Jeremy finished up getting ready for school, finding it odd that his two sisters hadn't gotten up yet. He hadn't seen either of them since last night, and had figured that they were both out with their own Salvatore brother.

While he wasn't too keen on Stefan and Elena's relationship, he was even unhappier about Andy's romantic feelings for Damon, but he knew it wouldn't last because Damon didn't feel the same way. Another factor was Andy's lack of knowledge about the supernatural world. As far as he knew, it was supposed to stay that way.

He went over to Elena's room first and knocked. "Hey, Elena!"

When there was no answer he opened the door to find she wasn't there. He went over to Andy's and knocked. "Yo, Andy!"

No answer again so he walked in.

Her room was so dark, decorated in black and purple, and had artwork all over the walls. There was no sign of Andy in there. Frankly her room creeped him out so he went downstairs to go to school, remembering his phone that he'd left at Bonnie's last night after she'd invited him in for a while. His sisters had probably texted him they were going to someone's house for the night.

~*•°•°•*~

A man carried Elena through a house and finally sat her on a couch. He removed the ropes from her hands and feet.

Her head was still a bit foggy, and she wasn't sure where she was or who she was with. "What do you want?" She questioned the unfamiliar man.

"Ssh," He murmured.

"Please, I'm hurt," She pleaded, her eyes moving to the blood on her shirt.

"I know," He looked up at her, meeting her eyes. "Just a taste." His face distorted into the familiar vampire look – veins popped out and fangs – and she immediately tried pulling away. However, the fangs soon retracted as another unfamiliar face, this time a woman, appeared.

"Trevor! Control yourself." The woman chastised.

"Buzz kill." He muttered, walking away from the doppelganger towards the door behind the woman.

"Go grab the other girl." the woman ordered.

"Yeah, yeah," He left the room, leaving the two alone.

"Other girl?" Elena questioned aloud. "What other girl? What do you want with me? With us?"

"Oh my God, you look just like her," The woman stared wide eyed at the look-alike in front of her as she ignored the doppelganger's questions.

"But I'm not," Elena stood from the couch. "Please, whatever you—"

"Be quiet!" The woman barked at her, but that didn't make Elena back down.

"But I'm not Katherine. My name is Elena Gilbert; you don't have to do this," She tried connecting with the woman on a human level, but it didn't seem to be working.

"I know who you are, I said be quiet." The woman repeated, her tone more threatening this time.

But the doe-eyed girl couldn't be. "What do you want?"

The woman slapped her and she felt her world being consumed in darkness once again. "I said be quiet." She stated, quite satisfied not having to put up with anymore questions, before going to check on the other girl.

~*•°•°•*~

"This has Katherine written all over it."

"Katherine's in the tomb. Trust me; I'm the one who shut her in," Damon replied to his brother. They were outside in the town square speaking of the Gilbert twins' disappearance.

"Did you?"

"Did I what?"

"Well, I know the hold Katherine has on you…" Stefan trailed off.

You obviously don't realize the hold those Gilbert girls have on me, Damon thought to himself before he replied out loud, "And Katherine's in the tomb, period. End of story…" Katherine's threatening words flowed back into his mind. "But she did say something to me right before I shut her in. I thought she was lying."

"What did she say?" Stefan demanded, his brows furrowing.

"Elena and Andy's in danger…" Damon stared off, realizing the weight of those words. He thought Katherine was just trying to save herself once again.

"What?" Stefan hissed, his patience for his older brother thinning as usual. "And you didn't think you should ask her to elaborate?"

"Everything she says is a lie," Damon pointed out. "How am I supposed to know if she's gonna start spouting out the truth?"

"We have to go talk to her," Stefan started walking away but Damon grabbed his arm.

"No, no. Let me tell you how that's gonna go: We're gonna go ask her for help, she's gonna negotiate her release which we're gonna be dumb enough to give her and she's gonna get out and kill us! This is exactly what she wants!"

"I don't really care."

"It's a bad idea, Stefan."

"It's Elena... And Andy. Last time I checked you and Andy had something." Stefan said before walking away.

~*•° Andy's POV °•*~

I felt as if I was stuck some place that was closed up. I started to stretch out when my hands hit the side of something hard. My eyes shot open and I could only see a metal ceiling… no, a lid ab with fabric, over me

Was I… Am I buried alive? Surely not…

I started thrashing and screaming, trying to break free of my captivity. My heart was racing and my breathing became ragged. Then the walls disappeared. I opened my eyes to see I was in a dark forest.

"Anastasia," A voice startled me. It was soft, a whisper. A man's voice. "Anastasia..." That wasn't my name, but I was answering to it. The voice was calling to me.

I turned toward the direction of the voice and saw a man with curly blonde hair and blue piercing eyes. His lips whispered my name again and I felt something stir in my stomach. He had soft features, with plump and pink lips that turned into a smirk as if he knew something I didn't.

He held out his hand, beckoning me forward. I reached forward, amazed at this beautiful stranger... I started to take his palm which looked so smooth until I noticed the bodies lying everywhere around us, with two puncture holes in their neck. I looked back up at him, noticing the blood around his mouth and the two fangs sticking out of his mouth. Instead of the cerulean eyes I had seen before, amber eyes awaited me.

I started backing away but he immediately followed my steps, still holding out his hand to me. I backed up quickly and tripped on something, falling into a rectangular box.

"No!" I screamed before the lid shut, once again leading me into entrapment.

My eyes flew open and I felt a scream caught in my throat. I felt beads of sweat on my forehead, and a bile in my throat which blocked the scream.

Everything came rushing to me at once. The dance with Damon, the masked man kidnapping me. My heart slowly calm down as much as it could at the realization of being kidnapped as I looked where I was, which I of course had no idea. I found myself in a huge, dusty room that had boards covering windows and white sheets over the couch I laid on. I then noticed a sleeping body.

"Elena!" I said in a hushed tone, checking her pulse and relieved when I found one. I began shaking her sleeping body, but she remained unconscious. I noticed there was blood on her shirt and quickly checked under it to find there wasn't even a scratch. She was wearing jeans and a shirt rather than the dress I saw her in last night so I knew she at least made it home before she was attacked. Did these people do this to her? Did they hurt Jenna and Jeremy? What did they want with us?

"Elena, please!" I begged, feeling tears welling up. God, I hated crying, but I couldn't help it right now.

"You okay there?"

I jumped, looking over to see a man watching me from the door.

"Who the hell are you?" I questioned, my voice shaky as I kept our gazes locked, trying to show that I was not backing down.

"Trevor's the name," He introduced himself, then gestured to Elena. "So you two are twins?"

"Yes."

"You two look nothing alike to me. She's tan, you're pale. She has all darker features; you have all lighter features."

"We get that a lot," I nodded, looking down at my sister. I looked back up at him to ask a question, but he was no longer there. I sighed, looking back at Elena and feeling tears soak my cheeks. What if she didn't wake up?

~*•° Third Person POV°•*~

Elena shot up, immediately finding she was in the same room as before, but then the other girl her captors had been speaking of was now in the room. Immediately she felt the dread come in.

"Andy!" She said to her crying sister.

"Elena!" Andy cried, immediately wrapping her arms around her. "You-you wouldn't wake up! I was afraid— "

"I'm fine, Andy, its okay."

Elena knew her sister. Her sister refused to cry, even at their parents funeral, she didn't. But the emotion on her face then was just pitiful and made you want to cry. Andy and her hadn't been able to speak for a month after the accident, because of her devastation. Elena remembered when she had to leave town for help because there wasn't anyone to help her in town. The closest she had seen strong emotion from her sister was with Damon. Well, with anyone who could help her escape her poisonous mind.

As soon as Elena said that, Andy's tears stopped. She composed herself, looking as if she hadn't even cried, the only evidence being the puffy eyes and wet cheeks. "What do they want, Elena?" She asked, staring up with her doe eyes.

Elena stood, pulling her sister to her feet. "We're going to figure that out."

"I think we should wait here instead." Andy murmured, not caring to run into whomever was out there. They slowly and quietly made their ways up the stairs, in just enough time to hear a part of their captors' conversation.

"So that's it, Trevor," the woman said. "He either got it or he didn't. We just have to wait."

"Look, it's not too late. We can leave it here. We don't have to go through with it," Trevor said.

"I'm sick of running!" They continued to walk, listening to their captors argue.

"Yeah? Well, running keeps us from dying," the man retorted.

So we're some sort of free ticket? Andy thought to herself.

"Elijah's old school. If he accepts our deal, we're free," the woman replied. Andy accidently made one of the boards squeak under her feet. The woman's head shot over as she noticed them. "You two!" She used her inhuman speed to appear in front of them. Andy jumped in the air, a small shrill escaping her lips. "There's nothing around here for miles. If you think you're getting out of this house, you're tragically wrong. Understood?"

"C-completely," Andy immediately agreed, her survival instincts kicking in.

"Who's Elijah?" Elena asked, curiosity getting the best of her.

"Your worst nightmare," She answered before walking away.

~*•°•°•*~

Elena brought Andy back to the room. "Stay here, okay? I want you to stay in here while I go figure something out," Elena said.

"No, don't be stupid, Elena. That woman crossed the room in less than a second. You're going to get yourself killed," Andy said, grabbing her sister's wrist and pulling her back. "Curiosity killed the cat."

"I'll be fine, Andy. Just please stay in here," Elena left the room before Andy could react again. Andy looked down, realizing that she was in her dress and flats still. She sighed, feeling fear wielding in her. Who the hell were these people?

"Pretty dress, by the way." She jumped seeing Trevor boarding up the windows.

"Thank you," She said as she noticed he was avoiding the sunlight. "What… What are you? If you don't mind me asking?" She asked. Her captors couldn't be human, not with the way the other one had darted across the room.

"You seriously don't know?" He asked, looking at the girl. She shook her head. He cracked a smile, turning his head away for a moment before looking back. She jumped back as his eyes turned black and they had veins under his eyes, and two fangs pointing out from his mouth.

No, it can't be, she thought as she stared at Trevor, Vampires are fake! Edward from Twilight, David from The Lost Boys, Spike and Angel from Buffy... They are just myths. But he changed right in front of me, I'd know if it was fake.

Finally, his face turned back to normal and he continued boarding up the windows.

"Vampire," She whispered, looking to the ground. "How old are you?"

He looked over at her. "A good bit over five hundred years."

She nodded, absorbing all of the information. This must be some nightmare. Still, getting out of this dream would be nice. "I'm Andy. You said your name was Trevor, right?" He nodded slowly and she gave him a smile. "Trevor. Not a normal vampire name, I suppose but it suits you."

"What is a normal vampire name, Andy?"

She shrugged. "Lastat. Dracula. Spike. Angel. I don't know. Take any name from vampires in the media."

He laughed and she joined in after a moment. He had to admit, she was very charming. "And why were you running? Who were – are – you running from? If I'm allowed to ask, of course, Trevor." She quickly added, hoping not to offend the vampire.

He was about to answer when Rose and Elena entered the room.

"Tell me more," Elena demanded.

"Captivity has made her pushy, eh? Andy over there's nicer about it," Trevor winked at Andy before looking at Elena. "What do you want to know, doppelicious?"

"Who were you running from?" Elena stood in front of her sister, uncomfortable with the way he had been looking at her.

"The Originals."

"Yeah, she said that," Elena said, a tad impatient. "What does that mean?"

"The first family, the old world," Trevor said, moving to another window. "Rose and I pissed them off."

"Mm-mm," Rose shook her head. He turned towards them.

"Correction, I pissed them off, Rose had my back, and for over half a millennium they've wanted us dead."

"What did you do, Trevor? Kill one of their pet bats?" Andy asked, earning a grin from him.

"He made the same mistakes countless others did: he trusted Katerina Petrova," Rose said, noticing the exchange between the two.

"Katherine," Elena realized.

"Who?" Andy questioned. Who was Katherine?

"The one and only, the first Petrova doppelganger," Rose said.

"I helped her escape her fate and now I've, sorry, we've been marked since," Trevor said.

"Which is why we're not going to make the same mistake again," Rose gave a pointed look to Andy and Trevor. Trevor and her then begun to exit the room.

"Wait," Elena called and they turned towards them. "Why is Andy here? She's got nothing to do with it."

"The Originals had a painting of a girl," Rose said. "I never saw it, but Trevor did."

"She was an exact replica, except she had a different style of course. They were very angry when part of the manor house burnt down, burning the painting with it," Trevor explained. "I recall the two brothers going on a manhunt for whoever started the fire."

"So, we figure Elijah will surely forgive us since we've got both of you."

"A life for a life, huh?" Andy shook her head.

"Something like that," Rose said before leaving with Trevor. Once they were gone, Elena sat down beside her sister.

"You knew what they were, didn't you? You knew about... vampires existing, didn't you?" Andy looked over at her sister, the hurt showing in her eyes.

"Andy—"

"Are you one?"

"Andy…"

"I asked you question."

"No, I'm not."

"Who is then? Jeremy? Tyler? Matt? Caroline? Stefan? Damon…?" Her voice broke at the end.

"Caroline, Stefan, and Damon are." Her sister answered after a moment. Andy felt like she was going to suffocate. Damon is a vampire. I almost kissed him… I might be in love with him, a vampire. My pre-teen self would be giddy right now. "I am so sorry I didn't tell you before, Andy, I was trying to protect you," Elena tried explaining.

"I don't want your explanations right now, Elena, I just want to go home," Andy said wearily, rubbing her temples.

"I know, we will. I promise." Elena nodded, rubbing her sister's back in comfort.

Right then, Elena noticed a random wrinkled up piece of paper. It was so out of place so she decided to pick it up from the floor... She opened it up and Andy read over her shoulder.

Stefan and Damon are coming for you both - B

Bonnie, Andy immediately knew. They looked up at each other, excitement filling them. Just then when they heard someone coming, Elena quickly hid the note. Andy was so distracted she didn't even bother to ask how Bonnie had sent that message.

Rose walked in and eyed them both suspiciously. But Trevor came in before she could scold them.

"He's here!"
