Cherry Blossoms

C10

" Here ,these should fit you ,Cherry", the girl,Elena Gilbert , her lookalike ,said handing her a pair of pajama shorts and a t-shirt with a bunny on the front .

" Thanks ", she thanked the girl , while trying to ignore the stares from two other girls that had come over to see Elena .

One of them was a very hyper blond and the other a mocha skinned brunette who had beautiful light brown eyes .

" You're welcome ", Elena said giving her a small friendly smile .

Elena ,her boyfriend Stefan and his brother Damon had brought her to Elena's house for the night until the morning when they would probably help her to go home to her family.

" You can get dressed in there ,if you want . You can even take a bath . I'm sure you want one seeing as we're both stinky and sticky after our ordeal ", Elena said pointing to the open door of her room's ensuite bathroom .

Cherry doesn't take offence to her words of being stinky because those words were true .

" Sorry ,I can't lend you some underwear . Mine will fall of from your butt seeing that you're so tiny".

" Uh... It's okay . I'll just wash out mine and not wear any tonight ", Cherry said as she made her way to the bathroom .

In there she shut the door behind her,then took a deep breath before walking towards the bath to fill it up .

It was half an hour later when she exited to find the other girls gone and Elena sitting at her window staring at the darkness outside .

" It's strange how life could seem so normal until something like today crushes that notion", she said without looking at Cherry .

Cherry said nothing . She just made her way over to the window seat to sit down beside her lookalike .

" Stefan called to ask if you're still okay ", Elena continued , changing the subject ," him and Damon are really worried about you . Until today we weren't aware that there was another Döppelganger around . We thought I was the only human girl  that looked like Katherine . Well ,in body weight and height I do more than you . But still . It's so strange . Anyway it's best if we get some sleep and tomorrow we'll figure out things . Come on , you can sleep beside me . My bed is big enough for us both ,so, it won't be a problem ".

Elena stood up and held her hand out to Cherry . Cherry took it readily because she had nothing else to say or do .

She couldn't sleep that night, though, worried about her Dad and all her friends in La Push who was probably out of their minds with worry.

She didn't have her phone . Her kidnappers had probably taken it and thrown it away .
That means that she'd have to rely on other people to help her contact her Dad  .

Will they help her ?. Or will they keep her here because she knew their secret .

They only know her name because she'd given it to them . Other than that they know nothing about her . Not even where she come from .

Should she trust them and tell them the truth about herself?. Or should she act like she knew about Vampires and all that shit ?.

She sighed tiredly not sure what to do. One thing was for sure , though . She couldn't tell her Dad the whole truth .

She needed to come up with a convincing half truth before she go home . Not even Jacob can know everything .

It's way past three in the morning when she finally fell asleep ,only to be shaken awake by Elena who informed her that they were going to go see Damon and Stefan at their house .
