A/N: I am SO FREAKIN' SORRY, that I haven't updated since January. I've been really busy and I had to re-download Microsoft Office, which is where I write up the chapters. My birthday though is tomorrow 02/28, so as from me to you, here's an update. Enjoy, remember to review!

Oh, while writing this chapter I listened to 'You Are The Moon' by The Hush Sound. Listen to it, please.

"Sleeping with the doppleganger. That's not very Ripper-Like of you, Stefan." Klaus said bitterly.

Both Stefan and Elena exchanged worried glances, before both quickly and almost simeltanously getting dressed. Returning back into the Living Room they could see the hatred in Klaus's eyes. "Let me explain." Stefan started, his voice rough.

"There's nothing to explain, Stefan."

"Yes, there is."

"No. You lied, both you and your brother. I must say you two have certainly picked up a few things over the years considering you were able to pull one over my eyes."

Suddenly his attention was on Elena, "And you." He said. " What've you to say for yourself?" he growled.

"I..erhm…I..Uh…" she spat nervously."

"Well?" Klaus demanded.

The intense stare that bore from Klaus' gaze reflected into Elena's eyes. With her hands at her sides she clenched them tightly, trying to calm her shaking. Klaus moved an inch closer, his face inches from Elena's. " What kind of punishment do you deserve?" he asked her with a low sadisitc growl.

It was then that the door burst open, Damon, Lexi and some other unkown woman came walking and Lexi looked confused, yet in a good state, the other woman looked the same. "Niklaus, you let her go." Came the woman's sharp reply. Klaus turned his attention away from Elena, to look at the woman. His lips formed a tight line.

"Tatia."

"Yes." She answered solemnly. If you blinked in that moment you would've missed it, as Tatia now stood in front of Klaus. "You know why I'm here." She said sharply.

"Yes, you. The Original Doppleganger, way before Katerina. I know why you're here." He growled sarcastically.

"Niklaus,Niklaus,Niklaus. That's where you're wrong." She hissed. "You." She said her gaze drifting towards Elena. "You are?"

Her reply was short and hesitant, "Elena..Gilbert. Elena Gilbert."

Tatia nodded her head in response, "The last Doppleganger for another 500 years, and I find myself here? Here of all places." She shook her head, her attention swiftly turnig back onto Klaus.

"Answer my question."

"No."

"Answer it, Niklaus."

"Or to may I add a question myself."

"Niklaus." Tatia said evenly, becoming frustrated.

"You're here to help with the sacrifice of the doppleganger, once and for all?" he answered.

Her laugh was cold and sharp. "No." she said pointedly. "I'm here to kill you, Niklaus." She said.

Whilst in deep conversastion, Elena slipped over to stand between Stefan, Damon and Lexi. Their gazes held one another for longer then a moment before either dared to speak. "You can't kill me." He hissed, his eyes aglow with self wit.

"I can. And I will." She growled. Lunging towards Klaus she whipped the stake out from behind her back, and plunged it into his chest. Klaus let out a feirce scream, as she shoved it deeper, piercing his heart. After a few moments of struggiling, Tatia stood up and looked at the others. "Only the Original, Original Doppleganger can kill Klaus and not die, sweetheart." She said, directing her statement to Lexi.

"Thank you." Elena said as she stepped forward.

" It had to be done. Klaus deserves whatever he's going to get on the other side." Tatia picked up the stake from the pile of ashes were Klaus' had recently been.

Elena nodded, and stepped back by Stefan once more, their hands intertwining at their sides. "Though my job isn't finished." Tatia added before approaching Lexi.

It seemed as if time itself had stopped, no one moved, breathed, even blinked. "Alexia Noelle Branson." She said, turning to her.

Lexi stepped forward, her hands trembiling slightly. She saw the pained look on Stefan's face, along side Elena's too. Stefan was loosing his best friend, again and Elena was loosing the company of a good friend. "It's my time." Was all she said.

Tatia nodded, "Thank you Miss Branson, for your help,Mr Salvatore." she said nodding to both Damon and Lexi. Holding the stake in front of Lexi, she shoved it through her chest. Lexi opened her mouth to gasp out in pain, and clutched the stake tightly. As the stake pierced her heart, she caught only one last glimpse of Stefan, Elena and Damon before dropping to the ground. Her body grayed, the veins of death spreading out on her body, she stilled. After a moment, her body from foot to head slowly dissolved into dust.

Tatia turned to Elena,Stefan and Damon. " I wish you well." She said.

They all nodded their thanks, and just before Tatia headed out the door she spoke. "Though the troubles with Klaus seem to be over, I'm warning you. More darkness lurks around. Be aware. Prepare for battle." And then, as if she had never been there, Tatia Petrova was gone.

A/N: Please rememember to read and review!

So, what did you think of this chapter? Klaus and Lexi are gone, Tatia made an appearance, was it her last? What did Tatia mean when she said 'Prepare for battle.'? Those will all hopefully be answered soon. Keep reading.
