Dark World 8: Trust Is Earned

Chapter 9:

Ingrid's POV

A shrill beeping entered my room. Myka looked at the flashing red light and looked back at me.

"What's that?" she asked.

"Transmission," I said confused.

We got transmissions from the people on Earth when we first took off, but that was in 2016 and on until 2020. We hadn't gotten one after that year. The year the famine started and population started becoming a concern.

"Come on," I said.

I walked out into the hall and saw Chad and Shawna looking confused. I nodded and them and they followed us. I turned left and walked into the Cafeteria. Hordes of people were walking into the Matrix Room. I pushed past them and found Beverly typing in several codes.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Transmission from Earth," she said.

"How is that possible?" I asked. "No one should know we're up here."

"Exactly," she said.

I watched her fingers nimbly trace across the keyboard until a video popped. Up I saw Elaina's face on screen. I looked back to her and saw her confusion.

"Hello, My name is Katherine Pierce. Many of you are probably thinking I'm Elaina Gilbert, your friend and family. Well I have a surprise for you. Elaina dear has been naughty and keeping secrets from you all. She didn't want anyone to know about her evil ancestor. There are a few of us, like myself, that made it out of 2012. We've been in hiding and in your little Matrix. I think Quinn has met Nikita from our previous visit."

I looked at Quinn and saw the terror in her eyes at that name.

"I think now would be a good time to wake up Jason and the rest of the Hawaiian Citizens, don't you Beverly? It'll be good for them to hear this. Call me back once it's done."

The video ended.

The entire room busted into accusations at Elaina. Damon, Stefan and Rachel gathered around her and shouted back. I smiled at Rachel. Even though she wasn't a vampire, she was still protecting her friend. Props to her.

"Enough!" Beverly and Stefan yelled at once.

"Explain," Beverly said.

"Damon and I were teenagers in 1864, Katherine Pierce was one of the founding families of MysticFalls. She turned us and faked her death. We thought she was dead but she came back. In 2010, I met Elaina by chance. I thought she was Katherine but she wasn't. Katherine is evil and cruel. So I came back and learned she was Katherine's descendant. They're related. We locked Katherine up but I guess she got out."

"And now she's working with these Dharma folk," Damon said throwing his hands up sarcastically.

"Now who is Nikita?" I asked.

"She tried to kill me in the New Timeline, she said she'd been watching us and knew about the warehouses. She tried to kill me and I fought back. She's a rouge assassin and she left with a man named Michael." Quinn said.

"Great, how are they alive?" Allison asked. "cause I'm pretty sure humans can't live that long."

I thought about that. If Katherine wanted to play then we'd give her what she wanted. We'd wake everyone up. I lifted up the purge button and realized as it didn't budge I needed a code. A laser shot off and pierced my skin. I felt blood trickle down my arm. I screamed and saw Elaina and the vampires get antsy. They looked at my fresh blood. I covered it up and stood.

"I got it," Beverly shook her head.

She typed in a code and pushed the button.

"System Purge, Hawaiian Citizens or New American Citizens?" the computer asked.

"Hawaiian." Beverly said.

A map of Hawaii came up with several pictures of the celebrities. I saw Reba, who had left after I vanished, Jason, Rihanna, Liam Payne, Emma Watson, Emma Stone, Jennifer Aniston and a few others. Their pictures vanished and suddenly I heard gasps from down the other end of the room.

Jason Batemen, my old friend, sat up and looked at the Earth. He got up from his bed and looked at me. He took note of my arm and then found Elaina. She looked at him and he looked confused.

"Are you Elaina or Katherine?" he asked her.

I gasped and looked from him to her. She shook her head.

"Where are we?" Emma stone asked.

"We've just been taken out of a Matrix Machine, it's made to seem like we've been living a life when really we are just dreaming." He said

How did he know all of this when he was just a normal actor? He had been in the Matrix this entire time, away from New America and the Dharma crew.

"Well? Are you going to answer me?" he asked.
