If someone asked Katherine what it was like, she'd say it was like looking in a mirror.

As she stood their, her eyes were wide. But not with fear, but with amazement.

The person who stood in front of her, looked exactly like her.

If it wasn't for this persons ripped jeans and white tank top, where as she was wearing black jeans and a black top with a jean jacket, she would of thought she was looking in a mirror.

But the person in front of her wasn't just any person.

She was her twin.

"W-what.. W-who... How...?" The girl who she presumed was Elena stammered.

"Erm.. I'm Katherine." Katherine said holding out her hand as nervous as ever, "I'm your sister."

How was is this possible? Mom had never said anything.. What was going on? Was the thoughts going through Elena's mind.

Katherine had her hand out in front of Elena. She knew she shops shake it, after all her mum had always taught her that manners mattered and first impressions count.

But she was too shook.

When Katherine realised she wasn't going to shake her hand, she put it down and took a step back, propably embarrassed.

It was then when she noticed Katherine was not alone.

Stefan stood I front of Katherine almost protectively. Elena felt a pang of jealousy go through her body.

"This is Katherine." Stefan said.

"I know that." Elena snapped. She was letting her jealousy get the better of her.

She sighed. "I'm sorry Stefan. I'm just confused." Elena said guilt in her eyes.

"No I'm sorry. I shouldn't of took her here like this. I should of asked first but I had to help." Stefan said.

Elena was confused. How did Stefan know Katherine and more importantly how did Elena not know she had a twin sister?

"I don't understand." Elena moaned.

Stefan explained how Stefan had met Katherine. He explained everything.

Well almost everything.

She was about to aske her last question but then she realised that Stefan and Katherine were still standing on ten door step and it was freezing outside.

She ushered them in.

They sat down at the table in the kitchen while Elena made cups of teas.

"But I don't understand how I didn't know that I had a twin sister." Elena said to Stefan.

"I can't answer that question." Stefan said looking at Katherine.

Katherine gulped.

She hated attention and now all of it was on her.

Elena brand round the hot cups of tea and sat down opposit Katherine. Elena looked at her as if she was something at a museum.

Katherine didn't think Elena liked her very much. Her eyes were hostile and Katherine felt like she didn't belong their.

Hell, she didn't belong their.

"Well, I've always known I've had a twin, I just didn't know where to look." Katherine sighed and told the restr of the story. She told them about her abusive father, her little brother Jer - who was also Elena's little brother- , she told them about her discovery of the photo after her father had died but left out the vampire part.

When she had finished, Stefan squeezed her hand.

Elena's eyes darted to Katherine's and Stefan's entwined hands and then to Katherine, shooting daggers at her.

Katherine pulled away from Stefan. Maybe Stefan was her boyfriend and that's why she didn't seem to like her because of how friendly, he was acting towards her.

She stole a glance at Stefan from the corner of her eye. He looked hurt and she felt bad. But if she was going to build a home her, than she'd have to get on her sisters good side.

Elena's eyes softened a little. "I'm sorry you had to go through that alone."

Katherine smiled sadly, "He's gone now. The past is the past."

"Mums not home but I'm sure she'll want to meet you. How about you sleep in the guest room?" Elena asked.

"I'd like that."

"Well, I'd better be going ad leave you two girls alone." Stefan smiled sweetly.

"You don't have to leave. Your more than welcome to stay." Elena said.

"No really. My dads expecting me."

"Let me walk you to the door then." Elena insisted. Stefan agreed and nodded goodbye to Katherine.

~

When she had said goodbye to Stefan he had kissed her on the cheek. Elena smiled at the memory.

She had then went back to late brine blushing and showed her to the guest room.

And now she was laying in her bed. She knew she should be thinking about the whole secret dad, sister, brother thing, but thoughts of Stefan invaded her mind.

Elena felt better now add was certain that katheirne did not find Stefan attractive as she had pulled her hand away form him earlier and that Stefan had feelings only for her because of the kiss she had gave him.

She was going to wait up for her mum but then remembered that she had a late shift at the hospital and when her mum did come back, she'd propably be too tiered.

I'll speak to her tommorow, Elena thought as she closed her eyes.

~

Stefan hated lying to Elena but he had to.

What would she think of he had told her he was going to Caroline's? She would have got the wrong idea and Stefan really liked Elena and didn't want to mess anything wrong.

He descide that he should go back to Caroline's house to apologise and see if they could still be friends.

It was late, just gone twelve and Stefan knew that his father would be angry and demand why Stefan came home late, but that didn't matter now.

He was nearly their now and he wondered if he had made the wrong decision. After all Caroline would be angry and wouldn't it be better to give her time to cool of?

No, it wouldn't. He should go straight away so she'd see how much he did care for. Like a brother cares for a sister.

Nothing more.

"What happened? How did we get here?" a sleepy Caroline says.

Damon had had a good time tonight. He hadn't got drunk but Caroline had, so he's taken her home.

She'd just woken up when Damon was putting her in her bed.

"You drank a bit too much, darling, so I took you home." Damon smiled.

"Darling... I like that." Caroline said pleased.

"I think it's time you go to sleep."

"Kay."

And with that she closed her eyes.

Knock. Knock.

Caroline's eyes snapped open. "I'll get it." Damon murmured, windering who could be knocking this late at night.

Damon knew it wasn't Caroline's mum because she'd told him as the sheriff she often worked late nights. Besides why would she knich when she had her own key?

Damon opened the door to find no other than his brother.

Stefan.
