While Elena was being exchanged between the human who had kidnapped her and the vampire who had ordered her kidnapping, Jeremy was being woken up by Tyler warning him that Elena's car was still in their driveway.

After he hung up his phone, he called Stefan to check if she wasn't with him and when it was sure that nobody had seen her, they asked Bonnie if she could locate her with a spell.

While Caroline, Matt and Mason did their best to help Tyler deal with things, Bonnie used Jeremy's blood to locate the area Elena was in. Using the maps on their phones, they managed to get a closer location.

"You coming Damon?" Stefan asked his brother as he was about to get out the door while Jeremy drove Bonnie home so she could rest after this spell.

"I don't know… I don't want to risk leaving Rachel alone when Elena never did anything nice towards her…" Damon replied.

"Please daddy… Can you go and help her please?" Rachel asked him.

"Are you sure?" he asked his daughter.

"Of course… You go and bring Elena back and I'll go and keep Jenna and Alaric company." Rachel decided.

.

Elena just woke up on a dirty couch in what looked like a big and dusty room. She could feel something out of place in her back pocket and when she noticed that nobody was around, she took out a piece of paper. It was a message from Bonnie, telling her that Stefan and Damon were on their way to save her. She sighted in relief and put the piece of paper back in her pocket as a young and tired looking man entered the room.

Talking a little with him, she realised she was being exchanged for the curse breaking ritual to buy the guy's freedom along with his friend Rose who entered the room barking at Trevor not to talk with her and not to get attached. They hadn't called Klaus but this Elijah that seemed to be close to him. Apparently Trevor had been the one helping Katherine escape and for a moment, Elena wondered if she would be able to use him to escape like Katherine had.

Elena didn't really know how long she had been held in this house by Rose and Trevor but at some point, someone knocked on the door and they both tensed. As she watched Rose get out of the room, she guessed it was this Elijah… Maybe she would be able to escape from him…or maybe Stefan and Damon would arrive in time to fight him off.

.

Right after Elijah beheaded Trevor, he looked back at this new human doppelganger and after being told that Katherine was trapped in a tomb, he grabbed her arm and looked disdainfully at Rose, weeping on the floor. He was about to walk out with the doppelganger named Elena when suddenly he heard a commotion upstairs.

.

Stefan and Damon arrived and while Damon killed the vampire brunette, Stefan took Elena away from Elijah. Alaric had loaded them with weapons and they used a few vervain grenades during their fight with the old vampire.

"Excuse me but to whom it may concern… If you think you can beat me, you can't!" Elijah said.

Damon, from his spot, vaguely heard Elena whispering to Stefan that his name was Elijah. If it was right, and he had every reason to believe it was, he needed to make sure he was on their side.

However, before Damon could say or do anything, Stefan quickly managed to fight Elijah off with the help of Elena and her grenade and he staked a big piece of wood through the man's chess.

"Let's go home now." Stefan said as he led Elena outside.

"Why don't you two go, I'm going to clean up here in case someone comes. I'll run back home." Damon suggested.

"Are you sure?" Elena asked him softly.

"Yeah, you two go ahead, I'll deal with this." Damon replied.

"Thanks brother." Stefan replied as he walked out with Elena and started the car.

Damon waited until his brother was far enough before pulled Elijah from the stake and laid him on the couch he had seen in the other room. After that he sat down and waited until he woke up.

He didn't have to wait long. Elijah soon opened his eyes and looked surprised to see he wasn't alone.

"You're Elijah… Finn's big brother right?" Damon asked him.

"You know Finn?" Elijah replied as he sat up, wondering what was going on.

"I know of him…I'm friend with Sage… She told me all about the Original family…"

"You took the doppelganger… Do you know what risks she's in?" Elijah asked.

"Yes, I do. Sage also told me…although she hasn't see Elena yet… Anyway… I figured it would be best to wait until you woke up to talk things out… Maybe reach some sort of deal…" Damon replied.

"Where did the other go with the doppelganger?"

"My brother took Elena back home. He doesn't know who you are, I didn't tell him… Anyway, I figured you could come home with me… I'll call Sage and ask her to come over." Damon said.

"You and Sage are close then?" Elijah asked as he stood up, wondering of Sage had finally moved on from Finn.

"Well, I met her in 1912 and she became some sort of mentor to me… We lost touch after that but we met at a mall a few years ago… I was in a...special situation and she became a close friend…she became family…" Damon replied.

"What was your special situation exactly?" Elijah asked curiously as they both walked to his car.

"It's a long story but then again, we've got some road ahead of us…" Damon then proceeded to tell Elijah, who was driving, all about his daughter and how they met Sage.

I know I skipped some part but since they are basically the same as in the show, I didn't want to rewrite it all.

I hope you liked it.
