"Ooh, it looks like Elena isn't the only human that Damon's protective over," Katherine said, her smirk not faltering. "You went all threatening the instant that I even started talking to your boy-toy. And yet you didn't even say one word when I was touching this one-" Katherine stroked Sam's cheek, removing her hand before he could slap it away again. "Interesting… Especially when he knows that you're in love with Elena."
"Well I know how an old lady like you enjoys her soap operas," Damon said in a clearly unamused tone.
Dean had not needed Damon to defend him and he had been more than surprised when the vampire had spoken up against Katherine. He didn't overly like having someone else defend him, but he allowed it without an argument for just that once since it didn't seem like a good time to start a fight. Besides, a fight would probably just amuse Katherine more.
"What are you doing here, Katherine?" Stefan asked in a tone of disdain and boredom. "What do you want?"
"What do I want?" Katherine asked in a false tone of confusion. "Why would I want something?"
"Because you always want something," Elena responded for Stefan in a not so happy tone.
"You know what, you're right," Katherine responded. "I do want something. I want you two idiots to stop looking for me."
"So let me get this straight," Damon said. "You showed up in town and started drawing attention to yourself while trying to hide from us just so that you could try to convince us to stop looking for you." Damon's eyes flared as he aggressively told her. "We weren't looking for you before you came here. In fact we wish that you hadn't shown up."
"I didn't show up in town for you two morons," Katherine told him. "I came here more than a little while ago. Then all of a sudden one night you three decide to leave Mystic Falls and show up here. And you expect me to believe that it was a coincidence? Yeah right. I went over a hundred years without running into you when you thought that I was in the tomb."
"If you were here the whole time, don't you think that we would have noticed?" Damon snarled back.
"You didn't notice that I wasn't in the tomb for over a century. And if you hadn't opened it, then you probably never would have found out," Katherine retorted. "And you're much better at being dumb than playing it."
"We didn't know that you were here when we got here," Stefan told her, his eyebrows lowering as he looked at her trying to tell if she was telling the truth about being there first or not.
"That's because she wasn't here, Stefan," Damon argued.
Katherine's smirk returned as she watched the boys bickering in front of her.
"Funny, the way I remember it Damon's the one who wants to believe everything that I say and Stefan's the one who expects it all to be lies," Katherine commented.
"That's because he figured out how much of a conniving bitch you are first," Damon told her. "I got over you and your act a long time ago."
"You're both in love with the same girl again. A girl who looks exactly like me," Katherine pointed out. "Neither of you are really over me, you just tell yourselves that. If I wanted you two back, I could have you in an instant." A predatory grin formed on her lips as she raised an eyebrow and added, "And who knows, maybe I do."
A/N: Please read and review! Sorry that I haven't updated in months! I'm trying to start updating the Supernatural stories that I never planned on deserting, but somehow ended up not updating for months after starting to write Vampire Diaries stuff again along with my other stuff. So sorry if the updates are slow, but hopefully they won't be... Thanks for sticking with the story and I hope that you enjoyed the update! :)
An extra special thanks goes out to all of the amazing reviewers of the last chapter: Dark-Supernatural-Angel, .rain, Ange De La Misericorde, sassychesters, RedStalkingDeath, Akarsha, YaoiIsMyDrug.23, and the two anonymous guest reviewers :D
