Elena ~

Elena couldn't even answer Damon's simple question; What are you two fighting about? She wasn't even sure what they were fighting about. She was just annoyed with Katherine for calling her and demanding they buy her food.

"And we have a winner!" Katherine laughed and clapped her hands together.

She barely heard what Katherine had just said. She was too busy thinking about other things. Why did Katherine have a similar dream about Stefan on the same night that she did? There was no way she could have made up the details she described; pain, blood, and Stefan. The dream had felt so real, it was like she was there with him. Elena lost her train of thought when she heard someone shouting her name.

"Elena! Hello? Earth to Elena. Is anyone in there?" Katherine shouted, waving her hands back and forth in an annoying gesture.

Elena stared at her for a moment, feeling slightly confused. She looked over at Damon who was just standing there watching Katherine. He seemed upset about something, but she was too distracted to figure out what he was upset about.

"Yeah. What?" She replied shaking her head.

"Did you hear a word I said? I'm hungry." Katherine moaned, placing her hands over her stomach.

Elena rolled her eyes at Katherine. She had always been a bit dramatic about things. Katherine was the helpless human in a group of vampires. Elena knew how that felt and she could relate. She felt pity for Katherine, but that didn't excuse her annoying behavior earlier. Elena turned her head slightly, looking at Damon. He was still standing there, just staring. She wasn't sure if he was staring at Katherine, or just staring in general. Finally she saw him move to face her.

"Anything else we need from the store?" He asked, sounding annoyed. "Better tell me now or you'll be drinking blood bags, Katherine." He smirked, looking at Katherine.

Katherine rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. She was defiantly annoyed with Damon's sarcastic comment.

"Pizza, chips, and some sort of cookies." Katherine replied with confidence. "Oh, and tums."

He suddenly turned around, looking at me. I could swear I saw hurt in his eyes, but I wasn't going to bring it up right now. Especially not when Katherine was here, listening to our every word.

"Anything you need?" He smiled lightly.

"I think I'm good. Call me and let me know if you find anything." I replied, feeling slightly nervous about him going off on his own.

"I will. Are you staying here today?" He asked, sounding concerned.

"I might head out later, not sure yet." I replied lightly, not telling him the whole truth. "I'll have my phone on me if you need anything." I replied with a smile.

He kissed me on the cheek and headed out the door. I let out a deep breath that I didn't even realize I was holding. I ran my hands through my hair and turned around to face Katherine. She was standing there lazily, playing with her hair. I wasn't sure if this was a good idea but I didn't want to stay cooped up in the house all day, especially not with Katherine around.

"Come on Katherine, we're going on a road trip." I grabbed the keys and gestured towards the door.

She stopped playing with her hair and just stared at me for a moment. I wasn't sure if she was going to cooperate, and honestly, I didn't care. I would compel her if I had to. She placed the hand that had been tangled up in her hair firmly on her hip.

"Well, well, well. Little vampire is now a liar?" She replied, laughing slightly.

For a moment she almost looked scared. Was she scared of me? Of course she was, I did shove the cure down her throat. The thought of her being scared of me made me smile.

"I never said I wasn't going anywhere. Now that would be a lie." I replied harshly.

"I'll go with you. You've been holding me hostage here for days anyway." She replied, sounding confident in what she had just said.

"I wasn't going to give you a choice anyway." I replied, trying not to sound annoyed.

She quickly turned around, grabbing her purse. She scurried past me towards the door where she slipped on her abnormally high heels. For a second, she almost looked like her old self, the sassy vampire. She always had her hair curled to perfection, nose powered, and lips glossy. Even as a human, Katherine still attempted to keep up her old ways by dressing and acting the same. She may have tried, but I saw the differences. Her clothes weren't so skin-tight anymore and her lips were a nude color. She attempted to curl her hair, but it always ended up looking like a fluffy mess. I guess not having personal slaves to do your hair and shopping was really hard for Katherine.

"Could you be any slower?" I sighed and crossed my arms. "The whole human thing has really slowed you down." I let out another sigh.

She gave me a dirty look and rolled her eyes at me.

"You can't blame anyone but yourself." Katherine replied with a harsh tone.

I opened the door and started walking towards the car. She was right though, I was the one who had made her human. I put the keys in the ignition and drove off. I wasn't sure this was a good idea, but I wanted answers. I wanted to know what happened to Stefan and if he was ok.

Damon ~

Walking around the grocery store, he felt lost. It had been a while since Damon had been to the store to shop, and for food nonetheless. Actully, now that he thought of it, he had never been grocery shopping before. The thought made his lip curl up into a slight smile. He was so amused about this whole "grocery store" experience he wasn't watching where he was going and crashed into someone.

"Excuse me." He replied, sounding amused. "I wasn't watching where I was going."

The girl he had crashed into was very short, she must of only been five foot tall. He looked at her for a moment, looking her up and down. Her hair was a neon green, he had never seen a hair color so bright. She was pale and had the lightest brown eyes he had ever seen.

"It's ok." She smiled lightly. "Sometimes I get lost in thought too."

Her answer surprised him, he was caught up in the moment. Her voice was so soft and innocent, it was almost mesmerizing. After being caught up in the moment, he realized he had knocked some groceries out of her hand.

"Here let me help you pick those up." He replied with a slight smile.

He bent over to start picking up the items that had fallen on the ground but was stopped by a light touch that surprised him. She had placed her hand on his shoulder. He could feel her cold hand through his shirt. He stood up fully and looked down at her face. She looked very content with her bold move. She moved the hand that was resting on his shoulder up towards his face. She's brave - placing a hand upon a vampire. Damon suddenly felt his head being pulled closer towards her face. He couldn't help but stare into her eyes.

"You're drawn to me." She replied again, not breaking eye contact.

Drawn to her? What is she, crazy? I'm not drawn to her, I'm just. Not sure. Damon's thoughts were interrupted by another action that surprised him.

"Now take this, and don't ask me any questions." She whispered, placing a crumpled piece of paper in his hand.

It took him a moment to process what she had just placed in his hand. Paper? Damon broke eye contact with her and looked down at his hand, not sure what to think. He could only wonder.

"What's your name?" He stuttered, looking back up at her face.

She seemed shocked by his question. He could only hope she would answer.

"Qet- Qetsiy-." She stuttered, pausing for a moment. "Tessa, my name is Tessa." She replied, sounding confident in her new answer.

Qetsiyah, as in Silas's lost love? No way. There's no way I'm standing here talking to the famous Qetsiyah. Lost in thought, Damon barely heard what she said.

"Now I have a question for you. Do you know of your brother Stefan's whereabouts?" She asked curiously.

He wasn't sure how to answer the question. He had no idea where Stefan was and even if he did, he wasn't going to tell her. Why did she want to know? Damon's head was filling with questions he wasn't sure he should ask. She seemed like she wanted to ask all the questions.

"No, I don't. But I assume you do." He replied with a smirk, trying not to sound annoyed at the question.

"Good, I mean- ok. That's all I needed to know." She replied, placing her hand on the top of his head.

She shut her eyes and started chanting some unknown language. He would of taken her out right here, but he couldn't, especially not in the middle of a very crowded grocery store. Seconds later her was left standing there, alone. He was left alone with a head that was foggy and a note in his hand. A note he wasn't even sure he wanted to read.

I hope everyone is enjoying the story so far. I'm a little disappointed I haven't gotten very many reviews so far, considering the views I've gotten on the story. Thank you all for reading, and I hope you're enjoying it. This chapter was just a filler before the BIG chapter I'm currently working on. p.s. next chapter will be containing Stefan! (maybe Stelena) ;) x
