"Oh my God Sammy!" she calls out and ran to her side, Samathea moans and rubs the back of her head in pain as Elena sat her up.
"Sammy, what the hell happen?" Elena asks her as Samathea vision focus. "John…" she states, Elena then heard another groan followed by a thud in the kitchen Elena then help her to her feet and they both walk into the kitchen and Elena gasp as she found John on the floor, press his good hand to his wound as his other hand was missing his fingers. She pulls Sammy along with her and leans her against the counter, Elena reaches over and place a towel on his wounds, then pulls out the phone and dials 9-1-1. Samathea looks over and saw Kathrine standing living room as her vision blurred. John looks over and saw her. "Hi, I need and ambulance, 2104 maple street." she tells the woman over on the other end, then notices John was looking at something and he mumbled something.
"What?" she asks him, "Behind you." he tells her, she gasp and quickly turns around, seeing nothing. Samathea quickly shakes off her dizziness, then walks over and reaches down gripping the bloody knife, "Elena stay with John, I'll take care of this." she tells her, Elena nods and presses the towel to John's wounds. Samathea slowly and slowly strides into the hallway, the knife in her hand, she was in between the stairwell and door-frame of the living room, Samathea then quickly turns, her back facing the front door as she heard something whoosh behind her, she slowly walks back to the doorway to the kitchen, Katharine watches her from the living room.
Samathea stops, noticing Katharine in the living room, so she started to turn her body back to the and throws at knife, hitting Katharine in the back of the shoulder as she vamps out the door. Samathea pants as realization hits her, "Oh god, Jeremy." sh mumbles and ran up stairs. "Jeremy!" she shouts, bursting into his room, finding him on his bed and, she lands on her knees as she jumps onto the bed and shakes Jeremy. "Please Jeremy, wake up!" she shouts, then he gasps awake.
~8~8~8~
An ambulance came and wheels John out of the house, Stefan stands into the house but an office places his hand on his chest, stopping him, "He's okay." Elena calls out, and the officer lets him pass and Stefan walks up the steps to the twins and they lead him into Jeremy's room, where he was sitting on his bed.
"What happened?" Stefan asks them. "He said that Anna gave him her blood and then he took these pill, and, and…" Elena tells him, But Samathea place her hand on her shoulder, calming her down as Stefan takes the vial from Elena, "What she's saying is that he look fine, but so do you, we just… don't know." Samathea states, Stefan tosses the empty vial onto his bed, kneels down, "Here, look at me." Stefan tells him, taking a hold of Jeremy's face and looks at his eyes. "I'm fine, OK. I feel exactly the same." Jeremy tries to shove him away, but Stefan was too strong for him. "Should I call a paramedic up here, what should I do?" Elena asks him as Samathea comforted her.
Stefan glares into Jeremy's eyes. "No, he's fine." Stefan tells them and stood up, "You mean I'm not a vampire?" Jeremy asks as Stefan turns and looks at him. "Damn it." he grumbles and the twins look at him, Elena pulls out of Samathea's arms. "Jeremy don't say that, why would you want that?" Elena questions him. "Did you hear about what happened to Anna, what happened to her tonight?" Jeremy as her as he stood up, Samathea steps in between them, pressing her hands to Jeremy's chest, keeping him at bay. "She's dead." he tells her and they both look at him, "Jeremy, Jer, come here, sit down." Stefan sat him back down on the bed, gripping the sides of his head.
But Jeremy looks away, "I am very sorry about Anna." Stefan tells him, making him look at him. "But it's very important you listen to me right now. With every passing moment Anna's blood is leaving your system, if you try to kill yourself right now, you can really die." Stefan tells him, Jeremy said nothing. "Hey! Do you understand me?" Stefan questions him, lightly slapping his cheek. "Stefan…" Elena calls out, making him calm a bit. "Yeah, I understand." Jeremy answers him, Stefan nods and moves away from Jeremy. "What about the pills that he took?" Samathea asks him, "He didn't take enough to kill himself… Anna's blood healed him of that." Stefan states and Jeremy looks the other way.
Then someone knocks on the door. "Ms. Samathea." the paramedic calls out, the four look at him, "I'll be right there." she tells him, he nods at her, "You should go." Elena tells her, "But what about…" Samathea starts, but Elena gently grips her shoulders. Samathea shuts up, "Go, Stefan and I will watch over him." Elena states, rubbing her shoulders. "I do need a babysitter." Jeremy tells them, but the look at him, then Elena answers, "Yes, you do."
~8~8~8~
Samathea arrives at the hospital and watches from the front desk as John was wheeled into the hallway and the doctors make a left, Samathea rubs her hands together, she then walks off and saw Bonnie, she walks up to her and places her hand on her shoulder. "Bonnie, hows Caroline?" she asks her, "She's weak, they don't know if she's going to make it." Bonnie informs her as Damon leans out of the other hall, "What?" Samathea asks as Bonnie wraps her arms around her pulling her into her arms. But then Samathea pulls back, "But can we do something, like uh, like uh, spell or something?" Samathea asks her, Bonnie went to answers but Damon beats her to it.
"She doesn't know how, do you?" Damon states as he walks out and up to them, "No I don't." Bonnie answer, Samathea sighs and presses her hand to her forehead, "No, because it took Emily years to learn a spell like that." Damon states as he stood next to Samathea, as the young sorceress places her hands on her hips. "Will I can take down a vampire, that spell was easy to learn." Bonnie tells him then Damon turns to Samathea. "I can give Caroline some blood…" Damon starts, "No, no way." Samathea states, shaking her head, "No, no, enough to heal herself, she'll be safe in the hospital, it will be out of her system in a day, she'll be better, Sammy." he tells her his plan. "It's too risk, someone could walk in and see you feeding blood to her and you could get expose to that. I don't want to agree to that." she tells him. "Do it." Bonnie tells him.
Making the two look at her, and she looks at Samathea. "This is Caroline, we can't just let her die." Bonnie tells her and she looks back at Damon, "Do it." she tells him, "If I do this, you and me, call a truce?" Damon asks her, crossing his arms. "No, you'll do it anyway. For Samathea." she tells him, making the two look at her in shock and she takes on last look at Samathea and walks off, Samathea sighs and ran her hands over her hair, pulling it back. "I know this is probably the last thing you want to hear right now, but we really need to talk." Damon tells her. She nods at him, "Yeah, a vampire attack John and throws me across the living room." she tells him, "Wait what, are you hurt?" Damon asks her, cupping the sides of her neck and checking from left to right. Samathea place her hands on his and making him stop. "I'm fine, it barley hurts. But Damon that's not even the worst of it." she starts.
He looks at her, seeing the fear in her eyes, "What do you mean?" he asks her, "This wasn't just some vampire, they were invited in as well." she tells him, making Damon move his hands to her shoulders. "Wait, how is that even possible?" he asks her, Samathea went to say more, "Samathea!" Jenna calls out to them, making the two pull apart and Damon to remove his hands from Samathea's shoulders. "I came as soon as I got your message, how's John." she tells the young Gilbert. "Where were you?" Samathea tells her, "At the fire department, I had to fill out a report, I told you this." Jenna tells her as Samathea looks at her, shaking her head. "No you didn't." Samathea states, now it was Jenna's turn to be confused.
"No Jenna you didn't." Samathea tells her, Damon looks at them; Elena was with Stefan and Samathea was here with him. "Yeah I did." she tells her, "Ohh…" Damon mumbles, making the two look at him, "Uh… you got to be kidding me." he states, "Wish I was." Samathea answers. Damon looks at her, "Wait you knew?" he asks her, she nods. "I was going to tell you." she states, "When?" Damon asks, "Three seconds ago." she answers, Damon groans and buries his face into his hands, then pulls out and walks off, Samathea follows him.
~8~8~8~
Stefan paces as Elena sat next to Jeremy as he slept. Then Stefan hears the door downstairs open and closes, he looks at the door and heads down, Elena stayed with Jeremy. He walks down stairs and saw 'Samathea' walking back into the house. "Hey." he calls out and 'Samathea' turns to him, "Hows Caroline?" he asks her, she shakes her head. "Not good, she answers and hugs Stefan, who returns the hug, "Just what I wanted." 'Samathea' states and slowly smirks, she then slowly pulls back and looks at him with gentle eyes, then slowly moves her lips closer to his, but he grabs the back of her neck, snares at her with his fangs crimson red eyes showing and tosses her over the couch.
'Samathea' then vamps up to her feet, "Kathrine." Stefan states as his face went back to normal, she sighs, "Will at least I fooled one of you." Kathrine states as the disguise drops. Stefan saw that her necklace was glowing a green color and the glow was gone. Then he vamp at her, slamming her at one end of the room, glowing at her. "Feel better?" she asks him, but then he vamps over and slams her at the other wall, holding her by the throat, but Katherine was unfazed but this. He growls at her, but then heard the door, being opened and Elena started to walk down the stairs, he looks over. Katharine takes her chance, grabbing Stefan's wrist, twisting it, breaking the bones in the process and sent him to the ground, she smirks down at him and vamps away. Stefan snaps his arm back in pace as Elena walks down the stairs and Samathea and Damon walks into house.
"Stefan?" Elena asks him, as he stands up, "What happened?" Elena asks, as Stefan looks around. Damon sighs, and both he and Samathea spoke at the same time. "Katherine happened."
~8~8~8~
"Did she say what she wanted?" Damon asks his pacing younger brother, "No." Stefan answers as Samathea walks into the leaving room, "The woman centennially knows how to make an entrance." he mumbles, "she said she fooled one of us at least, what did that mean?" Stefan asks him, Damon shot a look over at Samathea, she locks her eyes with his and they both looks over at Stefan. "She pretended to be Elena after I showed up earlier tonight." Damon answers as Elena walks into the living room.
"I told Jeremy, I can't lie to him anymore." Elena tells them, the three look at her and Stefan walks up to her. "You alright?" he asks her, "No I'm not alright, I thought that with all the Tomb vampires gone, that things will be better." Elena states as Damon leans against the counter. "I know, we all did." Stefan tells her. "Katherine was in this house, that means she's been invited in, what are we going to do?" Elena asks. "Move." Damon suggest for her with a smirks but then was smack in the arm by Samathea, he looks at her as she was leaning against the counter next to him, "Very helpful." She states, "Katherine wants you and Elena dead and there is 0 you can do about it, and both of you will be dead." he tells her as she frowns at him, "You forget that, I have magic in my blood and I can throw her around like a rag doll, it would be good pay back for throwing me like one." she reminds him, he nods, knowing that she can throw people around like a rag doll.
"But you're not dead yet, so clearly she's out of plans." he adds, Samathea sighs, knowing he was right. So Elena sat down. "Right, we don't know what her plans are and we shouldn't provoke her in the process." Stefan tells him as he stands behind Elena's chair, Damon sighs and frowns at him, "What happen tonight after you arrive at the house?" Stefan asks them, "I just wave at her and left." Damon answers. "No wait, what happened when you arrive at the house?" Stefan now asks the both of them, they look at each other then back at him, "We just talk." Damon answers, "About what?" Stefan asks again. "What did this turn into an interrogation?" Samathea asks him as Damon agrees with her, "We did nothing, Stefan. We just talk, then hug and I left that was it." Damon tells him, Samathea points at him, "The man's speaking sense." she states.
"So nothing happen between you, at all?" Stefan asks again, "No." they both answer him, he nods at them and looks at Elena, Damon held his fist to Samathea and she bumps hers to his. "Wait, I have two questions." Samathea calls out, making Stefan and Elena looks at her, "How did you know it was that Katherine wasn't me and how did she get her hair and eyes to look like mine?" Samathea asks him, "Mary Ann had this book with her, filled with all of recipes for enchanting, spelling, curing, cursing, Electra. And one of them was for glamor charms…" Damon tells her, "To make you look like someone else." she states, Damon nods his head, "So the bitch Katherine finds Mary's book, got a glamor charm spell, stole some hair from Mary, got a witch to work it and Bod-a-bing bod-a-boom, she looks like you." Damon states, Samathea groans. "Just when things couldn't get worse." she mumbles
"So how did you know Katherine wasn't Sammy?" Damon asks him, making everyone look at Stefan, "She tried to kiss me." he answers then making Samathea's face go pale. Then the three look at her. "I suddenly feel very disturb at the moment, no offense Stefan, but kissing you… it's just… no, no." Samathea states, then presses her face into the counter top, Damon pats her back. But then pulls herself up, "It's official, I'm going to kill her. Enough said." she states, chuckling to herself. "Okay we're getting distracted." Elena states, standing up. Everyone nods at her and the two walk away from out the kitchen and stood next to the couple. "But why would she kill John?" Elena asks. "She's Katherine, she wants to play games and you're fooling yourself in you think you're going to find out what she's up to." Damon tells Elena leaning against the beam.
"She might appear tomorrow, at the funeral, maybe." Samathea suggest, shrugging her shoulders. "Did you have a vision again?" Elena asks her, Samathea shakes her head. "No, I'm just going on a hunch, I mean, it's mayor Richard Lockwood's funeral, so everybody is going to be there. We'll be there and so would Katherine, because if she tried to kiss you, she'll come after you first." she states pointing to Stefan. The younger Salvatore brother looks at her in surprise. "Did she just…" Stefan asks, Damon nods looking surprise as well. "I think she just did." he mumbles. Elena and Samathea looks at the two in confusion, "What?" Samathea asks them, "No has ever been a step ahead of Katherine since Mary Ann." Damon states, Samathea looks at him, "And you just might of step ahead of her." Stefan adds. Samathea looks at him and smile trumpery at them. "Yay, five points for Samathea." she smiles, Elena smiles at her. "You do know, if your right, she'll come after you." Stefan tells her and Samathea's look darkens. "Please, if Bitch Katherine wants to pick a fight with me, I'll be waiting and ready for her." she tells him.
"Damn." Damon mumbles to himself. "Ok, ok, we get it. Tomorrow, we'll head for John at the hospital and see why Katherine wanted to kill him and then head to the funeral, okay." Elena tells the boys, they nod at her and headed out, then Samathea and Elena walks upstairs. "You're going to kill her aren't you?" Elena asks her, "Totally." Samathea answers her. Elena smiles at her and they both high five each other.
~8~8~8~
Samathea manages to arrive early for Elena and the others, were black pants, flat black boots with a blue tank-top with a dark brown jacket, her hair let straight on her shoulder she was on her phone with Elena. "Sam, are you sure about this?" Elena asks her, of course I am, I want to find Katherine and give her a peace of my mind." she tells her, hearing Elena giggle, "That sounds like something you would do, now remember no killing." Elena reminds her, "I know I know, if I kill I expose myself to the whole town, come on, Elena I don't do stuff like that." she states then the smile falls on her face.
"Oh god." she states, stopping at the steps, "What?" Elena asks her, "I just sounded like Damon." she states, "Oh god, please don't tell me you're becoming Damon Junior?" Elena whines, "If I do, smack me." she tells her and starts back up the stairs. "Roger that, take care Sammy." Elena tells her, "Affirmative, over and out." she said with a smiles and arrive on the first porch, hung up and was now face with Taylor. "Hey Taylor." she states, he looks at her. "Sam." he said back, "I don't know if I should offer my sympathy or congratulate you on being free of your dad." she states, Taylor crosses his arms and looks at her. "I don't know what you're talking about." he tells her, but her gave him an annoy look. "Really? You want to bullshit a bullshiter?" she questions him, he looks at her, seeing that she was smarter then she look and sighs. "how did you…" he asks, "How did I find out about him abusing you, a long while ago you were giving off signs." she tells him.
He tilts his head at her, "You were angry and upset and took your frustration out on everybody else." she tells him, Taylor nods at that, "Ah." he states, "And did you…" he asks again, "Tell anyone? Yeah, countless times, but no one believe me. My word over the mayor's. Who do you think won that fight." she tells him, he nods at her. "Thank you for trying to help." he tells her, making her smirk a little. "Oh don't get me wrong Taylor, It doesn't change the one fact I do know about you." she states, Taylor smiles at her, "And what fact is that, pray tell." he asks her, "You're still a dick." she tells him, Taylor just smiles at her and shifts in spot, "Good day, mister Lockwood." she tells him and walks off. Taylor turn and watches her walk inside.
"Yup, that girl is still a bitch." Taylor mumbles to himself as people walk into the house for the funeral. Samathea walks among the people, saying hellos and good days to her, she then say Liz and Damon speak with Carol about what happened to Richard, she snuck up close to them, turning her back to them, crossing her arms and eavesdrop on them. "What are you implying, that he was one of them." Carol snaps at Liz, "No, no one is implying…" Damon tries to madam mayor, Samathea held back a laugh, "Your deputies screw up, plain and simple. Which makes you responsible." Carol snaps back at him, "Carol…" Damon tries to talk to her.
"You're husband is the one that help John Gilbert execute his idiot plan in the first place…" Liz reminded her. "Liz…" Damon then tries to talk to her, "Some got my husband killed." Carol tells her, missing Richard so much. "We're all on edge here." Damon tells them, breaking them up, Liz looks at him. Then he looks over at Carol, "You great loss, the whole town has." he tells him, "Taylor didn't." Samathea mumbles to herself as Damon places his hands on their shoulders, "We have to stick together. Okay, trust each other, we'll get through this." he tells the two and Samathea walks off.
~8~8~8~
Samathea walks around, having a good time until she looks over at the door and saw Katherine posing as Elena. Taylor shook her hand and he invited her in. Katherine stood at the edge of the doorway, looks at it then steps inside, she smirks to herself and walks off.
Samathea's eyes followed her, she she pulls out her cell and texted Elena on the 'Bitch' update, Sam like to call it. She send her message and shadows Katherine; wait shadow? Sam can do that now?
~8~8~8~
Samathea watches as Katherine spoke with Stefan, telling him that she was avoiding Damon, Samathea scoff at that, -Heartless bitch.- Samathea thinks to herself then saw Matt walk up to them and Katherine pulls the Elena card. Samathea just smirks to herself, -You are so going to die, Katherine.- Samathea states, then Matt walks off and Katherine was herself again. She and Stefan walk off somewhere, Samathea sighs and walks off to the front seeing Elena, Jeremy and Jenna arrive. "Looks like the whole town as turn out." Jenna states, "Well yeah… he is- was the mayor." Elena states.
Samathea walks down to them and hugs her sister, Elena smiles and returns the hug. "Why don't they save it for the funeral?" Jeremy asks. The twins ended the hug and walk up the steps. "it's what they do, they Lockwoods were here for us, when we went through this. It will be quick, we'll drop off the food pay our respects and go." she tells them as Samathea was eyeing Damon, who eyed her. "In and out. Sounds like a plan." Jeremy states.
"You guys go ahead, I'll be right there." Samathea tells them, Jenna nods at her and her and Elena walk into the house, Samathea then walks over to Damon. "Hey how are you doing?" Samathea asks him with worry. "Great Sammy, walking on the sun shine. Thanks for asking." he answers her, "Damon." she said in an annoy tone, "Samathea." Damon matches her tone. "Come we should be able to talk about this, we're close enough now, I really want to know who you're doing." she tells him as he drinks his whiskey. "Katherine's back, and all I tried to let go of, came rushing back and all I can think about is when Katherine betrayed her sister to survive." he tells her, then looks at her. "How do you think I'm doing?" he asks, as Samathea crosses her arms.
"I think that you're hurt." she states, shrugging her shoulder, "Oh… I don't get hurt Sammy." Damon smirks at her, "No, you don't admit that you get hurt. You get angry and cover it up and you do something stupid." she tells him and he saw the frighten look in her eyes. "You're scared." he states. "You think Katherine is going to send me off the deep end, don't you." he states as Samathea said nothing. "I don't need her for that." Damon tells her and walks pass her, "I'm not scared." Samathea said to him, making him stop and turns to her, she then turns and looks at him. "I'm terrified out of my flipping mind." she tells him, Damon looks at her, "I'm terrified that Katherine is going to hurt you again, I'm terrified that she going to make you do something so bad that you'll hate yourself for it." she tells him and walks up to him, and grips his hand.
Damon felt his heart jump when her hands touch his, "I don't want you to get hurt anymore, it's not fair." she tells him, Damon looks at her eyes and trails his blues eyes to her lips, and with a sudden move, Damon presses his lips to her. Samathea eyes widen as Damon presses his lips against hers. Her body was frozen right in it's place, the kiss was gentle, sweet and full of love, then Damon pulls back and looks at her. "Why did you do that?" Samathea asks him, "I think you know why." Damon tells him, she just looks at him in shock. "I have to go." she tells him and ran off. "Sam." Damon calls out for her, but she was already long gone.
~8~8~8~
"The Lockwoods have a lot more land then they use to." Katherine states as she and Stefan walk in the back yard, "The possession the tomb vampire build them quite a fortune." she adds, but were unaware that Samathea was following them. "Yeah why did you want them dead, hm, you're the one that turn most of them." Stefan asks her. She just smirks at him. "There is nothing more annoying then vengeful vampires Stefan, just ask John Gilbert." she tells him and they stop at a bench.
"You haven't change at all have you?" Stefan states, stuffing his hands into his pockets. Katherine turns to him, "But you have. You're stronger, meaner. Sexy." she points out, Samathea rolls her eyes at him. "Don't flirt with me Katherine, I'm not one of your sex boys." Stefan tells her, Samathea covers her mouth, biting back a laugh. "Damon and I didn't spent the last 145 years obsessed with you and Damon wants you dead for what you did to Mary." Stefan tells him. "Yeah, but pass on both of your choices of women, I would say otherwise." she tells him, walking pass him. He smirks to himself and turns to her. "Though I do admit, I does bother me that you're falling in love with someone else." she tells him.
"I was never in love with you, Katherine. It was your sister, Mary Ann, who I was in love with, but you compelled me to love you when she was in love with Damon. None of my feelings for you were real." he tells her, Samathea turns her head a little, surprise to hear Stefan say that. Katherine did her best not to lose her smiles, so she crosses her arms and walks up to him. "Believe what you want Stefan. I know the truth and deep down, so do you." she tells him. "The truth?" he asks her, she smiles at him, "Well the truth is, you're the same lying, selfish, manipulative bitch that you've always been. But Mary on the other hand, she was selfless, caring, always had everyone's best interest at heart, she protected others and she was loved by many. That's why I loved her. Because she never played with people's feeling, or compelled them to what she wanted." Stefan tells him, Katherine stiffens as her smiles falter.
"So whatever it is that brought you here, why do you just get on with it and leave town. Because if you don't I will hurt you down and I will rip your heart out." he threatens her, Samathea covers her mouth. Man, Katherine really did piss him off. "You want to know why I'm here Stefan." she asks him as Stefan smirks at her, "I came back for you." she tells him. "Well the problem is Katherine is that I hate you." he tells her, then she vamps, pulling the candle holder stake out of the ground and stabs him in the stomach, making him groan and lean against her, Samathea then came out of hiding. "You hate me huh? That sounds like the beginning of a love story, Stefan. Not the end of one." she tells him and pulls the stake out and he falls to his knees pressing his hand to his wound. Then Samathea walks up behind her, grips the back of her neck and started to burn her. Katherine moans in pain, "Back off bitch." Samathea tells her and, Samathea grabs her and throws her across the yard making her land near the road.
"Whoa." Samathea states and looks at her hands, Katherine vamps to her feet and takes off, "Sam… a little help… please." Stefan calls out, snapping her back to reality. "Right, right, right. Sorry." she tells him pulling his arm over her head and pulls him back onto his feet and they two walk off.
~8~8~8~
Stefan sat on a bench with Elena cleaning off the blood on one end and Samathea sitting Indian style on the other-side watching. "Are you going to be alright?" Elena asks him, "Yeah, It'll heal." Stefan answers her, "That's not what I meant." Elena states, he looks at her then at Samathea, as he know she heard everything him and Katherine were talking about, she looks at him and nods at him, then he looks back at Elena. "I was trying to figure her out, playing along and I let her get to me." Stefan tells her.
Samathea places her hand on his shoulder, giving him a friendly squeeze, Stefan looks at her and smiles a little, "Thanks Sam." Stefan states, she smiles and nods at him. She pulls her hand back as Damon walks up to them. "Tried to track her, but she's gone." he informs them, "Oo! Cover up, fabbeo! We got a crazy Ex on the loose." Damon states, looking away. Elena helps Stefan down his shirt and the three look at him. Then Damon looks at Elena, "Better watch out, looks like Katherine is trying to steal your guy." Damon said with a smirk. Samathea gave Elena a worry look as Elena looks over at her. "That's not what's happening." Stefan states.
"Really, cause I beg to differ." Damon states, Stefan rolls his eyes at him, "I'm gonna go cheek on Jeremy and Jenna, come find me when you're done." Elena tells them, Samathea gets up too, "Wait for me." Samathea tells her and follows after her. Damon watches her go, then looks at Stefan, "So, what's it going to be now, can I kill her?" Damon asks him, Stefan looks at him, "So you can play right into her hands?" Stefan shot back with a question, "Why, after what she done?" Damon asks, "Katherine is going to try and pit us against each other, you do know that, right?" Stefan tells him, "Brother, do you worry, our bond is unbreakable." Damon tells him. "We need to stay united against her." Stefan tells him, standing up from the bench, "I'm not going to let you kill her, she'll tell you something that isn't true and cause something bad to happen. I won't have that." Stefan tells him and turns away from him, "I wanted to kiss Sam." Damon tells him, Stefan stops and looks at him, "That means you feel something for her, not because she looks like Mary Ann, but because of who she is and because you actually care. I won't have Katherine come in here and destroy that part of you, that has finally after all of this time, willing to feel something." Stefan tells him.
Damon just looks at him, "She'll try to break you, she'll try to break us and how we respond to that will defy us, to our choice." Stefan states, Damon continued to say nothing, "So no, I'm not going to let you kill her." he tells him and walks off, leaving Damon all alone and by himself.
~8~8~8~
Night had fallen as Damn was in the boarding house, pouring himself a drink and went to walk to his room, but stops, "Every brave of you to come here." Damon said and turns to Katherine as she was sitting on the couch, "I wanted to say good-bye." she tells him, "Leaving so soon?" Damon asks her, "I know when I'm not wanted." she tells him, "I should kill you for what you done to Mary." Damon growls at her, she just smirks. "She was weak, because she had given her heart to you." he states, "Cry me a river, Katherine and just leave already." Damon states and goes to leave, but Katherine was already in front of him, "What, no good-bye kiss?" she asks him, Damon backs up.
"I'd sooner kiss the devil than kiss someone like you." Damon snaps at her, she huffs. "What are you doing here?" he asks her, "Nostalgic, curiosity, exeatra." she tells him, Damon just scoffs at that. "I'm better at the one liners, Katherine. What are you up to?" he questions her. "Trust me Damon, when I'm just to something, you'll know it." she tells him ad he just glares at her. "Come on, kiss me or kill me, which will it be Damn. We both know you're capable of one." she states, leaning up to him, lips were inches away from his. But he turns away from her to walk away, but she suddenly appears in front of him and sends him to the ground as she presses her self to him. "My dear Sister's sweet, innocent Damon." she purrs at him, but Damon grips her throat and switches positions with her and he looms over her.
Katherine just smirks at him, "Would you prefer if I look…" Katherine places her hand on her necklace and with a soft green glow her hair and eyes changes colors, brown went to black and brown went to blue. "…Like Mary." she tells him and Damon just looks at her, feeling his heart pound, then Damon smashes his lips onto hers. Open mouth and repeatedly kisses her on the neck as Katherine smiles at that. "That's more like it." she giggles and then vamps up and slams Damon up to the wall, she then pulls Damon's shirt opens, running her hands over his chest. Damon then pushes himself off the wall, pushing the books away and sat on the table, kissing her all over.
She smiles to herself, but then felt her necklace get jerk off her neck. She opens her eyes and saw Damon vamp to the fire place and throws the charm into the fire. The flames turn green for a moment and return to their original color, she looks at him as he looks at her in rage, then vamps over to her grips her throat and slams her back onto the table, "You think even for a second that Stefan or I are in love with you're wrong. Damn wrong, we both loved Mary Ann, she was an angel, redeeming herself for all the wrong she had done, you. You just just brush it off like it was nothing, Mary use to have nightmares for what she done, all the lives she had taken, the villages that she left in flames, she knowledge them all and she wanted to make it right, that's why I loved her and I'm willing let her go." Damon tells her, letting go of Katherine's throat walks away from her and button ups his shirt, Katherine pulls herself off the table.
"But did she tell you her darkest secret?" Katherine asks him, he turns and looks aback at her, "What secret?" Damon asks her, Katherine smirks at her and crosses her arms. "You weren't her first love nor the first man she slept with, you were her second." she tells him, Damon looks at her in shock. "What?" he mumbles. "There is a story behind that, but I don't need to tell you, but you'll find out soon enough." she tells him, patting his shoulder and was gone.
Wait, Damon wasn't Mary Ann's first love? Then who was. Or was Katherine trying to mess with him again? He need a drink or a whole ton of drinks.

Back the that Gilbert house Samathea finishes up brushing her teeth. Elena texted her earlier, telling her that she was going to be late, Samathea sighs and looks in the mirror, replaying Damon kissing her in her minds. But she shakes that memory out of her mind and walks back into her room, but then jumps as she saw Damon sitting in her head. "Oh god!" she mumbles, placing her hand on her chest, calming her panic heart. "You scared me." she tells him "Just doing my part on the neighborhood watch." Damon tells her, she smiles a little at him "Thanks." she states as she walks over to her Hamper and places her dirty close in it.
"For… looking out for us. For me." she tells him, placing her hands on her hips, "Thanks me, the trusty bodyguard, clam and courageous." Damon states as Samathea notices that something was wrong, "Have you been drinking?" she asks him, he looks up at her and show her two of his fingers, that were pinch closely together and a little bit apart. "And you're upset, which isn't a good combination." Samathea tells him, Damon just shook his head. "No I'm not upset. Upset is an emotion specific to those who care." he tells her, and she see it even more. "That's a lie, you do care." she tells him and he looks up at her. "You were surprise that I kiss you at the Lockwood Manor, you can't imagine how much I wanted to do that." he tells her and Samathea looks turns into worry. "Damon…" she starts, but he cuts her off.
"That what we've been doing here means something." he tells her as she looks at him, trying to get his point. "You're the liar, Sam. There is something going on between us and you know it." he tells her, standing up from her head. Samathea started to slowly shake her head, "You've been lying me, you're laying to Elena and Stefan and most of all, you're lying to yourself." he tells her, walking up to her, making her back up a little as he was right in front of her. "I can prove it." Damon tells her, she shakes her head. "No…" she tries to speak, but Damon grips the sides of her head and presses his lips against hers, hard then before.
Samathea pulls her hands up and presses them against his chest, pushing him off her, "Damon don't. What's wrong with you?" Samathea asks him as he caress the sides of her hair. "Am I wrong about this?" he asks as he tries to kiss her again, but she stops him, "Stop it, you're better then this, come on." she begs him. "That's where you're wrong." he tells her and tries to kiss her again, but she places her hands on his mouth, stopping him. "No, no, no, Damon listen to me." she tells him, getting his attention as she pulls her hands away and grips his and pulls them off her head. "I do care about you, I do, but you don't want me, alright. No one wants to be with me, I won't be someones first or second choice, I'll always be that girl on the sidelines, because I am who I am." she tells him.
He looks at her, gripping her hand in his. "Sammy, what's going on in here?" Jeremy asks as he walks into her room, Samathea looks at him then away as she pulls her hand out of Damon's grip. "Nothing Jeremy, it's okay, just go back to bed." she tells him as Jeremy crosses her arms, she then rubs her forehead. "No it's not okay, Sam." Damon states, she stops and looks at him as Damon looks at Jeremy. "He wants to be a vampire." Damon states, Jeremy raise an eyebrow, but Damon vamps over to him and presses him at the wall, "No, Damon, stop!" Samathea calls out, walking two steps. "You want to shut out the pain?" Damon asks him as Jeremy was panting in fear "It's the easiest thing in the world and the part of you that cares just goes away, all you have to do is flip the switch and Snap!" Damon states and twists Jeremy's neck.
"Damon!" Samathea exclaims in horror as Jeremy drops to the ground, "NO!" she shouts, falling to her knees and grips at Jeremy's shirt, "Jeremy! Jeremy!" she cries, pulls his head up and rested it on her lap, "Jeremy, please wake up!" she cries shaking him, Damon watches as Samathea cries over her younger brother, she gently strokes Jeremy's cheeks with her trembling hands then looks up at Damon with her sad bright blue eyes. "Get out and don't ever come back!" she snaps at him as tears steam down her face. He takes one last look at her hurt expression and left her with her dead brother.
She pants heavily as she looks at her brother, she grips at her shoulder and then controlled her breathing as she notices something on his hand, she reaches over, gently grips his hands, pulls it to her and saw that it was John's ring. She pants with relief griping his hand with the ring on it, looks down at him and caress his brown hair.
~8~8~8~
Elena and Stefan arrive home and found Samathea holding Jeremy in her arms as he wasn't breathing, Elena sat on the edge of Samathea's bed as Stefan was standing by the door. "He saw the ring, that's why he did it, he knew." Stefan tells Samathea as he continued to hold Jeremy and her hand was place on top of Jeremy's hand. She shakes her head, "He didn't see the ring." she tells him, "It must have been Katherine, she must of said something to him to set him off." Elena states, sliding off the bed and next to Samathea, rubbing her shoulder, "She must of said something about Mary to set him off this bad, undoing everything that was good about him." Stefan states, shaking his head.
Samathea shook her head with a hurt and broken look on her face. "There is nothing good about him, Stefan. Not anymore." Samathea chokes, Stefan looks at her, "He decided what he wants, he doesn't want to feel, he wants to be hated it's easy that way. He got his wish." she states.

Damon stood in the boarding house a glass of Borden in his hand, he looks at it, remember about Samathea, her smiles, laugh, temper, words of kindness and her warm hugs. -You were Mary Ann first love nor the man she slept with, you were her second- Katharine's words ring out. -You don't want to be with me, Alright. No one wants to be with me, I won't be someones first or second choice, I'll always be that girl on the sidelines, because I am who I am.- Samathea words ring out, his grips on the glass tightens. -Get out and don't ever come back!- the those words make him snap.
Damon throws the glass at the wall, it shatters at contact and plops on the ground, Damon pants and plops onto the couch, he leans forward a bit and presses the heels of his hands to his forehead as he cries.
~.~.~.~.~
Samathea gently grips Jeremy's hair in her fingers and she looks up at him with her tear-stain face and red puffy eyes as more tears form in her eyes. "I hate him, Stefan." she cries, Stefan kneels down next to her as Elena grips her shoulder tightly, "I hate him so much." she whimpers, pressing her cheek into Jeremy's head, as she cries. Stefan kisses her head in a brotherly matter, as the couple comforted her.
Then suddenly Jeremy jumps awake as he takes in a breath. Samathea gasp and looks down at him, brushing his hair out of his face, Elena grips his shoulder tightly as Stefan looks at him, griping his face in his hands, looking at Jeremy's eyes. "Is he okay?" Elena asks her boyfriend. Jeremy looks around as he takes in his surroundings, "He's okay, you're okay." Stefan said, letting go of him. Samathea wraps her arms around Jeremy holding him close to her
"He killed me, Damon killed me." Jeremy states, gripping onto Samathea's shoulder, "Shh, shh. It's okay, you're okay." she tells him, as tears stream down her cheeks. "You're okay, you're okay." she whispers over and over, Elena pulls the two into hug, Stefan just sigh and hung his head.

"What are you doing here?" Caroline ask her, Katherine walks up to her, "My name is Katherine and I was hoping you can give the Salvatore brothers a message for me." she tells her, Caroline groans. "What are you taking about, what message?" Caroline asks her, "Game on." she answers and covers Caroline's face with a pillow and smothers her.
Caroline struggles to fight back, but Katherine was too strong for her, Caroline grips onto the side for dear live, but her grip loosen as she ceased in her struggles then her hand drops down next to her. Katherine smirks at herself, placing the pillow back in it's place and struts out of the room and right how out the hospital with a sinister smile on her lips.
