‚I know what you're going to ask, Damon,' Katherine said. ‚And I know my answer.'

Damon came close to her and cupped her face.

She looked him in the eye while she said: ‚I left you, because I wanted to save you. If I had stayed, you would've been killed. But I've always loved you Damon. I still love you. I thought you didn't want me anymore, but I've missed you so much. I came back for you.'

Damon stared at her. He had longed for these words and hearing her say it, made him more happy then he had ever been.

Katherine searched his eyes for something and saw his joy. She smiled and crushed her lips into his.

‚I'm here for you, Damon,' she whispered. ‚As long as you want me to stay, I'll stay.'

'I want you to stay forever,' Damon said, while he stroke her hair.

'I love you, Damon,' Katherine whispered.

'I love you, Katherine, so much,' Damon said before kissing her passionately. ‚' And I always will.'


Elena was worried about Damon. She hadn't see him since she told hem she'd never kiss him back and that was like two days ago. And when he fed Caroline his blood, but he had been distant and cold towards her. Although she was in love with Stefan, she still cared for Damon. And maybe even more than that…

She shook her head, trying to remove that thought. 'Keep calm,' she said to herself while she drove to the Bording House. But she wasn't calm at all. She was wondering if Katherine was the reason why she hadn't seen Damon. That thought made her slightly jealous, but it also scared her. Damon was doing so well, but she was afraid Katherine would have a bad influence on him.

She shighed, parked her car and stepped out. Nervously she walked up to the door. Before she could knock, the door flung open.

Damon looked at her, slightly irritated.

'What are you doing here, Elena?' he asked. 'Stefan isn't her,' he added.

She felt a little hurt by his cold tone, but she tried to keep her face blank when she said: 'I wanted to see you.'

'Why?' said Damon. 'So you can tell me again how you would never kiss me back?' He shook his head. 'Not that I care, though.'

'Damon…' she said.

'Elena…' he said.

They looked at each other without saying anything. Elena sighed. 'Is Katherine here?' she asked.

Damon raised his eyebrows in surprise.

'Why do you want to know?' he asked. 'Do you want to talk to her?'

'I just want to know, Damon, ' she said, highly irritated.

He sighed. 'Yes, she's here.'

She frowned. 'Why?'

'Because I want her to be here,' he said, as if it was that simple.

'She betrayed you, Damon!' Elena spat. 'Why do you want her to be her?'

The words he then said, broke her heart.

'Because I love her.'

She felt the sting, although she didn't know why. She was in love with Stefan, right?

'Why do you love her?' she said, her voice soft. 'She's just using you. Damon.' She whispered his name, for once showing how much she cared about him.

His eyes narrowed. 'Don't pretend that you know anything about love, Elena. The only one you've ever loved is Saint Stefan, but normal people aren't perfect and they make mistakes.'

'So you think Katherine regretted that she left you?' Elena asked.

'I do,' said Damon.

'Than I guess I've nothing to say to you,' Elena said, while putting her chin forward. She tried to hold back her tears.

Damon sighed. 'I guess I've nothing to say to you, either.'

They stared at each other In silence. 'I'm going to Katherine,' Damon said. 'Have a nice day, Elena.'

Elena turned on her heels. 'Goodbye, Damon,' she said while walking back to her car.


Katherine had heared Damon's conversation with Elena and she felt a little jealous. She knew Damon loved Elena, but she also knew Damon would never leave her. When he returned back to his room, she sat on his bed, a smile plastered to her face.

'Hello, darling,' she said while walking towards him.

He smiled a genuine smile a kissed her.

'Are you okay?' Katherine asked him while stroking his hair.

Damon winked at her and laughed. She laughed with him.

Somethimes she felt truly sorry that she was lying to him. She did like him, yes, but she didn't want to spend eternity with him. She just was messing with him and his brother.

But she had a reason to mess with them; she needed something from them. Elena.

Although Stefan and Damon occurred to be enemies, she knew the would die for each other and she knew both brothers would die for Elena. And that was the problem; she needed Elena. She didn't want to run from Klaus anymore and when she handed him the Doppelganger, she would finally be free. But, to make sure her plan would work, she needed the Salvatore brothers at her side. And when they both loved her and hated each other and Elena, it wouldn't be that difficult to make sure that they wouldn't rescue their lives to save Elena.

And after Elena would've been sacrificed, she… Well, what would she do? She wasn't sure about her feelings. She liked Damon a lot, she felt comfortable and safe around him en he could make her laugh. She could be happy with him, but she wasn't sure if that was the life she wanted. And Damon was becoming soft.

Although, not as soft as Stefan is, she thought. But, she still cared about him. First make sure I'm safe, she thought. When I'm free, I'm going to sort out my feelings. And with that thought she bend forward and kissed Damon.
