Damon was sitting in Stefan's room waiting for him to come home. As he sat at his desk he noticed an old book that he hadn't seen in a very long time. The cover of the book was leather and smelt like dust and mould. On the spine of the book the numbers 1864 had been branded. Damon though about putting the book down and moving on as if he had never seen it, but part of him needed to see what was inside. He opened the book about half way, and on the top of the page it said, Septmeber7th 1864- The founders ball. As Damon skimmed over the lines written in Stefan's print he came across his name. Katherine had chosen me over Damon; she had asked me to accompany her this evening. You could tell that Damon was hurt, that he wanted to be the one who got to escort her down the stairs and lead her to the court yard. You could see the pain in his eyes. But I was happy and I was in love. Yes, I am in love with her. She is everything I will ever look for. She is strong and beautiful and above all she is mine, not Damon's.
Damon could feel it in his chest, the instant burn that reminded him of all the pain that Katherine had put him through. The way she played cat and mouse with him and Stefan, and would always choose Stefan, Katherine always chose Stefan. Even on the last night of her "existence" she chose to be with Stefan. For some reason Damon felt the need to get her back, he felt the need to rub it in her face that he was happy without her.
Damon placed the diary back where Stefan had left it, as he heard him coming up the stairs.

"You know you really shouldn't touch other peoples stuff", Stefan said as he entered the room.

"You know you really shouldn't keep secret from your girlfriend", retorted Damon.
"How do you even know, wait , you met Elena?", Stefan was beyond confused, and realising that he was screwed if Damon had in fact met Elena, since he sort of left out the brother part.

"I can see why you are so fond of her, she does have a striking resemblance to other brunette we once knew." Damon took a few steps forward and passed Stefan a picture of Katherine. The resemblance was scary; they had the same dark feature and button nose. The only major difference was that Elena's hair was pine straight where as Katherine's was perfectly crimped. "Stefan, did you really expect me to come to town and not try and stir up some sort of trouble for you. You really thought I was just here to get Katherine out of that tomb? Huh, well I am, I plan on getting Katherine out of the tomb and having her fall back in love with you all over again... then we will see how well you and Elena get along. Try explaining that one to her. 'Oh hey Elena I would like you to meet my long-lost-girlfriend, by the way she is a vampire, oh yeah and you're her doppelganger." You could tell by the look on Stefan's face that he was scared; he knew he would have to explain things to Elena eventually but he never knew that he would be blackmailed into it. As Damon walked to the front of the room her said "you better watch your back, brother, and by the way I'm dating her best friend, and she knows everything."

The full moon was hovering low in the sky as Damon pulled into Caroline's drive way. He could tell her mother wasn't home by the lack of police cruiser in the driveway. Damon made his way up to Caroline's window, in the distance he could hear the shower running. He let himself in, and took a seat by the window. He could hear Caroline singing from the shower and smiled to himself. The water shut off and he could hear Caroline continue to hum. The bright light of them moon left Damon as an almost perfect silhouette and Caroline lost her breath before she could realise who it was.
"Damon! What are you doing here!"
"What do you think?"
"Well I don't know but one of these day my mom is going to hear you." Caroline may have been over reacting, Damon was pretty stealthy and breaking and entering.
"Caroline, please, I'm a vampire I think we are safe." Damon said with a cute smirk.

"Okay, well then maybe she will hear me", as a wide grin took over her face.

"You know the panties weren't really necessary", as Damon picked Caroline up and threw her on the bed. She let out a soft moan. Within second Damon's lips were all over her and soon his teeth where at her hips. The panties didn't last long. Damon slid his lips from her belly button to her neck. "You smell, amazing", Damon was losing control and Caroline didn't have care in the world. As much as Caroline loved Damon's lead she wanted to show him how in charge she could be. So she took hold of his shoulders and made her way on top. They kissed passionately, Caroline slid her lips to his neck, "how 'bout I be the vampire this time", as Caroline sunk her dull human teeth into Damon's thick skin. Damon laughed; her bite tickled more than it hurt. Even though Caroline wasn't very strong she managed to break the skin, and a think dark liquid leaked down Damon's neck. "Wanna taste?" Damon breathed. With that Caroline opened her mouth and began sucking on Damon's neck, she felt the blood pulsing from Damon's veins to her own. The blood gave her the strength to keep up with Damon for the rest of the evening.
