Vampire Diaries: Katherine & Elena
Author's Note: Enjoy!
Chapter 2:
Two Days Later
"Ughh, Elena do we have to do this? This is sooo boring."
Elena looked up from her school project, lying on her bed beside of her complaining girlfriend.
The brunette in question rose her eyebrows.
"Katherine, you don't have to help you'know. You can leave anytime you want too."
The vampire sighed, standing from the teenagers bed and stretching her legs. "You know that's not what I meant." The doppelgänger took her companions hands gently leading her off the bed, swooping her into her arms.
"What I meant was...why don't we, you'know take a break or something? We've been in here for hours and I'd really like to finish or at least break before I explode and disfigure all over your beautiful face."
"Katherine..." The human warned, wrapping her arms around the vampires neck.
"Come on, pleaseeee." The brunette pouted, earning a slight groan from her counterpart.
"Fine...But, only if that break includes taking me out for ice cream later."
The brunette human compromised and Katherine couldn't help grinning ear from ear.
"You bet."
"Good, now before we go down; I really have to get this down stairs, so...help?"
"Why?" Katherine questioned curiously, already moving past the human and picking up the papers and utensils needed for the project.
Elena moved right along with her, picking up other needed tools, shrugging. "Jenna's gonna be home soon, I want to show her when we're finished."
Katherine wrapped her arm around the girls shoulders, shaking her head. "Well, this is one thing I don't miss from my human life."
The vampire pulled her girlfriend closer and in another second they were down stairs.
"You know- uh...Elena? You can let go now."
Katherine chuckled as the human slowly and stiffly let go of her waist, opening her watery eyes.
"Honestly, I don't know why you hold on so tight, babe. You know I'd never let you go, don't you?"
Elena wiped at her watery eyes before half walking half stumbling across the room and onto the couch, throwing a glance over her shoulder.
"Charming Innuendo, but I swear Katherine..."
Katherine chuckled before zapping over and sitting beside the girl on the couch, gently laying down the brunette's project.
Elena groaned, suddenly dizzy as she eyed the older girl. "Don't you ever get tired of doing that?"
The vampire shrugged nonchalantly. "Not really, it's fun."
That comment earned her a glare from the frowning human beside of her. "It's nauseating."
The vampire chuckled once more before pulling the brunette into her lap, non-vampiric speed mind you, for Elena's sake.
"That my dear, probably has something to do with you being human and little o'l me, a vampire." The doppelgänger flashed her fangs, teasingly.
Elena's smile begin to grow just as she felt the familiar nausea coming on again.
Katherine's eyebrows furrowed as she stared at the girl warily, watching all the color drain from her face.
"Uh...Elena?"
The vampire quickly retracted her fangs, accidentally shifting the brunette girl in her lap a little more.
That was it.
"Oh my god!"
"Elena! What's-" The vampire tried, watching her girlfriend all but run out of the room and into another part of the house, attempts were obviously hard to come by.
Katherine snorted, sitting alone on the couch, dazed and confused. "Okay, definitely not the reaction I was going for." Muttered the vampire.
It was true, she'd never really shown Elena her fangs up close and personally before but the vampire figured she'd seen some form of them before and being best buddies with the Salvatore's were enough to convince her that.
"Guess, maybe it's just me." Katherine mused silently on the thought of her doppelgänger not wanting to see herself as a vampire.
She felt a slight twitch in her conscience.
"Maybe she doesn't want to be turned, I mean we are mates but there's nothing written in stone that says she has to be turned even if the term ultimately means together forever. Mm...not that I wouldn't want to be with for eternity and beyond that but I'd never wish upon anyone and especially not the love of my life the burden of being a vampire...she'd miss her family, friends, and so much more. The human world has so much more to offer than living like this."
...
"I'd still have you, y'know..."
Katherine physical jumped slightly, eyes widening. "Is that...?"
"And as much as I love my family, I'm your mate and I'd miss you so much more if I have to leave this world alone and leave you behind one day...I don't care where I'd end up, I'd hate it without you."
"Elena?"
There was a pause.
"Yeah?"
Katherine breathed out a sigh of amazement, corners of the brunette's lips turned up.
"You know you're in my head, right now?"
Katherine could feel the momentary pause the girl took before continuing this time.
"How? I mean I know, the mate thing but weren't you supposed to know if I were ever in your head."
"I don't know, maybe I let you in subconsciously because you're my mate...and I trust you."
"Aww..."
Katherine cleared her throat. "Right...Okay, where are you? Why'd you run away from me a second ago?"
The brunette vampire's ear intentionally twitched, putting her vampiric hearing to good use, she listened in upstairs.
"Well actually, I'm kinda-
The brunette stopped thinking and the vampires eyebrows furrowed concerned before she'd heard the unmistakable sound of retching upstairs.
The vampires eyes widened and in seconds she was upstairs.
"Elena!" The vampire exclaimed, stumbling into the bathroom, walking over to the brunette human hunched over the toilet, literally spilling her guts.
"Oh sh*t, Elena. I am so so sorry for this...I didn't mean to-I mean I didn't think-"
A held up hand shushed the vampire from her rambling apology. "It's fine...just, please don't let it happen again."
The vampire immediately nodded, kneeling beside her and pulling her hair back. "Anything."
[ Twenty-Two Awful Vomiting Minutes Later :) ]
"Feeling better?" Katherine questioned after reluctantly being kicked out of the bathroom the last ten minutes, so Elena could clean up.
The vampire had just been sitting on the couch bored, lost in thought.
"Yeah actually, feeling pretty great." Elena smiled, cheeks slightly reddened. "Thanks by the way...for y'know helping me back there, I know domestic activity and taking care of people aren't really your 'thing'."
Katherine couldn't help but smile at the attractive looking brunette, shaking her head. "Well, I don't care, you know why?" The vampire stood up, wrapping her arms gently around the humans torso.
Elena blushed, arms wrapping themselves around the vampires neck, wrist intersecting and locking.
"Mm...why?"
The vampire smiled genuinely, taking in the beauty before her before taking one arm from her waist, stroking her cheek. "Cause, You're my thing...and I mean that in the most respectful way." The vampire quickly covered, pulling the brunette closer. "You're mine...and I'd do anything for you."
"Anything?" The brunette human blushed another bright red.
"Anything." Katherine's genuine smile, transformed into her infamous wickedly smirk. "You know, you are so adorable..."
The brunette vampire led them over to the couch, sitting the younger girl back into her lap. "So, adorable I could just eat you up...or out-"
"Katherine!"
"What?"
The vampire chuckled at the humans futile attempts at hitting her arm and even more futile attempts at scolding her. "I'm kidding." The vampire chuckled.
The human glared half heartedly at the vampire, before shaking her head and giggling a little of her own. "Why aren't you like this with everyone? You know, I guarantee that everyone would be less likely as to wanting to kill you if you were."
The vampire nodded in agreement. "True, but where's the fun in that?"
"Katherine...I'm serious."
The vampire sighed, shrugging slightly looking into warm brown eyes. "I don't know, I mean I'm not in love with them...I care about them because you care about them and I care about you, maybe that's wrong but their not you."
The fanged doppelgänger paused for a moment, in thought. "I guess I have a hard time making friends anyway, seeing as I don't usually stay in one place for too long but now that you're here...well I'd stay here for eternity if you want and...I guess if their your friends and most of them are vampires anyway I guess eventually we'd have to get along...in time."
The brunette human's expression immediately lightened immensely at the vampire's confession, leaning into her. "You really do know how to flatter a girl."
The vampires eyebrows wiggled teasingly, nonetheless. "I do, don't I?"
The brunette human simply rolled her eyes, playfully.
"Just me, I hope?" She teased, narrowing her eyes.
The vampire's face immediately broke into an even wider smile, pulling the girl closer to her by the waist and nuzzling their noses. "Of course."
The human brought their lips even closer together. "Mhmm..."
Elena turned around straddling the sitting vampire, leaning in closer before-
"Elena, Open up! Elena, Come on! I know you're in there!"
There was a pause and Katherine knew it.
He'd sensed her.
"Katherine!" The voice yelled angrily. "Katherine! I swear to- if you've hurt her, you're dead!"
Elena quickly pulled away and Katherine reluctantly pulled away also, rolling her eyes and breathing a sigh of annoyance.
"Salvatore's...I swear." The vampire grumbled as her brunette doppelgänger crawled off of her lap, standing up and walking over to the door.
"Katherine...be nice."
The vampire shook her head, following closely behind the human. "Elena love, I love you to bits and pieces and I swear I'd do anything for you, but refraining from killing a Salvatore...that's a lot to ask."
The brunette human just shook her head in amusement in her girlfriend's actions. "I love you too." Was her only reply before pulling the vampire's hand along with her to open the door.
Leaning up to kiss her cheek quickly, the brunette human unlocked and opened her door.
"Damon...What-
"You!" was his only reply, eyes burning straight into Katherine's.
Brown eyes, twinkled with mischief.
"My my my, words aren't really your go-to today are they?"
There was a growl and in a matter of seconds (Surprise, Surprise) the sarcastic brunette was pinned against the wall, the younger vampire's hands around her throat.
"Damon!" Elena yelled in surprise.
"You think this is funny? This is not a game Katherine? Where in the h*ll is my brother!?"
The older vampire chuckled in effort, despite the tight grip around her neck. "You two never did get that self-control thing down did you? I mean at least your brother was better at hiding it. That's you Salvatore's problem."
The grip tightened around her neck, choking her at the most but not nearly enough to be vital, though he didn't need to know that.
"Damon! Let her go!"
"Stay out of this, Elena!" The younger vampire kept his eyes on the older vampire in front of him. " And you, Shut. The f*ck up. What are you even doing here anyway? With Elena? Are compelling her just to hurt her...or have you done so already? Cause, I swear to god if you have-"
"Not this again, you Salvatore's are all the same. Empty threats, really?"
"Yeah well if you think for one second that I'm gonna let you hurt Elena, you're wrong...So either you go, or we're leaving."
The vampire rolled her eyes.
"Like h*ll."
"You're gonna make her leave her own home? If I'm so dangerous, who says I won't wait here until Jenna and little Jeremy gets home and attempt to kill them too." She spat.
Damon hesitated. "Well..." The younger vampire cleared his throat, lousily. "I'm not about to let you hurt Elena, so well that's just a chance we'll have to take."
Katherine took one look over the boys shoulder and her eyes set on her doppelgänger girlfriend, eyes wide with fear and hurt.
"Idiot." She'd thought angrily at the boy that upset her mate.
"If I were you, Katherine-
A sudden animalistic growl ripped from the back of the older vampire's throat, using her vampiric speed to switch their positions so she was pinning him now.
"Well, you're not me." The vampire through the boy across the room.
"And if you were me you'd know that I'd never hurt, Elena. Elena means everything to me and I'd slit my own throat before that happens, h*ll I'd let you do it, and that's a sworn promise."
The vampire let out a low primal growl again, stepping closer towards the younger vampire, lifting himself from the ground.
"So, If you want to threaten someone about what will happen to them if they hurt, Elena. Why don't you try you're idiot brother, tweedledum next time? Cause I swear to god if it weren't for Elena, your brother would be as good as dead right now!"
The vampire went to lunge at the Salvatore but was held back by a hand wrapping around her forearm.
"Stop. Katherine, He didn't do anything, remember? It wasn't him, it was Stefan." The reassured comment was meant to be whispered for Katherine's ears only but immediately it was Damon whose eyes widened, finally getting onto his feet.
"What? What's Stefan got to do with any of this!?"
Katherine's fist clenched, angrily in response. "Wrong Salvatore, Katherine...wrong Salvatore."
Damon just stared at the two silent girls waiting for a response, before loosing his patience. "Well!?" He yelled and Katherine instinctively took a step in front of her girlfriend, protectively.
"Katherine...it's alright." The brunette slowly moved from behind the brunette but kept their hands interlocked, just in case. "Stefan-"
*Bump!*
"Elena! Elenaaa, I kn-know you're in there! Comeeeee on ou-out."
The unmistakable voice of none other than Stefan Salvatore was heard, echoing through the house.
"Is-is he drunk?"
There was another loud bang on the door startling them.
"Come on out, b*tch! If you're not out in ten minutes I swearrrr..."
The Salvatore's voice trailed off into a hiccup and then the undeniable sound of a very non-manly giggle.
Katherine's eyes burned holes through the door. "Ya think." The vampire made for the door but not fast enough for Damon to zap in front of her, blocking her path.
"Damon, move. Now!"
"No. No way! Not until you tell me exactly what my brother did."
Katherine tried controlling her anger, she really did.
The vampire growled, quickly throwing the boy against a nearby wall. "Is that a good enough answer for you!?"
Elena ran in front of her mate, blocking her path just as Damon had.
"Elena..." The vampire warned.
"Katherine..." The human warned back, defiantly.
Elena watched her vampire's confident gaze falter a little.
"Katherine..." The human brunette's voice softened. "Katherine, you promised. You promised me."
After a long stare off, the older vampire finally let out something of a frustrated sigh, running her hand over her face. "Oh, fine." Grumbled the vampire grumpily, grabbing her jacket from the couch.
"Wait. Katherine, where are you going? Don't do this." Elena's voice pleaded in the vampire's ears, echoing words, the vampire had no choice but to turn around giving her a slight reassuring look.
"Ugh! What is this girl doing to me?"
"I won't, I swear. I love you and I promise I'll come back in one piece, give me...thirty minutes?"
Elena paused before reluctantly nodding causing a huge grin to break out into the vampire's face.
"I am so going to have fun with this."
The vampire excitedly picked up her human and spinning her around causing a short squeal from the brunette before finally setting her down on her feet, the vampire turned towards the younger vampire narrowing her eyes.
"And you, vampires are on my a*s this year and hers now, so keep watch and don't leave her here...cause queen or no queen, I will have you beheaded."
The brunette human rolled her eyes playfully at the fierce protective sound in the vampire's voice as the vampire gave the human a short but sentimental kiss on the cheek before scurrying out the door, leaving a very red blushing brunette human and a very dazed and confused vampire slouching against a wall.
"Is this the twilight zone or did that really just happen...? And did Katherine actually willingly agree to not kill Stefan? What is going on here? Should I be worried?"
Elena sighed, half heartedly. Walking into the kitchen with the Salvatore trailing behind her.
Turning towards him, the human shook her head and replied back.
"It's...a long story."
The male brunette vampire leaned against the kitchen isle and crossed his arms. "It's a good thing I've got forever then, isn't it?"
-(Line Break)-
"Damon it's been two hours, we've got to go out and find them!"
"Elena, no. Believe me when I say our attempts will be futile, I mean this is Katherine we're talking about here. You'll only find her if she wants to be found."
"Yeah, I know that but Damon we can't just-"
The front door suddenly swings open and Katherine comes stumbling in.
Damon's eyebrows simply rose but Elena was livid.
"Katherine! I can't believe you-"
The brunette vampire suddenly stumbled more falling over, going into a seriously long coughing fit of nothing. And then there was blood. Hemoptysis maybe.
Elena's anger immediately dispersed. "Oh my god, Katherine." The brunette ran over to the vampire kneeling on the ground, coughing up blood.
"Katherine, did Stefan do this to you?" The human questioned, worriedly and concerned on not knowing how to help her bleeding mate.
Katherine's head shook, causing another coughing fit. "Elena...babe, you wound me." The vampire joked, immediately regretting her decision at talking, groaning at her sore throat.
"Katherine, please. I'm serious."
By now, looking up the vampire could see the tears welling up in her mates eyes at her distress.
"Just...Just...call your...call your witch off." The vampire spoke in between coughs, resting her head on the floor.
Elena's breath hitched. "Bonnie? Bonnie did this to you?"
The vampire groaned, nodding slowly and painfully. Drained. "Yeah...I-In her defense, I-I don't think s-she knows we-we-we-"
Tears slid down Elena's cheeks as she laced her fingers with the vampire's, and huddled closer not caring of the blood staining her clothes.
Across the room, Damon watched in exception and worry just as Elena turned to him.
"Damon! We have to help her! Do something!"
Panicked, The younger vampire immediately moved from his slouched cool position against the wall at the urgency in the brunette's voice. "I don't-I don't-" His senses tinkered in, ears twitching suddenly.
His eyes widened. "Elena..."
Elena's eyebrows rose, never taking her eyes off of her love.
"What?" Was the whisper.
"Bonnie."
That was it. That definitely got her attention.
"What-"
The already open front door suddenly closed with a slam and two heads turned towards the strained noise.
Bonnie.
"Elena, we need to talk-wait, why is she here? I thought I'd-"
"Undo it." Elena'd interrupted immediately, glaring up at the witch.
Bonnie's eyebrows furrowed, confusingly. "What?"
Elena finally stood up from her position on the floor beside of her girlfriend, standing face to face with the witch that started this, her best friend. "Un-do-it. Now."
Bonnie startled at the sudden change of tension, quickly muttered the spell of undoing it under her breath and with a wave of her hand, Katherine gasped as sudden air re-entered her lungs where it had been reprieved just seconds before.
Elena quickly ran over to the girl, past Damon who was hovering over her and dropping to her knees in front of the vampire, propping her up against the back of the couch in a sitting position.
"Katherine...?" Elena questioned, worriedly.
The vampire's eyes slowly opened, infamous smirk plastered onto her face. "Hey, babe."
A sigh of relief left the humans lips, arms immediately going around the vampire's neck, pushing into her.
"Don't ever do that to me again...you terrified me." The human softly whispered in her vampire's ear.
The vampire chuckled softly, still weak from the blood loss. "Sorry, babe. I just...I so wish I could hold you right now."
Elena's head immediately snapped up from their position, suddenly back in worried girlfriend mode again. "Right. Damon?" The humans eyes settled on the Salvatore a crossed the room, already heading towards the kitchen.
"Blood, got it."
Elena eyes turned back towards her girlfriend concerned which earned her a grateful smile from the vampire.
"I'm fine. Just a little weak, I promise."
The brunette human reluctantly accepted, nodding. "Fine." She grumbled, leaning in even closer to the vampire, whispering in her ear. "Just this once, I'll believe you when you say that...you're always getting into some form of trouble and you have a strange sense of being 'okay' and 'fine', y'know."
The vampire weakly nuzzled them closer. "What can I say? I like to keep things interesting, is that a bad thing?"
The brunette human, giggled, pulling away from the vampire's neck and quickly pecking the vampire's lips and leaning her head against her mates.
"No...not always, definitely not a bad thing."
And both girls smiled at each other, knowing full well of how true the statement resembled them, completely forgetting about other peering eyes in the room watching the clearly romantic display.
"Uh...guys?" Bonnie's eyebrows rose suspiciously at the couple, watching one of her best friends basically cuddling in her supposedly enemies lap for obvious reasons...really didn't sit to well with the witch.
"Am I missing something?"
But the couple were clearly not taking notice in the bemused witch and the slightly annoyed vampire, only smiled dazed and lovesick at each other.
"Uh...guys?"
Blood bag completely forgotten, Damon snorted at the witches futile attempts at getting the couple to snap out of it and notice them, rolling his eyes and crossing his arms before giving the witch his full attention standing diagonal from her.
"It's...a long story."
