Alaric/Klaus' POV
I watched as she danced. Never with anyone other than the 2 teens that I saw her with frequently. I also noticed a vampire watching them from the shadows of the school, his eyes never left them and there was a trace of love when he saw them laughing. The Salvatore brothers were on high guard surrounding the doppelgänger, they were talking about when I would show up and what I would look like but my attention was on my little which. She garnered everyone's attention without trying, I had compelled a few students and they only had the minimum information on her but one thing they had in common was that they respected and looked up to the young teen. Like those popular girls in every teen drama movie, I also noticed that the trio was a separate group from the Scooby-Doo gang despite 2 members of each group being siblings. This intrigued me as I have never met a Bennett witch that was so distant from her family, Ayana always took pride in being a Bennett witch as family is one of the most important things to their line. So I wonder what would make a Bennett witch that was so powerful disregard her family's oldest tradition.

Taking my eyes off the group I watched as the girl I compelled walked up to the microphone garnering the attention of the others.

"Thanks for being here, everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight." She greeted, Elena, Stefan, Bonnie, and Damon stopped in front of the stage. "This is for Bianca." Eyes landed on the girl mentioned but she just smiled. "From Klaus, he says you look absolutely breathtaking." They played a song afterward and the Scooby-Doo gang seemed stunned.

"That was a lame, cheap shot." I heard the elder Salvatore state. "He's just trying to bait us." His eyes then raked over Bianca with clear lust. "He's trying to make it seem as if he's not after Elena."

"I know everyone here." The Doppelganger said. "If he came for me why would he tell Donna to say Bianca's name?".

"He's just trying to confuse us." His eyes met mine. "Be on guard, I'll be back." He made his way toward me and stood next to me.

"Special dedication, huh?" I questioned. "This guy's a little twisted."

"I'm not impressed." Damon scowled.

"No?".

"Don't take his response to heart." We looked up to see the youngest Gilbert sibling, he threw a smirk in Damon's direction. "He's being prissy because his ex-girlfriend's look-a-like doesn't want him and someone gave a shout-out to the only girl he can't get to sleep with him or look in his general direction."

"I think it was quite impressive." A velvety voice called, looking up I saw the face of the voice that had been plaguing my mind. "A man that can rile up his targets without showing his face or strength yet speak volumes, don't you agree, Mr. Saltzman?" Her eyes met one and for a few seconds, I felt something stir deep within me, her eyes gave a distinct glow and I could see her looking at me, not the vessel I was possessing but the real me.

"Alright witchy, what's your deal?" Damon cut in just as I was about to speak. "Some psycho compels a few people and you're suddenly on his side."

"Damon, I didn't notice you there when did you arrive?".

"Look this guy wants something from the girl I told my brother I would help him protect and that means if the 2 of you or anyone else gets in the way." He was cut off when he was suddenly brought to his knees, a strained groan left his lips and I turned my attention to Bianca who was looking at her nails in total admiration.

"Hey, do you like the length of these nails?" She questioned as she held out her hand to Jeremy, his eyes filled with amusement. "I like the color but not the length."

"You chose that style out of the 40 you saw because you wanted to leave." He said. "And now you want to change it?".

"It's not my fault." she whined. "Tyler was rushing me and I got fed up so I chose something."

"Not that I don't love to hear how this conversation ends." I spoke getting their attention. "We are getting attention from the high schoolers and Elena is making her way over here." The two looked and saw the doppelganger marching over.

"Twenty bucks and you make her fall in front of everyone." Jeremy held out the money and Bianca grabbed it. The next thing I heard was a thud and the music was cut off then silence. Elena had face-planted onto the floor in the middle of the gym and everyone was staring at her, she looked up and had a horrified look on her face. Jeremy laughed as Bianca pulled out her phone and took a photo which triggered everybody to do the same. The two girls that Elena came with rushed to her aid and ushered her out of the gym as laughter filled the gym.

"This isn't over witchy." Damon snarled as he followed the trio of girls out of the gym.

"Are you having fun?" I turned my attention to the new trio in front of me, Jeremy and Tyler stood on either side of the witch. "If not hurry it up, we along with your brother are waiting on you to discuss what will happen from here on."

"What's the rush, sweetheart?" I asked.

"Time is not on our side and if you want to achieve what you came here to do then you will speed up this game of cat and mouse you are currently playing with those baby vamps and the doppelganger." Jeremy stated and I looked at Bianca.

"You had almost made an unwanted enemy out of your brother and the brainless bunch will stop at nothing to try and get rid of you just because they know that you are after the doppelganger." Tyler added. "They will be a constant pain in the ass until they get the answers they want."

"So hurry this game along and when you are through meet us at the house." Bianca spoke. "The location will be known to you when you want it."

"I'll be sure to have my fun then darling." I smirked then went to find the doppelganger.
