"Show me how it ends. It's alright,

Show me how defenseless you really are,

Satisfied and empty inside,

Oh, that's alright, let's give this another try…"

Breaking Benjamin, "So Cold".

Chapter 3

One hour later.

I believe it was an hour, an hour in complete darkness and hearing animals crawl on the walls and the periodic low voices of Katherine and Elena. I was getting bored and cranky, so I decided

To move to closer to the entrance tunnel, Elena would be able to see me. When I get to the corner I can hear them more clearly and actually understand them. Katherine already drunk a few cups of blood and her voice is no longer so hoarse and it's starting to get cocky and Elena is trying to appeal for her compassion and some sense of distant family, but Katherine doesn't really care, Elena is the last living descendant of Katherine that should mean something to her.

I tune out on their conversation since it's going on the right track and start to think in my next move. I know that Katherine will not let me just walk out of the tomb, so I need to count with the possibility that I'm staying here for a few days, but I need to leave there's little I can do trapped in here. It must be important for me to be here or I would have appeared in this specific location and time.

I need to make Elijah my ally and I need resources, there's little I can do if I don't have where to sleep and what to eat. When Stefan comes for Elena I will show myself to them. I hope they will listen to me and stop with the crazy plans, but I really doubt that, Elena is going on a martyr trip and little Gilbert is going to be stupid and try to come in here and take the moonstone from Katherine hands, maybe my presence will change that. After all I will be here. They are probably going to ask me to take the moonstone from Katherine. And in the next second I'm dead. Can't let that happen.

I need to let things go as normal as possible until the night of the deal, between Elena and Elijah, only then I will be able to leave. And that means that I need Stefan or Damon to come inside the tomb, so Elena makes the breaking of the spell part of the deal. I promised Katherine I would get her out, but I she will need to be compelled by Elijah will do it whenever what I ask it of him or not. He doesn't care about her enough right now. I will keep my promise to Katherine and help in the mean time from here. Or I can always tell Damon about the witches' house and how Bonnie can channel their power so that she can do the spell herself. Let's call that my plan B, a plan with many holes in it, for instance I don't have access to the grimoire with the spell that allows a witch to channel the witches' having that and much more in consideration, Plan A is still in effect.

I can always tell Damon to ask Elijah for help and to create an alliance with him, but I can't do it because of Katherine, she would hear and probably hurt me or worse before I finish explaining what's going on. I need her trust, I need her to listen to me and not kill me.

I should be terrified about the outcome of all of this, it will be the end for me and I don't even know how long I need to stay in Mystic Falls, in this reality, to help every ones lives. I should be afraid and reluctant to do anything but every time I fell doubt I just get an extra dose of energy, it's like I don't really have a choice. I need to completely embrace my new short life and live it on the fullest. All of these emotions and doubts and it have been only a few hours.

With new purpose and renewed energy I make a little list of the things I need to ask Stefan or Elena to bring for me, just spare clothes, blanket, food, water and toothpaste. If there's something I hate more than being dirty its bad breath. Maybe they will get around to bring me this things tonight if not I will find out how cold it can really get in here. I look towards the main tunnel and the light it's getting weaker, so Stefan must be about to make an appearance, better I pay attention to the conversation, so I will let myself be seen at the right time.

For the first time I hear a replaying of a scene of the original plot, it makes me realize how much I don't remember and that I need to start taking notes and to write all I can remember. Katherine is just a few steps from me and is listening to their conversation as well. He calls Katherine a liar and I can see her flinch at his words, and when he promises Elena that nothing is going to happen to her is when she tells him that she doesn't what him or anyone to die saving her. Katherine nods at me and starts walking to the entrance once again and delivers her last card. She tells us how Klaus killed all of her family just to get back at her for running, and that she found them all dead.

They are speechless for a second they feel the truth in Kat words but her next words make Stefan go all protective and logical. Kat holds the moonstone in her hands and smirks. Stefan is trying to convince Elena that she is safe and everything is going to be okay. He turns to Kat and his words full of venom hurt even me. I start to walk forward slowly and even Kat seems completely oblivion about my presence, because she just says "My freedom!"

"That's where you wrong Stefan. I don't want my freedom, because when Klaus shows up to kill us all and he will. I will be in the tomb, where no vampire will enter, because they can't get out. I will be the safest psychotic bitch in town." Kat starts to walk back and passes me I give her a smile, what I think is a reassuring smile and continue to walk to the entrance I can see him and Elena now, Stefan is with his back to me looking at Elena and she is very emotional and I can see tears in her eyes. The next second Stefan turns so fast I can't even see the movement my eyes only focus when he is already looking right at me, he looks me in the eye and then up and down my body I feel a little exposed, considering I'm wearing a pajamas, that consist of pants and a t-shirt but still fell very exposed. He looks over my shoulder.

"What's the meaning of this Katherine? What is a human doing in the tomb with you?" again with the venom in his words and features, so much I can almost feel his hate for her. When he takes a second to look back at me I can see worry in his eyes and that makes me feel good. I see Elena taking a few steps forward, also with a worried and scared look on her face, and I feel friendship and compassion towards her, she cares about a complete stranger.

"Oh my gods please help her Stefan!" Stefan has to stop her from taking the last needed step to pass the barrier. He looks at her and makes a decision turns and takes the two steps he needs to stop right in front of me. Only 50 inches between us and I can almost see his brain working and calculating his options. He can't get in grab me and just get out, so he tries the next best thing. "Please come forward and get out." He says looking me right in the eye and I can see his pupil dilating but the urge to do as he said is not there, how is that possible I don't have vervain in me. He screams looks back at Elena, "Katherine most have compelled her to stay in the tomb. I can't compel her to get out."

What? No I don't remember Kat telling me that, I guess she could have made me forget. No not possible, I trust her and I believe she trusts me in some degree.

"Oh no, Katherine Please let her go!" Elena also shouts to Katherine, "I will bring blood daily if you let her go."

I hear Kat laugh and realize she is a few inches behind me.

"I can actually see how that would be beneficial to me, but I can't compel her. I tried earlier today, she didn't even flinched." She says with a curious tone.

"What?" I say looking back, "you tried to compel me. I trusted you, but now that doesn't matter I believe I can't be compelled." I turn back to Stefan and Elena, "I just found out too." I say with a shrug off my shoulders. I realize they are getting even more agitated. "Relax you two, she didn't trap me in here, but I do believe that if I try to take another step forward she will stop me."

"Now that's true." Kat confirms. I turn and see Kat smirking at Stefan and she smiles at me, I smile back and just shack my head.

I'm going crazy! Now I make deals with vampires, starving vampires.

"Now I need to ask of you to listen to me. What I'm going to tell you guys is the truth and please don't try to be the hero and get me out of here, okay Stefan. Because I'm fine, just could use a few things, this place is cold and uncomfortable as hell, not that I know what hell is like, maybe in the future." They all give me curious gazes when I refer hell but only I know how true that actually is and make a mental note not to tell anyone about it. And just proceed to tell the three of them the bare minimum, how I just appeared in the tomb and that I know the future and that I'm here to help everyone that I feel deserves a future.

When I'm done Stefan has to grab Elena by the hand and almost drag her up the stairs, she doesn't like it that I'm alone with Katherine because she doesn't trust her and lets all of us know this by saying it very loudly. I tell her to go that I will be ok, but she is stubborn and doesn't change her mind. Another thing for me to be concerned about can't let Elena get in the tomb, because Katherine would just use her as leverage and Stefan and probably Damon would just follow her to protect her against their big bad, bitch crazy ex-Katherine.

I can tell that like Elena, Stefan and Kat are very curious and that they want me to tell them everything. Considering how much I left out I'm not surprised be this, I can feel their doubt and distrust. But deep down Elena just wants to help me and I really appreciate her concern. They leave and once again it's just Kat and me all alone and it's getting really dark, at least she isn't so hungry anymore. Now it's me that is starting to feel weak.

Review!

A/N: And let me know what you want me to change and I will try to make it happen! From 2.10 to 4.22. I plan to write an alternative with my OC (Leo) in it all the way through and maybe beyond.

A/N 2: I have a romantic pairing planned out for my OC. Maybe even a triangle. I have the next 10 chapters all written, but nothing is cast in stone until I type them to the pc. I write on paper. It takes more time but I feel more inspired, can't really explain why. But a few scenes change while I type and I also do the grammar and spelling check. My OC POV is the one I usually use. If not I will let you guys know.

A/N 3: About the lyrics in the beginning of every chapter it's the songs I'm hearing while I write or that make me feel in tune with the chapter storyline.

Kisses!
