James' POV

"You will?" she asked with a smile as wide as the Chesire Cat.

"But you have to let Camille and Jo go" I reminded her.

She nodded and turned towards them "Go on then"

They ran straight to Logan and Kendall hugging the life out of them, I couldn't help but notice their tearstained cheeks. I could've stopped that.

Katherine came up to me and hugged me but I didn't return it.

"Where to first Jamie?" she asked.

"Well how about we stay here? So I can still be in the band?" I suggested.

She was thinking about it and I added "You'll get to see me at work...you don't have to leave my side"

Her smile grew wider...if that was even possible and nodded "Fine, but when this 'band' thing blows over I say we go to Paris"

I smiled for her sake and agreed "Yeah, Paris sounds good"

"James!" Logan screeched. I tried to ignore the hurt that was hiding behind his screech. The band would only last another year...two if we were lucky, people would defiantly start to notice that we hadn't changed at all. And these last one or two years might be the last time I can be with the guys.

"I think that we should be getting back to the Palm Woods, it's getting late" I told everyone.

"With her?" Carlos asked in disgust.

Katherine pouted and I sighed "Yes, we made a deal...it has to be like this to keep everyone safe"

"I don't care about being safe or not, James you can't go through with this" Jo told me.

"I'm not one for safety but I agree with...her" Damon said, it was inevitable that he was going to forget Jo's name but I'm surprised that he forgot it so quick.

"Look, I know that you all probably hate my guts right now..." Katherine started to say.

"Not probably...defiantly" Logan interrupted her.

"All I'm saying is that I can change and I will" she stated.

"Really?" Stefan asked not believing her...but who would?

"Yes! Don't you trust me?" she asked.

"Not as far as we can throw you" Damon smirked and then whispered "And we can throw pretty far"

"I have an idea!" Carlos announced.

"Quick tell us before it dies of loneliness" Logan teased.

Carlos slapped him, which of course made Logan hit him back, before it turned into a full fight Kendall stopped them "Carlos just tell us your idea"

"Okay, how about we give Katherine a chance to 'change' but if she doesn't then she can't have James" he explained with a smile.

Katherine's POV

"That's unfair!" I protested.

"How?" Carlos challenged.

"We already made a deal" she told him.

"Don't think of this as another deal...think of it as a game" Carlos replied.

I can win this game...if it means that I can stay with James then I'm determined to win this.

I nodded and James asked "What are the rules?"

"How about mine? No rules remember?" I suggested secretly laughing on the inside.

They don't know what's about to hit them...if it's nice Katherine they want its nice Katherine they are going to get!

Stefan's POV

I wasn't sure about this idea. Surely they had realised by now that Katherine was devious...she gets what she wants and yet they offer to play a game with her. Also she has more chance of winning than James. Heck...she had more chance of winning anything than any of us.

"I don't think that this is a good idea" I advised.

"Why not, Stefan?" Katherine asked innocently.

"There is no way that we would be able to win and you are pretending to be innocent which means that you are hiding something" I explained.

"I'm not hiding anything...I just know how to play a game plus if I'm going to win then I guess I better get started" she defended.

I still wasn't sure whether I should trust her or not but she also added "While this game is going on it has no effect on our deal"

"What?" Damon asked.

"James is mine until I win or lose the game, and if I win I get to stay with him" she told him.

"Wait, why James?" Damon asked.

"What?"

"Just the other month...you were after Stefan. Declaring him as the love of your life, you said and I quote 'It's you Stefan, it's always been you'" Damon replied.

"I was angry about Stefan and Elena, since she is my doppelganger and I wasn't sure what I was thinking, since I love James"

"How long is this game going to take then?" James whined. I understand where he is coming from...he probably knows that Katherine is going to win too and just wants to spend the last time he has with his friends...with his friends! But if this game was going to happen then I am going to make sure that we win.

Game on Katherine, game on...

Kendall's POV

How could James do that? I'm thankful to him for saving Jo and Camille but I thought that he had a plan! One that didn't involve playing a game with Katherine. Katherine of all people! She is practically famous for her games and now we might actually lose James forever. I had made a mini plan after James agreed to her terms. All we had to do was follow him and Katherine and we would be able to be with each other but now...now that plan has gone out of the window.

The one way to save James is to do the impossible...play the game and win the game. Simple plan but hard work...but in the end it's all worth it.

She wants a game...we'll give her a game that she'll never forget

Logan's POV

Surely there must have been a different way! There is always another way but no we have played ourselves into a trap! Carlos suggested a game...at first it was a good idea but when she had that menacing smile I knew that we made the wrong decision. Of course a game was what she wanted. At the end of a game was a prize or trophy for the winner. Or in this case James.

He was stupid for agreeing with her but now we are in the middle of a game? To four and five year olds a game is fun...a way for entertainment but for the past 145 years a game has been our worst nightmare. It wasn't one of the ones where it doesn't matter about the winner and loser and you could always have a rematch...this was one where one wrong move could cost you everything. Someone you love always ends up getting hurt no matter what...unless you win.

Unless we win...

Carlos' POV

I mentally cursed when she accepted the game. I thought that she would decline the offer but now that I've put it out there it can't be taken back. If we...if I lose James then I'll never be able to forgive myself.

I can't let her ruin our lives anymore...I promise to myself and to everyone else I will make this stop!

Damon's POV

I can't lie. When Katherine first told Stefan that she loved him my heart shattered into a million tiny pieces and now when she tells James that it has always been him...my heart doesn't break I just get angry. She can't go around and choose who she wants and expect them to be with her. I personally am not going to let her get away with this. James should be with Kendall, Logan and Carlos. That is how it has always been and it shouldn't be changed. I know I'm not the person who usually cares, since that is mostly Stefan's job, but I don't want to see their friendship...their brotherhood get ripped apart because of Katherine. It was hard enough when she done it to me and Stefan. She causes pain and misery where ever she goes whether she intends it or not.

I figured that Stefan was a bit sceptical of the whole plan but he is sceptical about everything. Always having to rethink everything over and over again. I said it before and I'll say it now but when it comes to keeping Elena alive I'll be the one to do it. I'm more about action and quick thinking. If there is no time to plan then don't! By all means think ahead and figure out the next move but don't waste time sitting by a desk with paper and a pen writing down ideas and blueprints to form a ridiculous plan! It isn't worth it.

The best thing to do is figure out the weak point, or the chink in the armour. For Katherine her weakest point is her heart. She needs to be loved and feel loved. I'm sure that a stake would love to be driven right through her heart...and that is what is going to happen.

Kendall then spoke up "I say that the rules are; you have to be nice and make sure that you can commit to James. Also you can't follow him everywhere because that is freaky and stalkerish"

"Wait...if I have to be nice...so do you!" Katherine told us.

"No, no you don't understand, you are playing by our rules" I smirked.

"Nobody has answered my question!" James shouted.

"What was it?" I asked.

"How long is this 'game' going to take?" he asked...again.

"Lets' give her a month" Logan said.

"Why a month?" I asked.

"It's a long period of time...so longer for her to crack but not long enough to drive us crazy" he explained.

"So a month from today..." Kendall started to say but James interrupted.

"Actually it is past midnight now...so today is actually what you mean tomorrow"

"Fine a month from today is how long Katherine has to play by our rules" Kendall announced.

"Bring it" she challenged.

James' POV

I had no clue how about how this was going to work. I just wanted to go home and get some sleep. We still have work later and I can't handle Gustavo and Katherine without a decent amount of sleep.

"I'm going back to the apartment if anyone wants to come" I said.

"Why?" Carlos asked.

"It's late and if we are going to survive Gustavo then we need sleep" I shrugged.

"Oh right, I totally forget about Gustavo" Logan sighed.

I nodded and started walking, Katherine glued to my side. She hugged me from the side, got my arm and put it around her shoulders.

She smiled and I suggested "Should we run back to the apartment?"

"Why?" she asked.

"Alone time?"

She nodded and the truth was I just wanted to be away from her. These few moments where we would be running are the only few that I am going to get without her next to me.

I got back to the apartment in record time but was shocked when I saw Katherine right next to me...as if we hadn't even moved!

"Don't you think that it is unfair about the whole be 'nice' thing?" she pouted.

"No, I think that it is fair" I disagreed.

"James, I think that you are meant to be agreeing with me" she told me.

I resisted to let out my anger and just replied "No, as I told you before...I am not your object, I have my own voice and my own opinion that can be shared"

"No, I am right" she defended.

"Do you want to know why people don't like you?" I accidentally asked.

I thought that I only asked it in my head but I let it spill.

"Why?" she challenged.

Now that I've started I can't stop so I just let it out...not even realising that the others had walked in.

"Because you are an annoying, spoiled brat! You think that you can get everything you want and you think the world revolves around you! Well news flash for you Katherine, it DOESN'T! Everywhere you go you just cause pain and misery and I can't take that but I'm going to try for the people that I love and believe me...you are not one of them!" I shouted at her and stormed to my room.

Damon's POV

We walked in on Katherine and James having a fight. I was proud of James...he just let out his feelings and yet he done it in a nice way. If it was me, and I'm glad that it's not, then I would've spared no feelings. There is no point. To be honest I was hoping that Katherine would walk out of the door and leave our lives but she just stood there.

"Wow has Katherine lost already?" Kendall teased.

"I haven't lost, James and I just had a misunderstanding" she explained.

"Of course you did" I said then whispered "Just to let you know...we heard the whole conversation"

"He is just upset about me not being with him sooner, I'm sure that this is nothing" she shrugged.

"No, I think it' something" Logan told her.

"Stop trying to make me look like the bad guy..." she whined.

"In this case you are the bad guy" Stefan said.

"I'm going to go and talk to James" she sighed.

"That's not a good idea" Carlos warned.

"Why?" she asked frustrated.

"Calm down! When James is angry he needs time alone and is incapable of talking to anyone" Logan explained.

"I'll get him to talk to me" she told us and went towards his door.

Kendall, Logan and Carlos gave each other worried glances. I thought they were joking about James but obviously not.

Katherine's POV

I felt bad about my fight with James and even though Logan and Carlos warned me not to go in there I had to go and talk with him. My brave thoughts were stopped when I found his door locked. I could easily break it down but he needs his privacy...maybe that is what he was talking about! I haven't been giving him any privacy and that is why he got angry! All I need to do is be trusting and let him have space which will also put me ahead in the game!

I'm so going to win this...

Hope you liked it! Thank you to all of the reviews/favourites/alerts! I probably won't be updating for about 3 weeks...sorry going on holiday ): If the place has free wifi then I'll update (: hehe
