I squeezed the palms of my hands into the temples of my head. I knew my hair was being crunched and rustled around but I didn't care. My head hurt like crazy and I thought I was going crazy. For the last ten minutes I had been having flashbacks. Not of my life but of Katherine's. I felt like a lifeless person while she took over. What was happening to me?
I bent down and splashed water on to my face, being careful not to smudge the layer of eyeliner on my upper lid.
She kept appearing in my head taunting me with the way she was all over Stefan. I didn't know what was happening. I grabbed a towel and dabbed my face.
I looked into the mirror and my eyes kept showing Katherine's face. She looked just like me but I knew it wasn't myself in the mirror. I shook my head even harder and squinted my eyes. When I looked again it was just myself in the mirror. I let out a sigh of relief.
I grabbed the bathroom door and went back out to the party.
I started to walk towards the crowd of overexcited teenagers when something grabbed my arm.
"Ahh." I whisper screamed.
I turned to see Stefan.
"Oh, oh my god you scared me." I said.
He smiled.
"I'm sorry." He said. "Look me and Dam-" he cut off mid sentence.
"Are you okay Elena?" he asked as my head spun.
"Yeah I'm-I'm fine." I said as I squinted my eyes. "Just a little tired." I wasn't going to admit to my boyfriend that I kept having visions of his ex vampire girlfriend in my body, controlling me.
"You were saying." I said trying to get the attention back on him and away from my pounding head.
"Damon and I just got rid of the vampire." He whispered.
"What did he want?" I asked.
Stefan hesitated at first but then continued.
"He was here for me and Damon." He said. "He was sent here to get us. He wouldn't tell us who sent him but we think it has something to do with Katherine's past." He explained.
"Where is Damon?" I asked looking around.
"He left."
I looked at Stefan questioningly.
"The vampire, uh Cedric was his name told us that Katherine died." He said. "Damon was a little shooken up about it."
"Are you okay?" I asked. Even though I was with him Katherine was a very important part of his life.
I exhaled slowly when he said she was dead. I guess I really was going crazy!
"Yes I'm fine." He said.
I nodded my head.
I looked over at Caroline she looked sad.
"Caroline seems sad, looks like she lost her new beau." I said.
Stefan smiled. "I don't think she will be sad for long." He said.
"Hey have you seen Jeremy?" I asked.
"No, why was he supposed to be here?" he asked.
"Well he told me he might come but I figured I would see him." I said.
"Well Ms. Gilbert would you like to dance to one last song?" He asked me."
"As a matter of fact Mr. Salvatore I would love to." I replied.
He grabbed my hand and led me onto the dance floor.
The DJ began to play a slow song that reminded me of a creepy song in a movie.
He twirled me around and we glided across the dance floor.
"You are quite the dancer." I told him with a smile. I tried to sound enthusiastic although I was feeling lightheaded and dizzy.
"Well I have had years of practice." He said with a chuckle.
"No arguing there." I said.
He twirled me once more until the music stopped.
The DJ started to blast a fast song as we exited the dance floor.
I grabbed my head with my hand and squeezed. I saw Katherine kissing Stephan in my head, but not like a dream I was her, my lips were the one's that touched his but Katherine was the one controlling them. Then just like the ten other times tonight I came back. I was me again.
"Stefan." I said. "I'm not feeling so well." I told him.
"Would you like to go?" he asked.
I nodded my head. I didn't know if I could take another image in my head. Especially here in front of people.
