Running that all she ever did and that what she needed to be doing but she got tired and went home, just like he said she would. She didn't understand what he meant when he said she would pay or when he said there isn't anywhere she could go that she wouldn't be found. Until that night that is.
"Mother, father" she screamed her voice beaming with excitement as she ran towards the house.
"Mother, father where are u" she said but didn't hear anything. She decided to open the door wondering where her parents were at this ungodly hour. Katerina wasn't prepared nor was she excepting what was hiding being the door of her childhood home Blood was all she saw open as she open the door, it was on the floor on the carpets and on the wall it was everywhere, it look like someone took buckets of blood and throw it all over the room. She knew what happened and she knew who did it yet she didn't want to believe it. She couldn't believe he was able to find her family, she couldn't belive he killed them all.
She open each and every door in the one storey house until there was but one room left to open, her room. "Come on katerina. U can do this" she said to herself before sighing heavily and grabbing the door handle. "It can't be that bad" she said to herself, how wrong she was.
She saw their motionless bodies lying on the floor she shook her head refusing to believe what she was seeing, Her mother was lying face down on her bed while her father was hanging on the wall with a sword trough his heart, her sister was seating at the foot of the bed with blood dripping from her neck and covering her nightgown. They were all dead.
"No" she screamed as she rushed to their bodies "please wake up" she plead as she shock her mother's body "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" she said whit tear in her eye. Her eye where no longer happy, her face was no longer innocent. Whit her parent in that bedroom on that sad October night katerina petrova died her innocence and her sense of wonder died with her that night Katherine pierce was born.

That all she heard until she saw him fall to the ground. Stefan was dead he was dead because of her
"No, Stefan." She said while running to his body with tears blurring her vision. She place a hand on his bullet wounds and rocked him softly "Please look at me" she said turning Stefan head so he was looking at her
"Hi" he whispered to her softly with a sweet smile on his face
The ghost of a smile appeared on her face until she heard voices coming her way. Stefan heard them to, he tried to tell her to run to run and leave him. "Katerina" he whispered softly. The minute she heard him say her name she knew, she knew he was gone, forever. This was all her fault she thought everyone she love always dies because of because they weren't smart enough to realize she was trouble.
The footstep got closer the voice got closer she couldn't stay for them to catch she had to go; she slowly put his body to the ground and place a kiss on his lip. "I love you Stefan". Whit that she did the only thing she could she ran, she picked up her green dress gave one last look to Stefan and ran She ran to Caroline, to her best friend, her only family.
"Caroline" she started yelling as soon as she got close to the house "Caroline please open up" she said while knocking on oak door of the house. She could hear Caroline getting of the bed to come and open the as soon as the door where open she walks in without waiting for an invitation after all the house was in fact partially hers
"Katherine how did you get out?" the blond asked not really shocked by the fact that her friend was able to get out of a spell tome they put her in, she had no doubt in her mind that Katherine would get out but still she wondered
"He came to save Caroline" she said in a low voice that was barely audible and that when her friend realize she was crying she ran to her side and said
"What wrong Katherine? Why are u crying "caroline was shock to say the least she had never seen Katherine cry before. In situation where she would have crumbled her best friend never did, she took everything head on and with a smug look to her face. She never saw katerina petrova she always saw Katherine pierce, she always saw the strong, stubborn, self righteous, cocky, at time annoying girl she grew to love like a sister but tonight that not what she saw, she saw someone that was broken and lose. Katherine was crumbling and she need her to put her back together so in normal Caroline fashion she put a brave face on trying to hide to fact that she was scared out of her mind and went to the kitchen to make tea for her best friend.
"Who came to save you?" she ask again while handing her the glass of tea she made.
"Stefan care. Stefan came to save me and now he's dead" she said wiping the tear from her eyes "he loved me care, he really loved me" she said to herself more than her friend.
"Katherine looks at me" said Caroline firmly but Katherine kept looking at her hand "katerina look at me" she said again in this time grade her hand
"What is it Caroline" she said when she finally raised her head
"Didn't you say u where feeding of him?" Caroline asked
"What does that have to do with anything Caroline" yelled Katherine visibly irritated whit the fact that her friend was more focus on scolding her then helping her in her time of need
"if you where that mean he has your blood in his system" Caroline yell back mad at the fact that she yell at her when she was only trying to help "he's not dead Katherine he in transition"
"No! No! No! That can't be" said Katherine in denial but when she thought about Caroline was right, it hasn't been 24 hours sense she gave him her blood which means he would be waking up soon whit no idea of what happened to him. He needed help and she couldn't stay and help "you have to go to him, you have to help through his transition. "She said grabbing Caroline's shoulder franticly "I have to run which means I won't be able to help him please you have to help him please Caroline for me" Katherine begged Caroline
"Of course I will. You have to run Kath" said Caroline with a worried look on her face
"No Caroline! I can't leave you, I can't leave him" she said hysterically
"Katherine you have to, I'll find him and ill help him and then I'll find you everything going to be ok" said the blond as she look straight in the eyes of her best friend "you have to run" "please do it for me"
"Ok." She said shaking her head "your right you're always right" as she was exciting the room she turned around for a final look at her best friend, her only friend and said "take care of him Caroline and take care of yourself. Find me when you're ready"
"Course I will. I love you"
Caroline search the whole night for Stefan and wasn't able to find him and when he awoke she knew. He left a long line of bodies pointing straight to where he is. "I'll have to teach him to control himself" she said out loud as she past the fourth body "or at least how to not kill them" she said when she past a pill of dead bodies.
When she final got up to him she saw him feeding from a man, his back was turned to her and she had to admitted that he had a hot back, when she remember why she was there she grad his shoulder and throw him of the poor man he was feeding from and that when she realize the man wasn't dead, the man she was holding up was Jonathan Gilbert a man she know for a fact took part in trapping Katherine. Caroline didn't see the reason to let a monster like that walk free so she ripped his head from his neck and drank the blood coming out of his skull, when blood stop dripping from the man`s head she turned around to take a look at Stefan who was watching her with a look of disgusted or maybe it was envy clouding his face.
"Hi Stefan" she said with a sweet smile "so I hear your dead" she added in the hopes of lighting the mood
"You're one of them" said Stefan "you and Katherine are both vampire?" he asked "and now so am I but how" "why didn't she tell me. Why isn't she here and why are you?" he asked again with a sad voice.
"yes me, you and Katherine or vampires and the reason she isn't here is because she had to go, everyone knows what she is and she couldn't stay any longer" "and to answer your final question I'm here because she couldn't and you need someone to help you go through you transition, I'm here to explain to you what you can and can't do to show you how to fed without committing murder and to give you this" she handed him a ring
"What that" she asked holding the ring up to her
"That my friend is your daylight ring and whenever you go in the sun without it you'll burn, well the part of your skin that has contact with the sun. if you don't like when we meet up with Katherine we'll get you another one now let go" she said giving him a hand so she could stand up an " you might need this" she said while handing him a handkerchief. "Now let go"
