Katherine gazed her glance over Elena, who was being coddled by Stefan on the couch in the living room. His protective arm was around her identical waist. Elena was fast asleep. Stefan was reading an old looking book, but would occasional look over it to look at Katherine's analyzing eyes.
"Whatcha looking at?" A whisper came from behind her. After being on the run for so long, always looking behind her back, she had finally calmed her senses and was well-aware of the man behind her would not think of hurting her, unless he was looking for a very interesting fight.
Katherine turned to face two crystal blue eyes. "Nothing interesting," she apathetically responded. She turned to walk away from the couple's sight, and froFm Damon's intense stare.
But Katherine's attempt to get away from Damon was futile. Damon closely followed behind her knowing that her interest in the couple was worth delving in, since there was nothing else to catch his attention since they took out Klaus. No more 'bad guys' were after their sweet Elena. "Their lovey doveyness is irritating, huh?"
She grabbed a leather jacket from the coat rack. "Sorry Damon, but I'm not going to help clear your loneliness. Where's that news reporter girl that you compelled? Shouldn't she be enough to satisfy your needs?"
"Well, I gave her the day off. Plus, repeat performances are starting to get dull."
She turned around to face him. "Well then I guess you wouldn't want me then right?"
Damon's crystal eyes darkened. "I'd rather die than be with you again, Katherine."
She gave out a slight chuckle. "But you can't stop wanting my looks, right Damon?" she provoked in a harsh whisper. He caught her throat in a harsh manner slamming her to the wall. He glowered at her tightening expression. "Of course, noble Damon keeps it to himself because he knows it'll never happen."
He thrusted her, harder, against the wall, almost leaving a crack on it. "Don't you ever bring that up again!" he whispered harshly through his gritted teeth.
Katherine's eyes seemed dull, as if this was already played out. Indeed it has, far too many times in her eyes. She grabbed his hand and used her superhuman strength to throw him down to the floor in a submission. He winced on the new sensation. She bent down to his ear, still holding his arm in the utmost uncomfortable manner and whispered, "Damon, I'm just stating the obvious. Stop hoping for something that will never happen."
She let him go and approached the door. As she was about to leave the Salvatoree's house, or Elena's newly acquired house, Damon yelled out to her as he inspected his injured arm, "Where do you think you're going?"
"Out." She vanished.
Stefan left Elena's side to be at Damon's. "What was that all about?"
Damon looked over to his brother. "Nothing, it was nothing. Where do you think she's off to?"
Stefan observed the open front door. "Oh just leave her alone, Damon. Everything is over, and she is more than capable of handling herself." He kept his gaze out the door and finally decided to close it. Damon quickly snorted in response to Stefan's observation.
That next morning Caroline had called an emergency meeting to the Salvatoree's house. Damon, Stefan, Elena, Alaric, Jenna, John, and Caroline were waiting for Jeremy and Bonnie to arrive. Everyone scanned their surroundings and Elena made a quick observation. "Where's Katherine? Should we wait for her?"
"Who cares?" Damon quickly shot up.
Elena looked at Stefan for an answer. He merely shrugged unknowingly. The Salvatore brothers did not see or hear of Katherine after she left that night.
Bonnie and Jeremy opened the door and rushed in. "What took you guys' so long?" Caroline asked.
"Traffic. So what's the emergency Caroline?" Bonnie spoke.
"Yah, what is it?" Stefan asserted.
"Please don't tell me it's another I-hate-dopplegangers-so-let's-kill-Elena group." Damon interjected. Everyone gave him a 'are you serious' look. "What! Just trying to lighten up the mood."
"Well it's not specifically towards Elena this time around. Remember that pack of werewolves Tyler went with?" There was a silent agreement in all of them that they did recall the incident with the werewolves. "Well, Ms. Lockwood told my mother she got a note from Tyler saying he's coming back with some people to help clear out the 'vampire infestation!'"
"Are you serious?" Elena exclaimed.
"Wait, the Lockwoods know about the vampires?" Jenna butted in.
"Can someone fill her in!" Damon added.
Alaric went closer to Jenna and whispered into her ear, "I'll tell you more about it later."
"So wait, Caroline, how did you figure this out?" Bonnie asked.
"Ms. Lockwood gave the note to my mom and she left it on her desk at home and I just happened to be glancing over her desk looking for some money and found that instead."
"Great, so did it say when he was coming back? Or how big of a pack he's bringing with him?"
"It said more than 60 of them… and no it didn't."
"Crap! Where'd they gather that many? Did they just pop them out like a litter or something!" Damon added.
"Damon, calm down. We need to figure out what we're going to do. They obviously don't want a peace treaty, nor does the town." Stefan pointed out the obvious.
"No really brother?"
"Guys! Stop it!" Elena shouted. "This isn't the time to be fighting each other."
"Yah guys might as well save it for the real fight." Jeremy said.
"I think I have an idea." Everyone turned towards the familiar voice that was near the front door.
