Chapter 11 – Meeting Katherine

Damon had dropped me home once we had arrived back in Mystic Falls; he told me that I had to stay away from everything that was going on. I was really peeved, but he said it was because the thought of me getting hurt was too much for him to handle. Then being Damon he went onto say that he couldn't lose me before we had sex, with that annoyingly sexy smirk of his plastered all over his face.

I lay in bed that night thinking of everything that has happened during the day. Everything that Damon had told me seemed to hit home; Elena was in danger and as Damon was making it his duty to protect her he was too. I couldn't allow him to get hurt so I decided that I was going straight over to the Salvatore mansion in the morning. Damon was going to have to get used to the idea of me being involved now, they could use my help – I am a witch after all.

I awoke after a restless sleep at around 6AM and knowing I couldn't possibly go back to sleep I jumped in the shower, through on a white vest top and blue jeggings, shoved my hair into a messy pony and headed over to Damon's humble abode. It wasn't until I pulled up in front of his front door that I realised I had no make-up on and I must look terrible. I know there are a lot of things going on far more worthy of my worry but I couldn't help but to panic. Damon hadn't seen me without any make-up on before and he was a bit of a man whore – what if the site of me looking like this put him off of me! Don't judge me people, I am still a girl! Pulling myself together I opened my car door and made my way up to their front porch.

Knocking on the door cautiously – after all it was only 6.45am they could still be asleep – I started chewing my nails anxiously waiting for the door to open. After about 40 seconds and just before I was about to get in the car and drive away the door finally opened. The person who opened it looked exactly like Elena although I knew straight away that it wasn't.

'You must be Katherine, my goodness the resemblance really is exact.' I said staring at her face searching for even the slightest difference from Elena's. There wasn't one, only that Katherine's hair was wavy and Elena always wore hers straight. She looked at me slightly confused, Damon obviously hadn't told her about me. 'Is Damon home?' I asked slightly annoyed that she was just stood there without saying a word.

'Whose asking?' She questioned eyeing me up like I was a piece of meat, some of her mannerisms where very similar to Damon's. Just as she asked me the question I heard the boys talking somewhere behind her.

'Isobel just showed up on her front door step.' I heard Stefan say.

'What's she doing here?' Damon asked his brother with confusion clear in his voice.

'I don't know, that's what I am gonna go and find out.' I saw them come around the corner than and into sight. Katherine turned away from the front door leaving it open so I can walk in, which I did.

'I don't think that you should tell her that I am here.' Katherine said to the brothers. 'Oh and Damon you have a visitor.' She looked at me with disgust and him with a 'you could do better look' on her face. I hated her already.

Damon's eyes rested on mine with a look of concern on his face, but there was also an expression that told me he expected me to come.

'What are you doing here Summer?' He asked as he walked towards me and took my hand. 'You need to go home, I don't want you to be a part of this, I thought I made that clear last night.' He walked me to the front door, clearly indicating that I needed to leave.

'I'm sorry Damon but I am not going anywhere. I know what you said but I can't just ignore everything that is going on around me. Not when I know the people I care about are in danger. I understand that you care for Elena so you feel bound to protect her but I...' I hesitated for a moment not sure if I should continue whilst other people were in the room, Damon and I had only just admitted out feelings to each other, I wasn't sure if either of us were ready to flaunt them in front of anyone else. I then decided I needed to tell him and whispered in his ear 'I care about you Damon, and I will be damned if I let you get hurt without even trying to help.' Of course, Stefan and Katherine are vampires so they heard the last part of our conversation as clear as day anyway.

'Well ain't that sweet.' Taunted Katherine 'You've found yourself a little girlfriend Damon, how long until you get bored of this one?'

That was it, I had had enough of her and her sarcastic remarks, she may be an old vampire bitch but I am a witch and I can do things she certainly cannot! I used my magic to pin her against the wall with an almighty force, lit one of the candles that were placed in their holders on the wall and levitated it near her hair.

'One more remark like that one Katherine, I might accidentally lose control over this candle and light your skinny ass on fire.' I said pissed off that she could talk down on me like that.

'Hey, Summer stop it now!' Stefan pleaded. 'Katherine stop winding her up, I wouldn't blame her if she did set you alight, in fact I would welcome it but I know she would feel guilty afterwards, so shut the hell up!' He said menacingly to the super bitch. Pleased that Stefan clearly didn't like her I managed to get control of my anger and let the candle fall to the floor unlit. I still had her up against the wall and I confidently walked up to her until my face was inches from hers.

'You listen to me bitch, I will not have you taunting me or giving me disgusted looks. These two might put up with your bullshit but I am warning you now, I won't. I am not afraid of you Katherine and I will not think twice about killing you if you push me. So don't. Okay?' I said in a menacing voice that was hardly recognisable to me. Wow she really has pissed me off – I never do anything like what I am doing now. Realizing what a maniac I must look to Damon I finally let her fall down to the floor and looked at him apologetically.

'Don't look at me like the Summer, I personally found that very impressive and extremely hot. I couldn't have said it better myself either. Bravo sexy. Bravo!' He said and making a show of walking over to me and kissing me hard on the lips in front of both Stefan and Katherine. I was pleased that he still thought I was sexy without any make-up on. Panic over on that situation. 'And just so you know Katherine, I don't plan to get rid of her anytime soon.'

Blushing deeply I didn't know where to look once Damon had finished kissing me and I stood awkwardly with my head down until I heard Katherine break the silence.

'Damn that was pretty impressive. You have found yourselves another witch – good on you boys! I think I like her.' I was pretty lost when she said that. I had just threatened to kill her and she was declaring that she liked me. Well I couldn't give a rat's ass whether she liked me or not, I still hated her.

'Please let me help Damon, I might come in useful against the enemy.' I half teased.

I watched Damon look towards his brother for help, clearly not knowing what the right decision was. On one hand he knew I might come in handy, they did have Bonnie but I was older and more experienced with my powers, plus the two of us together would give them an almighty advantage. On the other hand though he knew I would be putting myself in danger and I knew he didn't want me to get hurt. I looked up at Stefan with a silent plea in my eyes, hoping he would agree to let me help. I saw a slight nod of his head and felt like giving him a huge hug, instead I stood rooted to the spot waiting for Damon to speak.

'Fine, you can help but I don't like it one bit.'

I threw my arms around him, no longer caring who was in the room and began kissing him passionately with occasional the occasional 'thank you' in-between kisses. Eventually Stefan cleared his throat, reminding us that he was still there and I became very embarrassed again. Thankfully he went straight into business without acknowledging out little show any further.

'Why don't you want Isobel to know you are here?' He asked Katherine.

'It's better if she and John not know that I stayed in town after I got out of the tomb.' She replied with an arrogance that made me want to hit her in the face.

Damon must have felt me tense by his side as he put one of his muscular arms around my shoulders and pulled me close to him.

'You're the one in cahoots with them, you made a deal with John that almost got me killed.' He said to her with clear distaste. That little bitch nearly got my man killed! I tensed even more and he began rubbing circles on my shoulder to calm me down.

'I did what I had to, to get out of the tomb. Now I'm re-considering my alliance. She said as she moved her hand up to her cheek and turned away.

'What do you know?' Stefan asked her clearly not convinced by her so called 'loyalty' that now belonged to them.

She turned back around again. 'I know that I want Klaus dead, which puts me squarely on team you.' As she said this she pointed to us. 'Besides, if you two ever need me to swap places with Elena again, the less people know that I'm here the better. Think about it Stefan, come on be smart.' She said turning her attention to the younger Salvatore brother.

Stefan clearly wasn't impressed with her little speech and went to get his coat whilst saying to Damon 'Tell you what, why don't you call Alaric and let him know that his wife has just showed up on his girlfriends doorstep.' And with a click of his tongue he walked out of the front door. Once he had left, Katherine walked off leaving me and Damon stood by the front door.

'Suppose I better ring up Alaric then.' Damon sighed and walked into the living room. I followed after him taking in the magnificence of his home.

'I hope Jenna is okay, she must be feeling so betrayed right now. Maybe I should go and see her.' I queried more to myself than Damon. Even so he gave me a look that said 'are you mad?' and began to call Alaric.
