It took about fifteen minutes of the two vampires, Damon and Elena, and the human doppelganger confusingly and worryingly standing in the middle of the foyer of the Salvatore boarding house as they all thought of where the ill vampire could be before they finally rushed out of the large estate. They swiftly jumped into Damon's blue Mustang and drove to the one place that would hold the most fresh blood for the out-of-her-mind vampire; The Boaster Club Barbecue - thanks to the ever so helpful vampire-hating sheriff of Mystic Falls. Caroline's mother, Liz, had called Damon while they had tried to think of what they were going to do and told the Salvatore that they had a dead body - which they all knew could only be caused by the erratic and hungry Rose.

Currently, Emily and Elena were leaning against Damon's car while they secretly watched the aforementioned vampire speak to the sheriff about the body that her deputies had found. The human girl had began to become nervous by just standing there. The parking lot was filled with just too many students and their families which caused the human girl to fear that Rose could kill someone else.

The Gilbert girl couldn't sit still for any longer, so she ignored the confused expression her sister was giving her before she quickly pulled out her cell phone. Emily then went to her recent calls and swiftly pushed on the one that said, 'Steff ,' before she brought the device to her ear. Emily immediately sighed when she only reached the vampire's voicemail before she turned her back to her twin and began to leave a message, "Stefan, I don't know where you are. Elena's here with me, so I thought you would be done with the Isobel thing by now. Anyway, it's important. Call me or come to the school. Love you."

Emily huffed out another sigh once she ended the call before she moved back to stand beside her sister, who immediately linked their fingers together to give Emily some comfort. The human doppelganger gave Elena a thankful smile and squeezed the vampire's hand before Emily focused her gaze back to the front, where she noticed Damon speed walking towards them.

"Does Liz know where she is?" Emily swiftly interrogated once the Salvatore vampire had gotten back from his chat with the sheriff. The human girl was sorta hoping that her best friend's mother didn't find Rose as she knew that would mean she's dead. But then again, Emily didn't want anymore people to get hurt by the frantic vampire.

Damon silently shook his head as his blue eyes scanned through all of the human teenagers for the vampire that he just couldn't seem to find. "Nope," the Salvatore vampire finally mumbled before he looked down at his girlfriend's sister and questioned, "you got your stake?"

The human girl pushed her hand into her leather jacket and pulled out the wooden weapon before she stated, "I'm ready," while she ignored the worried look her twin sister was giving her. Emily didn't have time to argue with Elena about this when it was partially her fault that Rose got out as she had hid in Stefan's bedroom. She just wanted to find Rose as soon as possible without causing anymore death for the town of Mystic Falls.

"Emmie, I don't think -" Elena had began to disagree with her human sister coming with her and Damon to find the ill vampire. However, she was soon interrupted before she could even try to convince Emily to stay behind.

"We don't have time for this, Lena," the human girl told her sister with a serious look as this was what she was trying to avoid. Emily loved that her sister was protective like she is, but this wasn't the right time. "We need to find Rose, so worry about me later," the brunette girl told Elena before she gave the Salvatore vampire a small nod and swiftly followed after him with Elena catching up from behind.

The two vampires and the human doppelganger then began to speed walk through the Boaster Club Barbecue with only Damon and Elena listening for any sounds of struggle or the smell of fresh blood. Thankfully, it only took the Salvatore vampire less than two minutes before he finally pinpointed to where Rose was located.

While the Salvatore vampire sped off to find Rose, the brown eyed Gilbert swiftly latched her arm around her sister's waist before she took off with her vamp speed to follow after Damon as Elena figured Damon must have heard the ill vampire. However, once Emily and Elena came to a stop, a gasp instantly escaped their lips at what they saw. There on top of a car was a dead body of a guy in his early twenties and a woman, who's body had just been tossed to the ground after the sick vampire had hungrily ripped her throat out.

It seemed like everything began to move in super speed for the human girl once she and her sister arrived at the scene because one moment she was watching Rose drink the woman's blood before she saw Damon and Elena holding the sick vampire down on the hard ground while Rose tried to fight them off. "Stop!" Emily heard Damon shout to get the vampire to calm down from her hungry and angry trance once the human girl could finally see what was going on, "Rose! It's me! It's Damon!"

Thankfully, the sound of the Salvatore vampire's voice was what Rose needed to hear as her face finally went back to its human form now that she had control of the monster inside that had been surfacing these last few hours. Rose then began to frantically look around now that she wasn't blacking out before she noticed a young woman on the ground. The vampire's brows instantly furrowed before warm tears began to rain down Rose's face as she frighteningly questioned, "did I do this?" However, when Rose didn't get an answer, she hurriedly began to shake her head while the two vampires released her arms. "I never meant to hurt anyone. I never wanted to hurt anymore," Rose continued to cry out as she realized she had killed someone.

Damon looked down at the sick vampire with sorrow in his blue eyes as he wished he could have found a cure for her. "I know. I know," the Salvatore vampire whispered as he leaned down and squeezed Rose's hand to offer some sort of comfort for the crying supernatural being.

"It's okay," Elena added to what Damon had said to the hysterical vampire. The brown eyed Gilbert knew from seeing it first hand of the pain Rose has been experiencing since that wolf had jumped through the window in the living room at the boarding house. Elena felt horrible by just watching the vampire go through so much agony from the bite.

The crying vampire turned her head to the right to avoid the pity gazes as she couldn't stand it before her teary green eyes landed on the one person she felt the most guilt for. "I'm sorry," Rose cried out even louder as she locked her eyes with the human Petrova doppelganger's, "I'm so sorry."

The Gilbert girl slowly dragged her white Vans across the concrete of the parking lot as she shook her head at the hysterical vampire. Emily firstly placed the stake back into her jacket pocket before she placed her bare knees onto the hard ground and sat beside Rose. She then reached for the vampire's bloody hand as she whispered to console the supernatural being, "everything's going to be okay. I forgive you."

Rose nodded her head in a fast motion as she needed the human girl to not hate her before she lightly squeezed Emily's hand as if she was afraid she was going to harm the doppelganger again. "I'm so sorry," Rose uttered as she continued to apologize like it was the only words she knew.

"Come on," the Salvatore vampire exclaimed as he interrupted the mantra that Rose kept repeating as he knew they needed to leave before the sheriff and her deputies spotted them with two dead bodies. Damon then slowly began to pull the sick vampire from the ground as he mumbled, "let's get you home."

Rose quickly began to fight Damon's hold on her as she hurriedly uttered, "no, I don't have a home." The vampire then began to cry, once again, as she mourned for all that she had lost. The parents that died to disease in the fifteenth century, the best friend and sister she had lost in Darina and for Trevor. It all just began to come out as she heart brokenly wailed, "I haven't had a home in so long." The emotional vampire squeezed her eyes shut as she couldn't handle the pain anymore before she begged, "oh, make it stop. Please make it stop! I hate it! Make it stop!"

The human girl's face was filled of sadness as she watched the Salvatore vampire pick up the crying Rose as she finally realized that this was really the end. The werewolf bite wasn't going to get any better like Emily had prayed. This was the end of another person she had cared about.

"Hey," the Gilbert vampire whispered after a moment of watching Emily stand there in silence before she walked up to her saddened sister with pain in her own eyes. Elena then wrapped her arm around Emily's waist as Damon had began to walk away with the sick vampire. "Let's go," Elena whispered before she forcefully moved her sister from the spot where Rose had just laid.

Emily held onto her sister's arm tightly the whole time as they moved back to the blue Mustang with unshed tears clouding her green eyes. The only thought that was running through the human girl's mind was just how sorry she was for Rose to get trapped in this mess. Emily knew she only got bit because Rose was sticking around in Mystic Falls to help them - like the vampire had said she wouldn't. Here's to another life I couldn't save, Emily toasted to herself as she slowly walked with her twin sister by her side for comfort that they both needed at a time like this.


SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

"Are you sure about this?" Elena interrogated her twin sister for the third time with her brows deeply furrowed as she and Emily stood in the middle of the hallway in the boarding house. The Gilbert vampire had tried to keep her sister from watching Rose take her last breath, but Emily had begged and said this was something she had to do.

Emily nodded her head as she squeezed her twin sister's hand that was linked with her left one. The Gilbert girl had told Rose she would never be alone with her, so Emily was at least going to keep her promise. "I'm sure," the brunette girl whispered before she and Elena slowly began to walk into the older Salvatore's bedroom, where they both saw the sick vampire lying down with Damon sitting beside her.

The werewolf-bitten vampire was the first one to catch sight of the two sisters as Damon's back was to the door. "I'm sorry, Emily," Rose immediately apologized, once again, to the human girl. She shook her head as she explained once the Gilbert twins moved further into the bedroom, "I don't like taking human life. I never have."

Damon swiftly turned around and glared at the two sisters once he heard the human girl's name leave Rose's mouth. "You guys shouldn't be here," Damon snarled. The Salvatore vampire had told Elena to take her sister home for the night when they arrived back at the boarding house, so he was definitely annoyed that she didn't listen.

"It's the worst part about it," Rose continued as she stared up at the ceiling while she ignored the angry tone in Damon's voice before she listed, "the hunt, the need to kill, the thirst, the pleasure it brings you afterwards." The ill vampire then moved her eyes to the caring green ones of the human girl as she mumbled, "I wasn't meant to be evil. It hurts."

"Well, stop talking about it," Damon commanded as he crossed his arms over his chest while he stared down at the ill vampire. The Salvatore rolled his blue eyes in annoyance of all of this gloom before he silently made his way to stand beside his girlfriend and her sister.

Elena immediately slapped her boyfriend's upper arm along with giving him a glare as soon as Damon stood to her left. The Gilbert vampire knows Damon cares about Rose and about what is about to happen to her, but he always just puts up this front to act like he actually doesn't.

"Damon's a lot like me," Rose interrupted the deadly silence as she looked over to the three figures by the wall with her green eyes squinted. "He wants to care but when he does, he runs away from it," the ill vampire told the Gilbert sisters.

The Salvatore vampire wrapped his arm around Elena's waist tightly and placed a kiss on her forehead when he noticed the worried look on her face. "I've grown," Damon grumbled as he knew Elena has her doubts about their relationship with his history. He definitely didn't want what Rose was sickly blabbering about to ruin that.

Rose silently watched as the Gilbert vampire's face turn soft at the act of Damon defending their relationship with a content smile. The ill supernatural being had thought when she first met the Salvatore that he had the flip switched, but after these last couple of days in the boarding house, Rose had seen just who Damon really is. He puts up this high wall, but in reality, he just loves so strong and she could see that when he's around Elena. It's something Rose had always dreamed of having for herself.

The ill vampire then moved her gaze solely onto the human girl after a moment of trying to control the pain her body was feeling as she tried to savor the time she had left. Rose looked at her best friend's doppelganger with the most meaningful look she could offer as she, once again, apologized for her actions, "I'm sorry for what I've done today. I know it's inexcusable, but I hope you can forgive me."

The human girl released her sister's hand once she noticed the sick vampire was speaking directly to her. However, it took a couple of tries before Elena finally let go when Damon pulled her further away so it forced Elena to release her twin sister. The Gilbert girl then walked up to Damon's bed, that surprisingly didn't have silk sheets, before she grabbed ahold of the vampire's sweaty and cold hand. "I'm not mad at you," Emily promised before she added, "I know it was just the werewolf bite." The human girl then gave Rose a sweet smile as she stated, "we're all good."

Rose instantly smiled out of relief as she slowly nodded her head now that she knew Emily didn't hate her. "Thank you," the ill vampire whispered as she gave the human girl's hand the strongest squeeze she could offer. A serious expression then swiftly slipped onto Rose's face as she told the Petrova doppelganger, "you need to fight, Emily. I know that you are trying to protect everyone, but you need to do it anyway."

The bedroom immediately went dead silent after the words flew out of the ill vampire's mouth as Rose and Emily stared at one another like they were communicating. But in reality, Emily just didn't know what to say. She wanted to argue with the vampire, but she just nodded her head in agreement since she knew that is what Rose wanted to hear; to know she's not just giving up - which Emily wasn't even doing. She was fighting - fighting for her family and friends.

However, before the human girl could even voice what she knew Rose wanted to hear, Emily was soon interrupted as the vampire began to cough which caused the pain that had been kept at bay to push its way through Rose's body. The Gilbert girl quickly jumped into action once she noticed the agony on Rose's face, before Emily slipped her arm behind the vampire's neck and shoulder to hopefully keep her body still from jumping around. Emily had noticed over the hours of watching the vampire that when she would move, it would cause Rose even more pain.

"Mmm," Rose sighed at the feeling of the human girl's warm wrist against her freezing skin. It was nice with all the chills that kept racking her body. The vampire then took a deep breath once the pain went away before she looked into Emily's green eyes with curiousness in her own. "Why are you so nice to me?" Rose wondered before she mumbled guiltily, "I tried to hand you over for my freedom."

The Gilbert girl shrugged her shoulders carelessly before she looked down at Rose with a humorous gaze. "Us humans," Emily stated with a smirk as she recalled the ill vampire telling her that her actions this morning was very human of her.

Rose chuckled slightly as she rubbed her shaky fingers across the human girl's warm leather jacket. "You can never forget it," the ill vampire uttered as she told the brunette girl, "what it's like to be human." Rose slowly shook her head before she mumbled, "it haunts me. It's the only thing that's kept me going." The bedroom then grew silent for a moment as the two vampires and the doppelganger absorbed Rose's words before the aforementioned supernatural being gave Emily the brightest smile she could as she whispered, "it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

However, the feeling of peacefulness seemed to be a fluke because it was barely a second after the last word slipped out of Rose before a loud gasp escaped the vampire's mouth before she squeezed her arms around her stomach as Rose felt the pain shoot up her body.

The two other vampires in the room swiftly rushed towards the king sized bed when they noticed how Rose began to painfully squirm all around. "What do we do?" Elena frantically interrogated as she didn't know how they were suppose to help the sick vampire. The only thing Elena did do was grab ahold of her twin sister's hand and pulled Emily out of the way of the vampire encase Rose decided to go through another murderous spree like she did earlier.

The Salvatore vampire swiftly grabbed ahold of Rose's arm and tried to keep her still as it was the only thing he could do while the werewolf venom moved throughout her body. Damon then glanced behind him when he heard the fast heart rate of the human girl and noticed the two worried twins. "Go," Damon simply told them as there wasn't anyway that could help.

"Damon," Elena softly called out to her boyfriend with her brows furrowed. The Gilbert vampire wanted to help out even though she didn't know how, but she also didn't want to leave Damon all alone with what is going to happen. Elena knew it was going crush him - despite the careless emotions he shows on the outside.

The blue eyed vampire swiftly vamp sped over to the worried Elena and placed a kiss onto her forehead before he stated, "you guys need to just go." Damon then gave his girlfriend a small nod as he promised, "I got this," before he vamp sped back over to Rose to comfort her as best as he could while she continued to scream out in pain.

Once Elena realized that the Salvatore vampire didn't leave any room for arguing as she silently watched Damon care for Rose on his own, she quickly grabbed ahold of Emily's hand before she pulled her twin sister out into the hallway. "Come on. Let's go home," the Gilbert vampire told Emily as she locked their fingers together before she went to pull her twin sister to exit out of the Salvatore boarding house.

However, Elena didn't even get to make a full step down the hallway as Emily instantly stood her ground. "I can't," the human girl whispered as she shook her head. Emily had made a promise to Rose to always be there for her, so the brunette girl couldn't just leave Rose when she was reaching her end. "I'm staying," Emily concluded as she crossed her arms over her sundress to show her sister that she wasn't backing down.

"Emmie, you don't want to see that," the Gilbert vampire uttered softly as she grabbed ahold of both of her sister's hands. Elena didn't want her sister to have to watch the vampire die. She knew it would ruin Emily. She had already seen so many people die, so Elena just wanted to protect her sister from experiencing that again.

"I need to be there for her," Emily exclaimed as she, once again, shook her head at Elena in disagreement. "I made a promise, Lena, and you know I don't break my promises," the human girl added as she tried to persuade her twin sister to not worry about her like she was currently doing. It didn't matter, though, either way Emily was going to stay with Rose. She wasn't going to leave her alone like Rose had spent most of her life.

The Gilbert vampire stared across at her twin sister with her brown eyes furrowed as she didn't know what to do. Elena didn't want to let Emily watch another person die when she could ease the pain by taking her home. However, Elena knew she wasn't going to be able to change Emily's mind. Once Emily sets on something, it's very rarely that it will change.

So, instead of arguing like the vampire had planned, Elena simply squeezed her twin sister's hand with a small nod. "I'm going to be down stairs in the living room," the Gilbert vampire told Emily as she compromised so she could at least listen to make sure her sister was okay.

Emily gave her twin a tiny but thankful smile as she praised, "thank you, Lena," before she added to ease her sister's worrying, "I'll be fine." The human girl then turned her body around and made her way back to the older Salvatore's bedroom, that she had exited about ten minutes ago, to hopefully comfort Rose in her last moments.

Once the Petrova doppelganger took a deep breath and readied herself, she quietly walked back into Damon's bedroom. However, she was soon at the end of a hard look as the Salvatore vampire instantly glared over at her before he uttered in annoyance, "I thought I told you to go home."

"No, no," the sickly and sweaty vampire swiftly called out from the large bed as she turned her gaze to the human girl. Rose smiled slightly before she told Damon, "I think I'd like to go out with a familiar face." If she was going to die, Rose would want nothing more for the last person she sees is her best friend's doppelganger. The ill vampire then slowly moved her body to the left with Damon's help, who was seated by her knees, before she padded the empty spot to her right and commanded, "sit."

The human girl lifted up an eyebrow at her sister's boyfriend as she was challenging him to kick her out again. But when Emily saw the eye roll Damon was giving her, a small smirk appeared onto her face before the brunette girl climbed up onto the tall bed and laid her head against the headboard as she sat next to Rose.

The Salvatore vampire huffed out a sigh as he really just wanted to get this over with. He didn't need an audience of him showing his good side. That was only reserved for Elena. However, Damon knew he wasn't going to be able to get rid of the stubborn human girl as he witnessed Emily comfort the vampire with soft whispers and smiles better than he ever could.

A loud echo of the Salvatore vampire clapping his hands together, once Damon accepted he wasn't going to able to get rid of his girlfriend's sister, sounded through the room as he gained the attention of Rose and the doppelganger. "So, are we ready to do this thing?" Damon interrogated as he had promised the ill vampire that he would send her off with a happy memory before Emily had walked in.

The Gilbert girl immediately looked up from Rose with her brows furrowed and moved her confused gaze over to Damon once the words fell out of the aforementioned vampire's mouth. What the hell are they going to do? Emily thought as Rose is literally on her death bed.

The ill vampire shook her head at the perplexed human girl with a tint of humor in her pain filled eyes. "Damon is sending me home," Rose explained to the doppelganger about what was going on as Emily was obviously clueless.

Damon held out both of his hands for the ill vampire and the human girl once Rose had finished telling Emily about the plan that they had came up with in the last couple of minutes to make Rose's death easier before he commanded, "give me your hand."

Emily's mind was in complete disarray right now. She didn't understand what the hell they were talking about. Sending me home? Emily went back to Rose's words before she thought, what does that even mean? It was like a bunch of gibberish in the human girl's opinion, so Emily raised an eyebrow as she looked at the two vampires before she finally questioned, "what? Why?"

Rose instantly chuckled at the human girl, who still hadn't figured it out yet, while she squeezed Emily's hand that she was holding. The ill vampire then placed her other hand into Damon's like they had planned before she looked back at the confused doppelganger and ordered softly, "just trust me."

The Gilbert girl continued to glance between the two vampires as she wasn't sure if this was some type of joke or what. But when Emily noticed the annoyed expression on Damon's face as he shook his awaiting hand and the amused expression from Rose, the brunette girl finally but cautiously placed her hand into Damon's palm before she was instantly pulled into a whole new universe.

Emily was instantaneously shocked once she noticed her surroundings. The human girl saw dark orange, bright yellow, and deep green colored leaves everywhere she looked. She had never seen anything like it. The only colors she got to see in Mystic Falls was dark brown when it would turn Fall. This was like something out of a dream.

The human girl shook her head after a moment once she jumped out of the trance from the beautiful colors before Emily began to slowly walk down the grassy hill and immediately noticed another amazing view. She saw several horses scattered all across the field that overlooked a town. But the one thing that caught Emily's attention the most was that there was someone standing beside a white horse.

"There you are!" The now long haired Rose cheered when she heard the sound of someone coming towards her and noticed the human doppelganger. The vampire was glad this was how she was spending her last moments. It made Rose feel like she was a princess in a fairy tale with all of the things that makes her happy surrounding her. It was the perfect ending.

"Wow," Emily gaped as that was the only word that would come out of her mouth. She was still in shock at where Damon had transported them to. It was amazing. Finally, after about three minutes of Emily twirling around and looking at the bright colors, she turned back and faced the grinning Rose with her own smile. "Look at your hair," Emily exclaimed as she picked up a strand of Rose's long wavy brown locks. It surprisingly fit the vampire and made her seem so much younger and innocent. "And look at your dress!" The Gilbert girl added as she shrieked. She never thought she would see the day when the strong and tough Rose would be wearing something so feminine as a purple dress.

Rose rolled her green eyes at the human girl's antics before a smirk lifted onto her pale pink lips. "Well, look at you," the vampire uttered right back to the doppelganger before a small smile lifted onto Rose's face. It was as if she was staring right at Darina. The human girl was wearing a dark green dress with her usual straightened medium length hair in waves with two braids connecting in the back. It was exactly what Rose remembered seeing her best friend wear when they would run through these same fields back in the fourteen hundreds.

The human girl swiftly looked down at her outfit at the vampire's comment and saw that she was no longer wearing her knee length floral sundress with her signature leather jacket. She instead was wearing a flowing dress that was definitely not from the twenty-first century. Emily then moved her gaze back to the vampire after getting over the shock of her outfit before she wondered, "so, where are we?"

The now healthy and happy vampire silently turned away from the horse that she had been stroking before she linked her purple covered arm with the human girl's green one and began to slowly walk through the field of horses. "St. Austell," Rose finally answered the doppelganger's question with a small smile shining on her lips as she looked all around the familiar sight.

Emily's green eyes instantly widened in surprise. She was actually in England right now which had to be when Rose was human by the way they are dressed. "Wait," Emily mumbled as she thought of something. "This is what Damon was talking about?" The Gilbert girl wondered before she mumbled softly, "he took you home." Emily was definitely in shock. Damon could be a big softy when he wanted, Emily realized.

Rose nodded her head with the same happy smile adoring her face. She then pointed to where a figure was leaning against an old barn, which the human girl noticed was the Salvatore vampire, before Rose uttered, "Damon has his moments."

"He certainly does," Emily muttered as she stared over at the vampire across the field before she gave Damon a small nod. The human girl was definitely seeing Damon in a new light now after witnessing him so willing to help someone he had said he didn't care if they died by fulfilling Rose's last happy moment.

The vampire and the human girl then silently continued to walk through the field for a couple of minutes as they both enjoyed the beautiful sights that laid in front of them. For Emily, it was like something out of a fairy tale and it was time for her to forget about what is dooming her in her real life with Klaus. But for Rose, it was her last chance of peace before she would pass on.

"So," the voice of the human girl began as she interrupted the calm silence while they walked before she wondered, "this is where you spent your time?"

"Yes," Rose uttered before something caught her eye - which caused an even happier smile to appear on her face. "Come," the vampire commanded before Rose swiftly began to pull the surprised human girl.

It only took a few minutes to reach their destination across the field before Rose finally released the human girl's arm and jogged the short walk towards a small shed that her father had built when she was a child. "Now this is my most favorite spot," Rose called out to the human girl before she slowly opened the wooden door as she absorbed the happy memories of this place.

The Gilbert girl curiously trotted over to the small shed that Rose had walked into while she held the long dress up, so she wouldn't trip. Once Emily finally arrived, a smile instantly made its way onto her face when she saw the vampire in the small building looking like a kid in a candy store.

"I found it!" Rose instantly cheered once Emily reached the entrance of the shed before she showed the human girl what she found. "It's my favorite literature; The Book of the City of Ladies," the vampire exclaimed. Rose then allowed Emily to enter the small room as she explained, "this is where I would stash all the books I would find in my village."

Emily silently nodded her head in understanding as she looked around the small shed. It was filled to the rim with books and leather bound journals. The Gilbert girl then picked up one of the many books that caught her attention the most; a book with a tan cover that read, 'Malleus Maleficarum.'

"Interesting choice," Rose mumbled as she looked at the title from over the human girl's shoulder. "In translation, it means Hammer of Witches," the vampire explained when she noticed the curious look on Emily's face.

"Why is that interesting?" The Gilbert girl wondered as she had just picked up a random book. She didn't see anything special about it besides that it was written in German with small hand writing notes underneath the words with, what Emily could only assume, was the English translation.

"Well, the book explains about how the German men in the early fourteen hundreds could spot witches and get rid of them. It also had a section about how the origin of witchcraft was born; with the evil intentions of the witch, the help of the devil, and the permission of God," Rose explained to the human before she rolled her green eyes and mumbled, "which is total horse shit with men thinking they were all evil. But..." The vampire then bit down on her bottom lip before she confessed, "this was one of the books that Darina would always pick up."

"Wow," the human girl mumbled in surprise. What were the chances she would pick up the one piece that her doppelganger use to read? Emily then looked up from the book in her hands before she wondered, "why was Darina so interested in witchcraft?" Emily couldn't think of a reason why her doppelganger would be into it unless it was for Maria.

A large smirk instantly lifted onto the vampire's face as she stared across at the even more confused human girl. "Well, that's something you'll learn later," Rose secretly told Emily before she swiftly grabbed ahold of the brunette's wrist to stop any questions she would have and stated, "come. I want to feel the sun on my skin."

Emily was even more baffled than she was when she had first picked up the book that had somehow called out to her. However, Emily decided to push that thought away, even though she didn't really have a choice with the vampire pulling her outside, as she wanted to focus on keeping Rose happy by doing whatever she wanted.

The vampire had pulled the human girl out of the shed at lightening speed before they sprinted across the field. Finally, Rose game to a stop after a few minutes once they reached the top of the hill that overlooked her village and the bright colors of the leaves along with the bright sky. Rose then glanced over to the brunette girl once they stopped and gave her a bright and happy smile before Rose took a seat on the grassy hill and padded the spot next to her for the human girl.

The doppelganger playfully rolled her green eyes in false annoyance before she lifted her long dress up to her knees so she could sit before she spread the dress back out to her ankles. Once she was situated, Emily then glanced over to the vampire, who was smiling with her eyes closed as her head was titled to the sky. The brunette girl shook her head with her own smile at seeing how peaceful Rose looked. It was definitely different from what she had seen since she had gotten to know the vampire these last few days.

The field then grew silent for a couple of minutes as the vampire and the human girl both had their eyes closed with the sun beating down on their skin while the Salvatore vampire stood to the side as he watched Rose experience her last happy moment. "Thank you," Rose whispered after another minute of silence once she finally opened her eyes.

The Gilbert girl instantly peaked open one of her own green orbs when she heard the words fall out of the vampire's mouth. Emily then stared over at Rose curiously before she wondered, "what did I do?"

Rose grabbed ahold of the human girl's hand as she uttered with a smile adored on her face, "the pain is gone." That was all the vampire ever wanted. She just wanted the pain from the werewolf bite to just end.

Emily turned her body towards the vampire as she squeezed Rose's hand. "Good," she muttered with her own smile. The brunette girl then pulled Rose closer so the vampire's shoulder was leaning against hers so they both would be more comfortable on the grassy field.

"Will I see them again?" The vampire wondered after another moment of silence had settled between them as they stared at the nature around them. "Will I see my family?" Rose added as she clarified what she was asking.

The Gilbert girl thought for a second as she didn't know anything about the afterlife or if it was different for supernatural beings. Emily only nodded her head after a moment before she uttered as she stared up at the fluffy clouds in the sky, "I think they are standing at the edge waiting with open arms." At least that is what Emily hopes what the afterlife is like. She imagines that will be what is waiting for her once this whole Klaus ordeal is over with; her parents, Grams, Mason, and maybe even Lexi will be there waiting to go to a Bon Jovi concert like they had promised each other all that time ago in Mystic Grill.

"Mmm," Rose hummed as she liked the sound of her parents waiting for her. "That would be nice," the vampire murmured as she rested her head in the crook of the human girl's neck. Rose then glanced up into the doppelganger's green eyes as she added, "maybe I'll get to see Trevor and Darina."

"Well, you better make sure you tell Darina that her doppelganger says hi and tell Trevor to play nice," Emily uttered playfully as she nudged her chin with the top of the vampire's head to add some sorta humor in this serious moment.

Rose silently nodded her head in agreement before she linked her fingers with the human girl's just like they are inside of the real world at the Salvatore boarding house. The vampire then swiftly sat up, with their hands still together, and turned her body towards the human girl as a thought instantly crossed her mind.

"I think I am ready," the vampire confessed as she didn't fear leaving this world anymore. She was just ready to see her family again. Rose gave the human doppelganger a content smile before she uttered her last piece of advice, "Emily, you don't need Elijah's help like you think you do. You just don't know how strong you are yet. But you will. So, you need to continue to fight back. I know you can beat this. You can survive Klaus." The vampire then placed her hand onto the human girl's cheek as she whispered, "it is your destiny," before she closed her green eyes for the last time as peace took over her whole body.

Meanwhile in the Salvatore boarding house, it was as if the human girl was coming up for fresh air after almost drowning as Emily's body jumped and a loud gasp escaped her mouth once she was pulled from the dream of St. Austell. The Gilbert girl then quickly twirled around after noticing the familiar bedroom before a cry flew out once she saw Rose's body with a stake embedded right through her heart.

"No," Emily whispered to herself out of grief and heartbreak. She had knew this was going to happen when she walked back into Damon's bedroom earlier tonight, but she just didn't want it to be real. Emily shaky grabbed ahold of the deceased vampire's gray hand as she whispered over and over again like Rose had done all day, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

The human girl stayed like that as she cried for the friend she had just lost. She ignored everything else around her like the Salvatore vampire, who was staring at Rose with tears in his own eyes, and the sound of someone running up the stairs. Emily's heart just felt so heavy with pain that she didn't care about anything else until she finally felt her twin sister forcefully pull her away from the gray and deceased vampire.

"Hey, hey. It's okay," Elena whispered as she held her twin sister tightly in her chest while Emily's body was racked with sobs. The Gilbert vampire just held Emily as she offered the most comfort she could while she stared across at her boyfriend in worry as she noticed there was tears falling down Damon's face as he stared down at the dead vampire. Elena wanted to comfort her boyfriend, but her family would always come first - no matter what.

The two sisters stayed still like that for a moment before the Gilbert vampire felt Emily's body began to grow weak from all of her emotions and tears, so Elena pulled away from their embrace and grabbed her twin sister's face between her hands. Elena waited until Emily's green eyes were locked with her brown ones before she uttered softly, "let's go home, yeah?"

Emily couldn't even find the energy to say anything, so the human girl only nodded her head before she slowly began to make her way towards the door of Damon's bedroom with her legs shaking as she moved. The brunette girl didn't know why this was effecting her so badly. It wasn't like she was close to Rose. She had only known the vampire for less than a week. But Emily couldn't help but care about the vampire that once tried to turn her over to Elijah for her freedom. Rose had tried to help her and Emily will never forget that.

While the human girl stood at the edge of the door with her thoughts blocking out the real world, the Gilbert vampire slowly and cautiously made her way towards her boyfriend, who stood frozen in his spot as he continued to stare down at the gray body of their friend. "Hey," Elena whispered as she softly placed her hand onto Damon's shoulder to offer some sort of comfort.

However, the Salvatore vampire didn't respond like Elena had wanted. But he did place his hand over hers to show Elena that he was fine - even though he really wasn't. Damon just didn't want Elena to worry about him. That was the last thing he needed.

"It's going to be okay," Elena whispered as she rubbed her hand across Damon's shoulder and upper arm. The Gilbert vampire then used her finger to turn Damon around by guiding his chin towards her direction. Elena stared into Damon's teary blue eyes as she uttered gently, "I'm going to take Emily home and I'll be right back," before she placed a powerful and lovingly kiss onto Damon's lips.

The Gilbert vampire took a step back and stared over at the mournful Damon with a small sigh as she could tell he was having trouble. Elena then grabbed ahold of the Salvatore vampire's hand and gave it a tight squeeze as she whispered, "I love you," before she turned around and wrapped her arm around her sister's waist. Elena knew the vampire could handle it at the moment, so she focused her attention onto her human sister, who needed her right now.

The twin sisters then silently and slowly made their way out into the hallway of the boarding house, made their way down the stairs, before they finally exited and moved towards the human girl's black Honda. Elena had grabbed her sister's keys while she was in the living room earlier, so she didn't have to convince Emily to let her drive. Instead, Elena instantly helped her sister into the car before she vamp sped to the driver's seat and began to drive away.

The car was immediately overcome by only dead silence once the vampire had started to drive through the dark town of Mystic Falls. Elena just kept glancing over to her twin while Emily kept her gaze on the window as she watched the dark brown and green trees pass by. It instantly saddened the human girl that it was nothing like the dream that she was in with Rose. It was just so dark like the life she lives.

No one is safe, Emily thought as she moved her gaze up to the small moon and the bright stars as she pictured Rose was up there right about now. And it wasn't even Klaus that caused this death. It was because Rose was helping her and her friends and she just so happened to get bitten by a werewolf. It made Emily feel so much guilt as Rose just wanted to live her life without having to run from the originals.

I'm so sorry, Rose, was the last thought on the human doppelganger's mind before Emily's body and adrenaline finally caught up to her. The brunette girl's green eyes slowly began to fall close once she rested her head against the cold glass window from the exhaustion as she thought about the friend she had lost tonight.


It was about fifteen minutes of the Gilbert vampire driving through the dark streets of Mystic Falls before she finally pulled into the driveway of her childhood home. Elena then turned off her sister's car once she was parked behind her aunt Jenna's red vehicle before she looked over to the right and sighed softly when she saw her sister slowly opening her eyes. Elena hated that her sister was feeling like this. It was what she had tried to avoid, but Elena knew there was no stopping the grief with the lives they live everyday with supernatural creatures and the troubles that come with living in the small town.

"Are you okay?" Elena whispered over to her twin after she had stared at Emily with worry in her brown eyes for a couple of minutes. The Gilbert vampire knew Emily hated when people would worry for her, so the few moments of the human girl gaining her bearings after falling asleep allowed Elena to watch her other half to make sure she was at least alright after what had just happened.

The human doppelganger moved her tired gaze away from the window at the sound of Elena's voice before she turned to the left to look at her sister. "I'm fine," Emily told the young vampire - even though she knew Elena wouldn't believe her. But it was their life. Emily knew she was going to lose people with how dangerous Mystic Falls was, however she just couldn't let it get to her and stop everything. It just means that she carries them in her heart as she keeps moving forward in life like they would want her to do.

Emily gave her twin sister a meaningful smile at the confidence she had to keep moving forward for the people she had lost; her parents, Grams, Lexi, Mason, and now Rose. The brunette girl knew she couldn't just roll over. She had to keep going and keep fighting. Emily reached over the middle console and gave her sister's hand a tight squeeze to show that she was okay. "I'll be fine," the human girl promised as she nodded her head before she silently jumped out of her car.

The two sisters then quietly began to walk up the driveway of their home as they locked their arms together and comforted each other by standing side by side. Emily knew it would have been more difficult if she didn't have her other half with her, so Emily was extremely thankful for her twin sister as they could always comfort one another by just being in the other's presence.

"So did you guys find Isobel?" Emily finally spoke up as she questioned her sister as they walked up the porch of the Gilbert estate. The human girl had totally forgot about how Elena had went to the Grill with Stefan to find their birth mother and with everything that happened tonight, Emily never had the opportunity to ask how that whole mission went.

"We didn-" Elena had began to explain to her twin sister about what she and Stefan had found. But before she could even finish her sentence, Elena was soon interrupted as she and Emily noticed the aforementioned Salvatore vampire standing by the front door of their home.

"Stef," Emily exhaled loudly in relief once she saw her favorite pair of green eyes before she swiftly released her twin sister's hand and rushed into the vampire's awaiting arms. A sigh immediately escaped the human girl's mouth once she felt Stefan's embrace wrap protectively around her waist.

The Salvatore vampire's brows instantly furrowed in worry as he felt Emily's heart pounding against his chest. Stefan then looked over the human girl's shoulder as he held her tightly and looked towards his ex girlfriend. "Is she okay?" The brunette vampire mouthed over to Elena.

The brown eyed Gilbert nodded her head as she mouthed back, "she will be." Elena then walked over to her sister and squeezed Emily's shoulder before she silently made her way into the house. She figured she could give them a minute alone while she went to greet their guess, who the vampire definitely hated that they had to ask for help, which Elena had tried to tell her sister about before they had noticed Stefan on the porch.

The human girl and the Salvatore vampire stayed in their exact spot once the door had closed as Stefan comforted the girl he loved while he whispered sweet nothings in Emily's ear. Once the brunette girl finally felt calm enough after a few minutes, she pulled away and looked into the warm green eyes that she adored.

Stefan swiftly wiped the tears that he noticed were trailing down the human girl's face before he cupped her right cheek. "You okay?" The Salvatore vampire whispered. Stefan knew it wasn't good if Emily was crying as she is such a strong person.

Emily bit down on her bottom lip as she tried to keep the sorrow warm tears at bay. The human girl then swallowed thickly as she controlled her emotions before she whispered the words for the first time, "Rose is dead."

The Salvatore vampire sighed as he knew something must of happened to cause the human girl to act this way. "Babe," Stefan whispered sadly as he knew Emily had gotten close to Rose over the short time since the human girl was kidnapped by the aforementioned vampire. "I'm sorry I couldn't be there," Stefan whispered, "I'm so sorry," before he placed a kiss onto Emily's forehead and held her close.

The human girl didn't say anything back. Emily just wrapped her arms around Stefan's waist as she absorbed the love that he was giving her. It was just like any other time she is in Stefan's presence - he just gives off this safe aura that helps keep her calm.

Stefan and Emily continued to stand like that for a moment with the vampire's lips against the human girl's warm skin as Emily's arms were locked around Stefan's waist before the Salvatore vampire finally pulled away and looked back into Emily's green eyes. Stefan made sure that the brunette girl was okay by watching her cautiously before he confessed softly, "so, I, um, called Isobel."

"I figured that," Emily mumbled before she fully pulled away from the vampire. The human girl then grabbed ahold of Stefan's larger hand before she finally made her way into the Gilbert house as she was starting to get tired from standing outside.

The Salvatore vampire placed his hand under the human girl's leather jacket and laid it against the thin floral dress as he helped her walk through the foyer of her childhood home. "I know you didn't want me to, but we need help," Stefan gently uttered as he didn't want Emily to be upset with what he and Elena did today.

Emily leaned her head against Stefan's upper arm, the part she could actually reach with her short stature, and squeezed his hand that she was holding before she nodded in understanding. "It's okay," the human girl whispered as she figured the least she could do was fight like Rose wanted. It was just a thing Emily had been doing when she loses someone. She doesn't like their death to be wasted, so Emily always tries to live up to their last wish and that was what Emily was planning to do. Emily was going to fight while she also made sure to keep everyone she loves safe as she couldn't handle losing anyone else.

The human girl stopped walking once she and Stefan reached the wooden staircase. She then took a step onto the platform so she was at least the same height with the vampire before Emily wrapped her arms around Stefan's neck. "So did you and Lena find her?" The Gilbert girl inquired as she was curious if they did actually find her birth mother.

"Not exactly," a familiar voice suddenly called out from behind the human girl and the Salvatore vampire - which immediately caused for Emily to look up from Stefan and towards the entrance of the living room. The person she saw was definitely not Isobel. "Hello, Emily," the man uttered as he gave the young girl a tight smile.

"Oh, you got to be kidding me," Emily groaned as she rolled her green eyes. The human girl glanced between Stefan and over to her twin sister - who was standing beside the man that they hadn't seen in months. However, when Emily saw that they were serious, the brunette girl huffed out a loud sigh.

Emily then dropped her hands from Stefan's neck and stepped around him to stand across from the man that she really didn't want in her and her family's life just as much as she didn't want Isobel around. "John," the human girl finally greeted her biological father with an emotionless voice after she gave him a hard glare to show just how much she didn't want him here.
