Next day.

Elena lazily woke up when she heard her phone ringing, it was certainly 5 am. She did not know why but she was really exhausted. All her body was aching in pain.

She turned to the side and opened her eyes and cut her alarm clock. She was in her bed. Again, she was alone, and she will go to her work…

What was that strange feelings inside her? As if she was missing somewhat important? The doctor frowned and got up from her bed … she tried her best to remember but without any result. Why her mind was so foggy? She did not drink last night, why would she when she was alone at home? Sometimes she drunk a glass of wine or a beer … no, she did not usually drink beer … she did not really like it … it was bitter, it was weird…

Elena went to her bathroom, perhaps she had a strange dream and she still captured inside? She watched her appearance on the mirror, she was shocked to see eye-bags, and a cut deep on her lower lips. The blood was dry, and it itched a bit. How did she do that? She did not remember … what's wrong with her and her memories? Did she do that when she was asleep? Gilbert could help but touched the injure with her thump again and again … she slightly opened her mouth … and she winced … not because of her aching lip but another part of her body was in pain. Her shoulder, there was a black bruise … it was big … like she hit something … her wrists were bruises but not like her shoulder, it was lighter.

Terrified, she looked all over her body for others suspicious marks. Nothing except a visible a bite mark … she blushed at the localization … above her left breast … she could not do all these alone … with whom was she? She did not have a lot of friends… Elena stared at her own image and she seemed lost.

"What was I doing? I will be late." She said to herself, she shook her heard. She went to the shower as if nothing important happened.


One hour later.

Elena was at the hospital, she noticed one of her coworkers, Emma Kepfield, she seemed very tired.

"Hello, Emma. What's wrong? Did something happen that night?" The named drunk a cup of coffee and sighed.

"Yes, early this morning, when find a woman who was attacked by an animal, she had an ugly bite on her neck … it's strange, there is almost no blood on her body. She did not survive, we were too late." Elena frowned, it was strange. That case was familiar.

"There was another person who was attacked by an animal yesterday?" Gilbert perfectly remembered, it was a young man, in his twenties, he also died. He had two holes on his neck, it was as if an animal or an insect sucked his blood.

"Yes, and the police discover another corpse few days ago, he also had the same injury. I don't know what kind of animal that can do, but there is already a growing fear among the inhabitants of Mystic Fall. People are afraid to going out outside or to be near the forest." The brunette agreed, she could not deny she was a bit afraid. It was the … fourth victims? Perhaps there will be more?

"And who is that woman?"

"A beautiful red-haired woman, it was their waitress, we found her body next her working place, at Bree bar… I think?" Elena was shocked, and her coworker noticed it.

"Do you know her?"

"I … no … I don't know… I'm not sure … it's a long time ago I did not go to a bar … but the name … no, I'm certainly imagining things. I don't know her." Elena could not remove that feelings something was suspicious. She went to her patients with apprehension.


Meanwhile.

Katherine looked at the ceiling of her room, she had not closed the eye of the night. She thought about her night with Elena … she sighed, normally, she would have fun with her prey, but she could not. That stupid brat said these three words that change everything, more than Katherine Pierce hoped, she remembered why she ran away from Elena and these human feelings that grown up for her. She hated that.


Flash-back.

Katherine let Elena kiss her, but she preferred to be in the control. She brutally pushed the doctor against the car door and caught both of her wrists, she brought them up, blocking her from movement. She smirked when she stepped back, breaking their kiss.

"Elena, you are such a bad girl. You dare to steal my lips? I love that, but if you want sex, I don't want to be a way of revenge because your ex cheated on you. I hate to be used, or else, you need to play my little game. I have all the rules in my hands, if you disobey, I will let you with yourself. I'm taking all the control, you can't touch me."

"Katherine … you are so mean… I don't care about Stefan… I want you since I met you… I don't know why … but I need you. I constantly think and dream about you."

"I already know I'm mean. And you will discover that soon. You dream about me? What did I do? It was an erotic dream?" Elena whimpered when a cold hand entered inside her blouse. Fingers slowly climbed her chest, she felt her nipple harden at this touch, the lace of her bra easily revealed her excitement.

"Elena? Should I stop? What did I do in your dream?"

"N-no … please don't stop … I'm begging you … and you … you kissed me … you fucked me…" The doctor trembled when Katherine grabbed her chest and pressed it between her hand.

"I never imagine you will say the word 'fuck' without blushing or being ill-at-ease. It's very exciting … are you already wet Elena?"

"Ye… Yeah … so wet…" The model smiled."

"Finally, you are a good girl." Katherine lowered herself and bit Elena's chest, who moaned in pain and next, with pleasure, Katherine sucked the blood. She was craving for more … she closed her eyes … she needed to calm herself, she released Elena's wrists, her nails ripped the car body paint, if she continued, she will instantly kill her prey, but this blood was so exquisite, and she furiously captured Elena'a lips. With her fangs, she cut the fragile skin. Pierce growled, her animal instinct wanted to take its role, but she won't allow that. The vampire showed her true nature, she licked and sucked the red river. Elena realized something was wrong with her partner. She noticed the unusual appearance of her eyes, black veins appeared. She stiffened, it was not normal. The vampire removed herself, she sensually licked her tainted teeth and used one of finger to remove the rest of the blood that she tasted it with the tips of her tongue. Elena was thunderstruck, she was not imagining things … the eyes … the sharp teeth…

"What … what are you…?"

"I'm a vampire." Katherine simply answered, she imagined that her neighbor will scream or trying to run away, nevertheless, the doctor was fascinated and not afraid. She even dared to touch her black veins.

"Are not you afraid of me?"

"Honestly … yes… I can't move… I don't know what you will do with me … vampires like blood right. But you are so mysterious and beautiful… I understand better the sentence deadly beautiful…" The creature of the night heartily laughed, she was very surprised by that reaction.

"I could do a lot of stuff with you Elena, I'm sure you like all of them. And I really like your blood and your body, thank you." The named blushed.

"I know it's too soon, but I think I'm falling in love with you Katherine, I have strong feelings for you… I don't care if you are a vampire or something else." The blood drinker was destabilized by the confession, her main goal was to play with this woman, to have her blood and sex, both at once and then get rid of her if she became bored. She sought no attachment, she was no longer human, feeling feelings, love, it was before but not today. Katherine touched Elena's face, she intensively stared her brown eyes. She could do anything with her, having sex, drinking her blood, killing her…

"Elena, you will forget everything about what happened tonight. Except that your boyfriend is a bastard and you need to break up with him. You never met me, you don't know who I am, you need to stay away from me… I don't want to hurt you… I will be leaving soon so you will forget everything about me."
