Here We Go Again: TVD Doppelgänger #5

S1E4

~Damon's POV~

"What the hell is wrong with you! She's her doppelgänger!"
"I know! This is my second chance!"
"No you can't do that! She's not Elena. Elena is dead!"
"I know she's not Elena, clearly. She's as beautiful as Elena but she has Kathrine's edge."
"You can't just move on with her look alike."
"I'm not Stefan. Elena wanted me to move on and be happy after she passed away. We talked about this way before she was lying on her deathbed!"
"So you're going to move on with someone who looks exactly like her?"
"Skylar is different!"
"How?"
"I knew she was in town. I was there the day she hopped out of the car with her family. They were just moving in, and I was taken back. I did research because there's no way in hell the Petrova line continued after Elena, but it did. Kathrine was a lying bitch who had twins. That runs in their family. Nadia wasn't her only child, she had a son. From that side there was a whole other line of Petrovas but we didn't know because he was adopted and his name changed thus giving us the André family."
"Why'd you go up to her?"
"Curiosity I guess. With just our simple conversation at the school I knew she's nothing like either of them. Yes she's got similarities but Sky is her own person and it intrigues me. And this time I don't have my pesky little brother to fight for over her."
"This could end badly."
"I'm willing to take that chance. So high school?"
"Caroline saw Sky. We needed to investigate."
"What happened to never wanting to go back?"
"Another Petrova doppelgänger."

~Skylar's POV~

"Good morning Sky!"
"Hey guys thanks for the ride."
"No problem we can drive you everyday if you want."
"I made you guys some hot chocolate." I hand them both cups. Caroline takes one sip and begins to choke.
"Wrong pipe." The car ride was kind of silent with some conversation.

~Caroline's POV~ school parking lot

"We'll meet you inside," I tell Sky. Once she's out of earshot I turn to Stefan. "Don't drink that! It's laced with vervain."
"What why?"
"Either she knows or this town know we're back."
"I don't think she knows. We have to figure out a way to find out." I nod and Stefan pulls me into a hug.

~Mystic Falls Grill~

"Day drinking on a Tuesday afternoon?"
"It was either that or actually sitting through another math class. What are you doing here Damon?"
"I'm meeting an old friend."

"Elena?" I turn towards the man standing behind me.
"Klaus, this is Skylar. Sky this is the old friend I mentioned."
"Oh my mistake love you just remind me so much of..."
"Elena or Kathrine?" He gives a shocked look. "Yeah I've gotten that a lot since I've gotten here. I guess I'll leave you two to whatever and get back to school."
"No please join us. I would love to get to know you."
"Uh Sky was on her way back to school. Weren't you?"
"Yeah why not I didn't actually plan on making it back to school. " I giggle. Damon seems irritated but his friend was being charming. We move away from the bar and sit at a table for three.

"So, Sky is it?" I nod. "What brings you to Mystic Falls?"
"Just moved here with my family."
"And you're already hanging with the bad brother?" He chuckles.
"Sadly." Both Klaus and I grin at Damon.
"And here I've been thinking I was the good brother."
"Debatable," I laugh.
"Yes especially if we study your history."
"And Stefan's is squeaky clean?" I was lost in the conversation.
"Anyways. Klaus, do you live around here?"
"No I live in New Orleans with my family."
"I would love to visit there one day."
"If you ever find your way down there please contact me. It would be great to grab a bite with you." He says bite kind of oddly and enunciated it.
"Well we better get going. I have to take this one back to school."
"What's your rush mate? We're just getting to know each other."
"Yes but Skylar shouldn't be missing school."
"I'm having fun Damon. You can go if you have too." Damon is about to blow so I stop arguing. "Actually I do have to get home before my parents worry that I'm missing."
"Oh do you live near here?"
"Yeah I'm at 2104 Floyd Street."
"Maybe we'll see each other around."
"I hope so. Goodbye Klaus." He kisses my back hand when I go to shake his.

Damon grips me by the arm and hauls me outside. "Damon that hurts!" He doesn't let go but leads me down the street. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Why'd you tell him your address? Are you trying to get killed?"
"Excuse me? I'm a big girl Damon and I can handle myself. Either way he seemed nice and was interesting."
"He's not a good guy," Damon's voice drops. "Please be more careful with who you share your personal information with."
"Like I did with you or Caroline, Stefan, and Tyler?"
"We're not like him and we'd never hurt you."
"How am I supposed to know that? We just met."
"You trust me right?" I sigh at him. "Then trust me when I tell you that you don't want to get mixed up with Klaus Mikaelson."
"Ugh fine. So are you gonna dictate everyone I socialize with?"
"I care about you Sky. I don't want you getting hurt."
"Whatever. Goodbye Mr.Salvatore."
"Wait! Come on please don't be mad at me."
"What do you care if I'm mad at you?"
"I told you last night."
"We should talk about that. What'd you mean about me making you happy?"
"Let's sit," he grabs my hand and sets me on the bench beside him. "I like you Sky. Hell I may even be in love with you, but we can't be together."
"What? Why not?"
"When my brother met Elena they dated before her and me. We kept something from her and it took a long time before she could trust us. I can't do that to you."
"What are you keeping from me?"
"I can't tell you yet."
"What's so bad that you can't tell me?"
"This'll change the way you think the world works and I don't want you mixed up in all that."
"Fine then don't tell me. Until you do though, I don't want you to talk or see me again. That includes all your buddies who won't tell me either. Goodbye Damon." I stand up and walk home. This time he doesn't follow. By the time I reach my house school had already let out. Daniel was just getting home too with some new friends he's met.
