AU where Katherine, Elena and Damon go on a road trip together to find a witch that can reverse the doppleganger’s curse.
(Takes place after 5x07. Stefan never went missing and Bonnie is alive again. Oneshot on keep reading.)
Elena knew this road trip wasn’t a good idea. The whole situation was too much for her to handle. Having her boyfriend and her doppleganger together in a car was already a very riscky thing in normal situations. But that wasn’t a normal situation, and that’s why this road trip started.
After Qetsiyah’s profecy, that damn quote wouldn’t leave Elena’s mind. “Destiny has been trying to get the doppegangers together forever”. She couldn’t be serious, right? That had to be a joke, a really really bad joke. Yeah, but it wasn’t a joke, and Elena found it out some days after the witch died. She started having some dreams, some really weird dreams envolving her beloved doppleganger. In those dreams, she would always see herself happy, with a wide smile on her lips and a sparkle on her eyes she had never seen before. She was standing on a sunflower field, gazing at the sunset. It was cool until this part. But then she would hear helself saying “I thought you wouldn’t come” and she would turn around, just to find Katherine standing behind her, also smiling. Elena would reach for her neck and kiss her lips before melting into Katherine’s arms in a comfortable hug.
She remembered waking up completely shocked and terified with the scene she had just witnessed in her mind, waking up Damon in the process She ended up telling him what the dream was about, and he wasn’t very happy about it. That had been two weeks ago, and until now there weren’t a single day she hadn’t dreamed the exact same thing, over and over again.
Things had been weird between her and Damon since that fatidical day. He wasn’t happy about losing her girlfriend to his ex girlfriend at all. That’s why he came up with this road trip idea. He was convinced he could find a strong witch to undo this profecy, even thought Qetsiyah was the strongest witch he knew and died trying. He wouldn’t give up on the love of his life that easily. He would fight for her with every weapon he had, no matter waht consequences he would have to deal with after that. But deep inside he knew that was an impossible mission. No one could stop destiny. He knew that very well.
The third person on that car was by far the calmer one. It was no surprise to Katherine when the witch said those words. She had always known Elena and her would be together sooner or later, it was just a matter of time. Since the first time she had laid eyes on Elena, she knew that girl was the one. Deep inside her, between the ice cubes that filled her heart since her family’s death, she felt a spark light up when her eyes landed her doppleganger’s smiliar ones. Katherine fell in love with her instantly, and made sure evryone knew that, including Elena herself, who called her crazy when she said they would still be together one day. Katherine didn’t care and waited ‘till the moment love would find their way, and now that it was so close to happening, she couldn’t be happier.
That’s why she invited herself to this road trip with Elena and Damon. Of course, she was sure no one could reverse the profecy, that was not the point. She was there for two main reasons. One, even though Elena was with Damon and she had to respect that until her doppleganger spontaneously decided to be with her, Katherine didn’t trust Damon to take care of the love of her life. She thought she was the only one who could keep Elena really safe. And two, she wouldn’t miss Damon’s face when he finally give up on this stupid reverse profecy ideia for the world. She had to be there to laugh on his face and say “I told you so”.
So there they were. The three of them had been in the car for 6 hours now, and no one had said a single thing. The air was already tense without anyone adding something to it. Elena was thanking the Gods for that when a familiar voice came from the back seat.
“So Elena, I couldn’t help but overhear. You’ve been dreaming about me all summer?”
She rolled her eyes. Too soon.
Katherine continued, the irony slipping through her words as she leaned on the passenger and driver’s seat.
“Well, I’m flattered. Even if this is a very common thing to happen. I’m a lovely person”, she paused. “This might be really stressful, especially when you’re having those dreams lying in bed next to my ex boyfriend.”
She knew Katherine was provoking her. That was her doppleganger’s favorite hobby after all. But she wouldn’t fall in her trap. Elena had been avoiding this subject, especially when Damon was around. She knew how her boyfriend felt about that. She didn’t want to add anymore to his pain.
“I just... don’t wanna talk about that.”
But she was too naive if she thought Katherine would shut just to save Damon’s feelings.
“Oh, I understand. You don’t wanna mention it because you think it’ll just fade away if you don’t talk about it”, her doppleganger said, making her eyes widen. How the fuck did the know that? “And you wanna spare Damon so it’ll be easier for him when the time comes.”
Elena was freaked out. How did Katherine know all those things? She had never talked about that, not even with Caroline or Bonnie, so there was no chance she could have overheared their conversation. So... how? The only explanation was destiny. But she wouldn’t let herself believe in that.
That’s just some witch bullshit.
“That’s cute”, Katherine continued, and Elena thought she couldn’t get any more surprised by the things her doppleganger said. Oh, she was so wrong. “It’s one of the things I love the most about you.”
Her eyes widened again. What the fuck is she doing?! She knew Katherine didn’t care about Damon’s fellings, but did she really need to shove it on his face like this? She just hoped he would stay silent and woudln’t start a fight with the other doppleganger.
Katherine on the other hand was hoping for the contrary. She felt like she would die if that silence and lack of action continued. If Damon snapped, it would be oh so fun for her. And that’s why she kept going.
“But forget it. It won’t fade away”, she said, her tone getting more serious as she thought about what she was saying. She once had hoped her feelings would fade away if she ignored them too. She had a hard time trying to forget them before settling and accepting them. “I would know”, she said, verbalizing her thoughts and surprising herself.
Elena also noticed that but kept silent. There was nothing for her to say anyways. She just hoped her doppleganger’s speech would finally come to an end soon. And, again, destiny was making it’s magic.
“In the end, it’ll be just as said”, Katherine said with a sigh and a smile tracing the corner of her lips. “Just you.. and me.”
They were bad for each other, they both knew that. Their relationship started wrong and was filled with mistakes from both sides. They knew they had to be away from each other, for their own good. But that didn’t mean they couldn’t make some big mistakes together once or twice again.
That’s the reason why Elena had woken up so disturbed that morning. She knew she had fucked up. They had fucked up. Again. And she also knew that slip would cost them another relationship discussion, something she was trying so hard to avoid. She knew she couldn’t resist another of Katherine’s attempt to get back together.
That was the whole problem: Katherine knew they shouldn’t be together but she didn’t care. All she cared about was being with Elena. She didn’t care if that hurted other people’s feelings. She just wanted Elena.
That’s why, after another slip night, Elena got out of the room in a rush, leaving Katherine with a big smile on her lips, knowing that “staying away from each other” situation wouldn’t last long.

It was a beautiful afternoon for a picnic, and that’s exactly what the Gilbert-Pierce couple had on their agenda. Elena had woken up with this idea in mind, and when she saw the perfect weather from outside her window, she quickly texted her girlfriend, letting her know about their newest date. Katherine was out of town, she had to go get some things done back in Bulgaria, but told Elena that she would be in Mystic Falls as fast as she could for their meeting.
The Gilbert girl wasted the majority of her morning making peanut butter sandwiches, waffles and red velvet cupcakes, Katherine’s favourites. I think she’s gonna like it, she thought. She really enjoyed making the elder vampire smile. When all the food was ready, she started packing everything in a basket, not forgetting to grab the red and white checkered tablecloth from the bottom cabinet and some blood bags from the fridge. Her Kath would be thirsty when she got there.
It was almost luch time when Elena got out of the house. The sun was bright up her head, it’s warmth filling the younger vampire’s body with some kind of happiness. Or maybe it was just the thought about having Katherine back in her arms after two whole weeks. She missed her girlfriend so bad.
In a slow pace, she finally got to the spot in the woods she had arranged with Katherine. She placed the basket on the ground near her and took the tablecloth out, stretching it right below a huge tree. With a smile, she tapped her hands as if cleaning them, and sat down on the piece of cloth, bringing the basket with her. She placed it by her side and opened it, taking a waffle out of it. It’s smell was driving her crazy and she just couldn’t wait Katherine anymore for a bite, even though she knew how her girlfriend could be a drama queen when she started to eat without her. I’m gonna finish it before she gets here, she thought. Shrugging, she took a mouthful bite of the waffle and hummed in pleasure while leaning agaisnt the trunk tree, her eyes closed. She did not want to brag, but those waffles were amazing! She cuckled at her own behaviour and shook her head, taking in a deep breath when she swallowed. It was just so incridible being capable of smelling so many different scents at the same time and still know each one of them. She could sense the smell of the high oaks, the sunflowers, the grass, the mixed scents that came with the wind, the food inside her basket, the smell of her own hair and...
A huge smile spread across her features.
She could smell her.
She quickly opened her eyes just to be met with identical ones staring at her. If it was possible, the smile on her lips grew wider as she gazed at the mesmerizing woman standing in front of her. Katherine was not wearing anything fancy, but the leather jacket combined with that pair of black Louboutin... Ugh, she knew the effect it had on her. And that was exactly the reason why there was a shameless smirk on the older woman’s lips since the begining.
Elena half-closed her eyes towards her and again shook her head, still smiling. Slowly, Katherine took the last few steps parting them and sat down gracefully in front of Elena, her body leaning in until their lips were just inches apart, their eyes never breaking it’s connection.
“Did you miss me?” She whispered, her hot and mint scented breath leaving her lips and meeting Elena’s. The younger vampire couldn’t take it anymore. She bit hard on her bottom lip and took one last breath before reaching for the back of Katherine’s neck with her free hand and pulling her in, slamming their lips together in a heated kiss. Their teeth bit on each other’s lips and their tongues entwined in a vicious dance, all the longing they felt being poured on that action. After some good minutes, they eventually broke apart and Katherine went back for her seat, satisfied smiles gracing their swollen lips.
“Yeah, I guess you did miss me.”
Katherine teased, earning a playful slap on her arm. She giggled and reached for Elena’s hand to grab it, but was met with a piece of a bitten waffle. Her perfect eyebrows arched and in less than a second her half-closed judging eyes were staring at her, being followed by The Pout™. Elena widened her eyes and shrunk her mouth in a thin line, trying to restrain a laugh.
“You started eating without me...”
The older vampire’s voice sounded so betrayed combined with her twisted features that she almost wasn’t capable of holding it back anymore, so she closed her eyes and bowed her head, trying to keep her voice steady.
“Oops.”
She failed.
Katherine watched her girlfriend now with amused and loving eyes. She wasn’t serious about the food thing. She happened to joke about that once and as Elena laughed and called her “her big baby”, she kept doing it because she knew this would always be her reaction. And it made her happy to no limits seeing Elena happy. Everytime she smiled, giggled, chuckled, laughed, it was a bliss to her heart. She arched an eyebrow when the younger girl looked back at her and lightly smiled, going back to her drama facade.
“Lucky you I’m a very understanding girlfriend that knows about your endless hungry, Cupcake.” She said with a tone that sounded like she was the best person in the world just for ‘forgiving’ that terrible crime and smiled with the corner of her lips, satisfied with her own goodness.
Again, Elena was not capable of restraining herself and laughed, but little did Katherine know that she also knew that that whole drama was faked only to gain a smile from her lips, and that’s why she found it really convinient to repeat her girlfriend’s words, not only to go with the joke but affirming something she had always known when it was about having Katherine.
Katherine was afraid. Klaus was still after her and a shiver ran through her spine every now and then when she thought about all the horrible things he could - and would - do to her if he found her. She had been running from him for centuries now but that feeling never went away. But that wasn’t what she feared the most. The thought of being killed by him was nothing compared to imagining her dying by his hands. She just couldn’t think about her Elena dying, and the mere thought of it made tears fill her brown orbs. She would do the impossible to protect her beautiful doppleganger, the one she so fastly learned to love.
They were on the run for a couple of weeks now and, thanks to the gods, there were no sight of the hybrid on their path. They would switch cities every two days, never staying more than that in any place. Now, they were settled on a small city in South Italy, more precisally in a not so fancy hotel room. The room was silent as Katherine looked for something to eat in the fridge. She picked up a bottle of water and was making her way to approach the other brunette when she heard Elena’s sobs from the porch.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” Kath ran to the brunette’s side, her hand running up and down Elena’s arm. She furrowed her eyebrows when no answer came from the girl. “Babe, hey… look at me” she whispered this time and Elena finally gave in, turning her head to her. “Why are you crying?”
Katherine simply hated seeing Elena cry. It pained her to no limits, felt like having a hundred stakes going through her heart at once. She raised her hand and whipped away the girl’s tears, rubbing the rosy cheek when she was finished.
“I-I’m just- I’m so scared, Kath” Elena whisperd back, her eyes watering again. She looked so fragile in that moment, so vunerable, that the only thing Katherine wanted to do was hold her ‘till the end of the times. “I can’t stop thinking about the horrible things he will do to us when he finds us and…”
“Shhhh” the brunette placed her thumb over the the baby vampire’s lips and steped closer, glueing their foreheads together, her eyes closed. “He won’t find us, Elena. We are doing fine ‘till now. He doesn’t have any trace that could led him to us.” Again, she furrowed her eyebrows. They were fine, but until when? Yes, she’s been running from him for quite a long time and he never found her, but… What if he does this time? What if she had made a single mistake that could give him a hint about their wherebeings? What if, what if, what if… She was just so tired of all of this. All she wanted was a normal life with that one girl standing by her side. Was that ask too much? She felt her eyes water. Yes, for Katherine Pierce, it was too much, She sighed. “But, if he does, I- I would never let him do anything to hurt you. Never. He won’t touch you, Elena. It’s a promise.”
Elena kept staring at the older woman. Her soft features that looked so much like hers were now hard, as if the vampire was in pain. She turned her body to face her doppleganger, Katherine’s hand never leaving her lips. She is right, Elena tought to herself. They would keep running and protecting each other and… Her eyes widened when she finally got what those words meant. Katherine was planning on- oh, god.
“No.” Elena said firmly, lowering Katherine’s hand from her mouth to her jawline. “No, no, no and no, Katherine!” The elder vampire’s lips curled in a sad smile and her eyes opened to be met by others identical ones filled with worry but yet care and loads and loads of love. “I won’t let you do this. Do you hear me?” Elena placed her hands on the both sides of the woman’s face, forcing her to stare back at her. “I won’t let you trade yourself over me.”
“Elena, if he comes after us, he’ll-”
“I don’t care!” The younger girl yelled, her grip becoming stronger by the second. Her heart was beating frantically inside her chest and she knew the vampire could hear it, but she didn’t care at all. “If he comes, we’ll find a way to beat him. Together.” She bit her lip and closed her eyes for a moment, re-opening them after taking a long and shaky breath. “It’s you and me, remember? You for me and me for you. Forever.”
“I love you, Elena.” Katherine whispered, tapping her thumb over the baby vamp’s chin. “Forever.”
