The only thing on Emily's mind as she rushed through the entrance of Mystic Falls Hospital was if Elena and Caroline were okay. She hadn't been this afraid since the accident that took her parents away. Emily quickly jogged towards the receptionist desk once she reached the lobby and swiftly asked the older woman, "where is Elena Gilbert's room?"

The older woman looked up at Emily with a friendly smile before she began to type on the old grey desktop that was beside her. Emily could feel every emotion in her body as she tapped her foot impatiently as she waited. Finally after a few seconds, which felt like hours for the brunette, the woman responded politely, "Miss. Gilbert is in room 205."

Emily didn't bother responding to the older woman before she ran through the hallways as she looked for the three digit number. But as she was looking, so spotted two of her friends, so Emily knew she was in the right place. "What happened?" Emily breathed out as she ran towards Bonnie and Matt.

While Bonnie pulled the brunette into a bone crushing hug, Matt answered from a squeaky chair that was in front of the hospital room as he shook his head sadly, "it's not good, Emmie."

"What the hell happened?" Emily questioned as she looked at the blonde with her eyes widened.

Matt rubbed his eyes tiredly before he began to explain, "we were driving and Tyler heard this noise..."

"A noise?" Bonnie asked softly.

But Matt barely heard the brown eyed girl as he continued, "he got this migraine or something and he lost control of the car and... I thought Caroline and Elena were okay and then... and then they weren't."

Emily couldn't even think straight as Matt explained what happened to her sister and best friend. The only thought was that she needed to see the two girls that meant everything to her. Emily stood up from the chair that she was seated in and looked between Matt and Bonnie as she questioned, "where is Elena? I need to see her."

"Emmie..." Bonnie spoke softly.

Emily knew that tone of voice and it was never good. "Where is she, Bonnie? I need to see my sister!" She felt her heart rate speed up as she worried about her twin. Emily felt like she was in another world as she couldn't help Elena while she was hurting.

Bonnie grabbed the brunette's shoulders as she looked into Emily's eyes and spoke softly, "Emily, it's going to be okay. Elena and Caroline are both in surgery." She looked at her friend with glossy eyes as she added, "you can't see her right now."

Emily nodded her head silently as she felt her bottom lip tremble as she pictured her twin sister, her other half, laying on the operating table. Before Emily knew it, Bonnie quickly pulled her into a tight hug as she felt warm tears streaming down her face.

Once Bonnie felt the oldest Gilbert calming down, she grabbed Emily's hand as she turned towards Matt. "We're gonna go get some coffee, we're going to need it," she explained before the two girls walked down the hallway.

As they turned the corner away from Matt, Emily pulled her hand from Bonnie's and turned towards her friend. "Do you think you can do some type of spell to help them?" She questioned desperately.

But before Bonnie couldn't even open her mouth, a voice spoke from behind them. "She doesn't know how," Damon stated as he walked towards the two girls before he looked over at the Bonnie, "do you?"

"No," Bonnie mumbled, "I don't."

"No, you don't because it took Emily years to learn a spell like that," Damon stated as he glared down at Bonnie as he spoke about her ancestor.

"Well, I can take down a vampire, that spell was easy to learn," Bonnie commented with a small shrug.

Emily shook her head as the two continued to glare at each other. "There has to be something we can do," she spoke as she looked between the witch and the vampire.

"I can give both of them some blood," Damon suggested.

Emily looked over at Damon with her eyes widened, "no! Definitely not!"

Damon shook his head quickly as he explained, "no, just enough to heal them. They'll be in the hospital and it will be out of their systems in a day. It will make them better, Emily."

As Emily struggled internally as she thought about giving her sister and best friend Damon's blood, Bonnie responded quickly, "do it."

"Bonnie!" Emily gasped. She shook her head, "this could make everything worse!"

"Or it could make them better," Bonnie stated. She looked into Emily's green eyes as she spoke, "this is Elena and Caroline, we have to do it."

Emily stared at her friend for a moment before she turned to Damon as she nodded her head and spoke quietly, "do it." Emily didn't want to put the two girls in danger, but she knew Bonnie was right, this could save their lives, and what could possibly happen in 24 hours?

Damon nodded his head before he turned towards Bonnie and spoke, "if I do this, you and me, call a truce?"

"No," Bonnie stated. "But you will do it anyway, because it's Elena life that's in danger."

Before anyone could speak, Bonnie glanced over at Emily before she nodded her head and walked away. Emily didn't have time to think about what Bonnie meant, there was just too many things that were more important. So once Bonnie walked away, Emily turned towards Damon in a serious manner as she spoke, "we have a problem."

Damon rose an eyebrow at the oldest Gilbert girl, "and what problem is that?"

"A vampire problem," Emily mumbled quietly.

That gained Damon's attention quickly as he questioned, "when? What happened?"

Emily sighed, "well a vampire was in the house and tried to kill uncle dearest, and..."

But before Emily could finish explaining what happened, Jenna walked up quickly towards the duo. "Emily! I came as soon as I could. What happened? You only said to come down here as fast as I can."

Emily closed her eyes as she took a deep breath, she totally forgot about Jenna. She only called her aunt and told her that there was an accident as she rushed to the hospital. "Jenna," Emily spoke softly, "uncle John got hurt tonight at the house, but that's not the only thing that happened." She took a deep breath before she explained, "Elena got into a car accident earlier tonight, she's in surgery right now."

Jenna gasped as she looked at Emily in shock. She quickly pulled her niece into a tight hug before she pulled away in confusion. "That can't be right... because I saw Elena before I left for the fire department," she explained.

"The fire department?" Emily questioned confusingly.

Jenna nodded her head, "yeah, I told Elena to tell you."

Emily shook her head, "no, you didn't. She didn't say anything."

Jenna nodded her head, "yes I did."

Emily was about to argue back with her aunt before her eyes widened. She totally forgot about what happened before she received the phone call from sheriff Forbes. Emily tried to keep her cool as she gave her aunt a small smile, "I might have forgot." She furrowed her brows falsely as she looked at her aunt, "she must have gotten in the accident after you left."

"Oh, you got to be kidding me," Damon groaned out loud.

Jenna looked over at Damon in confusion before she turned back to Emily and touched her arm softly, "I'm going to go see if I can get any news."

As soon as Jenna walked towards the receptionist desk, Emily looked over at Damon and spoke quickly, "that vampire problem I was talking about, might be your problem."

Damon clenched his jaw as he nodded, "yeah, I kinda figured that out."

Emily crossed her arms over her chest as she spoke the one name that no one wanted to hear, "Katherine."


Emily sighed once she unlocked the door of the Gilbert house as she and Damon walked through the entrance. But Emily froze in her spot when she saw Stefan slowly getting off the hard ground in the living room. "Stefan?" She questioned, "what happened?"

Damon looked around the room before he realized, "Katherine happened."

Emily rolled her eyes as she looked at the mess Katherine created in her living room. This woman was already causing so much trouble and it hasn't even been twenty four hours yet. As the two vampires and Emily moved towards the kitchen, Damon questioned his brother, "did she say what she wanted?"

Stefan shook his head, "no."

"Woman certainly knows how to make an entrance," Damon mumbled.

"She said she fooled one of us, at least," Stefan spoke as he look at his brother, "what does that mean?"

"She pretended to be Elena, too, when I showed up earlier tonight," Damon responded as he stared at his brother.

Emily's brows furrowed as she looked over at Damon. What was he doing here at the house with Elena? But that was honestly the last thing on her mind as she looked between the two brothers. "Katherine was here, she was invited in this house. What are we supposed to do?" She questioned in worry for her family.

Damon shrugged, "move."

Emily rolled her eyes, "thank you, Damon, that's so helpful."

"Katherine wants you dead; there's zero you can do about it; you would be dead but you're not," Damon explained, "so, clearly she has other plans."

Stefan nodded his head, "right and we need to find out what those plans are." He looked at Damon pointedly as he added, "and not provoke her in the process." Stefan continued to look over at his brother as he questioned, "what happened tonight when you thought she was Elena?"

Damon smirked before he shrugged lightly as he spoke, "to risk another frown line on a very crowded forehead. We... kissed."

Stefan glared at his brother as he questioned, "what do you mean you kissed?"

"Well, you know, when two lips pucker and they go," Damon explained before he puckered up his lips to demonstrated a kiss.

But before Emily could even blink, she saw Stefan rush towards Damon, which caused the older Salvatore to stand directly behind her. "Don't be obvious, Stefan," Damon smirked.

As Emily noticed that Stefan was about to rush towards Damon again, she quickly stood up and moved between the two brothers. "Enough!" She yelled. "We don't have time for this. Obviously Damon didn't kiss Elena since my sister is sitting in a hospital bed. We need to focus on Katherine," Emily stated.

Stefan nodded his head as he stared at Damon, "later."

Emily began to pace the length of the kitchen as she thought about everything that happened. She shook her head as she spoke, "John has to know something, the woman did try to kill him."

"She's Katherine," Damon stated, "she loves to play games and you're fooling yourself if you think you're going to find out what she's been up to before she wants you to know."

Stefan shook his head, "no, actually Emily is right, John could know something through Isobel." He looked down at Emily, "your mother, she was in touch with Katherine so maybe we can go the hospital and get him to talk."

Emily nodded her head, "I need to check on Elena and Caroline anyways."

"I've got a better idea," Damon commented.

Emily rolled her eyes, "and what's that, Damon?"

"I'm just gonna ignore the bitch," Damon smirked, "see ya."

Emily crossed her arms over her chest as she stared at Damon. "And you think that's going to work?" She questioned.

Damon shrugged, "if Katherine thinks she's being ignored, it will lure her out, she'll make a move."

"Yeah?" Stefan questioned, "then what?"

"Stake her, rip her head off, something poetic," Damon suggested before he walked towards the door, "we'll see."

Emily sighed as she slid down the wall as she watched Damon leave the Gilbert house. They was just so much stuff happening all at once, while someone was walking around Mystic Falls with the same face as her twin sister. If Damon is right about Katherine, Emily knew that they were in more danger than if it was just the tomb vampires.

"You okay?" Stefan asked softly as he bent down so he was eye level with the Gilbert girl.

Emily looked up at Stefan with a tiny smile as she shrugged and whispered, "I don't know."

Stefan reached for her hand and spoke softly, "everything will be okay." He pulled her up from the ground before he spoke again, "get some sleep. We'll go see Elena and Caroline in the morning and we'll find out what Katherine is planning."

Emily nodded her head with a small smile before she and Stefan made their way to the front door. Once Stefan left the Gilbert house, she sluggishly made her way up the stairs. But as Emily made her way to her bedroom, she paused before she headed for her brother's bedroom instead. She slowly opened the door, and saw Jeremy sound asleep. Emily quietly slid off her ankle boots and threw her jacket on Jeremy's desk before she softly laid next to her brother. She wrapped her arm around Jeremy's stomach as laid in peaceful silence. Emily just wished her siblings would be okay, with Jeremy trying to turn into a vampire and Elena getting into a dangerous car accident. But one thing Emily knew for sure was that tomorrow she had to be stronger than she ever had to be, there was no time to be weak with Katherine in Mystic Falls around her family and friends.
