Hi everybody! This story is a little bit different from what I usually write. Normally I base my stories off of flashbacks, but I decided to go in a different direction.

This fanfiction is what I think happened after the season finale. I really would love to hear reviews to see how I'm doing. I love criticism. Enjoy!

………………………………………………………………………

"Hello John. Goodbye John." Katherine said with a voice void of emotion and a cruel smirk before she took a kitchen knife and brutally stabbed him in the chest.

The moment Katherine heard his heart come to a stop; she roughly shoved him to the ground. Katherine didn't even bother to pull the knife out of his chest. What was the point? He was already dead. Plus, she always loved to leave a dramatic impression. Maybe that little bitch Elena would find him. Finding her father's body might give her a heart attack and would save her the trouble of killing her herself.

Just as she finished that thought, she heard the front door slam and a "Jeremy? Jeremy you up?"

"Speak of the Devil." Katherine muttered. "Now to get your attention."

Katherine looked around and spotted a large cooking pot next to where John's fingers lay on the cutting board. In the hallway, Katherine could hear the girl pause, and then hesitantly make her way through the hallway and into the kitchen. Before the girl could reach the Kitchen, Katherine quickly bent over John's still body and yanked the knife out.

Elena's POV

"Jeremy? Jeremy you up?" Elena asked once she was safely within her house. When she heard no response, she began to make her way in the direction of her living room. That was until she heard the banging of a pot.

"What the Hell?" Elena whispered with a frown. If that was Jeremy or Jenna, then surely they would have answered her call. That immediately made her worry. What if one of them had fallen? Or what if someone unwanted was in the house? They could be a threat to her and her family. She hoped to God that it wasn't another vampire here to attack her or worse, her family.

When the last thought entered her mind, Damon immediately popped into her head. Pesky, unwanted, vampires. It's probably Damon she reassured herself with a breathy laugh and small smile as she made her way to the kitchen.

When Elena made her way to the kitchen and slowly entered, the first thing she noticed was a pool of blood that surrounded the lifeless body of her father.

"Oh my God." She whispered in despair.

As she began to stand up to grab the phone to call 911, she noticed a set of shapely legs clad in jeans dangling off the edge of one of the counters. As her eyes traveled up the body of the intruder, she found herself looking into the face of her twin.

Katherine's POV

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Miss. Elena. The only other woman besides moi to ensnare the hearts of the infamous Salvatore brothers." Katherine taunted as she examined the blood covered kitchen knife that she used to kill the dead man on the floor beneath her feet.

She looked at the wide eyed Elena before she brought the knife up to her lips and coated her tongue with the blood from one of the sides of the blade. Elena blanched to Katherine's delight.

"So Elena," Katherine began to ask in a chit-chat voice, with a partially curious, partially faux chirpy tone. "How did you manage to do it?" Elena gave her a puzzled look before Katherine continued. "I know you turned them on with your looks. After all, you look just like me…" she said arrogantly, "but there's something else about you that must have them hooked. Is it the sex? Your are doing both of them right? It would definitely explain why you would have Damon so besotted. He always was such a horn dog. Could never get enough of me…." Its was almost as if Katherine was talking to herself while in mid thought instead of actually talking to Elena.

As if she had snapped out of a trance, Katherine looked Elena directly in the eyes. "How did u manage to keep Stefan's attention? His sexual drive never was as powerful as Damon's so its not sex… Unless… there's something about you. Your personality that seems to draw him. But what...?" Katherine studied Elena for about a minute before shaking her head. "Never mind. It doesn't matter." She said before gracefully jumping off the counter.

Katherine slowly sauntered up to Elena and began to circle her. "My God, your mother wasn't kidding. We are exactly the same. Same height, same hair, same skin tone, same… face. I wonder… Elena? Do you have a birth mark on the inside of your left thigh? Shaped like a heart?" Elena's eyes widened in shock. So did Katherine's, except her expression was one that was a mixture of both confusion and wonder.

"It's like we are twins… except born in different time periods… unbelievable…" She shook her head as if to shake the thought away. "Anyway Elena, I'm so glad we finally have met. I so dearly wanted to meet you before I killed you. I was hoping that by finding your father dead and mutilated on the floor, that it would give you a heart attack or drive you into insanity, but I suppose we can't always have what we want. Although in my case, I normally do. Its really too bad I have to kill you. It would have been fun to have someone who looks just like me to control and do what I want. You could have been the sister I never wanted, or never had… Oh well." She said in a happy little voice.

Elena's eyes widened in horror before she asked, "You are so incredibly insane. Why would you want to kill me? I mean I know your nothing but a sadistic, crazy, bitch, but what kind of threat am I to you? Your obviously more powerful because you're a vampire, but what are you going to accomplish by killing me?"

For a split second, Katherine's eyes narrowed in anger before she smiled. A smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "Dear Elena, I quite sane. Very sane in fact. Its you who is insane for insulting a vampire after threatening to kill you. And yes, I suppose in your eyes I am a "Sadistic, crazy, bitch," she stated with air quotes. "But your wrong when you say that you pose not threat to me. You have something that I want back. Two very charming men who both are vying for your attention. Something that they used to do for me. Something that I want to continue. Do you follow Elena? Can your little human mind process what I'm saying?"

Elena began to feel more courage because she stood up strait and looked Katherine square in the eyes. "Just because I'm human, doesn't mean that I'm stupid. You have had almost 145 years to get them back. But you didn't. You left them hear. Hating each other because you made them both fall in love with you. They died trying to save you, when all the while you really didn't give a damn about either one of them. So tell me Katherine, why did you really come back? Is it jealousy? That I have something that you want? Oh and for the record, I'm not "doing" both brothers. I'm with Stefan, and Damon is nothing but a very dear friend, and I'll be damned before I watch you hurt them again." Elena was panting heavily with rage.

One of Katherine's bows went up while the corners of her beautifully cruel shaped lips turned down in a frown. "Are you done?"

When Elena didn't respond, Katherine smiled and said, "That's what I thought. Even someone as stupid as you should know when to shut up. I'm about over this little game. We met and I enjoyed our little conversation. Now its time for you to say goodbye. Hello Elena. Goodbye Elena." Katherine said with a cruel laugh as if what she said was an inside joke, and lunged at Elena.
