Elena sighed as Katherine hung up the phone. What had being in love with a vampire gotten her into? Oh yeah, that would be danger. She wasn't planning on telling Stefan about Katherine forcing her to meet with her or well, kind of kidnap Elena because she knew if she didn't meet her something bad would happen. Not telling Stefan might make it more of a danger to herself, but as long as it kept everyone she loved safe, especially Jeremy. As she was walking out the door Elena grabbed her jacket and her phone. She slung her jacket over her shoulder quickly as she dialed Stefan's number.
"Hey can we meet up later? I had something come up." She explained to him as she was waking towards her car.
"Um, yeah. Is everything alright?" Stefan asked with concern coming through in his voice.
"Yeah, I just have some stuff to do for Jenna today that can't wait." She muttered knowing that was a lie.
"Sure, call me later. Okay?" He questioned making sure she heard him before they hung up.
"Alright, I love you Stefan." She proclaimed as she started thinking lieing to him was a bad idea.
"I love you too." He told her before hanging up the phone.
She couldn't get the thoughts of feeling bad out of her mind as she drove and drove. She wasn't quite sure where she was meeting Katherine, but she was waiting for the call or the crazy bitch to randomly find her...Elena knew she was in danger, but she didn't want Stefan being anywhere near Katherine, but if she didn't take protection with her, who knew what situation she could end up in? Elena quickly grabbed her phone...
"I need your help."
"Well hello to you too sunshine." Damon exclaimed in a sarcastic tone when he heard her voice.
"Damon, i'm not kidding. I need your help, but I can't talk about it over the phone. Meet me please...and don't tell Stefan." She explained with desperation dripping from every word.
"Where do you want me to meet you?" He asked sighing waiting for her to answer.
"Your old property." She explained knowing Stefan would never think to go there.
"I'll be there in a few minutes." He told her as he hung up the phone.
Elena wasn't sure if calling Damon was the most wise decision, but it was better than her going alone and she knew that. She hated lieng to Stefan and she hated having to ask for Damon's help behind Stefan's back even more, but she had no other choice. Elena quickly pulled upon the property seeing Damon's car there already. One thing Damon had going for him was being on time. Anytime Elena needed his help, he was there as soon as he could possibly get there. That wasn't a bad thing, but she knew that he didn't feel just friends toward her. Some days she wasn't sure what she felt for him, but in recent events, she knew she couldn't trust him. He almost killed Jeremy, if he wouldn't have been wearing the ring, her brother would be dead...and that wasn't okay with her. She parked her car and exited the vehicle in a slow manner because she didn't exactly know how to explain to her vampire boyfriends brother this his crazy vampire ex-girlfriend wanted to have a meeting with Elena and was forcing her to come.
"I need your help." She told him as she crept toward him.
"Yeah, you kind of already said that, what do you need my help with?" Damon said with the roll of his eyes and a sigh in such a charismatic manner she couldn't help but want to smile a little bit.
"Katherine called me." She bluntly told him.
"What!" Damon exclaimed not really knowing how to comprehend what he was hearing.
"She wants me to meet her. She told me it wasn't an option." Elena proceeded to explain.
"Why isn't Stefan helping you with this?" Damon questioned.
"I don't want him anywhere near her."
"That's understandable, she's already told him she's always loved him..." Damon let out not knowing if Elena had already heard that part of what Katherine had told the two Salvatore brothers.
"I don't exactly want to go alone, but I think she wants me to meet her alone." Elena told him as her phone began to ring.
"Is it her?" Damon asked.
Elena nodded and quickly answered her phone.
"Hello."
"Hello Elena. Have you cleared your schedule for today?" Katherine asked in a mocking manner.
"Where are we meeting?" Elena asked Katherine wanting to end the conversation as quickly as possible.
"The old church. You know where the tomb is. It's secluded there..." Katherine began to explain as she laughed a little bit with the words that were coming from her mouth.
"When?"
"Now." Katherine told her as she hung up the phone not giving Elena a chance to retort.
She wasn't quite sure what Katherine had planned for her, but she knew it probably wasn't anything good. Elena motioned for Damon to get in the car. She quickly got in the drivers side and started her SUV.
"We are meeting..."
"I know where we are meeting, you forget...vampire hearing." He quickly explained to her with a little bit of a laugh trying to lighten the mood a little bit.
"Okay, well please just be careful, Katherine is crazy." She told him knowing there was no way the mood was going to lighten,
"I know. I dated her."
