Katherine, the young woman, attacked the man's neck with hunger. Her body moved on top of his as if she was in sync with his blood flow.

As Katherine drank deeply, she suddenly felt her heart jolt. Something she hadn't felt since she was a human. She then knew something was wrong. All of a sudden, she felt a burning, sickening sensation coursing through her body.

As Katherine looked up in shock at the young man, Stefan, he asked with alarm, "What?"

"Vervain…" she choked.

"What?" he asked again.

All of a sudden, Katherine slid off of him onto the floor and didn't move as if she was paralyzed.

Stefan flew off of the bed immediately and knelt down beside her.

"Katherine! Katherine!" he yelled.

All of a sudden Stefan's father Giuseppe Salvatore came bursting through the door. "Go get the sheriff. Tell him we have a vampire."

Stefan glanced up at his father in fear and defiance. "What? No." he whispered.

"Do as I say son! Nothing you feel for her is real! She's a vampire Stefan! A monster! I fed you vervain hoping that it would expose her."

"How did you know?" Stefan whispered.

"Your sympathy for their plight. I didn't raise my sons to be so weak. The sheriff now! Go quickly! Now son!" he yelled angrily.

Stefan then got up and ran out the door.


Katherine's POV

Katherine couldn't move or breathe. She could barely even remember what had happened. The only thing she remembered was seducing Stefan and taking his blood. After that she remembered a terrible burning sensation and everything went black as she fell to the floor.

All she could feel right now, were a large set of rough hands holding down her body while another pair of hands held her head while something hard and metallic was shoved into her jaw and locked around her head.

All of a sudden, she felt her whole entire bodies being lifted off the ground by what she assumed were the same people who locked her jaw with the strong metallic contraption.

Just as she was being carried out the door, her vision and most of her senses began to come back.

Just then, she saw Damon, Stefan's eldest brother and her other lover, burst through the room screaming, "No! Don't take her!"

After that she couldn't see what was happening anymore because she was now being carried down the stairs and out the door.

Although she couldn't see anymore, her heightened hearing allowed her to hear somebody, probably Damon, being slammed up against a door, by what she assumed was his father Giuseppe.

"Are you crazy?!" he screamed. "If you're branded as a sympathizer than you will be killed along with them!"

"Then let me be killed!" Damon screamed before he ran out the door.
