I woke up after a bad dream. I don't know why I had that dream, because even Jeremy and Caroline dated, they weren't going to get back together. I then felt the side of my bed and realized that someone else was in it and it wasn't Jeremy. I jumped out and looked at Katherine.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I came to see my favorite Salvatore." She replied. "Do you know how easy it is to get inside of your head?"
I was glad that I had at least worn underwear to bed. I think I need to keep doing it until she is gone
"So what is with you not drinking human blood?" Katherine asked as she got off the bed. "Animal blood makes you weak."
I rushed at her but she effortlessly threw me back.
"Not just mentally weak, but physically weak." She added. "I bet you felt so good when you were drinking again."
"Leave me alone, Katherine." I demanded. At that point, I noticed Leah standing in my doorway.
'I think you need to tell your BFF to leave." Katherine stated. "Cause while I won't kill you. I will kill her. Tell her to get out of the house."
"Leah, I'll be fine." I told her. "I don't want you to get hurt."
Leah seemed to listen and left. I had a plan. I just needed to enact it.
"What do you want?" I asked her. I needed to get her out of here so I could take a shower.
"I missed you, Sara. You don't realize how empty my life feels without you." She replied. "I want you to spend some time with me, pretty please."
"Why are you back?" I questioned. I don't know why I kept asking. I guess I figured that if I persisted, she might answer eventually.
"There are three people I wanted to see: you, you, and…you." She replied.
"I don't believe you." I responded. "You had 145 years to see me and you never did."
"Well you love me just as I love you." Katherine declared as she rubbed her finger across my belly. She then gave one of my breasts a squeeze. I had to resist the urge to moan.
"Stop that!" I ordered. I crossed my arms over my chest, which served two purposes. "Get out of my room, Katherine…and get out of my house too."
Katherine did end up leaving me alone long enough to take a shower and get dressed. I thought she might have actually. I went downstairs, wearing a white tank top with a silver pleated knee-length skirt and silver heeled sandals with a black belt, and noticed her on the couch with my diary in hand.
"It's not polite to read someone's diary." I declared as I walked over to her.
"I was just trying to find the point where I stopped being your muse." Katherine stated. "I had to do something while you were thinking of me in the shower."
"You have such a dirty and conceited mind." I replied.
"And you like it." She countered. I grabbed the book and gave her a glass of blood. "I'm surprised that you didn't put vervain in it."
"Do you honestly think I think I would do that?" I asked. I had a different plan to vervain her.
"I'll share it with you." She offered. "I won't even make you get a straw."
"You're not funny." I replied.
"I read about your werewolf sighting." Katherine declared, twirling her hair as I took a seat across from her. So, she knew about werewolves and Mason.
"What do know about werewolves?" I inquired.
"You shouldn't pet one. Their bite can kill." Katherine declared. "Avoid them during the full moon."
She got up at that point.
"How do you know?" I questioned.
"Who do you think got rid of the vampires in 1864?" Katherine asked, turning to face me.
"It was the founding families." I stated.
"Headed by?" Katherine responded. I had a eureka moment.
"The Lockwoods." I answered.
"So do you remember the Founder's Ball from your dream? You took me there and we danced. It was the perfect night." She replied.
"You slept with Damon that night." I pointed out.
"I did it with him only because you wouldn't." She argued.
1864
I was in one of my finest dresses at the party.
"Everyone will please join in raising our glasses to my good friend George Lockwood." Damon toasted. "George, thank you for bravely serving the Confederacy."
"My honor, Mr. Salvatore." George replied. "After all, one of us had to."
We all drank from our drinks as glasses at that point. That was when one of the tomb vampires ended up taking her away. I always wondered why that had happened.
Present
"Henry told me that the some of the animal attacks were actual animals and that was when I suspected George." She said.
"So all of the Lockwoods are werewolves?" I asked. That didn't make sense because Tyler didn't turn into a wolf.
"The werewolf gene is in the Lockwood family. They're not all wolves." Katherine corrected me.
"Is it specific to the Lockwoods?" I questioned.
"No, there are others. They're definitely endangered. Nowadays they most exist in books and really bad movies. I mean did you see Blood and Chocolate?" She told me. I liked that movie. Why does everyone else hate it? She grabbed my diary back. "Now I get to ask a question. Why do you still have this picture? Why not burn it? That's very strange for someone who claims not to love me. Why did you come back? For Jeremy? No you came back because you weren't over me."
I sped over to her and stood in front of her. I held her face like I was about to kiss her.
"Why can't I shake you?" I whispered. She kissed me for a second before I stabbed her with a vervain needle. I watched as she fainted on the couch. I then grabbed her and carried her to the dungeon while she was still unconscious. I put her in the chair and chained her up. As soon as I was done, she seemed to awaken.
"I didn't know you were into bondage." She responded.
"Just tell me why you came back to Mystic Falls." I replied in frustration.
"How many more ways can I say it?" She asked.
"Okay, I'll have to make you talk." I declared as I put some gloves on. I grabbed some vervain and rubbed it against her skin, causing her to scream. "Now talk."
"How long are you going to torture me?" She inquired.
"I'll do whatever it takes to get you to talk." I remarked.
"That night, at the party, I found George. He wanted me as much as you two did." She explained. "I told him about how I knew his secret."
"What did he want?" I inquired. She didn't answer and I grabbed a chair and sat in front of her. "What did he want Katherine?"
I had a feeling that this was going to take a while. Good thing I didn't have any plans for the day.
"You know I'm not going anywhere. There's a tomb that you were supposed to be in waiting for you." I told her.
"I've said enough. I want you to talk to me." She responded. "So do you like to pretend you're human when you're with Jeremy?"
"No, the great thing is I don't have to pretend to be anything." I declared. "I can be myself unlike when I was with you."
"Does he know that you love me?" She challenged.
"I never loved you." I responded, getting in her face. "I don't now and I never have loved you."
"You're lying, Sara." Katherine remarked. "You brought me home and tucked me into bed."
1864
"I had a lovely time, Miss Sara." She declared.
"How long will you be in Mystic Falls?" I questioned.
"I'll be here as long as I want to be." Katherine answered. "Your father was so nice to give me shelter."
"I can't imagine losing your whole family. I lost my mother when I was young, but I barely remember her." I explained.
"So do you want me?" She asked flirtatiously.
"Yes, Miss Katherine." I replied with a blush. "I just hope you don't choose to marry Damon."
"I don't believe in marriage." She replied with a giggle.
"I wish I could meet a man like you." I responded. "If only I were able to change your mind."
"Why must it be a man?" Katherine replied with a smile.
"You're so beautiful, Katherine." I told her. "If not for fear of Father seeing me, I would kiss you."
"He's asleep." Katherine said before she pressed her lips against mine.
"I love you, Katherine." I declared.
"You should be careful when it comes to me, Sara." She replied. Was she trying to talk me out of it?
"I don't care if it's forbidden." I responded. "Good night, Miss Katherine."
"Good night, Sara." She told me.
Present
"I didn't sleep with Damon that night." She replied. "You can torture me all you want, but you can't say that you never loved me. I loved you and I still love you."
I sat there for a few minutes.
"So does the truth actually hurt?" Katherine asked.
"Okay, maybe I did love you." I admitted. "But you had your chance to come back and now you only want me because I love someone else. How can you really say that you loved me? Even if I loved you, you compelled me in all of the wrong ways. When Damon and I first got here, he took advantage of Caroline's affection for him and compelled and fed on her. That's what you did to me. You wanted me to be a vampire without knowing that I drank your blood. I'm only glad that I got a second chance at love."
"I can wait. I've got a lot longer than Jeremy does." She explained. "Back to the story: George Lockwood was using the vampires to cover up for his the attacks by his wolf form. Luckily, he was willing to make a deal. I said that there needed to be 27 vampires including me."
"But there were 28 vampires in town." I noted. "Not, to mention that you sold your friends out."
"I would do it again." Katherine replied.
"You know I don't get your strategy for seduction." I commented. "You are trying to make me love you by telling me that you have always been a selfish bitch."
"I protect myself first above all." She remarked.
"What if it had been me?" I asked. "Why you sell me out to save yourself?"
She didn't answer that.
"What did you give George?" I questioned.
"I gave him something that he wanted." She told me.
"You sent 26 of your friends to their deaths just to fake your own?" I asked. I still don't understand why she let Anna live. Why leave one and kill the rest? She couldn't have cared about her because she left Pearl. "You were running from someone and it wasn't the werewolves."
"My past started to creep up on me and I bolted as soon as it got too close." She said. "Although your father nearly caused my plan to fail before it even began. I was going to turn you then and there, but your dad spiked your blood. Then you two tried to save me."
"We wanted to save you." I reminded her.
"I didn't want to be saved." She refuted.
"We died for you." I replied. "I want you to answer me this, would you do the same? We died for nothing."
"You died for love." She argued without answering the question. "The two of you died for love."
"You still didn't answer the question." I pointed out. I wasn't going to let her get the upper hand again. "Are you going to tell me why you're back at least?"
"I've told you. I love you. I love you. I love you." She answered in frustration. "How many more times do I have to say it? I want what I want. I will do whatever it takes to get what I want. If I have to kill your little human to have you, then I will. I have no problem doing it."
"If you wanted to kill Jeremy, you would have." I argued. "I know how the game works. You want what you can't have."
"How do you know?" She challenged. "I can still kill him. I'll snap rip that ring off and then I'll snap his neck."
I broke the leg off of a chair and held it over her heart. I had her. All I had to do was plunge it into her heart. I could kill her, but for some reason I couldn't do it. I just glared at her and threw the stake to the ground.
"I guess you don't hate me as much as you thought." She commented. Why did I hesitate there? I could have ended her. Why did I stop? If she had compelled me, it would have worn off when I was turned. "I want you to stop seeing Jeremy. If you don't break up with him, I will kill everyone he loves and then I'll kill him while you watch."
I went and grabbed the stake again and held her neck.
"Now you're dead." I replied with full vampire face, once again hovering it over her heart.
Surprisingly, she managed to push me back against the wall. I then watched as she broke the shackles. How could she do that? She should still be weak from the vervain. I didn't understand.
"I have been sipping vervain every day for the past 145 years to build up an immunity to it and I have. It doesn't affect me anymore, Sara. I played along, but I am done playing." She replied. "I wanted to spend some time with you."
"Hello?" I heard Jeremy call from upstairs. "Sara?"
Before I could get up, Katherine jammed the stake in my leg. I cried out in pain as she ran off.
"You must be Jeremy." Katherine said upstairs.
"You look just like my sister." He commented. I guess he was a little shocked.
"You'll never guess what I did with Sara." She declared.
I tore the stake out and ran up. There was blood on my leg, but I didn't care.
"Jeremy." I said, relieved that he was completely unharmed. Katherine ran out the door and I didn't want to chase her. I was just glad that he was okay. I went over and hugged him.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I love you." I answered.
"I love you, too." He reciprocated.
From there, we went to the Grill. Caroline was there and Jeremy seemed to think that she was being forced to spy on us for Katherine. That sounded like something she would do. So I had the idea to fake a fight. If Caroline was spying for Katherine, it would make her less likely to go after Jeremy if she thought that our relationship was on the rocks.
I stormed out of the restaurant, noticing that Damon was also there and later met him in his room.
"I hated that fight." He admitted.
"Well it's what we have to do." I replied. "You were right. Caroline was listening to every second of it. We can't let her come between us."
I kissed him good night before I headed home. I noticed Anna in the living room.
"Are you the only one here?" I asked.
"Leah's asleep." She answered. "Damon is not here."
"You know apparently Katherine set up the roundup of the vampires." I explained. "She called for 27, including herself."
"So, why did she let me live?" Anna asked.
"I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that she was running from someone." I replied. "Also I have a secret to tell you. Katherine is having Caroline spy on me and Jeremy. I don't want Damon to know that we're not really fighting."
So it's a shorter chapter than usual. It was pretty much all Katherine and Sara. She'll have more time with Leah later. Also she's not writing in her diary because she doesn't want Katherine to read it. Please don't forget to review.
