Alyssandra Gilbert - The Forbidden Doppelganger

Chapter Fourteen

Gilbert Residence
Elena and Stefan were lying on her bed together, conversing about the previous days events. While I was laying on the foot of my bed, my head hanging off the bed and my legs waving in the air.

"Stefan, who was that man in the road?"

"I don't know," Stefan answered honestly. "Do you remember anything else about him?"

"I wish. I never really saw his face. He was wearing a hoodie. All I can remember is that there was these black boots coming towards me," Elena replied.

Without looking at their direction, I point at them. Well, whatever Stefan was at. "Don't you dare look at me, because I have no idea who it is. I was knocked out remember."

Stefan sighs. "I brought some vervain for, um - for you two and Jenna." He gets up from the bed and walks to the end of Elena's bed and grabs a box. Elena sits up straight, while I layed in my original position, looking over at Stefan. Stefan opens the box. "And, um, I made this bracelet for Jeremy, few extra ones for friends." Stefan hands Elena the bracelet. She takes it and observes it. "You can put it in jewelry, or you can even put it in food or drink, but as long as it's in you or on you, a vampire cannot control you." Stefan hands Elena a small vial of liquid vervain.

This time, I sat up looking over at them, as Elena picks up a dried up branch of vervain from the box.

"Wow. So much to remember."

"I know, but there's another vampire in town. So until we find out who it is and what he wants, we have to be careful," Stefan tells us, looking from Elena then me.

We nod understandingly.

"Elena, Lys, I need the money!" Jeremy yells from downstairs.

Elena looks over at me, and I look back at her. "What?" She gives me a look. "Why?" She gives me another look, which I reply with an eye roll. "Fine." I roll off my bed and straightens my clothes, and look up to see Stefan's confused expression.

"What just happened?" He asked, pointing between the two of us.

I grab my wallet off my dresser, then walked to Stefan. "She's kicking me out of our room, so that I would go pay the pizza guy and leave you two here alone, to do god knows what."

We look over at Elena, who has a big smile on her face. We looked back at each other.

"You got all that from face expressions?"

"Yup."

"Wow."

"I know."

Stefan shook his head. "I will never understand this 'twin' thing."

I smile at him, before existing the room and skipped down the steps. Once I got to the bottom of the stairs and saw the pizza guy standing in the foyer holding the pizzas. He places the pizza on the table while I give him the cash.

"Hi. Keep the change," I hand him the money, who takes it and starts to walk backwards out of the house.

"Thanks," he sends me a sly smile. "And you have yourself a good night."

I smile back and shut the door.

Mystic Falls High
We were in the front courtyard, Elena, Caroline, and I were walking across the lawn together.

"It's so pretty," Caroline said, as she was observing the necklace around her neck that Elena just gave her. "Thank you. God, it'll go with, like, everything. What's the occasion?"
