Disclaimer: the Vampire Diaries belongs to the CW and LJ Smith! I`m just having fun with it!

Sorry for the wait, I`ve been busy and this chapter actually took me some time to finished it so I really hope you like it! It`s more about the past than the actual episode but it still happens inside the timeline.


The Last Dance

Sophie slowly stirred as she waked up. She opened her eyes feeling confused at first and started to get up leaning against the walls for help.

She knew she was weak and in pain. She suddenly remembered what happen the night before and felt the rage travel through her body.

It was dark but her enhanced sight let her see everything. She looked around and realized she was in the tomb, she sighed willing herself to calm down and walked to the entrance thanking anyone that left it open as she could see the light from outside coming in.

Her relieved was short live when she tried to cross it and hit an invisible wall.

She huffed in disbelieve and looked around again. She spotted the lamp Katherine used and inspected it to see if it still worked. It did, so she would be using it at night, meanwhile she put it down and inspected what else there was.

She found clothes and few other things but she ignored it all when she saw her family book. She took it and sighed once again as she sat down in defeat with the book in her hands. She carefully opened it as she waited near the entrance.

There seem to be a reason to why she wasn`t dead. It was obvious she would be having a visit at one point and she didn`t want to waste any more energy.

She was singing to herself a while later when she heard footsteps coming closer. Damon appeared smiling smugly as he notice her awake.

"Aren`t you cozy?" he asked with his arms crossed as he leaned against the entrance wall.

"Is this really necessary?" She asked motioning to the tomb with her hand

"How else am I going to get you alone?" he said taking a blood bag from his jacket pocket.

She speeded to the entrance on instinct but stop before being bounced back in. She slowly retreated back and sat back down calmly.

"I thought the spell was lifted" she said ignoring his smirk "Bonnie couldn`t possibly done this spell by herself, she`s not strong enough. Or is she?" she eyed Damon knowingly.

Damon shrugged his shoulders "You shouldn`t waste your energy. The vervain weakened you"

She glared at him "Very low of you, taking advantage of an innocent girl" she said sarcastically talking about how he tricked her.

He put the blood bag on the floor and took his flask out smirking not the least bit bothered "I wanted to do that for a while, may as well do it before I kill you"

She snorted "Don`t lie to yourself Damon"

"Oh?" he said expecting an answer as he slowly uncork the flask

"You are not going to kill me. You would have done it by now" she pointed out eyeing the blood bag not being able to help herself.

"Not yet anyway. I need to know something first" he said to her

She lifted an eyebrow in question

"Did you tell Katherine about Bonnie getting her powers back?" he asked serious once again

"Didn`t have the chance" she replied shrugging

He threw the liquid from the flask at her face and it burned her. She screamed mostly in surprise than because of the vervain.

"What the hell?" she glared at him while the burns slowly healed "I`m not lying to you, you idiot"

"Just in case…" he smirked at her and put the flask away again.

"You can be such an asshole" She laughed a bit hysterically "God! You never let things go, do you?"

"I checked your messages" he said showing her cell phone now "You have a few miss calls from Donovan here and this little message from Katherine…" he trailed off but she stayed quiet "So! I guess I believe you didn`t know Katherine was betraying us" he said shrugging his shoulders

"Good. Then you can let me go" she said getting up still supporting her weight on the wall

"Doesn`t mean I shouldn`t kill you. You`re unpredictable, almost as much as me" he continued saying

"But you won`t" she said with confidence

"And you`re sure of this why?" he asked sarcastically but she could tell he was amused

"Katherine is gone. But I still know things you don`t and now Klaus knows exactly where Elena is" she smirked when he gritted his teeth in annoyance at the blatant truth

"You are curious, aren`t you Damon?" she asked

He scoffed "About what?"

"I offered you once to tell you about my past. You didn`t need to do this" she said with an almost hurt look now

"I don`t have time for a history lesson. You tell me about Klaus and I toss the blood to your side" he said but she could notice a glint in his blue eyes. He wanted to know.

"You don`t trust me now Damon but I`m a very patient woman. I am hungry but that`s not want I ultimately want"

"You want me to trust you?" he asked looking at her like she was crazy

She shrugged her shoulders "Ideally. I want to get out of here, I want Klaus dead and to do that, we need to work together"

He snorted incredulously "I heard those words before, from Katherine. And you, my dear, are Katherine`s sister"

"You don`t know me Damon. You didn`t judge Elena given her looks. I would have expected the same treatment"

He scoffed at her. "You are not Elena" he stated

"I`m not Katherine either" she pointed out.

He stayed quiet and looked her over curiously

"There is something I want to know" he said and she took it as a truce from his part "You are physically older than Katherine, but I know she was older than you as a human. How did you survived? How did you turned?"

"I thought we were wasting time" she said crossing her arms

"Humor me here"

"She didn`t purposely change me if that`s what you`re asking" she smiled as she leaned her head on the wall

1498 Macedonia

Sofia walked to the hill with effort as she grabbed her dress. She was getting tired but as she got to the top she could see the pinks in the sky signaling the twilight. She lied down to catch her breath and closed her eyes to enjoy the breeze. The nights were a bit chilly this fall so she covered herself more.

She opened her eyes and looked for the first star as she always used to do as a child. It truly was a beautiful day she thought to herself. She thought of her family and cried alone once again.

When she was younger she remembered crying with Katerina`s arms around her as her only comfort; She didn`t cry in front of her sister anymore for she could see how much it hurt her too.

She stood up and looked at the sky again, it was almost night, Katerina will be able to come out soon and she would come looking for her. She went down hill trough a different path then, this one was more difficult but it would take her to a beautiful lake just across the cottage. The path was covered in large rocks and boulders that one could use for support.

She could feel excitement in her veins as the day ended and the night began. She lost her footing and gave a small scream as she fell down rolling around and hitting more rocks. She hit her head and close her eyes once she finally reached the bottom.

She sat up and gave a hiss of pain as she examined her arms, there were a few cuts and scratches and her dress looked dirty and torn.

She touched her head and quickly took her hand away feeling the painful swelling.

She huffed and tried to get up but changed her mind due to the pain in her ankle.

"Katerina!" she screamed knowing now in the night she would find her.

Her older sister appeared only a few seconds after with her fangs showing. Sofia`s heart pump faster as she could see Katerina eyeing her bloody cuts. She stayed perfectly still waiting until her sister took control of her features once again.

"What on earth happened Sofia?" Katerina asked already calm as she got closer

"I fell" she said and pointed to the rocky path. Katerina followed the direction she pointed with her eyes and Sophie saw she understood what happened.

"Why would you do such a foolish deed?" she asked her upset as she bite her wrist and show it to her sister "Drink" she commanded her and Sophie took the arm closer to her mouth to do it.

Katerina quickly took her arm away and huffed upset

"Now I have to stay with you until the blood leaves your veins" she said and helped her up.

"I thought you needed to hunt?" Sofia asked "You certainly look thirsty"

"I cannot leave you on your own now" Katerina said as they walked

"You must go!" Sofia insisted and Katerina looked at her curiously

"Alright, if you insist. Would you go directy to the cottage? No more wandering for this night" she said smiling

"Yes, no more hills" Sofia smiled. Katerina looked around not finding any danger and kissed her sister´s cheek before quickly leaving.

Sofia stood there for a while and walked more quickly to the lake. She arrived to the shore were she could spot the cottage just to the opposite side.

She bend down taking rocks just the size of her fists and put it in her dress pockets. She stood up and slowly walked inside the lake. Her dress felt heavy and her teeth were chattering the more she entered. The water was at her breast now when she quickly turned around and dragged herself out. She was breathing hard and her feet slide in the mud when she reached the shore again.

She dropped to her knees supporting herself with her arms in the sand and her head down. She gave a broken sob standing up with much difficulty, her limbs felt heavy and cold.

"Prosti mi, Gospodi" she whispered before once again entering the lake this time running until she couldn´t touch the ground anymore. Her dress pull her down and she gave herself to exhaustion. (Forgive me, My Lord)

"You killed yourself too" Damon said in disbelieve and shook his head

"She really shouldn`t have told me how she changed" she replied talking about Katherine

He cracked a smile "You manipulated Katherine" he laughed finding it ironic.

She shrugged "We`re family"

"Why would you want to turn?" he asked serious again

"I was young and naive" she said playing with her hair as she thought "I thought I was being selfless. Not leaving her alone for all eternity" she briefly looked away "Plus I wanted revenge" she said staring back at him "I made a mistake, It`s done"

"You just threw your life away for her" he said to her

"You did the same back in 1864, and now you`re willing to do the same with Elena" she said not liking his tone

"Yeah but Elena deserves it" he scoffed.

"Oh please, you`re such an hypocrite. Katherine did what you want Elena to do. She saved herself and deep down you want her to do the same. You don`t care who dies as long as Elena lives"

"A lot of good that did to her. She´s probably dead now" Damon said to her

"I suppose that is a possibility. But if there is one thing I know about Klaus is that he loves his games" she said annoy

Damon looked a t her curiously

"So you met Klaus before" he stated

"Mm huh" she nodded at him

"We have to assume he knows everything Katherine knows. Aren´t you scared your sister ratted you out. I don´t think he´ll be too happy about that" he smirked at her

"After my change I spent close to 50 years creating a new persona and learning what I could about the originals" she said ignoring him "It`s how I learned about their ability to compel vampires, but I also learned that even though they can compel us, there is a way around the compulsion, mostly in interrogations. So you see, I´m sure Klaus knows of my presence, not so much of my family´s name" she explained to him

"So Katherine could said she knows Sophie Keats is here and not Sofia Petrova" he stated understanding her point "Clever" he said looking impressed

"Yes, but I´m actually most known as Sofia Levski" she said before explaining "I met Elijah around 1550, I suppose I was considered his protégé for most. I learn a lot about them and their way of life. After 150 years of making a name of myself I left. I was known and feared and most importantly, no one ever suspected my relation to Katerina"

Damon´s cell phone rang disturbing the peace and he quickly took it out as Sophie looked amused.

"Stefan?" he answered "I´m busy right now"

"It´s Klaus" they heard Stefan´s voice say "He left us a message at the school today. We need to talk"

"Ok, I´m on my way home, I´m calling Alaric too" he said quickly exchanging a look with Sophie and hanging up.

"He´s here" Sophie pointed out "You should let me out" she said standing up

"Yeah, not gonna happen" he said and quickly tossed her the blood bag before turning around to leave.

She grabbed it but ignore it for now "Damon! I can help you! get me out!" she screamed to his back only to be ignore.


She opened her eyes and gave a huge breath before going into a coughing fit.

"What did you do Sofia!" she heard her sister´s voice next to her. Katerina looked more furious that she had ever seen her.

"I did what you wouldn`t do. What was necessary" Sofia said getting up and walking closer to the chimney. Her dress was soaked and she needed the heat.

"What was necessary? How was this necessary!" Katerina screamed and Sofia looked at her surprised at the outburst.

"I am no longer a nuisance. I will no longer keep you from anything" Sofia passionately explained "Did you not want me as a companion? Perhaps you were going to abandon me" she said looking around

"No!" Katerina gave her a desperate look

"I thought you said it was a choice. My choice!" Sofia said angrily

"So you choose to be a demon, condemn to live in the shadows for eternity" Katerina stated

"I knew you would not change me, this is why I did this" Sofia said accusingly "And yet you did the same"

"You were free to live. I was not" Katerina said more calmly "I wanted you to live, to married and have children, to continue our line!"

Sofia licked her lips nervously and walked to her sister hugging her "I did this, there is no one to blame but myself but it is done, I do not regret it yet. Now be a good sister and forgive my sin"

Katerina hugged her back and cry in her shoulder.


Damon came back to the tomb after the meeting with Stefan, Bonnie, Elena and Alaric at the Boardinghouse. He needed to know more about Klaus now and there was only one person that could help him now.

He found her at the entrance still. The empty blood bag tossed near her feet. She lazily looked at him as he got closer

"I need to know more" he said

"Get me out of here" she immediately replied

"I don´t think so" he instantly said

"What happened with Klaus?" she asked instead

"It looks like he´s here, leaving messages to Elena that he´ll be at this school dance they have tonight" he told her

She hummed thoughtfully "I told you, he loves to play mind games"

"Does that mean you don´t think he´s really here?" he asked

"Oh no, I think he is here. That means he wants you to know he´s coming for you" she told him with distaste "So why don´t you bring the little witch and get me out of here"

"What should we expect? Witches? More vampires?" he asked ignoring her request

She sighed and didn´t answered him "You know, we didn´t always get along, Katherine and I" she explained

He made a sound of impatience "Talk to me about Klaus"

"We don´t agree in lot of things so maybe you´re right in not trusting me" she said distracted

"And here I thought I was the crazy one" Damon said rolling his eyes at her

She glared at him briefly before looking away "After I left Elijah, it took me a few more years to tracked down Katherine. When I found her, she wasn`t the same and I supposed neither was I. She was suspicious of me, she never said anything but I could tell" she said thoughtfully "She was colder. She was jealous of me and for me. She feared she was no longer important to me and at the same time resented me"

"Why would she resent you" he asked disbelievingly

"When I found her, she didn´t even thought I would still be alive, I was different, I didn´t worshipped her anymore. I was no longer the little sister she wanted to protect"

Damon huffed at that

"I respected the Originals believes in honor and truth. In a perfect world perhaps I` ll still go by that but much has change since those days. That didn´t help to diminish her resentment" she paused back to look at Damon in the eyes

"I suppose we rekindle after some time but our relationship was very different from what once was. I´m sure you can relate" she said with a smirk

"What are you trying to get me to think with all of this? Suddenly you´re against Katherine and I should get you out and is Us against the World kind of bullshit?" he said exasperated

She gave a deep sigh and narrowed her eyes at him

"I´m just talking Damon and no, I´m not against my sister, I love her and will always try to help her and yes, I want to get out of here"

"And I`m supposed to believed that you won`t try to do what Katherine did and take Elena again for some deal with Klaus?" he scoffed

"Unlike my sister, I want no deal with Klaus. I was never being chased, I want him dead and I won`t stop until he is"

"Why?" he asked lifting his arms as a sign of impatience and exasperation

"Katherine`s parents were my parents too Damon. I had a little brother, two other sisters" she stand up and started pacing "They came for us, we didn`t know why, they just kill them all. I remember their screaming and they left me for dead. So you see, for me, there is no deal"

He stayed quiet after that.

"Ok" he finally said

"Ok what?" she asked confused

"Ok, I´m listening" he said and she gave him a small smile

"Make no mistake, Katherine certainly prefers him dead. But if she thinks that´s impossible she will settle for some deal but she knows I won`t give up"

"So she´ll leave you on your own?" he said "Of course she`ll betrayed you too"

"She won`t see it as a betrayal but as a tactical move. In her eyes she`ll be pardoned so no one would chase her. And you know we can be patient, she would have come for me after that" she explained confident

"So you think she´s alive and made some kind of deal with Klaus" he stated

"It´s a possibility but I also think Klaus is a bastard who would say one thing and do something else. He´s no Elijah"

"So you want revenge" he simply summarized "Ever thought about just letting go? I mean let´s assume Katherine actually manages to get out of this, she has done it before, they would never know about you"

"It`s too late now" she said sighing.

"Why?"

"You know why, you know more than anyone" she said before explaining "I´ve been a vampire for more than five hundred years. All of what I did can`t be for nothing. There must be a reason. I`ll go mad if there isn`t"

Damon rubbed his face thinking

"I have to go prepare for the dance" he said and she nodded at him.

"Hey Damon" she called as he turned to leave "He´ll come on his own and if he has some witch with him Bonnie will be able to sense it"

"Thanks" he said and left.

"Be careful" she said to no one
