Chapter 12: Rumour has it!

Kat's POV

The next morning, I had a feeling, that Damon had read my note and as it seemed I was right..

After lunch, Harry, Ron, Hermione and me were walking outside, talking about how we could take the moonstone from Malfoy. I didn't tell them about Damon being here.

They knew who he was, but I never told him, he was here, ready to kill anyone who would bring elena's precious life in danger! But when we were heading to the front doors,

to get inside, I heard a scream a few metres away from the castle. I gave my friends a look and before they could say anything, I was gone, hoping that Damon wasn't doing,

what I expected him to do.

As I arrived, I was just angry. There he was, Damon, walking around, thinking he could do everything he wants without taking the consequences. Before I would scream at him,

I decided to stay and to watch the scene between him and Malfoy.

"So, you're the little brat Draco Malfoy, correct? The one who things he can play games with me and my friends!" Damon looked at him deadly and pressed him harder against

the wall. Malfoy shook his head.

"Nooo, I...I..-you don't understand...it's...I mean.." He stottered like a five year old, and it was fun to see that Damon could destroy his self-confidence.

"No? Than I have a question for you: Who told you to steal it?"

"What?"

"Wrong answer!" Damon answered and hit him in the stomach.

"I-It was my dad. They-they want it for a deal with some guy named Klaus." Damon's face went pale and he lightened his grib a little. Of course, now he is afraid of Elena again..

"Who are they?" Now Malfoy smirked a little.

"The dark lord and his death-eaters. They want him and his Hybrids in their armee and they will kill everyone who will stand in their way."

Damon now was so angry that he wanted to kill him. He placed both hands on the sides of Malfoy's neck, ready to snap it, but then I stepped in, running towards them and

throwing Damon a few metres away. Somewhere behind me, I heard Harry, Hermione and Ron arriving, probably wondering what they should do. I knew Damon would now

want to fight with me, so I turned around to Draco.

"If you want to live than you should leave as fast as you can!" And when I finished my sentence, he was already gone, but I couldn't think about him, because Damon was already

screaming at me.

"Are you nuts? I would've got all the information we needed!"

I shook my head and screamed back, letting out all my frustration against him! "No! You would've killed him and that woul've only got us attention! But as I know you, you

think, everything you did was just perfect! "

He came towards me. "That's because it was!"

I came towards him too. "That's so typical! You always think, that no matter what you do, it won't fail because you think you are the center of the world, Damon, but let me

tell you something: Someday, it will all come crashing down at you, and then when Elena decides to be with Stefan, you will come to me again, but you know what? I won't

decide to be with you either!"

Now I would hurt him back, he wouldn't dare to play around with me anymore and I knew that it would work because suddenly he became a little quiet again and I could see

in his eyes that he was unsure if I knew what he was doing to me or not, and he was definetly sad by what I said about Elena.

"Why is that?" He asked me with a sentimental voice.

I stepped even closer to him, and I knew my friends did the same, although they knew what I was, they wanted to help me.

I raised my eyebrows a little. "Because the truth is...I've never loved you. It was always Stefan." Of course I lied, but I knew that the only way to really hurt him was to say

that his brother was the better choice. And it worked, first he looked heartbroken, but then his anger took over and he pushed me against a tree, which was about ten metres

away. "You little psychopatic bitch! You want to be my enemy? Than that's what you get. Watch out, Katherine. Klaus isn't the only one, you should now be afraid of!"

I let out a small laugh and shoved him to the floor to lean down to him. "You know Damon, I've been around for a loong time and you know, rumour has it, that you are

trying to fool me, to come back to Mystic Falls." I said quietly. He smiled.

"I should've know, you would find out, you always do. And in all the centuries, I looked for you, I realized how you can be so smart. You aren't capable of love, Katherine.

You only care about yourself. That's what makes you so smart and strong on the outside, but you know what? The fact that you aren't capable of love, makes you even weaker

on the inside."

He was somehow right, and that hurt. But I wouldn't let him win this fight.

"Ouuch! Damon,that hurt. But you're right. In all those centuries I looked out for myself, I will always look out for myself. You should try that to." With that I stood up to stand

next to Harry, Ron and Hermione, who looked a little confused, but at the same, they seemed to understand, particularly Harry. Damon stood up and looked at them, then

he laughed. "So, your new plan is to be friends with wizards? Do you really think they can stop Klaus from killing you?"

Hermione seemed to be upset. "Yes, actually we can. I'm sure we are better in protecting someone than you!"

Damon clenched his teeth. "Careful with your words. You don't seem to have a death-wish!"

Hermione snoffed. "Don't you have to protect your brother's girlfriend? You should go!"

He seemed to think about what she said. "This isn't over yet. Trust me Katherine, you will help us, even if we have to force you!"

I smiled and waved. "Goodbye Damon, and watch out for werewolfs, you know, I won't be there to look for a medicine next time!"

He glared at me and then he was gone, just like that.

Ron turned to me. "What do you mean medicine? Why would he need medicine?"

I looked at him. "When a werewolf bites one of us, we die, slowly, and painfully. It's like we grow weaker and weaker and we become nuts, you know halluzinisations and stuff.

Not the best company! The only medicine is the blood of an original. Since the whole original family except for Klaus is "dead", we would have to take the blood from

the last thing he would do, is to help us now!"

Harry raised his eyebrows. "How did you get it last time?"

I sighed. "Stefan, made a deal with him. That he would help Klaus to create Hybrids, once the sacrifice is over, which hasn't happened yet!"

We headed back to the castle, went to dinner and then to the common room. Ron and Hermione went to sleep, so it was only me and Harry sitting on the red couch, infront of

the fire. He laughed.

"You don't have to be here, you know? I won't be dead when you wake up!"

I smiled, then said ironically. "But that's the job of a bodyguard!"

We both laughed than Harry said, in a serious tone.

"Are you alright?" He looked with his great eyes into mine, it was feeling like he was looking right into my soul.

"Why wouldn't I be? You don't have to worry about Damon, he does a lot of stupid things, that's nothing new!"

"You seemed to be angry at him today, do you want to talk about it?"

I snoffed. "I really don't know if you want to hear this. You know, my life's all messed up." I slowly shook my head and looked to the ground.

"Trust me, it can't be more messed up than my life already is. And if you talk about it, you will probably feel better." He waited for me to say something and I had the feeling,

that I could trust him. He was on my side, and nothing was going to change that!

"Alright, but you wished for it. You know about Elena right?" He nodded. "So, Damon and Stefan both are in love with her and want to protect her from Klaus. That leads

us to Damon being here, trying to get me to help them."

"Why do they want especially you to help them?"

I smiled. "I've been around for a very long time, so I know a lot about Klaus and the sacrifice. They hope I know a way to stop him, but the truth is, I don't. And even if I would,

Damon would be the last person, I would tell."

Harry raised his eyebrows. "But why did he think you were going to help him then?" I smiled sadly.

"He tried to fool me by pretending that he loved me, but then I dicovered his "master plan"."

Harry nodded. "Now I understand, why you were mad at him. You want to know something? When you two fighted today and screamed at each other it was rather fascinating!"

"What? How do you mean that?"

He laughed. "It was really weird, because you two are so alike, but yet, you can't really get along with each other." I looked at him closely.

"I guess we just went through a lot. Back in 1864 we loved each other so much, but after all this hate and pain, there aren't left any feelings for each other!"

Then there was a long silence, because none of us knew what to say, but then Harry changed the subject.

"You know, in a short time, there will be christmas vacation and we will all go to my godfather. Do you want to join us?"

I was actually surprised. There was someone who wanted me to spend time with him. I've missed that feeling so much.

"Really? I would love to. I mean, if it's ok for your godfather that I'm a vampire!"

Harry looked at me. "You know Katherine, you shouldn't listen to Damon or Stefan, you aren't a bad person or vampire."

I sighed. "You should've met me in 1490, when I was a human. You would've liked me."

Harry smiled slightly. "I like you now, just the way you are."

We moved closer to each other and kissed each other. It was a soft and lovely kiss, different from the kisses I got from Stefan or Damon. It was an enjoyable kiss, until I felt my

face change. I backed up a little and turned around.

"Katherine? Is everything ok?"

"Yes, everything's fine. Thanks for the great talk. It was a really beautiful evening. See you tomorrow."

Then I rushed up to my bedroom and went to sleep and there on my pillow, laid the moonstone. I shook my head.

Damon, Damon, Damon, how are you always doing this?

So, end of chapter 12! Wasn't that romantic? ;) So, next chapter we will finally get to see Stefan, Elena and Damon in Hogwarts! Make sure you write reviews and don't
