Elena and Natalie walks into the boarding house. Natalie closes the door behind her when she hears Rose voice.
"It's not nice to leave a girl naked so early in the morning."
They both turn their heads to see Rose in a robe.
"Woah. Sorry I thought you were..."
Elena kept looking straight while Natalie looked at Rose up in down.
"I, uh, sorry, I." Elena says trying to form a sentence.
"There's no one else here." Rose tells her
Elena finally looks at Rose."Actually I came to talk to you."
"Then I should probably get dressed."
"Aww c'mon I was enjoying the view." Natalie walks to Rose and circles her. "Maybe I shouldn't have let Damon get to you. I probably could have gave you a better time."
Rose blushes before moving around Natalie to change.
•••
"It's a bad idea." Rose told Elena.
"No it's not. From what Stefan told me your friend slater obviously has more information about Klaus. You and Damon just gave up before you got it." Elena says
Rose scoffed. "Because somebody blew up a coffee shop with us in it."
"There's more to learn. We just have to find a way to learn it." Elena tells her.
"Why are you coming to me with this." Rose asks her
Elena sighs. "Because you owe me ."
Natalie rolls her eyes. "No she doesn't."
Elena ignores Natalie. "One word from me, and Damon and Stefan could have killed you for kidnapping me."
Natalie laughs. "I wouldn't let them kill Rose even if they tried to."
"That or maybe it's because you know that they wouldn't want you doing this. And their moonstone caper gives you a chance to sneak away." Rose says
"We're having a disagreement, ok? They're willing to risk everyone that I love and I'm not."
Rose sighs at what Elena says. "They're just trying to protect you."
"And you've proven that you couldn't care less whether I'm protect or not. So we're back to you taking me to slater." Elena tells her with sass.
Rose sits down next to Elena. "I care if Natalie is protected yes but you have all these people trying to protect you. So what exactly do you hope to achieve by this?"
"How would you like to be able to walk during the daylight?" Elena ask her.
"Um Elena are you blind cause I know you see that daylight ring on her finger that I made."
Elena was shocked. "When did you make her daylight ring?"
Natalie shrugged. "I already had some made so I gave her one."
•••
Walking up the stairs, they finally make it to slater's apartment door.
Rose pounds on the door. "Slater! Slater it's Rose open up." Hearing no response she turns Elena and Natalie. "He's not home. Sorry."
"Aww to bad. Let's go then." Natalie turns around to leave but Elena speaks. "No. We didn't come all the way out here for nothing."
Rose sighs before she push open the doors breaking the chain on them.
"After you." Gesturing to Elena and Natalie.
Everyone walks in looking around.
"Slater!" Rose yells
Natalie walk forward before looking to her right to see a body.
"If this is slater then I don't think he's going to be much help." Natalie tells them
Rose and Elena run to where Natalie is standing. Rose gasp as she sees slater dead body. Elena sighs.
•••
Rose grabs slater body while Elena walks over to where his computer is. Natalie follows behind her.
"It looks like whoever blew up the coffee shop found him and killed him for his information." Elena says looking at the stuff on the desk.
"Yeah, probably to stop him for helping people like us. The guy was a vampire almanac. Knowing too much information just bit him in the ass." Rose says
Elena start looking at things on his desk. Rose opens the curtain letting sunlight in.
"What are you -"
"Tempered glasses. U.V rays can't penetrate. I used to just come here and watch the day." She says looking outside the window
"I'm sorry about slater." Elena tells her
Rose ignores her statement. "Any luck?"
Natalie taps the computer seeing it needs a password. "It's password protected. Can't get in."
"No this is fine. Let's just go." Rose said trying to get Elena to leave
Everyone hears a doorknob rattling.
"Stay here." Rose walks to door and open it to see someone. "Alice?"
"Rose!" Alice runs into Rose arms crying.
"He's dead!."
•••
Rose rubs Alice knee in comfort. She gets up and walks to the kitchen to see Elena pouring tea in cups.
She stands next to Elena. "She found him a few minutes before we did."
"How is she." Elena ask
Natalie scoffs. "She's Overreacting."
Rose adds on after her. "Big time."
"Her boyfriend just died. There's no such think as overreacting." Elena tells them
"Those tears are for her. She didn't care about slater. She was only dating him long enough to see if he'd turn her." Rose whispers
Natalie rolls her eyes at this information. She would be mad if someone just used her for their own wants.
Elena sighs and grabs a cup of tea to give to Alice. She hands it to her and sits down.
"Thank you." Alice looks at Elena. "You look really familiar. Did you know slater?"
Elena shakes her head. "Not personally, no. I just knew that he kept detailed records of all of his vampire contacts, and I was hoping that he could point me towards Klaus."
"Doubtful. Klaus doesn't want to be pointed out." Alice explains
"Do you know slaters computer password?" Elena ask
Alice turns and looks at Elena. "Are you seriously asking me that right now? I just saw my boyfriend with a stake through his heart."
Natalie scoffed "Oh don't act like you care about slater dying."
Elena gives Natalie a look and turns back to Alice. "I understand that. Do you know his password?"
"Who do you think you are?" Alice ask before drinking the tea
Elena looks up at Rose and comes up with an idea.
"What if I could convince Rose to turn you. Will you show us his files then?" Elena ask her
Natalie rolled her eyes at Elena.
They all walk to slater's computer.
"Someone's been here. The hard drive's completely wiped out." Alice explains
"Yeah probably whoever killed him." Rose says
"Lucky for you slater was paranoid. Everything's backed up on our remote server." She says while typing
Rose whispers in Elena ear. "You know that she not going anywhere near my blood right?"
Elena nods. "I know. She doesn't."
Alice rolls her eyes. "Kristen Stewart. God, was he obvious."
"These are all links to vampires?" Alice nods at Elena question. "Slater was obsessed almost as much as me."
"What about that one? Cody Webber. He exchanged dozens of emails about Elijah." Rose says getting close to the computer
"I could call him." Alice suggest
Elena grabs the phone and gives it Alice. "Tell him that we're trying to send a message to Klaus. The doppelganger and his soulmate is alive and they're ready to surrender."
"What!"
Natalie knows she hasn't said much but she couldn't believe Elena thought she was involved with her suicide tendencies.
"What the hell Elena! How could you just sell me out like that. I didn't even tell you I wanted to be found by Klaus."
Elena had a guilty look on her face. "I'm sorry. Since you're important to him I thought you would want apart of this."
"I didn't say anything about wanting to turn myself in."
Alice looked at Elena. "Oh my god, I knew I recognized you."
"Get him the message please." Elena repeats
Natalie glared at Alice. "If you include me in any of this I was slit your throat."
Elena and Natalie walks out the room. One pissed off while the other is nervous. Rose follows after them looking at Elena.
"What are you doing?" Rose ask her angrily
"I'm getting Klaus attention." Elena simply tells her
"If Klaus knows you are alive he will find you and kill you."
Elena just looks at Rose.
"Which is exactly what you wanted all along." Rose realizes
"It's either me or my family." Elena tells her
"So this whole charade was a suicide mission so you could sacrifice yourself and save everyone else."
Alice walks towards them. "Cody is on his way and he really wants to meet you two."
Natalie glared at Alice. "I thought I told you to leave me out of it." Grabbing her head she bangs it against the wall knocking Alice out.
•••
"So how exactly does this spell work?" Elijah asks.
"Give me your hand." Elijah give Jonas his hand. He cuts it open. "Place it here." Elijah places his hand on a picture of Elena.
"Now take my hand. Close your eyes. Relax your mind and look for her."
(Chanting in Latin)
Elena is looking out the window. She gasps as she she's Elijah face appears. She turns around and see nothing. She looks back at the window.
Elijah opens his eyes.
"You saw her didn't you." He state.
"I know exactly where she is."
•••
Slater apartment
Elena is drinking water when she sees Alice looking behind her. She turns around and gasps when she sees Damon
"What are you doing here?" Elena ask
With an angered look he asks. "What are you doing here?"
Rose and Natalie walk in. Elena looks at Rose.
"You called him?" She asks angrily
Rose sighs. "I'm sorry Elena."
"You said that you understand."
Natalie rolled her eyes. "She lied."
Alice then comes up with excitement in her voice. "Damon Salvatore."
"Get rid of her."
Rose takes Alice from out the room. "No... way."
Damon looks at Natalie then back at Elena. "Come on. We're leaving."
"Gladly." She goes to leave
"No." Elena says standing her ground
He clenched his jaw. "I said we're leaving."
"I'm not going with you."
Natalie rolls her eyes. "Elena let's go I don't have time for this."
"You do not get to make decisions anymore." Damon tells her
"When have I ever made a decision? You and Stefan do that for me. Now this is my decision." She yelled at him
"That's why Elena! Because you do stupid shit to get your self killed."
Damon added on. "Who's going to save your life while you're out making stupid decisions."
"You're not listening to me, Damon. I don't want to be saved. Not if it means that Klaus is going to kill every single person that I love."
"Get your ass out the door before I throw you over my shoulder and carry you out myself." He says through gritted teeth.
"Should have done that from the start." Natalie muttered
He grabs her arm but Elena refuses.
"No."
She goes to punch him but he catches her fist. He gets close to her face. "Don't ever do that again."
•••
Slaters apartment
Damon opens the door to the bedroom and walk out. "Time to go Alice is sound asleep. Won't remember a moment of this horribly stupid day."
Everyone gets up as they here the doors bust open. In comes 3 men.
"We're here to meet the doppelganger and the soulmate." The one in the front says
Elena shows herself. "Thanks for coming."
Natalie glared at Elena before looking at the men.
"If you think I'm coming with you then you have another thing coming." Natalie threatens
"I will break your arm." He looks at the men. "There's nothing here for you."
They hear a crack before seeing Elijah standing there.
Rose vamps speed out as she sees Elijah.
"I killed you. Your were dead." Damon says confused
"For centuries now."
Natalie chuckles at this but stops when she receives a glared from Damon. She flips him off before looking at Elijah.
"Who are you.?" One of the vampire asks
The vampire replies with sass. "Who are you?"
"I'm Elijah."
"We were going to bring them to you. For Klaus. She's the doppelganger and the other is the soulmate. I don't know how they exist but they do. Klaus will want to see them."
"Does anyone else know that you're here?" Elijah asks
"No." The vampire shakes his head
"Well then you have been incredibly helpful." He sticks his hands in each other there chest and pulls there heart out.
Elena gasps as Elijah drops the heart. Damon goes up to fight him
Elijah looks at Natalie before vamp speeding out the apartment.
Damon looks back at both of them confused.
"Where's Bonnie?" Natalie asks.
Damon hesitate not knowing if Bonnie wanted her to know or not. He sighs and tells her.
"She trying to open take the barrier down to get the moonstone."
"Why in the hell is she trying to do that! Can't you see she isn't strong enough yet. Her nose bleeds because she's trying to doto much magic at one time. Just give her break. She needs to learn how manage herself and do a lot of magic at once." Natalie glared at Damon. "If she even is hurt I will stake you."
•••
Natalie walks up the stairs to the house. She goes to unlock the door when she feels a presence behind her.
"Hello Elijah."
"Natalie. I think it's time we have a chat."
She sighs and goes to one of the chairs on their porch. She pats the seat next to her. Elijah sits.
She's the first to break the silence. "I kinda knew you weren't dead. Like just some plain ole stake wasn't going to do the trick."
"Yet you don't seem scared or trying to get rid of Klaus." Elijah states.
"One because I'm not and two because I wanna see what the hype is on the "oh so scary vampire.""
Elijah laughed lightly in amusement.
"Just know that Klaus has no intent of hurting you. He's been waiting a thousand years to meet you."
"Is he really psycho and scary as everyone makes him out to be? Because in my opinion nobody is just like that. Know what I mean?"
"Yea I do. But before we turned Klaus was never the way he is. I feel you can make him better."
"Well as long as he doesn't hurt Caroline, Jeremy, Bonnie, and now Jenna then we are good."
"You didn't add Elena or the Salvatore?"
Natalie scoffed. "Everyone is so hell bent on saving her. She needs to toughen up because someone may not be there to help her. And the brothers I don't really like Damon for what he did to Caroline. He's been going to Bonnie every-time they have a problem. They don't give my cousin a break. Stefan he's okay we don't really talk since he's around Bonnie age in human years."
"Well I give you my word that you and your friends won't get hurt."
"Oh add Rose to that list."
Elijah makes a noise of disapproval.
"Aww c'mon. All she wants is to be free and she's my friend and probably the only one that cares other than Jenna, Bonnie, Jeremy, and Caroline."
"Why the Gilbert boy."
"Because he comes to me when Jennas at college and Elena is with her boy toys. He sometimes feels that he less important since she's always with them."
Elijah nods.
"Do you have any other clothing items?" She asks.
"No I do not."
"But why! You would look good in some jeans and shirt. I don't think I can go with you wearing suits all the time."
"I have to keep my appearance up I'm the noble original what did you expect."
Natalie groans. "Fine but one day I will get you out of a suit."
Elijah chuckles. "We'll see."
"So tell me about Klaus and your other siblings."
"How do you know Klaus is my brother?"
Natalie shrugged. "Kinda just put two and two together."
"Okay well Klaus the hybrid. Everyone fears him because he gets what he want no matter the consequences. Then you have Finn; Klaus had him daggered for over 900 years. Then you have Kol he's the misunderstood one. I think that's why he's a bit reckless. He would feed and kill. You have Rebekah. She and Klaus would get into it because he killed all her lovers. And Henrik he passed away before we were turned into vampires.
"Where are they, if you don't mind me asking?"
Elijah facial expression turned sad then blank. "Klaus daggered them and put them at the bottom of the ocean."
Natalie made a confuse face. "Was he a family man?"
Elijah looked confused before answering. "Yes he was. He would dagger us to 'keep us safe'."
"Then he probably has them. I don't think he'd put them in the ocean. I would give him a little more credit if he love you all."
Elijah feels himself getting angry. "And how could you possibly know this? You've never even met him let alone know how he works."
"Your right but think about it. Maybe he did that just to make you angry."
Elijah sighs. "I think it's time for you to sleep. Here's my number."
Natalie takes the sheet of paper and looks at Elijah. "We will be hanging out soon so when we do, do not wear a suit."
He chuckles. "Okay."
He waits for Natalie gets in the house before he speeds away. Natalie hangs her keys up and goes straight to her room. She'll deal with Bonnie tomorrow.
She changes out her clothes and into a oversized shirt. She goes into the bathroom and brushes her teeth. She puts a bonnet on and leaves the bathroom.
She plugs her phone up and head straight to bed.
