The Deception

~Chapter Twenty~

(Ember pov)

I stared at myself in the mirror with self hatred. I swept a stray piece of my hair behind my ear. Tears were still in my eyes but I didn't let them fall down my face. This was all my fault my only sibling died and now I really am alone. Ace has not let me leave his cabin unless he is by my side. Its is only the next day, and i'm pretty sure the only reason he isn't letting me leave is because I have his blood in my system.

The outside looked beautiful, it seemed to be the only thing that wasn't so messed up right now. I wonder if ace would let me go outside just to get some fresh air.

"Ace will you take me outside, I really just need some air?" I begged

"Yea no problem but get a coat it's cold outside." Ace urged with a slight look of care in his eyes

"Um my clothes aren't here." I stated not really knowing what to do

"Okay well here take mine." Ace encouraged sweetly

"Thank you very much Ace." I thanked him with a smile

Ace unlocked the front door and took my hand and walked me out. Right when I walked out of the house the wind blew in my face and I actually felt as if I breathed air for the first time in a few days. I closed my eyes and just took it all in. The feeling I was having right now felt amazing. Then everything came crashing down once I remembered I killed my sister.

I felt Ace wrap his arms around me and he just held me.

"Listen I know what you are feeling and i want you to know this is not your fault. I went through all my siblings deaths thinking it was my fault, it took me about 100 years to get over the fact it wasn't my fault. Just like this isn't your fault, it's all Hayden's fault. If you really want to take this out on someone take this out on his family." Ace rasped

I finally realized everything, this really wasn't my fault. This was Haydens fault and I needed to kill him. I looked up at Ace's eyes and felt the feeling of love when I looked in his eyes. He leaned in and I slightly leaned in and our lips were about to touch until I heard a gunshot.

Sp my wedding is in three weeks and I am really stressed out because all these problems going around me. Klaus doesn't even let me leave the compound anymore unless he is with me. I mean i'm a vampire and I think I can take care of myself. I don't even really think klaus wants to get married, I think he is just doing it so I can atleast have one dream true. I realized after becoming a vampire that you can't do much. You will most likely be alone forever but i got klaus and that is a gift.

The sad thing is I will never be able to have the children I have always wanted. I won't ever see my imaginary kids have children. My children would have probably be killed even if i was human. I was the doppelganger and that is one of the worst thing that has ever happened in my life.

Klaus won't even let me help all the people who can use an extra hand.

(Emilia pov)

I have to face it that I still love Elijah. I'm so over this to be honest I just need to talk to Hannah. She must have some type of feeling for Elijah by now. If she does she is probably in almost the same amount of pain as me. I walked myself down the hallway and knocked on Hannah's door. In about 30 seconds the door opened and there stood hannah.

"What do you need Emilia?" Hannah questioned

"I would like to talk about Elijah." I muttered, Hannah opened the door for me to walk into the room

I cut straight to the point and queried her "Do you have feeling for Elijah?"

"Yes of course I do, and yes Emilia I know you love him to." Hannah replied honestly

"We can't both have him, I think he needs to decide for himself." I stated

"Let's go and ask him right now then!" Hannah answered then grabbed my hand and walk me out to elijah's room

Elijah was walking putting stuff away in his room, when he heard us at his open door he looked up with a shocked expression.

"Do you girls need something?" He questioned even though i had a slight feeling he knew why we were here

"Elijah we both love you too much it is starting to hurt us emotionally. Imagine being in love with someone that doesn't ever fully want you. I literally feel as if i'm being ripped apart with the thought of wanting you and to get the hell away from you. I sometimes think about just leaving but I know if I do that we may never get a chance to prove our actual love for eachother. Yes you may have messed up in the past but i'm finally willing to let everything go and just love each other!" I replied boldly with tear falling down my face, when I looked at elijah it looked like he wanted to comfort me but he held back his urges

Elijah was about to say something when Hannah spoke up "Elijah I don't have much time on this planet. I only have one lifetime to love someone and I need to know if that person is going to be you. I love you so much that it hurts me. I understand if you love Emilia, and if you do be with her. I just can't take this much longer because if you don't want to be with me I will go be with someone who wants to send the rest of their lives with me. All I have ever wanted was to feel loved and that's how you make me feel and I don't want to let that go just yet. But I understand if I must, i'm not selfish I don't plan to keep you from your soulmate." Hannah blurted beautifully with few tears coming down her face

"I never thought I could love two girls at the same time. I am being selfish when I say that I don't want to let go of either of you. Hannah you make me feel like I can do anything, you make me feel like a whole new person. Emilia, you make me see my old human self in you, you make me see the person I used to be and still am deep down. I know I need to pick one of you but i'm just not ready to let one of you go." Eliah concluded bluntly

I couldn't take this anymore so I just walked out. I needed to breath, no what I needed was blood. At times like this blood was the only thing that can make me forget for a short amount of time. I walked over to a young girl standing just in the normal party of New Orleans. I put my hand around her mouth and pulled her off the street into an alley which i thought was empty. I pushed the girl up against the wall and punctured her neck with my teeth. Once again I couldn't control myself, all I could think about was everything that was happening with elijah. I heard the girls heartbeat slowing down but in that moment I just wanted her dead. Right as she was about to die I was pushed off her and I hit the other alley wall. I looked up and it was Kol, he was giving the girl his blood. Kol stood up and started to slowly walk towards me.

"Emilia do you know how stupid you are-....." Kol was almost done saying when I stopped him as I hugged him

"Kol I don't know ow much longer I can deal with this. I forgave this whole family with what they did to me and now I just want to be accepted. Elijah just can't choose and it hurts me so bad!" I cried into kols shoulder

I was once again the black sheep of the family, well whatever you want to call my messed up situation. I finally fixed myself after all the shit that went down and now I am left with no one. I know my brothers love me but at the moment two of them are very mad at me and one of them somewhat cares.

Niko is one of the only people i couldn't stop thinking of. He was amazing, we had so much good memories together. Niko was the man I almost loved completely. I just have to give him up now, well he already did that with me.
