Ok, Chapter 4. It's kind of long, but I hope you like it, because this is my favorite one yet. :)

"I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back. The less I give, the more I get back. Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise. I don't have a choice, but I still choose you. Oh I don't love you, but I always will…"-Poison and Wine-The Civil Wars

Damon

"Alright." Elijah agreed.

"Wait." Katherine told Elijah. She turned to me. "Call your little bartender friend over here."

"Why?"

"Because I have a feeling we're all going to need a couple more drinks for this story."

I smiled. "Alright." I motioned the bartender over and Elijah began.

"I'm sure you've realized Damon, that Katerina is not the original Petrova doppelganger." He said.

I nodded. "I've thought about it before."

Elijah smiled. "Yes. Well, her name was Charlotte Petrova. Klaus and I met her only several months after we had became vampires. I was twenty-four and Klaus was twenty-two. Charlotte was only nineteen. We both were interested in her and began courting her immediately. Our efforts proved to be pointless and foolish though, for she was different from any woman we had ever met."

1011, England.

Elijah

Klaus and I both paused as we saw the carriage go up the driveway of our neighboring house. It was like we could both sense something in the air. Sense her.

Klaus put an arm around my shoulder. "Do you want to go meet our new neighbors, brother?"

I smiled. "Why not? There could always be a pretty girl with sweet blood to spend the day with, anyway."

Klaus and I began walking up the long driveway leading to the house. "I thought we were going to sustain from doing that?"

"Klaus, weren't you listening to that witch? We're vampires now. The cravings will never go away. And it's not like I plan on killing her."

Klaus nodded. "Alright."

As we approached the house, the mother was getting out of the carriage. She smiled when she saw us approaching.

I put on my most charming smile and held out my hand to her. "Hello. I'm Elijah Smith, and this is my brother Klaus. Our family lives in the house next door."

She smiled again. "I'm Olivia Petrova." As she spoke a gloved hand came out of the carriage. "And this is my daughter, Charlotte." We were both taken aback by her beauty. We had seen plenty of beautiful women in England, but none quite like this. With her olive skin, dark hair in curls wound on top of her head, and warm brown eyes, she was exotic and enchanting.

"Hello." She smiled. I brought her hand to my lips as soon as she held it out, and Klaus did the same after me.

"I need to help my husband with some things that would surely only bore Charlotte," Olivia Petrova said. "Would you mind to show her around town for the afternoon?"

I smiled. "It would be our pleasure."

"Wonderful. Thank you." Olivia said. "You can bring her back later, and I'm sure my husband will be eager to meet you both then."

I turned my attention to Charlotte. "We will be back in just a moment with a carriage to pick you up Miss Petrova."

She looked at both of us. "Please," She said. "Call me Charlotte."

Damon

"So Charlotte was beautiful and manipulative. Just like Katherine. Awesome." I said. Katherine of course, only took this as a compliment.

"No. Yes. Well, not exactly." Elijah answered. "Charlotte was one half Elena and one half Katherine. They both each make up a half of her."

I raised any eyebrow.

Just as Elijah started to further explain, my phone rang. I looked down and saw Elena's name and face. I wasn't going to answer at first, but then I considered that she might be in danger, and decided against my better judgment.

"I have to take this." I said to Katherine and Elijah. As I stood up and stepped outside, I answered. "Yes, dear?"

Elena

I was still shaken up by what had just happened with Damon, and Stefan could tell.

"Don't worry." He said into my neck as he wrapped his arms around me from behind. "Damon could never stay mad at you."

"I know," I sighed. "But the look on his face just…" I spun around to face Stefan.

"I know." Stefan said as he kissed my forehead. "How about I go out and get you something to eat?" I knew that he also meant he wanted to get himself something to "eat".

"You're going to leave me here?"

"I'll only be gone for a few minutes, you should be fine." He hugged me again before walking to the door. "And besides, if Klaus has a witch putting a tracking spell on me, this will help throw him off a bit."

I nodded. "I love you Stefan."

He smiled. "I love you too."

While Stefan was gone I decided to call Caroline to see how things were going back home, and really just to have someone to talk to.

"Hello?" I heard Tyler answer.

"Oh. Hey Tyler. Where's Caroline?"

He sighed. "She's sleeping off today's events."

"Why, what happened?"

"I'll let her fully explain when you talk to her, but basically, she spent the day being tortured by her own father for being a vampire."

"Oh my god. Is she ok?"

"Yeah, she's fine now. Just upset and a little shaken. Sherriff Forbes and I went and saved her, and she almost shot her ex husband to save Caroline. It was kind of badass."

We both laughed. "I'm really glad she has you Tyler." I said honestly. Caroline needed someone who cared for her like that.

I could almost see him smiling through the phone. "I'm glad I have her."

I smiled. "Just tell her I'll talk to her soon then, ok?"

"Alright. Bye Elena."

"Bye Tyler."

I looked around the empty building and decided to call one more person before Stefan came back.

"Yes, dear?" Damon answered. He sounded almost drunk, and he probably was.

"Where are you?" I asked.

"Oh you know, just out roaming the streets of Chicago, enjoying life."

"Are you ok?"

"I'm just peachy, Elena. Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." I answered.

"Why aren't you with your ripper boyfriend?"

I rolled my eyes. "Stefan is out getting me something to eat."

"Ooo. He left you alone? That's not smart."

"When are you coming back?"

"I'm not. You can come to our hotel room when you're done with your little love fest." He answered. "I'll text you the details." I heard a female voice in the background. "I've got to go Elena. I'll see you later."

"Where are you?"

"That's…not important. Just call me if you need anything. Bye Elena."

"Bye." I sighed.

Thanks for reading! More Katherine, Elijah, and Damon coming up in the next chapter, mixed in with a little bit of Klefan. :) Reviews are greatly appreciated! :)
