Chapter 12-Return

Vampires can shut off there feelings. They never have to feel. And a lot of us do that, because when you feel the bad, you feel the bad worse than ever.

But I never did shut everything off.

It's tempting, when you feeling grief really bad like I did just now. I'd lost two of my friends. Everyone I'd known had died in a fire. I was probably the only tomb Vampire alive.

Stefan let me stay at the boarding house that night. Damon didn't seem to want me there, but he put up with it. He was downstairs the next morning.

"I hate to admit it, but you were right." Damon said.

"About what?" I said.

"Katherine." Damon smiled. "For some reason she's here. She also kissed me."

I laughed. "Never give up, do you?"

"I thought it was Elena."

"I thought she was dating your brother." I said. "He's not going to be to happy when he realises you kissed her-"

"I didn't. I kissed Katherine." Damon said.

He darted across the room, pinning me against the wall. "All right. What is Katherine doing here?"

I pushed across the room, pinning him against the wall. "I'm older and stronger than you. Don't get on my bad side, Damon."

I let him go. He didn't try again.

"I don't know what she's doing. I don't like her, Damon. She doesn't like me much. She I't have said much to me, would she? I't have told me her master plan."

Stefan came into the house. "Katherine's back."

"I know." Damon said. "She says she doesn't know anything."

"She said "I least fooled one of you." What does that mean?" Stefan stared at Damon.

"She fooled me." Damon said.

"She kissed Damon." I said with a slight smile. "Damon kissed her back. He thought it was Elena."

Katherine-look alike stepped into the room behind Stefan. Or was it Katherine? Since they were both in town...

"Is that Katherine?" I asked.

"That's Elena." Stefan said. "Isabella-"

"Bella." I said.

"Bella." Stefan corrected himself. "Do you know why Katherine's here? If you don't want to tell Damon, fine. He's not the most trusting person. But if you know something-"

"I don't. But she said there'd be trouble. I thought that was the Gilbert device." I shrugged.

"Katherine knew about that." Stefan agreed. "What was Edward Mason doing here?"

"Edward Mason? He should be dead." Damon said. "He was here in 1864. Did you turn him?"

"No!" I said, shocked that he'd even though that. "Why would I-Why would I wantto?"

"Then who turned him?" Damon said. "If you didn't, who did?"

"He's not a Vampire. Well, he is but not like us, exactly." I explained. "He's different. And I don't think he needs Lapis Lazuli to go out into the sun-"

"Whatever." Damon said. "What's he doing here, anyway?"

"Stalking me." I said. "That's what. He seems to think I'm incapable of staying alive..." I stood up, walking from the room.

"Where are you going?" Stefan called.

"Finding Katherine." I said. "Shouldn't be to hard, right?"

It wasn't.

She was at the Lockwood manor. I saw her smiling slightly, watching Damon and someone else.

"I wondered when I'd see you again." Katherine didn't look at me. She continued watching Damon. "That's Bonnie Bennett. You remember Emily, right? You have her to thank for being alive..."

"That's a witch?" I said. Katherine nodded.

"You didn't take my advice." Katherine said. "I told you, Isabella. You should stay away from this place."

"It's Bella." I said. "What are doing here, Katherine? Why do you always have to come here and..."

"I'm saving my neck." Katherine shrugged. "I always will save my own neck before anyone else's."

Damon clutched his head, and moaned in pain. "So the witch is more powerful than I thought." Katherine muttered. "I should have known. She was the one who got that tomb open. Not without help though...here she comes."

The witch-"Bonnie" came over. Katherine smiled at me. I frowned.

"Oh my god. Damon drives me crazy! He's walking around like he's some kind of hero for healing Caroline when it's his fault all of this happened in the first place." Bonnie said. Katherine smiled. My eyes narrowed.

"I'm sorry, Bonnie. What Damon's done is just awful." Katherine said. "Bonnie-this is Isabella. She's a friend."

"Bella." I said. "I'm Bella now. And what has Damon done?"

"It's terrible." Katherine sighed. "He's killed lots of people, Bella. Lots and lot's of innocent people."

"What?" I stared at her, surprised that she was shocked by Damon killing people. She was a killer, much as she said she wasn't. She killed to eat.

"It's true. Did he have you fooled too, Bella?" Katherine sighed. "It's an act, Bella."

Bonnie touched Elena's wrist, and gasped. She backed away. Katherine smiled.

"I've got to find Tyler and pay my respects." She said. "I'll be back."

Bonnie walked away, moving fast. I stared at Katherine.

"Have you become a pacifist in the last century, or something? Because, you know something, Katherine? You're probably worse that Damon."

"I was pretending, Bella." Katherine sighed. "I was being Elena. My Doppelganger. And that witch-Bonnie…she's a friend of Elena's."

"Katherine…what are you up to?" I said. "Is this about jealousy? Both Stefan and Damon are obsessed with a girl that looks like you?"

Katherine snorted. "Please, Bella. They're obsessed with her because of me. Once they see I'm back and all alive…well, they'll take me back. No question there."

"Hmm." I frowned. "Fine. I can't stop you, I guess. None of my business what happens between you and Stefan and Damon and Elena. But she has a life, Katherine. She may be human, but you were once too. And the people here? They have a life too."

"What are you talking about?" Katherine rolled her eyes. "When would I have been human?"

I walked away from her. I didn't want anything to do with.

"Bella, you need to leave here."

I groaned, and turned around to face Edward Cullen. "What the hell are you doing here?" I hissed at him, furious.

"Bella, the Children of the Moon are here."

"What?" I said. "Oh. Right. Werewolf."

"That man there." Edward pointed. "His name's Mason Lockwood. I never knew the Lockwood's were Werewolves."

"I did." I said. "I know that George Lockwood was one."

"They can kill us-"

"Good!" I said, looking him in the eye. "Because I don't know how to. This is your fault, Edward. Remember!"

"I saved your life!"

I glared at him. "I didn't need saving. And what are you doing in Mystic Falls?"

"Yes. What are you?"

"Thank you, Damon." I said. "Perfect timing. Edward, this is Damon. You know each other, right? Excellent! I'll let you have a chat."

Damon smiled slightly. "Perfect timing. You leaving, Isabella."

"Bella." I said firmly. "And yes. I am. Katherine's here. I don't particularly want to be anywhere near her."

Good plan." Damon agreed. "Well, nice seeing you, Bella. Hope we meet again."

"Oh, I doubt it." I said. "Bye Damon."

Please Review. I put the next chapter up today if I can. Elka.
