Encounter with the doppelganger (Katherine)

Gosh this man! You can't live without him but you can't live with him, either! Okay, I tried as hard as it was possible for me! I told him everything – I told him about my real feelings and what do I get in return?

There was a moment after I had reminded him of what he told me that night after the Founder's Ball when I had thought that my plan would work. But he just doesn't want to understand it! At least for now I tried hard enough to proof it to him in a nice way … now I will have to bring the big guns in … sorry, Stefan you want it this way.

"I already told you five times and I won't make it six. I want what I want and I don't care what I have to do to get it. I usually get what I want, Stefan. My list of victims is a long one and I don't have any problems adding a name or two to it. What about … Jenna .? Or Bonnie? Or …. Elena?"

"C'mon Katherine, if you wanted them dead, you would have done it by now."

"Oh I still can. I can do what – I – want, my dear. . making a nightly visit at the Gilbert's tonight … I will start with Jenna, then Jeremy and then I will finally reach the bedroom of your little girlfriend …."

Suddenly I looked in Stefan's eyes … Stefan's hateful eyes – to be precisely. He held a stake above his head in his hand, ready to stab it into my heart every moment. For a long moment we just looked at each other, then he lowered his arm and smashed the wall behind me with his hand. I wasn't very impressed. I could have escaped from the chains every moment but it was just … fascinating to see Stefan angry. He always looks so … dashing. More than he already does.

"See, in the end I was right. You don't hate me as much as you think and … you are not able to kill me! And now, having solved this question, we can get back to our nice little conversation about my nice little doppelganger. I don't want you to see her anymore. Remove her from your life otherwise I will kill everyone she loves, including your sweet big brother, while she watches and then I will kill her while you watch and then … tada … no problems anymore and we have all eternity for us! No annoying Damon for me anymore and no bad substitute for you. Sounds perfect doesn't it?"

And again I had a nice stake in front of my face … only that it approached my heart quite closely this time.

"Don't you ever think for one moment that I will not kill you" Stefan hissed angrily.

Okay, time to blow my cover otherwise I will be really dead in a moment and his hand around my throat slowly really gets annoying. With all my strength I threw Stefan against the wall, then I freed myself from the chains with one simple move and rushed over to him.

"Do you really think that after 145 years of sipping vervain every single day it would still hurt me?"

"But why ….?"

"Gosh, you really wanna hear it a sixth time? I still missed you, Stefan. It will always be this one single easy sentence … you can ask as often as you want. And I thought why not spending time with you? I must admit you could have been a better host, this chair was really uncomfortable and I m really sick of your hands now, but apart from that …"

Suddenly I heard the door getting opened upstairs. I stopped talking.

"Hello? Stefan?" A very familiar voice was shouting.

"Ahhh and there she is, your little substitute. What do you think? Shall I saw hi to her? Would be polite wouldn't it?"

"If you touch her …."

"Then what? And how should you keep me from touching her with a stake in your leg?"

"What sta…"

He didn't have time to finish the sentence cause I stabbed the stake with which he wanted to kill me only minutes before with all my strength into his leg. He screamed from pain.

"This stake" I said with my nicest smile then I turned around and went upstairs.

Let's see what Elena thinks of her hotter doppelganger … and the fact that she spend all day with her beloved boyfriend.

"Hello, you must be Elena."

She turned around, a frightened expression in her face when she recognized who was standing in front of her.

"How … how is that possible? How do we look exactly alike?"

"Hunnie, you are asking the wrong questions. What about . "What did you do with my boyfriend all day imprisoned in a dark, cold cellar?"

And immediately I had managed to make her speechless. I am brilliant!

"Or why did he kiss me? Or why is he sitting in the cellar now with a nice stake in his leg with which he wanted to kill me by the way."

"I kissed you to be able to imprison you and do you really think I can't free myself from such a little stake?" A voice said behind me. I turned around.

"Stefan! How nice to see you back! I was just telling your little substitute, sorry, Elena here that we really had an interesting, revealing day."

"Oh yes it was very revealing … to sum it up: Damon and I plus 26 vampires aka your friends and family died only to save your ass and you are still a manipulative nasty little bitch."

"Oh Stef, I really thought you have a better opinion about me now. Sad to hear. Hmm … but then why not kill your little girlfriend here … immediately."

I rushed over to a very surprised Elena swung my arm around her throat and exposed my fangs.

"Sooo, what do you want? Dead girlfriend? Vampire girlfriend? Half vampire half human so that you can force her to drink human blood and turn like you did with your brother?"

"Let – her – go! Immediately!" I screamed.

"Stefan, Stefan, your manners! No please?" Stefan remained silent. What happened to this nice gentleman who did everything for a woman like me?

"Immediately!"

"Ugh you are so boring! But okay … take my threat serious, Stefan. Only one more kiss and ….well you know what will happen. Keep these words in mind … just like you did with those words you told me a long time ago."

With that I pushed Elena forward and hushed through the door, leaving a surprised substitute in the arms of a very angry – and very dashing – Stefan behind.

I was walking along the street. Minutes ago I had met Damon. I must admit he really looks a lot more dashing than in 1864 and he definitely became a lot meaner over the centuries. But gosh what's wrong with the men today? All of them desperately want to give their life for the trashy substitute aka Elena. I don't get it. What is so interesting about her? I really have to get her out of my way. She gets on my nerves!

Ugh and my plan to convince Stefan of his undying love for me somehow failed today, too. He has always been so … stubborn. Now sadly this time I can't just compel him to do what I want. How inconvenient.

Maybe I should have told him about the night I fled … about the promise I gave him even if he doesn't remember it cause he was lying dead on the ground, already transitioning into what became a private hell for him now. Hmmm no … let's keep that for later. I need to keep an ace up my sleeve. And for now; I will just torture the little substitute a tiny little bit …

I looked up at the dark sky. Clouds were raging and covering the moon from now and then, a mean smile emerging on my face.
