Stefan

Katherine was tracing circles on my stomach, as I rubbed her back. Her breathing on my chest was driving me crazy, and she knew it. She sits up and stares down at me, licking her lips. She kisses my mouth, soft and smooth, but then her throat catches and she zaps backwards.

I sit up. "Katherine?"

Her usually naughty chocolate eyes are now filled with panic. She gives me a sad look, and starts putting my shirt on.

"Katherine," I say again. "What is it?"

Her breath shakes as she throws my pants to me, and slips into her lace.

I slide into my jeans, wondering what he problem is. She wraps her hands into her hair, and disappears farther into the tomb. I shake my head and follow her.

When I come to a dead end, I start to worry. Where did she disappear?

I feel a hand grab my shoulder and nearly jump out of my skin. Katherine is there, crying and backed into a small area that I didn't see before. "It's Klaus," she sobs. "It's Klaus, it has to be Klaus."

I hug her into me and let her sob onto my shoulder.

"Katarina?" A smooth voice seeps into the tomb like melting chocolate. Katherine starts shaking hard and backs into the darkness. I follow her and sit down, pulling down on me. She curls up on my lap, she seems so small, so innocent here now. She lets out a sob and I cover her mouth tightly, and kiss her temple, murmuring, "Shh."

"I know you are here, Katarina." There is the clack-clack as he takes a step forward, and Katherine shivers.

Clack

Clack

Clack

A figure with a hat steps into my line of vision and I hold Katherine into me. I feel her lip trembling under my hand as Klaus steps into my line of vision. Katherine buries her face in my shoulder just as Klaus turns around. He has a scowl on his face, long brown hair, and a scar above his golden eyes. I swear he looks right into my eyes and my throat closes up, but he just groans and turns around, walking away.

I know you're hear, Katarina," he calls. "And I will be back for you."

Katherine and I waited a minute in dead silence, and after we were sure he was gone, she broke down, sobbing on my shoulder. I had never seen Katherine cry before, and it ripped my heart out.


I know it's short, but don't worry! The next chapter will leave you guessing! :D
