[ From afar, Elena spots her, the picture of Katherine circa when Elena doesn't remember her. What is going on? Of all things for Katherine to be sporting, of all fashions, she wouldn't go so vintage. She remembers Euphie telling her about the girl who looks exactly like her.
Tessa.
Katherine's MO involves pretending to be Elena.
It's different being in The City. She doesn't compare herself to her ancestor. She doesn't take extra effort not to be like her. If she admits it, Elena has an easier time here. She doesn't have to worry which of her friends' lives will be threatened left - thanks to her. She doesn't have to look over her shoulder. The danger that she worries about involves sometimes silly curses. Meeting complete strangers who haven't hacked her into pieces yet.
For the first time in a long time, Elena can breathe. She's not the girl who lost her parents or the girl torn between two Salvatore's (something she isn't even sure of)... She can be Elena Gilbert.
Which is why seeing this Tessa woman is unsettling to say the least.
Elena gets into line for a soft pretzel, well aware that her doppelganger of sorts is here. ]
