I sat in the car on the side of the road gripping the steering wheel as flashes started filling in. I began to see a story unfold. An untold story, a hidden story. Flashes, or memories unfolding starring me and Damon. The knot in my throat got thicker and thicker. Where was this all coming from? I started to realize that this was no coincidence, it wasn't my imagination, it wasn't about the change I had gone through. I was definatly remembering. As the missing puzzle pieces became more clear I realized that although it was in complete agony I was beginning to feel whole again. I finally felt some kind of peace, because the more memories that unfolded the more the burning nagging began to subside. I pulled out onto the road and slammed on the gas heading towards Bonnie's.
(Katherine & Damon)
Damon pulled into the long drive of the Manor on the hill about an hour outside of town. He made his way up to the door when the witch Tabitha answered the door.
"Where's Katherine?" He asked. Tabitha's face twisted into a smile but remained silent.
"Who is it Tabitha?" Katherine called from inside. Damon's eyes cut sharply over Tabitha's shoulder recognizing Katherine's voice.
"It's Damon." Tabitha answered still smiling. In a flash Katherine was at the door.
"Thank you Tabitha." Katherine said dismissing her. "Well, well. Damon. What a pleasant surprise. How are you and Elena doing?" She laughed the sour spoiled laugh that made Damon's skin crawl.
"I need you for something." Damon answered sharply.
"My pleasure." Katherine smiled suggestively reaching out for the collar on Damon's shirt. She jerked him forward her face a mere inch from his. "Please tell me what I can do for you." She whispered running her lips softly across Damon's. She pulled Damon inside and pushed him against the wall. She started kissing his neck and unbuttoning the top of his shirt.
"Katherine stop." He snapped pushing firmly against her shoulder. She gasped and pouted like a little girl.
"What do you want Damon?" She asked icily walking further into the livingroom. She turned and watched Damon follow her. "You couldn't possibly believe I would help reunite you and Elena." She scoffed.
"I know you won't. But I need you to make me forget." He answered.
She turned, surprised by his request.
"Why?" She asked.
"Think about it Katherine. What did you want out of this? To break Elena and I up? Well congrats, it worked. But all I do is think about her. All I do is try time and time again to make her remember. All I want is her Katherine." He explained.
"Why are you telling me all this? What do I care?" She laughed. Damon smiled in return playing along with her game. He walked over to the small table against the wall and saw a pen laying there on top of a stack of white printing paper.
"You know, I'm surprised to see you staying here Katherine. This was honestly the only place I knew to look. I thought this place would be falling in by now." Damon said looking around like he was noticing his surroundings for the first time.
"It was the only property my father purchased in our stay here. I've had it renovated several times. But I only decided to stay here in case of emergencies. I'm leaving town tomorrow, going back to New York." She explained.
"Emergencies huh? Like destroying the only life I've managed to build?
"Why don't you finish telling me why your here, Damon." Katherine snapped. Damon smiled looking around the house again. He grabbed the pen off the table. He glanced into the main sitting room and noticed the steel door still located in the corner of the room like a coat closet. He walked into the room and sat down on the couch. She followed in behind him and sat down beside him.
"I'm here Katherine because I was always looking for you. I refused to give up on you. I loved you Katherine. I loved you every single day mourning the death of you that I thought had happened. Even when I found out you were alive the anger and hurt still didn't amount to the love I had for you."
Katherine stared at Damon in shock. Her eyes wide and shining with oncoming tears.
"Damon I'm so sorry." She whispered.
"That's how I felt Katherine. Until I met Elena." Her eyes narrowed and she got up in a rise of anger.
"Why are you here!" She demanded.
He stood up and walked to her. He ran his fingers down a lock of her hair.
"If you just make me forget her, I can remember you." He smiled sincerely. "Get her out of my head Katherine." He pleaded in a whisper. He then leaned down and kissed her gently. She nodded violently.
"Okay, I'll do it. But will you do something for me Damon?" She asked.
"Anything, what is it?" He replied.
"Will you come back with me to New York?" She pleaded, her eyes wide with hope.
He smiled. "Yes." He answered. Her face lit up.
"Okay. Let me go get Tabitha." She said leaving the room in hurry. Damon lifted his hand and wrote a quick reminder on his palm. Then he drew a tiny black arrow around the crease of the middle of his arm pointing down to his hand just in case. He heard them approaching and he tossed the pen aside. Katherine returned followed by Tabitha who looked a little less than enthusiastic about Katherine's decision.
"Okay, make him forget Elena." Katherine said in a serious tone.
"Yeah, and you might want to do a better job then you did with Elena cause she knows something is different." Damon warned Tabitha. Tabitha rolled her eyes and lifted her hands toward Damon seeming to fall into deep concentration.
Suddenly Damon turned and grabbed Katherine by the back of hair as she screamed. He pulled her to the steel door and lifted the heavy latch throwing her into the darkness.
"What are you doing!" She screamed back at him with pain fresh in her eyes.
Damon smiled at her cowering in the corner. "You called me weak and look at you Katherine. You didn't even fight back." He slammed the steel door and threw the latch back down and quickly turned to Tabitha who's face was frozen in horror.
"Make me forget! Now!" He yelled at her.
"Why should I" She hissed, her voice shaking with fear.
"You make me forget, and I'll go. Then you can let her out and I want you gone by tonight. Do you understand?" Damon growled. She stood silent in shock.
"Do you understand!" He screamed.
"Yes, yes..." She finally said. She lifted her hands to him again and began to chant. After only a moment she let her hands fall and looked at Damon. He was already looking around the room like he had suddenly appeared there seemingly confused.
Tabitha stormed to him.
"There! Now get out!" She screeched. He put his arms up blocking her by her shoulders. He then noticed the arrow on his arm and flipped his palm up to read : KILL THE WITCH
With a quick snap of her neck he could barely hear her body hit the floor by the time he made it outside.
I pounded on Bonnie's door until she answered.
"Elena, what's wrong?" She asked seeing my face.
"Stefan is lying to me!" I yelled. "I can remember things, things with Damon and I but I don't understand it completely."
"Elena, you've been through a lot, I'm sure your just imagning-"
"NO! No I'm not imagining anything Bonnie! I'm tired of people telling me I am! I'm not. They are memories Bonnie. I loved Damon, I fell inlove with him but I just don't understand when, or what happened!" I screamed.
Bonnie looked at me for a silent moment and shook her head and looked to the ground.
"Let's go see Stefan." Bonnie finally said.
"What?"
"Let's go to Stefans, and I'll fix what I can."
"What do you mean Bonnie?" I asked in shock. I only got a long defeated look from her. "You already know everything don't you? You and Stefan." My mouth fell open.
"Elena...just take me to Stefans." She repeated.
