Love at a second look

2.

"Katherine" Elena froze staring blankly at her, Katherine smirked and walked in the house. Katherine gestured Elena to follow her and they sat on the couch. "Why are you here?" Katherine sighed "I need your help" Elena's eyes widened and then she laughed "you want my help?! You left me 4 years ago and now you want my help?! Absolutely not!" Katherine growled "how about you calm down and listen to what I have to say before you start having a tantrum!" Elena sighed and nodded, Katherine smirked and told Elena what she needed from her. "So?" Elena looked shocked "no! I will not pretend to be you for 6 months whilst you go off doing god know what!" Katherine sighed "I think you should reconsider, I would hate if something happened to your friend Stefan" Elena glared at Katherine "are you threatening me?!" Katherine shook her head "oh no no no, I'm just saying that if you don't help me that something might happen to Stefan and you wouldn't want that, right?" Elena sighed, she had to do this for Stefan, right now Katherine was a wild card to Elena and knew she wasn't bluffing. "I won't be able to pull it off, I know nothing of your life" Katherine rolled her eyes at her "which is why I'm going to teach you everything you need to know" Elena sighed and but her lip, if she didn't do this something bad would happen to Stefan and she couldn't have that, but If she did to it many things could go wrong. Shaking her head, she mumbled a small "fine" Katherine smirked and clapped her hands "wonderful!"

For the next 2 days, Elena was learning everything she could about Katherine's life. She had to admit a small part of her was excited but the rest of her knew this was an extremely bad idea. Katherine took her to get her nails and hair done before buying her a few outfits so that Elena would know the stuff she wore. She had said goodbye to everyone and told Stefan that she would try and call him as much as she could. It was an emotional goodbye, they had never been without each other for less than a week and now she was leaving for 6 months! She made up an excuse for her absence and everyone seemed to have bought it.

Right now, Elena was boarding her plane, whilst looking through Katherine's photos, Katherine had given Elena her  phone when Katherine went to a different lounge to board a different plane. Sitting in first class was weird for Elena, she had never been on a plane before let alone be in first class, she wasn't use to everyone making sure she got what she wanted and they all addressed her as Mrs Mikaelson, which she definitely wasn't use to. She decided she would just sleep for the rest of her trip and then she would be wide awake for when she saw  everyone for the first time. She was very uncomfortable in her outfit, it was tight and definitely not Elena's usual style, she was just hoping she would find away to change what she wore whilst she wasn't going anywhere.

She was kinda excited to meet Elijah, Katherine had described him as clingy, annoying, romantic, boring and handsome but for reason Elena felt like Elijah was much more than that. She also couldn't wait to meet Rebekah, apparently she was Katherine's best friend but Katherine said that Elena needed to just make Rebekah feel bad about herself, of course Elena couldn't do that. Katherine told her she needed to make everyone love her including kol Mikaelson, Katherine knew if anyone could get kol to not hate them anymore it was Elena. When she looked out the window, she knew they were close to landing, Elena sighed, they was no going back now.

When Elena stepped off the place she was instantly hit with a breeze, shivering she pulled the leather jacket tighter around herself. "Katherine!" Elena froze at Who was in front of her, Katherine had told her that Marcel their driver was picking her up, but why was Elijah in front of her. She needed to make Elijah believe this was Katherine. "Elijah!" He walked up to her and kissed her. Immediately, Elena kissed back, she felt all these weird feelings inside of her and one them was definitely butterflies. When he pulled back he just looked at Katherine, never had he ever shared a kiss with Katherine that was that passionate, he smiled, maybe Katherine did truly love him back. He heard whisper a small hi and he chuckled. "what are you doing here? I thought you had a meeting?" Elijah sighed whilst taking Katherine's luggage and carrying it to the car. "I decided to cancel it and all my meetings for today, I thought maybe me and you could spend the day together" Elena's heart dropped, she couldn't imagine what Katherine put him through and the hope in his eyes made her just want to melt into him. She smiled and nodded "I would love to" Elijah stared at her, smiled
and then kissed the top of her head. They both got in the car before Elijah asked her what she wanted to do "shopping? Fashion show?Lunch at your favourite restaurant? " Elena shook her head is that really what Katherine and him did. Katherine told her to make sure Elijah didn't want a divorce so she decided that they needed to do more romantic things together. "how about we go get ice cream and then take a walk around the park?" Elijah's eyes sparkled and then asked "are you sure? I mean I thought you hated doing all that stuff" Elena smiled "I'm sure but is it possible we go home first, I really need to change" Elijah smiled and nodded. Whilst he was driving she stared out the window, New Orleans was an amazing place and she couldn't wait to explore. So far things with Elijah was fine and she could only hope that it continued that way.
