Darkness Love

by dopplesex

I've never imagined myself coming back to Mystic Falls, but whenever I thought about it, the reason was always the same: Stefan Salvatore. There has never been another reason, not even his brother Damon. Nothing would make me stay in that boring town, sometimes not even Stefan worth it. Until I met her. For an angel I would stay, for Elena Gilbert.

4. Broken Hearts

Hello, everybody! Here's chapter 4. This chapter is HUGE! That's why it took me so long to update, but I hope it worth the wait. I loved writting this chapter, so I hope you enjoy it as well. There are some new things happening... What do you think it is? Tell me everything by reviewing! Enough with the talk, let's read! XOXO

Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries. This fanfiction is just based on their story.

DAMON

Elena looked at me as a scaredy-cat. I could see that she was nervous only by the beating of her heart. Besides the fact that she bit her lower lip every five minutes.

"I'm waiting, Gilbert." I said, tapping my fingers on the table.

"I have nothing to say, Damon. Nothing happened." she said, making her heart beat even faster.

"Of course something happened! Since the day my brother told me that Katherine was in town, you're acting all weird." I realized that when I said that bitch's name, Elena's eyes widened.

"I just told you, nothing..."

"Come on, Elena!" I said, annoyed. "She did something with you?"

"No..." She was lowering the gaze, until she was staring at her hands that were on her lap.

"So, tell me.. What happened?" I tried to be as polite as possible, putting my elbows on the table and leaning forward.

"She went on your house that day. Right after you and Stefan left, she appeared there." She said, finally. Her heart still jumping inside her chest.

"And what did she want?" I couldn't believe that bitch had gone on my house and Elena hadn't told me anything!

"She seemed to be looking for you. I mean, for Stefan. She just stood there, staring, looking for him."

"Are you sure it was just that?"

She opened her mouth to speak and Vicky arrived with our request.

She was hot. Maybe later...

Elena sighed.

"Yes, Damon!"

I got away from the table, looking at her.

"OK, Elena. You would have no reason to lie to me. But you know what you do, ok?"

"Okay. Can I leave?"

She was already getting up, but I held her arm.

"I know there's more. And you? Oh, you know I'm going to find out."

She looked at me ugly and left shaking that stubborn ass.

I searched the room for Vicky. Her neckline had increased.

She met my gaze and smiled.

ELENA

Damon pissed me off too much!

And now I couldn't find the damn car keys in my purse.

I supported the bag on the hood of the car and when I was about to scream in frustration I found the key.

I got in the car and turned on the radio to relax. I could hear two songs before I got home.

My phone vibrated and Stefan appeared on the screen.

"Hello!"

"Hi, beautiful" He greeted me nicely.

"How was your day?" I asked smiling.

"I just went hunting, the rabbits don't gave me a lot of work today."

Stefan was nothing good with jokes. "And yours? How did it go with Damon?"

"Annoying."

We were silent for a while.

Stefan sighed.

"Baby, I'm calling to tell you that I'm going away this weekend. I have some things to work out. Can you keep alive until Sunday?"

"I'm going to miss you so much."

"Me too. Now, go inside and go to sleep, it's late."

"I love you."

"Me too."

I disconnected the call and went home.

All I could think about was taking a shower and going to sleep.

What would I do with Stefan out?

JENNA

I ended up napping on the couch.

My back burned more than anything.

I stretched me and I went to get a cup of coffee in the kitchen. Thank God Stefan fixed the coffeemaker to me.

I went down the hallway and saw Elena on the porch. And staring at nothing.

That's strange.

I looked at the clock and it was two in the morning. She was in trouble with me!

I went to the door and opened it.

"Hey, young lady!" She turned around slowly. "Enter, NOW!" She was different, her hair was falling in curls and very bulky. It was beautiful, but I wouldn't say that now, she was about to hear a sermon.

"Elena, are you deaf? I'm sending you enter, look at the time, you and Stefan are losing the notion, aren't you? That way I'll have to prohibit your date with him."

She started moving towards me to get into the house. She still looked confused.

"Damn, Elena! Do you want a formal invitation to get into your house?"

She gulped and entered. She smirked. I could see the twinkle in her eye.

"God! Are you drunk? You have school tomorrow! You know, I'm your aunt, the responsible one here. Help me! Aunt Jenna tries to be cool, but you and Jeremy don't help... All right you go out with Damon, but come back home at this time? Did you go on Stefan?"

She turned to me, and yawned.

"I'm sorry, aunt Jenna. I didn't intend to take long. Yes, I ended up meeting with Stefan. It won't happen again. Now... I need to sleep, okay? Good night."

She was different. I'm sure she was drunk.

Elena started to go upstairs.

"Elena?"

She turned to me with a dead look. "Yes."

"One more mistake and you will never see Stefan again. Understood?"

I could swear I saw she smile. I guess I was being the drunk one.

"All right, won't happen again. Good night."

"Good night, sweetheart."

She disappeared down the hallway and I went get my coffee.

DAMON

I sat at the Grill without moving about 20 minutes, Donovan wouldn't stop staring at me while serving the tables. I knew what she wanted. Then I lifted my glass, toasting it.

She smiled.

At least my night was guaranteed. Even if it was with a stoned high school girl.

She was not the most beautiful woman in the world, but she was sexy, and she was a woman. Skinny, with median boobs to small, exceptionally beautiful hair, in a shade of golden brown falling in curls to the middle of the back and red lips, that would be nice with some fangs.

I smiled at her, what she accepted as an invitation to come to me.

"So, Salvatore, do you want something else?" She hinted when she said "something". God, she was one of the naughty ones.

"If there is Vicki Donovan on the menu, I want." I lifted my eyebrow, looking at her. She giggled.

I leaned towards her, opening a smirk.

"I'm not included in meals, but I can make an exception for a guy so yummy like you." She leaned over and I realized she wasn't wearing a bra.

I sighed. She didn't know what she was saying, and to who it was said.

"Ask your boss to leave early. Come at my home with me..." She didn't let me finish, she straightened her posture and scratched her head as who apologizes.

"No, he's not going to release me early. I'm sorry"

"And if I am capable of convincing him?"

She smiled.

"I would like to see that."

I got up. She was a little lower than I was, but nothing grotesque.

"Show me who I should convince." She pointed to an old man behind the counter. "Sit and watch my magic."

"If you get it I'm yours to anything you want."

Oops, she shouldn't have said that. She was in trouble. Completely in trouble.

I approached the man and stared into his eyes trying to look relaxed and playful to who saw him off.

"Smile, pretend I told you a very funny joke." The man began to laugh and I smiled, it was so boring. I hope she was worth it. "That's it. Now you will you release Vicky Donovan to go home earl..." I stopped in mid-sentence when I saw Matt get off the stairs and I had a crazy idea. "Actually, you will ask Vicky to get something in the pantry and say that after she will be allowed to go home. Tell Matt that she has a headache and you will not let anyone get in on that ladder, ok?" I compelled him smiling, then I blinked a few times.

I needed blood.

The old man smiled and called Vicky, who was stupefied, with a look of astonishment coming towards me.

"Vicky, this guy convinced me to let you go early for care of your headache." She started pretending she was in pain. Good girl. "But I want you to take a broom in the pantry before you go."

"A broom?" She made a face of disbelief.

"Yes, and then you can go." She was smiling and went to get the broom.

I let her in and joined shortly thereafter by closing the door.

Oh, Donovan, you don't know what waits for you!

She was down looking for the brooms, and I got behind her, putting my hands on her waist.

She gave a little jump and I smiled.

"Hi..."

"Hi, I was going to meet out there for us to continue and..." I put a finger in her mouth and opened a button of her blouse.

"I want you here."

"What?! And what if someone comes in and..." I silenced her again.

"Vicky, Vicky. You said you would be mine and I want to here. Now." She opened her mouth to protest but I kissed her.

At first she struggled a bit, but then she started kissing me back. I dropped the kisses for her neck, shoulders and then when I finished opening her blouse, I took her breasts in my hands. I was frustrated that they don't fill my hands. I didn't like it. But it would have to be it.

I began sucking on them and she was moaning softly. She put her hands in my hair and pulled me up.

I knew where I wanted to go, so I let her get involved in the kiss and took her up the stairs without her noticing.

I sat on a step and pulled her into my lap, and instantly she began to wiggle. I took her shirt off by once and gave her a little bite on one nipple. She threw her head back.

I opened the zipper of my pants and she got up to take hers, sitting on my lap just in panties.

She stuck her fingernails down my neck and I pulled her last piece of clothe, ripping it. She jumped a little in surprise. Then I put my cock out and she held it, starting to masturbate me.

I was already hard, but not at my best. And I knew that with her I wouldn't be.

Vicky came out of my lap and knelt down some stairs, putting my cock on her mouth. I moaned for that hot mouth that she had. She sucked me sometimes. But I didn't want that, not now.

I held my hard member and looked into her eyes.

"Sit. Now." I said.

She stood up, smiling, and sat in my lap. I entered my member inside of her, feeling her thoroughly wet. I let out a pleasurable sigh and she began to ride me quickly. Our bodies clashed increasingly faster and stronger. I felt like she was about to cum, because her movements began to decrease, and her body increasingly swallowed me. I pulled her in an embrace and kept her in place until she started to cum and her body started going soft on mine.

I kissed her neck and she smiled with the orgasm spreading in her body. I spent my tongue down her skin, feeling her pulse in my tongue. And when she came back rolling wanting me to come, I bit her.

She shivered, I don't know if it was because of the orgasm, or the morphine my poison released in the bite. I felt the blood dripping down my throat, hot and consistent. Drinking the blood of someone who had just had sex was one of the best things.

I got OK from drinking and she was getting weaker. So when I stopped drinking, I passed my tongue in the holes that I let in her neck, healing it.

I bit at my wrist and gave her to drink. Gradually her strength came back and so did my urge to cum too. I took her off my lap and she got on all fours for me.

I penetrated her once again, this time I closed my eyes and chase my orgasm ardently. It wasn't long before I felt the contractions, my throat started to get dry and then the orgasm spread through my body, making me lie on top of Vicky, who was coming again.

"I'm surprised at you, Salvatore. I have never seen Mr Roberts smile." She told me when she turned and lay belly-up on the floor, looking at me.

"It always has the first time."

"Matt must be crazy after me!" She was sitting, but I held her.

"Mr Roberts said you had a headache and went home..." I explained.

"Wow! But I can go back to work."

"No, go home. You're tired, I know I got you hard." I got up, fixing my hair.

"Man, that was the best sex of my life." She looked even more drugged lied on the stairs while I closed my pants.

"They all say that." I threw her shirt to her and leaved the pantry satisfied, leaving her naked and completely sore.

############

After a sensational fuck with Donovan, I decided it was time to have a little chat with Katherine-bitch-Pierce. She was already getting on my nerves! What the hell she wanted with Elena?

I didn't know where she was, but I was sure I'd find her in the woods near the boarding house.

"Katherine!" I shouted. "Come on, Katherine, I know you're in there, bitch!"

"Language, Damon." She said, popping up behind me. "That's not a way to treat a lady." She giggled with the corner of her mouth, which irritated me to the core.

"With a lady I certainly wouldn't talk like that, but since I'm talking to you..." I smiled.

She closed her face. That hurt on her.

"Come on, say it. What do you want with me?" She looked at me with disdain. "Miss me already?" She couldn't keep the smile off her face, and that made me even more nervous.

"PEEHH" I did a bell. "Wrong question. The right would be: what do YOU want here?" I said, wanting to make it clear that I wasn't joking.

"I came to see you, Damon." She whimpered, taking a step towards me.

"Oh, stop! Do you really think I believe you? I've spent years, Katherine. YEARS, looking for a way to get you out of that tomb, and when I finally got it open you weren't there! And then I found out that you always knew where I was and NEVER came to see me, so what I want most now is that you get the hell out of my life!" I yelled at her.

She finally took the smile off her face and stared at me. She gulped before continuing.

"No problem, dear. I didn't come back for you, anyway." She always found a way to let me out of my mind.

"I'm serious, Katherine. Stay. Away. From. Here. Away from Stefan, and mostly, away from Elena." I said with the most serious tone that I could.

"Already jealous of new toy, baby?" She had a strange look on her face, as if as only at the mention of Elena's name the conversation had gotten more interesting for her. "If you and Stefan can play, I can too. And I'm sure I'll make Elena Gilbert have more fun with me than that with you two together."

And before I could say anything else, she was gone.

KATHERINE

Damon, what a jerk! If it wasn't for me, he would probably have died in the war of 1864. Stefan has always been Daddy's favorite. In fact, Stefan has always been the darling of the family.

OK, sure that Damon was way better in bed, but Stefan always dominated the girls' hearts.

There was only one thing that would make me relax now: sex. I sent a text to Mason Lockwood, who did not take two minutes to answer. He wasn't a Salvatore, but he satisfied me. He looked like a puppy dog, literally. I was with him on his first night as a werewolf. Mason was already making me annoyed with such fluffy. One more for the list of broken hearts by Katherine Pierce. He deserved one last night for telling me that my copy was here with Stefan. And I needed someone to entertain me. When I arrived at the Lockwood mansion, I was about to knock on the door when it opened showing a 'smile from ear to ear'- Mason.

"Kat! I miss you, you crazy!" He left the house and got me rolling me onto his lap.

"Me too, my love." I lied. He put me on the floor and kissed me. You could realize by his kiss that he really liked me. I let him kiss me as much as he could. I was waiting for him to let me go and take me inside, but instead, he caught me in his lap again, this time with his hands on the bottom of my thighs and entered the house.

Mason was always of type "horny-romantic".

As much as we played, he always wanted to sleep together after, or cuddling me. And every time after he had came, he said an "I love you". Totally cheesy. But I needed him. Until today!

He had warned me the back of Stefan and about my copy. He deserved one last thank you.

He took me in his lap until we got to his room. With him was always like this: always in bed. Nothing new. So exciting. YUP!

But who doesn't have Stefan hunt with werewolf!

########

I liked to play with Mason, but he was too sticky. And I wanted to return to the action. Not that I thought it was wrong "cheating" on the poor little Mason, but at a certain moment, we get tired, right? And, how I was going to focus on my little shadow with him on my foot?

"Mason, we have to talk." I said, raising my head of the bed and balancing myself on an elbow.

"What, princess?" He was always TOO MUCH sweet. It sickned me.

"I have to tell you something. That's why I wanted to see you, but I couldn't say no to you."

"What is it, Kat? You're making me worried." He had a such cute puppy face.

"It's not working anymore... I mean, you and I... Look, I like you a lot, but enough is enough. I feel like I'm not giving you the attention you deserve, and with all the things I have to do..."

"But Kat..." He began to speak but I put a finger in his lips to make him stop.

"Shhhh... I know, it's also been hard for me, because I love you," I never thought I'd be a so damn good actress. "but it's really not working..." I got out of bed, put on my clothes and made the biggest effort in the world to do a tear fall. I turned to him, leaned on the bed and kissed him.

"I love you." I lied again. I got out of the door happy for what I had achieved.

One less...

CAROLINE

Elena sent me a message in the morning warning that she would skip school to buy clothes to our little party tonight.

I ended up inviting me and went along.

"What do you mean Stefan will be gone this weekend?!" I was dying to know Stefan's reaction when he saw me in my new small skirt.

I would have to settle with Damon.

Not that he wasn't hot, it was just that I wanted Stefan. But certainly he preferred Elena. Everybody did.

"He had some things to resolve, Caroline." Said Elena, while checked a few red tank tops.

"You should have gone with him."

"He didn't ask me to go." She said with bad will.

"Invite yourself!" I took her away from those terrible blouses, placing her in front of the mirror and dropping your hair that was stuck in a bun.

"Like you did this morning?" She smiled. Evil.

"Ouch! That hurt!" I said, pouting.

"You know I love you." She hugged me aside.

I got a pink dress with a little cleavage but with legs out and went to the dressing room.

I got dressed and got out looking myself at the mirror.

"Lena, what do you think?" I said, pointing to the dress.

"It is beautiful." She said.

"Gilbert! You said that about every dress that I tried on!"

"They're all beautiful, Care."

"Ok, we're going to do it different." I stopped to think. "Well, if you were a lesbian, I'm not saying that you are, but if you were, would go out with me?" I copied a model pose that I saw in a magazine.

She started to laugh.

"If you left this pose, yes!"

We started laughing.

And then Elena made a surprised face, as if she had discovered something.

"What is it?" I asked suspiciously.

"I remembered one thing." She pulled her legs up, sitting like Chinese. She put her face between her hands and started shaking with laughter.

"Elena!" I called.

She pulled me to sit by her side, took a deep breath and whispered.

"My aunt Jenna said she and the Sheriff, I mean, your mom, kissed when they were our age. Can you believe it?!"

Elena was crying with laughter.

I was paralyzed.

Shocked.

My dad left the marriage to be with a man.

My mom was a lesbian.

What does that say about Caroline Forbes?

"Yes, I can't even believe it." I said almost to myself.

ELENA

After receiving a call from Jenna asking me to come back home, I got to say goodbye to everybody.

"Bye, guys. Jenna asked me to go back now."

"Oh no, Lenaaaaa!" Bonnie said.

"Elena, you can't go home like this." Matt said all worried.

"Relax, Matt, I'm not driving." I said, calming him. "I walked."

"Don't you want me to call a taxi for you?" Bonnie was also worried.

"No, you don't need to Bon, I can go walking."

"Alrighty then. See you later, Lena!" She said, hugging me.

"Bye, guys." I got out of our little piece inside the forest and started walking towards my house.

I was already walking a while and was passing in front of the Grill when I saw her. Katherine was standing in front of the Grill, leaning on the wall looking and smiling at me.

"Hello, Elena..." She spoke my name with a different intonation.

"Oh, hi Katherine." I said, continuing to walk. She stopped leaning on the wall and when I blinked, she was walking beside me.

"Where are you going this way? It seems that the night was good..." She said, turning her face to look at me. She was smiling.

"I was at a party... hm... with the guys in the woods..." I explained. Why was I talking about my life with her?

"Got it... Are you going home?" She asked, still smiling at me.

"Yeah." I just stated. I was really drunk, so the words weren't coming out of me right now. I looked at her. She still looked at me. I was stuck looking in her eyes, I couldn't help myself.

Suddenly, a stupid rock appeared in my path and I stumbled, but when I was falling to the side opposite that she was, she came up and caught me before I fell on the floor. She put me up again, but her hand was still at my lower-back. After a few seconds, she took her hand away. I felt like complaining, because the feeling was so good... But I decided saying anything.

"Be careful, baby, or you're going to end up getting hurt." She said, smiling even more this time. We kept walking in silence until we got to my house. I climbed on the balcony and she came along.

"Well, thank you for walking me home." I said, looking down.

"It was nothing. Thank you for letting me walk you here." She said, putting her finger under my chin and pulling it up, making me look at her. I looked into her eyes again. She pulled my face closer to hers, passing her finger across my lower lip. I closed my eyes. Why the hell was I letting her do this?

Then when I thought I was going to feel her lips on mine, I felt them on my cheek, but not exactly in the 'correct' place. She kissed me at the beginning of my mouth, so her lips did touched mine, even though it was very little. Then, she pulled away from my face and approached my ear, her hand still holding my chin.

"Sweet dreams, Elena..." She whispered in my ear. I kept my eyes closed. I felt her breathing near my ear, which made me shiver, but after that, nothing more happened. I opened my eyes to find myself alone on my house's balcony.

########

I felt suddenly someone caress my hair, very lightly, as if it was to not wake me up. I stood there feeling that good feeling, that excitement, without moving a muscle.

I opened a small smile.

Stefan was always so sweet to me. But I couldn't keep a statue for a long time so I ended up moving a little. I felt the hand get out of my hair. He seemed to have turned belly up.

After a few more minutes he turned to me, and approached a little bit more. He passed his right leg over mine, and saw that I don't moved.

That wasn't Stefan's leg. It was too soft. He later passed his hand over my arms, until he found my breasts, over my shirt. I lowered my eyes to the hands.

It was female hands.

Her touch was too light, but even so, I was afraid of my breasts get hard, or my legs get ruffled. There was a woman touching me, and I was enjoying it. A whirlwind of excitement seemed to be inside of me, as if my blood start to circulate at high speed.

I gave a long sigh, like who is having a very good dream, and she took the leg and the hand away from me. I turned my body to her with my eyes closed, but then turned to the other side again, in order to let my body a little less distant from hers. I didn't know what I was doing but I couldn't stop.

I felt that she was supporting her left elbow on the pillow, and began, in a more comfortable way, messing with my hair again. She pulled some strands that were inside the shirt. Then got all my hair and held it, leaving my neck visible.

I felt the warmth of her mouth closing around my neck, and then I felt a light kiss. I shivered, and that I couldn't control. She must have realized because she started giving me more kisses on the neck, more intense now. I turned to her, and I got totally surprised.

She was staring at me. She looked at me embarrassed, but saw none disapproval on my look. Without any word, our mouths were in sight, and we kissed. Her mouth was hot, her skin looked like silk, and the kiss was intense, as if our mouths combined. She passed her hand across my waist and helped me take my shirt off. I took my panties off too. It was only then that I realized that she was wearing anything, we were both naked. Nothing at all between our bodies.

We were kissing so close to each other, and I never felt like a chest could be so hot. Our breasts were touching, and just that feeling gave me great pleasure. She dropped her tongue for my neck, until she found my chest, and kept sucking on my nipple during a long time, while the other was caressed by her smooth hand.

I wasn't being scratched by any beard, and her skin was so delicate that the feeling of pleasure was immense.

Then she downed more her tongue, sliding through my body, and stopped in my navel. She started kissing my belly... Then she came down a little more. She gently passed the tip of her tongue on my clit, and was doing very short movements, passing her tongue lightly, from top to bottom.

Then she started increasing the intensity, as if she wanted to put it all in her mouth. I was so excited, and I kept raising my hips, causing my clit to find her mouth. She stuck her tongue in me, and I screamed in pleasure. It didn't take long and she penetrated two fingers in me, without even warning.

I started dancing with those two fingers inside me, following increasingly fast movements even when I couldn't resist anymore and then I came.

Her smile was of contentment. She leaned over to whisper something in my ear... And I was on the floor. With an unbearable pain in my back.

SHIT! I fell out of bed. And, damn it. I fell out of bed because I was having erotic dreams about a woman, and I was enjoying it.

I was excited and completely wet. And worst of all: it wasn't just any woman, it was her.

Katherine Pierce.

My doppelgänger.

BONNIE

I arranged to meet Elena in my grandmother's house at noon, as it was Saturday.

I ended up early, so Grandma and I were practicing witchcraft.

She was trying to teach me how to light a candle a good 15 minutes and I was not getting.

"Focus, Bonnie... Breathe. Clear your mind. Close your eyes. Feel the power flowing through your body."

I felt the power running through my veins.

"Open your eyes, focus on candle and repeat after me: phesmatos incendia."

"Phesmatos incendia."

I felt the power flow from my body and then lit the candle.

I relaxed my body and Grandma smiled at me. I smiled back.

The doorbell rang.

"It must be Elena." I got up to meet her.

I opened the door and Elena hugged me going inside. She went towards the kitchen to put the dessert on the frigde.

"Hello, Sheila!" My grandmother smiled at her.

"I hope you like pasta salad, Lena!" I said.

"You know I love it..." Elena had a child's smile.

We talked a lot during lunch, my grandmother and Elena always got along. But Grandma was strange.

"Bonnie, can you go get our dessert?" She wiped her mouth politely on the napkin.

"Of course, Grandma!"

I got up and went to fetch the pudding that Elena brought.

I realized that they were whispering. One of the two would tell me later.

I took a pottery dishes from Grandma and cutlery. I took the dishes to the table and went back to get the pudding.

Elena and Grandma were silent when I returned.

"Do you want me to go wash the cups so you two can continue? I asked.

"No, Bonnie. I just said what I had to say to Elena." She cast a fearful look at Elena. "Now I need to lie down. Thank you for coming." She squeezed Elena's hand, which was on top of the table.

"Will not eat, Grandma?" I asked a little sad.

"No, dear. I really need to lie down."

"Okay..."

"Thanks for the invitation, Sheila." Thanked Elena.

"Check back often, Elena. And take care, okay?"

Elena bowed her head and nodded.

Grandma went into her bedroom and I sat next to Elena.

"Is everything all right?" Asked worried.

She nodded.

"If you want to talk, I'm here." She smiled. "But me help with the dishes?" I begged.

And it worked. She smiled truthfully.

We washed it all in silence.

"Bon..." she said softly.

"Yes?"

"Have you ever dreamed of something you shouldn't?" She looked at me with the corner of her eyes, trying to test my reaction.

I supported my back on the bench and was looking to her .

"What do you mean, Elena?"

"Well, I had a dream about a person... We had sex in the dream. And I wanted to know if it has any meaning. I'm feeling bad about it..."

"Well, I suppose it was not with Stefan..."

She laughed doing not.

"Well, our dreams can be repressed desires," I saw fear in her face. "but it may also be our fears, or something we think often."

She relaxed considerably.

"That's what you and Grandma were talking about, right?" I asked.

"Yes, Bon... I'm feeling guilty."

"Hey, it was just a dream. You didn't cheated him or something. Relax."

"Yeah, I know." She finished drying the sink.

"Lena, can I ask you who it was...?" I left the question in the air.

She stopped and thought.

"It was Damon." she said at last.

"Yeah, I would not want to dream about him. If we can call it dream, you know, because for me it would be a nightmare!"

We started laughing.

I knew that Elena had lied to me.

ELENA

It was a beautiful Sunday. The day was sunny, no clouds in the sky. I woke up early for no reason, again. I got out of bed, went to the bathroom and took a shower. Once I had dressed myself, I went down and found and Jeremy in the kitchen.

"Good morning, family." I said, hugging Jer from behind and giving a kiss on his ear.

"Oh, Elena, I'm glad you woke up." Jenna said, lifting her head to look at me. She had a weird tone in her voice. "I need to talk to you."

"Oh, Elena is screwed..." Jeremy said, laughing.

"All right. What happened, Jenna?" I asked, letting go of Jeremy and looking at her.

"Not here, let's go to your room, okay?" She was really weird.

"Okay, no problem." I said and turned to walk up the stairs. She came up behind me, leaving Jeremy eating breakfast alone in the kitchen. We went into my room and Jenna closed the door. Jeremy was right, I was really screwed. I sat on the bed and she sat facing me. She took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes.

"Look, Elena, we can't keep going like that..." She said, looking me deep in the eyes and with a serious expression on her face.

"What? What are you talking about?" I had no idea what that was about.

"What I'm going to tell you now is not something I want to do, and I don't like doing it, but it's already crossing the limits! Moreover, I had warned you that if it happened again, I would have to do that." She was with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Jenna, really, what..." She did not let me finish.

"I want you to break up with Stefan!"

"What? Jenna, you're kidding, right? Why..."

"Because I want to take care of you, Elena! I want your good, and this relationship between you two is holding you back. You don't go to school, your grades are terrible, you don't stop at home, and when you do, he is with you. You don't spend time with your brother anymore! He misses you, Elena, but he will never admit it. He needs you, and all you want to know about is Stefan!" She was almost shouting, but was avoiding doing it because of Jeremy downstairs. All she said was true, but was it really necessary to break up with Stefan?

"Jenna, I... I promise that I will improve, but don't make me break up with him, please..." I was already crying.

"Sorry, Elena. But I don't want you near him. Stefan can be a very nice guy, so much that he fixed the coffee machine, but he is not good for you. I know that you will see each other, that will be inevitable since he studies with you, but I want you away from him, okay? The maximum distance possible. At the beginning it will be difficult, but... you'll overcome, we are here for you." You could see that the words were hurting her too, but she was doing what she thought was right.

"Okay... okay, Jenna..." The words didn't come out of my mouth any way.

"Look, Lena. I don't want to be a boring aunt who is banning things. I hope you understand..." Then she leaned over, kissed me on the forehead, wiped some tears that were falling from my face, got up and left the room. I couldn't believe it! My world was collapsing again. Having to break up with Stefan will be the hardest thing I'll have to do. And worst of all, I'm going to hurt him, break his heart into pieces, even explaining why. Jenna was right at all! I am bad in school, I skip classes, I don't pay attention to my brother... I love Stefan, and I don't want to do this, but it will be for the best. I hope.

STEFAN

I parked the car in front of the Moon Stone store, one of mine small New Orleans' departments. I put my sunglasses, grabbed my jacket and walked down the car, placing the keys in my pocket.

I entered the small shop. The walls were a purplish tone , the crowded shelves of stones and other things.

I rang the bell hoping someone comes and I came close to a full bench of filters of dreams.

Elena would like one.

I thought of sending her a text , saying thet I was okay, but it was better not.

I returned to the counter and a tall, redhead woman stared at me.

Your little hanging badge on her left chest, just below her huge neckline identified her as Alex. She looked no more than 20 years old.

"Can I help you?" Her voice was musical and her smile was bright.

"I'm looking for Mrs. Luna."

She nodded, and her smile faded.

"She is not here. But I guarantee that I can resolve what you want..."

Alex was still looking at me, this time with more intensity, almost admiration. A sly smile sprang on her lips.

"I'm looking for a specific type of plant." She motioned for me to continue. "Verbena. Do you know it?"

She looked at me surprised, raising a brow.

I took off my glasses and she came out from behind the counter, slowly coming to me. Her walk was equal to a panther.

She came very close to me and looked me in the eyes.

"I can get what you want... If you know how to ask me."

Her full mouth opened to me, asking to be kissed. She noticed that I looked and smiled.

I put my hands on her waist and she slid her soft fingers down my arms. I felt the heat of her fingers just above the jacket.

Then I heard footsteps.

"I'm sure this is not Elena Gilbert, Stefan!" Said a familiar voice.

I turned and saw a petite blonde, her face half plump, more like a fairy, looking at me with anger in her eyes.

"Lexi..." I smiled.

"I would say that is a pleasure to see you, but..." She crossed her arms staring at me.

I let go of the redhead, who at that time was already rolling her eyes.

What happened?!

Lexi walked the small shop and went to the filter of the dreams I had touched.

"Typical!" She murmured. Then she turned to Alex and said all angry. "Stay. Away. From. Him."

She pulled me out of the store and punched me in the arm that really hurt. Alex laughed and threw me a kiss.

"You men! You never realize when you are under a spell..." She complained too high and some people stopped to look at us.

"What?!" I said lower.

"That's it, she bewitched you with that filter of dreams." She began to walk down the street, pounding the floor with those heels.

I took her arm and made her stop.

"Hey.. Lexi.. Stop breaking the ground." She stopped walking and stared at me still angry. "And my car is on the other side. It is good to see you too, okay?"

I pulled her into a hug. I realized that she was going back yelling at me, but she relented.

"I missed you too... Now what are you doing here!?"

ELENA

I spent the whole day in bed. How would I be able to have this conversation with Stefan? Among cry, sleep, cry, sit and lie down in bed, I was thinking of a less worst way to talk to him, but I could only imagine how his face of suffering would look like.

Why? Why with Stefan? He was so good. Jenna could have forbidden me to go at Bonnie, or hanging out with Caroline... And she still came with a crazy story saying that she had already warned me.

Well, but this will have to be for later. I can no longer be extending my pain. It is better to solve all at once. My poor Stefan, receiving bad news by phone... He didn't deserve it, not him...

I took the phone from the nightstand and searched for his number in the contacts. I stared at the phone for a few seconds, wondering if I should really do it that way, but I could not stand talk about it looking in his eyes. Took a deep breath and called. He answered on the second ring.

"Hi baby, good to hear your voice! I'm dying to see you!" Why does he has to be always so sweet to me?

"Hi... We need to talk." I said dryly.

"Elena, what happened? Did Damon do something while I was gone?" Always so worried.

"No, it's not that. I want to talk about you and me." I said, tears rolling down my face.

"What happened? Is everything okay?" I could hear the concern in his voice.

"No, actually, it's not okay. Stefan, I... I..." I couldn't, I just couldn't.

"What is it, baby? What's wrong?"

"STOP CALLING LIKE ME LIKE THAT! YOU ARE ONLY MAKING THINGS WORSE!" I exploded. I don't want to hurt him, but hearing him call me baby every five seconds was killing me.

"Elena, calm down. Tell me, what happened?" He was trying to calm me down, but hearing his voice was killing me. I had to finish it now.

"I want to break up." I let go of the bomb at once, without warning. "It's not working. I don't want to be with you. Our relationship is bad for me. And I want you to respect my decision." I tried to be as short and thick as possible. If he was mad at me, it might be easier. He was silent, but I could hear his crying sobs. He took a deep breath and then spoke.

"What do you mean Elena? Why?' I could hear the pain in his words.

"I need to do this. For several reasons. I don't want to hurt you, Stefan. Look, sorry, it has to be like that." I wouldn't endure another second of it.

"But Lena..."

"Bye, Stefan." I hung up. I threw the phone across the room and stuck my face in the pillow, crying. I couldn't believe what I had just done. He must be devastated, crying with no end. Now I was sure that I couldn't break up with him talking face-to-face.

Forgive me, Stef. But it has to be like this...

KATHERINE

I knew Stefan was back in town. I couldn't believe how he had gone out and left his precious Elena alone... Oh no... He had Damon - the idiot.

How Stefan trusted him? Especially when it came to Elena's protection against the most beautiful and sexy vampire of this planet... I mean, me!

But anyway, since he's back, I will take the chance to see him, because since I arrived, I didn't have time to see my favorite Salvatore.

I was already close to the boarding house when I heard a woman's voice coming from inside. It was a sick voice. I knew that voice... Grrrh, Lexi... No one deserves this blonde.

They were talking, and at the smile that I could hear in Stefan's voice, I presumed they were talking about Elena. Suddenly, a phone rang. Stefan answered, and to everybody's surprise: it was Elena! He answered all enthusiastic, as if he hadn't heard her voice in centuries, but then the animation was over. "Hi, we need to talk."

My little shadow was serious. Hmm, an angry Elena must be sexy... I laughed at my thought.

I turned my attention to their conversation. Because of my involuntary thoughts, I ended up losing a part, but... "I want to break up." What? How come she wanted to break up with him? Soon they were the epic couple.

"It's not working. I don't want to be with you..."

This was only getting better. I could hear Stefan crying. Oh, poor thing... I laughed again. He stood there asking a billion 'why's and blah blah blah. Meanwhile his 'super friend' said anything.

"Look, sorry, it has to be like that."

She was pretty thick. What went on Gilbert?

"Bye, Stefan..."

I WAS NOT BELIEVING! Stefan was free again, all just for myself. I heard Damon arrive. Stefan cried like a child. Lexi was trying to calm him down as she explained the situation to Damon. I decided then that this was not the time to visit Stefan, but yes a more similar person to me. Did you miss, Elena?

#########

I arrived at the Gilbert's place, and I used my hearing. She was in her room. I then climbed the wall and walked through the roof until I got to her window. I entered the room and she got a fright.

"Kat.. Katherine. What are you doing here?" She flinched...

"I just came to talk to you. But first, wash your face, okay?"

Elena went to the bathroom and closed the door. And then something began to vibrate. I realized it was her phone, which was on the table beside the bed. I approached and saw it was Damon. Immediately I had an idea.

I answered the phone.

"Elena, what happened? Stefan told me..."

"Damon, can you come here?" I sniffed. "I'm not well, I... I need you, Damon. Please."

I tried to sound like Elena as much as possible.

"All right, Elena. I'll be there in a few okay? Don't do anything stupid." You could hear the concern in his voice.

"Don't take long, please..."

"I won't, Elena. I promise."

DAMON

Elena hung up the phone looking desperate. So I went downstairs searching for Stefan, who was with his feisty blonde little friend.

I hadn't understood yet why Elena broke up with Stefan, so I decided to call her. But that doesn't mean I haven't been happy. Especially when she called me. Not him but me.

Lexi was still trying to calm my brother down, who was crying desperately.

"Stef, I spoke with Elena and she asked me to go there, okay? I won't be long." I grabbed my jacket and dressed.

"I'm going too." He whimpered rising.

"No you're not." I said.

"I am, she's my girlfriend, Damon!"

"EX-GIRLFRIEND, baby bro. And Lexi, take care of him, hunt rabbits, cats or any fluffy animal."

Lexi frowned at me.

"Stop you both, I'm going too. You know he won't rest here, Damon."

"Great, vampire break up squad on the rescue! Come on, buy ice cream and rent romantic movies!"

"Shut up, Damon! Or I swear to God I will kill you!"

And then the three of us went to the car. And there goes my chance with Elena.

KATHERINE

I hung up the phone.

Why Damon was always so stupid? He looked like a puppy when it came to Elena. The history repeating itself, that beautiful...

But this time there was a new participant in this little game. Elena was still in the bathroom when I put her phone back on the bedside table. I got out of her bed and stood in front of the mirror that was in the room.

I ran my hand on my hair. Oh, how I loved my curls... Elena left the bathroom rubbing her hands over her face. She looked at me and came towards me.

If I had heartbeat, my heart would be completely shot. This girl knew how to make me shiver. What's wrong with me?!

She walked right past me and took her box of Kleenex that was on the table. She had returned to cry. I don't know why, but seeing Elena crying was bothering me. When she turned to walk towards the bed, I grabbed her arm. Her breathing stopped and her eyes widened.

I took a tissue from inside the box she was holding and took her hand. She looked me in the eye and understood everything I was not talking. She took the tissue and wiped the tears that were in her face. I let go of her arm and she went to sit on the bed. I followed her and sat a few inches away from her. I breathed and looked at her.

"So, will you tell me the reason for the crying?"

DAMON

Stefan complained the whole way. Lexi Lexi how he met Elena, how he loved her smile, her laughter, her hair .. He looked like a teenager who lost his pet and was doing drama on the Internet.

I parked the car next to the house of al place and Stefan got out.

"Easy, little miss-sunshine!"

Lexi gave me another devious look, and stood next to Stefan.

I kept the keys and we went to the door. I barely rang the bell and Jenna opened the door.

"Hello, I want to see Elena." I tried to get in and she stopped me.

"No, no. She doesn't want to see anyone, Damon."

"Come on, Jenna. She called me. I just want to see if she's okay." I pouted.

"All right!" She gave up and gave us passage.

I turned to Stefan.

"Wait here. I'll see how it is and you go up, okay?"

He nodded.

The last thing I saw before climbing was Jeremy sprawled on the couch getting ready to chant Lexi, and I smiled.

ELENA

Katherine was so endearing to me. It felt like I was dreaming again. I told her everything that happened until she came on my bedroom window and saw me lying in bed crying. I told her I wasn't answering calls from anyone, that I didn't want to talk to anyone.

Then she surprised me.

Katherine pulled me into a hug as she stroked my arm. I felt her hazelnut smell and closed my eyes comforting me in her embrace.

I remembered her touch from my dream, the way her mouth walked through my body and the desire in her eyes.

She brushed her fingers on my neck looking into my eyes.

When I was around her, I ended up forgeting pain of losing Stefan.

Katherine's eyes swallowed me, my heart was jumping on my chest. So I closed my eyes and handed myself to the delicious feeling of being involved in her arms.

KATHERINE

Elena was completely vulnerable telling me about what had happened to her. She had a strange gleam in her eyes. Like she was watching a bad romance movie. But I decided to think that this glow was tears still in her eyes. For some reason I couldn't stand seeing my copy so bad so I pulled her and hugged her.

At first, she seemed to be uncomfortable, but after her body was relaxing. As if falling asleep in my arms.

Her scent was so good... Then I heard them. Damon and Stefan were here. This was my chance to destroy all hearts at once. I heard Damon telling Stefan to wait down there. Damon was climbing up the stairs. It was now or never.

DAMON

I came down the hall and realized that Elena was not alone in the room. So I started to walk faster, leaving my footsteps echo and warn that I was coming.

"Elena..."I heard someone whispering.

The dread of hearing that voice did not compare to the horror I felt when I opened the door and saw that scene.

STEFAN

Damon was taking too long. Jenna looked at me suspiciously. Lexi tried to flee Jeremy chanted.

I focused up there, trying to hear something. But it was too quiet.

I detected Damon's heartbeats changing and sought to Elena. Hers was beating even faster. But that was another heartbeat nothing altered, serene and very calm.

I didn't think, I just climbed the stairs quickly and Lexi came after me, shouting my name.

"Stefan, no!"

I turned the hall and was paralyzed.

Damon was in her door, but he wasn't blocking the view.

I could clearly see the scene unfolding inside the room.

Elena was in Katherine's arms as if that was the safest place in the world.

Katherine looked at her with desire and Elena's eyes were closed, completely delivered. And her lips were parted asking to be kissed. Katherine had slipped her hand on one of Elena's bare thighs.

My heart was broken.

ELENA

I gave myself waiting for the kiss that I denied so much, and that I desperately needed. And then I realized that we were not alone. Katherine walked away apologetically, but still smiling.

I sniffed and turned seeing Damon looking to us openmouthed. And right behind him was Stefan and a blonde.

"Brother, I think you lost your girlfriend to your ex-girlfriend!"

I cast a reproachful look at Damon. And I started to walk to Stefan that took two steps back, moving away.

Katherine looked all the scene.

"So... Time to go. Take care, Elena..." She gave me a last look before getting out of my window and disappearing.

Damon punched the wall, it seemed like he was in pain. Stefan was shaking from crying and the blonde went after Katherine.

Everything happened too fast.

Stefan turned and was walking away.

"Stefan..." I called him in a whisper.

"Don't..." He replied.

Damon looked at me with disapproval and also left.

My heart was broken.

I let my body fall on the bedroom floor. And this time I wished I had fallen out of bed and realized it was all a dream.

But it wasn't.

So, what do you think? Do you think Katherine was being sincere on wanting to help Elena or was it just one more mind games of Katherine? Tell me, tell me!
