Thank you so much for all the comments, I really do appreciate them. Sorry I haven't updated in a while, my classes got switched around, and I was going hectic to get all of my work in on time. I'm trying to update my stories more quickly. Again, I apologize for being slow at this. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy it.
Just to clarify:
Klaus' first love is indeed Tatia, and she was supposed to come up in other chapters, as well as this one. Jenna is still alive, as well as Alaric. Katherine is still on the run with Klaus, and Finn, Kol, and Klaus' mother are all still in the caskets. These 'flashbacks' that Klaus keeps having is his memories of the past. Trying to tie together the story. Yes, Klaus does know that the Doppelganger may concieve his children, as well.
Klaus
"Is that why you love me, Nicklaus?" She shouts at me from across the room. "Is that why you think you love me?"
I look up from my drink, and give her an exhausting expression. "Will you just tell me what the hell is going on, Katherine?"
Katherine threw another pile of clothes, from the dresser, into the trunk laying on the bed. "Stop pretending like you don't know Klaus. Your father told me everything!"
Taking another swig of the cheep alcohol, I stood abruptly, throwing it across the room. Watching as it shatters into pieces across the wall behind her, I begin to shout. "My father?" Using my vampire speed, I flashed in front of her, causing her to cower into the corner. "When the hell have you spoken to my father? What did he say?" I then gripped her neck, as she coughs and struggles beneath my hold.
"Nicklaus!" Katherine gasps. "Please, you're hurting me!"
Giving her half of a smile, I move my lips to her ears. "Tell me what I want to know, Sweetheart."
"This morning," She gasps. "In town!"
"What were you doing in town?" I ask, shocked. I never allow her into town, for my enemies lie hidden in the shadows.
"Our wedding, Klaus? Have you forgotten? I needed to get a dress."
I pass aside her comment, of course I haven't forgotten. "What did he say, Love?" I ask getting impatient.
"He told me about Tatia!" She paused, "You loved her." I gapped at her and released my grip, sending her falling to the floor. "He told me she died, and-" Katherine stopped speaking abruptly, hiding her face in her hands.
I peer down at her, bending to her level. Taking her chin in my hands, I force my eyes to dilate. "What else did he say?"
"-And if I don't leave soon, before the wedding, I will have the same fate." A tear fell from the corner of her eye. "He said I'll die as well."
I swear under my breath. Michael's found me, again. Looking back at Katherine, I couldn't help but notice that she still had something else. "There's more."
She nods. "I'm pregnant."
I awake to a sudden movement beside me. Rugged breathing fills my ears, as well has her pleas for help in my head. I almost feel sorry for her, no I actually do. I knew exactly how she feels, being brought into the world with a destiny she doesn't have a say in, nor a choice. I took her from her family, for the purpose of starting over in life. I wanted finally to settle down. To build a new family. But it doesn't work without the doppelganger. I knew that, as well as she did.
Elena
My eyes seem to open before my mind does. Taking in breath after breath as if I can't get enough air in my lungs. The memories flooding through my head, as if they were played as a horror movie on the big screens.
"Morning Love." A cheery British accent says from beside me. I jump, causing myself to fall off the bed, but I don't hit the floor. A strong pair of arms catch me, bringing me to a sitting position on the bed. "Careful, you could've broken something." He says with a smirk, and helps me into a sitting position on the bed, then sitting next to me.
"Like you care," I mutter under my breath, and move to make space between us.
Klaus stands on his feet and bends down in front of me, grabbing my hands in his. "Get dressed. Nothing to fancy, but something comfy." He cocks his head, "I'm taking you out to see a few things." He exits the room and I hear his footsteps retreating down the stairs.
I get to my feet and lazily make my way toward the door, but an invisible field holds me back. What the? Then I remember. Turning around, I mumble. "Screw this. Why should I listen to that bastard?" And lay back down on the bed. Klaus' footsteps keep coming back toward the bedroom, and soon he was pulling me off the bed, gently.
"What are you doing still in bed?" He asks, holding me up by my upper arms, forceful.
"You compelled me last night, remember?" I spat.
"Hmm...I see how that would be an issue, but there's no need to leave the room to get dressed." Klaus let's go of my arm, letting me fall back onto the bed. I watch as he walks to an alternate door to the right of the large window. Then he stops and looks back at me. "Come here, Love."
"Stop calling me that!" I Shout, but slowly I get up, to see a closet filled with his stuff to the right, and mine to the left. A walk in closet, filled to the rim with clothing!
I look over to see Klaus leaning against the closet door frame, smiling down at me. Gesturing me to go in, he retreats back toward his favorite spot at the window. I dig deeper into the closet to find the one outfit I'd always loved as a kid! How would he know that? I grab the clothes off the rack and dress right inside the closet.
Klaus
My Doppelganger.
She looked like a fucken angel.
Elena came out of the closet dressed in a floor length, black, Satin dress; a slit running up her right leg, and stops right at her thigh. I felt under dressed compared to Elena's outfit of choice, but a simple black suit would do for what was coming up next.
Elena
Why am I being so...compliant. I should be fighting his every move. I should shoot him with a poisoned Vervain arrow for what happened yesterday. No, a part of me seemed to feel...sorry for him. He's all alone. He gave up his own sister to save my life. And for what? What was his alternative plan for me? He hasn't tried to dig for my blood yet. What did he want?
"Come, Love." He says walking out of the room, then stopping to hold his arm out for me. I start walking for the bedroom door, expecting to be thrown back once again, but am successfully able to get through. I start rushing down the stairs ahead of Klaus, but his arm wraps around my upper arm, holding me back. "I can't have you running off too far, can I?"
I sigh as he leads us outside, and once again breaking the compulsion so I could exit the house. Leading me into a different black Camaro, Klaus got into the driver's seat and pulled away.
I must've drifted off, because soon later Klaus was shaking me awake. "'Lena, up and at 'em. We have to get in there."
Looking out the window I realize he drove us into Mystic Falls, we're at the church. But why would we be at the church? I look back to Klaus, but he has me in a death grip. "I'm sorry," His eyes dilate. "You have to stay by my side no matter what happens. You're not to speak, unless I give you the permission to. You're not to make a scene."
Getting out of the car, I immediately follow next to Klaus as he takes the stairs up to the balcony. My palms begin to get sweaty, for I have no idea what's going on. What am I doing here? What is Klaus doing here? Walking into the church, I hear talking going on and as we're walking farther in, I see Stefan up on the stadium. Klaus grabs my hand and sits me down. The balcony is abandoned, except for us.
"She was the most respected person of all Mystic Falls." He was saying. "Elena Gilbert wanted the world, and we're just devastated she's not able to be here for it."
I look at Klaus, and see his reaction back at me. Yes, It was my funeral, and he knew it all too well.
