Morgan Monteith
✵

It was later that same day after Elena had asked Morgan to distract the two Salvatore brothers, a plan that hadn't exactly gone very well, that Stefan called everyone up letting them know that Klaus had gone after Jenna.

Worried about her aunt, Elena had decided she needed to go meet up with Stefan and Jenna at the boardinghouse.
But seeing as she was renegotiating a deal with Elijah, she got Morgan to go switch with her so the original vampire had some leverage and knew she'd be returning after dealing with her aunt.

Morgan bumped into Elena just as she was on her way out of her room to go meet with Elijah in said doppelgängers stead. Elena hugged her rushed, "You're here. Perfect. Elijah is waiting for you by the Lockwoods' house." She explained Morgan quickly only receiving a court nod in return.

"Alright. I'll see you when you've made sure Jenna is ok." Morgan replied giving Elena's shoulder a small reassuring squeeze. "Thank you, Morgan. Really, I owe you big time after today."

Morgan continued to the front door but Damon and Andie interrupted her path as they walked in just as she was about to walk out.

"Where do you think you're going?" Damon questioned her reaching out an arm to block her path. "To Elijah." Morgan said simply as she ducked around him.

"No." Damon flashed in front of her blocking her again. "Get out of my way, Dam.." Morgan was interrupted as Damon grabbed her arm harshly.
"Ow?"

"If you so much as try and take a step out of this house.." He began, voice low and threatening. Andie's head peeked around him as she carefully put a hand on his shoulder, "Damon, easy."

"Stay out of this, Andie." He hissed at his play-pretend girlfriend.

"Let her go." Morgan looked to her left as she felt a rush of wind and heard Stefan's voice. Surely enough he'd come to save her. "Are you kidding me? We just got the other one back. Now you want me to let this one go? No way!" Damon defended his actions still keeping a tight grip on Morgan.

Stefan grabbed Damon's arm prying it off the girl. "You heard me. I said let her go." He repeated. Damon glared at his younger brother. "That's twice today you've stood in my way. I wouldn't try a third." He warned.

Morgan quickly slipped out of the door while the two were distracted with one another. "I'll see you later Damon. Try not to kill each other, please."

"Morgana." Elijah greeted as she got out of her car.
"Elijah." It was weird seeing him again, colour in his skin, human, alive..-ish.

"I'm so sorry.." Morgan started off as she handed him one of the to go cups of tea she'd gotten on her way there. She was apologising a lot today, she realised with a tired sigh.
"Long day?" Elijah asked as he regarded her dull eyes.
"You could say that.."

"I know you had nothing to do with Elena and her two boyfriends stabbing me in the back. I know you tried to warn me Morgana, I hold no ill feelings towards you." A small smile graced the girl's lips as she started walking, "Good." She stated, quietly motioning for the Original to follow her.

They'd walked for a while in comfortable silence before heading back to the place where Elena would meet them, chatting about what had happened while Elijah had been asleep in the Boardinghouse cellar, about the past, about worries, everything and nothing.
