A Light At Midnight

Chapter 11

Stefan's POV:

"Take care of Katherine, I will check on Elena." Damon commanded then he was off.

There she was, the once love of my life lying on the floor gagging from vervain, again. My thoughts went back to her last night with me; she went to bite me and started to gag. I didn't know my father slipped vervain in my drink that night.

"Stefan, kill her." A voice brought me from my memories.

Elena's POV:

"Elena, Elena!" An all too familiar voice was calling me. I wanted to answer but I couldn't, I felt strong but tired. I couldn't open my eyes, I couldn't move, I was so tired.

"Elena, please wake up." The familiar voice asked again with a hint of worry. Who could it be? It wasn't Stefan or Jeremy. It was Damon. Since when is Damon worried about anything?

My eye lids fluttered opened, Damon was standing over me. "Are you okay?" He asked sounding concerned.

"I'm okay but, I feel really tired and strong."

"When Katherine bit you, she left you with very little pulse, I gave you my blood but, you must have still died with it in your system." Damon explained. I nodded knowing exactly what he means.

I looked around quickly, I didn't see Stefan. "Where's Stefan?" I looked up to see Damon inches away from my face.

"Taking care of Katherine." I felt his breath on my face. I missed him. I closed the little distance there was between us and pressed my lips to his.

Stefan's POV:

I went to check on Alaric before I faced Katherine. "I'm fine, take this and finish her." He said handing me a stake. I looked at it for a minute, can I really kill her? I had to, she almost killed Elena.

I walked back to Katherine who was lying on the floor struggling. I bent over and held the stake over her heart and froze. I loved her but, I love Elena now. I took a glance over to Elena, she was kissing Damon. How could they do that to me?

I turned back to Katherine, her eyes full of pain. I had to help her, I love her. I threw the stake behind me and it the wall with a thud. I saw a little hope flash in her eyes but, pain quickly took over again. I offered her my hand and she took it. In a flash I helped her up and put an arm around her for support and ran us upstairs. I sat her on the chair and said, "I'll be back." I ran back downstairs to get the others.

"How could you do that after all that she's done?" Alaric asked staring at me in mock horror.

"I love her." I explained simply. I ordered him upstairs assuring him that Katherine is far too weak to hurt him. He listened and left.

Elena's POV:

I broke the kiss needing air. "Missed me?" He asked with a smirk plastered on his face. I blushed a little knowing it was the truth. "I'll take that as a yes." He put an arm around my waist and started to walk when Stefan appeared in front of us.

"Hello little brother." Damon said a little smug. Stefan gave an evil glare.

"Stefan, I can explain." I pleaded.

"No need Elena, I know what happened. You were with him and me but it turned out you loved him more. I love Katherine so it doesn't matter." He said bitterly.

"What, you let her live? You know what she did." Damon asked confused.

"There is no use Damon." He turned his back to leave.

"Stefan, it's not like that. Please let me explain." It was too late he was already gone.

Thank you VampireExpert101 for the tip.

Hope everyone is okay with me having Katherine live in this chapter. (I have plans) Trying to make it different from everyone else's story.
