UNCEPXECT

Chapter One

The first thing Elena became aware of upon waking was the pain. Her chest felt like in had been stabbed, but then again maybe it had. All she remembered was watching Rebekah fall, her skin turning grey. If one of the Original siblings had been naturlized with a white oak ash dagger, they would all have felt the effect, right? But then why had she fallen prey to the stab wound, too?

Her chest felt like that time, a few years ago, when she had gotten the flu and coughed so hard she pulled a muscle. Only this felt about a hundred times worse.

She could hear breathing nearby and footsteps echoing from somewhere. The damp, cold walls of the cave around her was dripping water onto the floor, drip drip drip.

Her eyes opened and she took in the low lighting of the cave. Rebekah was seated across from her, but did not seem to have noticed her being awake yet. That's odd.

"Bekah," she heard a voice yell. The person yelling must only have been about thirty feet or so away and at first Elena had thought it was Klaus. Who else would call for Rebekah in the tunnels in a British accent?

"Kol, is that you?" Rebekah was on her feet now, "Nik? Elijah? What's going on? Hurry, somethings wrong with the doppleganger!"

Elena shifted a bit then, "uh," she groaned, taking a big pull of damp air into her lungs and wincing. "Ow... what's wrong with me? What happened?"

The female Original then looked at her. "Oh, you're awake?" She sneered, giving her a small glare from the corner of her eye.

At that moment, Elijah came around the corner with Kol and thay had a limp Finn supported between them. At seeing Elena propped against the wall of the cave, a pained expression on her face and groaning, Elijah jumped to the worst conclusion. Concern for the lastest doppelganger flooding him, he rounded on his sister.

"What happened Rebekah? I told you not to harm Elena. Taking her was merely a bluff to the Salvatores."

"I didn't do anything to her, I swear, Elijah. What went wrong, though?" Rebekah asked her brothers, "Who was daggered, because whatever is linking us is linked to her, too. But Elena, being human, just started bleeding out. She's lucky she's worth more alive than dead and that I woke up right away and gave her some blood."

"Can we stop talking about HER like she's not here?" Elena snapped at Rebekah.

"Whatever, fine," Rebekah snapped back before rounding on her brothers again. "But can someone please tell me what the bloody hell happened?"

"Well, it's obvious, isn't it?" Kol said, smugly as he dropped Finn to the ground none too lightly. He made no move to finish his explainsion.

"Well, what's obvious? Hmm, nitwit, share with the bloody class." Shouted Rebekah at Kol, "and where's Nik?"

Elijah rolled his eyes and reaching up, he pinched the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger at his younger siblings's displays. A thousand years old and they still act like children. "Kol, don't bait Rebekah. And Rebekah, don't sink to Kol's level."

"You're linked," spoke Elena, quietly. "We're all linked. Last night at the ball, your mother asked if she could talk to me, alone." Elena drew in a breath and winced again slightly at the pain before continuing. "Finn introduced himself and told me that I was to see Esther alone or not at all. So Stefan and I got Damon alone so Stefan could break his neck and keep him out of the way, so he wouldn't stop me. He was not a fan of my meeting with Esther, since she's already tried to kill me once before."

"On my way up, Elijah stopped me, he asked that I tell him what his mother wanted." She turned to the Orignal in question as she said the next part. "I'm so sorry for lying to you, Elijah, I never wanted to hurt you. You, I actually cconsider somewhat of a friend." She smiled weakly at him here but he was refusing to meet her eyes, she looked down saddened. "Anyway, we were told that whatever was in the sealed coffin was a way to kill Klaus- where is he by the way?"
