Chapter 2

Katherine's Revenge

The boarding house was quiet, maybe they were asleep, maybe not. Maybe they were out, maybe not. I thought to myself, "Maybe I should impersonate Elena again. I should get some of her clothes."

Before I new what I was doing, I was at Elena's house. "God I'm fast." I said. I walked in the house by breaking the door open. I walked up the stairs to Elena's room. I opened her closet and found a nice violet top, black skinny jeans, ankle black boots, and a black jacket. I decided to take the most uncommon Elena outfits. I could hear something, snoring. Then I found her, sound asleep in her bed. I ripped the necklace off her. She awoke.

"KATHERINE!" she said.

"Shhhh." I hushed her. "You will go in the tomb and pretend to be Katherine." I said.

Elena repeated after me.

"You will put this dress on and let me live here as you." I said. She repeated after me again. "First you will take the vervain out of your necklace which is my necklace and you will put the stone in my necklace in it."

Elena nodded.

"You will wear this duplicate necklace of my necklace on." I said. Elena nodded. "Go do it all now."

Before I knew it, Elena gave me her necklace, and put on my dress. I took her to the tomb, and I covered her face with dirt so she would look like I used to.

"Good. You will not move from this tomb." Elena repeated after me.

I ran out of the tomb and to the boarding house. Elena's clothes were not my style. I was disgusted, but if I wanted to be with Stefan I had to do this.

I knocked on the door. I waited and then Damon answered the door.

"Hello, Elena." he said flirtatiously.

"Damon, hi. How are you?" I asked.

"Elena Gilbert is asking how I, Damon Salvatore am doing! That's an improvement." he laughed.

"Hmm, do you know where Stefan is?" I asked.

"Stefan… Hmm, if you mean your boyfriend, the brother that I'm absolutely jealous of, then yes." he said.

"Where is he then?" I asked.

"In his bedroom. Sleeping, like you should be doing at 7 in the morning on the weekend." he said.

"Thanks Damon." I said. I walked up to Stefan's room. I could sense Damon looking at me upset. I walked back.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"We don't have to tell Stefan, I know that you love me, I know that! OK? So make sure you're lips are sealed." I said. Damon looked very confused.

I leaned in and our lips touched. His lips were warm and I actually felt a sweet sensation through my whole body. I put my right hand on the back of his head and played with his hair, which by the way was soft. He put both his hands on my cheeks. For a vampire his hands were pretty warm. He opened his mouth hoping that he would say something to stop me from kissing him, but deep down even though he knew it was wrong, he also knew in a weird way it was right.

He pulled away. "Elena," he said softly. "I love you, but I can't do this right now. I can't have you and Stefan break up over this, I won't tell I promise." he ran off out of the house.

I was just standing there, and for some reason a real smile came to my face. I hadn't smiled like that since I kissed Stefan for the first time.

"Oh no." I said. "I'm not, I can't be…" I stopped.

"In love with Damon?" a voice completed. I turned around to find not Damon, not Stefan, but Mariana.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Trying to help you. It would be a lot easier on you if you compelled the real Elena to think that she actually kissed Damon, then make sure Stefan finds out and breaks up with her, Elena can be with Damon, and you can be with Stefan. That is if you are still in love with him of course."

"Of course I'm still in love with Stefan." I said. "At least I think so…"
