Leave it to Elena to screw things up. Well, actually I suppose I'll have to blame her being here on Alaric. How hard is it to baby sit a teenage girl? I don't hate her I simply resent what Elena has been doing to Stefan. Ripping his heart out every second she isn't with him. Taking her aside I look Elena straight in her dark eyes…the same eyes my sister has.
"If you screw this up and see innocent little Bonnie and your brother, I will snap their necks with out even batting an eye. And don't think Jeremy's stupid little ring will keep him safe. Rings come off Elena. So I suggest you keep your mouth shut and just sit there," I threaten, motioning to the bench.
Elena looks over at Bonnie and Jeremy who are oblivious to what I've just said to her, nodding she sits down. Only seconds after sitting Elena gasps in pain, blood spreading out across her pink cotton shirt, yet no one has even touched her.
"What happened?" I question, the protective instincts kicking in. I might not like Elena at the current moment but Stefan will die if she gets hurt.
Elena winces, leaning over, "It hurts."
"Shh, shh," I whisper, slicing open my palm with my nail, not thinking twice. "Here, you won't die if you drink this."
I press my hand up to Elena's mouth, better her become a vampire than be dead, right?
A hand appears on my shoulder, "Won't it hurt you?" asks Jeremy.
Turning my head so I can look at him without cutting off the supply of blood to Elena I shake my head back and forth, "I'll be fine."
Jeremy gives me a 'are you sure' look as Bonnie rejoins us.
"What happened?" she asks.
I understand seeing her friend be stabbed by some invisible force is hard but if Bonnie has to walk away to deal with things like this perhaps she isn't really cut out for her part in the story.
"I don't know," I reply trying to stay sympathetic.
Suddenly, Elena pulls away crying out in pain, there is a spot of blood growing on her arm. What the hell is happening? Not knowing what else to do I reopen my hand, shoving it at Elena.
"What is going on?" question Jeremy, giving his sister a concerned look.
Bonnie just stands there, staring off into space. Way to be a witch Bonnie and figure out what the hell is going on down here. No, instead we stand there like we are too stupid to do anything else.
"Jeremy, its Katherine!" she exclaims turning back to us.
Realization washes over me, the girl I saw was Lucy, "Oh my God! Jeremy, Elena is linked to Katherine."
"Get them to stop," Bonnie orders looking between Jeremy and me.
"Now!" I holler pushing Jeremy away.
If they kill her there is no way I'll be able to save Elena, no matter how much blood I pump into her. It'll be the end. Of everything.
Bonnie moves next to Elena, "Elizabeth, go with him."
"But Elena," I object.
"I'll help her," Bonnie replies her chocolate eyes locked with mine. "Now go, both of you."
Jeremy grabs my hand, pulling me along behind him. If we don't make it in time everything we've worked so hard to set up was for nothing. If Damon and Stefan kill Katherine before we can tell them about the link they both die. I refuse to let that happen.
"I can't go in that room," I state as we rush up the stairs. "If I go in I won't be able to come back out. You have to get them to stop Jeremy."
"I understand. I'll tell. I'll do whatever I have to," Jeremy says before letting go of my hand.
"She'll hurt you if she can. Be careful," I say as Jeremy enters the room.
Sitting down on the steps, all I can do is listen and hope that Jeremy can get through to Stefan who will them stop Damon. Stefan loves Elena too much to let her get hurt.
"Stop!" Jeremy exclaims. "Don't hurt her. Everything you're doing to her is hurting Elena."
Yes, go Jeremy! Get the point across straight away, skip the extra crap. Kids got heart; he's got the drive to protect. He'll make a good something one day when he finally decides which direction his life is going in.
Katherine laughs, her stupid malicious laughter, "You two think you're the only ones with at witch on your side? Wrong. Something tells me that my witch is better than your witch."
God all I want to do is slap that grin I know she is wearing off of her pretty little face. Lucy has lived longer than Bonnie, doesn't mean she's better.
"Jeremy, go make sure Elena is okay," instructs Stefan.
Jeremy passes me on the stairs, giving me a thumbs up once on the landing. Ugh, he gets to do things and I have to wait until Stefan or Damon puts two and two together and I will get to make my appearance. This could take a while.
"Let's all make sure poor Elena is okay, just a little more pressure," Katherine mocks.
What she has done is unknown to me but knowing my sister it probably was meant to inflict pain upon Elena thus making Stefan mad. She wants them to kill her…to kill Elena. But why?
"This is really gonna hurt," Katherine laughs.
I heard wood hit wood and Katherine curse under her breath. What in the world is going on in that room?
"Wait." that is Damon.
My hot, protective, sweet, sensitive Damon one couldn't dream up a better man. My heart melts every time I taste him name on my tongue. Yes, he has his flaws but I'm just too much of an idiot to stop loving him because of them.
"Okay," Katherine again, "how about that moonstone."
Damon moves over to the barrier, pressing his hand up against it. A tiger in a cage. Taking the jeweled barrette out of my hair, allowing it to fall wildly around me, I throw the clip into the room. It lands at Damon's feet. Reaching down to pick it up he sees me. I motion for him to be quiet with a wink. Damon blows me a kiss before standing up.
"The three of us together, just like old times," Katherine says obviously feeling the need to talk. "There's the brother that loved me too much and the brother who didn't love me enough."
"And the evil slut vampire who only loves herself," Damon says.
I suppress laugher at his only so true comment.
"What happened to you, Damon?" asks my sister. "You used to be so sweet and polite."
"Oh, that Damon died a long time ago," responds Damon, tossing my clip back at me.
"Good," announces Katherine, "he was a bore."
Would you two stop antagonizing each other?" Stefan asks. I can almost picture his eye roll.
"Where is the moonstone?" my bitch of a sister questions after a momentary silence.
"What do you want with it?" answers Stefan.
"Does Elena enjoy having you both worship at her alter?" Katherine asks, turning the tables on both brothers.
Stefan doesn't let her comment get to him, "That was really desperate, Katherine. Don't you think that we can see right through you?"
"So it doesn't bother you that Damon is in love with your girlfriend?"
"Stop it."
"Or what, you'll hurt me? Come on, Stefan, everything I feel Elena feels so go ahead. Or…better yet, kiss me, Damon. She'll feel that too."
Damon looks over at me before answering Katherine, "The only person I care to kiss is Elizabeth."
"You know this whole mason thing has me a bit confused. Why a werewolf? The moonstone can break a curse that would help them destroy all vampires so…what's in it for you?" Stefan questions, trying to keep Katherine from responding to Damon's comment.
"Sorry about your pet wolf. You really should have kept him on a tighter leash," Damon says.
Katherine moves over to stand next to him, "I'll have to remember that for next time. He's not the only wolf in town."
Tyler. How could we be so silly to not have someone looking over him? Katherine never loved Mason Lockwood, she was using him and we fell for it. That makes us pretty stupid but still I should have thought of that. She is my sister after all.
