Motel, Mystic Falls

Evelina's body shook with the force of her sobs, her back leaning up against her door, knees pressed tightly to her chest. Tears streamed from her eyes, whimpers escaping her mouth with each breath she took. She'd messed up, god, she'd messed up. They knew, everyone knew.

Klaus knew he'd betrayed her. Her brothers knew she'd been lying. Elijah was in a basement with a dagger in his chest, and the rest of her family were in boxes facing the same fate as Elijah. She was alone, for once in her life she was completely and utterly alone.

She closed her eyes, trying to stop her never ending tears. She felt sick.

The familiar ring of her phone made her jump. She didn't want to answer it, she didn't want to hear how they loathed her for all of her misdeeds. So she didn't.

In the blink of an eye, her phone hit the wall, denting it with the force of her throw; her own frustrated scream ringing in her ears. The screen shattered and went black. Good, she didn't want to get any more calls.

…

"Hello, Miss Katherine." Evelina said, curtsying. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Katherine was different, Evelina could tell the minute she saw her. Her aura was different. It was a deep dark red, like the colour of blood. It was a colour she had never seen before. So different from Stefan's light blue or Damon's navy. It was a cruel colour.

Evelina was not one to judge though, after all, she was obviously a demon herself. No one else could see the auras, no one could feel the future. It was wrong, disgusting. A crime against God himself. She killed her own mother, she was truly the cruellest one of all.

Katherine smiled, showing off her gleaming teeth, "It is all my pleasure, Miss Evelina. I am honoured that you have graciously allowed me to stay in your home."

…

Evelina felt the guilt and pain clenching at her gut. She'd allowed so much pain and suffering in the name of love. And now she had done in the name of loyalty and family. Bonnie was probably dead, because she'd been unable to once again betray the man who she didn't even share blood with. She'd been unable to make the choice between her blood and chosen family. And now she'd betrayed everyone, one way or another.

Elijah would know what to do.

…

"'Lijah?" He looks up, smiling at the young girl in the doorway. "Lina, should you not be heading off to sleep now?"

She laughed, "When I was of ten years, 'Lijah, I am fifteen. More than old enough to be staying up till 9 o'clock. I have been here a year now, you should really know that by now." She teased, giggling slightly.

He laughed along with her, "So, what do you need, Lina?"

Her expression turned sombre, "Advice." Elijah nodded, patting the seat next to him. Evelina smiled and sat down, "Nik and I were speaking, about your siblings. I believe he may have been more than a bit drunk, because, well. When I mentioned about your brother's in the coffins, well." She bit her lip, "He decided to go let your youngest brother out."

"What?" Elijah breathed, his eyes turning wide, "He's letting Kol out?!"

She stared up at him with scared eyes, "He claimed he needed some more fun around here. Elijah, is this bad?"

"Kol has a tendency to kill needlessly." Elijah turned his face away, "And to bring out the worst in Klaus." He sighed, "Come, we shall go see if Klaus has done as he said he was going to. I hope he has not been so rash."

…

Evelina needed her family.

It was too bad they were all daggered.

Salvatore Boarding House, Mystic Falls

"Hi, sweetie." Damon smirked at his current toy, Andie, a friends of Jenna's, "Oh, my coffee." He took it off her, pressing a kiss to her lips.

"Good morning." She said, smiling coyly. "Mm," He said, "Good morning."

Stefan rolled his eyes at their display of affection, "Hey." He greeted, "Where's Elena?" Damon sent him a glare, "I don't know, Stefan. It's your girlfriend. Mine's right here."

"Well then," Stefan growled, "Have you managed to get hold of Ev? She ignored me all the times I called her last night."

Damon shook his head, "She's ignored all of mine as well." He sighed, "Do you think she's really working with Klaus? It just doesn't seem like something she'd do."

"Well," Stefan frowned, "We haven't actually known her for 150 years. She's probably changed. We both have." He pointed out, "Elena and Bonnie said they seemed to know each other quite well, but didn't exactly seem chummy. I mean, we did find her with knives all through her body."

"She obviously had something she was ashamed of, else she wouldn't have run so quickly. I'm surprised she could even move with the amount of blood she lost." Damon turned to Andie, "Speaking of blood, how's the shoulder? Got time for a bite? I'm so hungry."

"Oh, it's really messy." She said, as though they were just talking about the weather, "Can you just use a blood bag today?" Making Damon pout. Stefan rolled his eyes once again, pulling his phone out of his pocket and calling Elena. "I'm already late for work."

"No." Damon whined, holding her close to him and kissing her. She returned it with enthusiasm, giggling against his lips.

Stefan sighed as the call went to voicemail, "Hey, it's me." He said, worry growing in his chest, "Where are you? Call me." He looked at Damon and Andie, his lip curling in disgust, "What are you doing?" Stefan asked, "She's not a wind-up toy."

Andie pulled away, looking at him, "It's really none of your business, is it, Stefan?" Damon smirked, widening his eyes, "Yeah. What she said." She laughed, "I have to go to work." Another kiss on his lips, making Stefan turn away once again. "Ugh, bye." Damon said as she walked away, leaving Stefan and Damon in uncomfortable silence.

Stefan looked away from his brother, trying to forget that Damon was using Andie as a distraction from his girlfriend. He cocked his head, noticing the basement door open. He started walking towards it, hearing Damon following him, before rushing down the stairs.

Elijah was gone.

"No, she didn't." Damon hissed.

Motel, Mystic Falls

Her sobs had stopped a while ago. She must have fell asleep at one point, because the darkness outside her window had turned to light. Her head pounded, perhaps from the hours of crying, not that it mattered; she would be hurting either way.

Evelina hadn't moved. She didn't really see the point, no one needed her till the ritual, so she was fine for a bit. And then she'd help them, whether they wanted or not. The only thing she was confused on was which side she'd help.

There was a quick knock at the door, before it suddenly opened, forcing her to move. She stood up.

Klaus grinned, "Well hello, Lina. Looking beautiful as always." He took a step into the room, and she in turn took a step back. "Love, don't be like that, I just want to talk. Would I ever hurt you really?"

She gave him a look of disbelief, "You pinned me to a wall by putting knives through my shoulders and legs!" Evelina yelled, "Are you actually kidding me right now? Of course you'd hurt me!" He looked hurt, "Don't you dare Nik, you have no right to be upset right now."

"Ah," Niklaus said, his hurt look forming into anger, "But I do, Love. If I remember correctly, you're the one who lied and betrayed me."

She shook her head, "I didn't lie Nik, I did come here looking for Elijah. I had no idea my brothers or the doppelganger were here." Evelina took a deep breath, stepping forward, "I was going to tell you, I swear it, but I saw how happy my brothers were, and," She looked up at him with watery eyes and chewed at her lip, "I couldn't be the one to take that away from them."

"But you could take this away from me?!" He yelled and Evelina flinched. Nik grabbed her arm and forced her to look at him, her scared eyes searching face for any hint of forgiveness.

"Do you really need this Nik?" She whispered, her hand coming up to cup his cheek, "You have me, and I'm sure Elijah would forgive you if you un-daggered your siblings." She smiled softly, "We could be a family again, Nik." There was a moment in time where he seemed so tempted, before his eyes hardened.

"It's too late for that Lina!" Klaus stepped back, throwing his hands in the air, "Everything is in place! The doppelganger, the moonstone, it's all ready and you just expect me to give it up?" He shook his head, "No, Lina. It's not happening, love."

Evelina scoffed, "You don't even really want this, do you Klaus? It's all just a matter of pride."

He smirked, "Yes love, it is exactly that." Klaus said, "And now, I'm going to go do what I was actually on my way to do before I decided to pay you a visit." He laughs, "How do you think this guy would greet his girlfriend, hmm? I don't want Jenna to figure out somethings out of the ordinary."

Evelina froze, her blood running cold, and stared at him with wide eyes, "No, Nik, no! You don't need to hurt her, she's just an innocent person, with zero involvement! She doesn't even know the supernatural exist!"

"That, love," Klaus smirked, placing a kiss atop of her head, "Is the point." He backed away, laughing, "After all, may as well cause some more problems for our dear doppelganger." He sent her one last vicious grin, before exiting the room.

"Shit!" Evelina growled, trying to find her phone. She found it a couple of inches away from where she'd thrown it, the entire screen smashed. She continuously clicked the button, but it wouldn't turn on, it was completely broken. "Damn it." She threw it on her bed and stalked out of the apartment.

Lockwood Mansion, Mystic Falls

Elijah and Elena sat in the living room, Elijah dressed in a tux. "So," He began, "I assume that the Martin witches are no longer with us?" Elena shook her, "No, I'm sorry." She looked away, before turning her head back to him, "I-I have some information that you may want to know."

Elijah raised an eyebrow, "Go on then."

"Do you know of anyone," Elena coughed, praying Stefan and Damon would not be mad at her, that they would forgive her for telling Elijah about their sister, "Do you know of anyone called Evelina Salvatore."

"Evelina?!" Elijah said, eyes going wide before he quickly schooled his expression, "She is here then? I presumed so, anywhere Klaus goes she follows, but I truly hoped she had come to her senses. Stopped trying to see the good in him." He smirked, "Salvatore, it has been a long time since anyone has called her by that last name, so long that I didn't even realise her relation to Stefan and Damon. They're her siblings, I presume?" Elena nodded, "Ah, yes, she did used to speak of them."

"She and Klaus were close then?" Elena pressed. Elijah leaned back, "He saved her."

…

Evelina paused, looking for any escape out of the alleyway, but there was none. There was no escape from her fate. Death was around every corner.

Katherine did this, she manipulated him, just like she manipulated everyone. And now she would die. Because her brothers were too busy with Katherine to listen, to see what was happening before their very eyes. But she knew it wasn't their fault, they were as much victims in this as she was.

The heavy footsteps closing in on her, she could hear them all too well. But one set smacking against the cobblestone floor as they made their way towards where she was.

She turned around, accepting her fate, smiling.

"Hello Father." She greeted the man with a shotgun in his grasp and crazed eyes.

"I have to do this." Giuseppe Salvatore said, his voice hoarse, tears shining in his eyes, "Katherine is right. You're a demon. A demon that took over my daughter's body and killed my wife. This is the only way to put them both to rest. The only way!"

Evelina sobbed, nodding. If this was what he needed to feel as though he had brought his wife justice, then so be it. It was not as if she had much to live for anyway. His emotions were out of control, his aura shaking and wavering.

"I have to!" He screamed, "I have to!" He pointed the gun at her, trying to control his shaking hands.

Evelina smiled, "I love you Father." She sobbed. The gun went off, loud, and before she could even blink she was on the floor and holding her bleeding stomach. Footsteps. He walked away. Crying. Was that her father? Or was it herself? She didn't really know.

Was it hours, or minutes until when she once again heard footsteps. They were a lot softer than her father's, calmer. She knew she was dying. Would this person help her?

A man kneeled above her, with curly golden hair and a red smirk, "Well hello, love. Looks as though you've got yourself into quite a predicament."

"V-vampire." Evelina whispered, finally seeing the blood red of his aura, albeit different to Katherine's, but a vampire's aura all the same. It was stronger though, a lot stronger. "What?" He asked, surprised. "Y-your au-aura," She coughed, blood splattering against her palm, "I-it is tha-t of a v-vam-vampire's."

"Well," He murmured, smirking, "It seems as though this dark haired beauty is more than just human." He cocked his head, "Now who did this to you, love?"

"My f-father. He believed me to be a demon." A faint smile rested on her face, "I do not believe he is wrong."

The man's face hardened, but his eyes looked almost understanding. He bit into his wrist, before placing it to her mouth, "Drink up, love," He lifted her head as she drank, "It is time we be getting back home. I can come back to get what I came for later."

…

"Wow." Elena said. Elijah nodded, "So, what about Katerina? She would have been released from my compulsion when I died."

"Klaus took her." Elena said, "We think she may be dead."

Gilbert House, Mystic Falls

She knew she was too late when she arrived. Evelina sighed, watching Klaus trying to pick himself up off the floor. Jenna was gone, and there was no one else in the house, presumably Stefan or Damon had gotten her away from here.

"You never can help getting yourself into trouble, can you Nik?" Evelina said, shaking her head, walking over and giving her oldest friend a hand. He shrugged, "Well, usually it goes a lot better for me, but human bodies aren't cut out for fighting vampires." He gave her a familiar grin. "But I still got what I wanted. Jenna knows. Meaning more trouble for the doppelganger."

"You are such a dick." "I know, it's one of my best qualities."

They stood in silence. "I need to go. You know, I have siblings to help." She muttered, "After all, you are the one who's planning on killing the love of their lives."

"Ah, yes, Petrova doppelgangers. Bewitching brothers since the 900 AD."

She laughed, "Goodbye Nik."

Salvatore Boarding House, Mystic Falls

Evelina slammed open the door to the library, gasping at the scene before her. Stefan and Damon were just stepping away from each other, they're faces flushed. They had just been fighting of course. Probably over Elena.

Who had her back turned to Evelina, along with a familiar man in a tux. "'Lijah." She breathed, and his head snapped around to look at her. "Lina." He said, turning around completely. She beamed, running up to him and wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. Her grin widened when he wrapped his around her waist.

"What the hell?!" Damon growled, going to break them apart, before Stefan grabbed his arm.

Elijah pulled back and gripped her arms, "Are you working with Niklaus?" She shook her head, "I swear Elijah, I'm not. Klaus and I, well, let's just say he is not happy with me."

"Forgive me if I struggle to believe you, Lina," He pushed her away, giving her a disappointed look, "After all, you have always proven to be loyal to him."

"As I have always been loyal to you." She countered and pointed a finger at him, "So don't you dare 'Lijah." He frowned, "That doesn't mean you don't still feel that loyalty to him. You stuck with him even after he daggered Rebekah and Ko-" Suddenly he found himself thrown half way across the room. "Don't you dare mention him!" Evelina growled.

"What the fuck is going on? How do you two know each other?!" Damon yelled, glaring at them. Evelina sighed, "It's a long story Damon." He pointed his glare at her, "Tell it then."

And that is a story for next time!
