All Is Fair in War

Katherine sat at the table with a smirk on her face as she looked onto the chessboard before her. The blond on the other side of the table had a straight face. The perfect mask. Katherine couldn't read her mind, each time she tired Jane would fill her body with pain. Jane's red eyes stared with amusement as Katherine tried to figure out her next move. They both knew that Katherine was bluffing but Jane wanted to watch, to see what would break the confident creature in front of her. Telling the truth that was all Katherine had got.

"I'm waiting."

Katherine looked up and frowned at her. Her brown eyes gleamed with annoyance as she tried to figure out a way to get out of this game. On the board she was clearly losing and it pissed her off. Jane's black knights were after her king and her pawns were just sitting on the side of Jane, mocking her. She let out a fake yawn and stretched,

"I'm bored."

Jane gave her a 'You're pathetic' look but it was quickly replaced with a bored look of her own. Katherine smirked, thinking that she gotten out of Jane's game but she was so wrong.

"Let's play nab the queen." Jane said in a bored tone

Katherine gave her a confused look.

"What kind of game is that?"

Jane stood up and grabbed both the black and the white queens from the table, holding them in each hand.

"It's just like it sounds. We take the queens and see which king comes first." Then Jane looked Katherine in the eyes, "But Katherine…you have two kings. What are you going to do?"

'Two Kings?'

Then she instantly thought of the Salvatore brothers. A smile spread on her face, thinking about seeing them swarm.

"Stefan will be my king in this game."

"What about your knight and queen?"

"Wait a minute, are you just making it up as you go?"

Jane gave an uncharacteristic laugh as she fell back into her seat and gave a look that said keep questioning me and see what will happen. But Katherine kept pushing it.

"What about your knight and queen?" Katherine snapped at her

"Edward is my king, Bella is my queen, and Jacob is my knight." Then she frowned and growled in a deep voice, "Snap at me again and I will snap your neck."

Katherine sat back into her seat, unfazed by Jane's threats.

"Damon is my knight and Elena is my queen. How do we play this game?"

"You're going to kidnap Bella. That is the first step, try not to get caught." She threw the white queen at her and Katherine caught it in her left hand

She looked at her hand and saw the white queen. She looked up and saw Jane holding the black queen by the tip. Jane's eyes showed a gleam of interest and it gave Katherine a bad feeling in the pit in her stomach. Jane looked at her and smiled,

"What about a wager?"

"Wager?"

Jane leaned forward in her chair in her chair and sat her elbows on the table, intertwining her thin fingers together as her red eyes seem to glow brighter. Warning signs went off in Katherine's head but she wasn't get scared off because of this twisted little girl. She wasn't going to back down from this.

"What is the stake?"

"Your life."
