CHAPTER NINE

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

ALONG WITH THE TWO SALVATORE BROTHERS, Cassandra quietly made her way into the abandoned house. They were careful not to make any noise as Cassandra could clearly hear Elijah's voice in one of the rooms. She had let out a huge breath she didn't even know she was holding in when she heard his voice instead of the man she never wanted to see again.

Cassandra looks to Damon who points to hide behind the stairs. She nods her head, making her way over as she hears Elijah's voice talk again. She didn't know how many people were in the house but she could instantly tell Elena was in the same room as Elijah since her heartbeat was going a lot faster than normal. "What about the moonstone?" Elena asks as Elijah was about to drag her away. It makes the original stop in his steps as he turns his attention back to her.

"What do you know of the moonstone?" He questions with a squint of his eyes, wanting to know how the doppelganger even heard of the moonstone.

"I know that you need it, and I know where it is." Elena answers in a somewhat cocky tone which almost makes Cassandra want to roll her eyes. Oh wait, she did. Cassandra knew Elijah didn't have much patience when he was being talked down to so it was only a matter of seconds before Elena gave up the information.

"Tell me where it is." Elijah states, trying to compel the girl but since she was wearing vervain, the compulsion didn't work.

"It doesn't work that way." She replies with a shake of her head causing Elijah to be shocked for a split second. He didnt think she was one to talk back but apparently he was wrong.

"Are you negotiating with me?" He asks in a slightly amused tone, raising an eyebrow at the young girl who only nods her head. She was pretty confident for a petty human who could die in a split second. Elijah glances over to the other vampire in the room who only shakes her head.

"It's the first I've heard of it." Rose admits as she gulps, not wanting to get on Elijah's bad side once again because of a Petrova doppelganger. Elijah squints his eyes a little but turns his attention back to Elena who tries to avoid his eyes. He then notices something she was wearing, his jaw clenching when he realizes what it was.

"What is this vervain doing around your neck." Elijah hisses as he grabs her necklace, ripping it off and throwing it somewhere in the room. He grabs her chin, forcing the girl to look at him. "Tell me where the moonstone is." He compels in a stern tone as he looks directly into her eyes. Elena was defeated as she started to talk even though she didn't want to.

"It's in the tomb underneath the church ruins." Elena answers as she stares into the man's eyes. Elijah furrows his eyebrows for a second but continues to ask the doppelganger questions.
