The Girl of Prophecy

The House Guest

[Salvatore Boarding House]

Alura walks down the stairs groaning. "Those two are soo annoying." Referring to Elena and Stefan making out upstairs. As she reaches the parlor, she stops in her tracks. In front of her is very clearly Katherine who is wearing Elena's clothing. She looks over to Damon whom is reading a Gilbert Journal in the living room, then back to Katherine. Bitch actually stuck around. I don't know if that's stupid or brave... but boy will this be entertaining.

"Good morning, Damon." Katherine says, pretending to be Elena.

He looks at her then rushes over and pushes her against the wall by the throat. "What are you doing here? I told you to leave."

Katherine feigns innocence. "What is your problem?"

"You're wearing her clothes? Like that's going to work." Damon rightfully accuses her.

Katherine's eyes widen as she puts on the Elena act. "You think I'm Katherine? Why would you think that? Katherine's in the tomb! Isn't she?" Damon releases her in confusion as Stefan arrives.

"What the hell's going on here?" Stefan asks, having heard the commotion.

Katherine looks at Stefan expectantly. "I don't know, you tell me. Is Katherine in the tomb or not?" She says, still fooling the brothers. Stefan immediately rushes upstairs to Elena, Damon following.

Alura watches both brothers vamp up the stairs before turning to Katherine. "I don't know if they're just dumb or if you've gotten really good at pretending to be Elena. I'm leaning towards both. But, damn that was entertaining."

"How did I know you'd enjoy that?" Katherine rolls her eyes. "Shall we join them?"

Both women join the men upstairs to find Stefan pinning Elena to the wall by the throat. "Stop it Katherine!" Stefan accuses his girlfriend.

"Stop what?" Katherine asks from the doorway. She leans against the door frame, and looks at the clearly distressed Elena. "It's getting really easy being you."

Elena glares at her doppelganger. "What is she doing here?"

"When we daggered Elijah, it broke the compulsion and freed the bitch from the tomb." Alura answers casually.

"How's that possible?" Elena asks.

"He's an Original. They have all sorts of special skills." Damon says frustration in his voice.

"I don't want you here. Get her out of here." Elena demands, quite pathetically.

Katherine rolls her eyes at Elena's attempt to be tough. "You need me, Elena. You all do." She gives Alura the side eye.

"Like hell." Damon spits, as Ali scoffs. I sure as hell don't need her.Katherine makes her way into the room.

"We all want the same thing...Klaus dead. Yet here you all are, running around like chickens with their heads cut off." She pointedly looks at Damon.

"I don't need your help and I don't want it." Elena refuses.

"Oh please, the only reason your head it still connected to your shoulders is because I found your little stunt mildly entertaining. Lets not push our luck shall we?" Alura smirks at Katerina.

Katherine ignores Alura and gets face to face with Elena. "And that's incredibly stupid of you. Do you know where Klaus is? When he's coming, what he looks like?" No, but I could easily guess: close by, he's definitely close if not here, and yes, I'd sure hope I know what the bastard looks like considering I've known him for a thousand years.
