The Other Gilbert (1) TVD

Crying wolf

"Twinkle twinkle little star" Emma sang as her hands graced the star necklace around her neck. It was new, had she obtained herself only hours ago, and obtained can be translated that she found it laying in her mother's old things. Had she gotten bored earlier and decided to do what no one else in the house had done, unless it was for a fundraiser. "How I wonder what you are" she turned to look at herself in the mirror, her hair naturally fell in it's messy loose curls, her clothes styled to make her look as innocent as possible. Emma was excellent at playing the role of her host, for as long as she needed. But it was different with Emma.

She fought back, as she was at the moment. But she never won, she didn't know how, but she tried and never gave up. It was irritating for Emma, but she had been around long enough to know how to win a fight. Especially one like this. A knock on her door made her turn around and there she saw Jenna leaning against the door frame, light smile on her face. "It's been a long time since I heard you sing" she said and Emma gave a light shrug. "What can I say? Today's gonna be a good day" she said in  asking song voice before turning back to her reflection and slipping her jacket on.

"Speaking of, I'm heading to the lockwoods, wanna join" Jenna changed the subject and Emma let out a small laugh "Alaric coming too, plus I don't think I can take ms. Lockwood on by myself " she let out a chuckle with her words and Emma grinned turning to face her aunt with a smile "I'm in."

Jenna smiled before walking back Downstairs and Emma went to follow suit when her phone buzzed in her pocket and she took it out reading the message.

Their at Dunham lake -J

And Katharine? -E

Emma let out a breath and her shoulders relaxed as she waited a reply, everything needed to be perfect, it needed to work. Tonight plan A would take effect and plan B would soon follow.

Filled in and ready. -J

A smirked stretched her face as she put her phone back in her pocket and began heading down the stairs no dad then out to the lockwoods for a night she was sure would fill her cravings of mischief right up. It only took a few minutes to get there since they knew the way off the back of their head, and Emma as a little under dressed but she was just a teenager after all. She stood by Jenna's side and croaked jokes while Elijah was off to the side taking to ms. Lockwood.

"Oh god" Jenna grumbled and Emma followed her gaze and her smiled quickly turned into a scowl when Damon was in hereby eye sight. Emma and Emma both hated him, one thing they had in common, well there was a few mire, but that was a story for another time. "What's he doing here?" She grumbled out and Jenna did not reply had she gone over to question Damon on her own, and the answer was clear when Andie came in and shared a chaste kiss with Damon, who said something to Emma before moving forward to ms. Lockwood and Elijah.

Emma stood straighter as she got closer to the group of three, pretending to be doing something else as they talked and greeted one another.but her sneaking got cut short when Elijah and Damon left to another room and she scowled turning around to find Jenna but she couldn't find her aunt anywhere so with a sigh she turned and left the house. She could feel herself begin followed but she kept walking until she was far enough into the parking lot that she turned around and crossed her arms.

She was greeting with nothing, but the hairs in the back of her neck stood up and a coy smile came to her face. "Your behind me, aren't you?" She asked aloud and though she couldn't see a smile tugged up on his lips and she turned around once more coming face to face with Elijah. "Stalking me? That's a new low" she said raising a perfectly arched brow as a small chuckle left his mouth "same could be said about you" a pleasant sigh left her mouth and her arms fell to her sides and a mischief glistened in her eyes.

"Call me curious" she shrugged and lie,always he had something to say back, "and it was curiosity that killed the cat"  he reminded her but she  just smirked, taking a step closer to the original vampire, she could feel Emma cowering way ins die her and her smirk grew.

"And satisfaction brought it back" she finished eyeing him "so tell me, what's your plan?" She asked nicely and it wasn't something that Emma did very often, but considering the circumstances and yet how it wasn't time to go through her final plan, she had to patiently play along with everyone else's.  A light smile crossed his face as he hands slid into his pockets with ease. "We have a deal, a common goal if you will...." He dragged out "but that doesn't mean you need to know everything"

"How will you kill klaus?" Emma asked Elijah, they had been talking all day and now they stood outside the Salvatore boarding house, they knew the wolves were in their torturing Damon and that Alaric was slightly dead. "After the sacrifice" he answered and Emma nodded slightly "when I'm dead and Emma's a vampire...." She trailed off, playing him and he nodded his head before Turing to her slightly "I'd like to speak with her" he said in no slightly demanding tone, but yet he was still walking for permission Emma gave a devious smirk but complied and closed her eyes and for a second her body fell limp and Elijah easily caught her.

When her eyes opened again, they were softer doe eyes and a confused look crossed over her face "Elijah..." She breathed out and he helped her stand up straight, she looked around seeing where she was and her heart rate started to beat faster so many questions running though her mind. She shrugged out of his hold "what happened? Why..." A look of realization crossed her face "she did it again, didn't she?" She asked and he didn't answer but she saw it in his eyes, she did. Elijah tilted his he'd listening in on what was happening in the boarding house, and in a flash he was gone. As the wind brushed through hair she panicked glancing around at his sudden leaving.

"It's time Emma" the sickly sweet voice said in her head and Emma shook her head shutting her eyes tightly. "No." She said but only let out a scream and fell to her knees as a sudden rush of pain came from her head. She grew stringer, before it was just light pains, but now Emma could hear here, feel her, it scared her more than anything. "Please no" Emma begged but the pain only came back just mire painful nod Emma gripped her head letting out another call for help. "You seriously want to watch as they all leave you? You want to feel that same old depressed feeling you always feel again?" The voice taunted her and Emma gave up as the pain came off, she was trying to win her over, remind her how bad her life is.

"No" Emma answered a tear falling from her eye "then let me in, Emma. You don't ever have to feel that again." She didn't want to fell any of that again, she didn't want to watch as they all left her over and over again. But she didn't want to miss everything, she couldn't even ember the last time she was in control of her own body. "I-I want to remember" she stuttered out, it went silent, as she waited patiently for an answer her breathing became even and the cold air made it easier for her to see her breath. "Fine" She said suddenly causing Emma to jump "by day I'm in control and by night you are, but if you don't comply I will take everything"

Emma nodded her head furiously, she didn't know why or how, maybe she needed her the will in Emma, or maybe there was a lot he he needed to do that she couldn't do unless Emma helped her. But Emma wasn't going to take that for granted, no, she needed to get help, but she knew the moment she went to get help or even thought about it, she would come back and Emma didn't know what she would do. She was to scared to eve think, so without a second thought she ran.
