The youngest Mikaelson

Act 2

Chapter 1 - ℬ𝒶𝒸𝓀 𝒶ℊ𝒶𝒾𝓃

Mystic Falls, Virginia, 2009
----------------✧✦✧----------------

After I had left Nik, I had been traveling all over the world. I could decide to visit again any place I wanted; Paris, London, Wien, Prague. But no, I travelled back to Mystic Falls. Apparently, I had some kind of bond with this town. Even though, when I thought about it, my favourite city was New Orleans. Despite everything that had happened there, I also remembered the many nice moments. I really loved New Orleans. But in the end, even if I wanted to go there, I simply just couldn't. Nik could be there and I certainly didn't want to meet him.
      I also hoped I wasn't going to meet Stefan in Mystic Falls. Although, I doubted it. Because he didn't have any emotions, so it wasn't most likely possible. Probably just in case someone had managed to flip his emotions on.
      And Damon? I had never thought of him over those years. Why would I? I hadn't even met him anywhere. So it would be a miracle, if I met him in Mystic Falls.
      I hadn't met even Elijah. He had probably finally found Nik.

Perhaps I had never met any of them, because I hadn't looked for them. I had not wanted to find them. Well, I had hoped I would perhaps find Elijah. But like I knew, he would have wanted to get back to Nik and I really had not wanted to end up with a dagger in my heart again. Just like Rebekah. And just like I had ended up, when I had helped Katerina escape. One time was enough.

Every ways end where they started after all.

The first I had arranged, when I had gotten to town, been finding a place to stay. I had compelled some woman, who had lived alone, no family, no one who would be missing her, to let me stay at her place. And of course I "hadn't fed" on her afterwards.
     
"Her death had been tragic and there hadn't been anything I could have done for her to save her life." Police had covered it with animal attack. So easy.
     
Therefore I was clear and could continue in feeding safely. There was no one who would be suspecting me. Everyone thought I was her granddaughter, who came to visit. There was no way I would kill my grandmother. Why would I? She had been my grandmother. I was really a good actress after all. Nik had been right. Thanks to my talent, I didn't have to be hungry and the police had something to entertain themselves with.

Although, I had to admit, I was rather surprised that it had taken me the whole week to find out Stefan was really here. And what was worse, Damon was with him. So he was a vampire after all. Ironic was that he was in a council, looking for vampires and helping the town to get rid of them. And another funny thing was that Stefan was a "good brother". He went into a local high school. So someone probably had managed to flip his emotions on. Luckily they didn't know about me. But I could make some dramatic entrance. It would be fun to see their faces. The realization of me being in town the whole time. Well, they knew there was a new vampire in town. What they didn't know was, that it was me, who they were tracking all that time.
     
What I also hadn't expected, was to find that girl. For first I had thought it was Katerina. However, she wasn't.

"Kat?" I called to Katerina. She turned around and looked at me. "How is it you're here?" I asked her.

"I'm sorry, I think you have the wrong person," she said nervously.

"Who are you?" I asked her, but when I noticed the necklace on her neck, everything was suddenly clear. It wasn't Katerina. That girl had Rebekah's necklace on. But where had she taken it? She had to be a doppelgänger. However, that wasn't explaining the necklace.

"I'm Elena," she introduced herself.

"Where did you take this necklace?" I was looking at her sternly.
