Hi guys. My results came in. Surprisingly I managed to secure the 9th position. I had 20% hope that I'll be 10th but I guess I boosted my score in the exams. I also got the highest score of the class in English Language, Creative Writing and Literature. I wonder how.

I'm currently having a writer's block so it may take some time.

Here We Go

Sunlight crept through the window, the birds started chirping and sweet melody of summer morning woke Elena up. Her ears were soon filled with soft murmurs and sweet sound of gurgles. Immediately a smile appeared at the sound of her baby. She slowly opened her eyes adjusting to the light. She saw Stefan playing with his niece on the opposite couch.

"Stefan?"

Stefan diverted eyes towards her and gave a soft smile. "Oh hey. Did I wake you?"

"No." she shook her head and smiled. "When did you come?"

"Yesterday. As soon as Ric told me, I decided to fly over here to see this baby girl and…" He looked down at Sarah who was clutching his shirt. "Damon and you."

At the mention of his name she suddenly seemed to tense. She shouldn't be. It's nothing she didn't know before. She kept repeating this fact like a mantra.

Stefan sensed her getting tense. He had to fight with himself to stop from defending his brother. Damon made it clear that he'll be the one to tell her the truth. But first he needed to get Katherine out of their life.

"Where's Damon?" She asked trying to sit up.

"He went to New York to handle some business. He'll back by the time you get discharged." Yeah she forgot that she was going back to the house.

"When did she wake up?" she asked looking at her baby girl.

"I guess at 7. Damon was already playing with her by the time I got back at 8." He said. So Damon didn't leave without meeting his daughter. Somehow the thought of him playing with her daughter made her heart do somersaults. "You know Damon loves her a lot right?" he asked.

"I do." She said in a whisper and nodded her head.

"And he'll do anything to keep you and her in his life." Elena's head snapped towards him. Stefan cursed to himself. He slipped. He met Elena's questioning look. "Just ignore me." But Elena looked at him more questioning. This isn't happening. Damon will kick my ass. So he just changed the topic abruptly. "Caroline is coming with him."

"What?" He mentally patted himself as it successfully diverted her attention. "How is she?" Elena asked. She imagined about her best friends reaction to her leaving. They were probably the maddest at her.

"You'll see how she is." He smirked.

"So are you guys dating?" Elena asked. The last time she saw Caroline; she was about to go to Europe with Stefan to meet his previous love Rebekah.

"Yes. Her and I are stronger than ever." Elena smiled at the sight at his blushing and the sparkle in his eyes.

"So how was your trip to Europe?" She asked. He sighed.

"It was rocky to say the least. Caroline was feeling insecure all the time thinking that my old feelings were starting to resurface. It was a bit awkward at first." He laughed humorlessly. "But it helped me get all my memories back."

"Stefan that's great." She gave a broad smiled.

"Yeah I know. Thanks to Caroline's eternal optimism." He said looking in another direction thinking about their time together.

Elena's heart warmed up at the thought that her friend finally found somebody to love and that somebody loved her back. She didn't know about the boys in her previous relationships. But this man seems to worship the ground she walks in and makes her feel special from time to time.

Damon strolled down the hallway to his office where his private investigator was waiting with some dirt about Katherine. For someone who was dealing with drugs for years, she sure as hell wasn't being too careful. He was surprised when Trevor called him this morning. He thought at least they would wait a day or two. But who was complaining? When he reached his office he saw Trevor going through a file in his hands.

"I see you already got what I needed." Damon said nonchalantly. But inside he was jumping with joy.

"Yeah I do. And this will bring her to great losses. But you might not like what's in it." Trevor said looking dead serious.

"What do you mean?" Damon asked warily.

Trevor sighed before handling him the file. "Read it."

Damon looked at him one last time. When he opened the first page the title drew out his entire blood.

Mystic Falls Police Station;

May 18, 2010. Right at around the time he caught her for prostitution.

Katherine Pierce charged for feticide.

According to her medical results after the miscarriage, her blood had a high concentration of narcotics. The doctors are sure that this is the reason for the miscarriage.

It was ordered by the jury to check the father too for the influence on her. But she readily confessed that her boyfriend had no idea that she was pregnant and the miscarriage.

Damon couldn't read it anymore. He was feeling nauseating and dizzy. He grabbed hold of his chair by the desk and slumped down on it.

"Damon you don't know if it was your child or not. You said it yourself that she was fucking so many other dudes." Trevor said.

"I know that Trevor! But she still killed a baby. That could've been mine. Even after running away she did not change. She still consumes drugs and embraces it like nothing fucking happened! And how the hell did she get away with no one ever knowing?" He yelled.

"The Pierce were a family with strong legal background in Mystic Falls. The small town court allowed them to go away without any beef after they paid few thousand dollars and being banished from the State." Then Trevor turned the page in the file to show the other report.

"This is fucking disgusting! And they just let her go?" Damon shook his head in disbelief.

"You can bring her down Damon. She'll be away from your family once and for all. This is all the information. I think I've found enough to help you." Trevor said, looking down. Damon never became so open in front of him. It actually got him nervous. He'll probably tell Alaric on the way out to check out on him. Damon nodded his head without taking his eyes off the file. And Trevor took that as a sign of taking his leave.

Flashback

Damon looked around the wood, Katherine asked him to come. A part of him was thinking she called him here to kill him, instead of opening up to him like he asked her for weeks.

He loved her. He trusted her. Throughout their entire relationship, he was nothing but honest and open to her. But it needs to work both ways.

For some reason Katherine kept secrets. He knew it, but still was too obsessed with her to even tell her that. Whenever he tried to approach the subject, she'll say he's not ready. But yesterday she told him he was indeed ready when he beat up a guy for calling her out on her own fault. So here he is, waiting for Katherine to show up with her fedora chest.

"Katherine!" He called out in the woods there was a slight sound of movement. "Katherine?" he tried again.

"Damon, you finally decided to show up," She said teasingly.

"Why won't I when my girlfriend finally decides to tell me what she's been doing?" he said slyly.

"Well you'll be doing the same as me once I tell you, won't you? Even if it is a very bad thing to do?" She asked. She smiled and reached for her pocket to pull out two packets of white powder.

"Katherine what are those?" he asked nervously.

"Oh this is what we're going to use. And you'll show me how much I mean to you." She said looking intensely into his eyes.

He smirked and then reached for one of the packet. This was the starting of his addiction. Starting of the last step towards the downfall of a loving son and brother. Starting of the most epic fucking mistake of his life. All because of Katherine Pierce.

End of flashback

Damon rushed down the hallway towards the place where he found himself in that afternoon. How did he not know that he actually slept with Katherine? It would've hurt lesser if he knew it before because it felt like he was stabbed when Elena said it. The drugs had a very bad affect on him. He almost forgot entirely about the escapade of Katherine until he was reminded again. Now the bitch is going to pay for everything in 3…2…1.

He clicked the doorbell vigorously not caring at all if somebody was having a beauty sleep. He made sure he had the audio recorder of his phone on, because he needed some answers for himself and Elena.

"What the F-" Katherine opened the door and stopped dead on her track when she saw Damon. She was immediately taken aback by the anger radiating off of him. But she still holds her composure of a seductress. "Look who came back to his old love? Finally over that girl are you?" She placed her hand on his chest. But Damon caught her wrist and squeezed it tight. Katherine started squirming. "Damon this not how you treat a woman."

"You're a shame to the women of the world. Not worthy of calling one." Damon spit and shoved the file on her hand. Katherine's face turned as white as the walls around her apartment. With shaky hands she opened the file and saw the contents she was afraid of finding. "Now tell me Katherine, what type of a woman kills her own child?"

"Damon." Tears started streaming down her cheeks. "I'm sorry." She said.

"You're sorry?! You killed my child Katherine."

"You're not sure if it was yours." She said.

"But it was still a child that you killed because you couldn't resist the drugs even then. And if you were really sorry Katherine you would've stopped using it and stopped acting like nothing happened and never drugged me into sleeping with you and typed a fake letter from Elena! You're still a psychotic selfish slut junkie." Damon shouted.

"You don't have a fucking clue Damon. I spent 3 years in the rehab after I left Mystic Falls. After everything happened. After I lost the baby over this addiction. England was supposed to be a fresh start for us after I came back from the rehab. And I did live my life in peace until my father died. My mother died right a month after. The only way I got comfort was all these drugs." She opened up and broke down in the floor. Damon started to feel bad for her, but she still used him, and almost drove him away from his family. He will never forgive her for that.

"But you still drugged me. And tried to take my family away from me."

"I know." she muttered.

"Why Katherine? You knew she was carrying my baby. You knew she needed me to be with her. Even after knowing that you drugged me and slept with me and even wrote a fake letter." His voice was rising again.

"I was jealous okay. When I came back to New York I knew you would be here. But I didn't know you settled down. So when I saw it I thought that Elena is living what could've been mine." She said. This made Damon scoff. Katherine glared at him before continuing. "So out of jealousy and my possessiveness I drugged you to see if you had even an ounce of feelings for me. But all you said was how you wanted to create a family with Elena. I got so frustrated and in that exact moment she walked by the door and it seemed like the perfect opportunity. The plan worked exactly according to what I planned… And for the record we didn't sleep together." She said the last part nonchalantly.

"We didn't?" Damon looked at her skeptically.

"No Damon, you passed out the moment your head was on the mattress. I guess I overestimated your dosage." She said. Damon was so relieved at this, but he didn't show it to her. "So meanwhile you were sleeping I went to your home and I sent a letter up by the security to your room." She finished. "But later I realized how stupid I was for thinking that you'll ever come to me even after Elena left. So I didn't approach you at all."

"Happy to see that you thought that one right." He said sarcastically. He silently took the file back and started talking. "I'm back with my family." Katherine's eyes shot up to look at him. "So now I have a proposition for you. You will leave America and stay away from my family. And this file will be safe with me and some other people only. Or you can stay here and this information in the file will be out to the world." He said containing a calm posture. He finally showed her, her place. Even if she chose to go away the nagging feeling of being exposed will always be there. And Katherine will live the rest of her life with that feeling.

"Fine I'll go away. Just please don't tell anyone." She said with tears.

Without saying anything Damon was out of the door. He stopped the recorder and lets out a huge breath of relief. Now he'll go back to his home, pack his bag, take Caroline and fly back to where his family is now.

Sorry it took so long. As I said I was having writers block and very busy with all the work. But here it is. Sorry not much Delena. But the next chapter is solely about them. Please review, favourite and follow the story.

The song is 'Demon' by Imagine Dragons. I bet everyone heard the song, but it's kind of a ritual for this story.
