Because of the lovely reviews that I got, I decided that I would try to continue this thing. So here we go. :)
A/N: I'm not going to follow the storyline from season two exactly(Elijah being staked, Rose, How quickly Klaus shows up, etc.) so that the story flows a litte better, so you'll just have to bare with me, but it shouldn't be too different.
Elena opens the door to the Salvatore boardinghouse. "Stefan!" She called out. But no answer. He was probably still taking care of Elijah's body.
With the help of Alaric they had managed to stake Elijah, and because of it they all knew she was a vampire now and Katherine should be out of the tomb and free from Elijah's compulsion.
Elena had told Stefan and Damon that same day, but no one else. She just couldn't. She didn't want to see the looks on their faces when they found out she had gave in and became a vampire. Especially at Katherine's hand. Stefan and Damon had actually handled it really well, but she knew that a part of them had hoped she would become a vampire one day anyway so that they wouldn't lose her. And she didn't blame them, she would be just as selfish with anyone she loved.
She made it upstairs and heard water running in the shower. Damon. She knew it was probably a bad idea, but she opened his bedroom door anyway. When she walked forward though, she was instead greeted by long dark hair and a slim female body. Katherine.
Katherine turned around when she heard her. She smiled when she saw Elena. "Hello Elena." She cut off the water and ran a hand through her dark, wet hair.
Elena glanced away, feeling awkward looking at Katherine. "I was wondering when you were going to make your grand entrance."
Katherine walked a little closer. "You can look. You do know we have the same body right?"
Elena laughed a little and met Katherine's eyes. "Good point." It had been three days since Katherine had turned her, and she would never admit it, but she had actually kind of missed her. Something about Katherine made her calm and nervous at the same time, and she liked it.
"But do you have any clothes I could borrow? I really don't want to put that damn black dress on again."
"Yeah, sure. I'll go get them from Stefan's room."
She nodded. "Thanks."
As soon as Elena walked out she almost ran into Damon. He looked at the door and than back at her. "Who's in my room?"
Elena sighed.
"Elena."
"It's Katherine."
His eyes widened for a second and then he nodded knowingly. "Is that why we killed Elijah?"
"It's one of the reasons."
"Why are you doing this Elena? Katherine isn't going to help you. She's only going to manipulate you into getting what she wants. We need to put her ass back in that tomb."
Elena crossed her arms. "This is my decision Damon."
"And your newfound independence is going to get you killed. Aren't you scared that Katherine's just going to hand you over to Klaus to die when he gets here?"
"Of course I am. But at the same time I'm not." He raised an eyebrow. "I have you, and Stefan, and Bonnie, and Caroline, and Alaric, and maybe even Katherine to help fight. That's all we can do Damon, is fight Klaus. And even if we lose, at least we tried. That's one of the reasons why I became a vampire, I don't want to feel helpless anymore."
He just looked at her. "You're going to regret this later."
"I know."
He brought his hands up to Elena's face. "And you should know that I will choose you first no matter what. I will do everything I can to protect you."
Elena placed a hand on his chest. "I know."
"Well this looks cozy." Elena heard from behind her.
She jumped and put some space between her and Damon. She turned to see Katherine in only a small towel looking at her and Damon.
"Katherine." Damon said flatly.
Katherine smirked. "Hi Damon." She looked back to Elena. "I was just wondering what was taking so long, but now I know." She let her towel slip a little further down.
Damon rolled his eyes. "Just get her the damn clothes." Katherine and Elena smiled at each other. This was going to drive him crazy.
When Elena came back out Stefan was waiting for her in the hallway. "How did Damon take it?" He asked.
"A little better than I thought he would." Elena had decided not to tell Damon that Katherine was one of the reasons they were killing Elijah. He was always a little off when it came to her. "And he hasn't thrown her into a wall or anything yet, so I'll take that as a good sign."
Stefan laughed. "You still trust her?"
"She hasn't given me any reason not to yet."
"I know, but it's Katherine."
Elena sighed. "I know. But she wants Klaus dead just as much as we do, maybe even more."
"He wants to kill you Elena, I think I probably win that contest."
"I think we might be tied. But I should take these clothes to Katherine before she walks out here naked."
"Good idea." He quickly kissed Elena and then showed her which room Katherine was in.
Elena opened the door to find Katherine laying on the bed with the towel barely covering her. "Finally." She said when she saw Elena.
She moved toward her at vampire speed and grabbed the clothes. She dropped the towel and was dressed before Elena even knew what was going on.
Katherine giggled when she saw the look on Elena's face. "You haven't been using your vampire tricks have you?"
"No, not really. I'm still adjusting."
"How have these past three days as a vampire been treating you?"
"It's definitely different."
"Mhm." She grabbed Elena's hand. "I see that witch bitch made you a ring."
"Yes, Bonnie did."
"Sorry. I'm just not really a fan. And isn't she totally anti-vampire?"
"Well she definitely doesn't like them, but I can't really blame her. They've caused a lot of problems for her, and now she has to find a way to deal with Klaus. It must really suck."
Katherine walked back over to the bed and sat down on one side. She gestured for Elena to sit on the other. "I'd hate to be a witch. Having to restore the balance of nature and blah, blah, blah." She glanced over at Elena. "I'd probably hate me if I was a witch."
"Well I'm not a witch, and I still hate you."
"Hey!" Katherine pushed her. Elena pushed her back hard enough to almost knock her off the bed. Katherine grabbed Elena's neck with one hand and pushed her down so that she was on top of her. She bared her fangs and fought back a laugh as Elena did the same thing.
"It's a good thing I like you." Katherine said as her face returned to normal.
"Ooo, I'm so scared."
Katherine leaned down and brought her lips to Elena's ear. "You should be."
Elena felt the same shiver run through her body again and mentally cursed herself for Katherine having that affect over her.
Katherine only smiled and rolled back to the other side of the bed.
The door barely opened and suddenly Elena felt the bed sink beside her. She looked over to meet Damon's blue eyes. "Damon?"
"What are we doing here? Having a sleepover?"
Katherine rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah, because I totally do sleepovers."
He smirked. "You used to."
"Ew!" Elena hit his arm.
"Jealous Elena?" Damon turned toward her.
Elena grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer. "Oh yes Damon. Please take me now." She got only inches from his lips and then pushed him back. Katherine laughed.
"You know," He pointed a finger at her. "I really like you as a vampire."
The door opened again and Stefan came in. His eyes surveyed the bed. "What, are you guys doing?"
Damon put his arms behind his head. "We're having a sleepover Stef. Wanna join?"
Stefan hesitantly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed beside Elena. Damon smiled. "Aw. Isn't this cute."
"Ok, I'm leaving." Stefan stood and held out a hand to Elena. "Want to come?"
"Yes." She took his hand. She let go and paused in the doorway though. She looked at Damon and Katherine. "I am a vampire now though and I can hear everything, so could you guys just not do anything?"
Katherine and Damon smirked and looked at each other at the same time. She rolled over and started to kiss him deeply and he ran his fingers through her hair and pulled her closer.
"Oh my god! You guys!" Elena turned her head away.
Katherine pulled away and they both burst out laughing. "Don't worry." She smiled. "But the same goes for you." She pointed to her ear and than winked.
Katherine pulled herself up from the bed and brushed her body against Elena's in the doorway. "Goodnight Elena." She purred.
Elena let out a breath and tried to push back the thoughts that she could actually have feelings for this person. There was no way. But still she couldn't help herself as she watched Katherine walk down the hallway and wondered what it would be like to just follow her instead.
As you guys can probably tell, I'm leading up to some interesting stuff happening between Katherine/Elena. ;) Could Klaus coming change everything? Thanks for reading, and I love hearing from you guys, so please keep reviewing! :)
