Wow, I am back \m/ it's been so long. Like four months? That's long for me :))

Okay, so here I am and I am going to do the next few chapters :)

"Oh, laugh at me will you. Get the flashlights, candles, and lighter in the broom closet in the kitchen right next to the stove."

Elena, stumbled against everything in her way. "Stupid human eyes... Ow. GOD!" She tripped over the chair near the dresser and fell flat on her chest. "GOD..."

"Elena, you okay?" Damon held out a hand and Elena couldn't see it. She flung her arms around feeling for his hand.

"Damon, where is your hand? It is too dark for me to see..." Elena hissed.

Damon chuckled and just took her hand. "You could've done that minutes ago..." She added.

"Well... I wanted to know if you'd ever find my hand..." He was laughing at her! How could he laugh at her?

"Oh, laugh at me will you. Get the flashlights, candles, and lighter in the broom closet in the kitchen right next to the stove."

"Very mature, Damon... very mature..." Elena mumbled as she flicked a flashlight on. "Damon?" She swung the light around, Damon couldn't be found. "What are you up to now, Damon?" She called out as she walked up the stairs carrying a vervain coated steak knife that she kept in the drawer with the utensils.

"Elena!" She heard his mocking, sing-song voice from up in one of the rooms.

"Come out, Damon." Elena mocked in the same tone as she climbed up the stairs, clutching the knife tightly in her hand.

"Playing games, are we?" He called out and appeared behind her. "What's with the knife?"

"Oh, it's nothing!" Elena giggled as she stuffed the knife into her bottoms, which was an extremely stupid move.

"Are you sure?" Damon couldn't read the expression on her face. It had come across surprised, scared, suspicious, and 'oh-it's-nothing!-you-saw-nothing!' It was confusing Damon and it frustrated him. "Elena, you're breathing has hitched, your eyes are dilating way too much, and it's too cold for you to be sweating right now. What's going on?"

"I... I... Damon, I may seem nuts right now; bipolar even, but... yeah..." Elena was speaking at a rapid pace, and took every part of Damon's will power not to shut her up. "I like you, you know that, don't you?"

"Yes, of course I know that. I've always known..." Damon ran his fingers through her hair.

"Then, you know that... even if I hate Stefan now, that, I'd prefer to stay away from you first?" Elena asked.

"What? Elena, you're confusing me..." Damon had stepped back from her and stared into her eyes.

"Even I'm confusing myself, but it makes a lot of sense if I didn't have to explain. It's hard to explain..." Elena rushed as she made hand gestures to support herself.

"Elena... what are you trying to say?" He was perplexed to the extent that he remembered that Damon Salvatore hardly ever got confused.

"I am so sorry for being and Almost Katherine..." Then she drew her steak knife and stabbed him just next to his belly button.

"Vervain? Why, Elena?" He gagged as he rolled onto the floor.

"I told you, It's very hard to explain!" Elena ran off into her room and the door slammed.

Damon was crying endlessly as he had had his undead heart broken again.

Why am I doing this? What made me do this? WHO is making me do this? Elena cried. Why did I do that? I'd never do that. I'd NEVER do that!

"Oh, really?" a voice drawled out from her bedroom window. "Really, Elena?" the voice cold and sardonic. "I mean, you haven't even thought of me as a possibility of the act?" Katherine.

"What the hell is your problem with me Katherine?" Elena cried out as she turned to face her and simultaneously heard Damon's pain filled cry from downstairs.

"Elena, must we go through this again?" Katherine said in a sing-song voice as she bobbed her head side to side. "Okay," she lapped her hands together. "Stefan and Damon are mine. You came in the way a hundred and so years later after I supposedly "died," in which I give myself applause because it was so convincing. Next, Stefan and Damon fell for the foolish, stupid, vulnerable, humane clone of myself," she gave a face of disgust and pretended to throw up. "And it pissed me off. So. I. Want. Them. Back. Gilbert." each word was emphasized by a heavy footstep as Katherine approached Elena in a deadly manner.

"Katherine... KATHERINE!" Elena yelled as the vampire was only three feet away.

Katherine fell to a halt. "What?"

"I am sick and tired of you!" Elena yelled out. "I am sick and tired of all the crap you have brought to me and the ones I care for the most."

"Where have I heard that bef-" Katherine chuckled but Elena stopped her.

"JUST SHUT UP, KATHERINE!" A kind of fury that Elena never knew that she'd possessed had just revealed itself now. Katherine cringed at the sound of Elena's voice. "I AM SICK OF HOW GREAT YOU THINK YOURSELF TO BE. YOU ARE JUST A VAIN, PERSISTENT, STUCK UP, PAIN IN THE... you get my point!"

"You do not talk to me like that, Elena." Katherine just giggled. "You'll regret it."

"What's there to regret? So what if I die because of telling you the truth? Suck it, Katherine!" Elena chuckled maniacally.

"Oh, I will." Katherine phased into her vampire self and lunged at Elena and bit her on the throat. Elena shrieked and thrashed about beneath Katherine.

"Get off me! Get off me!" Elena yelled and pulled at Katherine's hair. She grabbed Katherine's hand and pulled off the Lapis Lazuli ring and pulled the necklace off the vampire's neck and shoved them beneath her bed.

"All done sucking it, my dearest Elena..." then she left through the window.

Good luck burning up, bitch, you'll need it... Elena thought as she slipped on Katherine's ring and necklace.

It's so short T.T I know. But, promise... it'll be longer and less confusing next time :D
