There have been a lot of strange things happening lately here in Rosewood Falls, and some residents have slowly come to realize that maybe they aren't so unrelated. The slow arrivals of newcomers to town over the last few months have raised a few ey...

Flashback: Halloween Dance
"Katherine!" Elena yelled, her voice echoed throughout the massive school hallway. With a hypnotized Ezra in tow, Elena was determined to get to the bottom of her evil vampire doppelgänger's sudden appearance in Rosewood Falls once and for all.
As Katherine turned her head to face Elena, she smiled coyly at her inferior twin, "Well hello, Elena. Enjoying your little dance so far?" Katherine sped towards Elena and Ezra at vampire speed until she was face to face with her adversaries. "Oh, wait. Poor Ezra, so cute, so handsome." Katherine sneered as she lifted her hand to gently caress Ezra's cheek.
Without thinking, Elena slapped Katherine's hand away from Ezra's face, "Don't you dare come near him! I know you're here because of me so leave him out of any plans that you or Klaus are planning right now so--"
Rolling her eyes, Katherine cut Elena off and slammed her against a nearby cluster of lockers, "Oh Elena, when will you realize that not everything is about you?" she spoke through gritted teeth.
"Then what do you want," Elena muttered as she attempted to gasp for breath, "I'll do anything Katherine, just let Ezra go."
Glancing back towards an unconscious Ezra, Katherine's face began to soften as she looked deeper and deeper into his gorgeous brown eyes. She felt the same, electric twinge in her ice-cold heart that she had felt when she first met Ezra, and for some reason, she didn't want to let that feeling go.
Shaking her head, she looked back at a struggling Elena, "Okay, deal. But, you have to do me a little favor first."
Elena stared at Katherine with a puzzled look, she hadn't expected Katherine to give in to her proposition so quickly, "What do you want then?"
"You," Katherine replied through her usual hushed, sinister tone and smile. Gleefully watching a defenseless Elena squirm underneath her vice grip, Katherine had a pleasing thought pop into her head: Maybe she was finally going to live out her "happy ending" after all.

Present Day:
"So I'll meet you at 5 at your place then?" Elena whispered, as she stood face-to-face with Ezra in one of the corners of the Rear Window Cafe, away from any prying student or teacher ears. After a few months of dating, they had gotten a routine down to scheduling their secret dates.
"Yeah I should be out of my meeting by then," Ezra said as he began to reach for Elena's hand whilst cautiously looking over each one of their shoulders.
Elena smiled at Ezra's subtle, adorable action and gently grabbed his hand, "Ezra, it's fine. No one's watching us." Elena began to pull herself closer to Ezra and without thinking, Ezra seemed to oblige to Elena's movements despite this very public location.
Shaking his head, Ezra smiled and whispered in Elena's ear, "I'll see you later tonight."
Elena smiled flirtatiously back at Ezra, turned her head and kissed his cheek lightly, "Can't wait."
Squeezing her hand slightly, Ezra blushed and turned around, carrying his take-away coffee as he exited the coffee shop.
Watching him leave, Katherine Pierce waited until Ezra was completely out of sight before her "Elena-esque" smile dropped from her face, "Ugh, I don't know how much longer I can keep this innocent act up," she muttered to herself. However, as she remembered Ezra's sweet, innocent expression, she couldn't help but resist that 'heart skipping' feeling that she only had once felt around Stefan and Damon.
Taking her shiny, gold compact mirror out of her purse, Katherine checked her makeup and began to primp her hair, "Goodbye Elena, Ezra's all mine. For now...," she whispered: Elena Gilbert was history.

Present Day:
Waking up from her groggy state, Elena sat in a modern-looking apartment, her hands tied behind her back with duct-tape covering her mouth. Through blurred vision, she could see two dainty, stiletto heels standing in front of her which, undoubtedly, belonged to Katherine Pierce.
Kneeling down to looked at her captured prey, Katherine cocked her head slightly to examine Elena's captive face, "Have a good day, dear?" she whispered as she violently ripped the tape from her mouth.
"Please, just tell me what you want Katherine," Elena spoke through gritted teeth.
Katherine continued to smile at Elena, "Sweet, dumb Elena." she cooed, "What does Ezra even see in you?"
As she stood up and walked towards her apartment kitchen to pour herself a glass of wine, Elena lay completely defeated and defenseless on the floor.
"At least I have someone who loves me," Elena muttered, rolling her eyes at Katherine's passing "Ezra" remark.
Suddenly, hearing this offensive statement, Katherine sprinted towards Elena and clutched her throat, "Okay, miss Elena. You want to know what's going on here? Why I'm in Rosewood Falls?"
Holding Elena in mid-air, without any hesitation, Katherine smiled at Elena's pain, "I'm here to steal your man. Clear enough for you? And maybe other things that I'm not ready to tell you or any of your little friends yet. So that's why you need to stay out of my way."
Dropping Elena on the floor, her head and shoulders slammed against Katherine's apartment's shiny hardwood floors. At this point, Elena was actually far too weak to fight back and attempt to find a way to free herself from her present imprisonment anymore.
Gliding to her kitchen counter, Katherine gulped down the glass of red wine that she had just poured herself, grabbed her purse off the kitchen counter and opened her front door, "Well gotta go. I have a date." She smiled, giving one last look at the trapped Elena. She couldn't help but relish in the glorious feeling that she had finally won everything in Elena's life that she had occasionally admired, and wished she had, if she were still a human being.
