Chapter XXIII

Elena POV

It was the day before the battle and I was at the Cullen house with Bonnie and Jeremy as we hung out with Alice, Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie before we would head down to La Push to my house to stay for the night and the duration of the battle.

Carlisle and Esme were cuddling on the love seat while Jasper, Emmett and Jeremy were playing video games as Alice, Bonnie, Rosalie and I were looking through magazines and talking about everything and anything.

Although I was having fun with the girls I would much rather be with Jacob right now considering the newborns were arriving tomorrow and anything could happen, but he was probably carrying Bella up to the camp site at this very moment.

As for the situation with Bella, did I trust her? No. Did I like her? No. But I was willing to make an effort for Jacob and it seemed so was she. But if that bitch kisses my boyfriend again, Edward won't be able to protect her, because I will fuck her up.

The girls and I were talking about Kim K's wedding dress when the door bell suddenly ran. "I'll get it." Esme said as she untangled herself from Carlisle and with a kiss to his cheek raced to the door. It was quite for a few seconds before we all looked up in alarm as Esme's infuriated voice filled the air.

"What are you doing here?" Elena made it clear that she didn't want to see you." Esme said with so much venom in her voice that I didn't think she was capable of. "Esme it's alright. Apparently they did think I was serious." I said calmly knowing she could hear me as I glanced at Jasper and Emmett as they smiled excitedly.

Soon enough Esme appeared in the living room with not two but five people I really didn't want to see, Katherine, Damon, Stefan, John and Isobel. "What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded angrily not even bothering to contain the rage I was feeling at the moment.

"Elena! That is no way to talk to your parents." Isobel said in mock reprimand with a smug smile on her face that really just made me want to hit her as Esme and Carlisle growled as they realized who was before them.

"You two are NOT my parents. That is a title that has to be earned." I hissed back at her angrily and smirked as that annoying smug look fell of her face. "Elena this is ridiculous. Come home." John cut in and I glared at him.

"I am home." I retorted. "No Elena! You're not." Damon protested. "You're not home. You're home is in Mystic Falls, with your boyfriend. With me." Stefan said as he moved forward only shrink back in fear as the Cullens growled at him.

"You're right, Stefan…I do belong with my boyfriend and newsflash Stefan, you're not him. He's here and that's where I am staying…Are we seriously having this conversation again? I think I made myself pretty clear, I don't want you, either of you." I hissed and I saw hurt pass through his and Damon's eyes but honestly I couldn't find myself to care.

"Found yourself a new boy toy, Elena? Not another of my exes I hope." Katherine's voice cut in as I directed my attention to her. "No. He doesn't like whores." I shot back and smirked as she glared at me.

"What are you doing here, Katherine? Come to try and kill me again?" I hissed and I saw my 'brothers' and 'sisters' advance closer towards her and I had a feeling there was no way in hell that she was leaving her alive.

"No. But if Stefan and Damon don't come to their senses and come back to me…I might." Katherine said with a malicious smile that I assumed was to make me afraid but in honest it just made the next words out of my mouth all the much sweeter.

"Well I don't see that happening any time soon…especially if you're dead." I said and Rosalie immediately lunged and wrapped her hand around Katherine's throat as she pinned her against the wall.

"No!" Isobel protested as she moved to help Katherine, which only made me hate her even more, I mean she said she was gonna kill me, some mother she is, before Esme raced over and pinned her to wall with her hand wrapped tightly around her throat.

"I don't think so." Esme hissed as Emmett turned over the coffee table and ripped off one of the legs before moving towards Katherine. "Do you want to do the honors, sissy?" Emmett asked as he stopped in front of where Rosalie held Katherine.

"Nope go ahead." I said before suddenly Stefan dashed across the room and had his arm wrapped his arm around my throat. "Let Katherine go." Stefan ordered and Damon looked at him incredulously.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asked with disbelief clear in his voice. "That's what I'd like to know." I said as I tried to get him off of me, a futile attempt but I tried none the less, but Stefan only held to tighter causing me to wince in pain. "I'm not gonna let them kill Katherine." Stefan protested.

"Jasper." I croaked before I suddenly found myself on the floor gasping for air. "Elena, are you alright?" Jeremy asked as he came to my side before helping me to my feet. "I'm fine." I said as my breathing regulated and I turned my gaze to a now retrained Stefan and glared at him.

"You don't want them to kill Katherine! Seriously? After all she's done…YOU KNOW WHAT IF YOU LOVE HER SO MUCH WHY DON'T YOU DIE WITH HER." I yelled before I marched over to Emmett and took the makeshift stake from him and ramming it into Katherine's cold heart.

"No!" Stefan yelled and I smiled as Katherine's skin turned ashen grey and Rosalie released her and she feel to floor truly dead for the first time in 500 years. "Bye, bye bitch.' Rosalie said as she smiled at Katherine's corpse, before wrapping her arm around my shoulder before we turned our attention back to the younger Salvatore.

"Do you want to be the one?" Jasper asked as he kept Stefan in a choke hold. "No. Let Damon decide what's going to happen to him." I said as I looked to the elder Salvatore. Although I wanted Stefan to die for wanting to protect Katherine if even it meant hurting me, he was all that Damon had left and I didn't want to be the one who took him away from him.

"We're leaving, all of us. Now!" Damon ordered coldly before Esme and Jasper looked to me and I nodded in agreement before they released the lesser vampires and they immediately raced towards the door. "Elena…" John began before I cut him off. "That means you too. Leave." I said calmly before I turned my back to them and headed out to the back porch.

I was alone for a few minutes before Emmett and Jasper came out carrying Katherine's body before they disappeared into the forest no doubt to bury it or burn it, which ever and I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder.

I instantly turned around to see Bonnie and Jeremy standing there smiling at me timidly. "Come on. Let's get going. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." Bonnie said as I nodded in agreement before saying goodbye and good luck to the Cullens and we drove in my Audi to La Push.

Damon POV

I cannot believe this son of a….NO! I am not calling my mother a bitch, but I can't believe this bastard. The Cullens were going to kill Katherine, something we couldn't do because she was older and stronger and he tried to save her. What the hell?

"I can't believe Elena killed Katherine." Stefan whined as we four entered our hotel room. Hell, I couldn't believe it either, but I can't say I wouldn't pay some serious money to see that shit again. Who knew Elena had it in her?

"I can't believe you tried to save her…by threatening Elena no less. Way to prove your love St. Stefan." I snapped angrily and he glared at me but I just stared back unaffected. "I love Elena." Stefan growled and the rest of us just stared laughing, even John.

"Protecting the woman, who threatened to kill her and almost got very close to doing so once. Well you sure have an odd way of proving it." Isobel interjected and I smirked at her droll remarks. I admit, Isobel may be a bitch, but she is a fun bitch.

"I do. And what about you? You tried to protect Katherine too, what's your excuse?" Stefan accused angrily as he glared at Isobel. "I don't need an excuse. I'm already a disappointment to Elena and I'm not trying to convince her otherwise." Isobel replied nonchalantly as she moved towards the door.

"Where are you going?" John asked as she opened the door and she turned back to look at us. "I'm leaving. I came here for Katherine and she's dead. There is no reason for me to be here…besides even if I did care, Elena obviously doesn't want me here. Now she can never say I never did anything for her." Isobel said before she turned and left, closing the door the behind her and the question in our minds remained. What do we do now?

Elena POV

The next the day the anxiety I felt as we waited for the battle to be over was none like anything I ever felt. The newborns had no doubt already arrived and pack and the Cullens were out risking their lives as their loves ones hoped and prayed that they would come home safely.

It was near sunset when suddenly I felt a large pain in my chest and a scream escape my throat. There were no words to even describe what I was feeling but I knew the cause. "Elena, what's wrong?" Jeremy asked as he immediately came to my side with Bonnie following closely behind. "Jacob! Something is wrong with Jacob."

CLIFFHANGER!

What will happen next? Is Jacob alright? And what will Damon, Stefan and John do next? Will they ever leave Elena alone?

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I will try to update as soon as possible.
