KATHERINE KEEPS GETTING THE SHORT END OF THE STICK...YOU GUYS THINK I SHOULD CUT HER SOME SLACK?
RANDOM WORD: DEMAGOGUERY
"Damon haven't you missed me?" Katherine pouted at her lukewarm welcome. "It's been so long."
"Whose fault is that you manipulative little..."
"Elena." Stefan cut in.
"But she's twisting Damon around. She's played with him for years and she's trying to win him back to her side by preying on how he feels for her."
"I know that Elena, but you can't intercede."
"Listen to your boyfriend girl." Katherine warned. "You'll be sorry if you don't."
"Don't you threaten my friends." Bonnie called across the clearing.
"Little witch, your Emily was twice the witch you are and she couldn't control me. Why do you think you could?" Katherine smirked at the group. "Besides, I don't recall addressing or inviting you all. I asked Damon to come and only Damon."
"He's our friend," Bonnie replied. "Where he goes, we go."
"Oh, is that right? Well, remember this, when you have all died and you are only shadows of memories he and I will still exist. You cannot compete with that."
Damon suddenly stepped forward. "Katherine," he swallowed deeply. "Why are you doing this? Leave now. Leave Mystic Falls forever."
"No," she raged. "You could be happy. Look at you! Surrounded by sycophants and loving it. Not me. I haven't forgotten who I am and I'm not leaving Mystic Falls until I get vengeance."
"I can't let you hurt these people." Even to his ears his voice sounded flat.
"You can't stop me." She turned on her heel and raced from the forest.
"Katherine!" Damon called after her, but only his echo responded. A warm hand slipped into his in comfort. He didn't pull away or acknowledge the presence for several minutes.
"Come on little witch. Let's see if we can't make you twice the witch Emily was." He wrapped his arm around her and they headed out of the forest with friends.
