Sorry for the late update! Writer's block-you know how it goes.
Hope You Enjoy!
"W-we can't pull this off—they know—it's over!"
"No it's not—this is far from over dammit. I will not lose you—I'll die fighting for this life I don't care what it takes."
"What's the point of fighting only to die in the end?" I demanded
"For love," Katherine replied looking me in the face.
We took refuge in the campus library; it was full of working students, studying alone or in groups. Between bookshelves in the back of the library we sat.
I shoved my bangs back from my face my hands in my hair, tears running down my cheek and my knees up to my chest.
"I want my Mommy." I said, "I want Mommy,"
"I'll get you to her baby; we just need to wait this out for a little while, alright?"
I sniffed and nodded
"Come here." Katherine ordered of me, I got on my knees and crawled across the aisle to her. She took me into her arms, my head laid on her chest, my legs draped over hers; I felt safe with her.
"This is nothing compared to the other shit that I have been through and I promise that we will get through it."
"I know." I replied "but the idea of losing you before I've really known you scares me."
"Listen to me Anelie: you have your Mother and she loves you deeply and already I have found myself falling in love with you too. But who wouldn't? The idea of losing you scares me just as much as it scares you—I've never felt so wanted by anyone and I vow that I'll fight for you, for my daughter, and for you my beautiful granddaughter—and this life."
I entwined our hands and buried my face into her chest, and Katherine planted a kiss on my head.
Good Afternoon! I'm sorry that I missed you call—if this is Mommy I'm probably studying or getting myself into trouble—but if it's anyone else who knows what I'm doing so please leave a message and I'll call you back as soon as a I can! Bye-Bye!
For the fourth time Nadia had listened to the voicemail of your daughter. It's brought a smile to her but it also worried her too. Something had to be wrong, Anelie rarely missed her calls and if she did, not five seconds later the mother's phone would be singing a ringtone set just for her girl.
She set her phone face down on the bar and took up her glass sipping at her drink. Nadia spun the ice around with the two black straws making a clinking sound. it had only been a couple of days since Anelie left her to go to Whitmore, but she missed her already and the fact that she wasn't answering only made her miss her daughter more.
She peered down the bar at a dark haired boy who went by the name Tyler taking a seat on a bar stool, Matt, the blue-eyed bartender greeted him.
"I thought you said that you weren't drinking today."
"No" replied the boy "I'm not drinking alone today." He corrected. Matt chuckled and poured him a drink.
She turned away and looked back at the glass in front of her.
Tyler glanced down the bar at the brunette sitting alone.
"She's new," Tyler observed looking at Matt
"Whatever you're thinking unthink it; that's Katherine's daughter—the physco that doesn't fall too far from the tree."
"I can hear you, you know?" she shot at them
"You buried me in a safe and left me to die." He shot back
"I'm sorry, but I was trying to save my mother's life—and I failed. So if you don't mind," she trailed off softly, "I'd like to sit here alone and grieve in peace."
"Want a shot?" Tyler invited
"What?!" Matt demanded
"You heard her…she's sorry…her mom's dead. Let's do shots." He suggested at his friend.
Nadia's eyes shot to the entrance when a figure burst through the doors.
She stood and watched as her daughter raced up to her.
"Anelie?"
"Mommy," Anelie cried running into her mother's arms.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"You have a daughter too?" Matt demanded as Tyler looked confused at the two girls.
"Of course I do,"
Anelie glanced at Matt before tugging at her Mother's hand. "We have to go; she's waiting in the back for us."
"Who?" Tyler asked
"That's none of your concern, hybrid." Anelie snapped
"Now come on!" Anelie demanded and they left through the back.
A black Benz with tinted windows was waiting. Nadia got into the front while Anelie went to the back. As soon as both doors were closed, the car drove off just as Matt and Tyler came out through the back door; just in time to see the car disappear around the corner.
"What the hell is going on?" Nadia wondered looking at her mother in the driver's seat.
"Caroline and Bonnie found out about us and Anelie's circle of trader travelers don't know how to keep their mouths shut." Katherine announced
"So where are we going?"
"The hotel to get our things and then anywhere far away from Elena's friends," Katherine looked over at Nadia and then back at the road. "We need a witch to perform a cloaking spell over us."
"I'm your witch—I can do anything; all I need is my grimoire."
"What can't you do?" Nadia wondered
"Uhm…cook?"
"Well then let's hope Caroline doesn't come after you." Katherine remarked with a smirk
The three girls rushed into the room and locked the door behind them and quickly closed the curtains of both windows that let the outside look in.
Anelie went onto the bed and curled up. She looked to the bed across from where she was lying at her mom that opened up their suitcases and began packing stuff away.
Katherine came out from the bathroom holding two bags of bathroom products; she handed them to Nadia and went back in to retrieve the rest.
"I'm sorry Mom," Anelie said, "This is all my fault—if I had just stayed in Prague we would not be in this situation and Katherine's identity would not have been revealed."
"Don't apologize," her mother demanded, "you are my daughter; had I known about the people chasing you I would have demanded that you come to me anyway."
Anelie bowed her head and brought her knees up to her chest, "I screwed everything up," she trailed off and let the cries overtake her.
Nadia left to Anelie's side and held her daughter close. "You didn't screw anything up Anelie, don't think that. Not ever."
After clearing all of their belongings out of the bathroom Katherine came out again and gazed at the two.
"We need to get out of here." She sighed
Nadia peered at Katherine packing up the rest of their bags.
She took a seat on the other side of Anelie and began rubbing her back in circles.
After several minutes of calming Anelie down, they were on the road.
"What the hell do you mean Katherine freaking-Pierce is still alive?" Damon demanded into the phone
"Okay will you please stop yelling at me? You know what I mean, I just said it. Katherine's spirit is in Elena's body."
"Nadia must have found a witch to do the passenger spell." Stefan said observantly
Damon rolled his eyes "Thank you captain obvious."
The younger Salvatore ignored his brother's comment. "Come on, we have to find her. She and Anelie ran off and we tried to track them but they got away too quickly." Caroline said pressing her foot on the gas and her eyes on the road. Bonnie sat beside in the passenger's seat.
"I can't believe that none of us noticed—we didn't notice that Elena isn't Elena." Bonnie said
Caroline shook her head softly, "We are the worst friends ever."
"No…you guys aren't bad friends; Katherine is just good a fooling us. But don't worry, we will get Elena back—no matter what is takes." Damon said
Caroline sighed
A small smile crept across Bonnie's features "Be careful Damon, it is starting to sound like you actually care about how we feel."
"Don't get the wrong idea Bon-Bon." Damon replied with a smirked and pressed down on the red phone.
