A/N - So from here on out I am going to be attempting to post a chapter a day. (Although with school starting I don't know how well I will be able to keep up with that) There will be a flashback every other chapter and the flashbacks will tend to be shorter.

Let me know if you have any constructive criticism, if any of the characters seem to OOC or if you have any questions or ideas. Reviews are always welcome.

Shout out to Valentina for reviewing. Here you go. :)

August 21st 1864:

"Elena, there are dangers in this town. Demons that you don't know of. I need you to understand that." Elena nodded as her father talked. He was a Pierce and part of the secret counsel. He talked in code, but she understood the true meaning behind his words anyway. Living in Mystic falls in 1864 meant that she knew about all the creatures that went bump in the night. Her father had tried to protect her from them, keeping the true reason for the many late night council meetings a secret, but she had her own secrets.

She had learned long ago about vampires. It wasn't hard to figure out with all the attacks, victims with puncture marks in their necks, and the blood drained from their bodies. But she also knew many of them. Anna, for example was a vampire, and had been Elena's friend for quite a while. Not to mention the fact that Elena's own twin just happened to be dating one. She knew that if their father found out, he would try to kill Elijah, and maybe even Katherine for being a sympathizer, but Elena liked Elijah. He was moral, and really loved Katherine, so Elena wasn't planning on giving him up to her father any time soon.

Elena's father finished up his speech to Elena about how she wasn't supposed to go outside at night, and he headed out to another one of his council meetings. Elena sighed and sat down at the window to write in her journal.

The front door opened and Katherine walked in. "Is father here?" Elena shook her head. "Good. Okay Elena I need your help."

Elena sat up, intrigued. Katherine didn't often ask for help, and when she did, Elena was pretty sure she would normally ask Elijah, not her. "With what?"

"Killing Klaus."

Elena's eyes went wide, trying to process what her twin had just said. Then she started thinking it through. If they succeeded, they would rid the world of Niklaus, the most ruthless original. He was strong, and he had no regard for human life. He only brought pain to those he interacted with and Elena knew that the world would probably be a much safer place without him in it. She was all for the idea, but couldn't understand what would lead Katherine to want him dead. "Why do you want to kill Klaus?"

Katherine shrugged her shoulders. "He is in the way. He would never allow my relationship with Elijah to continue if he found out about it and I don't like him controlling Elijah the way he does." Of course, Katherine left out the part about wanting Elijah to turn her and how that was never going to happen with Klaus in the way, but Elena didn't need to know that just yet.

Elena thought about then nodded. "Okay. I'm in."
