Anna xx
I feel myself starting to stir and I'm being carried. I open my eyes and see I'm in an abandoned house and I'm laid out onto a couch. A man looks down at me. "What do you want?" I ask annoyed.
"Ssh." the guy shushes me.
"You don't know who you're dealing with."
He smirks. "Oh I do, so be quiet."
"Why is my sister here?" I ask noticing her on the other couch.
"We have our reasons but beforehand just one taste." He says as his eyes change and his fangs extract.
"Trevor, control yourself." a female scolds.
"Buzz kill." He grumbles.
I quickly snap off the cuffs and turn to the unknown female. "What do you want?" I ask boldly.
"Omg, you two look just like her." The female comments.
I see Elena start to stir and she takes in her surroundings. She sits up and sees the girl and me. "What, where, how?" She stutters.
"Good you're both awake, I want you both to be quiet." The vampire orders.
"No one tells me what to do." I argue and she growls at me. "Growl all you want, you don't want to mess with me."
"You don't want to mess with me."
"I've seen more dangerous vampires."
"Why am I here?" Elena asks scared.
"Be quiet." The female warns again.
"I'm not Katherine." Elena continues. "My name is Elena Gilbert and she's my twin please you don't have to do this."
"I know who you are, I said be quiet."
"What do you want?"
The girl slaps Elena hard across the face and knocks her out. "Nice." I praise.
She turns to look at me and a small smile forms. "I want her to be quiet, maybe that will shut her up for a while." She retorts.
"Someone needs to knock some sense into her."
A little while later I'm sitting on the couch and Elena begins to wake up again. "Good you're awake." I mumble.
"Where are we?" She asks.
"I don't know, but I would suggest to keep your mouth shut, because we're not getting away freely."
"Why are you being such a bitch?"
I scoff. "I looked around Elena, there is nothing around here for miles. So just keep quiet." I order and stand up.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm bored, so I might as well get some answers." I reply and walk away and I hear her follow after me.
I enter the hallway and hear the two vampires talking. "How are the girls?" The female asks.
"The brunette is passed out, the hot blonde is bored." Trevor responds.
The girl laughs. "You didn't touch any of them did you?"
"Give me some credit." He retorts. "So, have you called him Rose?"
So the brunette has a name. "I called one of his contacts you know how this works."
"Did you or did you not get the message to Elijah?"
"They say he got it." Rose responds?
I decide to make my presence known. "Who's Elijah?" I ask alreading knowing.
They both turn to see Elena and I. Rose walks over to us. "He's your worst nightmare." She answers.
I scoff. "Doubtful."
"Brie." Elena warns.
"Oh shut up Elena, go sulk back in the lounge room, the grown-ups are talking." I order and she just continues to glare at me.
"Why are we here?" She asks.
I raise my hands up in defence. "You keep asking me questions like I'm going to answer them." Rose retorts.
"Why won't you?"
"And there's another."
"It might be better if you just answer some of her questions. She won't stop, so my advice just tell her." I advise. "And besides we're here after all, we might as well be informed as to why we were so rudely manhandled, you could've just asked."
Rose and Trevor laugh. "Fine I personally want nothing to do with you, I'm just a delivery service." Rose answers.
"Delivery to who? Elijah?"
"Two points to the eavesdropper."
"Who is he? Is he a vampire?" Elena asks.
"He's one of the vampires, The Originals."
"What do you mean The Originals?"
"God Elena are you really that stupid to not figure that out, Originals Elena." I emphasise dryly. "Sorry about her, I got the brains."
Rose laughs. "Haven't the Salvatore's been teaching you your vampire history?"
"So know Stefan and Damon?" Elena asks.
"I know of them." Rose responds. "A hundred years back, a friend of mine tried to set me up with Stefan." Rose adds. "She said he was one of the good ones, I'm more of a sucker for the bad boys, but I digress."
"Same here." I chime in with a smirk and she smiles.
"So who are The Originals?" Elena asks again.
I smack my head in frustration is she really that dumb? "Trevor and I have been running for 500 years. We're tired, we want this to be over. We're using you two to negotiate ourselves out of an old mess."
"But why me?"
"You two are Petrova Doppelgangers. One of you is the key to breaking the curse."
"The curse? The sun and the moon curse?" Elena questions.
"Oh, you do know your history." Rose mocks.
"What do you mean one of us is the key? The moonstone is what breaks the curse."
"No, the moonstone is what binds the curse. The sacrifice is what breaks it."
"Sacrifice?"
"The blood of the doppelgänger. Brie and you are doppelgängers. Which means, in order to break the curse one of you has to die." Rose finishes and leaves us.
Elena glances at me. "You wanted to know why we were here, well congratulations, you just did." I growl and walk off.
I walk back into the lounge and collapse onto the couch. I'm suddenly thrown from my thoughts when I feel a piece of paper underneath me. I look around and grab it: Stefan and Damon are coming for you two. Bonnie xx
Bonnie must be getting better with her magic. I scrunch the note up and tuck it in between the couch cushions when Rose appears with Elena in tow. "Can you tell us more about Elijah?" Elena asks Rose.
"Really Elena are you still going on about that? Get over it, we are screwed so just let me be in peace for five minutes." I plead.
"I will when you stop being a bitch."
"I wouldn't have to be a bitch, if I didn't have you around pushing me down every moment you get." I argue and walk off.
Rose follows after me. "Why are you not frightened?" She wonders.
"I know more than Elena does, and it's going to stay that way, but the Salvatore brothers won't let anything happen to her so it's basically my head on a platter so I'm facing reality." I lie. "You're running from The Originals aren't you?" I ask. She nods. "Was it Katerina?"
They both nod. "Trevor I believe this is your part to explain." Rose directs.
"I pissed off The Originals and Rose has had my back for over half a millennium, they wanted us dead." Trevor explains.
"So you've been on the run for 500 years." I say sadly.
"What happened?" Elena asks shyly making her presence known.
"He made the same mistake countless others did: he trusted Katerina Petrova." Rose responds.
"Katherine."
"The one and only, the first Petrova Doppelgänger."
"I helped her escape her fate and now we've been marked ever since." Trevor adds.
"Which is why we're not going to make the same mistake again." Rose warns.
"If I had been running for 500 years I'd do the same thing." I admit.
We are back in the large lounge room and Rose and I are making small talk while Elena sits on the couch biting her nails nervous. Trevor suddenly enters the room. "He's here! This was a mistake." He alerts.
"No, I told you I would get us out of this. You have to trust me." Rose responds.
"No! He wants me dead Rose!"
"He wants them more."
"I can't do this. You give the girls to him, he'll have mercy on you but I need to get out of here."
"Hey! What are we?"
"We're family, forever." Trevor sighs as a knock is heard.
"You're scared." Elena notices.
"Just stay here with them and don't make a sound." Rose orders and she leaves.
"Trevor, you should flee now." I encourage.
"What?"
"He'll pardon Rose but not you, go before it's to late."
"Why do you care?" he asks.
"I care for people that have been used, and you were used by Katherine, now go."
He nods and sends me a smile and flashes off. "Why did you do that?" Elena asks me annoyed.
"Elijah was going to kill him." I answer.
"How would you know that?"
"Because he's an Original and Originals don't let people get away with things, he'll pardon Rose but not Trevor."
"But he kidnapped us." she argues.
"And you would've been kidnapped eitherway. If it wasn't Rose and Slater it would've been someone else." I argue. "Now shut up, before you make things worse."
A few minutes later Rose walks back in with a man in his mid to late 20s in an expensive suit. This must be Elijah, Klaus's older brother. From what he has told me he is noble but can be violent if needed.
Elijah looks down at us and flashes in front of Elena who cautiously stands up. I slowly stand and look up at him. He is surprised to see two of us. He sniffs Elena who stiffens and then he glances to me and walks over and sniffs me. "Human, both of you, that's it's impossible, and I have no idea how, but hello there." He greets.
"Hello." I retort.
"We have a long journey ahead of us. We should be going."
Elena looks to Rose. "Please, please don't let him take us." She pleads.
"Elena." I shush.
"One last piece of business, where is your friend Trevor?" Elijah asks Rose.
"He left." I answer.
"Why?" He asks turning to face me.
"Because I told him to. He's been running from you long enough, leave him be." I respond. "He trusted someone he shouldn't have, and now he has the chance to be free. I know you weren't going to pardon him ,just Rose, so I made him leave."
"And why are you so bold to talk to someone so much older than you?" he asks.
"I've seen worse."
"I'd doubt that but very well girls come."
"No, what about the moonstone?" Elena blurts out.
"Elena shut your mouth." I growl.
"What do you two know about the moonstone?" Elijah asks.
"Elena knows shit, but I know that you need it and I know where it is."
"And?"
"I can get it."
"Tell me where it is."
"That's not how this works." I retort.
"Are you negotiating with me?" He asks curiously.
I nod confidently and can feel him trying to compel me. "There is no need for compulsion, I can tell you freely."
He smiles and takes in my presence. "Where is the moonstone?" he asks.
"It's with Katherine or Katerina, whatever you call her these days." I answer.
"Briana." Elena warns.
"Shut up Elena, you don't get to talk."
Elijah looks amused. "Where's Katerina?"
"Where she should've been in 1864, the tomb underneath the church ruins." I answer. "She's spelled inside so to get the moonstone you're going to need a witch."
"That can be arranged."
"Good, now let Elena go and take me." I announce.
"What?" Rose and Elena both gasp in shock.
"You heard me. I gave you information, now you do something for me, let Elena go."
He takes a step closer towards me. "There is more to you that meets the eye isn't there?" He whispers.
I nod. "I'm smarter than I look."
Suddenly a lamp is heard crashing from the entry. "What was that?" Elijah asks loudly.
"I don't know." Rose answers.
"Who else is in this house?"
"It's only been us Elijah, Rose doesn't know." I confirm.
He catches my arm tightly and drags me into the entry of the house. There are two people flashing around. It's Stefan and Damon coming to Elena's rescue, how cute. He throws Elena to Rose and holds my grip tighter. "Rose?" He questions.
"I don't know who it is." Rose answers scared.
"Up here." says an unknown voice. I think it might be Stefan's.
"Down here." Damon's voice follows. Uh, I was right.
Suddenly a stake is thrown and it goes through his hand. I gasp in shock as he releases me and removes it from his hand. We look around and see Elena and Rose gone. "Brilliant leave me." I mumble.
Elijah goes towards a coat rack. "Excuse me to whom it may concern." he addresses. "You're making a great mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't." He warns. "Do you hear that?" he asks as he breaks the coat rack into a stake. "I repeat, you cannot beat me. So I want the other girl, I'm going to count to 3 or heads will roll. Do we understand each other?" Elijah asks again as he slowly walks up the stairs.
Elena appears at the top of the landing. "I'll come with you, please don't hurt my friends, they just wanted to help me out." She begs.
I try not to laugh at her as Elijah flashes upstairs. "What game are you playing with me?"
"This one." Elena answers and throws the vervain bomb in his face and it explodes.
His skin burns but he starts to heal immediately. I try not to laugh as I knew it wouldn't have hurt him, it takes a lot more than that to put an Original down. Once Elijah is healed he goes for Elena but Stefan appears and shoots him with a compressed air weapon. It doesn't hurt him, so Stefan throws the weapon away and rushes at Elijah, I move out of the way just in time as they fall down the stairs. Elijah immediately gets up as Stefan stays on the floor. He goes towards him but Damon appears and stakes Elijah, pushing him against the door planting him there. To bad that won't kill him.
Rose slowly appears from hiding and sees this and flashes off. Damon goes to chase after her. "Leave her." I shout from my position from the stairs.
"Well if it isn't miss smart mouth." Damon addresses.
"Don't you forget that." I retort playfully. "Thanks for the help by the way."
"You looked like you were fine."
"I was." I confirm. "Elena's the weak one." I grin and turn to see Elena hugging Stefan. I can see the hurt in Damon's eyes. "Hey, don't let her get you down, I know you care for her, but she isn't worth it." I whisper. He sends me a small smile. "I'm going to let you three catch up, I'll meet you in the car."
I walk to the car and take a seat on the hood. Who knows how long they'll be. A few minutes later they appear walking up the long driveway towards the car. "You know for vampires you two are very slow." I tease.
"Get off the hood." Damon scolds.
"Yes sir." I salute and slide down the front and make my way to the front seat.
"Why do you get the front?" Elena asks.
"I thought you'd want to sit with your boyfriend and catch up?" I ask smirking. "Unless you want to sit next to Damon." I tease and she huffs climbing into the back. I laugh and turn to face Stefan. "Nice to meet you Stefan."
"Likewise." He smiles.
"Well what are we waiting for? I'm exhausted and would love to get out of this dress."
"I can help with that." Damon offers smirking.
"In your dreams Salvatore, and I'm sort of spoken for."
"What! By who?" Elena asks shocked.
"None of your business." I glare.
After a long drive I'm finally home. I open the door to the house. "Brie, Elena?" I hear Jeremy's voice shout. I walk up the stairs and both Bonnie and Jeremy are there. "Are you two okay?" Jeremy asks.
"I'll live." I reply hugging him. I turn to Bonnie. "I got your message."
She starts to cry and I embrace her. "What message?" Elena asks confused.
"I found a note underneath me at the house."
"You didn't think to tell me?"
"Elena, stop it, you two are both exhausted, please no fighting tonight." Jeremy pleads.
"I'm fine Jer, don't worry. I was just worried and I guess I got distracted." I lie. "I'm going to shower, and Bonnie, thank you again."
After a hot shower I walk into my room in my towel and at my window is Damon. "Who said you could be in my room?" I ask as I take the towel off my head and my hair falls out.
"Nice towel." He compliments.
I roll my eyes. "Shouldn't you be stalking Elena?"
"I don't stalk."
"Sure you don't." I scoff. "Why are you in my room?"
"I came to see if you're alright. No one seems to realize that you're in danger too."
I smile slightly at how wrong he is. "Well that's what happens when everyone is on the save Elena train, I've lived it my whole life."
"It seems leaving helped you though."
"It did. I knew that this strong and confident person was in there but I didn't have the courage to find it." I admit. "I was always a bitch but I'm just a bitch with a different aspect on life now."
I walk towards my dresser and slip on my underwear. "Not even going to ask me to leave?" He questions.
"Nope. I love my body I'm not afraid to flaunt it."
I put on a shirt and drop my towel. "You're very confident."
"You just noticed?" I retort playfully. "I'm not shy, and it's not like you haven't seen boobs before."
He laughs. "Well I'm going to go, I just came to see how you were and I can see you're perfect in every way."
I walk up to him confidently. "I could say the same Mr Salvatore." I flirt. He takes a step closer and we are inches apart. He suddenly flashes me against a wall and kisses me. And sunk, my plan is working. "Wait, don't you like Elena?" I ask stopping the kiss.
"Who says I can't have fun?" he retorts and I shrug and kiss him again as his hands roam my body. "Wait what about your guy?"
"He doesn't need to know, and besides he lives far away, what he won't know won't kill him."
He grins and kisses me again and I mentally grin. I have him right where I want him. Suddenly I hear my door open. "Omg." A voice gasps. We stop and I turn my head to see Elena standing in my door way. "What are you doing Brie?" She exclaims.
I laugh. "What does it look like?"
"Kissing Damon."
"Well he's single so why wouldn't I, are you jealous?" I ask grinning. She huffs and stomps off. "That felt good." I say with a grin.
After Damon left and I knew the coast is clear I check my phone and see numerous missed calls and messages from Klaus. I ring him back and he picks up on the first ring. "Brie?" He answers.
"Hi." I whisper.
"Where the fuck have you been?"
"So I was kidnapped and well I met your brother today."
"Elijah's in town?"
"Not in town yet, but by tomorrow everyone in the Scooby Gang will know you're coming for me."
He chuckles. "Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine, just tired, but I'm getting people on my side, just got Damon Salvatore reeled in." I mention with a smirk as I fix myself in the mirror.
"What did you do love?"
"I may or may not have made out with him."
"You did what?" he growls.
"Calm down babe, you know I love you, but you said I had to do whatever it takes to get people on my side, and well I started to reel in Damon."
"I'm not happy about that."
"We all aren't happy about a lot of things but we move on, but if it makes you feel any better I would rather it be you kissing me and having you all over me." I reassure and hear him growl in frustration. "Someone miss me?"
"Well it's been a couple days since I've seen you and been in you."
I chuckle. "All more worth it when you eventually arrive. Does Elijah know about me?"
"No he doesn't. I haven't seen him in years and if he's coming to town, it isn't to help me."
"I'll keep you posted and keep up the games."
"Good work my love, I'll see you soon, I'll keep an eye out for you and if you are in danger, I want you to leave town."
"I'm not in danger yet, well from tomorrow I will be, but we know how that's going to turn out."
He laughs. "Get some rest love, I'll speak to you soon."
"Love you Nik."
"Love you too Briana."
