At first sight

EMMY HUFFED AS THE CARRIAGE TROTTED ALONG with her in it. She had been with Katherine and Emily about a year now, one absolutely miserable year with the most devious woman she had met in her life. A devious woman she was forced to pretend was her twin sister.

In looks, they were identical but, in personality, they couldn't be anymore different.

"Chin up, Angel. A frown on a lady is very unbecoming." Katherine spoke, making her doppelgänger narrow her eyes.

The Pierce woman always held a condescending tone, especially when talking to Emiliya. The young girl always stayed silent when around the older vampire, it was best that way. There were times where Emily was quite nice to her, and those were the only moments of joy she had known since she was practically kidnapped.

"Yes, m'lady." Emmy replied with the slight bow of her head.

The Pierce woman grinned evilly and looked out the window, slightly chuckling to herself.

It took Emiliya a lot of effort to not become fully enraged at the other womans behavior. She had taken everything from her, and disguised it as a favor, when in reality, it was anything but. Emmy had waited a year to get away from her but, under the watchful eyes of both Katherine and Emily, it felt practically impossible.

"Hmph, so, how much farther until we reach this... Lockwood plantation." The eldest in the carriage asked as they began to slow slightly.

"Won't be long now, we've just entered the town called Mystic Falls." Emily answered quickly, like she usually did when Katherine inquired things.

"Good." Katherine let out a sigh. "This ride is becoming painfully boring."

"I find the countryside quite nice." Emmy noted with a small smile.

"I didn't ask your opinion, Emiliya." The elder doppelgänger replied. Emmy felt like crying in that moment, having suffered this emotional abuse for far too long but, like something sent from heaven, the carriage came to a halt distracting her from that.

The teen girl got up peeked out of the window, looking further up on the road. It was that moment in which she seen practically the most beautiful man she had ever laid eyes on in her life. He glanced her way, having been feeling watched, and the two engaged in the most intense eye contact Emmy had ever felt in her life.

Until Katherine yanked her back into her seat.

"What is going on now?" She questioned, referring to the stop they had made.

"Looks like a young man is having problems with his carriage." Emily answered as she peaked out the window.

Emiliya pushed the other two women out of her mind as she closed her eyes and pictured the man she had set her eyes on. She wondered if she was delusional, or he felt the same pang in his heart she had in her own. Maybe she was imagining things but, something deep down was telling her that this was absolutely meant to be.

"At this rate, we won't arrive until sundown. What does it matter if—" Emmy's eyes opened as she heard Katherine cease to whine, she followed the woman's eye sight, and it was pointed directly at the boy she had set her eyes on a few minutes before.

Making the girl sick to her stomach.

"Hm... who is that? He's so handsome." Katherine spoke, confirming all her doppelgängers fears. If she didn't try to stop it, this man would fall victim to Katherine Pierce just like she had.

How would she get the people of Mystic Falls to realize this girl was a cold hearted monster without them believing the same of her?

"What do you girls say? Think that boys family will take in two poor orphan girls from Atlanta?" The woman asked mischievously as their carriage began to move forward, letting out a bone chilling laugh.

Emiliya scooted forward and looked out the window in despair, making eye contact with the man, the scene not going unnoticed by Katherine.

"So, we will not be staying at this Lockwood mansion? It is unusual for you to change your mind." Emmy spoke to her elder doppelgänger, sitting back in her seat.

"Why? Did you have any interest in staying with the Lockwoods, Angel?" Katherine asked with an eyebrow raised highly, inspecting the other girls posture and body language.

"It is just very unusual for you to switch plans and... if I may, the Lockwoods from what we have learned are a very powerful family in town, I think it would serve us better to stay there rather than stay with a boy you know nothing about simply because he is pretty." Emiliya explained, wanting to do anything she could to sway the other woman away from all of this.

Emily and Katherine exchanged looks, both of them grinning in a way that made Emmy clear her throat and shift around uncomfortably.

"I do not know if you have not noticed yet, Emiliya but, I am the word here. What I want goes, and what I say goes. If I want to change a plan of my own creation, I will, and I will not have an ungrateful little brat question it, are we clear on that?" The elder Pierce woman spat angrily, snarling slightly.

Emmy no longer feared the likes of Katherine Pierce but, she accepted that the woman was much more powerful than she was. This is why she bit her tongue so fiercely, and never spoke too much out of line. She hoped to one day be free of Katherine, and she couldn't do that being dead.

"Yes, Katherine. I apologize for stepping out of line." Emiliya nodded and looked out of the window, watching as the leaves and the trees pass her by.

"Good." The Pierce womans shoulders straightened, a smile appearing on her face once again.

Emmy stared at everything passing her by, and she sweared that day, no matter what, she would get away from Katherine Pierce.
