This may be a mistake I thought, as Stefan's expression changed roughly. Asking her to dance clearly made him angry.

I smiled.

He nodded his head and gave me the death look. To bad I was already dead!

Elena smiled and put her hand in mine. It felt…good.

"Enjoying the night?" she asked me.

"Mmm, well costume nights are not really my thing, I'm more of a karaoke person." I said.

She smiled and looked away.

God the resemblance between her and Katherine was unbelievable. The more I looked at her the more she reminded me of her. Her eyes were different though. Katherine's eyes always held that spark of intensity and they showed how sneaky she was. Elena's eyes were warm and inviting. God why am I doing this? I'm just hurting myself.

I squinted my eyes.

"Why do you let her get to you?" she asked me.

"Let who get to me?"

"Katherine." she said as clear as day. She was really asking me this question.

"What do you mean let her get to me?" I said raising my eyebrows.

"I can tell it bothers you that she was with Stefan too." She said.

The words struck me like a dagger to my unbeating heart.

"It's not the fact that she was with him, it's the fact that she changed him too. It was just supposed to be me." I couldn't believe I was telling her this. I had never told anyone.

"Shouldn't you just move on from her?" She said.

"It's harder than that." I told her. "Katherine was different, she would push you away, but really just wanted you to run after her. She was like the toy you couldn't have but wanted." I explained.

Elena huffed.

"So she played hard to get?" She asked as I spun her around.

"You could call it that." I said.

"So what's with bad ass brother image?" she said.

How dare she question my…my attitude.

"Oh it's 100 % me." I informed her.

"Damit Damon, I know you are not really like this, you have a heart and somewhere deep down inside you love Stefan and you would not let anything hurt him. I know that you loved her but she hurt you and you can't keep looking for her. It will just hurt you even worse in the end." She said.

I had never seen her be stubborn and stand her ground. I liked it!

"Look Elena it is more complicated than you know." I told her.

She rolled her eyes and I felt myself smile.

We danced till the end of the song and then I had to go figure out what was with the mysterious vampire.
