I know it's been awhile but my week was waaaay too eventful.

Katherine wasn't going to leave Fell's Church just yet. She needed to visit two more people before she could peacefully leave. Luckily, she found Stefan in the first place she looked: a small river in the forest. In Italy, he had told her that he either liked to go to the lake nearby his father's estate or to the greenhouse in the large manor where he lived to think. He sat on a stone by the edge of the lake. He sat throwing stones into the lake and she watched as they skipped about 6 times before drowning in the water. He didn't hear her, or at least, he didn't turn around.
"Stefan? Can I talk to you",she asked. He turned around and looked her from top to bottom. It was amazing that the last time he had seen her was when corsets were worn by every woman.
"What is it, Katherine?"
"I just wanted to say that...I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I manipulated your feelings and compelled you to love me. It's just that...I really did love you. But I could see that you weren't. Now I know why."
"What do you mean?"
"I've been alive a bit longer than you, Stefan. And I've learned that in your life, there will always be one perfect person for you. Even if you're a vampire. But, something needs to happen before you can meet them. Anyways, you didn't love me because your heart has always belonged to Elena. I see that now. I just hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me."
"Katherine...I-" He got up and hugged her. She knew to him that it wasn't much but to her, it was her whole world.

After Stefan left the forest, he went back to the Boarding House. Elena sat in the living room and seemed to be staring intently at the fireplace.
"Elena?" She turned around and ran towards him. She was surprisingly strong for a new vampire. She had almost knocked him down when she ran towards him. She looked up at him. It was that precise moment that he leaned down and kissed her. This kiss was...sweet. He did it just to show her how much he loved her, which was infinitely. She pulled back and gazed into his eyes. He returned the gaze and just remained fixed upon her dark lapis eyes and thick lashes.
"Stefan?"
"Yes, Elena?"
"I want to leave."
"What?"
"I have never been outside of Fell's Church in my entire life. I want to see the world. I want to go to different places like Europe. I want to see the Brandenburg Gate in Germany. The Coliseum in Italy. The Eiffel Tower in France. I want to see it all. But, I want to see it with you."
"Elena...okay. If I can now have an eternity with you, we can do whatever you want. If you want to go to Germany, Italy, France, you can."
"I wouldn't mind going to Prague either."
"Where would you want to go first?"
She smiled at him and whispered a country name in his ear.

Katherine walked into the backyard of the Boarding House. Damon sat on one of the stone benches placed in the garden section. She confidently walked towards him. He looked surprised to see her.
"Can I sit",she asked, indicating the empty spot next to him where Bonnie had sat earlier. He nodded.
"I'm sorry that I strung you along. I...was completely blind to how you felt about me, Damon. I was too occupied with Stefan and I am so sorry. Now, I'm not asking for you to be with me now because I know your answer."
"Katherine. I forgive you. Mainly because, if I didn't have my heart broken, I never would've met Bonnie. Let's say you and I did end up together in 1592. If we did, I never would've gone to Minnesota and I never would've fallen in love with Bonnie. So, what I'm kind of saying is...thank you." She smiled as she got off the bench and turned to face the forest.
"I know I just came but, I'm leaving now",she explained.
"It's alright. I'm just happy I could see you again. Goodbye, Katherine. I hope someday we can meet again."
"Don't worry, we will. Goodbye Damon." She turned to face him one last time before she sped off into the forest and left Fell's Church.

Dear Jeremy,

I want you to know that I'm okay. In fact, I'm better than okay. I'm great. I'm in one of Europe's many countries with Stefan. I hope things with you and Mom are okay now. Have you heard anything from Dad? You probably haven't but sometimes it's good to know in case he did. How's your training been? I'm sorry I can't train you anymore. But hey, you'll be fine. That is, if you still want that life. I still haven't forgotten what you said to me when you were like 16. You said you would leave that life and live a normal one. Honestly, I would have to. I never said anything because I was scared of what Mom would say. How is she by the way? She probably still hates me. I'm just happy you don't. I know this letter isn't long but I just wanted you to know I'm okay. And, I miss you. I hope I'll write to you again soon!

Love, your sister, Elena

She put her pen down and put the letter in an envelope. Suddenly, she felt warm hands on her shoulders. Looking up, she saw Stefan's smiling face above her's. Stretching upward, she kissed him.
"Are you happy here",he asked her.
She nodded, looking out the window at their perfect view of Paris. Next week, they'd planned on going to Germany and then to Italy. She was happy that she no longer led the life chosen for her. It was comforting to know that she could go out and not get attacked by a vampire. But wasn't that how her story with Stefan started? A vampire had been attacking him when they first met. She laughed at the memory. It was amazing that they had become what they were now. They were something she thought could never happen. A vampire hunter (well, ex-vampire hunter) and a vampire meeting and actually tolerating each other for more than 5 got up from the chair and went to lie down on the bed. Stefan soon lay down in the spot next to her. Apparently it was true. Opposites attract.
