*Yeah, I know Rose didn't come back until the end of this episode in the show, but I rather like the idea of her coming straight back to the boarding house when she left Slater's apartment.*

I must have fallen asleep during the movie, I awoke with my head resting on my father's shoulder. I groaned as I moved, my neck stiff. My father chuckled as I cracked my neck, I glared half-heartedly at him, looking around to see what woke me up. As if reading my mind my father tossed me my phone. I looked at it to see that Damon had called, waking me up.

"I need to go see Damon today, what should I tell him?" I asked frowning.

Elijah arched an eye brow, "Tell him what you wish to. He is a part of your family, even if I don't care for him too much."

I gave him a half smile, "Sure, but I'd rather not get in your way."

He kissed my forehead, "I'm going to go see the doppelgänger. She'll pass on what I tell her, just be safe."

"Always." I smiled and slipped away to shower and change.

Elijah tossed me a blood bag, when I emerged from the bathroom. "I'm guessing you won't take time for breakfast?"

I shook my head, "Not now, thank you." I ripped into the bag and drained it while checking my messages. Damon wanted me to meet and go with him to the tomb. "Guess I get to see Katherine today, that is if she's really in the tomb."

"Call me when you are done. My number is programmed in your phone."

I smiled, "Okay."

Elijah replied. "I'll be checking out of the hotel and driving to Mystic Falls today. Do try and stay out of trouble."

"I never seek trouble." I said truthfully.

"And yet you are a Mikaelson, trouble seems to find you."

I giggled, "That is the truth. I'll be careful dad." It was the first time I had uttered that word to him while fully conscious and wide awake and I wasn't sure how he would react.

Elijah stilled when I called him dad, I could tell I caught him off guard. He cracked a smile, "See you soon...daughter."

I gave him a hug and bounded out the door. I apparated to the Salvatore Boardinghouse calling for Damon. I ran into Rose before I saw Damon.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Looking for Damon, if you must know." I replied carelessly. I had picked up Niklaus' attitude when I traveled with him, learning that when you acted like you weren't worried most people backed down. People tended to let you have power when you acted like you knew exactly what you were doing, confidence was the key. Niklaus, of course had taken it a step forward and added a note of not caring. I knew one thing for sure, there was no way I was handing over power of any kind to this vampire.

"He's occupied." She said as she appraised me.

"I'll wait." I said, as I approached the bar. I searched through the bottles until I found what I was looking for, Fire whiskey. "I knew he would have some." I smirked as I poured myself a generous portion.

Rose stared in disbelief, "You come in uninvited after hanging out with the originals and help yourself to a drink. You are just asking for trouble aren't you?"

"Estelle never looks for trouble, it finds her. One of the reasons I married her, constant excitement." Damon said finally making his appearance.

"Bout time," I quirked a smile.

"Bout time you showed up." He countered.

Rose stared at us, "Married?"

"Damon here is my ex-husband. We haven't been married in 20, 30 years." I said with a smirk. "Don't worry Rose, I'm not here to stand in your way, I have a boyfriend."

"Damon and I, we aren't..." Rose started to say then she paused. "Wait, how did you know my name?"

"She was at the house," Damon said, "I sent her there."

I flopped down in a chair, careful not to spill my drink. "Yes, well I'm not sure whether to thank you for getting me mixed up in this mess or kill you." I took a sip, "You did leave me there when you collected the doppelgänger. Do tell me her name, I don't want to continue to call her doppelgänger - it's discourteous."

"Her name is Elena, and how did you know she was a doppelgänger?" Damon asked, walking over to the bar and pouring himself a glass of Fire Whiskey.

"Anyone who has met Katherine Pierce would know she is a doppelgänger." I said.

"And just when did you meet Katherine?" He asked.

"Years before you were alive Damon." I said swirling the liquid left in my glass.

"Just how old are you? What are you? How come I didn't see you at the house?" Rose demanded.

I smirked, set my glass down and vamp sped over to her. I grabbed her and shoved her against the wall, one hand grasping her throat. I am Estelle Marie Malfoy Salvatore I am half witch, half vampire. You didn't see me because I didn't wish you to see me. You don't want me for an enemy Rose."

Damon rolled his eyes, "You've proved your point, let her go."

I pouted but did as he said, "You used to be more fun, love. Now you just spoil my fun."

"How are you half vampire?" Rose asked confused as she gripped her throat. "Vampires can't procreate."

"That's only partially accurate," Damon spoke up. "Normally its true, but it seems that with a certain type of witches, that Stella here descends from, they can procreate."

"What type of witch?"

"My types of witches' magic resides inside them, we have what we call a magic core. We live in secret, and we don't need to draw of the power of nature like the witches you are used to."

"What were you doing with Elijah," she asked next.

Damon stepped forward, eyes alight with interest, "I'd like to know that myself."

"Oh, he found me after Damon knocked me out and left me." I shrugged.

"Just how is he alive?" Damon asked. "I killed him."

"Oh Damon, you really should do your research."

Damon shrugged, "That's what I have you for Stella."

I glared at him, "An original is a lot harder to kill. And no I won't tell you how to do it, as it turns out Elijah is on your side. He wants to keep, what did you say her name was, Elena? He just wants to keep her safe."

"That can't be, Elijah's loyalty is with Klaus." Rose butted in.

"Was with, not any more. Anything can happen in 500 years, Rose."

"How do you know this?" Rose challenged.

I smirked, "I traveled with Klaus in the 30's and 40's. Elijah was most definitely not there."

"How do we know you aren't with Klaus?"

I shrugged, "You don't, but I can assure you that Elijah and Klaus are not on the same side right now."

"Good enough for me," Damon said.

I raised an eyebrow that did not sound like my ex-husband, "Really?"

Damon snorted, "Of course not, but I trust you, so we'll drop it, for now."

"Of course. Now I'm here because you called. What did you want?"

Damon smiled, "I need you to visit my brother with me, keep him some company."

"Where is he?"

"At the tomb."

"You said that in your message. The one Katherine is in?"

"Yeap." Damon pooped the 'p' sound.

"How did Stefan get down there?"

"He saved Elena's brother who was getting the moonstone from Katherine."

"What?!"

Damon explained that Elena's brother had put Katherine to sleep for a few minutes using some concoction their witch friend had come up with. He was going to retrieve the moonstone and get out, but Katherine woke up and caught him. Stefan came along at that point looking for him, and rushed in to save him.

"Only problem is once a vampire goes in, they can't come out." Damon said.

Damon took me to the tomb, something told me Rose was not happy that I was there. She had stayed at the house while Damon took me to the tomb.

"So I don't understand, why did Katherine have the moonstone in the first place?" I asked.

"Long story, basically she blackmailed it out of us. Her witch turned on her, because she was related to our witch. So we had our witch trap her in the tomb, after stopping her. We let her keep the moonstone as a consolation prize."

"Until you found out you needed it."

"Pretty much."

We reached the tomb and Damon allowed me to go first, I walked down into darkness, I was glad my eyes adjusted quickly. Damon was right behind me, and once down the steps he turned on a camping lantern.

"So where does the boundary spell begin?" I asked curiously.

Damon pointed over to a door. "Stefan." He called.

Stefan walked over, with Katherine following behind. "Damon." He smiled when he saw me. "Hello Stella."

I smiled back, "Hello Stefan."

"Estelle." Katherine asked in shock.

"Hello Katerina. Fine mess you found yourself in this time."

"Well, you know, gotta keep life interesting." She shrugged. "Gotta laugh though, I escaped being in here for a century and end up in here anyway."

I frowned, "You never were in the tomb. Damon, love you left that part out."

"Sorry Stella dear, not like we've had a chance to talk with you hanging out with Elijah." Damon snapped back.

"Well, love. You were the one that left me when you rescued Elena." I replied back snappishly.

"Hanging out with Elijah?" Stefan asked.

"Elijah found me after Damon knocked me unconscious and left me there." I shrugged.

"He wouldn't let you leave?" Stefan guessed.

"Not that first night, he wanted information. Which I couldn't give him because I had temporary amneasia, after that I just hung around. Honestly I've been dying to meet him for years."

"It's true!" Katherine gasped out loud.

"What's true?" Stefan asked.

"Estelle is Elijah's daughter."

I stared at her in surprise, "How do you figure that?"

"I ran into your mother once, she's the one that told me. I honestly thought she was lying, but now I remember how much you wanted to meet your father."

Damon grabbed my arm and threw me into the tomb. "Damn it Katherine." I snapped at her. She shrugged.

I turned to Damon, "Really?"

"Sorry Stella, baby. I'm just not sure I can trust you."

"There's something wrong when your ex-husband no longer trusts you anymore." I snapped at him.

"And even if I could, you have a tendency to find trouble, staying in here will keep you safe." Damon continued as if he hadn't spoken.

I glared at him. "How are you even sure it will contain me?"

"I guessed. You are half vamp after all."

I tried to walk out and couldn't do it. "Damon, I love you, but you'll pay for this," I threatened.

"Of course you will," Damon sneered at me. "By the way, you won't be needing this for now." He held up my cell phone, I wasn't even sure how he got it.

I growled and vamped out hissing at him. I tried to take the spell down but I couldn't. It was complicated and it would take time to find the loophole. Damon just laughed at my efforts and started talking to Stefan about Elena being confined to the house, I smirked, seems my father would find it very easy to find the doppelgänger.

"Oh Damon, you gave no idea what you have done." I said quietly.

Damon and Stefan ignored me and Katherine looked at me knowingly. "So tell me Estelle, does he know? What was his reaction when you told him?"

I pulled Katherine deeper in the tomb as Damon wrapped up his conversation with Stefan, who soon joined us. I settled on to tell her what happened and catch-up about what she had been doing over the years. I knew my father would come looking for me sooner or later, and I knew he would look here first because I told him where I was.
