"There are no accidental meetings between souls."
Caelum woke up to a pounding headache, and their forehead and hands stinging. Cuts covered their hands, and Caelum winced as they were thrown onto an old couch.
A man began to take off his hat, glasses, and jacket and threw them onto the couch beside me. As Caelum looked around, taking some comfort in seeing their twin beside them.
A touch to Caelum's wrists sparked their attention. The man was taking their binds off, and leaned in.
"What are you doing?" Caelum hissed.
"Sweetheart, just a taste." Caelum lunged and the man jumped back as a woman's voice cried out.
"Trevor! Control yourself!" The woman had short dark hair and walked closer.
"Buzzkill." Trevor walked away, eyeing Elena and Caelum hungrily.
Elena then gasped as she woke up, looking around in panic.
"What- where- someone help!" She screamed out.
"Oh my god, you look just like her." The woman said, staring at Elena.
"But I'm not-"
"Elena, she knows." Caelum spoke up, as the woman nodded along to their words.
"What do you want?" Elena persisted, and Caelum winced.
"Elena." Caelum said in a warning tone.
"I know I look like Katherine, but-"
The woman stalked forward and slapped Elena harshly, hitting her so hard that she was knocked out. Caelum rolled her eyes. "I want you to be quiet."
As the woman went to leave, Caelum called out. "Wait. What's...what's your name?"
The woman smiled lightly and replied to Caelum softly. "Rose-Marie. But call me Rose."

Caelum looked around as they picked up pieces of a conversation, which was rushed. Elena, who had woken up by now, moved closer and gestured to Caelum, who rolled their eyes but moved forward.
"How's the girls?" Rose asked and Caelum scrunched their nose up.
"They're fine. One's asleep, the other quiet as a mouse."
"You didn't touch them right?"
"Give me some credit, Rose. So you called him?"
"No, I called one of his contacts. You know how this works."
"Look. Did you, or did you not, get the message to Elijah?" Caelum's stomach jumped as they heard that name. Elijah. It seems so...familiar, but they couldn't place it.
"They say he got it."
"Wonderful. And what?"
"And that's it, Trevor. He either got it or he didn't. We just have to wait."
"Well then it's not too late. We can leave them and go. We don't have to go through with this!"
