A bright but cautious pair of green eyes that belonged to Emily Gilbert slowly sneaked open after a couple of hours of sleeping. The human doppelganger slowly turned her body and looked at the alarm clock on Stefan's bedside table and saw that it was just turning five in the morning. Thank God I didn't oversleep, Emily praised herself as she needed to make a clean escape without her boyfriend, sister, or her sister's boyfriend catching her when she was going to do something that they would definitely not like.
Emily slowly turned her body onto her back so she was flat on the comfortable king sized bed as she began her plan before she softly lifted up her boyfriend's arm that was settled lowly on her waist. The Gilbert girl felt herself flinch every single time that she heard Stefan make some type of noise or move before she let out a silent sigh of relief after she quickly slipped out of the bed and noticed Stefan cuddled up to her pillow thinking it was her.
Emily, any other time, would take the time to coo over her cute boyfriend or even take a picture for blackmail later on but the human girl knew that she needed to hurry up before someone woke up since she was staying in a house full vampires with extremely good hearing. So, instead of watching her usually stressed out boyfriend peacefully sleep, Emily tip-toed out of Stefan's bedroom as quietly as she could before she walked across the hallway to her bedroom.
The Gilbert girl didn't even bother closing the door behind her as she knew that she needed to be fast. Emily only hurriedly walked to her closet and pulled out a simple pair of black leggings, a grey sweater, and her signature leather jacket. The human doppelganger didn't really care what she looked like at the moment, so she quickly slipped on her comfortable outfit along with a pair of Nike running shoes and grabbed her black purse that she had stashed Darina's journal in before she fast walked right out of her bedroom.
Emily carefully tip-toed as best as she could in her old sneakers while she walked down the staircase of the boarding house before she headed towards her destination in the basement. The Gilbert girl couldn't help but release a sigh of relief once she was standing in front of the steel door to the cell with no one hearing her. Half way done with my mission, Emily thought to herself before she slowly opened the heavy door of the cell and made her way inside to get the answers and help that she needed.
The human doppelganger couldn't help but lose her breath, though, as soon as her green eyes went to the small cot in the cell and saw Elijah's temporarily dead body. Emily had, sadly, seen many dead vampires in her day like Vicki and Lexi but, for some reason, seeing Elijah like that gave Emily an uneasy chill down her spine. The Gilbert girl figured it had something to do with her doppelganger connection with the people in Darina's past but she didn't have time to think about it right now.
Instead, Emily cautiously and slowly walked up to Elijah's temporarily dead body on the cot. The Gilbert girl stared down at the original's body for a few seconds with a frown playing on her lips before she shook herself out of her frozen state. Emily then focused her green eyes solely onto the dagger in Elijah's chest before she wrapped her hands around the handle and pulled as hard as she could.
