She kisses Damon, and she comes back to life.
She feels regret, and guilt, and lust, and pain, and passion, and…
She doesn't feel so numb anymore.
Sometimes when she does, she pictures Stefan.
She closes her eyes and imagines bright emerald eyes, soft brown hair and a beautiful smile that turns her insides to mush.
Sometimes she pictures Damon.
She opens her eyes and sees deep pools of azure, silky jet black hair and a gorgeous smirk that builds her up and eats away at her at the same time.
She wonders how it got this far. She wonders when she became Katherine.
Maybe she always had been.
