Sorry I've been not updating…I had many things piled up. No excuse though…I promise I'll try to update more you guys.


Satine felt like an abandoned child looking for their guardian. She had been out for hours looking for Elijah, but nothing and she could swear that every time she got close to his scent it would disappear again and be nothing, but a disappointment. She searched bars, museums, the town hall, police station, cafes, the diner, the grill, shops, and even strip clubs just in case. Nothing…she found nada, zip, nothing and it made her irritated. Satine already made a promise to herself that no one can found out what Elijah almost did to her. But why, she kept asking herself mentally, why is all this shit happening and who is behind it.

Satine shook her head at the many theories and possibilities that flowed through her mind. She needed to find Elijah because she needed to talk to him. She knew for some reason in her heart that it wasn't his fault. It may have looked like what it looked like, but inside…it was never like that. Satine made her way back to the boarding house and sigh heavily and walked up the front porch steps ever so slowly.

Her hand went to the door knob and the door immediately swung open. She soon realized that it was Damon and he was for some reason looking very pissed off.

He came through the doorway and closed the door behind. Satine had seen Damon angry, but never pissed off. He knew how to hide his emotions back in 1864 especially when he was angry or sad. She stepped back a little and soon Damon snapped at her, "Where have you been?"

She was a little a taken back by his pissy attitude towards her and she held in a scoff knowing that it would only anger him even more.

"I was out. You knew this." She said simply.

He came closer. "Yeah I thought that it would for a few hours not an entire day and a half," Damon said, raising his voice slightly at her.

Satine furrowed her brows and took out her iphone to confirm what Damon was telling her. She remembered leaving Damon at what…maybe ten or nine in the morning, but she could've sworn that she had not been out for that long looking for Elijah. She tapped the calendar clock app she had and her eyes widened as she saw that it was three am in the morning almost two days later.

She shoved her phone back in her pocket and immediately said, "I'm so sorry, Damon. I-I thought that it had only been a few hours since that morning."

"Where were you, Serena," he asked again.

"I was out, Damon. I don't need to explain my whereabouts with you." She shot back.

"Yes you do. What was so god damn important that had you gone for days and without a single call?" He snapped, his anger and suspicion quickly seeping through.

They were clearly both getting very angry at each other and Satine didn't know why though.

"What is the real reason you're getting angry Damon because if it wear any other day you would have dismissed my comings and goings, but now you're getting worked up over me being gone."

He groaned in irritation and she crossed her arms over her chest and waited. "How can you say that? I'm not gonna say sorry for caring about you."

"I'm fine, Damon. I don't a knight or babysitter twenty-four seven." She told him. "I'm a big girl now to know where I can actually find my way home. But obviously you think that I need a young vampire protecting me because I can't do it myself just as easily. I'm not Elena. " She seethed.

He opened his mouth to say something but closed it. He seemed hurt a little by her words and he waved his arm at her, dismissing their fight and turned around and went back inside. As she watched him walk away from her, she felt a wave of immediate guilt wash over her because she knew he would…well she didn't know how unpredictable Damon was now if she were to tell him about Elijah and her theories.

She heard for a moment her sister's laughter in her head as if she were hearing her thoughts. Satine's mouth curved into a small smile as a realization came to her. She followed Damon inside the house and into his room. He was giving her the silent treatment and he as making it clear to her as day. She decided to take a page out of Katerina's seduction book for women.

Damon quickly grabbed a book from his stack of books bear his bedside and laid on the awfully large bed and opened the book. He kept his electric blue eyes to the book in front of him. She walked into the bathroom and started to strip off her clothes with her back to him. She knew it was a good idea to where her lingerie today. She threw aside her shirt and jacket aside on the floor. In her navy blue lacey bra she walked to the tub and turned the faucet on. She slowly took of her jeans and folded them on the counter.

She turned her back to Damon and unhooked her bra. Satine let the bra fall down her arms and on the floor. Just as she hooked her thumbs on the band of her underwear ready to take them off, her phone rang. She quickly put back on her bra and grabbed her phone from her jean pocket.

Elijah.

She touched the screen and put the phone to her ear and said, "Elijah, where are you?"

She heard his breathing quicken a little as she spoke again, "Are you okay?"

"Yes," he said firmly, "I'm fine."

"Why did you call me?" She asked softly.

"I just wanted to hear your voice." He told her, his voice quiet.

She could feel Damon behind her. He was getting angry and jealous because of what Elijah was saying. She turned around and her theory was answered. His eyes burned into hers again like she was doing something wrong. She walked around him and went to the window and stared into the moon.

"Why did you call me? I've been looking everywhere for you. What the hell?!" She said.

Elijah laughed through the phone and replied, "I see your curiosity for things has not changed. I just wanted to say I'm sorry and ask for your forgiveness. I could not sleep without you knowing this."

"Really?" she said her voice amused and in complete shock, "You want to say sorry through the phone? How about you tell me this in person instead of being a fucking coward and face me!"

She hung up on him and slammed her iphone on the end table. She turned to Damon and her anger went away immediately. She sat crossed legged on the bed and slumped her shoulders. She sighed and shoved a pillow in her face as she fell back into the fluffy bed. Damon came to her side and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her up in his arms, bridal style.

He walked them to the tub and she hadn't even noticed that she was completely naked. Damn he's fast, she thought. He laid her in the tub that was filled with water and bubbles. Damon took off his clothes and she kept her eyes down which made his stupid smirk come to his face again. He got into the tub and sat behind her. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders. She leaned into his broad chest and he put his cheek on the top of her head.

"I'm sorry, Damon." She said softly.

He seemed surprised by her and said, "Oh…"

She turned slightly around, "Oh?! That's all you have to say is 'oh'."

"What do you want me to say? You're a Petrova, you're pretty, seductive, and stubborn. Of course I knew that once you're ready you'd tell me. I can't force you to do things you don't want to do as much as I would have liked to."

She didn't know if it was the way Damon used his words or the way he said it, but she felt those butterflies in her stomach like she used back then when he was human.

~1864, Mystic Falls~

"Satine don't!" She heard Elijah yell from the top of the stairs.

She let the tears fall down her face as she slumped her back against the front door. She turned around and yelled, "Why?! Why would you do this to me, Elijah?! I loved him!"

"You must've known that it wouldn't have lasted! He would grow old and die! I did what I had to do to protect you! Niklaus would have found her and came her to this town and to you!"

"You didn't have to kill him!"

"I didn't kill him!"

"Yes you did, Elijah! You knew what would happen if you gave a little tip to Giuseppe Salvatore where his sons were! You want him to die because you're a coward!"

"You know what," he said as he came down the stairs and opened the front door and gestured towards it with his hand, "Go. Go to him and save him since you love him so much."

She held her head up high as her tears dried up on her face as she walked through the door. She held up her skirts as she ran at inhuman speed to the carriage that was holding the vampires. She smiled as she saw that no one was there yet which meant that Damon didn't go threw with his plan.

She took a step forward, but froze in her place as she saw Damon with Stefan trailing behind him. Damon opened the carriage door and Stefan helped him carry Katerina out of it. She was heartbroken over him, but her face never showed a hint of it.

"I warned you," Elijah said from behind her. She turned around and he was standing near a tree with his hands in his pockets. He continued, "I compelled him to forget about you before we left…him and Stefan. I didn't know that he'd fell in love with her, but he did."

She opened her mouth to say something, but as she heard a shot she whirled around to see Damon falling down. She was about to run to him, but Elijah held onto her with her back to his chest. Elijah put his hand over her mouth. She tried to yell through it and she fought him over and over again.

Elijah snapped her neck and she was limp in his arms. As she was dead, Elijah moved a piece of her hair out of her eyes. He came back to reality as his eyes trailed over the two dead boys lying dead in the middle of the road. He lifted her up in his arms and carried her back to the house.

~Present~

She shook her head to relieve herself of those kind of thoughts, but each time she thought of Damon all she could see was her sister's smirking face at her…teasing her, testing her to up her. She was always Katerina's sister never the other way around.

"I say we put this whole fight thingy behind us and we just live in the present because who knows if Elena will live once the sacrifice happens." She said.

Damon furrowed his brows and had a slight guilty look on his face, "Yeah about that."

He sat himself up and she shifted between his legs. She turned around and said, "What? What did you do now?"

"Alright well, don't get angry, but…"

"You went crazy while I was gone, didn't you." She rolled her eyes. "I never liked Crazy-eyed Damon."

He laughed. "Is that what you call it now?"

"You have killer eyes."

"I'm a killer? You're older than me so that makes you a killer more than me."

"Yeah, but-hey don't change the subject. What did you do?"

"I gave Elena my blood."

Satine froze and her face was impassive as she looked at him. She got out of the tub because she already knew what that meant. She grabbed a robe and threw it on. She took her phone with her as she went out of the room and down the stairs. She dialed Elena's number.

After two rings she picked up and said, "Hello?"

"Elena," Satine started, "I heard what happened. I'm so sorry. Are you-"

"I'm getting there. I'm at my family's lake house with Stefan."

"I wish I could be there for you. I promise I'll find a way."

"Why do you want to help me? So far I've tried to kill your sister every chance I got."

"What did you expect, Elena…we're family."

"I know, but I just thought that maybe you were like Katherine."

"Oh you mean a vengeful psycho."

Elena tried not to laugh. "Yeah a little, but why?"

"Unlike Katerina, family means something to me. Elijah taught me that, back in 1864 when I wanted to kill my own sister, but Elijah didn't let me. Elena you are apart of my family. Blood is thicker than water, Elena."

"Thank you for trying to save me."

Elena hung up on her and Satine sighed and she felt a pang of sadness go through her. She threw on a pair of jeans and grabbed a blue sweater from the closet which she assumed to be Elena's. She looked down at her bare feet and frowned. She looked around in the closet for some shoes and smiled in victory as she found black boots. She pulled them on and went outside.

She grabbed Damon's keys from the bowl and went to his car. She put the key into the slot to open the door and then she fell to the dirt ground as someone hit her on the head. They picked her up and threw her against the tree across the car. She heard her back crack thus causing her unable to move.

She forced herself to sit up, but was immediately pushed down by a strong hand on her neck, choking her. She clawed at the hand and choked out, "K-Klaus."

"Hello, love. Nice to see you again. You're sister almost got away with your whereabouts, but with a little persuasion I was able to, how do put this lightly…bleed it out of her."

She glared at him. "You're p-pathetic, Klaus. The fact that y-you couldn't find me yourself proves that I won in our game of hide and seek."

His hand gripped tightly around her neck and she was sure that she was going to pass out before she felt the blood being cut off form her face and her eyes almost rolling in the back of her head. She felt like her eyes were going to pop out of her eye sockets. She felt a ting of pain somewhere on her body, but she couldn't see it.

She stopped clawing and her toes curled in pain from the strangulation. His lips came to her ear and whispered, "I want you to know how it feels to know that the person that you love loves another."

She froze and she managed to choke out, "What did I do to you?"

"You made me kill you." He whispered simply.

Klaus dragged her to the front of the lawn and she saw Stefan's car with Elena and Stefan beside it. Stefan saw her and Elena turned around and froze.

"I wouldn't dare move if I were you, mate or I'll kill her, again." She heard Klaus say.

"Please I'll go with you just don't hurt her." Elena pleaded.

"Too late," Satine mumbled.

Klaus lifted her up to stand on her feet and held onto her. Elena turned to Stefan and was saying something to him, but Satine was too distracted by Klaus's whispering in her ear.

"Don't get in my way, love. I don't want to kill you again. You are not my enemy." He continued, "All I need for you to do is to keep the doppelgangers friends away from the sacrifice tonight."

"What makes you think that I'll do this for you? I hate you." She seethed.

"Because I can give you the one thing that you desire that even the gods could not give you nor Damon Salvatore or my brother." Klaus whispered.

"What's that," she asked.

His lips came closer to her ear. His hot breath going inside her ear. "Your sister's freedom."

Satine froze immediately.

Klaus threw her to Stefan as he opened his green emerald eyes. He immediately cached her and held onto her body. Stefan was teary-eyed and his eyes were set on the spot where Elena and Klaus were before.

Stefan picked her up into his strong arms and carried into the house. He gently put her body on the couch and covered with a blanket. She felt hot and Stefan sat on the coffee table and pushed her hair aside from her face. She managed to smile at him and he said, "You look like shit, Serena."

When she laughed it suddenly hurt. "I feel like shit." After a pause she choked out, "I'm sorry."

Stefan looked down in shame and sadness and said, "It wasn't your fault."

"I wish I was here sooner, but I was looking for someone."

Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, "Who?"

"I can't say. In time, I'll tell you." She gave him her signature warm smile and she gripped his hand.

"I'm tired. I…have…a way…to…John."

"Go to sleep." He said.

"Ok," she breathed out.

She felt her eyelids droop down and soon sleep took over her mind.

. . .

Satine's eyes fluttered opened and she tried to sit herself up straight on what seemed like a bed, but was gently pushed down by Damon and Stefan's hands. They were in Damon's room. Stefan smiled down at her. He had a worried look on his face and immediately Satine asked, "What is it? What happened? Who died?"

"Um…Jenna and John…" Stefan tried to tell her.

"Did we win?" She asked softly.

Stefan smiled warmly and nodded. "Yeah we won."

"For now at least," Damon mumbled under his breath.

Satine tried to sit up and she felt an enormous amount of pain course through her entire body. She hissed as Damon's hand touched a spot on her torso. She tried back away, but Damon's hand kept her there and pulled the covers off her and quickly lifted up her shirt.

Stefan gasped in shock as he saw a large bite on her upper hip. "What is that," Stefan asked.

Damon examined it with his eyes and said, "A werewolf bite."

Satine looked down at it. It was a ghastly wound that was torn and had black veins coming from it and it was blood red. The veins were pulsing and it looked very red and almost swollen a little. It was black too and the wound looked as if it were trying to fight the venom in order to heal itself. Damon touched the open wound and she slapped his hand away in pain.

"Don't," she said firmly, "It hurts…don't tell Elena."

She felt sweat on her body and she felt like she was out of breath. Damon noticed this and gave her a glass of blood, "Here," he ordered.

She took it greedily like a hungry person who hasn't eaten for days. She brought the glass up to her lips and closed her eyes in bliss as the cold blood went down her throat. She felt like she hadn't eaten for days and was being starved to death.

Satine's face twisted in disgust as she threw the glass on the wall and barfed up the blood she just in her throat. Stefan stepped back and Damon came behind her and tried to soothe her by rubbing her back. She choked on the blood and couldn't swallow it. She coughed more blood up on the sheets.

Her lips quivered in fear as she wiped the blood off her face, but couldn't because there was too much.

"I'm sorry," she breathed to Damon. Stefan quickly came to her with a wet cloth and wiped the blood off her face.

There were tears down her face and she sniffed. Her head whirled to the open doorway. Katerina. She could hear the blood pumping through her veins and her heartbeat was going fast. Satine wondered where she was and what was happening to her, but all she could remember was the thing that her own sister did to her back when they were human.

Veins came onto Satine's and her fangs popped out as she used her vampire speed and lunged towards Katerina. She slammed her sister's body against the wall and held her by the neck choking her.

"How the hell are you human, Katerina?!" she yelled, "I never wanted my life to be like this! This is your fault! You're the reason why he died!"

Damon pulled her back and Stefan went to her side and Satine laughed and seethed, "Always the good dog aren't you, Stefan. Saint Stefan is what they called you. You are no saint! The Salvatore Brothers' are and will always be Katerina's little bitches!"

"Serena it's me…Elena," Katerina said.

Satine's eyes widened as she realized what was happening. "I'm sorry," She said softly and backed away from them. She gripped her hair through her hands on her head and started to cry and say as she fell down to the ground, "It hurts. The pain and misery it won't stop. It just keeps going and going and going."

She felt like all of the bones in her body were going limp and weak. She was about to fall when Damon's arms cached her and lifted her onto the bed and into the covers. He stroked her wet hair and said, "What did Katherine do to you?"

"It was Klaus…h-he said I hurt him." Satine breathed out in a very low voice.

"Son of a bitch," Damon violently whispered, her hands clenching into fists of anger.

"Klaus did this to her," Stefan said to Elena.

Elena came to her side and gripped her hand in hers, "I promise we'll find a way."

"I…you don't have to help, Elena…I never found a way to save you from the sacrifice." Satine told her.

Elena smiled and had tears in her eyes as she replied, "No, you did save me. John he told us what you told him to try and do. If it wasn't for you I would have been a vampire."

"Yeah sorry about that…Damon's an idiot." Satine teased which made Stefan smile a little and Elena laugh.

Damon rolled his eyes and said, "You're making jokes right now."

"I'm dying," she said simply.

"No, you're not going to die." Damon tried to convince her firmly, his voice hard and serious.

Stefan gave Elena a look and she got up and followed him out of the room. Damon gripped her hand tightly while sitting on the bed side.

"I'm going to die, Damon," she said.

Damon scoffed and shook his head madly, "No, no you're not going to die. Not right now. Not while I just found you."

"Why," she asked, "it's clear you're still in love with her and Elena. I'm not stupid…I know love when I see it."

Damon looked slightly shocked at her confession and said, "No, I don't."

"Yes you do."

"No I don't."

"Don't lie to me, Damon. Not right now." She told him breathlessly.

"I love you. Not them."

"It's ok if you do because I've been there."

Damon furrowed his brows and asked angrily, "How have you been there?"

She looked him in the eyes as she told him the truth once and for all while she was still slightly breathing, "Before I became a vampire…I met someone who was…perfect, he always knew how to make me laugh and he did it in the most ridiculous ways he could think of," she smiled brightly at the memory. "He was everything and I-I wanted him, I was willing to do anything for him."

Her smile went away and she noticed how Damon listened closely, waiting for her answer, "I loved him, Damon…until I found out he was the father of Katerina's child. She knew that I loved him and she went and did it anyways. I was so angry at her for betraying me like this. He was my first love and he claimed to love me too." She took a breath and continued with tears in her eyes, "I-I did something I'm not proud of, Damon. I became a vampire and I was out for blood…so I tortured and killed him when I had no emotions."

There was silence between for a while and then Damon broke it saying, "He deserved it."

Damon caressed her cheek and leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. "Plus, at least I know never to cheat on you. God knows what you'll do to me." He teased.

Satine didn't smile and said impassively, "You did though. Elijah saw to my revenge though."

Damon froze and asked trying to keep calm, "What did he tell you?"

"He didn't…I saw with my own eyes, Damon. I saw you carry my sister out from the carriage and the way you were willing to die for her. You were lucky that you're father killed you before I got there first."

She moved away from him in pain and forced her body to turn her back to him. She closed her eyes and waited.
