In a secluded country area, an SUV is meeting another car. The man gets out of the car and goes over to the man in the SUV. The man in the SUV is wearing a cap and sunglasses.

"Where are they?" The man Trevor questions.
"In the trunk, I did exactly what you said," the kidnappers said.

"Good, put them in the back," Trevor tells the man. The man opens the SUV trunk and then goes to his car. He opens the trunk.

Rosie and Elena are in it, unconscious. He takes one at a time and puts her in the SUV trunk. Trevor sees her in the rear-view mirror and smiles. After putting them in the trunk, he joins Trevor.

"Thank you for your help," Trevor tells the man.
"Is there anything else?" The man questions.

"One more thing. Come closer, please," Trevor says as the man gets closer.

"Closer," Trevor tells him as the man gets closer. Trevor takes him, bites him, drinks his blood, and then throws him on the floor and he leaves. The man is dead.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Back at the high school, Stefan is closing his locker as Jermey joins him.

"Hey Jeremy," Stefan says as he looks around for Rosie having not heard from her since last night.

"Look, Elena's got to let me know if I'm supposed to cover for her. Jenna's cool with the two of you but you guys are pushing it," Jeremy says making Stefan look at him confused.

"What are you talking about?" Stefan questions him.
"You and Elena. Look, I'm glad you guys are back together but if she's gonna sleepover...," Jermey says before Stefan interrupts him.

"Wait, wait...hold on a minute. We're not back together," Stefan tells him as he shakes his head.

"Wait...she didn't stay at your place last night?" Jeremy questions getting worried.

"No, I mean I saw her at the party but that was it. She didn't sleepover," Stefan tells him.

"'Cause her bed hadn't been slept in and Mrs. Lockwood said that her car was still in the driveway. Where is she then?" Jeremy questions but before Stefan could respond Caroline shows up.

"Stefan where is my sister?" Caroline questions making Jermey and Stefan look at her.

"I thought she was with you. I was supposed to take her home but I guessed she saw you and you took her home," Stefan says making Caroline look confused.

"No, she said you were taking her home last night. I just guessed she stayed with you and Damon," Caroline says as she looks wide-eyed.

"Where the hell is she?" Caroline questions as all three of them look concerned. Stefan felt fear go through his entire body with those words.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Meanwhile, the SUV is parking in the driveway. Trevor is carrying Elena, who is waking up. They are in the house. He puts her on the couch right next to a still passed-out Rosie. Both their hands and feet are tied. Trevor starts to remove the ropes from Rosie.

"What do you want?" Elena questions as Trevor heads over to her.

"Ssh," Trevor tells her as Elena tried to back away.
"Please, I'm hurt," Elena tells him as she looks toward Rosie.

"I know. Just a taste," Trevor says as he leans down to bite her wound but Rose arrives and he stops.

"Trevor! Control yourself," Rose yells making Rosie wake up and look around confused.

"Buzzkill," Trevor tells her as he leaves. Leaving Rose is alone with Elena and Rosie.

"What do you want with me?" Elena questions as Rosie rolls her eyes.

"Oh my god, you look just like her," Rose says as she looks at Elena.

"But I'm not. Please, whatever you-," Elena starts to say before she is stopped.

"Be quiet!" Rose yells and I could tell she was getting annoyed.

"But I'm not Katherine. My name is Elena Gilbert; you don't have to do this," Elena tells her making Rosie huff.

"I know who you are, I said be quiet," Rose tells her.
"What do you want?" Elena questions her making Rose slap her hard. Elena falls on the couch, unconscious.

"I want you to be quiet," Rose tells her as Rosie busts out laughing.

"Can you please do that again so I can video it?" I ask her making Rose look at me confused.

"Do you have any ice cream?" I ask her making Rose look at me concerned.

"Oh, I've been kidnapped many times. I'm used to this. So ice cream?" I ask her with a sweet smile.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Soon enough Elena is waking up. Rose and Trevor are upstairs. They're talking. Elena looks around and turns to see Rosie sitting on the couch eating ice cream.

"How're the girls?" Rose questions Trevor.
"Still passed out and the other is eating quietly," Trevor tells him making Rose nod.

"You didn't touch them, did you?" Rose questions him.

"Give me some credit. So, you called him?" Trevor questions her.

"No, I called one of his contacts. You know how this works," Rose tells him.

"Did you or did you not get the message to Elijah?" Trevor questions making Rosie look intrigued.

"They say he got it," Rose tells him annoyed.
"Wonderful and what?" Trevor questions her as Elena gets up and walks upstairs. Rose shakes her head at her but Elena ignored her.

"So that's it, Trevor. He either got it or he didn't. We just have to wait," Rose tells him.

"Look, it's not too late. We can leave it here. We don't have to go through with this," Trevor offers and you could tell he was scared.

"I'm sick of running!" Rose yells at him.

"Yeah? Well, running keeps us from dying," Trevor tells her making Rosie look down that was no life for anyone.

"Elijah's old school. If he accepts our deal, we're free," Rose tells him as Elena accidentally makes one of the boards squeak making Rose wince as Rose looks at her.

"You! There's nothing around here for miles. If you think you're getting out of this house, you're tragically wrong. Understand?" Rose questions her making Elena look wide with fear.

"Who's Elijah?" Elena questions her.
"He's your worst nightmare," Rose tells her making Rosie shake her head.

"My worst fear is a world without ice cream or iced coffee so...," Rosie tells them with a sweet smile.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Jeremy Caroline and Bonnie are in Alaric's classroom. There is a map and two candles on the table.

"How does this is work?" Jermey questions Bonnie.

"I'll use both of your blood to draw energy for the tracking spell. You're both blood-related; it'll make the connection stronger," Bonnie tells them as Stefan arrives.

"Alright, Alaric said we've got to clear out of here within ten minutes. I've got weapons, he stocked me up," Stefan tells them making them nod.

"Are you ready?" Bonnie questions both siblings making them nod as she cuts Jeremy's hand and then Caroline. Their blood falls on the map. Bonnie concentrates herself to cast the spell. The blood drops and merges into one and goes toward Elena's and Rosies location.

"There. They are there," Bonnie tells them making them all look at the map.

"That's 300 miles away," Jermey tells them.
"No, Bonnie. We need a more exact location than that," Stefan tells her as he looks at the map.

"That's as close as I can get," Bonnie tells him sadly.
"We can map it, aerial view will show us what's around there, help us narrow down the area," Jermey tells them.

"Perfect. Call me with whatever you find," Stefan tells him as Caroline starts to follow Stefan.

"No, no, I'm coming with you!" Jeremy tells him making Stefan shake his head.

"No Jeremy, you're not. You aren't either Caroline," Stefan tells them making Caroline shake her head.

"No my sister could be hurt or worse? What if she's...?" Caroline questions with a sad look.

"She's not. You go back to your house just in case. I'll call you the minute I find her," Stefan tells Caroline making her nod.

"Well, you can't do this alone," Jermey tells him as Damon arrives.

"He's not. Let's go," Damon tells him with a look that said hurry up.

"You're coming with me?" Stefan asks already knowing the answer.

"It's Rosie," Damon tells him like that answered all questions which it did.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

As Rose was going through books in another room Elena joins her as Rosie seat on the floor.

"Why am I here?" Elena questions making Rosie roll her eyes.

"Why are we here?" Rosie corrects Elena.
"You keep asking me these questions like I'm gonna answer them," Rose says with a smile as she looks at Rosie.

"Why won't you?" Elena questions her.
"That's another one," Rose tells her.

"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 says making Rosie huff again.

"I personally want nothing; I'm just a delivery service," Rose tells her.

"Delivery to who? Elijah?" Elena questions her.
"Two points to the eavesdropper," Rose tells her with an amused smile.

"Who is he? Is he a vampire?" Elena questions her.
"He's one of the vampires, the originals," Rose tells making Rosie look intrigued.

"What do you mean the originals?" Elena questions her.

"Elena use your brain. The Originals plus being kidnapped by vampires. It's obviously the original vampires," Rosie tells her getting annoyed.

"Haven't the Salvatores been teaching you your vampire history?" Rose questions Elena as she smirks at Rosie.

"You know Steffie and Dames?" Rosie questions her with a smile.

"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," Rose says making Rosie laugh.

"Then Damon is the one for you," Rosie tells her making Elena glare as Rose laughs.

"Who are the originals?" Elena questions Rose again.

"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," Rose tells us making me look at her sadly.

"But why me?" Elena questions making me sigh as I look at her and point to me.

"Why us?" Elena questions Rose
"Because you're a Petrova Doppelgänger. You're the key to breaking the curse," Rose tells Elena as she looks at her before looking at Rosie.

"You are the human without a scent," Rose tells me making me tense as I look at her.

"The curse? The sun and the moon curse?" Elena questions Rose.

"Oh, you do know your history," Rose says as she turns back to the books.

"What do you mean I'm the key? The moonstone is what breaks the curse," Elena tells her.

"No, the moonstone is what binds the curse. The sacrifice is what breaks it," Rose says making me look wide-eyed realizing where this was going.

"The sacrifice?" Elena asks wide-eyed.

"The blood of the doppelgänger. You're the doppelgänger. This means, in order to break the curse you're the one who has to die," Rose tells her making Elena look wide-eyed.

Soon enough Trevor arrives and looks amused at the scene in front of him.

"Tell me more," Elena demands of Rose making me glare at her.

"Captivity has made her pushy, eh? What do you want to know doppelicious?" Trevor questions her.

"Who were you running from?" Elena questions him.
"The originals," Trevor tells her

"Yeah, she said that. What does that mean?" Elena questions as I look at her like she was an idiot.

"I told you, Elena. The Originals are the original vampires," I tell her making her glare at me as I smile.

"The first family, the old world. Rose and I pissed them off," Trevor tells her making Rose look at her.

"Mm-hmm," Rose says as she glares at Trevor.

"Correction, I pissed them off, Rose had my back and for over half a millennium, they wanted us dead," Trevor says as I smile at the two seeing how much they cared about each other.

"What did you do?" Elena questions him.
"He made the same mistake countless others did: he trusted Katerina Petrova," Rose says making me look at her.

"Kitty-Kat?" I question making them look at me as I smile.

"The one and only, the first Petrova Doppelgänger," Rose says as I nod at her.

"I helped her escape her fate and now I've, sorry, we've been marked ever since," Trevor says making me look at him sadly.

"Which is why we're not gonna make the same mistake again," Rose tells us making me nod understanding why.

"I get it. I hope you both get free," I tell them making them both look at me confused as I head back towards the couch.

Sitting down on the couch I hear something crunch and pull out a handwritten paper from Bonnie that read: Stefan and Damon are coming for you. -B"

I smile looking at it as I lay my head down on the edge of the couch.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

As I was sitting on the couch Trevor walks in with a scared expression.

"He's here! This was a mistake," Trevor yells with a scared expression.

"No, I told you I would get us out of this. You have to trust me," Rose tells him trying to calm him down.

"No! He wants me dead, Rose!" Trevor yells at her.
He wants them more," Rose tells him as she points to me and Elena

"I can't do this. You give her to him, he'll have mercy on you but I need to get out of here," Trevor tells her

"Hey! What are we?" Rose questions him making Trevor calm down slightly

"We're family, forever," Trevor tells her making me smile at him. They were adorable. Then someone
knocks on the door.

"You're scared," Elena says making Rose glare at her. 

"Yes, Elena please point out the obvious," I tell her glaring at her.

"Stay here with them and don't make a sound," Rose tells Trevor as she leaves to open the door. Elijah opens the door as she arrives.

"Rose-Marie. Is there somewhere we can talk?" Elijah questions her making Rose nod.

"Yes, in here. You have to forgive the house," Rose tells him as she points to the sitting room.

"Oh, no, what's a little dirt? I completely understand. So tell me, what is it that gives you the courage to call me?" Elijah questions her as she seat down.

"I wanted my freedom. I'm tired of running. You in a position to grant me that?" Rose questions him making Elijah nod.

"I have complete authority to grant pardon to you and your little pet. What is his name these days? Trevor. If I so see fit," Elijah tells her.

"Katerina Petrova?" Rose questions making Elijah nod.

"I'm listening," he tells her making Rose nod at him.
"She didn't burn in the church in 1864," Rose tells him as Elijah nods.

"Continue," Elijah tells her.
"She survived," Rose tells him.

"Where is she?" Elijah asks her making Rose look at him confused.

"You don't seem surprised by this," Rose states.

"Oh, when you called and invited me into this armpit of civilization, which is a mere three hours from the town we know as Mystic Falls, I surmised it had everything to do with Katerina. Do you have her in your possession?" Elijah questions her.

"No, but I have better. I have her doppelgänger," Rose tells him making Elijah shake his head.

"That's impossible, her family line ended with her. I know that for a fact," Elijah tells her.

"The facts are wrong," Rose tells him making Elijah get up.

"Well, show her to me," Elijah tells her making Rose nod before pausing.

"Elijah, you are a man of honor, you should be trusted but I want to hear you say it again," Rose tells him.

"You have my word that I will pardon you," Elijah tells her as he says his words carefully.

"One more thing," Rose tells him making Elijah nod.
"I found her. The girl without a scent," Rose tells Elijah making him lose his mask for a second before it comes back and he nods.

"Follow me," Rose tells him as he follows her. They arrive at the main room.

Elena and Rosie hear them. Elena look up scared as Rosie just tried to go back to sleep.

Elijah looks at Elena surprised. He rushes over to her and looks at her and smells her neck.

"Human. It's impossible. Hello there," Elijah says as he smiles at Elena. He then looks past her and looks at the brunette with light brown eyes.

He speeds over to her and looks at her trying to intimidate her but Rosie just raises an eyebrow at him.

"We have a long journey ahead of us. We should be going," Elijah says as he helps Rosie up and walks over to Elena. Elena looks at Rose.

"Please, don't let him take me," Elena begs making Rose look away from her.

"One last piece of business and we're done," Elijah says as he looks toward Rosie and leans down to whisper in her ear.

"Close your eyes and don't listen," he tells her making Rosie look at him confused before nodding and turning around and putting her hands over her ears. Elijah then moved over towards Trevor.

"I've waited so long for this day, Elijah. I'm truly, very sorry," Trevor says as he doesn't look at Elijah.

"Oh no, your apology's not necessary," Elijah tells him as she circles him.

"Yes, yes it is. You trusted me with Katerina and I failed you," Trevor says as he shakes with fear.

"Oh yes, you are the guilty one, and Rose aided you because she was loyal to you and that now I honor. Where was your loyalty?" Elijah questions him.

"I beg your forgiveness," Trevor says as he finally looks up at Elijah.

"So granted," Elijah tells him making Trevor smile but then Elijah smacks Trevor's head clean off his body. Rose cries in pain. As Elena stood in shock and Rosie tense for a second hearing the scream but didn't turn back around.

"You...!" Rose yells on her knees looking at Trevor's dead body.

"Don't, Rose, now that you are free," Elijah tells her as he looks at Elena and Rosie.

"Come," Elijah says as he grabs Rosie's hand making her look at him.

"No, what about the moonstone?" Elena questions making Rosie look at her wide-eyed.

"What do you know about the moonstone?" Elijah questions her as he looks at Rosie who wouldn't meet his eyes.

"I know that you need it and I know where it is," Elena tells him as Elijah looks at her.

"Yes?" Elijah questions her.
"I can help you get it," Elena tells him making Rosie sigh.

"Tell me where it is," Elijah says as he tries to compel her.

"It doesn't work that way," Elena tells him as she shakes her head.

"Are you negotiating with me?" Elijah questions as he looks at Rose.

"It's the first I've heard of it," Rose tells him as Elijah looks back at Elena. He tries to compel Elena but it doesn't work. He looks at her necklace.

"What is this vervain doing around your neck?" Elijah questions as he goes to pull the necklace over her neck but Rosie gets in between them.

"Wait!" Rosie yells as she takes her necklace off and Elijah eyes it. He didn't know how she got that necklace but she knew who it was from and throws it on the ground.

"Tell me where the moonstone is," Elijah compels Rosie.

"In the tomb, underneath the church ruins," Rosie tells him in a monotone voice.

"What is it doing there?" Elijah questions her confused.

"It's with Kitty-Kat," Rosie tells him in a monotone voice making Elijah nod.

"Interesting," Elijah tells her as they hear breaking glass from upstairs.

"What is that?" Elijah questions as he looks at Rose.
"I don't know," Rose tells him.

"Who else is in this house?" Elijah questions her again.
"I don't know," Rose tells him more sternly.

Elijah grabs Elena harshly as he takes Rosie's hand softly and they go into another part of the house. Stefan and Damon are moving around them with their super speed. Elijah throws Elena in Rose's arms as he keeps Rosie.

"Rose," Elijah says in a dangerous tone.
"I don't know who it is," Rose tells him.

"Up here," Stefan says making Rosie sigh in relief knowing it was him and Damon. Elijah goes up the stairs with his super speed.

"Down here," Damon says as Elijah receives in stake in his hand. He removes it and looks downstairs to see Rosie Elena and Rose have disappeared.

Elena is with Stefan and Rose as Stefan holds Rosie close to him making Rosie sigh in relief.

"Excuse me. To whom it may concern, you're making a great mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't. Do you hear that?" Elijah says as he breaks a wooden coat rack into a stake.

"I repeat, you cannot beat me. So I want the girl, I'm gonna count to three, or heads will roll. Do we understand each other?" Elijah questions as Elena appears at the top of the stairs.

"I'll come with you, just please don't my friends, they just wanted to help me out," Elena says as Elijah goes up the stairs with his super speed. He has the stake in his hand.

"Where's Rosie? What game are you playing with me?" Elijah questions Elena as she throws the vervain bomb in his face. It explodes.

His skin burns but he heals immediately. He goes toward Elena but Stefan arrives and shoots him with the compressed air weapon. It doesn't hurt him so Stefan throws the weapon and rushes at Elijah and tackles him.

They fall down the stairs. Elijah gets up immediately but Stefan stays on the floor. He goes toward Stefan but Damon appears and stakes Elijah. He pushes him against the door. Elijah is dead and is pinned to the door with the stake. Rose sees it and leaves. Damon tries to follow her.

"Just let her go," Elena tells him as Rosie comes down the stairs. Rosie smiles as she hugs Damon making him smile hugging her tightly.

When they let go Rosie sees a stressed Stefan looking at her and she smiles running into his arms. Stefan sighs in relief feeling her in his arms.

"Are you hurt? Are you okay?" Stefan asks Rosie making her shake her head at him.

"I'm okay just ready to take a shower," Rosie tells him making Stefan smile at her as he wraps an arm around her waist and they start walking out the door with Damon beside Rosie and Elena behind them.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Getting to the Forbes house Damon looks behind him to see Rosie asleep on Stefan's shoulder.

"We are here. You need to wake her up before Blondie runs out here," Damon says making Stefan nod as he shakes Rosie.

She shakes her head as she snuggled closer to Stefan.
"Rosie you are home. Caroline's waiting on you," Stefan tells her as he rubs her back.

"Care!" Rosie yells as she gets up and starts running towards the house making the brothers laugh at her. Throwing the door open Rosie ran inside.

"Caroline!" Rosie yells upstairs as Caroline runs downstairs.

"Rosalie!" Caroline yells as she vamps speeds downstairs. Rosie jumps in her arms as Caroline holds her tight both sisters crying as they hold each other close.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

After sobbing with Caroline Rosie went upstairs to take a shower as she was walking back to her room she smiles seeing Stefan seating on her bed.

"Hey Steffie," Rosie says making Stefan smile at her as he holds her necklace up.

"Made sure to grab it before you left," Stefan tells her making Rosie smile as she goes to grab Stefan pulls it back making Rosie look at him confused.

"I need to tell you something Rosie," Stefan tells her making Rosie nod although confused.

"I love you Rosie and I'm sorry it took me so long to realize and I wish we could be together but I don't deserve you. You deserve better," Stefan tells her as Rosie's eyes begin to fill with tears

Stefan then leans down and kisses Rosie's lips softly before pulling away.

"I wish you could remember this but you can't," Stefan tells her as he compels her and then disappears leaving Rosie confused.

"Hey is Stefan here?" Caroline asks Rosie as she walks into the room.

"No why?" Rosie asks confused as Caroline looks confused before rolling her eyes and pulling Rosie to lay down beside her as they start watching movies.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Meanwhile, with Stefan, he was fast asleep but his eyes kept moving like he was dreaming but it wasn't dreams it was memories.

Stefan was in 1920 in Chicago. He was sitting beside a man as they drank.

"They're jealous. Your family wants you dead because they can never be what you are," Stefan tells the man.

"What? An abomination?" The man questions as he takes a sip of his drink.

"No. A king," Stefan tells him making the man smile as Stefan laughs.

"Look at us. Two sad orphans," The man tells him making Stefan laugh.

The memory then changes to Stefan he was looking around when the same man appears in front of him again.

"Stefan. I'm sorry, but the fun has to end here," The man tells him making Stefan look confused.

"What are you talking about?" Stefan asks him making the man look into his eyes compelling him.

"You will forget both Rebekah and me. You will forget about the prophecy but if you find our soulmate you will protect her with everything you have. Make sure you give her the necklace. It will protect her," The man tells him as Stefan looks wide-eyed.

"Thank you. I had forgotten what it was like to have a brother," the man tells him as he disappears leaving a gold heart necklace in his hand making Stefan confused before pocketing it.

Stefan gasps as she seats up looking wide-eyed.
"I remember. I remember everything," Stefan says still not believing what he just saw.

Authors Note: OMG  he remembers now let me explain!

Rosie can be compelled into she unleashes her powers.

Stefan's compulsion broke when he kissed Rosie and the memories came back in his dreams.
