I look at her. In the face. I may as well have been looking in the mirror. It was basically all the same. The brown hair, small nose, brown eyes. It still doesn't even seem real that we're doppelgangers.
Katherine's arms are crossed and shes leaning to her left. All I could do was just look at her. I was waiting for her to talk first. Sure I have a lot to say to her, but I figured i'd wait to see what she had to say. "Elena. Your name now wants to make me puke. I've been so tired of you. Oh everyone help Elena she's so helpless." She gestured with her hands while she talked. Slowly taking steps closer to me. "What you have been through compares to nothing I have. What? Your parents died. Your aunt Jenna, your dad, Alaric, Jeremy once or twice, you once. Why you've basically lost everyone. You have no one." She was walking around me as she talks. Ending her sentence softly close to my ear. The whole room had gone to standing as she talked. Anger. That's what was rolling off of everyone. "Mind you I was the cost of at least half of those deaths." She stood behind me so that her head was leaning on my shoulder. We were both standing in the direction of Stefan and Damon. I have no idea why I'm not already saying anything. It's like my body is waiting for something. "Oh and hun just think you can your choice of either Salvator brother, just like I did. Of course there is always a wrong answer. Be careful, history could have a way of repeating it's self." Katherine chuckled a little while giving a wink to Stefan and Damon. Neither were amused. Frankly Damon was just ready to kill her then and there.
"Alright Katherine, that's enough you need to come with us." Stefan spoke so smoothly. The angels voice carrying you to your death. Katherine turned to look. "No I'm not done quiet yet." Her annoyance had kicked in. "I want to know from Elena how she plans to live her glorious doppelganger life. I mean she'll never have a moments peace. No once to talk to or love. She'll drive everyone away. Or maybe the rest of her friends will die to trying to protect poor precise Elena. I honestly I have idea what makes you so special but I would love to know." Katherine was getting angry. Sure she was going to die but not without some answers first. "Katherine I honestly owe you nothing. I won't tell you anything. Why should I? You cause nothing but pain and misery when your here." I was calm. I seemed to know how to handle the situation better than I thought. I knew she was going to die. She was cold, and heartless. There probably wasn't anything worth saving from her now. "You know Elena I didn't kill your parents, or your aunt or technically your dad. If I would've had the chance though I probably would have though. Them, the rest of everyone's families, pets anything. I would've done anything to make you miserable. So that I knew the poor, defenseless, perfect Elena wouldn't have a moment of happiness because you would know that I was the cause of it all." Katherine was angry and yelling. Though by the end of her spell I did something no one including me thought would happen.
The room went silent. The slight intake of breath from everyone. Stefan took a step forward but stopped. He had the look of confusion. This wasn't what we had planned. Damon was only slightly shocked. He only knew what he would have to deal with later. Tyler and Jeremy both just stayed neutral. Caroline ,Bonnie and Matt had horrified expressions, they didn't know what would make their friend do it.
One minute she was talking and yelling, then my body finally reacted to the situation. It happened all on it's own. Before I knew what was happened I had my left hand on her shoulder and my right hand was through her chest grabbing her heart. I just held it there. I'm not sure what my expression is but I feel nothing. My humanity switch was still on because I could think rationally but it was like my census working for me. Katherine looked down where my hand was in her chest and then looked but in my face. She had put her hand on my shoulders to steady her self up. She just gasped for breath. She didn't speak. I squeezed her heart just a little and she cringed, spitting up a little blood. All she had to do was look me in the eyes and laugh, that's all it took. I grabbed her heart and went the rest of the way through her body until my hand was through her back, in my hand was her heart. I held her close to me. "Good bye Katherine" I whispered in her dead ear. She went limp in my arms and I just held her there. I starred at the fireplace. I was frozen not feeling anything. It was over, finally over.
