I sat on my bed once I got upstairs. I couldn't stop thinking about the hurt look on Katherine's face. I know I imagined it…didn't I? I decided to sort out my thoughts in my journal.

Dear Diary,

Stefan and Damon left to follow a lead on Klaus. They have left me in the care of Katherine of all people. After all she has done, not just to me but to them too. But I guess I can understand since Bonnie and Caroline couldn't do it.

When I left Katherine, I noticed a hurt look on her face, but I had to have imagined it. She doesn't have any feelings and she doesn't care. If she did, she wouldn't have done all the things she's done. It's been about three hours since I came upstairs to my room and left her, but then again why do I care?

I set my diary on my nightstand after writing. I felt my eyes start to close and drifted off to sleep.

I was in the woods all alone. I suddenly saw a figure moving at fast speed. I couldn't make out who it was. All of a sudden I felt a hand cover my mouth.

"Hello Elena." came a voice from behind me. The body pressed against my back and their hands around my throat.

I struggled and they let me out of their grasp. I turned around to see my assailant. He was tall and had blonde hair with a smirk on his face. "Klaus." I said in a low voice.

"Ah you know who I am. Good. Now it's time to say goodbye." He said before lunging at my neck…

I woke up in a hot sweat. My heart was racing as I tried to control my breathing in the total darkness of my room.

I was in the parlor drinking some of Damon's scotch when I noticed a change in Elena's heartbeat. Something was wrong. I ran up to her room at vampire speed and turned on her light to find her sitting upright, staring at nothing.

"Elena?" I asked gingerly, careful not to startle her. I started to walk towards her. She broke out of her trance and looked up at me, she looked terrified. I knew there wasn't any threat, I would have noticed. I assumed what had frightened her was a nightmare. I didn't bother asking if she was ok because it was clear as day that she wasn't. I took a risk and sat on her bed beside her, pulling her into my arms. "You're ok Elena. You're safe." I wasn't used to this but it felt like the right thing to do.

After a while, I started to feel awkward because this whole 'feelings' thing was so new to me. I knew Elena was sleep and I didn't want to wake her, I laid her down on the bed and was about to exit her room, when she spoke.

"Don't go…please." She whispered but I could hear her clearly.

I didn't think twice before getting back in the bed beside her and pulling her into my arms again. She snuggled into me and sighed contently. I knew it was probably because she was so tired. Her breathing was steady as she fell asleep again. I reveled at how good it felt to have her in my arms and let her breathing lull me to sleep.
