"Sometimes I feel like going down I'm so disconnected, Somehow I know that I am haunted to be wanted,

I've been watching, I've been waiting,
In the shadows for my time"

Chapter 2

When you first wake up you always think of what you have planned for that day and if you don't have plans you start to make them or just decide to go with the flow, but plans are in your mind in those first 10 seconds. Today isn't one of those days.

I open my eyes and look around, I'm laying on the floor of what looks like to be a underground structure its dark but if I look left I can see light but something is blocking it, a door I think. I continue to look at the light and start to see the rock walls and the dirty floor more clearly.

Wait dirty! I start to get up from the floor but still looking around trying to find out where I am and that's when I turn right and see her standing there looking at me with a smirk in her lips and penetrating eyes. She is so still that for a second I think she's not real but she blinks and my theory that she is actually a statue or a product of my vivid imagination goes does the drain, but like a statue she looks with her grey skin, purple lips and dark under eyes.

Eyes penetrate right through me. I look better at her and realize she is very skinny, barely only skin and bones, she must be hungry. I look at her face again and …. Oh Shit! She is Hungry! Starving! I'm really in trouble!

I just woke up in a dirty floor, I'm covered in death leafs and who knows what else, in the tomb under the church in Mystic Falls and Katherine Pierce aka Katerina Petrova is just standing there looking at me.

Here goes nothing.

"Hello." I look her straight in the eye to show I'm not afraid. Her answer isn't so polite.

"What the hell are you? One moment I'm alone and the next thing I know a strong light appears and when it fades you are sleeping on the floor."

"I'm Leo and what I am doesn't matter right now, does it?" I start to lose my confidence and courage.

"If you don't answer me, I'm going to let my instincts take over and kill you and you don't want to find out how that happens." At the last word she takes a step forward, do to her weak state she trembles a little, but never loses her smirk.

I start laughing, her face is so grey and her eyes so sucked in that when she is threatening me all I can think about is that she looks like a talking statue and it's funny, so I laugh. "I know what happens you drain me of my blood, until the last drop." Katherine looks surprised for a second, but the next second her smirk is back, she observes me and analyses me. I fell exposed and vulnerable, she is trying to solve me like a puzzle and I can almost hear her brain work, cracking me.

She takes another step forward and I realize that I need to be more careful with what I say to her. I can't die seconds after arriving here, just because I'm a smart ass with a big mouth. My heart starts to beat faster and she gives me a fast smile after hearing it and continues to approach me using the wall as support. She must be very weak and clearly starving for days now. I'm screwed. (My heart starts beating even faster.) Say something!

"Wait! Please don't drink my blood. I can help you get out of here."

She stops her movements. "How?"

"Well first I must be someone special and probably supernatural, if what you said of the light and me just showing up like that and second I know you are trapped in here by a spell, am I right?"

She looks interested."How do you know that?"

"I know who you are and how you came to be here, trapped and starving. I can help you if you trust me."

"Why should I believe anything you say?"

"I did know what you where about to do to me a minute ago. I also know you have been a vampire for more than 500 years and all that time you have been running from The Originals. Am I right?"

She looks at me and nods. "What else do you know?"

"I will not tell you anything else until you promise to try not to kill me. Can you do that? You are after all very old and strong. Can you control yourself?"

"I promise." She answers and I relax a little, she looks me up and down, "To try only."

"Of course." I say with a smirk of my own. "I can tell you that I know what is going to happen in the future, let's just say I'm a seer. What I know is limited but with my knowledge I can change the future and with that I….We can make better. Or at least try."

"So you're like a witch? Just my luck! Can you break the spell that is keeping me locked in here?" She looks at me with hopeful eyes.

"No. I'm not a witch." I say fast and loud, "I'm just a supernatural occurrence, a freak. That's how I feel right now. I'm a little overwhelmed. Can I gather my thoughts for e few minutes?"

Katherine looks and smirks. "Yeah, sure take a few minutes just don't move a lot or I will have to break my promise."

My heart still beats fast because of the stressful situation I'm in, but not because of her. I still respect her, but she doesn't scare me anymore. She is curious and wants to hear what I got to say. I take a few steps towards the dim light and can make out the door that is keeping the sun out, it's a big stone door, a rock really. I really doubt I can even move a inch of it out of place. Taking a glance behind me I see Katherine looking at me and by her look she thinks I will try to make a run for it. I'm not stupid, first I can't move the door (but she doesn't know that, for all she knows I can have super strength or something) and second even if I was strong enough she would reach me before I could break through the barrier.

I take a few breaths and start to relax to access my situation.

I'm with Katherine in what seems a couple of days in after she was thrown in, because looking around I don't see anything that looks like a book so that means Elena is probably going to show up today or tomorrow. Time is going to be a problem to keep track, because with the episodes jumps and the locations and storylines changing what I think its days can be a week or even more. I need to find out when is the next full moon so I can make a timeline. I also need to know…

STOP!

What about the part where I'm in a freaking TV Show. I scream in my mind.

How can this be possible? It's even crazier than anything I thought when the Guardian told me who I was and that my destiny was going to another reality. Wait a second. Does this mean that I could have gone to the Lord of the Rings or the Harry Potter or any fantasy world? Maybe Stargate or even Firefly now, that would have been so much cooler. I like the Vampire Diaries but not as much and now I'm really regretting not seeing every episode twice and in order. Now I'm scared I will forget something and that will result in someone death or even cause someone death.

Stop Leo! …you need to focus in the right now and in the 500 years old starving vampire.

First find out if Elena has been here and if not make her promise not to say anything about me. I need more time before the rest of the scobby gang finds out about me.

"I'm calmer now. Thank you for giving me time to gather my thoughts. I still have many questions to you as you have to me but first I have a request to make." I said turning back around to look at Katherine again.

"What request?" "I need you to pay attention to the sounds outside, because I believe today your doppelganger, Elena Gilbert, is coming to pay you a visit." If she is surprised by my statement she doesn't show it, Katherine is a master in manipulation and deceit. "I'm not even going to ask how you know that, but why is she coming to see me?" "She wants to know how you survived 500 years ago. And how you escaped Klaus?" She takes a moment looks at her feet and back at me. "Do you know?" "Yes. I know your story but my own source is you, the same conversation that is going to take place today between you and Elena." She smirks. "Maybe I lied, maybe I will lie now."

"If you don't tell Elena the truth future events will change that will make it impossible for me to help you. You need to trust your first instinct and try to forget about me." She continues to smirk and I realize she likes so see me desperate, so I try to relax and smirk back at her. "I will decide later." She says and I have to trust she will do what's best for all. " I don't hear nothing yet." She adds looking at the ceiling.

"What time do you think it is?" I ask.

"7.30 am, maybe later." I nod, "How many days? Since the night of the masquerade party." "Two."

"Did anyone come to visit?" her answer is a frown, "Maybe drink a cup of tea and discuss a certain moonstone?" her frown transformers to surprise and as fast as lightning the smirk is back.

"Don't look surprise I know almost everything that is reverent to the future of everyone that lives in Mystic Falls and their past too. I know your past and if you trust me I will make it possible for you to stop running and live in one place without having to worry about Klaus or Elijah." I can almost see her brain analyzing what I just said. Her answer surprises me.

"Ok. You have a deal."

"Great. But if you try to do anything I specifically told you not to do, I will not trust you again and consider your well being irrelevant and I would hate to have to do that. Do you understand? Now you have the upper hand but I'm more valued alive and in the future I believe I will hear you say the words thank you coming from your mouth." Katherine laughs at the last phrase.

"Is that something you have seen? Because I will only believe it when I hear it!"

"No that's not something I "saw". If everything goes as I believe it will I will change so much that in a few months everything will be different but better than any future any of you ever thought was possible. I promise you that Katherine." She nods but doesn't knowledge the words I just said to her. "I'm discovering how this works as I go." I finish.

"So you will be without your knowledge, since everything will be different." Katherine asks.

"Yeah, I guess that's true." I answer with a dry mouth after realizing that if I change important things much will change which is going to make my life difficult before it can get easier. Need to shift her focus.

"Katherine? What do I smell like, normal?" I ask in a whisper, as if be doing so it will not remember her that she is starving and I'm right there in her reach.

"If you're referring to your blood, yes you smell normal, mouth watering really, clean, fresh and like apples. It's a very specific smell." She doesn't control it and shows me her fangs and her eyes get even darker while looking at my neck.

"I'm sorry making you think about it, I needed to know." I apologize to her and she smiles and her face goes back to normal. "It's because Elena isn't coming alone." I gesture to the door and smirk. "Caroline is coming with her and leaves right after, but I can't let her smell me."

Katherine raises her eyebrows and looks impressed by my forward thinking, but If only she knew I need to be always 2 steps ahead of everyone. She starts to walk towards me and looking at the door and whispers..."Go to the back of the tunnels and use your hands to guide yourself, its pitch dark after a few meters." She passes me and continues to walk towards the entrance of the tomb. But she turns around when she notices I haven't moved a muscle and gives me a look that clearly says "Move".

I start walking towards the back using my vision and after a few steps I can't see any more I hold my hand to the wall and continue to walk, when I find a big chamber or at least I think it's a big chamber I use my hands and find a rock to seat and lead my back on the wall. I stay silent and try to hear the sounds around me, after a while I can hear low voices but can't make out what they are saying. I prepare myself to be quiet for the next eight hours or so.

This is going to be a looong day!
