I watched Elena sit on the ground staring down. I just wanted to comfort her but I couldn't anymore. She wasn't mine any more. She had chosen Damon over me and that was something I had to get used to. Maybe I just needed to get out of here, get away from my broken heart.

I needed to try and get her out of my mind. I stole a glance over at her again knowing I would regret it. Her head was in her hands and she looked like she was going to get sick.

Damon noticed and glanced in my direction. I quickly looked away.

I felt like I was going to be sick. I had no idea when Katherine would show up but in the mean time I felt like I was dying.

Suddenly I saw Damon and Stefan stand up straight, out of the corner of my eye.

I lifted my head from my hands.

"Katherine." Stefan said.

I turned to look.

Standing in the middle of Damon and Stefan was Katherine. I almost fainted. It was like looking into a mirror. She was dressed in a blue gown and had a necklace similar to the vervain one.

She smiled when she saw them. It made my stomach lurch.

"Hello boys." She said.

Her voice was just like mine. It held the same ring to it as mine but darker.

I stood up slowly.

"Aw so this is my blood." She said, as she started to step towards me.

Damon was there in a flash.

Katherine looked stunned by Damon being so protective.

"Oh apparently I had thought the wrong brother was with you." She said to me.

Damon was getting angry.

"Katherine leave her alone." Damon hissed.

"Poor Elena, you got caught in the middle too." She said.

"Katherine what do you want?" Stefan snarled.

"I want to see her." She said pointing to me. "Without any bodyguards."

I gasped.

Damon looked cautious.

"It's okay." I finally spoke.

Damon stepped off to the side.

Katherine stepped forward and smiled.

"Well well, I finally get to meet the Elena I have heard so much about." She said.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked.

She looked innocent.

"Doing what?"

"Trying to control me." I spat. "You have taken over my mind, dreams and even body for the past week."

She grinned.

"It was my way of getting the message across that I wanted to see them." She said.

I rolled my eyes.

"You know I left both of them, without one hint of communication." She said.

"I'm well aware." I replied.

"I broke their hearts. Do you really want to do the same?" she asked.

"Don't." Damon warned.

"What is it too much to bring up the fact that history repeated itself?" Katherine said. "She started with the loyal, kind brother, but ended up with the dark, mysterious, one."

"De ja vu?" She teased.

Damon snarled and Stefan leaned forward.

"What do say Elena would you like to leave it all behind and join me?" she asked.

I gave her a disgusted look.

"Never." I spat.

Her lip curled up and Damon stepped in front of me.

"Oh I don't think you want to do that." She warned. "You have no ring." She noticed.

Damon stepped in front of me more.

"I warned you." Katherine said.

In a split second Damon was on the ground. Katherine had thrown him into an oak tree and he crashed to the ground.

"Damon." I shouted, in pain for him.

Then Stefan stepped towards her.

"You don't even feed on blood." She hissed as she punched him in the gut.

I couldn't believe what was happening I was standing in the middle of a war zone. Katherine was clearly the strongest. Both Damon and Stefan kept going back at her but with every movement Katherine was throwing them into trees. The trees cracked and landed all around me.

Suddenly it all stopped and Damon and Stefan were on the ground in pain.

I felt tears spill down my face.

Katherine stepped towards me.

"Elena, you don't need them." She said. "You can get out of the triangle."

I wiped the tears off my face but it did no use since the tears kept coming.

"You left them without a word." I said. "Damon looked for you for years and you didn't even have the decency."

"Is that what he told you?" she said. "I was protecting myself." She hissed.

Her eyes started to redden and dark circles formed around her eyes.

"You know Elena, I thought you would be different, but maybe you should see what could happen."

She ran over to Damon. And pushed him onto his back.

"It didn't have to be like this." She told him.

Damon was struggling to talk and I felt like I was dying watching him go through pain.

"You bitch." He moaned in pain.

She grabbed a branch from the tree and drove it into his lower stomach he cried out in pain.

"No." I shouted in protest then Katherine was there, next to me in a second.

She grabbed my arms and held me down.

I didn't care about anything but Damon at this moment.

Stefan stepped forward.

"Katherine you don't have to do this." He said, reasoning with her.

"Yes I do." She said. "I don't want my own "blood" having to go through what I went through." She said,

"What you went through?" Stefan was shocked. "Do you not know what we went through? You were taken away and we thought you were dead. You left us when we were in transition. I was able to move on faster." He said looking at me.

My heart lurched.

"But Damon, Damon looked for you for years. And you didn't care."

Katherine looked at Stefan with this rage and hate.

Damon moaned from on the ground.

"Bitch." He mumbled.

I could feel the tears come faster.

Katherine tilted her head and her eyes turned black.

Stefan cried out in pain. I had no idea what was going on. Katherine was staring him down and he fell to his knees.

"Stop." I yelled at her. It didn't stop her, she kept doing it and Stefan cried out in pain more.

Then she looked away as he fell to the ground.

"Now." She said turning to me with a smile. "It's time that us family members stick together."

I gave her a disgusted look and she squeezed my wrists harder.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked her.

"Because Elena, you don't deserve them and they were mine. Now that you had chosen to screw things up it's easier to change you and then we go on together. I mean after all we are family." She smiled.

"I will never consider you family." I spat.

She stopped smiling and her eyes went black again.

"Well I guess I can just kill you then."

She leaned forward fast and I squeezed my eyes tight, waiting to die. My last thought was I love them both, maybe in different ways but I still loved them both.

Then I heard a crunch.

My head felt dizzy. I opened my eyes slowly and inspected my body. I was fine. I looked to the ground.

Damon was on top of Katherine, and she was lying flat on the ground.

"You will regret this." She whispered as her eyes closed.

I felt tears spill down my face. I couldn't move. Was I in shock?

My legs felt weak and I crashed to the ground. I held my head in my hands. I looked up and Damon was standing in front of me clutching his side.

I snapped out of it. Suddenly I was back and I knew I had to help them.

I looked over to where Katherine's body just lay.

She was gone.

"Damon." I cried. "How bad is it? Are you okay?"

He looked up at me and smiled.

"Relax, I'm a vampire." He said.

"Here." I said. I pulled the ring off and shoved it on his hand.

"Elena I'll be fine." He wobbled.

"Sit." I ordered.

I looked over at Stefan who was standing up.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

He nodded his head.

"Damon is worse." He said. "He is wounded."

We walked over to Damon.

"Where did she go?" I asked wiping tears from my redened face.

"She is gone." Stefan said.

"She will be back." Damon said. "But not for a while."

I smiled.

They were both okay. I had survived a three-way vampire fight.

Stefan was fine and Damon was somewhat okay.

I put Damon's arm around my neck and we started to walk to the car.

"I love you." Damon whispered into my ear.

I smiled.
