Chapter 22: Mr Easter Bunny

Hmmmm . . . . . Should I do It now?

I was having a brainstorming session. After all, Life can be chaotic, and making a to-do list is always a good way to go. so far here's what I have:

- Save Enzo- help out Klaus- find a way for Elena to donate- release kai- Sort out white oak stake problem (If you are wondering why they are still a problem after the bridge burnt down, The gods said that I'm solving things way too easily, so sadly, I have to wait till all the Originals are awake for the bridge to burn down permanently, Yes I know, they are a bunch of picky mfs)- save Jenna- Save Davina( Fucking gods got rid of everyone's memories in New Orleans, saying I was "moving too fast"- so note to self: Move along with the plot well enough, but also be prepared)- help Hayley and the new Orleans wolves

- oh and send grams and her bf on a trip to Hawaii

I was planning on saving Enzo, But that would MAJORLY fuck up the plot, and knowing the gods, they'll probably reset time or get Enzo recaptured, for it to run fairly smoothly. I can't risk changing the future too much, Since I need control over what's going to happen. Now that I've noted down my main few points, I have to get dressed an head over to the Salvatore boarding house, Since apparently we were gonna discus threats to DeAr EleNa. Damon hasn't learnt his lesson, so fuck this shit. Rose and Trevor are both probably there, maybe not, since now that they're free, there's no reason for them to hang around.

.

I got off my bike, enjoying the sun and breeze on my face.  I walk into the grill which was bustling and full of people, It made my heart warm.Sometimes, I think the only reason I'm even doing this is for the hot men and women. I pick up a milkshake and fries, before heading to the boarding house.

.

.

.

"ROSEY! TREV!"I tackle them into a hug before they could say anything. rose chuckled. "God, you are so excited to see us huh?" I roll my eyes , and slap away Trevor's hand which was reaching into my bag of fries. Elena, Damon and Stefan, stare in confusion, I just shrug at them, before plopping down on the couch next to Elena, gesturing Rose to continue.

"So like Elijah?" Elena continues"No Elena, Elijah is like the Easter bunny compared to Klaus" Rose says, But this causes me to choke on my smoothie. Trevor looks at me in confusion "what?"

I lean back and put one leg on the other, rolling my eyes. "Look guys, we don't compare two powerful beings. A better way to say it would be: Elijah is like a Grenade with a safety pin, and Klaus is like a loose cannon in a burning house. One has restraint, The other; not so much"

Damon turns to me, with a bewildered look "And HOW do you know this?" I just shrug. "Books, oh and slater" 

Trevor just laughs "God I should've know, V you have connections huh" I smirk.

"nah not many" I laugh and stand up, walking to Damon and pulling the bourbon out of his hand, causing him to scowl and pull me in by the waist, in an attempt to reach it.

"Anyways, Klaus is known to be the oldest" Stefan points out, while catching a fry that I was throwing at him, before tossing it in his mouth. Elena's eyes widen and she lists what she has understood so far. "Okay so, you're telling me the oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?" "YES-" rose says, but is cut of by Damon, making me huff in annoyance."NO, what they're saying is, I mean if what she's saying is true-""which it is" "and they're not saying it because we'll kill them" "which we're not" "then we're looking at a solid maybe" Damon finishes. I slam Damon's bourbon glass down on a table and walk to Elena. 

"Look Elena, Unlike Damon, I won't sugar coat. So yes you are being hunted." Stefan stands up. "Look Elijah is dead, So there no one who knows that you exist" Stefan points out, while slinging an arm over my shoulder. "Not that we know of" Both me and rose say at the same time, Trevor just watching on in amusement. Damon looks at us "you're not helping" 

I groan and shake Stefan's arm off my shoulder looking at everyone. "Look, SHE'S FRICKEN KATHERINE'S DOPPLEGANGER ! I am 100% sure, at least one person knows she exists. You guys know how many people Katherine pissed off, it's no secret," I deadpan.

Stefan starts saying shit about it possibly being a fairy-tale and rose argues back. Elena looks deep in thought before she stands up and walks to the door, while I walk into another room in the board house to find snacks. I hear her say she's going to "school".

.

.

.

Rose and Trevor sat on both sides of me as we discussed what came first, the chicken or the egg. Damon, storms in "Alright V, Rose, the other dude, I Need some answers"

"heh well maybe if you asked nicely, answers could be given" I say to him, blowing away my nail dust as I file them, before standing up to get something.Damon speeds up to my face, "Val, How do I find Klaus, Since it seems you know so much." Rose and Trevor come on either side, Trevor yanks Damon away from me. "You don't find Klaus, Klaus finds you" Rose says, glaring at him.

"Fucking hell" I groan "Fine, we can go to slater, since you want to save you're crush, I guess you wont give up" Damon doesn't say anything, Trevor opts to stay home

Timeskip

We get out of the car, and I turn to rose with a smirk. "Still using the Back entrance I see.""Well of course, What if I run into another hottie like you?" Rose replies, winking. I laugh and walk over to her, hanging an arm over her shoulder. "You have no idea how hard I tried to find you guys, must say, it was my luck to run into you here, And then at slater's abode through craigslist" Rose chuckles.

Damon gets out of the car but we ignore him. We start walking, my arm still over her shoulder, rose smacks my ass before doing the same. No-homo ofc

I feel Damon speed up behind me. "Oh, by the way Dames?, Don't try to kill her, she's older than you" Rose laughs and I hear Damon grunt behind us.

We walk into the café, and I spot Slater, walking up to him and pulling him into a hug. "OH V! and rose!" he smiles pulling away to give rose a hug too. "Let me guess, you're here because of the free WIFI?" He Smirks "and the coffee" we laugh and I smack his head playfully.His eyebrows raise in worry "Where's Trevor" "Oh he decided it was time for a break after all that running" Rose replies. "Oh by the way, this is -" "Damon Salvatore, Turned 1864, Mystic falls, by Katherine Pierce, Aka Katerina Petrova." I nudge him with my elbow. "Slater, Stop scaring the guy" Slater chuckles sheepishly.

.

.

.

"So if we wanted to contact somebody, where should we go?" I ask him. "craigslist" slater points out, A straightforward look on his face as he leans onto the table.

"Really?" Damon looks sceptical. "Seriously. I get a personal add, that gets sent to somebody, who knows somebody, Who knows Elijah. . . whose dead. And that's where my connection ends."

I pause, the sound of coins being dropped hits my ear, the others, are too immersed in their conversation to hear.

Elijah

I turn to look outside, my eyes widen at the sight, there he stood, across the road, in an all black suit. Our eyes lock, and he smiles, giving me a small wave, which I return. I stare at him for a while, before turning to the group. "So . . .  do you guys have you're daylight rings on?"

Rose looks at me confused. "yeah, why?"

And on cue the coins were tossed at the window, initiating chaos..

.

Damon sat by the fireplace, a bottle of bourbon in hand. I won't lie, yes, I did feel bad for him.

I walk up behind him, grabbing the bottle of bourbon from his hand, downing it. I hiss at the burning sensation of the alcohol "Urgh, Dames, why do you even like this shit?"He doesn't reply, so I sit down beside him. 

"I'm sorry." He turns his head slightly, but doesn't look at me. "Why?"

"Because You couldn't find a way to save Elena. Don't worry, There's always a way" He glances at me, taking the bottle out of my hand and drinking some.

"Dames, I can't tell you not to love her, but perhaps you should date Rose instead"My plans on setting these two up, needs to work another way, since the only reason they made out in the first place, was after Trev's death. Damon looks at me in confusion."She's literally the most random vampire you could find?" I snort still staring at the fire.

"I missed this .  . ." I say, Damon looks at me intently. I chuckle to myself. "Gosh, I feel like a lost a friend, the moment you fell in love with El. But damn my dude, get your priorities strait."I Turn to him. "I highly recommend therapy"I watch as a grin teases as his lips, and smile, deciding to dust myself off and stand up. "welp, I will leave you to your self pitying, and self loathing then. Just don't do anything stupid . . . . OH and use protection, you might be a vampire, but some things are just nasty" I snort at my own joke before turning away, moving to go to bed.

I hear the bourbon bottle being set down, and I turn to check, but before I could fathom what was going on- I felt two lips press against mine. The next thing I knew, I was pulling him into me . . . his arms wrapped around my waist, and mine around his neck. His tongue teased as my lip, sliding in as I take a breath. I pull away quickly and look at him. He stares at me in confusion. "Why did you stop?" I narrow my eyes at him, "This just a best friends thing right?" he hesitantly nods "Oh-umm, Yeah, right. This means nothing"I nod, "Yeah, this means nothing-"

Within seconds, Our lips connected again, Damon soon brought his face to my neck, gently biting, tracing his tongue in circles, and sucking at it teasingly. This time, to be interrupted by a cough from Rose.

I pushed Damon away and awkwardly laughed. Damon grunts, and starts to glare at her "Oh, HEY ROSE! this is, It's umm, its a friend thing." Rose quirked her eyebrow playfully. "Gosh where's my make-out session, aren't we best friends too?" Damon groans, and Muttering, and cursing at her under his breath. I laugh. "Gosh rosy, you could've asked"

Rose's phone begins to ring. she looks up at us. "It's slater" I walk over to her and stand next to her "pick it up, what happened?" 

As soon as I said that, my heart stopped. 

NO- SHIT, NOT SLATER. HOW COULD I FORGET

My eyes widen, and my heart begins to race, how could I have forgotten him about him? Damon rubs my back whispering 'you okay?' to me as he hears my heart beat spike. I just nod, giving him a pained smile, his face still looking concerned.

It had to be done, yes . . . it had to be done, for the plot.

The call ends and Rose looks at us confused. "He said, we need the moonstone and a witch, and that the witch will figure the rest out themselves."

The next morning

I groan, I fell asleep next to Rose the night before, who was now, nowhere to be found. I sit up and groan. Listening for her anywhere in the house. I hear Elena's voice and Trevor's snores. I quickly get changed and join the two. 

"Hey Elena, what're you doing here?" Rose turns to me, and her eyes light up with relief. "Oh V, please tell Elena that Stefan and Damon are trying to save her because they care." Elena huffs.

"Look I know that, they're just willing to risk everyone I love, and I'm not." she looks at me pleadingly. 

I Stare at her, before sighing."Look El, you might not think it, But we care about you a lot. It's selfish of you to think that we think of you as a burden. You don't even bother to think about how we might feel if we lost you." Elena doesn't stop after I tell her this. "Please, can we just go and find more information? Please?" I sigh, for Elijah I guess. Rose steps with me "If you're going, then I'm coming too V, I want to see just what she plans on doing"I nod, grateful that I won't be left alone with Elena.

at slater's place

Rose knock a few times, I call his name, knowing full well that he's dead. "Slater? SLATER!"Rose turns to Elena and shrugs "He's not home."Elena refuses to budge. "Wait, No, NO, I refuse to come all the way without an answer." And a fed up Rose forces the door open, giving me a pained look, which I give back.

I walk towards his body  and turn to the two. "I don't think he can help us anymore."Elena runs in gasping at the sight. 

After looking around a while, Rose discovers Alice who runs out from a separate room.

"I'll go get something to drink," and I smile at rose who was comforting Alice. Elena joins me, and soon, so did Rose.  "she found him moments before we did" "how is she?""Overreacting, Big Time" Elena looks slightly taken aback to which I snicker. "Her boyfriend just died, you can never over react for that."  "Aaaand there's the catch" I mumble, and Rose points at me. "EXACTLY. She didn't care about slater, she was only staying with him long enough to see if he'd turn her."

Elena Looks speechless before picking up the tea and going to sit down with Alice. I turned to rose. "Good thing she's doing it, I might've busted out laughing at her" Rose snicker. "tell me about it"

They begin talking, and both me and rose watch. Rose almost chokes when she hears Elena promise Alice that Rose will turn her. I snicker and nudge her, and she, once again, gives me a pained expression.

.

.

.

"Someone's been here, the hard drive's completely wiped out" "yeah probably whoever killed him" Elena concludes

Yeah- no shit

"lucky for you, Slater was paranoid, everything is backed up on our remote server" Alice slides, skilfully typing away, while Rose pulls Elena aside, to make sure she was joking about Alice being turned. 

"Christen Stewart? God could he be more obvious" Elena looks in wonder. "all this is related to Vampires?" "slater was obsessed, Almost as much as me." Alice sighs.

"What about that one? Cody Webber? " I notice this and lean over to check. "Yeah they've exchanged dozens of emails about Elijah"

Alice looks up at us. "I could, Call him?"Elena picks up the phone and hands it to Alice. "tell him that we're trying to send a message to Klaus. A doppelgänger is alive, and she's ready to surrender" I act surprised. "WHAT?" Grabbing Elena's arm to turn her towards me. "WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ELENA"

"OH MY GOD, I knew I recognised you" Elena moves her arm away from me and turns to Alice "Get him the message please" She proceeds to walk off, Me and rose follow behind.

Too tired to hear this conversation, I zone it out. Then deciding to call Damon, I signal to Rose before picking up my phone and giving him a call.

Hello?

Hello sunshine, what's wrong

you need to get to Richmond immediately

Why? what happened?

It's Elena

Damon hangs up immediately, I assume he's coming.

A reply would be good, you bastard

.

.

.

I am so bored right now. I was seated on top of a desk, And Elena was drinking water. Damon appears beside her and they begin to feud.

Oh my, What a budding romance (note the sarcasm)

Rose drags off Alice, and I stand up, Walking up to Elena and grabbing her face. "Look Elena, we're leaving, understood?" she shakes off my hand. "No, I CANNOT LET YOU GUYS SACRIFICE ANYTHING FOR ME." I just roll my Eyes and stare at her. Finally fed Up, I go to find whatever alcohol can be found in this place.

Though it tastes like shit, gotta say, I does give me relief from Elena's shit

.

.

A while passes and Damon is pacing, Rose, Alice, and Elena are seated at the table. I'm leaning against it, with some whiskey in hand, which I offer to Damon, who gratefully takes some, while leaving a peck on the side of my lip.

Suddenly the front door burst open, And three vampires walk in. The one in the middle, stepping forward. "We're here to meet the doppelgänger"  Elena pushes past us, "Thankyou for coming" But since I'm the one close to her, I grab her hand. "Don't even THINK about it" I then turn to the three. "There's no one here for you."Damon looks at me proudly.

Wait, did I just say his lines

On que, The one Vampire at the door, falls to the ground with a crack. Revealing Elijah standing behind him.

Elijah then speeds towards the two standing closest to us. I nudge rose, Encouraging her to go, as I feel her freeze up beside me. Damon looked dumbfounded. "I killed you, You were dead""For centuries now" he deadpans.

God he's so sexy when he's sassy. WAIT FUCK, STOP SIMPING

The two Vampires stay confused. "Wait who are you""I'm Elijah" His eyes flicker to mine momentarily, and my throat goes dry as I smell the intoxicating scent from when I was kidnapped. 

The Vampires stay mouth agape before responding "w-we were going to bring her to you, for Klaus. SHE'S the doppelgänger. I don't know how she exists but she does. Klaus would want to see her."

Elijah humms."Does anyone else know you're here?"

"No"A grin graces his features. "Well then you have been INCREDIBLY helpful."

Aaaaand now-

Within a swift movement, Elijah pulls out both the vampire's hearts. Dropping them on top of the now dead bodies.

Elijah Then speeds towards us, Damon moves to shield Elena, who stood on the other side of me. Paying no mind to them, He stops in front of me, gently moving a stray hair from my face, Damon flinches and goes to pull me away, but before it could be done, He was gone.

The next morning

I Stop my bike in front of the gilbert residence and walk onto the door, knocking twice.

Bon bon opens up with a smile. "HEY VAL!" I smirk back, while walking in. "helooo bon bon, how's our little bird doing?" Elena runs down from her room and glares at me. "You knew about this didn't you?""Mayyyyybe?" I laugh at her, before giving everyone a little lunch bag full of muffins each.

Remy runs in from the kitchen quickly grabbing one, making me laugh and ruffle his hair. "Well I have to get going, but I just came to check on you guys. Oh I'll be back to help Jenna move things but until then, Call me if anything happens, okay?"

"Will do," Bonnie hugs me before I leave to the grill. Planning on meeting with Caroline and Tyler briefly.

.

.

.

I walk into the grill, looking around and finally spotting Caroline waving to me. "Hey guys, Hey Ty" Tyler smiles back before getting up and pulling me into an embrace.

We all sit down and Tyler turns serious. "Look guys, a woman came to our house, claiming to be Mason's friend from Florida. She thinks he's dead, but the letter mason left me, clearly states that I can't tell them he's alive. My mom's freaking out."I put a hand on his and give it a squeeze of reassurance. I stand up and nod to them both "I need to go for now guys, But Ty? I promise to be with you when you turn okay?" He nervously nods, and I smile, ruffling his hair as I walk out of the grill. Deciding to scout out the location of the werewolves that have come to look for mason to pass time.

Timeskip

I was now back at the gilbert residence.

Damn, I'm such a busy person

Groaning, I walk inside, immediately having a box shoved into my arms by a very frantic Jenna. "Val my darling daughter not through blood, You are an angel sent from heaven specifically to help me with these boxes. Follow me, I'm sure you're excited for more." 

She gives a cheeky grin and I follow behind her "Yes mom". Jenna gasps and turns around dramatically. "FINALLY,  I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED!"I snicker and follow her, where I bump into Elena, who laughs at my state. " Jenna stop bullying Val like this" Jenna's head snaps to Elena and her face lights up.

"Oh great timing!" she shoves a box into Elena's hand. "O-whoa, what are these?""you're mom's stuff from the historical society. I got roped into helping Mrs Lockwood." 

"Ah Yes, she does have her ways huh Jenna? thought you would've learnt by now." Jenna just rolls her eyes and sticks her tongue out at me."No, by roped, I mean very excited to participate." Jenna stands up, holding a box and closing the cupboard door, revealing Elijah. Elena gasps and jumps slightly, dropping a book that sat in the box. I move quickly to catch it before it his the floor.

"Hi I'm Elijah" he smiles innocently.

Sir you are anything but innocent, but I will let you step on me any day. SHit, I'm down bad

Jenna then takes the box off of Elena. "Elijah's in town doing research on mystic falls""That's great, but Jenna where do I put these?" Jenna looks at me and her eyes widen. "Wait how did you get so many boxes?" "Oh some of these are from my grandmother, As I said, Mrs Lockwood can really rope people in." Jenna laughs as I go put down the boxes, before going to stand next to Elena, who grabs my hand in fear.

Elijah walks forward slowly, while staring at me, putting out a hand for me to shake. "It's a pleasure"I cautiously reach forward to shake his hand, instead he gently lifts it up to his lips and places a kiss on my knuckles, Jenna looks bewildered. My heart races, and I am sure he could hear it, seeing his smug smile but I choose to ignore, slowly pulling my hand away.

"Um so are you going to stay here and look through the stuff, Or we three could help load it into the car?" Jenna eyes him cautiously after seeing him kiss my hand.

"Yeah, or I can get someone to pick it up tomorrow" Jenna nods "Also a good plan"

"thankyou so much for inviting me into you're home Jenna. And Elena! I hope to seeing you again sometime soon." And with that, he walks out of the house with Jenna.

Elena's hands begin to shake, but I pull her along with me, upstairs into her room. "Elle, he's been invited in." "quick into Jeremy's room." As she grabs the door handle, Elijah appears, gesturing us to stay quiet as Jeremy opens the door. "Hey what's wrong?" Elena starts to stutter, so I finish her sentence. "Jenna wants you're help with the boxes" "Huh? Oh yeah sure" and he goes down the stairs, not noticing the original.

Elijah looks at me gently, "That was a wise choice."
