Here we go again

Chapter 2

Nina’s pov

It had been a week since Klaus’ party and I had managed to escape all possible encounters with a certain vamp. I was pretty happy with myself, trying to hide from someone in this little town was quite a challenge especially if the said person was a vampire with enhanced abilities. However, I could not stop myself from seeing the doppelganger; Elena was her name I believe. The more I observed her, the more I believed that this little fragile human knew too much. She had information that concerned Klaus which I needed, to protect Rebekah and Kol; information which could give me the upper hand on Klaus.

That’s why, I finally decided to go and talk to her. I went to the Mystic grill and waited for her to show up. I was sitting at the bar with my glass of whiskey when I sensed her, the Bennet witch. I knew I had to flea her presence because she would feel it straight away and I did not want her to possess such insight on me. I was trying to be discreet, but it was very difficult when I had a bright golden tank top.  To escape her scrutinizing gaze, I left the bar and sat on a bench opposite the grill to check who came in and out. The cold weather did not faze me, right now it helped, it kept me awake while I waited for Elena.

After a few hours of waiting and a few drinks, I saw her go inside the grill; I walked in after her, like a panther tracking his prayer, quietly and with grace. She settled down in a table in a faraway corner, far from the curious eyes and I joined her immediately.

Elena’s pov

I had finally managed to find a way to corner Klaus. Esther was going to be able to kill him thanks to her son Finn. But it also meant that the others would have to die. Kol, I did not mind, Rebekah, it was ok, Elijah however, that was a whole other question. I could not believe that I was killing the person who tried to help me whenever he could. Somehow I had managed to lie to him at the ball, but I do not know how I will manage to keep this up.

I was also worried about this girl that came in that night. She walked in with a grace and poise that did not belong to this century, the way she carried herself was hypnotizing. I couldn’t help but feel threatened by this women, she clearly was a vampire, and one that seemed to make everyone cringe, even Klaus. She obviously knew the originals well, cold Rebekah smiled to her and she managed to tame Kol which had to be an exploit. I did not see much of her though because I quickly left to meet with Esther and then to deal with Stephan.

On top of that, Damon was even stranger than usual. He was constantly lost in his thoughts and whispering about a certain Nina; he even asked Stephan if he had any memory of this girl. To which Stephen offered an evasive answer. Damon did not seem to pick it up (he was really out of it), but I knew he was lying, he had to know who she was or he wouldn’t’ have tried to change the subject so quickly.

All those thoughts were starting to unnerve me and I decided to go and relax at the grill. I went inside and opted for a quiet corner in the back of the bar. As soon as I sat down, the women of the ball sat in the opposite bench. I was cornered, it was impossible for me to leave the table. I stayed silent, not wanting to piss off a vamp. Up close she seemed less frightening. I did not know why but it was fine by me.

“I need you to tell me what you and Esther are up to Elena” She said, I was frozen. How could she have known about that? How did she know me?

“Look I know you probably think I’m a crazy vamp who’s only going to complicate your life a little more, but I couldn’t care less about you right now. And I do not mean to that in a bad way, but right now I have family to protect so I would appreciate if you could tell me Esther little plan and then I will leave you alone.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about! And I do not see why I should speak with a stranger!” I was trying to buy myself some time, but I knew I would have to cave in at some point, she seemed to really want an answer and I was pretty sure she would go to any lengths to get the information.

“I’m Nina, now that I am not stranger anymore do you feel like revealing your little secret to me?”

“…”Nina, was she the girl Damon kept wondering about? She was becoming more and more mysterious.

“No answer, well, well, well. You think you‘re pretty smart right now don’t you. You think that Esther is really going to get you rid of Nicklaus and that everything will be back to your normal perfect life. Let me tell you something little girl, this is how it’s going to go; Esther will try to get rid of her son but she will not be able to do it, not when the only power she has is her own, she’s too weak to even do a spell on her own right now” She was really angry now, she was trying not to speak to loud so as not to attract the attention of the other customers.

“So you want to protect Klaus form his mother now, isn’t it a little pathetic?” I know I should probably try to keep a low profile, but it didn’t seem to work out well did it?

And then she did something unexpected, she started to laugh as if I had just told the funniest joke ever. She was trying to speak but she couldn’t because she was laughing so much.  Right then I couldn’t help but like her a little, her laugh made all her frightening side disappear and be replaced by a warm, full of life person. And that is when I finally understood why she was not so frightening up close. Her eyes. They had this light in them, a warmth which lightened her face. The lines of her face helped too, they were soft, her face was as smooth as a pearl, it didn’t seem like she could hide much because it would all be reflected with sincerity.

“You think I want to save Klaus. This is like the funniest thing anyone has told me in a long time. You see Elena I hate Klaus and I want to bring him down. However I do not believe Esther will be capable to do such a thing and I have a bad feeling about her plan so I would appreciate if you could tell me was she is up to.”

“How do you plan on killing the strongest thing on this planet if you do have the help on the one person who probably knows how?”

“Look Elena there are plenty of things you do not know about me and believe me I am very sure that if the little Bennet witch helped me it could be the end of him.”

“How do I know you’re telling me the truth?”

“You don’t. You’ll just have to trust me.”

I don’t know why I did it but I decided to tell her everything. Maybe it was because of this kindness that she possessed as well as the force and confidence that emanated from her. Maybe it was because she was by far the vampire who behaved the best. I do not know but I do not care, I just tell her the truth

“She bonded her children together so that if one of them dies then they will all die. Finn is her accomplice and will sacrifice himself so that his siblings will die. She’ll do it two days from now.” Just saying those few words took everything away from me. But it was nothing compared to the look on Nina’s face, it was as if all the life had been sucked out of her. After this first phase of shock, I could only see anger and determination.

Nina’s pov

“So you were going to let them all die in order to get rid of Klaus?”

“Yes, it would’ve been really difficult to see them all die especially Elijah but if it meant that my family was safe from Klaus then yes.”

“I am going to stop this madness right now Elena and you’re going to help me. I am not letting Kol and Rebekah die, do you understand? They are my only family and I am not about to sacrifice them”
