Vampire Diaries: Katherine & Elena
Authors Note: Okay, first VD story sooooo I hope you enjoy and sorry if I don't get everything correct, don't sweat it.
Chapter 1:
11:37 pm, across from the old cafe.
"Elena, Listen!"
"No! Just leave me alone!"
"It wasn't what it looked like, okay!?"
The brunette could feel tears threatening to spill over, walking as fast as she could, away from the demanding voice behind her.
"Whatever, Stefan!"
That's when she felt it again, she'd been feeling it for months now.
She'd look around, eyes...a gaze.
The feeling you get when you just know someone's watching you even if you can't see them...a tingling feeling mostly but to the brunette it was oddly comforting.
Then a hand roughly grabbed at her wrist, yanking her out of her thoughts and into a completely empty alleyway, pushing her against the wall and pinning her to it.
"Stefan, what are you..."
"You don't tell me when to leave you alone you b*tch."
"Let me go, Stefan! How could you!? You cheated on me with that-"
"I don't care." He spat, almost growling. "I don't care what I did you stupid little whore, you probably deserved it...you're pathetic."
He squeezed her wrists tighter as the brunette struggled against his grip.
"Let me go, Stefan! You're hurting me! Let me- Help-"
*Smack*
"Shut. up." He growled, before stroking her burning cheek, she flinched at the contact.
Elena whimpered. "Please, Stefan."
He pressed to the side of her face more throughly.
"Say one more thing and I'll-"
"You'll what?" Came a strong third voice out of nowhere, making the vampire freeze, looking around frantically in the dark but seeing no one at the end of the alleyway where the voice came from.
"Who said that!? Show yourself! Show-"
"Up here, jacka*s." Sing-songed chimed the voice again from above them.
Stefan looked up to the top of the building, eyes widened.
"Oh sh*t-argh!"
Not even getting the words out quick enough, the vampires body was slammed solidly into the brick wall in front of him by the dark figure, crucially denting it.
Elena's eyebrows furrowed when suddenly she was pushed out the way and out of Stefan's grasp, only to look up and see her abusive ex-boyfriend pinned against the wall by the dark figure with the supernatural speed.
Stefan groaned, in pain. "What the h*ll are you doing here?"
"Wait, Stefan knew this mysterious person...er being, that saved her."
The figure chuckled emotionlessly. "What do you think I'm doing here?" It growled.
"So it's a woman, then...she sounds so...familiar. "
Stefan's eyebrows creased, fangs snapping out. "You're here for her, then?"
The dark mysterious figure growled once more. "Stefan, don't you ever learn? You don't ever mess with what's mine...you touch her again and you're gonna wish you'd never meant her and your definitely gonna wish you'd never meant me."
And with that the younger vampire was tossed against the opposite side of the wall. Hard. Almost easily with unremarkable strength.
Elena's eyes widened. "Okay...definitely not human, then."
The hood fell off and the figure turned to face her, warm brown eyes meeting two familiar ones. "You, Okay?"
The brunette's breath hitched, eyes widening farther. "Ka-Katherine...?
The figure smirked, that smirk Elena'd missed so much over the past few months. "I'll take that as a yes."
The figure turned back towards the struggling younger vampire in the alleyway, speeding over and kicking the already downed vampire in the side before easily lifting him up by the neck and pinning him against the wall, yet again in her grasp.
The younger vampire choked.
"Katherine, I swear if you don't let me go-"
"And again, you'll what?" The scowl back on the older vampires face, squeezing the boy by the neck tighter.
Not willing to kill him...yet.
"For Elena." She'd been telling herself over the last few months, she hadn't killed an innocent since she'd made up with Elena...though, she reminded herself that the Salvatore's weren't nearly as innocent as they're made out to be.
"I'll tell her...I-I'll tell how you really feel." The younger vampire choked out breath constricted, but didn't miss his captive hesitate on her grip and smirked, blooded mouth. "What? You didn't think I'd find out?" He laughed, cruelly.
Elena saw her doppelgänger swallow violently.
"She's...nervous?"
"You don't know what you're talking about."
Stefan chuckled darkly. "Yeah...whatever, that stupid b*tch would-"
"Argh!" The younger blonde vampire was slammed against the brick wall on the opposite side in seconds.
"What did you just call my-her!?"
"You heard me...your little girlfriend over there, Elena? and last time I checked, She wasn't yours."
The humans eyes widened. "...There talking about me?"
Katherine growled. "So, what? She's not yours either...you cheated on her remember?Dumba**."
Stefan struggled against her grasp. "How do you know this?" He growled, pushing against her.
Katherine, deciding to ignore the question, looked over to her doppelgänger friend...yes friend, guiltily, watching tears threatening to slip from her beautiful eyes.
"You-you've been here all along?" Came the soft voice of the heart wrenched brunette.
Taking the moment of the two doppelgängers seemingly lost in there own little words, the younger vampire took the chance at his captivators distraction and bargained all the strength in his bones, pushing her the farthest away from him, throwing her into the opposite wall.
"Argh..." The brunette groaned, bones cracking as she stood up into place, looking around for the disappearing blonde vampire.
"Hey, hey. Over here."
"F*ck, Elena!"
Katherine's head snapped to the side, only to see the smirking blonde vampire holding her m-friend...from behind.
"Stefan...I swear, you don't want to do this, I promise you'll regret it.
The young vampire narrowed his eyes. "Oh yeah?" He huffed, positioning his hands and fingers around her neck.
Katherine stepped forward, fists clenched, fangs out.
Stefan tutted. "I dare you...one more step and she goes snap snap."
Now her jaw twitched but she stopped walking nonetheless, she couldn't wait to snap his neck.
"That's what I thought." His voice chimed darkly before looking down at the brunette in his arms. "Now, what to do with you...ah!"
The younger vampire hissed when he was suddenly burned...vervain, but didn't get enough time to recuperate before everything went black.
"What the h*ll was that? You could've been killed." Katherine barely raised her voice, standing over the unconscious body of Stefan Salvatore, in front of her doppelgänger.
Elena couldn't reply back, she didn't know what to say...to much to say, just staring widely at the vampire in front of her.
Katherine shifted nervously in her gaze. "Don't worry, he's not dead just-"
"That's not-" Elena shook her head, stepping closer to the brunette. "You've been here all along?"
Katherine shrugged, attempting to be nonchalant. "Couple weeks...at the most."
"You left me...you left me all alone...y-you, how could you!?"
"Elena, please. Let's not-"
"No!" The non-human cut off. "I thought we had something, I thought we-You just up and left me with a note! A note, Katherine!"
The brunette human was on the verge of fresh new tears now. "I was coming back to you, Elena I swear..."
"When! I didn't know if you were ever coming back at all! So what was it? Were you just using me? Was I just some pawn you played in some stupid twisted game of yours!?"
"What? No! Elena I'd never do that to you...you don't understand-"
"Then help me understand! You-
Katherine's eyes flashed with every emotion in the book.
"I wasn't good enough for you!"
Elena's breath shallowed, calming slightly, voicing breaking. "Wh-what?"
Katherine swallowed violently, nervously. Kicking the teenage body of the boy to the side, she stepped closer to her doppelgänger, talking quietly.
"I wasn't. You didn't need me, Elena...you didn't need me here with you...you have your friends and your family and-" The brunette paused, looking down into the humans eyes. "Elena...I'm not good for you, you and I...were complete opposites to be doppelgängers and I'm evil-"
"You're not evil-"
"I. am." The vampire disagreed strong but softly, shaking her head. "I am, Elena. You don't know all the things I've done in my past lives...all the people I've killed and hurt...Elena, I had to go so that I wouldn't hurt you, so I wouldn't get you hurt."
Elena furrowed her eyebrows and Katherine let out an unneeded breath.
"Elena...I've killed and hurt so many people in the past and not everyone's very...forgiving if you know what I mean, people want me killed, a lot actually...including your little Salvatore guard dogs." The mention of the brothers only put a momentary scowl on the vampires face. "That's why I had to go."
The teenager bit her lip, hurt obvious in her brown eyes. "Because you didn't want me hurt...well too late, Katherine you just left-"
"It's not just seeing you hurt, Elena. I don't want to see you killed because of me..." The vampire shook her head again, breaking eye contact with her doppelgänger, sighing. "Elena..., Elena you are thee only person I care about in this world any more, nobody but you and honestly that scares me...I've never, not even in my human life have ever felt this way about anyone...and I-I can't loose you Elena, I won't."
Elena's breath hitched.
"Is she-"
"I love you.."
Now the tears spilled over the human brunette's face. "You-you what?"
The vampire shook her head, finally making eye contact with her doppelgänger, speaking in a strong voice. "I mean I am honestly, truly, wholly in love with you, Elena and it's not only because you're my mate."
Elena froze, the unuttered words 'mate' formed at her lips but the vampire continued on.
"That's why I knew I had to leave that night...I still remember how i helped you up the tree and we sat on that branch talking for hours on end and when you leaned into me...the way we almost kissed but were uh...interrupted."
Elena almost giggled at the remembrance of the 'interruption' that night.
If looks could kill, that squirrel would have been dead a thousand times over and it'd really have been dead if Elena hadn't held Katherine back that night.
"And then, when we got to your door step that night...I wanted to kiss you so bad and tell you goodnight but I'd been to nervous to do so...go figure, but when you leaned in and kissed me, though on the cheek...it felt like heaven."
Elena blushed, biting her lip causing a small smirk to play onto the vampires face. "Shut up." She muttered playfully.
"It did though." Katherine's eyes softened. "And you know, I was gonna tell you how I felt that night...I was."
Elena swallowed steadily, fingers twitching in front of her. "Why didn't you?"
Katherine shrugged. "I don't-I don't know I just...I got nervous, gave myself a little inspirational pep talk and before I knew it you'd closed the door and so the door closed to my newfound inspiration."
Elena's eyebrows furrowed, confused. "Wait. Katherine, what does this have to do with why you left me that night?"
Katherine's breathing picked up. "Well, uh...as you know, Vampires don't need much sleep and I'd already gotten my forty-eight hours as they say so I deciding on walking through mystical falls, though I'd been drawn to your house for obvious reasons I didn't want to seem as a creeper so I tried my best to stray away but..."
"But?" Elena'd been on her toes since the beginning and she'd really wanted the whole story on why her doppelgänger vampire had left that night.
Katherine cleared her throat. "Well, I don't know...I'd gotten this tingling feeling after awhile so I'd surrendered to my ever loving need to see you and I'd used my vampiric speed to get to you and check on you, just in case, but when I'd gotten there well uh..."
Katherine cleared her throat, continuing quickly.
"Nothing...I mean, when I'd dropped into your bedroom window there was absolutely nothing but I could sense it...Vampires, a lot of'em actually and they'd been there...in your room, I just knew it...but I'd gazed over at you and you looked so peaceful, I knew that they hadn't bothered you. I was so distracted in you that I'd almost forgotten you'd lived with others so I'd thought, for your sake, I'd check on them too."
"Just as I suspected, none of you were touched or bothered in anyway and that was okay but I'd noticed something...in the corner of your room, a note, the scent was screeching from it, so I'd picked it up." Katherine's fists clenched angrily, staring at nothing on the ground.
"I'd never been so angry in my life then at that moment that they'd threatened me through you...they'd threatened to hurt you, Elena...to kill you and I couldn't-"
"I know...I know..." The human brunette soothed, reaching out surprisingly, gently taking her doppelgängers fists in her hands prompting the vampires fists to unclench, linking there fingers.
Taking a breath the vampire continued, calming. "So as realization set in...I knew I couldn't stay, and I decided on a way to protect you...at least for the rest of the night." The brunette rose her eyebrows, looking down at the doppelgänger. "Vervain...thanks for having it stocked up already, anyway I'd spread it through out your...everywhere. Windows, doors, bed, you name it, and sorry about the mess by the way."
Elena frowned. "Wait, wouldn't that burn you...like a lot."
Katherine shrugged, playing with the other girls fingers in hers. "Yeah, but I knew you were safe at least until morning when I could warn the Salvator brothers of the danger and leave, that's...that's all that mattered."
Elena's eyes softened, a small smile playing on her lips. "You-wait." The brunette's eyebrows furrowed, frowning. "Stefan and Damon knew about this? They knew you left...they knew why you left, an-and didn't tell me?"
Katherine twirled their fingers around, nervously. "Elena, I'm sorry. They just didn't care why I was leaving and they sure as h*ll had no problem with keeping it a secret...if you hadn't noticed they uh...kinda hate me."
Elena sighed, nodding...accepting, looking into to warm brown eyes. "So...that's why you left?"
Katherine nodded, nervously gazing into her doppelgänger. "Yeah...th-that's why...I was just trying to protect you...I swear I wasn't using you or intentionally trying to hurt you, Elena, I wasn't-"
*Slap!*
"Oh..F*ck, okay, ok. I deserved that." The vampire held the side of her face, burning.
Elena bit her lip, quivering. "That's for leaving me without an explanation as to why or when you were coming back."
Katherine nodded, suddenly aware of the fact that Elena wasn't as angry at her as she'd originally thought, coincidently after the slap that was just delivered.
"I know, I know and I'm sorry. Elena...you just have to understand, I'm wasn't g-Elena...I'm still not good for you, I wasn't back then I'm still not now-"
*Slap!*
"F*ck, Elena! What the h*ll was that one for?" The vampire wiped at her nose and mouth, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Blood..."
Elena although also shocked at what happened, didn't budge. "That one was for leaving me period and even fathoming the thought that you weren't worthy or 'good' for me." The brunette's voice softened.
The human pulled the vampire impossibly closer to her, wrapping her arms around her neck.
Katherine's breath hitched at the action and the corner of Elena's lips upturned, smiling lightly.
"Because I-I love you too, Katherine."
The vampires breathing now picked up, gingerly wrapped her arms around the humans small waist. "Really?"
Elena giggled at the unusual childlike hope in her doppelgängers voice before leaning up, lips inches apart.
"Yes, really." The brunette breathed out, smirk spreading a crossed her face. "Now, kiss me before I get old, will you?"
With the same mischievous smirk, the vampire leaned in closer, feeling the humans breath on her own lips. "Your wish is my command, Princess."
Then their lips touched and it was searing.
And it felt like heaven, all over again for the both of them.
They'd kiss for minutes which seemed like hours on end before, Elena reluctantly pulled away, breathing unevenly.
Katherine's trade mark grin spread a crossed her face. "Deep breaths, Princess." The vampire left a quick, gentle peck to her lips before pulling away completely so the brunette could breath. "What's the matter? Vampire got your tongue?"
A giggle slipped from the humans lips, softly hitting the vampires arm. "Stop it."
Katherine grinned at the smiling girl still trying to catch her breath before pulling the teenager tighter to her. "Ah...you humans and your need for oxygen or lack of it, eventually..." The vampire shook her head, staring at the girl in front of her. "How in the h*ll do you look so beautiful all the time?"
The brunette human doppelgänger blushed lightly, a small smile taking over her face. "Well aren't you quite the charmer...? Or the, narcissist?" The brunette poked, getting a scowl from the vampire in front her.
"I'll have you know I'm quite a little bit of both, thank you."
The human giggled, feeling something drip down to her chin.
Elena's eyebrows furrowed, looking down as it touched her hand...wet, red...blood.
"What the...?"
"It's mine, don't worry."
Elena looked up and winced at the damage she'd caused her friend...er...girlfriend. "Sorry, I-I didn't mean...I mean, I didn't even think..."
The vampire shook her head. "I get it, it's fine...I guess it was sort of a d*ck move to leave without telling you when I'd be back." The doppelgänger leaned in closer to the human, grinning. "But between you and I, you are one h*ll of a hitter, Princess."
Elena's eyebrows furrowed. "Right...But, How'd I-? I mean, no offense but I'd thought that you guys as vampires were stronger than that, I thought It'd be like twilight you'know, when Bella hit Jacob and she nearly broke her hand or when Edward saved Bella from being hit with that car with just his hand."
Katherine's eyebrows rose almost comically with a twinge of a grin on her face at the mention of the fantasy TV show. "Uh...no." The vampire shook her head. "Actually, it is kinda like that...it's just that we're mates."
Elena rose her eyebrows in a silent question. "And...this gives us a connection? Special abilities just between us?"
Katherine nodded. "Yeah, something like that and we definitely have a connection, I can feel it and you can too I'm guessing and not just because of the doppelgänger thing and sooner or later, you'll start to feel what I feel and be able to get into my mind like I can do you."
Elena gaped. "You can get into my mind!?"
Katherine swallowed, nervously. "Well, er...yeah..."
Elena narrowed her eyes. "Katherine..."
"Hey, hey. I swear...I can't get into your mind unless you allow me in, it uh...comes with the territory." The vampire surrendered. "You're the only one that can block me out...a mate thing."
Elena nodded slowly. "Right...sorry. It'll take me awhile to get used to this dating a vampire thing, again...being her mate."
Katherine nodded, looking at the girl in concern. "But you're fine with it, right?"
A small smile spread across the brunette in question's lips, nodding. "Yep...one problem though."
Katherine's eyebrows rose. "And that is...?"
The brunette human smirked slyly, reminding Katherine of herself. "That this vampire." The brunette poked the vampire in the shoulder. "Doesn't have my tongue anymore." The human whispered seductively.
Katherine grinned back, tightening her hold on the human and leaning back in so that there lips were barely touching. "Maybe someone should take care of that, then."
"Mhmm."
The younger teen leaned in closer only to be interrupted by a grumble behind them.
Katherine's eyes snapped open, turning around.
"You've got be kidding me."
"Salvatore's." The vampiregrowled out in frustration moving closer towards the younger vampire that was beginning to wake up.
"Katherine, don't." A soft voice behind her spoke up, grabbing at her arm. "He's not worth it...lets just get out of here before he wakes up, I'll take you back to my place tonight."
The brunette vampire took one look over the younger Salvatore brother before, taking a deep breath and turning around to grab her newly girlfriend's hand.
"Alright, let's go."
Elena's eyebrows furrowed, linking her and the vampires fingers. "What? Just like that? No arguing?"
Her vampire doppelgänger shrugged, grinning. "What can I say? I've changed."
"Mm...well I like it." The human leaned up, pecking the brunette on the lips before leading them towards the entrance of the alleyway and out onto the empty streets.
"Hey, what time is it?"
Katherine checked her watch, silently contemplating on letting the girl know just how late...er...early, it really was.
"Uh...about close to one a.m, why you got somewhere to be?" Joked the vampire.
Elena mock glared. "Nooo...but I do have to get home, like now, It's a school night carrot top and Jenna's gonna be so pissed if she finds out that I've been out this late."
Katherine chuckled. "Right, well. Thank god, your girlfriends a vampire, then huh?" The vampire stopped in front of her, wiggling her eyebrows.
Elena's eyes narrowed suspiciously. "What are you...?" The brunette humans eyes widened. "Oh no...no,no, no, no, not gonna happen."
The vampire turned her back to the human with a wicked grin on her face. "Oh come on, what are you scared?"
"Yes!" Elena almost yelled, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Oh, come on...you want to get there fast and I'm your ride, problem solved."
Elena shook her head. "No, no. No thank you, I'm sorry but I am not even remotely interested in committing suicide today."
The vampire turned back around with a sigh. "Oh, don't be so dramatic...it's not suicide because your not gonna die, I won't let anything happen to you."
The human brunette hesitated, arms going to her side. "You promise?"
"You trust me?"
The brunette human nodded without hesitation, eyes shining in the moonlight. "Yes."
Katherine let a small smile spread across her face. "Then I promise."
The vampire turned around, steadily. "When you're ready, then?"
Elena nodded, though the vampire couldn't see her. "Alright." The human pulled her hands onto the vampires shoulders before jumping onto her back.
Katherine already expecting it and knowing anyway, shifted to the brunette's weight so she'd be more-
"Comfortable?" The vampire smirked and rose her eyebrows feeling the teenager squirm on her back.
"Yeah." The girl on her back whispered softly in her ear, and the vampire couldn't help but shudder at the tingling feeling of it all. "You think you could sneak us in...get us through my bedroom window without any deafened noises?"
Snapping out of her momentarily distracted gaze, Katherine snorted, grinning.
"Are you kidding?"
