cafe.
"No but I bet if I say, SLATER, really loud I'll find him." Stefan said shouting out his name. A guy came running over. He was of medium height and had coffee color hair.
"Hey. I'm Slater. Do I know you?" He asked Stefan before he looked over to Katherine and said, "Katherine Pierce aka Katerina Petrova. Wow. I have heard so much about you."
"Yea, yea, everyone has heard of me. We are here to ask about another well-known person. Klaus." She said to him cutting right to the chase.
"Well, I think we should sit down then."
O
Damon walked into the boarding house and found it empty. Stefan was probably off somewhere being an idiot. Damon walked over to his wet bar and poured himself a glass of his favorite bourbon.
"Hello Rose. So nice of you to join us." He said when he heard Rose walking into the room.
"I know you're angry with me for running but you need to let that go for a second. I have something important to tell you." She said walking up behind him.
Damon spun around and glared at her, "Spit it out then."
"I was here earlier and so was your brother. But, he had Katherine with him. He freed her from Elijah. He wants her help with a plan to get Klaus away from Mystic Falls."
"Damn it! Stefan!" He said and threw his glass at the nearest wall. "That's just going to screw around with Elijah's plan!"
"Wow, wait. You made a deal with Elijah? Why would you do that? Elijah is not a good person."
"Yea, lets not talk about this now. Can we please go and find my brother and that bitch?"
"Sure Damon whatever you want, I know exactly where they went."
"Perfect! I'll drive."
"No, you're forgetting not all of us can do sun." Rose said pointing to the window which had its shades drawn.
"You drive then."
O
Bonnie pulled up to the Gilbert house in her car. She had just talked to Elena and she had said they needed to talk in person. Bonnie could tell something was bothering Elena when they talked.
She walked up to the front door and didn't even knock. It was unlocked. She walked up to Elena's room. Elena was already sitting on her bed chewing on her thumbnail.
"Hey Elena." Bonnie said entering the room, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. Why?" Elena asked a little too quickly, like she was hiding something.
"First of all, you're biting your nails which you never do unless you're nervous." Bonnie started out. Elena immediately stopped chewing her nails, "Second, I can tell in your voice. Something is bothering you."
"We made a deal with Elijah." Elena said. Her voice shook a little like she was scared.
"What!? How could you make a deal with him? What was the deal even?" Bonnie asked her almost yelling.
"Bonnie, please calm down, I'm freaking out enough as is." Elena said. She continued once Bonnie sat down, "I didn't even make the deal it was Damon. It's just that Elijah is going to use me to lure Klaus into Mystic Falls. He wants to get him here and then kill him."
"Why here?" Bonnie asked, "Why couldn't he lure him somewhere else. That just makes it easier for someone to get hurt if he comes here."
"I know! That's what I don't like. He said he would protect everyone but what if he can't?" That was the real reason Elena was scared. She didn't care about Klaus coming to get her; she only cared about him hurting others.
"How did he say he was going to kill Klaus even?" Bonnie asked.
"He said he had witches."
"That must be Jonas and Luka." Bonnie murmured. "The witches I helped to break the tomb spell. They are working with Elijah."
"Yea, that's why Elijah had them break the tomb spell Bonnie. They are probably in his service for something. Like your cousin Lucy was with Katherine."
"I could ask them why they are working with him." Bonnie said more to herself than to Elena. "But they probably wouldn't tell me."
"Yea, we could ask them why, but what is that going to do? We don't need to know why they are working with Elijah. We know they are. We just need to know how they plan to kill Klaus and protect everyone. To see if we can help them."
"I could ask them. Just to see if I can help right?" Bonnie asked getting off the bed. Elena nodded. "Okay I'll go see."
Bonnie left the Gilbert house. She was a little mad at Damon for making the deal with Elijah but not very. It seemed like their best option.
O
Damon and Rose pulled into the car garage and saw Stefan's car. They were probably still with Slater.
"You sure this guy is trustworthy?" Damon asked Rose.
"More than sure. He is one of my best friends." Rose said, "Actually my only one now since Trevor…"
"Yea got that." Damon said and started walking forward. Then he stopped. "What did you say my brother's plan was?"
"He wants to have Klaus chase Katerina. Like she goes somewhere near him, someone gets pictures of her and shows them to him, blah blah blah."
"Woooo, not a great plan." Damon said.
"It's okay though. Not great but it may work out." Rose said and they started walking again.
They walked into the brightly lit café and Damon saw Katherine and Stefan sitting with some guy in a corner. Rose stepped right in behind him and Damon freaked out.
"Hello? I thought you couldn't do sun?" He said pointing to the windows.
"Its tempered glass. UV rays can't penetrate." Damon looked at her surprised. "Yeah you see the appeal now? I went about 500 years in darkness before finding this place."
"Hmmm." Damon said listening to Katherine and Slater's conversation.
"So, Klaus, how do you start finding him?" She asked Slater.
"Well I go on Craig's list. Seriously." He said to Stefan and Katherine's questioning looks, "Some guy sends an email somewhere. That's how I found Elijah. There could be a guy with the same information on Klaus. We could contact him."
"No. We do NOT want to contact Klaus. We just want to know where he is so we can plant our information." Katherine said.
"Well, you don't find Klaus he finds you." Slater said.
"Yea. He has already found me before, thank very much. If you can't find him why are we even coming to you?" Katherine asked standing up with Stefan right beside her.
"Well, I could find someone who could contact him and then see if they can find out where he is."
Katherine got interested and sat back down. Stefan, looking like a lost puppy, did the same. "I'm listening."
"Well I could do just that. Nothing more to it." Slater stated.
"Fine. Here's my phone number." Stefan said finally joining the conversation. He wrote down his phone number on a napkin.
Stefan and Katherine went to get up again that's when Stefan saw Damon.
Stefan sped over to him and pushed him against the wall with his hand around Damon's neck. "What are you doing here?" He asked in his 'scary' voice.
"Nice try Stef, but even when you drink blood I'm stronger than you." Damon squeezed Stefan's arm until he let go of Damon's throat.
Katherine stood by looking amused at the fight. Rose finally noticed Katherine and took a step toward her before Stefan flipped Damon over his shoulder. Damon, not expecting it, flew over Stefan's shoulder and rammed right into the window shattering it.
Rose and Slater screamed and ran to each other. They both got out the back door. Katherine and Stefan sped out also, leaving Damon sitting in a pile of glass outside the café.
People were running screaming out of there and Damon scoffed at them. Nothing had even happened. If they had been paying attention they would have know what had happened.
Damon got up and brushed himself off. He walked toward the back door hoping Rose and Slater were still there. To his pleasant surprise they were.
"What do we do now?" He asked.
