The House Guest

Evelyn

"Hey, Damon," I say as I walk into the boarding house. He looks up and smiles. Elena walks in the living room, fixing her scarf.

"Good morning, Damon." She looks at me, and something seems off about her. There's a small glint in her eye when she smiles at me. It can't be Katherine; she's in the tomb, but why do I feel uneasy around her? "Good morning, Evelyn." Before I can say anything, Damon vamps her against the wall, choking her.

"What are you doing here? I told you to leave."

"What is your problem?" She asks him. "Evelyn, help me."

"You're wearing her clothes now?" I look at him, confused. "Like that's gonna work."

"You think I'm Katherine? Why would you think that? Katherine's in the tomb. Isn't she?" She looks between me and Damon as he slowly releases her, and Stefan runs downstairs.

"What the hell's going on here?"

"I don't know, you tell me. Is Kathrine in the tomb or not?" Stefan quickly vamps upstairs, and I look at the person in front of me. "Evelyn, why didn't you help me?" She holds onto her neck.

"How did you get out?" She looks at me confused.

"You seriously think—" I cut her off.

"Cut the crap already; I know it's you." She smirks.

"Wow, how did you know it was me and not Elena?"

"A gut feeling." I shrug. She smirks at me before vamping up the stairs, and I follow behind her.

"Stop it, Katherine!" Stefan yells, choking Elena.

"Stop what?" She leans against the doorway. "It's getting really easy being you."

"What is she doing here?" Elena paces, glaring at Katherine as we all stand in the room.

"When we killed Elijah, it broke the compulsion and freed the bitch from the tomb," Damon explains.

"How's that possible?" Stefan questions.

"He's an original. They have all sorts of special skills," Katherine tells him.

"I don't want you here. Get her out of here," Elena demands angrily, still pacing.

"You need me, Elena. You all do." Katherine looks at all of us.

Stefan scoffs. "Like hell."

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

"We don't trust you." I glare at her.

"I don't need your help, and I don't want it." Elena shakes her head.

"That's incredibly stupid of you. Do you know where Klaus is? When he's coming? What he looks like?" She asks.

"If you know something, say it or get out," Damon tells her.

"Fine, then I'll just go to the grill and have some lunch. Maybe Aunt Jenna's free for a bite." I try to vamp towards her, but Damon stops me.

"How are things going with Matt?" Evelyn questions as she and Caroline stand at her locker.

"Not good." She sighs. "Elena invited me and Bonnie for girls night; are you going to be there?"

"Only for you." Evelyn nudges her, making her chuckle.

"I thought you were skipping today." She looks at Evelyn, confused.
