N: So there you go, for some reason I felt the need to write this chapter before the confrontation between Stefan and Damon with Elena. The next one is going to be the last one, enjoy!

Hate me!

"Stefan, good you're here. You can go check her house and Bonnie's, I'll go around town.

"Why are we looking for her, what happened?" Stefan asked, clearly confused.

Katherine smiled and got beside him.

"Well, Stefan…"

"Katherine, now it's not the time" Damon shouted.

"He needs to know …he will find out sooner or later, anyway."

"Find out what, what is she talking about Damon?" Stefan asked, glancing at his brother.

"Stefan…I…"

"Come on, Damon, out with it! It's little too late for regrets or principals, don't you think? Just tell it as it is, you slept with your brother's girlfriend…again…" Katherine said, carefully observing Stefan's reaction.

"No, no…that's not…" Stefan started.

"Not possible, yeah, I know. I think someone compelled her."

"And he decided to blame me for it, can you believe it?" Katherine asked and rolled her eyes.

"Actually, I do."

"Really, Stefan? Can you seriously tell me you weren't expecting this, that you never noticed the way she looks at him?"

Stefan took a few steps away from Katherine, approaching his brother.

"I thought you changed…how could you…you are my brother?"

"Stefan, I…I didn't know it was Elena, I thought it was her" he said, pointing towards Katherine, who gave him a surprised look.

"How on earth would you think that?"

"Because she pretended to be her…" Damon said, causing Katherine to raise an eyebrow, "…I didn't figure out until it was too late. When I told her I know it's her, she ran away."

"Why did you let her leave?"

"It's not like I could've forced her to stay or tie her to the bed…plus, I was in disadvantage, she was already dressed, and I…well, I wasn't. Before I had the chance to do that, she was already gone."

"Why did she run, what did you do to her?"

"I didn't bite her if that's what you think…"

"Then what did you do?"

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

"No…" Stefan answered and before Damon got the chance to say something else, he was gone.

"Did you really think she was me?" Katherine asked.

"I did, at first; she was acting like you…"

"Well, she kind of is me, Damon. She's a copy of me, when are you and your brother going to get it? The fire, the passion, the desire, they're all there. The only difference between her and me is that I go for what I want, no matter what and she doesn't."

"Because, unlike you, she possesses something called 'morals'."

"You call them 'morals' I call it being scared."

"Scared, scared of what?" he asked.

"Oh, come on, Damon, you're not exactly 'Mr. flawless'. You're this bad vampire that, unlike your brother, you embrace who you are…"

"So, you're saying she's afraid of me?"

"No, Damon, she's afraid of who you are. You hurt her friends, you killed people she cared about…she's afraid that, one day, she's going to do something to piss you off and you're going to go around killing people."

"I don't do that anymore…"

"Well, you should tell her that, not me…I don't care."

"Looks like you do, so what's the deal, Katherine? Even since I told you Elena has run away, you act like a concerned mother, why, why do you care?"

"Does it really matter?"

"Not really, just my curiosity I guess."

"You are not going to like it."

"When do I ever like something that comes out of your mouth?"

"Still upset that you didn't get you 'love declaration' from me?"

"I got over it!"

"Hmm, I don't believe you…after all you slept with me, despite everything."

"I didn't …"

"You thought she was me…I still don't know how you managed to make that mistake, but you did…"

Damon decided that she didn't need to explain himself to her. He knew, deep down he knew she wasn't her…don't ask him how, he just knew… Right now, all he wanted to do was find Elena, arguing with Katherine could wait.

"I'm going to go, look for her, if she comes here, don't let her leave!"

"Fine…" she mumbled.

ELENA'S HOUSE

"He's going to hate me, Caroline. Stefan's going to hate me…and Damon's going to hate me, the way he hates Katherine, and I can't even blame him, because I am just like her."

"No one is going to hate you, Elena…"

"How could he not? I cheated on his brother, broke his heart, I manipulated him and then I just ran away? He has to hate me, right?"

"No, he's not…he won't…he loves you too much to hate you."

"He doesn't love me; he loves the kind, selfless and perfect Elena, not me."

"Nope, he loves Elena Gilbert, just the way she is. It's Damon we're talking about after all; he's done too many bad things to judge you for yours."

"Elena…"

Stefan's voice made both girls jump from the bed. Caroline took a long look at Elena, she nodded and Caroline took off, leaving them alone.

N: So, this is it, hope you liked it, review and let me know!
