Chapter 5

Present day

       I parked my car outside of the Salvatore boarding house. It's crazy to think that it's the exact same as it was over one hundred years ago. I gather all my courage, knocking on the door.
        "Elena!" I hear a male voice say. The door opens, and I am greeted by none other then Damon Salvatore. "Not Elena." He said. I rolled my eyes.
        "Nice to see you as well, Damon." I said, pushing past him.
         "Yes! Please! Come into my home that I so lovingly invited you into." Damon said to me. I turned around and flipped him off.
        "Who's this." A beautiful blonde asked me. I smiled at her. She was rather dashing.
        "No one important." Damon said.
        "Is that really what you have to say about an old friend?" Damon glared at me. "My name is Iris. It's so nice to meet you." I said, shaking her ice cold hand.
      "I'm Caroline." She said. She smiled a very fake smile to me. How welcoming.
       "Now, if I remember, the bathroom is this way." I said, taking a step out of the living room. Personally I just wanted to listen to their conversation.
     "Damon." A voice that could only belong to one person said. Stefan. "Have you found anything on Elena yet?"
       "No." Who's Elena?
       "Damon. This has Katherine written all over it." Stefan said. Wow.. they finally figured out how much of a bitch she is. Congrats boys.
       "Katherine is in a tomb. Trust me brother, I'm the one who shut her in." Damon said.
        "Are we just gonna ignore the fact that a stranger is in your bathroom?" Blondie asked.
        "She's not a stranger. She's an old friend." Damon said. Aw how sweet! "To Stefan. I personally wouldn't mind killing her." I step out of the shadows.
       "Is that any way to talk about an old friend Damie?" I asked him.
        "British. Beautiful. And hates Damon? Must be Iris Mikaelson." Stefan said to me.
         "American. Handsome. Brother of my least favorite person? Must be Stefan Salvatore!" I said, giving him a big hug.
         "It's so nice to see you again." He said to me.
         "Likewise mate." He pulled away from the hug first.
        "Anyway.. what's this news about Katherine?" I asked the boys.
          "Did you listen in on our conversation?" Damon asked.
         "Well Damon if I'm gonna live here and help you will all of your problems... yes." I said.
         "There is no way in hell im ever letting you live here."
          "She's staying Damon." Stefan said. I smiled at Damon, who ended up flipping me off.
          "I know who's not staying." I turn around and look at Caroline.
         "You can't make me leave." She said, huffing as she crossed her arms over her chest. I walk up to her. I grabbed her arms.
           "You're gonna leave." I say, fake compelling her.
          "You can compel me if I'm already a vampire." She said. I laughed.
            "You're gonna leave." I say, actually compelling her.
           "I'm gonna leave." She said. I looked at Damon, who looked rather confused.
         "Well that was weird." Damon said. I smiled at him.
        "Anyway, back to the Katherine situation." Stefan said.
       "She's in the tomb. Period. End of story." Damon said. I looked at Stefan, knowing that wasn't all. He nodded at me. "Ugh. Fine. She did say something to me right before I shut her in. She said Elena is in danger."
         "I'm sorry.. who's Elena?" I asked.
         "My girlfriend." Damon said.
         "My ex girlfriend." Stefan said.
         "Well that's not awkward." I say.
           "You think that's awkward? She's Katherines doppelgänger." Stefan said.
          "That's just lovely." I said.
          "Either way.. we are gonna go talk to her." Stefan says.
         "WHAT??" Damon asked. "Stefan I do not need help from a crazy ass vampire to find my loving girlfriend."
           "Stop being stubborn mate." I said to Damon. "We are going to talk to Katherine."
         "There is no 'we' in this! You're not going." Damon said.
         "Mate. You're gonna need me more then you need Stefan."
         "She's coming."
         "Do I have to let her?"
         "Yes." Stefan and I both said. Damon makes a throwing up sound. I feel awfully flattered.
        "Let's go find elena." I said to Stefan
