Hi everyone, it's me again. Hope you enjoy this chapter and please leave a review and let me know what you think.

"We need to tell Bonnie that Elena's missing," Caroline says whilst pulling out her phone.

"Yeah, I guess," Damon mumbles, still pacing the hallway.

Caroline puts her phone back in her pocket and says, "I've told her to meet us at the old Mikaelson's house."

"Well then let's go!" Damon mutters with frustration, and for once his statements show no trace of wittiness.

"Right, sorry," Caroline says. She opens the door to reveal a teenage boy, probably around the age of 17.

"Is this the house of Damon Salvatore?" he asks. Caroline and Damon look at each other in shock and nod for the boy to continue.

"All whom currently reside are formally invited to the Mikaelson's welcome party," he says joyfully. "It will begin at 6 o'clock tonight." He then turns and begins to walk away, before Caroline grabs him by the shoulder and turns him abruptly.

"Who sent you here?" she asks. The smile which was previously plastered across his face has now been replaced with a puzzled frown.

"I … I don't remember," he mumbles, clearly straining to remember.

"He's been compelled," Caroline releases him from her grip, and he walks away.

"No kidding," Damon says sarcastically. "I never would've guessed by his little speech from the Mikaelsons."

Caroline rolls her eyes and begins to head toward Damon's Chevy Camaro Convertible and slips into the driver's seat.

"Ahem?" Damon calls. "What gives you the idea that I'm gonna allow you to drive my car?"

"I did," Caroline hisses, bearing her fangs. Damon immediately retreats to the passenger seat.

"Just to clarify," Damon clears his throat. "I'm sitting here because I don't feel like driving, not because you have dominance over me. Which you don't."

Caroline chuckles and revs the accelerator, causing Damon to jump.

"What?" he mutters. "Must be the human reflexes."

I'm using Rebekah's vintage silver-plated hairbrush which she reluctantly allowed me to borrow, in preparation for tonight's party. I watch myself in the mirror as I brush my long brown hair, enjoying the satisfaction of my hair being perfectly tangle free and smooth.

"I can see it now," a voice says from behind me. The same voice that has been haunting me for almost 6 months. My heart is pounding out of my chest, and every muscle in my body is telling me to run as fast as I can, as far away as possible – but I'm entirely frozen in fear. My feet are planted to the floor, and I can almost feel myself sinking like a stick in quicksand. I look in the mirror, and like every time before, I see Stefan. His face begins to transform again, into a blood sucking monster. In the mirror, bodies are sprawled across the entire floor, completely drained of life. Heads detached from their bodies.

"I can see it now," Stefan repeats, taking a step closer to me. And another. And another. I release an ear-piercing scream. He is so close I can almost feel his breath against my neck.

"What the bloody hell are you screaming at?" I turn to find Rebekah standing right behind me, where Stefan once was.

"I … I-thought … I thought I s-saw-" I stammer.

"Y-you s-saw w-what?" Rebekah mimics. "God, I always knew you were insane."

At this point, I'm too shook to even attempt to think of a comeback so I just sit in silence. Rebekah rolls her eyes and heads towards the door, before halting for a second. She turns and says, "oh and by the way, the party starts in an hour."

"Right," I mumble.

Suddenly, a series of loud thumps sound from the front door downstairs. Rebekah darts downstairs and tears a knife from out of the knife block and stands by the door.

"Rebekah love, calm down it's only our guests," Klaus smiles, peering out the window. His smile instantly fades when he locks his gaze on Caroline.

"Yeah well they're an hour early," Rebekah retorts.

"Put it away now, or I'll put you away," he says coldly, flashing his fangs. Rebekah groans and reluctantly returns the knife. Klaus opens the front door to reveal Damon and Caroline.

"Where is Elena?!" Damon yells, storming through the door. "Where is she!"

"Now, no need to worry. She's completely safe," Klaus says calmly. "You'll be seeing her soon."

"We don't take orders from you, Klaus," Caroline steps in. "We want to see her now."

Klaus pauses for a second before gasping, "Caroline."

Caroline remains calm, but for some reason something is switched on inside of her when she hears him say her name. It sends tingles through her body, almost making her feel weak.

"I know you're mad but I'm not the enemy here," Klaus says, taking a step closer to Caroline.

"Then why did you take Elena?" Damon cuts in. Klaus freezes, and for once he looked almost … scared.

"You will see her soon, I promise. She is entirely safe in the bedroom upstairs," Klaus says. Damon begins to walk towards the staircase before Klaus says, "I wouldn't do that."

"Who's gonna stop me?" Damon scowls.

"The spell I put on the door," Klaus says calmly. "One of the perks of having a witch as a house maid."

Damon clenches his fist to stop himself from lashing out. He looks at Caroline and sees the look of worry on her face, and decides to leave Elena until Klaus returns her. All of a sudden there is a knock on the door, and a swarm of people flood into the house. Caroline looks at the grandfather clock on the wall beside the staircase to find that it is exactly 6pm, which means that these people must have been invited under compulsion. Amongst this swarm is Bonnie, who fights her way through the crowd to get to Caroline.

"Sorry I'm late, I was with Enzo and only just got your text," Bonnie pants in exhaustion. "What have I missed?"

"We were right. Klaus has Elena," Caroline sighs.

"Well why aren't we trying to get her back?" Bonnie exclaims.

"Klaus said she's safe," Caroline assures her.

"… and you trust him?" Bonnie asks.

"I-" Caroline begins.

"Caroline, may I speak with you?" Elijah interrupts.

"Uh … okay," Caroline mumbles.

Elijah takes Caroline to a reasonably private room located near the back of the house, and peers out of the door before closing it behind him to ensure they're alone.

"Caroline, you must be wondering why Klaus took your friend," Elijah says.

"Uh, yeah," Caroline mutters, crossing her arms.

"Well I just wanted to tell you," Elijah says. "Klaus told me that he took her to find out about Stefan's death."

Caroline looks down and shuffles her feet at the sound of Stefan's name. "What does Klaus care about Stefan?"

"Exactly. It's a cover up," Elijah whispers. "I think he lied to me. Last time I checked, Klaus didn't give a damn about Stefan."

"Then what do you think is going on?" Caroline asks.

Elijah leans in and whispers, "I think there's something dark here in Mystic Falls. Something that's brought darkness here before."

"What does that have to do with Elena?" Caroline says impatiently.

"Elena is the last known living doppelganger," Elijah says.

"Oh my God," Caroline gasps.

"She's going to be a sacrifice."

Hey all! I know there was a lotttt of dialogue in this chapter. Let me know what you thought of it! Also this chapter was all over the place so I'm sorry about that.
