As you will be able to tell this is set when Katherine is still in the tomb, I don't know exactly what is going on I just had a random thought so I wrote it down. Sorry if there's a lot of mistakes but I wrote this on my phone last night and had to type it up on the computer.

I couldn't help but fall for her, I mean come on she was so amazing, we look actually the same but she couldn't be any more different from me. She had changed me so much in the past couple of weeks and years I was alone before her, running for 500 years kind of that turned me into a bitch , but she still gave me another chance.

X-

I could feel her presence before I heard her, I'd been stuck in this tomb for days, I didn't really know how many but I was starving, my whole body was aching. I was grateful she was alone, I hated Stefan and Damon for loving her even though it was my fault. She smelt so good but I couldn't hurt her, that's why when she accidentally tripped over the imaginary line keeping me in here, I just tried to catch her and pushed her lightly back over the line. She looked shocked.

'Why didn't you just … You must be hungry.'

' I might as well be honest, I am Elena, I'm starving and in pain but I could never hurt you, I couldn't forgive myself.'

'Wow, so what was that at the ball?'

'I didn't hurt you Stefan and Damon did.'

'Well what about before and all the threats?'

'When have I hurt or threatened you, Elena? Really ? '

'Well...But...i don't know'

'See, I'll never hurt you, I wanted to protect you and that meant from Stefan and Damon too.'

' Why are you being so honest, Katherine?'

'I've had a lot of time to think and the bitchy act isn't getting me anywhere so I'm telling you the truth about everything and I wouldn't mind you throwing me that blood bag you're hiding under your coat.'

'Okay, fine here. Now start with the talking, tell me everything.' She threw the bag over the line and I tried my hardest to drink it slowly, not wanting her to be disgusted.

'I was born in 1475, it's kind of a long story.' I smiled at her and she smiled back sitting down just outside the line.

'I have time.'

' My daughter was beautiful, I only got a glance at her when they were taking her away from me but her eyes shone and she looked so much like my mother . Even after I turned into a vampire, I couldn't find Annabel and I didn't want Klaus to know about her so I stopped looking, it wa- is the most painful thing I have been through, I loved her. One of the three people I have truly loved in my life. He killed everyone else , anyone I'd ever loved hearts ripped out because of me and I wasn't going to let him kill the one good thing that I was truly proud of, I could tell from the glance of her that she would be good and she had a strong feeling of pure innocence .' I was stuck in this freaking tomb and it was cold , damp and smelly yet, she still came and gave me blood. I had to tell her everything, she had the right to know. She still looked stunned that I was actually telling her what she had asked.

'How did you meet Klaus? I mean you did meet him when you were human , right?'

'Yes Elena, in1491 about six months after I gave birth to Annabel and had fully recovered from a illness, my father sent me from Bulgaria to England and I was alone, I hated my father and I longed to see my daughter. I met Elijah, he was sweet and he tuck care of me, waiting for his brother to return from a trip to ...I can't remember where to... It was another six months that me and Elijah sent together. I was very like you after your parents died , Elena, broken and lost but still kind hearted and generous. Before that I had been happy and good and I was innocent until... I was fifteen, I didn't mean for it to happen but I thought I loved William. I was still good and Elijah and I were only friends and then Klaus came and I didn't understand at first but I could easily read people and I could tell Klaus was planning something and then Elijah warned me.' I sighed this was a long story and I was making it as short as possible but there was a lot that needed to be said.

' It was hard to run and I was human , I didn't get far, Trevor brought me to a house and Rose was furious, I heard everything and I couldn't run from this so I tried to kill myself, I found a knife and it nearly worked but Rose gave me her blood to make it heal. It was easy then, and I died that time, I hung myself before she could save me. Rose was still furious because she knew that we all still had to run and she tried to really kill me, well that didn't happen.' I laughed trying to lighten the mood, Elena just smiled slightly at me

'Shortly after becoming a vampire I went home, to Bulgaria and then I found them, all killed, because I ran , because I betrayed Klaus and he wanted revenge. The thing that I thanked my father for was sending Annabel away, Klaus never even knew she was born and I was glad. She obviously had children and I was happy for that too, that she lived. It still hurt me and I was over come with guilt from the death of my family , I stayed there and tried to change everything but I just ended up travelling everywhere looking for something I knew I wouldn't find but I was lonely Elena , I didn't have any contact with humans or vampires and I got bored and the guilt and sadness was overtaking me. So I switched it off.'

She is still watching me but is a bit less shocked , more curious. 'The years went by and I can't really remember it, apart from every single kill.' I cringe at the thought, I hated that me. ' That's when I meet Damon and Stefan, they were so handsome and they both loved me , I was bored and playing with them was fun, but I know it was horrible and it makes me sick now. I left them because I was bored and I didn't really love either of them but I couldn't just leave ;they wouldn't let me so I had to die, I thought that it would hurt and then they would get over it and be brothers again, better than rejection. I was wrong.'

' Katherine...' She saw the tear in my eye before I could wipe it away.

' It's okay , Elena let me finish' she just nodded.

'I tracked down a distant descendent of Annabel, it was the only trace of my humanity left. The thing that reminded me my daughter had survived and my human self that gave birth to her but I had shut my feelings out for all those years, I killed hundreds of people, done horrible things and I didn't care, the vampire part of me had taken over completely and I liked the things I did to humans...'

Elena wasn't looking at me but she was sat on the floor just outside the tomb staring at a very uninteresting brick in the wall. ' I couldn't believe that Isabelle had given you up .The first time I saw you was the night you were born, you were beautiful Elena and you had such an innocence about you. You gave off the same goodness as my daughter I wanted to take you, I loved you right there but I knew your parents, the Gilberts would look after you and you would be happy so I left.' I sighed .

' It changed me though, it wasn't so easy to just switch my emotions off , it hurt Elena all the guilt ,all the pain ; the emotions that I just couldn't bear from all those years came flooding in so I had to stay and watch you, my humanity , my salvation.'

Tears were falling from my eyes freely now and I didn't realise she had moved until I felt her warm hand hold mine , and the tears stopped. I had started this story, my story, so I had to finish.

' I watched you grow up, you were happy, and you still had all that innocence and you never judged anyone or were purposely mean.' ' You were the person I wanted ...to be ...'

I tuck a long pause, checking Elena expression , she was still holding my hand and she looked at me now encouraging me to carry on .

' I was hunting in the forest that day when I heard the crash of the bridge' Elena's look suddenly turned confused and then sad. ' I ran fast and I saw the car hit the water, then I heard you scream , your mum's neck was already broken when I swan into the car and your dad was losing blood but he insisted that I helped you first so I did. It was too late for him by the time I pulled you out and went back under.' We were both crying and her head was resting on my shoulder.

'B..b...but Stefan lied, he said that was him...' I stroked her hair she knew I was telling the truth and that made me feel so good inside .

' Elena sweetie, I'm so sorry, let me finish the story.' She just nodded .

' Stefan turned into a monster after he died, he was kind of a celebrity in the vampire world , a legend. He wiped out entire villages and towns.' ' He kind of disappeared for a while after he started to get followed and ...' ' It hurt me to see you with him but I really thought he had changed and loved you but sweetie, I think he was just playing you, trying to get revenge on me, I'm so sorry. ' Her tears got worse and I pulled her tighter into a hug.

She dried her tears and looked up at me , her eyes almost torture me from the intense draw. ' I know what I'm going to say next is going to sound kind of weird but know that our family relation is really distant, you only have a slight Petova blood relation and that I just told you everything about me and I've never done that before.' 'I ...I'm-'

'Katrina' she whispered . The use of my real name breaks me and I can't help but kiss her and to my surprise she kisses back.
