I was inspired to write this story while listening to the song Never Say Never by The Fray. The lyrics of the song are in ITALIC form and ARE NOT BOLD. Anyways, enjoy :)

Never Say Never – The Fray

In life there are many special yet terrible things to experience, especially if you're a few centuries old. Good and bad. Things we don't talk about, things we rather do without and things we all try to relive. Precious memories and moments we hold on to so dearly can bring both joy and misery for us. Either way, good or bad, it will always follow us for all eternity.

Well, we haven't officially met but I'm Katherine and this is my story of how I fell for the one human I was positively hell bent on absolutely torturing before killing her. If your slow brains haven't figured it out yet, the human I planned on killing is my doppelganger, Elena Gilbert. She was human until just recently but either way, you'd be surprised by how my perfect plan, totally flawless, came shattering down into a gazillion pieces because of the one thing I never thought could ever happen. I fell for her. Its the stupidest mistake I've EVER made but I'm glad I did anyway.

Katherine's POV

I'm not one to play by the rules but in all honesty I really disliked my doppelganger Elena Gilbert. I wouldn't say we're 'family' because there is a solid 500 years of generations, a huge gap I will add, between me and Elena. We're hardly related even though she's the spitting image of me. Even if we were related, it wouldn't have any significance to my opinion of her. My impression and judgement of Elena boring Gilbert would still be the same. I hate her and it's not going to change even after 5000 years. It never will.

I despised her for several good reasons. Actually, there are numerous reasons why I hated the stale bitch. What's not to hate of that pathetic attention whore Elena? She stole the Salvatores from me! I must say, my pitiful doppelganger is quite lucky. The only reason they liked her is because of me. She got their attention because she looked similar to me!

Ugh. Moving on. Despite what I've been making everyone seems to think, I have numerous more important things to tend to than woo the Salvatore brothers. If I wanted them for real, there would be no trying at all. They would be mine the second I set my mind to it. Although somewhere deep down, I've always thought they could do better than that. Oh well, down under all that muscle and godlike abs, they're still my boy toys. They won't admit it but they know it's true. I can play with them whenever I wished to.

Plus, my dull as dishwater doppelganger Elena has the worst taste! Except in men apparently. Her plain Jane style with that over the top goody toe shoes act is annoying as hell. The clothes she wears makes her look like a nun! A little piece of advice, if you've got curve as gorgeous as mine, stop covering and start flaunting those curves! If anybody sees her and thinks its Katherine Pierce instead of Elena Gilbert my reputation as the sexiest vamp could potentially go down. No way in hell am I letting that happen of course.

That's not all. Elena dearest didn't stay dead like she was supposed too. Instead, the dull bitch woke up and got immortality because of her doctor friend. Am I mad that Elena is a vampire? Well I can't say I'm delighted by the news of her being a vampire, but mad? Please don't flatter yourself. My anger is saved for people I think are worth my time and thought. Whether Elena is in danger or on the verge of dying isn't something I'm the least bit concerned about. The saying 'get your priorities straight'? Yeah well I know my priorities and Elena isn't one of them. No matter, the fact that she's alive as a vampire right now will be an exception to add on to the long list of reasons I disliked the bitch.

My reasons could very well go on for another few more decades but I'm not going to waste my time, however much I have of it on worthless things I couldn't care less about a.k.a Elena. Now that she's completed her transition, it's time for me to step in and end her. Can't have her running around forever with that pathetic excuse of a life. She looks like me and irritates me. It's a solid reason to kill her and I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere so why not?

My plan to kill her now that she's a newbie has to be perfect. I'll make this my best plan ever. It will be similar to the plan back in 1864 when I faked my won death but this plan would be bulletproof. I'll make sure there are no loose ends. I wont make the same mistake twice. Anyone who gets in the way or my plan, my way too, would be eliminated straight on the spot. I'll make it rain blood before I let anyone or anything destroy my plan. The plan to kill Elena, the last Petrova since Tatia would be indestructible.

My plan to kill her will start with a smile. I'll make her fall for me first. This shouldn't be hard considering her emotions are heightened by a thousand times. Then when she's head over heels for me, I'll make her ashamed of herself while I stand by proud of my achievement. I mean who could resist me? Men and women both drool over me when I flirt with them. Have I ever kissed a girl? I've done much more than kiss the opposite sex. Men aren't the only one I had to seduce in order to get what I wanted. It'll be easy. I'll give her a heartbreak she'll never forget. We'll do dirty things everywhere and anywhere at any time and she'll enjoy it. I'll make sure she does because when the guilt comes, she'll regret ever coming back to life.

This is just the foundation of my plan. For it to work perfectly like how I expect it to work will take tons of patience and tolerance. Tolerance is something my sexy personality lacks. I want her dead dead, not living dead but I also want her to suffer first. Death is to simple. To do that, I've got to keep my temper in check.

Other than that, I'll need to make a cover story to my sudden appearance and interest in Elena. Damon and his Scooby gang are very protective when it comes to little Elena and her safety. Now that she's a newbie, the dull bitch is treated like she's the fucking queen of everything, as far as the eye can see kind of queen! To prove my point, you know the saying the walls have ears? Well I've got a tip that Damon and Stefan NEVER leaves her side. She's surrounded by them 24/7/365.

It'll be tough trying to woo her with those back stabbing bastards hanging around. I need to get near her so I can start flirting with her is the main problem. Maybe I can give the excuse she's in danger again and as her doppelganger I 'want' to protect her. BINGO! I'll create a diversion and put her in great danger only to save her from it. It'll need excellent timing and a god damn good distraction to keep the Salvatores and her pesky friends occupied while I 'protect' her for that distraction. I'll need to play good cop in this event.

Afterwards, after a little bit of persuasion and some award winning acting skills, under her command I'll be her 'guardian angel' by default. Elena is a softy. She'll feel the need to repay my 'kindness' somehow and with a bit of suggestions, she'll thank me by letting me protect her. Not to mention, I'll need to cook up so affectionate lie though to really seal the deal. The Salvatores can't say a word when Elena makes up her mind. They know it and she does too. It's good to know she has at least a bit of Petrova blood in her system. She's shown the Petrova fire once but let's see how much she really does have shall we?

Next big step, be there for her emotionally. When all is crumbling I'll need to be there to steady her hand. She's still new to the whole vampire thing. I'll take this as my opportunity to 'help' her with controlling her bloodlust and other vampire urges like how horny she'll get. Look's like I might have to relive her sinful dreams when it gets too much for her. I have a feeling she's going to get all emotional on me too. Euw! She and her nasty humanity really disgust me. In conclusion, for my plan to work I'll need to be her 'best friend'. Her temper is pretty hot too so I'll need to keep a watch on that. I bet Blondie's the one she turns to the most when she feels like Stefan and Damon can't understand her. Obviously it can't be that other best friend the Bennett witch. So if I get Caroline out of the way, I'll get the position as her most trusted best friend. Nice!

From there, I'll get to attack her with huge blows she'll never see coming. Ugh! Hold up! I can't be Saint Katherine suddenly too. I need to balance being good and bad. Damon and Stefan will suspect something is amiss if I'm too nice and when they do, god help me they'll ruin everything! I will not tolerate having my plans ruin because of them! I've invested too much time to let it go to waste like that.

Therefore, I'll need to have this on and off relationship with Elena that shows we're pulling apart and coming together only to show that we're growing apart again. I'll need to keep them guessing but have Elena trust and believe in me to not leave her. I need to keep her hoping. I need to make her believe that I'll comeback for her after a fight because 'I love her'. Obviously I'm going to flirt and mess with her feelings while building that relationship with her. If I don't, it'll be too troublesome later on to make her feel guilty. It'll be possible but troublesome. Not something I want when dealing with such a delicate matter. Hence, I'll need to make her think I care for her from the very beginning but still keep up a badass attitude to not bring to much suspicion towards myself. Oh bliss.

Now let's see, foundation done and now to finish up this masterpiece. Distraction. Ugh. Where the hell is Klaus when you need him? I know he's in Tyler Lockwood's body but to strike a deal with him of all people so I can watch Elena suffer is not worth it. Plus he left Mystic Falls as soon as word got out that he wasn't dead. I'm not going anywhere near that bastard hybrid too. He'll end me the second he sees me or worse he'll make me suffer before killing me. Stupid asshole no good son of a bitch! Ugh who else. If that idiot Damon didn't kill Mason, I could have used him as my distraction right now.

. .

. . . . thinking . . . .

. . . . . . . searching . . . . . . . .

BINGO! Isobel and John! Hell yeah! They're a good enough distraction! Cha – ching! Katherine Pierce does it again folks!

Oh wait, they're dead too. Damnnit.

Alaric? Dead. Jules? Dead. Most of the werewolves? Dead. Thanks to Klaus, Damon and Stefan for that. Kol? Very hard to negotiate with but has potential. Elijah? Ugh don't get me started on all the reasons why it will never happen if I even asked him to help me. So that leaves bitchy needy Rebekah. Pros and Cons? Pros, she's alive and easy to manipulate. Cons? She's close to Damon. Hmm. That fact alone would and could stir up trouble. She'll definitely use it against me to getting something she wants. Unless.. "Oulala. Look at those luscious lips smirking back at me. Damn boy! I must have been smiling at him unconsciously. Cute blood bag for later when I'm bored."

As I was saying, I could use Rebekah but I'll need to involve her in almost everything I do. Just to keep her mouth shut really. There's no way she'll tell if she's the one helping too. I'll need to tie her down, connect her with everything I do. Therefore if the plan fails, she'll be in as much trouble as me too. She'll lose her fuck buddy Damon and I doubt she wants that to happen. He's too important to her. So distraction done, all I need to do is find Rebekah soon and figure out my cover story.

Cover story. Alright. "Dear Elena, I need you to put your trust in me so that later on I can make you feel guilty as ever before I kill you. Could you please be an angel and go along with this genius plan to make me happy? Yes? That would be great! See you around Elena!" HAHAHAHAHA. Worst cover story ever. Amusing but no.

Let's see, "Elena you're my doppelganger. As much as I hate you and believe me I do, I know what it feels like to loose everyone you care about. You're lucky because you still have a younger brother. I wasn't that lucky and lost every single fucking one of my family members. I'm not going to let history repeat itself, Elena. I would love to see you suffer, I really do, but you can get tortured some other way. I don't want to stand by and watch you get tortured by this cruel fate I'm facing now. We're the Petrova doppelgangers. We're cursed whether we like it or not and you did what I couldn't do. You ended the Petrova line. I'm going to help you Elena. Why? Don't get stupid thoughts and think I care for you one bit Elena. I'm only doing this because you remind me of Katerina Petrova, my naïve human self that got thrown into the supernatural world with no one to help her. I may be a psychotic bitch that flipped the switch but the moments I let my humanity in, you'd be surprised of what I would do. Let's just say, I'm letting my humanity show a little this time, only for you Elena. If I were you, I'd accept what I'm offering. You can always reject and say no Elena. I'll just flip the switch and ignore you totally." Impressive.

Emotional, touchy, affectionate, bitchy, harsh and seductive. The perfect combination to win her over and keep the Salvatores out of my hair. I've out done myself today. Bravo Katherine. Now that my perfect plan is done, looks like that cute blood bag sitting opposite the end of the bar is eager for some excitement. Perfect plan, a good fuck boy and a tasty treat all in one night? Well then, goodnight indeed.
