Damon's eyes were the first thing I saw when I woke up. I sat up and rubbed my eyes and he chuckled at how tired I still was.

"You okay?" he asked, looking at me up and down.

I shrugged, not sure what to say; I'd had the dream again... And it freaked me out even more this time, but at least this time there weren't any tears. I blinked a couple times just to make sure. Yep, no tears... I concluded.

"You know you can talk to me if you need to." Damon said, putting his arm around me and kissing me on the cheek.

I sighed. Should I tell him? Does he somehow know? I made a face and looked down at the his beautiful sheets, still not knowing what to say.

"It's just..." I sighed. "The dream."

He kissed my cheek and groaned. "Okay, don't kill me but I peaked."

I stared at him feeling a bit angry at him all of the sudden for no reason at all.

"What do you mean you peaked?" I questioned him.

He closed his eyes and grabbed my head. "Like this..." he opened his eyes. "I peaked." he explained, giving me the most apologetic look he could give me.

I sighed. "Did you see it all?" I bit my bottom lip nervously.

He took a moment to reply, but took his hand away when he did. "I think so."

I just sat there, avoiding his gaze. I didn't know exactly what to say.

"Why do you think you're having those dreams?" he asked.

I shrugged. "I have no clue..." I looked into his eyes and began to cry. "I'm scared Damon. I know that you know I don't like Elena and usually in my right mind, that dream probably wouldn't have bothered me even the slightest, but it did. I feel like something is wrong. Something isn't right with me or...something. I don't know..."

I sobbed and he pulled me into his chest. I never felt so weak. Damon... the man who cried for me, was holding me now... and I was just helplessly sobbing into his chest.

"Don't you dare feel weak," he scolded me; it was like he'd read my mind, but I guess he just knew how I felt. "It's okay to cry. It doesn't mean you're weak Kat..."

We were a lot more a like than I had given thought. I've needed him all this time and I tossed him away because I was too stupid and wanted his brother.

I sniffled and wiped my eyes, lifting my head to kiss him. He kissed me back and cupped my face comfortingly with one hand and stroked played with my hair with the other. I just put my arms around him and hugged him close. I needed him... now and forever. I think I now choose Damon.

"Katherine!" I heard Damon's voice cry out.

There was a pain in my lower chest and I could feel something being pushed against it, like cloth and someone holding it there. I couldn't remember what happened, but I couldn't open my eyes no matter how much I tried. I wanted to see what was going on or at least look at Damon for some form of comfort, but my body wouldn't do anything I wanted to. It just lay there bleeding and in pain.

"What's going on?" I heard Stefan's voice and a gasp from Elena as they looked down at me probably.

"She passed out and blacked out while we were talking and fell onto the floor and not long after that, she started bleeding..." Damon explained. "I have no clue what's going on with her."

Damon ripped open my blouse again and tore a scrap off to stop my magical wound from bleeding. I felt another pair of hands on my body, Stefan's hopefully, and cried out from the sharp pain that came to me.

"I think it's a witch..." Stefan whispered.

A witch?! Who would be doing this to me and why? I wondered.

"Who would do this to her?" Damon asked his brother.

Elena laughed quietly to herself and Damon gave her an annoyed look. "What?" she whispered. "She's a monster..."

I can hear you... I mentally rolled my eyes. Damon just ignored her and kept holding pressure on my still bleeding wound.

"It won't stop bleeding..." he sighed and looked at his brother for help.

"We can ask Bonnie to help," Stefan suggested looking up at Elena. "But I don't think..." everyone just gave him a look. "Yeah. Never mind." he smiled awkwardly and stood back up, staring down at my body.

Elena sighed and grabbed his arm and talked to him out in the hallway.

"Kat, can you hear me?" Damon whispered.

Once again, I tried to move, but nothing would work; not even my lips would part. I mentally threw a fit and just continued laying there helplessly, still bleeding out slowly. I tried to listen in on what Elena and Stefan were talking about out in the hall, but all the blood made me loose contentiousness again and I drifted off to the darkness, all alone with no one to help me.

"So she started bleeding out of nowhere?" Bonnie asked everyone.

"Yes," Damon answered her right away. "What is it? Who is it? What are they doing to her?"

Bonnie laughed lightly. "Calm down Romeo... and as for all of those questions, I don't know, but I can try a few spells..."

Damon's eyes lit up. "Please... try anything. I need her. She finally came back to me..."

Bonnie nodded and pat Damon's shoulder and grabbed her book from Elena. "Thanks..." she told her best friend. She opened it up and started her first round of spells to figure out what exactly was going on with Katherine.
