Silver Linings: Awakening {A TVD Fanfic trilogy}

14

I laid awake in bed all night, not able to fall asleep knowing Elena was out there stuck somewhere. I got up the next morning when I heard Matt and Tyler come inside. I got dressed and headed downstairs.

"She was at my house... How did none of us figure it out?" Tyler asked as I walked in and sat on the couch.

"Because it's Katherine and she's smart, and conniving, and sneaky... and we're the worst friends ever." Caroline replied disappointed.

"To be clear I noticed." I looked at her.

"And it's good you did because otherwise we wouldn't have." Caroline thanked me.

"This makes no sense. She saved my life. She gave me CPR when Enzo tried to kill me. Katherine would never do that." I heard Jeremy through the phone.

"That's what made her so believable. She played Elena to a tee. If she let you die, her cover was blown." Bonnie replied. She was with Jeremy.

"I was sleeping three feet away from her! She picked out my Bitter Ball dress. And I let her use my toothpaste!" Caroline spoke upset.

"Well, did she lure you into a hotel room to make out with you?" Stefan asked and I looked at him.

"I think Stefan wins." I sighed lightly.

"She's the reason I found out about you and Klaus." Tyler added with a sigh.

"Okay I'd say everyone wins." I added scrunching my face lightly. She really had been making things bad lately.

"So, how do we kill the bitch?" Tyler asked now a bit angry.

"Well, passengers can be expelled from the host. We saw it happen with Matt. Gregor died, and Matt lived. All we have to do is stab her with the Traveller knife." Stefan explained.

"I still have the knife Nadia gave me." Matt spoke up as he looked at her.

"Perfect! Go get it." Stefan nodded to Matt.

"Wait, you guys! This is Katherine we're talking about. She's going to see a sneak attack from a mile away. We've got to get her to come to us. Get her guard down, corner her."  Caroline explained.

"Fat chance you won't be seeing her today. I'm pretty sure I bit Nadia." Tyler replied almost unsure.

"What do you mean, you bit her?" Matt asked surprised.

"I mean, she was attacking Caroline, and I might've nipped her a little." Tyler replied.

"Two birds with one stone I guess." I replied looking at Tyler.

"Why are you just mentioning this now?" Matt asked almost upset with Tyler.

"Hey guys! Focus. Tyler's right. Katherine's not going to leave Nadia's side, unless not leaving compromises her identity." Caroline explained as she thought.

"Which means...?" Matt asked confused.

"We've got to invite her to something that Elena can't say no to." Caroline explained as we all looked to her.

"We should try you and Bonnie first." I suggested looking to Caroline.

"Bonnie's birthday is coming up. I'll invite her to a surprise party." Caroline nodded. "I have to go Bon. I have planning and inviting to do." Caroline explained to her.

Bonnie and Caroline both called her and she gave them both reasonable excuses. I texted her saying we needed to have some sisterly bonding time soon and she told me that she would as soon as she could find free time. She continued to avoid me.
