Chapter 7

It was the beginning of the night, Katherine was dolling herself up turning herself into Elena while Damon just sat watched while drinking. Katherine was about to change when she turned to Damon, "Mind unzipping me," She whipped her now straightened hair around her shoulder.

Damon did as he told, slowly unzipping the back of her dress revealing her smooth back and her bra straps. Damon being a guy couldn't help but be attracted to her.

"It's perfectly fine if you're attracted to me." She smirked, the dress falling off her body onto the floor leaving her in her lingerie. She turned around facing him. But Damon moved away not falling into her trap.

"We have business to attend to Katherine after all it's the whole reason you dragged me here in the first place because you knew you wouldn't be able to save Stefan yourself." Damon replied, eying her.

She half smiled, "Or maybe it's because I wanted you to myself. I mean that bitch has been stealing you and Stefan away from me for quite awhile now. I miss you two."

Damon just laughed, "Don't give me that crap." He picked up his leather jacket and looked back at her, "Let's just get to business, shall we?" He opened the door ready to leave.

Katherine nodded, "Very well." She moved past him and went down the steps to leave.

"Are going to carry on having fun tonight, Ripper?" Klaus smirked.

Stefan just nodded, to him it wasn't fun. Killing innocent people wasn't fun at all. But he had to do it to keep his brother and Elena save, that's all he thought about when killing innocent people...well maybe the blood too, "of course." He replied.

They walked casually into the bar, heading straight to the bar grabbing a drink before they had their 'fun'. A beautiful blonde walked up to them, "Stefan."

Stefan turned around facing the blonde girl recognizing her from the other night and noticing the bite marks on her neck, she kissed him playfully on the cheek, "I had fun last night did you?"

Klaus watched Stefan's actions carefully, even though they had been together for awhile now all of summer and now most of the autumn he still was questioning Stefan and his love for his home town still. He knew that Stefan's mind wasn't fully into it. Stefan noticed Klaus watching him, keeping up his act, "Of course I did." He smiled at her. Grabbing the drinks Klaus and Stefan slipped into a booth with a couch eying up girls to come over to them.

Meanwhile, Damon and Katherine were just entering the bar. Katherine walked into the center looking around at her surroundings while Damon grabbed a drink of Bourbon at the bar. Katherine quickly noticed girls laughing and giggling, turning around she saw Stefan and Klaus, she rushed over to Damon.

"Damon," She hissed. Damon looked at her putting his drink down at the bar, "Klaus and Stefan are here." She stressed, turning her view towards them.

"Showdown, let's get this thing done then shall we?" Damon started strolling over to them.

"No Damon, you have to wait till Stefan's alone. It would be suicide not to mention stupid going up against Klaus. And we'd get no where with Stefan with Klaus around." Katherine raised her voice grabbing Damon's arm.

Sighing, he stopped in his tracks. "We could be waiting forever. I doubt Klaus is that eager to leave Stefan alone for very long."

Caroline and Bonnie were sat in the Grill gossiping, well mainly Caroline with Bonnie just laughing or agreeing.

"That's crazy right!" Caroline continuing the gossip conversation.

Bonnie laughed at her, "Definitely."

Caroline looked up as Elena walked in, "Elena!" She shouted to her friend waving her arms.

Elena half smiled at Caroline not knowing where Bonnie and her stood she felt quiet awkward so she didn't come over and intrude so she saw Matt working at the bar and decided to see how he was. "Poor Matt," She thought to herself, "A couple years ago we were all so close and now he's left practically by himself with his sister out the picture and now he finds it kinda weird to hang around vampires and a werewolf."

"Matt." Elena smiled at him.

Matt looked up and a smile grew on his face, "Oh hey Elena."

"How you been? We haven't really talked since you found out about everything, how you doing?" Elena asked, slightly concerned about her old friend.

Matt shrugged, "How is anyone supposed to be after they find out the people close to them is supernatural is some way."

Elena gave a sympathetic look, "I'm sorry Matt."

He gave her an awkward look, "Yeah, well. I should get back to work. See you later, Elena."

Elena let out a heavy sigh wondering when life got so messed up. She looked over at her two closest friends, whom one of them may actually hate her. She sat down putting her head on her crossed arms resting on the table. Oh and her maybe-maybe not boyfriend was with his ex-lover trying to get her ex-boyfriend back. "What the hell." Just as she stopped thinking, Bonnie came over to her.

"Hey." Bonnie greeted her awkwardly.

Elena looked up and smiled getting up from her seat wrapping her arms around her, "I'm sorry Bonnie. I don't want to fight, not with you. You're my best friend."

Bonnie smiled, "You're my best friend too, no matter who you date. Even if it's psycho vampire boy." She laughed.

Caroline came skipping over, "Yay!" She wrapped her arms around till they had a huge group hug.

Katherine was right when Klaus would eventually leave Stefan.

"I'm going to grab a bite to eat away from here. I assume you won't do anything bad and you will return by tonight." Klaus stood up staring down at Stefan.

"Yes." Stefan replied.

As Klaus left, Katherine and Damon appeared in front of him.

"Hello Brother." Stefan growled.

"Stefan."

"Stefan." Katherine murmured.

"Elena." Stefan's eyes grew wide standing up and looking at her.

Katherine tilted her head and smirked, "It's becoming too easy."

"Katherine." He growled, his face changing, "What are you doing here!" His gaze moved back to Damon, "Aren't you with dear Elena looking after her. Or have you given up on that?"

"The only person who has given up on Elena is YOU. You Stefan have given up on her. And yes, I will do anything to protect her even if that means dragging your ass back to Mystic Falls for this bitch here. If that is what it takes to protect and care for Elena then I will do anything. Because unlike you Stefan, I love her."
