"Dear Diary,
Should I feel ashamed, glad, relieved or maybe even grateful that Stefan tortured and then took the life of someone? Who in essence was in fact already dead but yet still a living person? Because after all; he was trying to kill me and even made a sport of it, all due to my resemblance to Katherine...Or should I feel ashamed for even contemplating the mere importance of my life over another? I don't know....
I...I...don't know WHY Katherine seems so important? ...Why mere men and even the undead still seem to care? .... Why after 145 years she still has the effect of charming men to do her will? Her men... Yes I know she and all vampires have the ability to compel but he's been waiting for a lifetime to get her back.....Should I really betray his trust; when it seems now Damon may be...starting to trust us again...Me and Stefan that is....Not me and....No, that thought is not even conceivable...Even if there may be an...Understanding between us...Only an understanding between us. I would never betray Stefan.
Yet I'm going to betray Damon. Maybe....Maybe I'm more like my ancestor then I would like to... admit.
But I'm not Katherine...I'm Elena who would never betray someone I care about...Right?
