AN: A little something that has been plaguing my mind. Enjoy and remember to review if you can. It helps me know if I am on the right track and it helps others know that it's worth reading. xoxo


Damon sat around the boarding house feeling morose. For the last couple of weeks he had done nothing but drink, wallow and wait. Drink expensive bourbon or whisky. Wallow in misery. Wait for her, always her, the one he would die and kill for. He ran his hand over his face feeling pathetic and so very whipped by the latest Petrova doppelganger.

Katherine had asked him once how it was possible that a little human teenager had him so wrapped around her little finger. He was, after all, much much older and experienced than her. With venom, Damon had replied that Katherine herself had once had her mind clouded by a teenager too. Love did such things to you they had agreed, make you act like a happy imbecile as Damon put it.

Stefan sat around the boarding house feeling morose. For the last couple of weeks he had done nothing but think, wallow and wait. Think about all he had done. Wallow in misery. Wait for her, always her, the one he felt slipping through his fingers. He ran his pen over his diary pages feeling pathetic and so powerless to secure the latest Petrova doppelganger's love.

Katherine had asked him once how it was possible that he couldn't see what a cheap substitute Elena was for her. He was, after all, certainly in denial she declared disdainfully. With conviction, Stephan had replied that Katherine had never loved him or him her and that she was the substitute that would never compare.

Elena sat around her house feeling morose. For the last couple of weeks she had done nothing but drink, wallow and think. Drink blood from Tumper to human, from bagged to spiked. Wallow in misery for her death, for her vampirism, for her heart. Think of what should have been, of what could have been, of what was, of what would be and, above all, of them, the brothers that gnawed at her heart and soul.

Katherine had asked her once if she liked having both Salvatore's worship at her altar. She was outraged at the accusation, but now she could see how right her doppelganger had been.

"It's ok to love them both." – Katherine had tossed in her face.

Elena wondered how it was possible that a little human teenager like her had both men so intent of having her. They were, after all, much much older and experienced than her. With sadness Elena admitted that Katherine was right. She did love them both and that love did such things to you, making you act like a happy and selfish imbecile and hurting everyone in the process.


AN: A small start :)
