There Was No World For Her, If There Was No Damon

Cured

Adrian's POV:

The looks on my brothers' faces were priceless. Stefan's forest green eyes were wide as he stared at me speechless. Damon was laying in a four poster bed that was sitting in the middle of the large bedroom. He didn't look good either. He was normally really pale, but not as pale as he looked now and his crystal blue eyes were tired and feverish.

My eyes left my older brother and traveled to the woman beside him. My own eyes widened as I recognized her brown hair, brown eyes, and perfectly plucked eyebrows. Before I could stop them, my veins fell down my face and I let my werewolf side give a growl,"Katherine."

I flashed in front of the surprised woman but, before I could grab her, a pale sweaty hand clamped around my wrist. I whipped my head around and growled at Damon who was doing his best at giving me a death glare. He hissed at me when I tried to lunge for Katherine again who quickly backed away with a little girl that resembled her greatly in her arms.

"She's not.." Damon wheezed without breaking eye contact. "Katherine."

"Yeah and I'm not Adrian," I yanked my wrist out of his grasp and shot her a cold look before I lunged at her again.

I was suddenly thrown into a wall and pinned by my throat. I growled and flashed my fangs and Elijah returned the favor by giving me a good look at his fangs. He looked very pissed and his grip on my neck tightened.

"Adrian, what are you doing?!" Elijah growled as his dark eyes glared at me. "We didn't come here to end a life! We came here to save one!"

"Do you have any idea what that manipulative bitch did to me and my family?! She drove us apart, Elijah! She drove us to hatred and then she got us killed!"

His face became sympathetic as he studied me and I felt my face return to normal,"I know what she did. She did the same thing to Niklaus and I, but that woman over there is not Katherine. Adrian, that's her dopplegänger, Elena Gilbert. She is also the mother of your niece."

My eyes flicked from Elena and the girl I assumed was Stella to Stefan and the woman identical to Elena. That's when I realized that she was Katherine. I noticed the wedding band on her left hand and saw a similar band on Stefan's hand. No way. You have got to be kidding me!

"You little bastard!" I growled at my little brother as he pulled Katherine behind him and gave me a cold stare.

"Adrian!" Elijah yelled my name in my face determined to calm me down. "Adrian, stop this foolishness!"

I returned my gaze to Elijah,"You knew didn't you?! I thought you were my friend, Elijah!"

"I am, Adrian! But I'm also somewhat fond of these people too!" He glanced behind him at my brothers and their wives who were obviously shocked by his words. "Now, you're going to heal your brother and then we are going to walk straight out that door and leave."

We were silent as we stared each other down. The tension in the room was crazy high and the emotions were insane. Damon suddenly coughed violently and covered his mouth with a wad of tissues. When he pulled them away I instantly smelled fresh blood. He then looked up at me pleadingly with his ice blue eyes that were swimming with genuine fear.

"Fine," I snapped and both Damon and Elena looked relieved. "I'll do it."

Elena's POV:

I sat Stella onto the bed and she crawled underneath the sheets next to Damon then laid her head on his chest. I smiled as I watched Damon put his arm around her and peck the top of her head.

My attention went back to Elijah who slowly released the chocolate haired middle Salvatore. It was amazing how much Adrian resembled Stefan and Damon even though he was only their half brother.
