Delena fan 100% so this is uncharted territory which has been chosen by my rather tipsy cousin. I think I've stayed very true to the show with this. Enjoy!
Datherine
Love love love love love love
From the moment he saw her he feel completely in love.
He loved her silken hair.
He loved her free laugh.
He loved her dark eyes.
He loved her gentle smile.
He loved her olive skin.
He loved her beautiful name.
Katherine Pierce. Katarina Petrova.
You were everything I wanted
You were everything a girl could be
She was spellbinding; beautiful, fun and warm. She was a perfect angel and he wasn't surprised to see that his little brother worshiped her too. How could anyone not adore such an exquisite woman? Even his cold father welcomed her into their home, more so than he welcomed Damon to be sure.
Damon had always been a disappointment to his father. He'd left for war just to spite his father who was trying to force him into some kind of marriage so he might as least produce an heir. Much as his father hated him he would still pass on his estate to the eldest son, only because he could think of no good reason not to. It was obvious at dinner the night of his return that the oldest Salvatore had finally thought of a way to pass over his first born. If Stefan and Katherine were wed and produced a boy then that would be reason enough for Damon's birth right to be taken from him.
Damon had never wanted to take a wife. At times he had considered renouncing his claim to the family fortune in order to escape the pressure of having a son. It was not that he didn't like women, he did, a lot. He just preferred then in his bed at night and their own in the morning, commitment wasn't his style. But with Katherine, he wanted her in his bed every night and every morning. He wanted to marry her and a woman like that deserved the Salvatore mansion and property.
She was the kind of wife he desired as well as the kind he should have. He wanted a fun and fiery beauty and his family wanted a well-spoken sweet young maid who could provide a healthy young boy. Katherine fit everyone's expectations.
Then you left me broken hearted
Now you don't mean a thing to me
All I wanted was your love love love love love love
She spent three days with him; he delayed his return to fighting in order to stay with her longer. He knew that she loved him too; he had been home only two days before she allowed him into her bed and body. His plan was to propose to her at the founder's ball but she had surprised him by choosing Stefan to accompany her, claiming that he was the better dancer. He had managed to steal one dance with her but she had been distracted during and had quickly excused herself in order to converse with George Lockwood.
He had not understood what he had done to upset her but he was not willing to simply let his brother have her. He was sure now that he would never love another woman and any marriage he could be coerced into would be merely an obligatory farce.
He awaited her in her bedroom after escaping the mothers of young girls in society who hoped that their unremarkable daughters would catch his eye. As her escort Stefan had walked her to her chambers. Damon had shamelessly listened, hoping to learn what his inferior brother had done to steal her affections from him. Stefan had confessed his love for her, saying all the things that Damon had planned to tell her tonight before presenting her with his Mother's engagement ring.
When Katherine finally entered her room he stepped forward to offer her his heart but she made him leave. Somehow his baby brother had turned her head and stolen her; but she had let him. The sting of rejection had never been sharper.
Hate is a strong word but I really really really don't like you
Now that's it's over I don't even know what I liked about you
Brought you around and you just brought me down
Hate is a strong word but I really really really don't like you
I really don't like you
He prepared to return to the front line, if Katherine returned his brother's adoration then he did not wish to be present when they announced their engagement. He hated his younger brother for breaking his heart but he could feel nothing so bitter towards an angel like her. Even when he observed her playing with Stefan in the grounds the red mist that descended was focused entirely on his little brother.
His feelings for Katherine had changed, of course, she had hurt him viscously. He had fallen for her completely and had believed that she had reciprocated but clearly that had been a lie. He wanted to hate her, he had no patience for making polite conversations with those he hated but he was not able to control his feelings so easily. He disliked her now; it was the closest he could get to feeling what he wanted to towards her.
After everything he had offered her she had chosen Stefan over him, he really did not like her. But she begged him to return swiftly to her his heart warmed with a flicker of love.
Thought that everything was perfect
Isn't that how it's supposed to be
When she revealed her secret and let him take her blood he knew that she was simply trying not to break sweet Stefan's innocent heart. The founder's council were fools to believe that all vampires were cold and heartless. She was nothing even close to evil.
It was hard for him to lose her for so very long. They would have been together for over a century had it not been for Stefan's incredible stupidity. But he waited, of course he enjoyed ladies and whores but it was always his dear Katherine's face that he saw.
Unlike Stefan he had not forgotten how perfect she was when a modern child with her face appeared. He obviously had an interest in the girl; she was an exact copy of Katherine, apart from her sugary innocence. If it hadn't been for his certainty that he would soon be reunited then he would've have focused his all his attention on stealing her away from Stefan. Instead he planned on how to ruin his brother happiness in the future. After he had Katherine back and had killed that stupid blonde cheerleader he'd been getting information from.
Katherine had spent so long suffering as had he; it would all be perfect when he had her back in his arms.
Or so he had thought. She had never burned or starved. He spent all those years missing a woman who never bothered to return to him despite knowing that she had given him life after death. All his suffering was for nothing.
Thought you thought I was worth it
Now I think a little differently
All I wanted was your love love love love love love
He had believed that she had given him her blood because she wanted to spend eternity with him. It had all just been a game to her, she hadn't cared for him or for Stefan she cared for no-one but herself.
She wasn't worthy of the effort he had put into his attempt at rescuing her. He had stopped himself from killing that stupid little witch so many times but there was no point. Even if Emily had kept up her end of the bargain he would never had gotten what he wanted: Katherine Pierce's heart.
Hate is a strong word but I really really really don't like you
Now that it's over I don't even know what I liked about you
Brought you around and you just brought me down
Hate is a strong word but I really really really don't like you
He sank into a deep depression after that, he drank dry more young pretty girls than he could even remember. Like always every girl had that dark beautiful face but this time it was contorted in terror rather than pleasure. He finally saw the bitch for what she truly was: a manipulative, self-centred, selfish, spoilt bitch. She used him for food and entertainment. He died for her and she didn't even care to speak to him. She'd rather he believed her to be dead.
He wanted more than ever to hate her. But still… What would she have done if she knew everything he'd gone through to save her from the fate that Stefan and his father had inflicted on her? Would she have loved him as he had her? Perhaps if she'd known it would be different.
If it was Elena he had tried to save, things would have been very different.
Now that it's over you can't hurt me
Now that it's over you can't bring me down
It was still several months before he was finally over her. It still hurt that she loved Stefan rather than him and he still enjoyed the fact that Stefan had only loved her due to compulsion.
He would have taken her back if it wasn't for that. After everything she had done, if she loved him in return it didn't matter. But she felt nothing for him, no love or care. He was just a body to keep her sheets warm and sweat-drenched when Stefan was otherwise occupied.
Soon he realised that he didn't even want her in that way. He didn't want her at all. She was useful to put in the line of fire in Elena's place but were it not for the things she knew he would have happily drove a stake through her black heart.
All I wanted was your love love love love love
All he'd ever wanted was for her to love him. Even if he truly believed that she did now or did some day in the future he wouldn't throw it back in her face. He still didn't hate her that much. He probably never would.
Hate is a strong word but I really really really don't like you
Now that it's over I don't even know what I liked about you
Brought you around and you just brought me down
Hate is a strong word but I really really really don't like you
He didn't know why but he didn't hate her and he doubted he ever would. God knows he didn't love her but how could he ever hate the woman with Elena's face?
I really don't like you
I'm pretty sure that he has no feelings for Katherine anymore, and who can blame him after everything? So I will love Katherine forever but I will never ship Datherine.
