Hey everyone! This is my first Fan Fiction and I'm so thrilled to be writing amongst some of you! Go easy on me and please review it! Thank you!

Elena put away her diary in her bag wondering when she would be able to visit her mother and father again. "Well, mom and dad. I'll try and visit again tomorrow."

She got up and left the cemetery when the sun was starting to set. Elena couldn't even remember the last time she saw the sunset.

She opened her car door and threw her book bag on the passenger's seat. As she got in the car she knew what was next, what was coming.

She had to go see Katherine. She had all the answers, the only person that would give it to her straight up. Katherine.

As Elena descended into the tomb carrying an extremely heavy leather tote bag full of bribes.

"Katherine?" Elena said, but nothing. "Come on Katherine, I know you're not dead, yet." She said sadistically, loving this side of herself.

"Hello Elena." Katherine said as she appeared out of the shadows of the tomb. Looking Elena up and down. "What brings you here? Salvatore let you out early?" "Oh wait, let me guess. They don't know you're here!"

Elena hadn't been in the tomb for more than five minutes and she was already irritated. Who did Katherine think she was? Elena was in control here, and she was going to make damn sure everyone knew that.

"I brought you some things." Elena went on as she pulled out a bottle of blood. "Oh, and what's this? Judging by the way you look, I think you might need some. So start talking."

"Elena, trust me, you don't want to know."

"Trust you? Trust YOU? That must be some kind of joke." Is she serious? She couldn't even begin to understand how far out I would have to be to trust her.

"Fine, I retract that statement. So tell me, what brings you down here? With me."

"I want to know more about our history, the Petrova bloodline." Elena said starting to instantly feel relieved. Her plan was working so far, and she didn't need Stefan or Damon.

"Well that's one hell of a story, Elena. Where should I start? Ahh, yes. The Original." Katherine said.

This was shocking news to Elena. After months of research and digging the brothers hadn't found anything close to her sudden discovery. As Elena was pouring a cup of blood for Katherine she was listening contently, wondering why she hadn't thought of this before.

"So the original Pretova was an original. She was Klaus's lover, also a traitor. It was said that she was the oldest. Older than Klaus, older than all of them. She was the leader of the original clutch of vampires. When she and Klaus fell in love, a witch predicted a war between the council. The reason was... She fell in love with a wolf, a werewolf. This tore Klaus apart. He went on a killing spree and swore he'd find her and make her pay. This is when he had the sun and moon curse created."

"Ok hold on a second... " Said Elena. "I thought the curse was bound with the blood of a doppleganger."

"Wrong again, Gilbert. The curse was bound with Charlotte Petrova's blood" Katherine started at her as she spoke. "It must be broken with the blood of the doppleganger, a human doppleganger."

Katherine continued speaking as Elena poured her another cup of blood.

"Klaus had her killed for her acts of adultery. Little did he know, she was best friends with his witch. A witch who was loyal to Charlotte, forever. And to prove it, she created us."

"What? No, that's a lie." Elena interjected. "I wasn't created, I was born. Like every other human on this planet."

"So anyway, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. Klaus had her sacrificed, and the only way to punish the wolves was to punish the vampires, too. So he did. And she was murdered."

"I don't get it, this doesn't make sense."

"Well if you'd let me finish I could get to the point. Charlotte's witch removed her soul from her body before Klaus killed her. That's why we were created. We are basically catalysts for her soul."

"So, we're her?"

"Yup looks like it."

"This is crazy, I don't believe it. It's not true, it can't be."

"I can prove it to you, if you are daring enough." Katherine added with a wicked smile.

"How?"

"Come over here and find out."

"Umm, no?"

"Suit yourself. Send my love to Stefan." As she turned on her heal and fell back into the darkness.

"Wait!" I said stupidly running into the tomb after her. A voice in the back of my head was screaming at me to stop, but I couldn't, I was so close.

Before I knew it Katherine had me pinned against the cold walls of the tomb and I could feel the stones digging into my back. I didn't mind the pain, it reminded me I was still alive. Before I could say anything she ripped out her fangs and dug into me. It felt like I was being burned alive.

To my surprise she pulled away and said. "What was that?" "Is there someone here, did you feel that?" Before she got those last words out I could feel it. Like someone was rushing through my body, filling me up, making me whole.

To my amazement my next move was to bring her head closer for a kiss. It was the most powerful intense thing I've ever felt. Like 2000 volts of electricity were running through my body.

Katherine pulled away gasping for air, oddly enough. She was a vampire, vampires didn't breath. Or did they?

"Elena did you feel that? That's her."

I couldn't lie myself out of this one, I knew I felt it. What did it mean?

"I I... I felt something, I don't know what it was. Are you going to kill me?"

"That's an intriguing thought, but no."

Before Elena could try bringing Stefan back into her mind and how he'd be wondering where she was, she was pulled into another heated kiss. This one was more passionate, knowing what to expect, they both moved to a rhythm that was nonexistent yet seemingly familiar.

"I should go," I said surprising myself, pulling away. Trying to get away from the grasp Katherine had on me. But in all honestly, that's not what was keeping me there. It was my mind trying to figure out what I should do next. Finally I gave in and pressed my lips to hers again. Yearning for that familiarity that made me feel at home. Something about this made her feel safe, close, and most of all wanted. Not for who I looked like or how nice I was. But me and me alone.

This time Elena pulled away and said. "I really should go. Stefan will be wondering where I am, we don't want them to send a search party."

Katherine gently put her hand up to my cheek and started stroking it with her thumb. "Elena, you need to go. I'm getting hungry, and you need to leave. NOW."

With that Elena sped out of there as soon as possible. She wasted no time grabbing her bag and running out of the tomb. Then she got to the top of the stair case she took a moment to catch her breath. That's when she started sobbing. What was happening to her? Katherine was the enemy, she tried to destroy Elena. But these feelings, that feeling. It was amazing. She's never felt that with anyone else before.

As she stood up Damon was in front of her. "What are you doing here? Are you insane? We've been looking for you all day, Elena."

"I just had some thinking to do." As she started making her way back down the steps Damon grabbed her arm and spun her around.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm getting away from you, now let me go, Damon."

"Come on, we're leaving." Elena scrunched up her face at that comment, was she a child to him? Did he think he had that much power over her?

"Damon let go of me."

"Get your ass in the car." Fine she thought. He wanted to play dirty? She'd play dirty.

"Fine" She said. And she walked over to the car. If Damon thinks he has any power over me, he's in for a surprise. "Oops, I forgot something in the tomb."

"Elena, you're not going down there."

"Really? Watch me." As she took off she wasn't thinking clearly. This wasn't Matt or Jeremy. This was Damon Salvatore and he was way faster than she could ever imagine. Elena made it all the way down the stairs until he pinned her against the wall.

"Don't you dare."

"Damon you have no say over what I do. Let me go!" She screamed and cried. Why was Damon being so cruel? She just needed more. She needed to feel again. Whatever it was it was like a drug and she couldn't stay away from Katherine any longer. She needed her, all of her. "AHHHHHHHH! LET. ME. GO. YOU. ASSHOLE."

"Are you done?"

Elena sighed and let out a whimper. "Yes"

"So When we get you home, It's family night." "I was thinking..." Damon trailed off.` Elena stabbed Damon with a vervain dart. What was she doing? This wasn't her, but she didn't care. she ran into the tomb as fast as possible ready to take on whatever tried to stop her.

Thank god she carried a dart in case things got out of hand with Katherine.

"Katherine?" Elena said in a quiet voice. "Katherine, are you there?" She was getting more and more annoyed by the second. "KATHERINE?" She finally decided it was time to scream. Hopefully Damon would be out a little longer.

Elena felt a gust of wind blow past her and send shivers down her spine. Once again, she was pinned to the tomb walls.

"What are you doing here? I thought you left with the white knight." Katherine said with a smirk.

Elena didn't feel like banter or sparing with her. So she cut to the chase. She pressed her lips firmly against Katherine's. Searching for a way into her mouth, almost in a panic. She left out a satisfying moan, glad that she could feel the power that she was obtaining by just a simple kiss with Katherine.

"Elena what do you think you're doing?" Katherine said with a look of complete shock, horror, and lust.

Elena grabbed Katherine and pinned her to the wall. She was overcome with this rush or strength and she had no idea where it came from. When their lips parted she took a step away from Katherine and half of her body was on the outside of the tomb.

"Elena look out!" Katherine said but it was too late. Damon had both her arms in a death grip. For a minute, Elena thought he might kill her. "Damon stop! Please! Why are you doing this?"

"So as I was saying." Damon let out an exasperated sigh. "It's family night, and I'm cooking." As he proceed to dragging her by both her arms out of the tomb.

"Elena, don't worry, I'll see you again." Elena had no idea what that meant, but she hoped it was true.
