Hey everybody! I wasn't planning on updating so soon, but I saw this episode last night and had to write this. I hope you enjoy!

Damon POV

She'd regret it. Elena would. Her brother would turn into a vampire and she'd ask him for help. Then she would fall for him.

That was the plan.

Well, he admitted to himself, it was the plan after she turned him down. Which came after Katherine turned him down.

Katherine'd regret it also. She'd see how happy he was with Elena and beg him to come back to her.

Yeah right.

Damon knew that it'd never happen. He'd been told twice by practically the same person. Katherine and Elena, Elena and Katherine. He would look at one and see the other. In the end it didn't matter which one he was talking too. The answer was exactly the same. It had always been Stefan. It would always be Stefan.

God, he hated his brother.

Damon didn't go home. He couldn't. If he did, and Stefan was there, he might kill him.

Or he might kill me. Now there was a tempting thought.

Instead he went to the hospital. To Caroline. There was something about her that reminded him of himself, before Katherine. She was innocent and naive. Maybe that was it. Or maybe it was how she always had to prove herself. How she was never good enough.

Damon didn't expect what he found when he got to her room.

Caroline POV

Caroline didn't question the Elena look-a-like; she'd seen enough weird stuff since the Salvatores' had come to town. She just wanted Katherine to say what she came there to say, and then leave so she could sleep.

"Game on."

In fact, she was about to say is that all, when Katherine covered her face with a pillow.

Caroline tried to fight, to push the girl away, but she couldn't. It was like trying to push Damon.

She was almost ready to give up when Katherine stopped suddenly. Caroline looked up, wondering if she'd found a better way to kill her. Instead she found Damon's back, and over his shoulder she could see the Elena look-a-like, except this version of Elena had fangs, and black veins around her eyes. It was odd, because it reminded her of something...

"Katherine," growled Damon. "Don't you have anything better to do than kill helpless girls in the hospital?"

Just like that Katherine's face was Elena's again. She smiled at Damon "Yes, I do." She turned to leave, but paused at the door and said "See you later, Damon." Then she disappeared.

"Damon?" whisper shouted Caroline. "Who is she? Why did she want to kill me? Why does she-"

"Shh." Damon said. "Go to sleep."

"But what if she comes back?" It was the only thing she could think of. Caroline knew she wouldn't survive another meeting with Katherine.

"She won't," Promised Damon. "Now go to sleep."

Caroline nodded, and quickly drifted off. Before she did, however, she thought she felt a hand on her neck, and Damon's lips on her forehead.

Please review! I don't care what you say, "like" or "dislike" would be fine. Oh, and please suggest a name for this chapter.
