Chapter one: The bitch is back.

"I love you Stefan" Elena said as she opened the front door to her house. It had been a long day and she was tired. Damon and Stefan had nearly died because of her father, and she didn't think she

would ever be able to forgive him for what he tried to do. And then there was the fact that Bonne had a part in their near-death experience.

She walked further into her house and heard a crash from the kitchen. Curiosity got the best of her as she walked into the kitchen

The site before her nearly gave her a heart attack. There on the ground lay her biological father, John Gilbert. He was unmoving and his fingers lay on the counter, cut off.

"Well hello Elena" came a cold voice from behind her.

Elena slowly turned around and came face to face with an exact replica of herself.

Katherine Pierce stood before her.

Slowly, Katherine moved forward, her eyes raking over Elena's body. She stopped her expression was emotionless.

"We haven't official meet. I'm Katherine"

Elena could say nothing. She was completely frozen. One thought crossing her mind, I am going to die, she thought.

Katherine smirked and walked over to John's still body. "It's a shame he had to die, if only he hadn't tried to kill Stefan and Damon then maybe he could have lived."

That was when Elena spoke. "Since when do you care about what happens to Stefan and Damon?"

"I've always cared sweetheart. I've just been very busy."

All Elena could do was stare. Katherine had been busy? For 145 years? That was her excuse for what she did to Damon and Stefan?

"Anyways," Katherine continued, "I just got done talking to Damon. Only he thought it was you." She smirked deviously. "Poor baby poured his heart out to me, saying thank you because you're the one who really saved him tonight. And you know what happened next?" Katherine strutted back over to Elena. She reach one hand out to stroke her face. "He kissed me. And now…he thinks you kissed him back."

Elena was shocked. Damon her had kissed her? Well Katherine, but still, he had thought it was her.

Because he's in love with you…

The words Isobel had said echoed in her mind. Elena hadn't wanted to believe what Isobel had said was true, but now…

"My My Elena, are you speechless?"

"How could you do that to him?" She asked, ignoring Katherine's previous comment.

"Why do you care?" Katherine countered.

"I… don't." Elena lied.

This human girl thought she could fool her? "You're not a very good liar Elena. I can see right through you. And I bet Stefan can too."

"I'm not lying." She lied again, trying to keep her face indifferent.

"If you want to keep lying to yourself, be my guess, sweetie. But let me tell you something. Stefan's mine." And then Katherine grabbed Elena and took off running into the night.

Damon slowly walked back to the boarding house. He had kissed Elena and she had kissed him back. He still couldn't quite believe that it had happened.

To say he was ecstatic would be an understatement. He smiled as he opened the front door to the house. Stefan was standing in the foyer.

"Where have you been?" Stefan asked.

If only you knew, Damon thought. "Out."

"Damon…"

"Yes brother?"

Stefan paused for a second, debating something, and then he walked over to Damon."I'm glad you're alright" And he wrapped his arms around his older brother.

Damon for one was shocked, but he tentatively wrapped one arm around Stefan.

Stefan finally let go of Damon and went to sit on the couch. Damon stared at him. Now he almost felt guilty to kissing Elena.

Almost.

Stefan looked up at Damon. "I've got to head over to the hospital soon. I'm meeting Elena there. Caroline was in an accident."

"Thanks for filling me in." Damon answered sarcastically. "but," he continued, "before you go see Elena, there's something you should know."

"Okay…"

"I kissed Elena."

Stefan's face immediately saddened. "What do you mean you kissed Elena."

"Well two lips pucker and then.."

Stefan flew forward at Damon, but he was out of the way before Stefan could touch him.

"Come on Stefan."

He glared at Damon. Stefan's eyes were filled with hate.

They continued to stare at each other for several more moments before they were interrupted by the sound of a door opening and closing. They both turned to see Katherine saunter in with Elena thrown carelessly over her shoulder.

"Hello boys."
