"Ahh, please!" A scream suddenly echoed through the house. Which easily woke up Katherine from her light half-sleep. She darted into the room on the opposite side of the wing to check on Elena.
Elena was thrashing around wildly in the bed. Tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks. Katherine pinned Elena down, to get her to focus on Katherine. Elena stopped and looked at Katherine.
She softened her composure and stared up at Katherine. "Oh Katherine," Elena sobbed. She rolled herself close to Katherine, seeking solace from her. Which Katherine easily provided for her.
Katherine hugged Elena close to her. "Shh, it'll be ok eventually Elena," Katherine whispered. Elena whimpered and cowered into Katherine more. Katherine loathed Klaus for the rest of her eternal existence. She swore on her parents and her own daughter's grave that she would.
She surprised herself with her own thoughts. She never once thought of her parents and own daughter into her mind. That must mean something deep; something Katherine didn't want to dig into right now.
"I'm so thirsty," Elena rasped out lowly to no one in particular. "Stay here. I'll be right back," Katherine said moving out from under Elena. Elena took a deep uneven breath and just nodded absently.
Katherine left hesitantly. Scared to leave Elena on her own. Katherine went down to the basement and stopped when she heard a shatter. She darted up with the blood bag and saw Elena.
She was blurring around the room smashing everything. Katherine set the blood bag down and easily stopped Elena. Elena stopped, her teeth were gnashed together threateningly.
"You! You did all of this!" Elena screamed, having strength to pin Katherine to the wall then. "I could have had a life! I could've lived happily ever with Stefan and everyone, but now nothing," Elena's voice cracked as sobs racked through her fragile body.
Katherine easily look unfazed. Though the accusation did secretly cut her deep. But she would never admit that to Elena.
Katherine put her emotionless mask up, and flashed her fangs dominantly towards Elena. That caused Elena to snap out of her daze. Her heart clenched and she fell to the ground clutching her chest.
Katherine quickly grabbed the blood bag and opened it for Elena. She had to practically feed it to the weak girl. Elena gulped it down greedily, needing her strength.
Elena seemed to be back to normal now with the way she looked up at Elena. "By the end of tonight is the final call," Elena said gravely. Katherine raised a questioning eyebrow.
Elena jolted and clutched her head, letting out a blood curdling scream. "He's in my head! He says if you don't say it, then I'm going to die. You have to mean it also," Elena sobbed out.
Katherine gulped. "He's working with some-" a scream replaced the words she was ready to say. "Make it stop please! Make it stop!" Elena screamed to no one. The combined pain with the werewolf bite and the torture Klaus' witch was giving her. It made Elena want to die, just to end her misery.
She convulsed and shivered uncontrollably as he spoke to her. "You will not tell her anymore than that," he ordered hypnotically.
"Elena. Tell me what he is saying?" Katherine commanded gently. Elena looked up at her. "I can't," she rasped out helplessly.
Through the rest of the day, Katherine easily took all of Elena's bipolar-like blows. She stayed with her every second, not leaving her out of her sight at all. Though Elena seemed slightly annoyed by it, she knew Katherine meant good.
All Katherine was doing was saving Elena and cleaning up the mess that she created.
"He said at midnight," Elena informed lightly. That was good. It was now 11:30 pm. Elena laid against Katherine as she clutched Elena close to her chest. "Can you tell me about your human life?" Elena asked. "Of course," Katherine couldn't refuse her.
"I was 1475 in Sofia, Bulgaria. I was Katerina Charlotte Petrova. Ironic enough it just seemed to be an innocent name to my parents. They never gave it no thought to doppelganger, supernatural stuff," Katherine said, with a slight bitter chuckle.
Elena couldn't help but chuckle slightly back.
"I was considered the perfect daughter to my mom. She loved me so much no matter what. My father was angry and grumpy all the time," Katherine said vaguely remembering her parents. It had been so long ago, Katherine had eventually chose to not ever think about them.
"Then when I was 15 I bore a daughter out of wedlock," Katherine said bitterly. That entirely wasn't her fault, well…. "I remember the rest."
"Did you really love both Stefan and Damon?" Elena asked lowly, after a moment of silence between them. "I did," Katherine admitted. "Do you still?" Elena pressed on.
"Not sure. When I came back I did have some feelings for them both. But now they've completely evaporated," Katherine said. Elena turned over to face Katherine and snuggled into her, like it was her teddy bear.
"I love you Katherine, I hope you know that," Elena murmured sleepily. Katherine peeked over at the time. She so badly wanted to say it back right this moment. But Katherine being Katherine wanted to wait until exactly midnight.
To make a show about it, knowing Klaus was somehow watching over them. Katherine leant down and pressed her lips softly against the crown of Elena's head.
"Not yet baby," she murmured endearingly.
Elena had a small contempt smile across her pale sweaty features. Elena knew this was going to happen, since she remembered that drama with both Rose and Damon when they got bitten.
The grandfather clock chimed Midnight. Katherine slowly turned Elena over so she was on her back facing Katherine. "I love you Elena and I would do anything for you," Katherine whispered as her lips ghosted across Elena's.
Elena used her weakening strength to participate in the kiss. Their lips met happily and in slow adoration. They pulled back and Katherine stared down at Elena.
"Get the vial," Elena said lowly. "He says we've won the challenge he threw at us. He'll leave us alone for now," Elena said. Katherine felt excitement. She quickly got the vial, and opened the cork.
"Open up," Katherine advised teasingly. Elena opened her mouth weakly and Katherine was able to get a good amount of his blood into her system. Enough to heal the bite and save her from death.
It took Elena a while to gain back her strength. Katherine happily lied there with Elena. They now laid next to eachother staring up at the ceiling. "What do we do now?" Elena asked stupidly, her voice sounding normal once again.
"I don't know. Life as a couple maybe?" Katherine was just as lost as Elena was. She had been with other woman throughout her immortality. But it was never serious, none of it was ever serious for Katherine. Until now at least.
"We could try this relationship thing, you know," Elena suggested casually. "I would like that," Katherine's hand came down to intertwine with Elena's and they laid their comfortably together in between the two girls.
Elena stared down at their hands and smiled fondly. "So would I," she whispered back lowly.
