Katherine Pierce was her name. Who is Katherine Pierce you might ask? Well the answer is quite simple. She is the devil.

Two days earlier…

Stefan Salvatore had been watching his former girlfriend and brother kissing. It had taken him a few months to adjust to the fact that Elena and Damon loved each other. He had to learn to put his own feelings aside. Pretend his love for Elena had died out. And although he seemed to quite happy about their romance now, Stefan couldn't help it but wander. He'd only ever truly loved two women.

Elena Gilbert.

And the other, his first love, her doppelganger, was Katherine Pierce.

Stefan of course loved them each differently. With Elena the love he felt for her made he a better vampire. She brought out the light side in him. Helped through his ripper stage. Protected him from the witches. Hell Elena was even prepared to die for him. But even though they were together for over three years, something inside Stefan knew Elena's heart didn't exactly belong to him.

And then there was Katherine. Now her love consumed him. Through his human days right up until her death. Katherine was different than other woman he'd know. She loved being centre of attention. She loved dressing up. But most of all, till the day of death, Katherine truly loved him.

For some odd reason, Stefan missed her. It could be because of Elena and Damon's relationship, but then again, Stefan always found he could be himself with Katherine. She brought out the fun side of him. Granted it was a dangerous side, but like Elena, Katherine could help and control his hunger.

"Stefan you look miserable." Caroline Forbes spoke. Her perky nature and blonde hair annoyed Stefan.

"And as usual you Caroline Forbes are always smiling." Stefan said looking at the slender vampire.

"Ouch!" Caroline joked.

Stefan turned and looked back at Elena and Damon. "Don't you miss it?" Stefan asked looking back at Caroline.

"Miss what exactly?" She asked.

"Loving someone so much it consumes you?"

Caroline blinked. "Well not if the love consumes me."

Stefan let out a sigh. Caroline didn't understand. He placed his hands in his pockets and walked away.

"I need to escape!"

The room was cold and dark. The only light was a small hole. Katherine Pierce had died. But then for some unknown reason, she was brought back and was trapped inside what appeared to be a coffin. She tried to claw herself out. For a moment she stopped.

"Maybe I'm meant to suffer here for eternity." She mumbled.

"…we shouldn't be here Thomas…"

Katherine listened. There were people around. She started banging and screaming. Hoping they would hear her.

"Help!" She cried banging harder.

Katherine heard the girl speak. "I think there is someone buried inside there."

"Please help me!" Katherine cried once more.

She heard the pair above her. There was click and she listened as chains fell to the ground. Then another click on the coffin. When the lid was lifted, Katherine found herself staring at two faces.

"Are you alright?" Thomas (she presumed) asked.

"I'm…the sun…" She moaned feeling a burning feeling.

Thomas had lifted her up. He cradled her in his arms. Katherine retreated to the shadowed corner. Both Thomas and the girl he was with were staring at her. "Can we get you some water?" She asked.

Katherine looked at them. "I need something else." She said lunging forward.

All that was heard was the screams and cries of two people.

Elena was standing in front of a full length mirror. She long chocolate brown hair was brushed over her shoulders. Her doe brown eyes staring back at her. For the first time in her life Elena felt safe. She was happy. Since the death of Bonnie, Elena thought she could never bring herself to smile again. But Damon made sure she did. He looked after her. Promised her he'd never let fall into darkness again.

"You know what I don't understand?" Caroline said walking into Elena's room. Her blonde curls bouncing up and down as she walked.

Elena looked at her best friend. "What's that Caroline?"

"Men!" Caroline replied.

"Any man in particular?" Elena fished.

Caroline looked at her. "Stefan Salvatore."

Elena nodded her head. "The mysterious Salvatore brother."

"I don't understand why he just won't tell me what's on his mind?" Caroline said dropping down on Elena's bed.

"Caroline if there is one thing Stefan Salvatore taught me, it was patience." Elena joked dropping down beside her friend.

"I hate that he makes me feel this way." Caroline moaned turning to Elena. "I'm not supposed to love him Elena but I do."

Elena looked at Caroline. "I'm not supposed to love Damon but look at me."

"Leaving his heart broken brother behind." Caroline commented. Elena looked at Caroline. She was suddenly feeling guilty. Caroline noticed this. "I'm sorry Elena." She said taking her friends hand. "I didn't mean too."

Elena didn't say anything. She didn't have too. She turned and looked at ceiling.

Katherine had to wait until the night fell to escape. She had just finished putting on the dead girls jackets. "It will do." She moaned looking at her reflection in the blood. She glanced down at the two dead bodies. "It just had to be done." She said.

Katherine turned and looked outside. She stepped forward and out into the woods. She looked around. This all looked familiar. She continued to walk and stopped under the sign.

"You've got to be kidding me!" She moaned looking up at the sign which read "MYSTIC FALLS CEMETERY"

Katherine walked out the cemetery and started to make her way to the only place she knew would be safe, The Salvatore House. She smiled to herself knowing that both Damon and Stefan would be surprised to see her.

Stefan was sitting in the main lounge. He had a glass of whiskey in his left hand. His eyes glued on the fireplace.

"This is exactly the place I expected to find you." A familiar voice spoke.

Stefan immediately turned around. To his shock, Katherine Pierce was standing behind him.

"Katherine?" He said standing up.

"Oh Stefan you look as handsome as ever." She commented. She walked up to the table which held whiskey. She poured herself a glass and kept her eyes on Stefan.

"How are you alive?" He asked looking at her.

"I don't know." Katherine replied with an innocent smile. "But it feels good to be back."
