"What?"

"You either stay here, or take me with you." The younger brunette repeated with finality.

"Elena, I'm not just gonna take you away from your family and friends here."

Elena paused, but only for a second. "Well, then stay. Stay here and we'll defeat Klaus together."

Katherine raised an eyebrow. "And the ripper?"

"We'll...help Stefan, we're not killing him."

The eldest sighed, shaking her head once more. "Elena, you understand that this could get you killed. Klaus is extremely dangerou-"

Elena stepped into the vampire's space once again. "I don't care, I won't lose you again."

Katherine didn't meet her loves eyes and Elena rolled her own, before gripping the vampire's chin lightly, making her. "And so help me god Katherine Pierce, if you say you don't deserve me one more time..." She sighed. "You say I deserve the best but so do you, and you're it for me, okay? And I know you hurt me, Kat but that's life, two people who love each other hurt each other...that just makes their bond that much stronger."

Katherine ran an exasperated hand through, wavy locks. "This is a really bad idea, Elena."

"I don't care, please...Kat, please stay."

The vampire growled in frustration at her own lack of self-control around her mirror self. "Fine." She bit out.

Elena sighed of relief, but out of her exhilaration, she leaned up and placed a soft kiss onto the vampire's lips before pulling away. After a second though, as if finally realizing what she'd done, she looked up at the vampire somewhat nervously.

Frozen in shock only momentarily, Katherine blinked and open her mouth to say something before closing, and then a tiny almost obscure cocky-smirk appeared on her features, trumping her own confusion and nervousness.

Elena stood, still in shock, obviously not realizing the vampire's very pleased expression. "Katherine, I-I-

Katherine's smile broadened. "You are such a trouble magnet, you know that?" She leaned in closer, smashing her lips against the other girls in a surprisingly gentle kiss and after a second Elena kissed back with the same amount of gentleness before she pulls away. "I don't even know if it finds you or you find it anymore." She searches the younger girls eyes.

Now it was Elena's turn to smirk. "Well, you found me, didn't you?"

"Whats that supposed to me?"

Elena only closed the distance between their lips, once more for a quick kiss this time before pulling away with a small smile, giving the vampire a knowing look. "You are trouble."

Katherine winked before quickly spinning the girl around so that she was pinned up against the tall tree behind her. "D*mn right." And she leaned back in...

"Wait."

Katherine paused, her lips centimeters away from the girls own and rose her eyebrows.

"Earlier i heard voices in my head...that was you, wasn't it?" The human's eyes narrowed at the vampire who had suddenly backed away, features innocent.

Elena hit her in the shoulder, but didn't pull out of her grasp. "Why didn't you tell me you could do that? I thought I was going crazy, hearing your voice in my head like that!"

Katherine let out a laugh and Elena huffed, tempted to hit the vampire upside the head this time.

"S-sorry, it was just really fun to mess with you."

Elena rolled her eyes. "It always is." She smiled, pushing the vampire away from her. "Now, come on." She grabbed the brunette's hand, pulling her along.

Raising a confused eyebrow but not resisting, the fanged-doppelgänger laced their fingers. "Where are you going?"

"We have to go and get Damon."

The eldest doppelgänger immediately let out a loud groan. "Ugh! Why?" She nearly whined. "I should snap that bastards neck for leaving you alone."

Elena gazed over her shoulder at the vampire. "Calm down, Katherine. He hasn't left my side for almost eight months. I practically had to push him out the door earlier."

"Yeah well, he's still dead when I see him...again." She stopped the girl in her tracks, grabbing her by her middle from behind and hugging her.

Elena smiled, leaning back into the vampire's arms perfectly content.

She had missed this.

Katherine smiled , pulling the girl closer to her body.

She'd missed this.

"And just what do you think you're doing, Ms. Petrova?" The youngest doppelgänger teased in a fake English accent, leaning back to stare up into the vampire's eyes.

The vampire's eyebrows rose. "Well we're heading to the Salvatore boarding house, are we not Ms. Gilbert?" She teased back in the same accent.

"...yes." The human replied, albeit confused.

"Well I'm getting us there, a little faster." She tightened her arms around her and Elena's eyes widened at the thought.

Smirking a bit slyly at the teenagers expression, Katherine leaned forward placing a sweet kiss on the tip of the girls nose. "You trust me?" Her eyes didn't leave identical ones of her own.

"With my life, though it's never my choice..." Trailing off but seeing the look in the vampire's eyes and her grip falter, Elena couldn't help but laugh lightly. "I'm kidding Kat, of course I trust you."

Katherine sighed in relief. "Good." She tightened her grip on the brunette once again, leaning down to whisper in her ear. "Cause I got you, now close your eyes."

Elena's body quaked, closing her eyes, her eyes squeezing shut having nothing to do with the vampire's advice. As for Katherine, she'd really meant to respect the girls privacy but couldn't help snorting at her inner thoughts.

For a goodie-goodie, those are some very non-G-rated thoughts going on up there, aren't there Elena?

The younger doppelgänger's breath hitched.

Katherine leaned even closer. "You're forgetting I can hear you, Ms. Gilbert."

"Oh God..."

And with that the two sped off into the night, ready to face whatever obstacles surfaced at the Salvatore home.
