Hey guys thanks for all of the reviews :)

Abby pov
"Oh and Elena," Elijah called out. I refused to look at Elena in the face keeping my eyes firmly placed on Elijah who had turned around to speak to her. "I hope to see you soon. Thanks for your help Jenna, Abby." I smiled at him one more time when Jenna started to lead him out of the door leaving me alone with Elena.
"Abby," she started, but in all honesty I did not want to talk to her right now. I was still very furious about them keeping the secret from me. What if something happened to her, or anyone else I cared about because of this? I would never be able to live with myself knowing that maybe there could've been something I could've done to prevent it if I had known.
"Bonnie and I got our project done," I said walking into kitchen and grabbing a glass of water, but right now I would do anything for Elijah's special honey tea. I tried to act like nothing had happened, but when I spoke a small amount of venom came out of my voice. "I think we have a real chance of getting an A on it."
"Abby I can explain-," she started but I cut her off.
"Explain what Elena, maybe you could explain how you have a doppelganger, or maybe you would like to tell me that you're dating a vampire," I hissed at her placing my glass down firmly on the island glaring at her.
"Abby we didn't tell you-."
"Oh yea I know you wanted to protect me. The geeky sister that can't protect herself is I right?" I asked leaning down against the counter. I could see the hurt on her face, and I bit my cheek. I've never gotten into a fight with her, ever. We had always gotten along perfectly sure there were some sibling banters but that was all they were. Banters, I had never actually gotten into a real argument with her. However I was really hurt that she didn't trust me with this.
"No it's not like that-," she said.
"You know what I'm tired I think I'm just going to go to bed. Good night Elena sleep tight, don't let the vampires bite," I snapped at her, "Oh wait maybe I should just sleep next to you tonight, after all that will be much safer than being in my own room where an Original can easily enter right?" I walked right past her brushing against her and walked right up the stairs and towards my room that was on the opposite side from Jeremy's.
"Hey Elena Damon called-," Jeremy said walking out of his room stopping in his tracks when he saw me. Jeremy stopped and dropped whatever it was he was holding and rushed over to me holding me tightly in a hug. "Abby are you alright? When Elena said you had gone missing we were all worried sick about you."
"Yeah, I'm sorry Jer," I muttered not really wanting to talk to him right now.
"Hey are you okay?" he asked, but I needed to ask him. I had just assumed he knew, but I was never really sure but I needed to know.
"Did you know Jeremy?" I asked quietly looking at him in the eyes begging for the truth. His eyebrows scrunched in confusion at my question.
"Know what?" He asked.
"Did you know about the vampires?" I asked and his face dropped. I scoffed and frowned at her breaking myself away from him. "Unbelievable, who else knows? Alaric?" he didn't say anything, "John?" again I got nothing. "Does Jenna know?" I almost shouted at him.
"No she doesn't," Jeremy spoke panic evident on his face. "You're not going to tell her are you?"
"Are we really the only ones who didn't know about this?" I asked him. "I'm guessing that Bonnie already knows since she covered for me, and Caroline? What about Matt, and Tyler? You guys still hang around them a lot."
"Bonnie's a witch, Caroline is a vampire, and Tyler is a werewolf," Jeremy said looking at the ground, "Matt's still a human, but he knows. Stefan and his brother are vampires, and another vampire Rose is staying with them currently. There's also another werewolf in town her name's Jules." Okay this was just unbelievable. I couldn't believe that practically all of my friends were supernatural creatures or knew about them. Rose I knew had nothing to do with this, and I didn't know a Jules.
(Let's pretend that Caroline told Matt and he took it calmly, but he still didn't want to be with her.)
"You guys are unbelievable!" I shouted walking into my room and slamming the door shut. I felt the tear build up in my eyes again and I felt like my throat was being clogged. I couldn't breathe again. I wanted Elijah next to me because so far it seems as though he and Jenna were the only ones who hadn't lied to me. As if by magic I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and hold me to their chest. I wrapped my arms around Elijah and he held me close for a few minutes.
"Give them a chance, okay Abby? They were just trying to protect you," he said tilting my head up to look at him in the eyes. I nodded my head a little and hesitated.
"I know, but I still can't get over the fact that they lied to me," I told him. Elijah nodded his head understandingly and kissed my forehead and moving away from me.
"I need to speak to your sister, would you like me to come back?" He asked softly and I nodded my head vigorously. I felt safer when he was around. "I'll be back soon."
And with that he opened my door and shut it gently. I collapsed on my bed with exhaustion wearing me down, and the second my head hit the pillow I shut my eyes drifting off into a deep sleep.
Elena pov
I thought about what Abby said in the kitchen before I ran upstairs, I had to warn Jeremy that Elijah was here, and I needed to talk to him about Abby. He had been mad about this before maybe he could give some help on how to calm Abby down.
I banged on Jeremy's door loudly griping the doorknob in my hand until another was placed on mine. I looked up terrified to see Elijah standing there with an emotionless mask on his face. He placed his finger against his lips in a shushing motion just as the door opened and Elijah was safely hidden by the little space between the doorframe and the window.
"Hey Elena," Jeremy said softly, "Do you need something?" I gulped.
"Jenna wanted you to help move some boxes," I said and he nodded his head stepping out of the door before stopping. Come on Jeremy leave before you see Elijah.
"Hey what are we going to do with Abby?" He asked me his voice giving away his sadness and I frowned. I felt like crying after what Abby had said to me, even though I knew that she only said it because she was mad and also some of it was slightly true.
"I don't know Jer let's just let her cool down tonight and we'll talk to her in the morning with Damon," I said and he nodded his head before he started walking down the stairs. I turned to face Elijah.
"That was a wise decision," he told me.
"What do you want?" I asked him. I really did not want to deal with this right now.
"I think it's time you and I had a little chat," he said. We walked to my room and he started looking around and touching some of the objects next to the window, "You must excuse the intrusion I mean your family no harm."
"Then what where you doing with my sister?" I growled at him. His expression darkened and for a moment I thought that he was going to attack me.
"My relationship with your sister is something that she should tell you not me," what relationship?
"What relationship?" I asked him.
"Back to the topic on hand please," he said looking down at the window seat. I knew that I was going to get nowhere with this so I moved on.
"Why did you stop those vampires from taking me?" I asked him as he sat down on the cushioned seat.
"Because I didn't want you to be taken," he told me. "Klaus is the most feared and hated of the Originals, but those that fear him are desperate for his approval. When word gets out that the doppelgangers exist there will be a line of vampires waiting outside your door to take you two to him, and I can't have that."
"Doppelganger's, as in two?" I asked him.
"Yes, Abby is as well as doppelganger, and she too can be sacrificed. It doesn't matter which one, just as long as it's the blood of the Petrova Doppelganger," Elijah explained and I found myself temporarily frozen.
"Isn't that what you want to do? Don't you want to deliver us to Klaus?" I asked him and he lightly growled under his breath so quietly that I wasn't sure if I had heard it.
"Let's just say that's not what I want to do. I have no wish to break the curse."
"So what is your goal?" I asked.
"Klaus's obsession has made him paranoid, he's reckless. He only trusts those in his inner circle," he explained.
"Like you?" I snapped. He sat up and looked at me with an emotion on his face that I couldn't read. It was weird talking to him like this.
"Not anymore," he spoke calmly. Then I realized something, why he needed Abby and me alive and here in Mystic Falls.
"You don't know where he is do you?" I asked him. "So you're trying to use us as bait to lure Klaus here."
"Well to do that I need you to stay put and stop trying to get yourself killed," he said looking at me with an eerie smile on his face.
"How do I know you're telling the truth?" I countered backing away a step.
"Well if I wasn't being truthful your aunt and brother would be dead and I'd be dropping you off at Klaus's door."
"What about Abby, what would you do to her?" I asked curious to know his answer. I really needed to find out the relationship between these two. It was killing me not to know.
"Instead," he continued as if I hadn't asked anything, "I'm here to offer you a deal."
"What kind of a deal?" I asked intrigued by his offer. Elijah slowly stood up and walked around.
"Do nothing," I wasn't expecting that. "Do nothing, live your life, stop fighting," he said walking over to my vanity. "And then when the time is right you and I shall draw Klaus out together and I shall make certain that your friends remain unharmed. Then I kill him."
"Just like that?" I asked a hint of sarcasm in my voice.
"Just like that," he said declaring what he had said a moment ago. "I'm a man of my word Elena, I make a deal I keep a deal.
"How are you going to keep everybody safe?" I asked him.
"I noticed that your friend Bonnie had gifts, I know people with similar gifts who can assure your families safety."
"Alright but I have two conditions," I told him and he raised an eyebrow and laughed mockingly at me.
"So we're negotiating now are we?" he asked that smirk still stuck on his face.
"Yes, one you get Stefan out of the tomb," I demanded. Elijah pretended to think about it for a moment before answering.
"Fair enough and your second condition?"
"You stay away from my sister, if she had nothing to do with this. Since you're obviously not planning on sacrificing her then you keep away. She never should've been pulled into the middle of this anyway," I told him but a frown instantly came on his face.
"I'm sorry Elena, but that is not possible. The best I can offer you is Stefan's freedom," he told me walking towards the door. My brain was running at a million miles per hour. Why wouldn't he agree to that? I really needed to know their relationship.
"Fine, but know that she is on that list. She is not to be hurt," I told him.
"I give you my word." Then he left.
Review!
Love to all.
