Previously on the vampire diaries:
"What was the big emergency then?" Stefan asked from behind me.
"Hmmm, well there's no easy way to explain this but basically Katherine's out of the tomb."
"Wait what!" I shouted.
Elena's POV
The atmosphere was suddenly quiet and slightly awkward. I looked at Stefan, he was motionless and his eyes were closed. I turned towards Damon; his blue eyes caught mine and held them in a trance, before I spoke again.
"Damon how did you find out about this?"
Damon sighed "I was sitting on the couch when suddenly she appeared in front of me."
Flashback:
"Damon it wasn't very nice of you to leave me in the tomb like that," Katherine said whilst pouting.
"Well when I did it I assumed you would stay in there," Damon replied. "By the way how did you get out of the tomb?"
She giggled, "That's for me to know and you to find out."
"Tell Stefan to meet me at hotel and dining tonight, he knows which one, I'll be waiting." Katherine said before disappearing as quickly as she appeared.
End of flashback:
I turned to Stefan with a questioning look; he stared back at me with an almost apologetic look.
"Stefan you can't possibly go" I stated.
He eyes drifted to the floor, purposely avoiding my gaze.
"Stefan you can't, this is exactly what she wants."
"I'm sorry Elena," Stefan whispered.
"Stefan no, please" I begged.
He began walking towards the door; I looked at Damon for support he nodded.
"Stefan think about it for a minute will you," Stefan turned around look directly at Damon "How do you know that the moment you walk in there she isn't going to stab you with a steak, hmm?"
Stefan looked at the floor again, deep in thought. I ran over to him and brought his face to mine
"Just please think about it, we'll discuss it tomorrow."
He nodded. I took his hand and led him to his bedroom; I turned swiftly to Damon and mouthed a thank you. He nodded solemnly before returning back to his drink.
"You know" I thought "Damon isn't such a bad a guy after all." I smiled before opening the door of Stefan's bedroom. I led him to the bed and then snuggled into his chest. I closed my eyes after a while then fell asleep.
Katherine's POV
"I love this bed and breakfast," I thought to myself as I curled my last few strands of hair. I put the curler down and then put my rings back on. I was about to go paint my nails, when I felt a strong presence in the room which I knew could only belong to Stefan.
"You know it's rude to go into someone's room uninvited." I said.
"Never stopped you," he replied instantly.
I smiled then turned around; he was just as handsome as I remembered. He was only wearing a grey t-shirt, black trousers and shoes but there was something about him that always drew me in.
"Disobeying Elena are we?" I asked sarcastically.
He smiled and then walked towards me until our faces were only inches apart.
"How did you get out of the tomb?" he asked.
My lips curved up into a smile again
"You know that was the same question your brother asked, and just like him you're going to get the same response, so don't even bother trying."
"I guess I should go then" he said emotionlessly.
"Wait Stefan" I spat out "I can't tell you how I got out, but I can tell you why."
"Why?" he asked dramatically.
"I got out because I love you, always have always will."
He chuckled, and then went to go open the door to leave. I pulled him back to face me, when suddenly our faces were again only inches apart, except this time I didn't hesitate.
"I love you Stefan."
I crushed his lips and immediately felt an incredible amount of passion flowing from him to me. I wrapped my arms around his neck completely forgetting where I was. Suddenly he pulled away.
"I can't do this to Elena, I'm sorry," he said his eyes full of lust.
"Stefan, you and I both know Elena only really loves Damon."
He shook his head,
"That may be so Katherine, but I love her."
I growled quietly before kissing him again this time more ardently. I felt him kissing back and then his arms engulfed around my waist. I smiled into the kiss and led him to my bed.
Damon's POV (short)
I gasped as I heard Katherine and Stefan kiss for the second time. I didn't want to hear anymore so I ran quickly back to the boarding house. I knew following Stefan would pay off. I opened Stefan's bedroom door to check on Elena, she was sleeping peacefully. I kissed her forehead and then saw her smile, she looked like an angel. I felt sorry for her, there was too much heartbreak in her life, do I really want to cause her more pain by telling her about Stefan and Katherine? Would she even believe me? Why won't she admit she loves me, I would, she's my life now. I sighed and then sat in a chair opposite her, waiting for Stefan.
