Nadia Gilbert

-Chapter 1-

Know Thy Enemy

Elena, Jenna, and I all stare at Isobel in shock. How can she just show up like that? I can't help but glance at Jenna worriedly. After all, Ric did tell her that Isobel's dead.

"Hello, girls." Isobel smiles softly at me and Elena. "It's nice to see you two again."

I stand there, still trying to take in this situation as Elena's mouth hangs open as she walks closer toward Jenna and Isobel.

"Again?" Jenna asks.

"So you're the woman that's dating my husband." Isobel smirks before Elena can say anything.

"I need to speak to my daughters..." Isobel starts to say to Jenna.

"No, you don't." I say quickly before Elena quickly shuts the door in her face. We both turn to look at Jenna worriedly. How are we going to explain all of this to her?

"You two knew she was still alive." Jenna looks tearfully between me and Elena. "Ric? John? Did they know?"

"Nadia and I can explain everything to you." Elena says to her as a stray tear rolls down her cheek.

"No." Jenna says angrily before walking away.

"No, Jenna, please." Elena cries.

"Jenna, wait!" I call out as I can feel the tears swelling up in my eyes. Elena and I chase after her up the stairs.

Jenna runs into her room, locking the door behind her. I knock on it."Jenna, open up!" I cry as the tears start falling. I can't imagine how hurt she must be...

"Jenna, you have to talk to us, we need to explain what's going on." Elena says as she desperately tries to open the door.

Jenna doesn't open the door, but I can still hear her shaky breathing as she tries to control her tears...

I come downstairs just as Elena opens the door for Alaric. "Hey, is she up yet?" Ric asks as soon as Elena opens the door.

"She won't come out of her room." Elena shakes her head.

"What'd you tell her?" Ric asks.

"Nothing." Elena says, crossing her arms. "She won't talk to me."

"She's not listening to anything we say." I tell Ric sadly. "I don't even know what to tell her."

"Okay, we're going to have to fix this." Ric sighs.

Just then, Jenna rushes down the stairs. "Hey." Elena says at the same time Ric says "Jenna."

"I don't want you here, Ric." Jenna says, not looking at any of us. "You need to go." She drops her purse down on the floor by the door before walking away to the closet.

"Listen, I can't begin to imagine what you must be feeling right now." Ric says to her gently.

"Rage and betrayal would pretty much cover it." Jenna says angrily.

"Where are you going?" Elena asks.

"I'm going to stay on campus." Jenna says quickly as she puts on her jacket. "I've a thesis to write. I don't want to be in this house."

"Jenna, please, just stop." Ric says. "Let us explain to you exactly what is going on."

Jenna ignores Ric and turns to Elena and I. "Elena, Nadia I need you two to go to the Lockwoods' today and accept the historical society's check for your mom's foundation."

"Okay, but Jenna, just please..." Elena starts.

"I don't have it in me to hear anymore lies from you." Jenna interrupts tearfully before slamming the door behind her.

"Jenna just..." Elena calls out after her at the same time I call out. "Jenna wait!"

"Let it go." John's voice interrupts. "It's better that she's not here what with everything that's going on. But, maybe, had you been a little bit more honest with her from the beginning..." John's interrupted by Ric as he punches him in the face. My eyes widen as Elena gasps.

"Sorry girls." Ric murmurs to us before leaving the house.

"You know this is your fault, right?" Elena scoffs in amusement as John's now having a nosebleed.

"Right." John mutters, but it doesn't sound convincing.

I cross my arms and smirk. "Just be glad it was Ric that punched you, because I would've done it much harder." I tell him before Elena and I go back upstairs.

"I can't find him anywhere." Caroline tells me and Stefan over the phone. "He's not at home, he's not answering his phone."

"How can you let him go?" Stefan says.

I roll my eyes at Stefan. "She didn't let him go, Matt obviously snuck out."

"My mom walked in, and he just took off!" I can practically hear Caroline nodding. "I don't know what to do." She whines as Stefan and I walk up the stairs to Elena.

"Did your mom hear anything?" Stefan asks.

"No, she just thinks we were fighting." Caroline answers. "But he knows about me, and he's freaking out about Vicki."

"Alright, listen, you have to find him, you have to calm him down, compel him if you have to." Stefan says. "Is he still on Vervain?"

"I slip it into his soda when he's at work, but I didn't get to it last night, so it's out of his system." Caroline says.

"He has a catering shift at the Lockwood's today, I'm gonna try there." Caroline says before hanging up.

"This is officially turning into a nightmare." I sigh as I run my hands through my waist-length, wavy dark brown curls.

"This is bad." Elena nods in agreement. "Between Isobel and Jenna, and now Matt, this is disastrous bad."

"Yep." Stefan agrees.

I stand up. "Okay, I'm going to go help Caroline deal with Matt, you two try and figure out this whole Jenna and Isobel thing." I tell them.

"Sounds like a plan." Stefan nods.

"I'll call for updates." I tell them.

"Okay." Elena says. "We'll see you later."

I nod and am just about to leave when John comes upstairs. "Elena, Nadia can you two come downstairs please? I need to talk to you."

"We've nothing to say to you." Elena scoffs.

"Please, it's important." John says. "You too, Stefan." This surprises all three of us as we glance at each other uncertainly before following him downstairs.

My large dark brown eyes widen when I see Isobel waiting for us downstairs. "I asked John for a do-over."

"You invited her in?" Elena growls at John in disbelief.

"I can't believe you actually allowed her in here." I cross my arms in annoyance.

"She has information about Klaus, please, just listen to her, okay?" John tells us.

"How do we even know if she's telling the truth?" I roll my eyes before Stefan steps forward.

"Alright." He sighs, making me raise a dark eyebrow. "What do you know?"

"Since I was last here, I've been doing everything possible to find Klaus." Isobel says as we're now all in the kitchen. "We knew our best chance is to find him before he could find Elena."

"The best chance at what?" Stefan frowns.

"Keeping Elena alive." John says. "We're hoping that at least one of our daughters can stay human."

"Well clearly, we can't all have what we want." I say to him acidically.

"You don't get to talk, okay?" Elena tells him. "Not after everything you've done."

"Were you able to find Klaus?" Stefan asks Isobel.

"No." Isobel says. "Nobody knows where he is. But there are these rumors that are flying around that a doppelgänger exists."

"Which means that any vampire that wants to get in favor with Klaus will be lining up to capture Elena." John tells us.

Stefan and I both share a look with Elena. "I'm not buying any of this." Elena turns back to John and Isobel. "The last time that you were here, you made it clear that you didn't give a damn about me or Nadia." She says to Isobel. "Now, all of a sudden, I'm supposed to believe that you want to help?"

"Isobel's been helping all along." John tells us, making me frown.

"How?" I ask.

"Klaus's been obsessed with finding Katherine for centuries." John answers. "All it takes is any one of those 1864 tomb vampires to spread a word around that Katherine's still alive, and it would bring him straight here to Mystic Falls where you're bound to be discovered. So we killed them."

"Yeah." I nod as I glare at them. "Because of what you did Stefan and Damon almost died."

"Yeah." John nods quietly.

"I've a safe house that I can take you girls to." Isobel tells us, making me frown. "To break the curse Klaus would also need to sacrifice a vampire, wouldn't he?" Isobel says to me.

I roll my eyes. "There are like a gazillion vampires in this world."

"True." Isobel nods. "But I think it's best that we don't take any chances."

"The deed to the safe house is in Elena's name." Isobel continues. "No vampires can get in without her permission. Let me help you." She looks to me and Elena.

"You want to help?" Elena says. "Then get the hell out of our house."

"If that's all you've to say, you should leave." I tell Isobel coldly before turning to Elena and Stefan. "I'm gonna go find Caroline and Matt." I tell them. They both nod before I take my leave.

I finally find Caroline as she's with Carol Lockwood and sheriff Forbes. I start walking over to her just as she leaves them to come to me. "Any luck?" I ask as we meet mid-way.

"None." She shakes her head before starting to panic. "What if he tells somebody?"

"Don't start freaking out." I tell her gently as I touch her arm. "Remember how we first responded when he told us that Vicki said that she was bitten by a vampire? He probably won't talk to anybody, he most likely thinks that nobody would believe him."

"I've no idea where he is." Caroline looks like she's on the verge of tears.

"We'll find him." I promise her. "Let's think of other places he might be, okay?"

"Okay." She nods.

"Look, I've to accept this thing for Jenna, but why don't you go out and drive around and see if you can find him, and I'll catch up with you, okay?" I say.

"Yeah." Caroline agrees.

"... And here to accept the donation to the Miranda Sommers Gilbert scholarship fund, is Nadia Gilbert." Mrs. Lockwood finishes. I smile and walk up to accept the donation as people smile and clap.

"The historical society was my mom's fourth kid." I start my speech with a light joke as I can hear people chuckling. "She considered all of you to be her family, and would be honored and touched by this gift..."

I stop when I hear the loud sound of someone tumbling down the stairs. Then, just like that, everyone starts getting up, wondering what happened.

I hop down from the stage, and am just about to follow them when Katherine steps in front of me. "Nice dress." She says in a tone that doesn't sound like a compliment.

"What are you doing here, Katherine?" I narrow my eyes.

"Let the sheriff do her job!" I hear Carol Lockwood say loudly. When I turn back to where Katherine was, she's already gone.

"He's bleeding." I hear Stefan's voice say. "Is he alright?"

I walk over to where the crowd is. I squeeze through the crowd. My eyes widen and my mouth hangs open in shock when I see that it's John that is lying on the floor, hurt.

"Yeah, I got it." Sheriff Forbes says before Stefan stands up. I quickly walk over to him and pull him aside.

"This has something to do with Katherine." I tell him right away. "I just saw her."

"What?!" Stefan's eyes widen. "Where did she go?"

"I don't know." I say. "She disappeared on me in like two seconds."

"I'm gonna try and figure this out." Stefan says. "By the way, any luck with Matt and Caroline?"

"None so far." I shake my head. "Tell Elena to call me if she thinks of any places that Matt might go."

"Of course." Stefan says. "I'm gonna go and tell her what just happened, okay?"

"Yeah, I'll see you later." I nod before leaving.

88888

"Hey, Matt." Caroline's leaving Matt another message. "If you're listening to this, it means that you've just missed the last twenty five messages I've left you, which all say the same thing, so call me." She finishes sadly.

"Still no luck?" I say sympathetically as I walk over to her.

"What are we going-" Caroline abruptly stops talking when she looks into her house. "Matt..." Her eyes widen. Then I see him too, sitting inside by the kitchen counter.

Before I can say anything, my phone rings. "Hello?" I answer it.

"Hey, is Elena with you?" Stefan sounds worried.

"No." I feel a frown on my oval-shaped face. "Hasn't she been with you the whole day today?"

"I can't find her anywhere, and Damon just called me, telling me that Katherine has the moonstone." Stefan tells me.

"You think Katherine has Elena?" I ask.

"It's either her or Isobel." Stefan says bitterly.

"Okay, I'm coming, where are you?" I say.

"I'm by your house." Stefan says.

"I'll be there as soon as I can, Stefan." I tell him before hanging up.

I turn to Caroline. "It's okay, go, I got this." She says before I can get a word out.

I look between her and Matt. It might be a good idea to give them some time alone. "Okay." I say. "But call me if you need anything."

"I know." Caroline says. "Now go help Stefan and Elena."

"Bye Care." I smile before walking away.

88888

Stefan, Damon, and I drive up to the house we're assuming is Isobel's house. "You think this is the house?" Stefan asks.

"It better be." Damon says. "It's nice for closure in town."

"I swear to god if she's not here..." Stefan starts.

"Don't be such a pessimist." Damon interrupts him.

"You're one to talk." I roll my large dark brown eyes sarcastically.

"Shut up." Damon says to me, making me smirk as Stefan opens the house front door before we step inside.

"I got upstairs." Stefan tells us before heading there. I hear his quick footsteps rushing all around upstairs before he comes back down in a rush.

"This is definitely the right place." Damon says. "That's Isobel's stuff." He points to the brown luggages on the floor by the door.

"Where are they?" Stefan asks tensely.

"I don't know, Stefan." Damon answers in slight annoyance.

"Where would she take Elena?" I bite my full lips worriedly.

"Come on, let's drive around and try to think other places they might be." Stefan says as he pulls me out of the house with him. Damon follows us, shutting the door behind him.

88888

We all return to the Salvatore house after Elena calls Stefan that she's fine and that she's by his house.

Elena and I look at the daylight necklace that belonged to Isobel after she told me and Stefan what Isobel did and how she killed herself.

It's strange, I thought I hated her, but now that she's really gone, I feel surprisingly empty. "Is that Isobel's?" Stefan asks as he walks toward us.

"I never thought I would feel bad about her being dead, and yet..." Elena starts sadly.

"You feel empty." I finish for her quietly.

"Yeah." Elena nods.

"She was your mother." Stefan shrugs.

Elena nods before speaking up. "Why did they let me go?"

"I don't know." Stefan shakes his head. "Everything that John told us, we have to assume that Klaus knows, right?"

"Right." I nod in agreement. "He knows that Elena's not going to turn herself into a vampire."

"He knows that she has us keeping her safe." Stefan says.

"He knows that I'm not going to run." Elena says as a look of realization appears on her face.

"Which is why we need to take some precautions." Damon's voice sounds as he walks into the room.

"Hey, Damon, where have you been?" I smile.

"That's not important." He says as he walks over to me and Elena with some papers in his hands. He gives it to us. "Cause we got played. All of us."

"What's this?" Elena asks.

"It's the deed to our house." Stefan says, making me smile. "Changed Zach's name, all you've to do is sign it." He tells Elena.

"You're giving me your house..." Elena says hesitantly.

"Isobel had the right idea with the safe house." Stefan shrugs. "You'll just stay here till it's all over. That way you can control who gets invited and who doesn't."

"Although I'll be super pissed if you lock me out." Damon says to Elena before turning to me. "Wouldn't you?"

"I know she will invite me in." I grin, turning to Elena. "Right?"

"Of course." Elena smiles. "We're sisters after all."

Just then, John, who's lying on the floor, gasps awake. Damon zooms to him and grabs him by the collar of his shirt just as Elena's standing up. "I swear, I've no idea what she was gonna do." John pants in a scared tone. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so, sorry."

"Damon let him go." Elena says, but Damon's looking at me.

"Drop him, Damon." I sigh as I wrinkle my straight nose in distaste. "Don't dirty your hands." Damon finally puts him down before I get up from my seat too and walk over to where Elena's standing.

"We need to talk." Elena tells him.

88888

I go outside for a walk as Elena and John are talking. I stop when I reach the small bridge. I lean over as I look down at the small clear stream as the wind blows on my pale skin.

I've always liked how the moon reflects off of the water on a clear night. "Beautiful, isn't it?" An unfamiliar British voice sounds from behind me.

I turn around to see a handsome Caucasian man in his early to mid twenties. "You're new here." I frown and tilt my head. I say it more like a statement than a question.

"You seem very certain of that." He smiles in amusement.

"It's a small town." I shrug. "I was born and raised here, I know everyone." I say before turning back around to look at the stream.

He walks over to stand beside me before I speak up again. "So are you going to introduce yourself or am I just going to have to call you stranger?"

"My apologies." He chuckles lightly. "My name is Nik..."

Author's note: I'm sorry guys, I know I've already reedited this once before, but I've finally decided on what I want her to look like for good. So this time would be the last time. I promise, so please don't be annoyed with me and review anyways!
