Katherine was a woman that he once felt longing, love and desire for now the only things that Damon felt for her was bitterness and hatred. "What are you doing here Bitch?"

Katherine's hair was dripping wet from being in the rain for so long. "Now Damon is that any way to greet the woman that you love." She said pretending to look hurt.

"I don't love you anymore." Damon corrected her.

"Sure you don't." Katherine rolled her eyes.

Damon clenched his jaw. "How in the hell did you get out of the tomb that I locked you in?"

"What does that matter, I'm out now am I?" Katherine grinned coolly. "With nearly three years of me being trapped in that able tomb I have a lot of things to get caught up on."

"Why did you come here Katherine?" Damon snapped out the question.

Katherine blinked her eyes. "What kind of question is that? I came to see you."

"Well I surely don't want to see your ass." Damon told her.

"Is that the way that you talk to the woman you have been pining over for one hundred and forty five years?" Katherine mocked with a pout.

"You're going back where you came from." Damon told her.

Katherine shook her wet hair sending water spraying every where. "Don't be mistaken Damon I'm not going back in that tomb."

Damon took a threatening step towards her. "Oh yes you are."

Katherine held up a hand. "What's this I heard about you and the Bennett witch being together romantically?"

This stopped Damon in his tracks. "How do you know about that?"

"So it is true?" Katherine asked

Damon eyed Katherine with his icy blues. "Yes it's true I have no shame in admitting that I'm dating Bonnie."

Katherine looked displeased. "I can't believe you Damon, really are you that desperate?"

"There's no desperation in me being with Bonnie." Damon defended

"Sinking so low to get with a Witch and a Bennett one at that, Damon I'm so disappointed in you." Katherine told him

Damon shrugged a shoulder. "I really don't give a fuck what you think about my relationship with Bonnie."

"Relationship?" Katherine laughed

"Did I say something amusing?" Damon asked

Katherine smirked. "You say relationship like it means something."

"That's because it does." Damon said

"You're telling me that you feel something serious for the Bennett Witch?" Katherine asked

Damon nodded his head. "That's what I'm telling you."

Suddenly Katherine rushed at him as was right in front of him. She took a strong sniff of Damon. "I can smell her scent all over you."

Damon was now soaked from head to toe from standing in the rain. "Hmmm I like the idea of smelling like my witch."

Katherine took another sniff. "Her scent is all over you and in your pours. Her scent is ever in you, I can smell her blood running through her veins. Have you been drinking her blood Damon?"

"That's none of you damn business." Damon said with a roll of his eyes.

"You don't have to tell me, I can smell it." Katherine eyed him up and down. "You been drinking her blood and I know that the Bennett witch has been drinking yours to. Exchanging blood with a witch Damon again stinking so low."

"What's it to you Bitch and what I do in my relationship? It's none of your fucking business." Damon spat out patience running out.

Katherine shook her head. "Enough of this nonsense. Come with me."

Damon was caught off guard by what she said "What?"

"I said come with me." Katherine looked at him. "Run away with me and let's reunite in our love."

"You want us to be together?" Damon asked

Katherine touched a hand to his chest and let it drop. "Yes after chasing me for over one hundred years I'm rewarding you. I want to be with you Damon. Let's go and explore the world and hunt down humans together like we used to." She told him. "Let's me together vampire with vampire like how it's suppose to be. I know that deep down you still love me."

"I told you that I don't love you anymore." Damon said

Katherine laughed. "Like I'm going to believe that." She grabbed his hand. "Leave with me now and leave the Bennett witch alone."

Damon snatched his hand away. "I'm not going any where with you."

"Excuse me?" Katherine looked shocked. "You telling me that you won't go with me?"

"Are you ears filled with wax?" Damon's voice was full of sarcasm.

Katherine put her hands on her hips. "Now Damon don't be like that, I know that your pride is hurt for what I did but we need to work on it and get back together."

"This has nothing to do with my pride you whore." Damon said "Get it through your thick head that I don't want or love you anymore."

"So what are you saying?" Katherine asked

Damon looked at Katherine right in the eyes. "I'm saying that I love Bonnie and I'm not leaving her especially not with you."

Anger flashed into Katherine's eyes. "You're choosing to say with the Bennett witch over leaving with me?"

"You are smarter than you look." Damon smirked

Katherine took offense. "I made you into what you are, you would be nothing without me and yet your choosing her over me? That Bennett witch has you more whipped then Edward Cullen is over Bella."

Damon's smirk grew wider. "You mad Katherine, jealous."

Katherine glared at Damon. "How dare you pick her over me."

"Do you really want to know? Do you really want me to go over all of the reasons why Bonnie is better than you?" Damon asked "Because really to make that list would take all night. She's better than you in every way Katherine. Being with her is the best thing that has happened to me and for the record I love her way more than I ever loved you."

Seeing that he was telling the truth hurt mixed in with the anger that Katherine felt. "You're making a mistake."

"The only mistake I made was ever falling in love with you in the first place." Damon harshly told her. "Thankfully I have moved on."

Katherine felt rage and anger built up. She looked back towards the house. "Is the Bennett Witch in there? I would love to have a chat with her about her relationship with you."

The smirk was removed from Damon's face. "You say the hell away from Bonnie."

"I don't think so." Katherine let out a humorless chuckle. "If you insist on choosing her over me than I guess I'll have to do something about that."

Damon grabbed Katherine by the neck and choked tightly. "If you hurt her, I'll snap your fucking neck."

Katherine hissed and slapped his hand away. Then she grabbed him slamming into a near by tree. "Damon you keep forgetting that I'm stronger than you."

"Leave Bonnie alone." Damon warned

"I'm not going to do that." Katherine said. She grabbed a broken branch off of the ground and took a hold of Damon with the other hand. She Dragged him over to the front door of the house putting him in a sleeper like hold "You think that the Bennett witch will talk to me when she sees you in danger?"

Damon tried to move himself out of Katherine's grip but she was too strong. "Don't do this Katherine I'm the one your angry at."

Katherine smirked. "Too late for that." She rung the door bell and waited.

Bonnie opened the door less than a minute later. She froze with she saw Damon and the Elena look a like standing next to each other, she had Damon in a vise grip holding a branch in one hand.

"I knew you were in there." Katherine said to Bonnie.

Bonnie was shocked and horrified. "Katherine?"

"Yes it's me dear." Katherine said

Whatever shock Bonnie felt was replaced by anger at how she had Damon. "Let go of him." She warned.

"I have a better idea." Katherine gestured with the branch. "You come out here so that we can have a little chat."

Damon knew that Bonnie's best protection from Katherine was being inside of the house, where Katherine didn't have an invite. "No Bonnie say inside."

"I wouldn't listen to him if I were you." Katherine pressed the tip of the branch to Damon's chest near his heart. "Unless you want to see your lover killed and turned into ash."

Bonnie saw the look in Katherine's eyes and saw that she was serious. She didn't want to see Damon killed so she stepped out of the safety of her house. She focused her attention on Katherine's head trying her best to give her an aneurysm.

Katherine winced briefly in pain as her head throbbed. But she shook off of the pain grinning at Bonnie. "You've gotten stronger I'll give you that, but still not enough to take me down or defeat me."

"What do you want Katherine?" Bonnie asked

"I came here for Damon." Katherine let her know

Bonnie lifted her chin. "Well you can't have him so he's with me now."

"So I've heard." Katherine said

"Why are you out of the tomb?" Bonnie wanted to know.

Katherine held onto Damon keeping the branch against his chest. "That doesn't matter as I told Damon, I'm out now."

"Not for long." Bonnie said

Katherine sneered "Such a disgrace that he's with you."

"Nothing was a bigger disgrace than when he was with you Katherine." Bonnie retorted. "You treated him like shit."

"And you want me to believe that you love him Bennett witch?" Katherine asked

Bonnie looked Katherine in the eyes. "I am in love with Damon and I do love him. I love him more than you ever could, you stomped on his heart you psycho slut."

More rage entered into Katherine. "Too bad you won't be around to be with Damon."

Damon could tell that Katherine intended serious harm to Bonnie. "Get back inside." He yelled at Bonnie.

Katherine moved before Bonnie could she threw Damon back away from the house and Damon landed on the ground hard. Then she used her vampire speed and stabbed Damon in the lower torso with the branch. Damon yelled out in pain.

"Damon." Bonnie called out in concern and worry.

Katherine stood above Damon. "You're pathetic."

Bonnie stepped out towards Katherine and held out hair hand. She tossed Katherine back several feet and made her way towards Damon who was on the ground writing in pain as the branch stuck out of his torso.

Katherine moved quickly rushing at Bonnie and slamming her on the ground.

Bonnie gasped out the wind rushing out of her. She tried to get up but Katherine was quickly on top of her pinning her to the ground.

"Get off of me." Bonnie said loudly.

Katherine looked down at Bonnie feeling rage. "You stole Damon away, I'm going to make you pay for that."

Bonnie felt her back press against the wet ground, Katherine felt heavy on her despite not weighing much. "I didn't steal him from you."

"Yes you did. You think that I'm going to let him be with you Bennett witch? I'll kill you before I allow that to happen. After all that I have done for him he chooses you over me? He loves you more. How could he fall for something so weak? I was the one to give him life, but still he wants to be with you." Katherine ranted "I won't let that happen, you want live past this night."

Bonnie's heart thudded in her chest as she saw the look in Katherine's eyes. "Killing me won't stop him from loving me."

Katherine shrugged a shoulder. "He'll get over it." She flashed her fangs. "It's going to be fun draining you lifeless."

Bonnie struggled under Katherine's weight as she lowered her teeth towards Bonnie's neck.

Damon saw what was about to happen and had to think of something quickly to stall. "Katherine wait."

Katherine's fangs were inches away from Bonnie's neck. "No Damon you choose her and this is the result of that choice."

Damon pulled the branch out of his torso and got to his feet. "Don't do it Katherine I made a mistake."

Katherine lifted her head looking back at Damon. "What was that?"

Damon walked towards her. "I don't know what I was thinking, I was just trying to get back at you for hurting me."

"What are you saying?" Katherine narrowed her eyes.

Damon kept going seeing that he was distracting Katherine from trying to kill Bonnie. "I'm saying that I'm choosing you over the witch."

Katherine smirked down at Bonnie who looked hurt by Damon's words. "Keep going."

"I love you Katherine and you only." Damon lied getting closer. "Let's just run away together."

Bonnie felt hurt my Damon's words. The pain was like a dagger to her heart.

Katherine set Bonnie a smug look before standing up and facing Damon. "You really love me?"

"Yes I still do." Damon kept stalling. "I want to be with you."

"Prove it, prove your love to me Damon." Katherine stepped closer to him

"How?" Damon asked

Katherine gestured to the ground. "Kill the Bennett witch and I know that you really love me."

Damon glanced at Bonnie was sitting on the ground soaking wet from the rain. "Alright but I need to tell you something first."

"What's that?" Katherine asked stepping closer to Damon.

Damon wrapped an arm around Katherine. "When it comes between you and the witch…."

Katherine's eyes looked at Damon's lips. "Yes?" She purred

"It will always be Bonnie." Damon said coldly, he stabbed the wooden branch that she had hard into Katherine's chest.

Katherine's eyes widened in shock and pain. She stumbled back away from Damon hurt and shock in her expression. She fell to the ground hollering in pain.

Damon watched her as she rolled around on the ground. Feeling nothing as her body started to turn to ash in the rain.

"Damon how could you?" Katherine cried out before her body turned completely to ash and she was gone Katherine was dead and wasn't coming back this time.

Damon watched the ash flow away. "Because you were going to kill her."

Bonnie sat on the ground in complete shock not being able to believe what she just saw. Not had she thought that Damon would kill Katherine and yet he had for her.

Damon turned and saw Bonnie. He rushed next to her knelling in the ground. "Bonnie are you hurt?" He asked concerned for her

Bonnie knew that he was talking about physically she shook her head tears welling up in her eyes as everything that just had happened came down upon her.

"I'm so sorry that you just had to go through that/" Damon told her cupping her face in his hands with emotion in his eyes. "I didn't mean what I said to Katherine about wanting her over you that was I lie that I used to stall her understand?"

Bonnie saw that he was telling the truth, he had only said that he wanted Katherine to prevent Katherine from killing her. She felt relieve in her heart because for a few short moments she feared that Damon really was going to leave her for Katherine. "I understand."

"I love you so much Bonnie I would do anything to keep you safe." Damon told her.

"Is she…" Bonnie paused as the rain kept on drenching them both. "Is she really dead."

Damon nodded his head. "She's gone and is not coming back."

Bonnie's bottomed lip trembled as the tears spilled from her eyes mixing in with the water on the face. "Damon."

"It's alright." Damon wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. He could feel her body shiver and knew that she had been out in the cold rain for a while. "Let's get you inside."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Inside of the house they got out of their wet clothes, dried off and changed into some warm and dry clothes. Bonnie was now sitting down in front of the fire place with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and Orion laying at her feet. Damon came in holding a warm mug of tea in one hand and a glass of bourbon in the other. He handed the mug of tea to Bonnie and kept the bourbon for himself and sat down next to her.

"Thank you/" Bonnie said bringing the mug of tea to her lips for a sip.

Damon drunk some of his bourbon. "You're welcome."

For a while they just said nothing the confrontation with Katherine running fresh in their mind. After a moment Bonnie spoke. "I'm sorry."

Damon shook his head. "Why are you apologizing, you did nothing wrong."

"About Katherine getting killed tonight." Bonnie explained

Damon furrowed his brows. "That's not your fault, I killed that bitch because she wanted to kill you."

"Exactly." Bonnie sighed. ""You had to kill her because of me and I know how much that you used to love her."

"Use to." Damon said "I don't anymore."

Bonnie looked over at him. "I know but you did have strong feelings for her and it can't be easy to be the one to end her life."

Damon shifted his gaze towards her. "It was an easy decision I had to protect you."

"You say that now." Bonnie frowned "I don't want you to regret killing her."

"I won't regret it." Damon assured.

Bonnie held the mug of tea in her hands "But you loved her Damon you did and as much as I hated her , I care about your feelings and I don't want to be the reason why you are heartbroken and hurting over Katherine's death doing it to protect me."

Damon understood what she was trying to tell him. He reached over with his free hand and ran his fingers over her cheek. "I won't get hurt and heartbroken over Katherine dying she brought it upon herself and I'm glad the whore is gone, You know what would hurt me?"

"What would Damon?" Bonnie asked him

"Losing you." Damon answered "I can handle losing Katherine, but if she had succeeded in killing you, than that would have broken my heart and left me in great emotional pain. I don't know how I would be able to go on in life in I ever lost you."

Bonnie was touched my his words. "I feel the same about you."

Damon looked into her gorgeous green eyes. "Do you not understand the depths of my feelings for you? When I said that I loved you more than any other I meant it, when I said that my love for you surpasses that of Katherine I meant it and proved it tonight."

"If I didn't understand I do now." Bonnie softly said

"I love you Bonnie so much." Damon told her.

"I love you too Damon." Bonnie rested her head on his shoulders and closed her eyes. "I love you too."
