Elena POV
After last night, my mind was filled with thoughts and questions no one could really answer. After the dream, it was hard to go back to sleep but eventually I did. I got up and did my normal morning routine. Damon wasn't in bed when I woke up but I could hear him downstairs. I walked downstairs to find him at the stove.
The smell of eggs and bacon made my mouth water. Even though we didn't need to eat human food anymore, we always enjoyed it. It was normal for us. I walked up behind him and placed a light kiss on the back of his neck. "Good morning babe"
As he scrambled the eggs, he quickly turned and gave me a kiss. "Morning baby, how did you sleep?" he asked as he turned his attention back to the stove.
I went and sat at the table while waiting for him to finish up. "It was pretty well. Yours?" I said twirling my fingers. I don't know why I was so nervous. Maybe it's because of the dream I had about Katherine.
"It was good. I have news though. Stefan called and said he wants me to visit him for a few days in Paris. That ok with you?" He said as he brought two plates over to the table, placing one in front of me.
"Yes of course it's ok. I know how much he must miss you and I know you miss him too. It would be good for both of you" I said with a smile as I dug into my delicious breakfast.
"Thank you babe. You're right I do miss him a lot." He said with a genuine smile. I could tell he was excited about going.
After we finished breakfast and I did the dishes, I went upstairs and took a shower. Katherine still on my kind.
Should I even tell Damon about it? I don't know how he would take his girlfriend having weird dreams about his ex-girlfriend.
After I got dressed, I went to Damon as he was packing to leave and have him a passionate kiss. "I'll miss you while you're gone babe, but I hope you have fun." I said wrapping my arms sound his neck.
"I will miss you too baby. It's only a few days. I got to get going though, don't want to miss my flight." He said as he grabbed his luggage and gave me one last kiss. "I love you Elena."
"I love you too Damon." I said as I watched him walk to his car. Since Damon was gone, I was going to need something to do.
My mind flashes back to the night I last saw Katherine and what happened after me and Damon got together.
It had been a year since Katherine left and we were at peace. Stefan was back with us but he was still struggling to get back to how he used to be.
Katherine's words and the look on her face when she told me she loved me still plagued my mind. I knew I couldn't keep this from Damon. So I decided to tell him. I found him sitting in the parlor.
"Damon? Are you alright" I said, taking a seat next to him.
"Yeah babe, I'm fine. Are you ok?" He asked looking into my eyes.
"I actually need to talk to you about something. It's about the night Katherine came to give you the cure" I said taking a deep breathe.
"What about her? Did she hurt you?" He asked. I could tell he was starting to get angry already so I quickly replied.
"No Damon, she didn't hurt me. Um...Actually quite the opposite. She told me that she gave you the cure for me...And then she kissed me" I said and looked at him to see his reaction.
At first he was frozen, his face unreadable. Then he started laughing so hard I thought he would have a heart attack, even though he was already dead.
After what seemed like forever, he calmed himself down and replied. "You're joking right? Katherine? Katherine Pierce, Queen Bitch, kissed you? You can't possibly believe her can you? She's manipulative Elena, she was just trying to get in your head" he laughed and kisses my forehead.
I never mentioned Katherine's name again after that night because I knew he wouldn't believe me. Hell, I'm not sure if she was even telling me the truth that night either. Damon's not wrong. She does like to play mind games.
I just couldn't get over the sad, longing look she had in her eyes and face. It was so real. I decided to try talking to Bonnie. Hopefully she wouldn't react the way he did, but who knows. As I got in my car and drove to her house, I pondered on what I would say. I mean how exactly do you approach that? "Hey Bonnie guess what? I'm not having dreams about my evil doppelgänger and I think she's in love with me?" Yeah that wouldn't go over well.
She knew about what happened with Katherine back when Damon was sick with the werewolf bite. Everyone in our group did. Maybe she'd be more understanding. I reached her house and knocked on her door. She answered a minute later.
"Elena! Long time no see" she said with a laugh as she stepped aside to let me in. "What brings you here? Had enough of Damon for today?"
I walked into her living room and sat down. "Actually he's gone to visit Stefan for a few days. He left this morning after breakfast. That's not why I came. I need to talk to you about something, but you can't tell anyone ok?" I said as I looked at her.
"Of course I won't Elena. What's going on?" She asked with a look of concern.
"You remember when I told you about Katherine?" She gave me a nod and I continued. "Well ever since, I've been having these weird dreams about her. It's like she's trying to tell me something but before she can, I wake up. I have no clue what it means and it's bugging the hell out of me." I finish with a deep breathe. The look on Bonnie's face as she takes in what I've just told her is one of shock.
"Elena if you really believe that she's trying to tell you something, I would say listen to your dreams. They always have different meanings; you just have to pay close attention." She said with a smile. "I just hope it's nothing bad. I kind of like having a drama free life" she laughed.
We talked for a few hours before I decided to head back home. Talking with her was a good idea. Plus I needed to tell someone about what's happening. I arrived at the boarding house in minutes. It was weird not seeing Damon's Camaro there. I sent a text to him letting him know that I missed him and to say hello to Stefan for me. I heard the sound of a new text and looked at it
I miss you too baby, and don't worry I will. Don't have too much fun without me ;) -Damon
I smiled and sent him a reply
That's not possible; no one can make me have more fun than you ;)
I walked inside the house and stopped in my tracks just as the door closed shut. In front of me was the woman I hadn't seen in person in years now.
Katherine.
She looked, dare I say it, nervous. She had her long wavy hair and a black top with blue jeans. I couldn't think of a word to say.
"Hello Elena."
