I watched her go, helplessly. Oh, don't get me wrong, I tried to go after her. But as soon as I stood, the shooting pain coming from where she kicked caused me to collapse in a pathetic heap. I was kind of surprised she was fleeing, instead of staying to confront Stefan. But I was a little glad she left...who knows what damage she could've done. Still...part of me realized that she could be standing by, watching everything that was about to happen.

"Elena? Say something, so I know your alright." I heard Stefan's voice moving closer and closer until finally, he was standing right in front of me, on one knee. He quickly took inventory of my injuries.

"Hey," I greeted, smiling weakly.

"Where is she? I heard her voice over the phone..." He trailed off, picking up my phone off the ground and turning it off quickly.

"She left when she heard you coming," I muttered.

"That doesn't sound like Katherine at all. She would've stayed and talked to me...She must be planning to do something." Suddenly, his head snapped up, and he stood very still, as if he were listening to something.

"What is it?" I whispered, so I didn't block out any of the noise. He frowned slightly.

"Katherine is still here...and she's talking to your brother? Something about getting him some blood...Elena...I think she turned your brother." He looked at me, as if waiting to see me jump up, all surprised. I didn't.

"She didn't. He killed himself...but not before drinking some of Anna's blood...I don't know how he got it. Anna is dead. But I intend on finding out..."

"She gave him the blood." I looked straight at Stefan when he said that.

"Wait, what?"

"She gave him the blood before she died because he wanted to be a vampire. Don't ask how I know, I just do," He looked at me, concern filling his eyes. I shook my head.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive." I growled. Yes, growled. I felt furious with Anna. Why would she do something like that? Of course, part of it was Damon's fault...though I'm not sure why. I only knew that from what Katherine told me.

"Well, well. Here's a sight I thought I'd never see. My big, bold sister, helpless and afraid." I heard a voice coming from the stairs. I looked up and saw Jeremy, fangs touching his bottom lip and his eyes dark. There was blood on his shirt, and I refused to think of why. He smirked. "Don't you just love the new me?" He asked, taking in my wide eyes when I saw his new look. Looking up at him, I realized something that absolutely shattered my heart. Gone was my precious little brother, and in left in replacement, was a much more cruel version. A vampiric version.

"Jeremy...why did you do this to yourself?" I asked him softly, sadly. Nothing I said could change anything...and I knew he was still furious at me. I wondered how he could hate me, knowing that I had only done what I had done for his own good. For his own, fragile heart, which would have assuredly broken otherwise. I couldn't bare to see him hurt that way. I loved him with everything I had. He was the only one there when my 'parents' had died...when everyone else thought that I should've outlived my sorrow. When everyone else thought that I was just looking for attention. And now, look at him.

"Because of everything, Elena. I've been in too much pain all this time, and it's been killing me. Not to mention my sister hurting me like this. Erasing my memory so I would forget the girl I loved and who Stefan killed." He said Stefan's name with obvious distaste. "I needed to be free of all this pain...and Damon told me this was the perfect way of doing it." Ahh, so now I knew how Damon was involved. Jeremy was moments away from killing himself...and Damon had just convinced to do it in a different way. And I really thought he had changed... "And he was right. I feel so much better now. So much more free, and so unstoppable. And thanks to my friend, Katherine here, I can learn the full extent of my newly developed powers." Katherine came up behind him and grinned evily at us. OMGsh, she was going to use him. Use him to get the things she wanted...and then, most likely, kill him. I couldn't let this happen. Jeremy didn't know how absolutely horrible Katherine is. I needed to tell him. Before it's too late.

"Jeremy..no, you don't know what your doing! What your dealing with. Katherine is-" I was cut off by Katherine who practically flew across the room and pushed Stefan aside to get to me. She lept ontop of me, shoving me hard on to the floor. I fought against her grip, but she pinned me down.

"Shut up, you stupid little girl. Or I could seriously hurt you. Wasn't what I did last time bad enough?" She grabbed my head and smashed it against the ground. I felt make teeth shake in it's roots, and I suddenly felt very dizy. I had a feeling this killer headache wasn't going to pass any time soon.

"What the hell are you doing?" I heard Jeremy's voice yell...but I also noticed he made no move to help me.

"Katherine, get your dirty little hands off my girl," I distantly heard Stefan growl. I didn't realize he was so far away from me. It sounded as if he were in another room. Suddenly, the weight that was Katherine was off of me, and I heard a crash. Oh, I was so gonna get blamed for that. My thoughts were wandering...and I was surprised I hadn't passed out yet. Suddenly, my vision went all weird and everything started to blend together. I guess I spoke too soon. I thought, just as everything went dark.

Sidenote: Okaaay, so what do you think? Was I better off without this chapter? When I started writing this, I figured this would be the final chapter. But now that I'm done it, I had this strange need to continue. Sooo, I shall update soon. Thanks again to my readers !
