RAINA STROLLED INTO THE CLEARING WITH THE WITCH AT HER SIDE. She couldn't be bothered to remember her name though she was certain it was Greta or something along those lines. "I'm a vampire?" Jenna, the dopplegänger's aunt, asked. "And I bet you're hungry" Greta replied as she approached them. The two looked up at her, Elena reached for a sharp rock nearby but the witch sent her flying backward into the dirt with a wave of her hand. "Careful! She's needed alive" Raina groused. She didn't spend all this time keeping the dopplegänger safe for her to die to a careless witch.

Greta acknowledged her with a nod and waved her hand again, creating a circle of fire around Elena. The dopplegänger got to her feet. "Reine?" She asked, puzzled as to why Klaus would need another vampire when he had already turned Jenna. "Close... But no. Reine Michaels isn't a real person. My name is Raina" Raina replied, she watched the shock and betrayal of the realization spread across the dopplegänger's face. She smirked, she always did enjoy this bit, when they realized too late that they'd put their trust in the wrong person.

"Please, just- just let Jenna go" The dopplegänger pleaded. "Well I would darling, but I can't" Raina said. "Why?" Elena asked. "Oh- because I don't feel like it" The Original shrugged. She motioned to Greta who then sliced her own wrist open with a sharp rock. Jenna stared hungrily at the blood that dripped from the wound.

"Klaus chose her" Greta stated. Raina rolled her eyes, she didn't really give a bloody damn who Klaus chose, she just didn't want to go through the trouble of kidnapping and turning another human but this witch seemed to worship Klaus's every word like he was some sort of God. "No" Elena tried. Greta lowered her wrist towards Jenna.

Raina watched the hunger in her gaze with a cruel smirk "You want it don't you? You want it so badly" she cooed. "Jenna, don't!" Elena protested. "Quiet, fool! She'll die if she doesn't" The Original snapped irritably though Jenna would die either way. "I can't" The transitioning vampire said though she tried to resist. "Let her go. Hey!" The dopplegänger continued to try to protest.

Jenna finally gave in to the hunger, sinking her fangs into Greta's bloody wrist. "No! No" Elena cried out, tears glistening in her eyes. It was like watching a TV show, though Raina was only faintly entertained. She was waiting for the real bloodworks to start. "That's enough" Greta said, pulling her wrist out of Jenna's grasp, causing the vampire to fall to the ground. The witch stood up and flicked her wrist, causing a second circle of fire to surround Jenna who retreated from the flames, looking terrified.

"Jenna. It's going to be okay" Elena said in an attempt to comfort her aunt. "Petrova dopplegängers... Such wonderful liars, the whole lot of you" Raina mused. "Look at me. Hey, look at me" Elena continued to speak to her aunt, ignoring the Original. Jenna turned to face her niece, blood still running down her chin.
