Okay, so I am so sorry this was like a week late! Seriously I am! These past two weeks really sucked, let me tell you! My job was crazy and school was awful! Anyways, I'll try to consistently post every week!
So, pretty much Damon/Katherine stuff in this. I'll probably redo this chapter in his pov next.
Thanks to everyone to reviewed, alerted, clicked and everything! All of it inspires me to keep writing!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story line.
"I live in torture thinking of these moments.
Every look he gives you I get sicker and sicker.
There's a burning in me, I feel on fire and a guilt I can't comidify."
Tristan and Isolde
"Well that was quite a story," Damon voiced.
It was quite a story indeed, even if they didn't know all the details. It wasn't something typical to come out of Katherine's, my own, mouth.
"Yeah, tell me about it." I replied as I glanced out his window.
I knew at some point they were going to find out about the whole human aspect, but I wasn't about to willingly give them any more information at the moment. Trust was something I didn't give out easily; I wasn't stupid, Stefan was just looking for an opportunity to cut me down once and for all. I wasn't about to hand give the very tool that could ruin me.
"You know, there isn't an audience anymore. You can quit pretending now." He spoke harshly.
Immediately my body stiffened at has comment. What the hell was he talking about? Did he think I would lie about something so humiliating?
"What are you talking about?" I questioned after I turned suddenly to look at him.
There he stood before me, looking at me with a hard expression in his eyes. His blue eyes had never looked so icy before, it was unnerving. He obviously didn't believe my confession. It was strange, considering that I knew Stefan had. If his brother willingly accepted my story Damon should have had no problem believing it as well. The fact he didn't was slightly confusing. What had I done recently to invoke such emotion?
Nothing came to my mind.
"Like you don't get it," he sneered. "You and I both know that whole story was a bunch of crap." He continued.
Immediately my eyes hardened at his insult. How dare he straight out call me a liar? Why would I even lie about it in the first place? What did I have to gain to completely embarrass myself? Was he really that much of an idiot to think I would purposely admonish a lie that would completely wound my pride?
Apparently so.
"Oh give me a break," I sneered right back. "What is this? Some ploy to uncover the truth?" I said sarcastically.
He simply glared at me, not taking my tone so well.
"Well that would be a start now wouldn't be?" He said. "For once in your pathetic life, just tell the truth." He said through clenched teeth. "I know that's extremely difficult for you to do, but just try to humor me." He finished mockingly.
I immediately felt the anger start to boil. I had just confessed to something humiliating, and here he was mocking me. I didn't appreciate it, not one bit. My fists clenched at my sides as my feet stayed firmly planted to floor beneath me. Despite my anger, I would remain in control of this situation.
"I did tell you the truth," I said slowly.
"Stop lying." He responded quickly.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. He was already annoying me. I didn't like this game; it was too close to home. If he wanted to play, fine then. But if he was going to play dirty so was I.
"I'm not," I said forcibly.
His icy blue eyes hardened and he took a threatening step forward.
"Liar," he spat.
My stomach clenched and not in a 'oh god, I'm nervous' kind of way, more like 'you're really trying my patience' kind of way.
"Why would I lie about something like this? What could I possibly have gained by humiliating myself?" I replied exasperatedly.
And to add to my already building hatred, the man had the nerve to push it even further. He smirked. The damn idiot smirked at me!
"Well I don't know, maybe because Rose was going to kill you?" He said mockingly.
Now it was my turn to smirk. As if she could come close enough to actually try something stupid like that.
"Well as humorous as that would've been to watch her try, I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with it." I sneered. "I told you the truth, not my problem if you don't believe it." I said as I turned to leave.
I was officially done with that conversation. He was beginning to be petty and annoying. If I was going to waste my breath on someone, it certainly wasn't going to be on him. I reached the door, but as I grabbed the knob to turn it a hand closed on my wrist, turned my body and slammed me into the door.
"Why are you here?" Damon screamed to my face.
My eyes went wide with shock at his sudden aggression. Immediately I tried to remember what I had done recently to have invoked such utter hatred, since that was all he was eyeing me with. But once again my mind came up with nothing. Suddenly the notion that Damon had followed his brother to retrieve Elena made me angry. What was it about her that made her so special? Realizing he was still glaring at me, I quickly recovered and glared right back at him.
"Why do you care?" I spat angrily at him for causing me to lose self control. "Just go run after Elena like the pathetic, love sick little boy I know you are." I sneered.
His eyes then sparkled somewhat. Of course I then mentally slapped myself. I had just given him more leverage. I basically just confessed of being jealous, which I was, but he definitely didn't need the satisfaction of knowing. I just held my breath waiting for him to mock even more now.
"Well I'll be damned, Katherine Pierce is jealous over me!" He said mockingly.
He was right, so right it made me sick.
"Oh please, get over yourself, as if you're someone to be jealous over." I sneered instead.
His eyes flashed red, apparently that had gotten to him.
"Hit a nerve did I, Dearest Damon?" I mocked.
His face grew into one of pure anger and he shoved me harder into door. We were having a stare down contest again and I would win. I always win at this game.
"You know, you might be able to fool the others with your 'the world can go screw themselves' but you can't fool me. I know you Katherine, and you're just angry because you've finally realized your precious Damon no longer loves you." He sneered. "I don't need you, or even really want you. When it comes to you and Elena I will always choose her," he spat icily.
"And that, My Dear" he said then paused.
"That is what makes you sick," he finished coldly.
I hated him, hated him for making me feel the slightest bit of what HE made me feel. Yes, HE was still being referred to as HE. I refused to speak his name. His name would never pass through my lips ever again. The gaping wound he left still laid fresh in my body, in the place where my dead heart laid beating. Just the mere thought of him cause a whole new level of pain to flicker into my body.
My vampire senses decided it was time to kick in. Survival instincts reared its ugly head. The pain of HIM combined with the rejection and mocking of Damon caused my flip switch. I was done with being in control, to hell with control.
And to hell with love.
I then grabbed his throat and slammed his body on the floor. Veins slithered from below my eyes like the monster I was while fangs protruded from my mouth as I straddled him. All traces of Isabella Swan, the human girl, were gone. Right now I was Katherine, completely lethal and pissed as hell.
"Let me make something very clear, it's not you I'm jealous over." I began. "Why would I be jealous of you?" I mocked. "What are you? Let me answer that question," I continued. "Nothing. That's what you are. Absolutely nothing." I said venomously.
His eyes went wide with shock and the hurt shone bright through him. The fact I was tearing him apart on the inside unfazed me. I didn't care. If someone was going to get crushed, it certainly wasn't going to be me. Hurt before being hurt, that was always my policy. If only I had known that in Forks. Well maybe then…
Maybe's didn't matter anymore. It certainly didn't change anything. I was still torn apart barely holding together by a string.
"You want to know what I lied about?" I said mockingly. "Well let me tell you," I continued.
I then leaned close to his ear while keeping a good grip on his neck.
"The fact that you thought I loved you." I said slowly. "I never loved you, you were only a toy. Something to play with when I was bored," I spat. "Now, well you're just something to do. One brother to screw while I make plans on getting the other," I continued.
"It will always be Stefan," I declared coldly.
His breathing went high but the silence was hanging thickly in the air between us. I had just cut him deeper than anything. I knew saying that would break him. But better him than me right?
"Get out," he breathed out coldly.
I smirked slightly at his voiced surrender. I didn't like this game, so I beat him at it.
"Nothing would please me more," I said as I slammed his head hard against the wooden floor.
I then ran and jumped from his window. Anger was surging through my veins and I was sick of everything. Coming back here was a bad idea. Bonnie's face then flitted across my mind. Bonnie! As soon as she got that memory spell mastered, the sooner I could get the truth. If Klaus was trying to kill both Elena and I, well they could handle it. I sure as hell wasn't going to help them.
Especially after what Damon had just done.
No, Bonnie needed to be reminded that she still owed me. Tomorrow I would go find a way to make my plan start taking action. I was going to find Caroline Forbes. Ironic, her mother kills vampires and now here I was going to turn her own daughter into one. Compelling her to give Bonnie the final shove wouldn't be too hard.
They say anger clouds one's mind, I guess they were speaking truth. If only I had stopped to realize compulsion dies out when someone turns.
Bonnie sat cross-legged facing Elena on her friend's bed. It had been far too long since they had done this, had a sleep over. With all the drama since Elena's break-up with Matt to now dating Stefan and the recent appearance of Katherine the two hadn't had much time to just hang out. Even now, with all the pressure of Elena's evil twin made everything difficult.
"Seriously, Caroline disappeared today. I swear if she and Matt skip much more school, her mom's going to kill her." Elena said while inspecting her nails.
It was a bit odd. Caroline was on school property that morning, but then never showed up. Even though it was typical for Caroline to make boy drama into a big deal, it wasn't like her to miss an entire day due to Matt. Bonnie pursed her lips while her mind went wild with all the possibilities.
"I don't Elena, maybe she got sick or something." Bonnie replied.
"Or maybe love sick," Elena quipped with a smile.
Bonnie just rolled her eyes. Elena was probably right. Caroline tended to be irresponsible, so she was probably just ditching.
"I'm pretty sure the only thing going on between Caroline and Matt right now is just unquenchable lust." Bonnie said dryly.
Elena's eyes went wide and she started to fake gag.
"Eww! That is a mental a picture I did NOT want branded into my mind!" She said while shaking her head.
The two girls then erupted into a fit of laughter. It had been such a long time since Bonnie had laughed, and it felt nice to let go. In the midst of their laughing, a shill sound of a phone went off. Immediately Bonnie realized it was hers and leaned over the bed to get it.
A familiar name flashed across the screen and Bonnie smiled warmly at it.
"Hey Car! Elena and I were just talking about you! What happened to you today? Did uh, you and Matt get rid of some, how shall I say it, pent up frustration." She giggled out while wiggling her eyebrows at a very disgusted Elena.
A sudden scream though snapped Bonnie out of her goofiness. Panic started to settle in.
"Caroline! What's going on? Are you ok?" Bonnie gushed out.
Silence happened on the other end, and Bonnie started to feel nauseated.
"Caroline!" Bonnie all but yelled.
"I have a message," Caroline spoke smoothly. "From Katherine."
All breath inside Bonnie immediately left her body just from the mention of the mere name.
"You have three days, three days to master that spell." Caroline finished.
Bonnie's mind began to reel. That spell was unlike anything she had ever seen. It was a memory spell and only for those who had years of practice, and even those would encounter problems. For her to master the spell anytime soon was impossible, not to mention to master it in three days.
"If not, someone dies. Starting with Mommy Dearest here." Caroline said venomously as another scream erupted.
Bonnie's heart clenched in her chest. So that was it? There was no way she could do that! Katherine surely had to know that! She wasn't Grams, she was just plain Bonnie.
"Why are you doing this?" Bonnie sobbed out.
"Simple really, Katherine gave me a message; and I'm just here carrying it out. So while you go and figure out that spell, I'm going to be playing with my new toy." Caroline spat out.
Bonnie heard her mother's screams for help over the phone and the sound made her sick. As much as she was panicking about her mother, she was highly confused how Caroline had anything to do with it. The voice sounded strangely like her, but there was something different; something predatory in the way she spoke.
"Three days Bonnie," Caroline said before the phone went dead.
Elena faced her friend with a worried expression painted on her face.
"What happened?" She asked softly.
The world seemed to spin out of control and Bonnie leaned over the bed and emptied the contents of her stomach into the trash bin. Her mother was going to die; her mother was going to die and would be her fault. The blood would be on her hands.
"Katherine happened."
Review please!
