"Wonderful and what?" Trevor asked as movement caught my eye and I looked to see Elena getting up and creeping up the stairs to their location, presumably to listen more clearly.
"Are you stupid?" I mouthed at her back as she disappeared out of my view. I held up my hands in disbelief as I leaned further into the couch and continued to listen.
"So that's it Trevor. He either got it or he didn't. We just have to wait."
"Look, it's not too late. We can leave it here. We don't have to go through with this."
"I'm sick of running!" The woman argued.
"Yeah? Well, running keeps us from dying." Trevor replied.
"Elijah's old school. If he accepts our deal, we're free." The woman said and my eyes darted upwards when a squeaky floorboard sounded, "You! There's nothing around here for miles. If you think you're getting out of this house, you're tragically wrong. Understand?"
Elena had definitely been busted, which was no surprise to me. She was an awful eavesdropper.
"Who's Elijah?" My sister asked.
"He's your worst nightmare."
She was wrong. I could think of someone much worse than Elijah.
***
When it had become clear that my sister wasn't dead and had somewhat managed to befriend the kidnapper, I chanced joining them. If any harm was going to befall us by the hand of this woman, it would've happened already. Plus I was a well behaved captive so if something went wrong, I had time to escape whilst they murdered Elena first.
"Why am I here?" My sister asked as I entered the room.
"You keep asking me these questions like I'm gonna answer them." The woman replied.
"Why won't you?"
"That's another one."
"You got me, okay? It's not like I can go anywhere. The least you can do is tell me what you want with me." Elena bargained and I could see that she was slowly chipping away at the woman. I was oddly proud.
"I personally want nothing; I'm just a delivery service." She answered.
"Delivery to who? Elijah?"
"Two points to the eavesdropper."
"Who is he? Is he a vampire?" Elena asked.
"He's one of the vampires, the originals." She replied.
"What do you mean the originals?" Elena asked and I forcefully kept my mouth shut.
"Again with the questions. Haven't the Salvatores been teaching you your vampire history?"
"So you know Stefan and Damon?"
"I know of them. A hundred years back, a friend of mine tried to set me up with Stefan. She said he was one of the good ones. I'm more of a sucker for the bad boys though but I digress." The vampire explained.
"Who are the originals?"
"Trevor and I have been running for 500 years. We're tired, we want it over. We're using you both to negotiate ourselves out of an old mess."
"But why us?"
"Because you're Petrova Doppelgängers. One of you is the key to breaking the curse." I swallowed and looked at the floor as she spoke.
"The curse? The sun and the moon curse?"
"Oh, you do know your history." The woman said in surprise.
"What do you mean one of us is the key? The moonstone is what breaks the curse."
"No, the moonstone is what binds the curse. The sacrifice is what breaks it." She corrected her.
"The sacrifice?" Elena gulped.
"The blood of a doppelgänger. You're both doppelgängers. Which means, in order to break the curse one of you has to die." She explained before looking at me, "You're very quiet."
"I'm just being a good captive." I shrugged before leaving the room and making my way back downstairs. Guilt flooding through me as I sat back down on the couch and placed my head in my hands.
I wasn't the one that would die; Elena was.
