Chapter 41: Katherine Released

Episode "The Dinner Party" from season two. According to my calculation that is the current timeline. As it happened in the show, Damon is planning a murder. Killing Elijah to be specific. Stefan has already informed Damon about the dagger and its secrets. Unlike in the show Damon knows from beforehand that he can't use the dagger on Elijah or it would kill him right away. In the show Damon found out about it in the last minute. All credit goes to me obviously. Damon also knows it this time that the dagger needs to stay inside Elijah or he would come back to life after a few minutes. However like it happened in the show, this time as well, Damon got Alaric to do the dirty work for him. I intuited it much. Damon was furious at John for playing him and trying to get him killed like that. But for Elena's sake, he didn't kill him right away. Elena still pushes Damon to be the better man. Stefan on the other hand was trying hard to change Elena's mind about sacrificing herself. I however went to the Grill to meet with Bonnie late in the morning without any worry about anything. Why should I worry? Everything was going according to my plan after all. At first I talked to her about random things because Jeremy obviously wasn't here for her this time. He is busy with Anna.

"It was a tough spell" said Bonnie while sighing out heavily. We were talking about her adventure in Luka's mind.

"I could feel it draining me. I need more practice." Bonnie said sighing out again.

"Bonnie you will be fine. Take it slow. You don't need to put pressure on yourself like this. Besides, you have got me now to help you with practicing spells." I said and Bonnie smiled at me thankfully and nodded her head in agreement. Right then I noticed Luka entering the Grill. I knew why he is here. Luka is going to confront Bonnie about what happened between them and also find out what she did to him. It seemed that only Dr. Jonas knew about what Bonnie did to Luka but Luka himself has no idea about it. Clearly Jonas didn't tell Luka anything. He must want to keep his son safe and away from my and Elijah's business as much as possible. And I appreciated it very much. Bonnie and Luka would have hit it well but since Luka's father is working for Elijah, they have no picture together at all. As I was expecting Luka came over to our table and hovered over Bonnie.

"I want you to tell me what the hell happened yesterday?" Luka demanded answer right away in strong tone of voice.

"Sorry?" Bonnie obviously tried to play dumb with him.

"Don't play dumb, one minute I was playing pool here and next minute I woke up in the bathroom stall. What the hell did you do to me?" asked Luka with accusatory tone. I glanced at Bonnie who looked unfazed at the accusations.

"I don't know what you are talking about Luka. We just played pool yesterday. Nothing else happened." Bonnie said while shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly.

"You see I think you are lying to me." Luka said threateningly. He wasn't a fool. And something told me that Luka isn't going to back off anytime soon. I took in a deep breath and looked at Luka with a serious face.

"Luka, leave Bonnie alone. Whatever happened, it's already done. You can't do anything about it now." I said with calm tone of voice. Luka stared at me for a moment then left without saying another word. Bonnie looked at me both suspicion and surprise.

"How did you do it? He just left without another word." Confusion dripped off Bonnie's voice. I shrugged my shoulders at her nonchalantly.

"I didn't do anything. Maybe he just got my point. There is nothing Luka can really do about what happened to him, now can he?" I said however Bonnie wasn't perfectly convinced but she had nothing to say either. Damon entered the Grill with Alaric and Andie. I knew why he is here as well. When do I not know everything? I certainly wasn't surprised to see Andie with them but somehow I didn't like the fact. Damon is getting information about Elijah's doings from Andie as she is kind of following Elijah around throughout the town. That's why she is in the team. But apparently Andie has the hots for Damon and I happen to not like that. Damon's eyes flickered to mine briefly and I tried hard to not to smile back at him and blush. I did the exact opposite. I looked away from Damon before Alaric would notice me starting at him. Unfortunately Bonnie noticed the eye contact as she was sitting right in front of me. Bonnie narrowed her eyes at me immediately.

"What's going on?" I frowned at Bonnie in utter confusion as she asked that.

"Nothing's going on, why do you ask?" I said and I tried to play cool and oblivion even though I knew Bonnie has noticed me looking at Damon rather with longing looks.

"Why did you look at Damon?" Bonnie asked straight away. Her eyes still suspicious. I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly before answering that question.

"Is it a crime now to look at him?" I asked instead. Bonnie remained silent for a moment before speaking up again.

"Jacq, what is going on between you and Damon?" Another direct attack from Bonnie Bennett. I scoffed at her with an disbelieving laugh.

"What? Are you crazy Bonnie? There is nothing going on between me and Damon." I said with strong tone of voice. I heard once that if you lie with confidence people will believe you. However Bonnie shook her head to herself, clearly not believing me or what I just said. Then again Bonnie is a witch after all. She must have different rules.

"Really Jacq? Really? You want me to believe that. Look I just want you to stay safe. Damon is dangerous and you know it. Just be careful" said Bonnie with concern in her voice. I nodded in understanding. Honestly speaking I appreciated her concern very much. I like that she cares about me. I never want that to change. And obviously she is right. I can't say that Damon would never hurt me because he could and would, maybe even intentionally if I dare cross his temper line. I sighed out heavily and glanced at Damon again. Even though he was concentrating on the conversation he was engaged in at the moment, I saw him looking at my way for once and just for a few seconds.

Bonnie had to go home therefore she left. I was getting ready to leave as well when Jenna entered the Grill with Elijah. The grace Elijah possessed. Only a man lived over a thousand years could move like that. The original glanced at me from the corner of his eyes and I couldn't help but smile at him. However lowered my face immediately so that no one else would notice it. Elijah and I were getting along just fine, behind everyone's back of course. We were kind of becoming close as friends. I respected him a lot and Elijah respects me as well. Mostly because of my bravery. Only he knows that once Klaus is out of our lives, I will be gone as well. I will die and be gone forever. But still I was willing to do everything to save the people I love. Not to mention Elijah will finally get his family back.

Elijah and Jenna made their way over to Damon, Andie and Alaric. From the exchange of behavior it seemed that Jenna was still giving Ric a hard time. Moreover she was making him jealous by spending more time with Elijah than necessary. Not to mention she is constantly complimenting the original. Jenna obviously knew it this time that Elijah is a vampire, an original vampire to be exact. She should be frightened of him but she wasn't. Probably because Jenna also knew that Elijah is the one who is keeping everyone safe in the town for the time being. Recently Jenna and I had a good laugh in private while talking about her ways of make Ric's life a living hell. I know I shouldn't enjoy the torment Alaric is suffering but Jenna is hilarious. I was about to walk out of the Grill when Caroline came running inside and we almost bumped into each other.

"Tyler bit me." Caroline blurted out before I could get a chance to ask her what happened.

"What?" I asked not getting what she just said to me.

"We were making out and then both of us got carried away and well he bit me." Caroline looked very tensed and scared. And when the realization hit me, I panicked as well.

"What? When? Where?" I asked and didn't even bother to take Caroline into the washroom first. I quickly removed her vest to reveal her neck where she pointed me that Tyler has bitten her.

"It happened last night." Caroline said and she kept rambling afterwards. "I wanted to tell you right away but I wanted to wait and see what happens first before coming to you. But nothing is happening. I am confused. Shouldn't it kill me right away or is it gonna start sometime later?" I checked the bite and sighed out in relief.

"It's okay Caroline. This bite is not gonna kill you." I assured Caroline because her skin looked perfectly fine even after so many hours. And if the bite had poisoned her blood, there would be symptoms already.

"It has just left you a nice hickey. That's all. Nothing to worry about." I said smirking this time. Caroline sighed out in relief at last.

"Thank god. That's a relief. I must inform Tyler. He is going through hell right now" saying that Caroline started dialing Tyler's number when Damon came over to us and moreover with an angry frown on his face.

"What the hell are you two talking about?" Damon asked, actually he demanded answer. Both Caroline and I looked at each other nervously because we suddenly realized that we have made a huge mistake unknowingly. Caroline even gulped down her nervousness seeing Damon's angry pissed off looking face.

"I am just gonna go, see you later Jacq" said Caroline and she escaped. I gaped at Caroline as she ran out of the Grill before Damon could stop her.

"Just great." I muttered under my breath. Traitor. Now I have to face Damon alone. Speaking of the devil, I mean Damon, he looked at me pointedly again and this time I gulped down my own fear. He grabbed my forearm and dragged me inside the washroom and locked the door behind us. He stared down at me with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I can explain." I started speaking. Damon narrowed his eyes at me dangerously, making me take a step back from him.

"Well, you see Damon, actually. Tyler is a werewolf. Um...he triggered the curse. And already turned for the first time in the previous full moon." I said and finally released the breath I was holding in. I couldn't even look at Damon at the moment because he looked damn scary. And he was hovering over me like a dangling sword.

"Why am I finding about this now?" Damon asked with an edge in his voice. He wanted explanation immediately about that. My eye brows shot up as I gave him the honest answer.

"Well isn't it obvious? You didn't know anything because we wanted to keep it a secret from you." I answered like a smart ass even though I was scared like hell at that time. Damon rolled his eyes angrily.

"Who else knows about this?" asked Damon trying not to loose control on himself.

"Just me and Caroline, and Tyler of course." I replied shortly.

"How much does he know about everything?" Damon asked staring right into my eyes and his own eyes were full of anger at the moment.

"A lot. Even that you tried to kill his Uncle." I replied biting my bottom lip out of nervousness. I was looking down at my feet because I didn't know where else to look. Damon was pacing aggressively in front of me. I gathered up my courage and finally looked up at Damon again. One look at his face and I knew what exactly he was thinking.

"What are you thinking?" I asked even though I had a guess.

"I am thinking who should I kill first Tyler or Elijah?" said Damon without any hesitation and I knew he was thinking just that. I breathed out a scoff hearing that.

"You are so predictable Damon. And whatever you are thinking concerning Tyler, it's not gonna happen." I said with nonchalant tone of voice but Damon looked at me with seriousness.

"Tyler is a werewolf and he knows too much. He needs to be killed" stated Damon as if that's the only solution to this problem, when it's not even a problem. I sighed out heavily at Damon's stubbornness.

"Please Damon, lets not do this again? You know I am not gonna let you hurt Tyler." I said strongly and felt the fear easing away that I was feeling a few moments ago.

"Then I will make sure, you won't come in between us when I am gonna kill him" said Damon with confident attitude. He was totally up for killing Tyler. I decided that I had enough of the drama. I crossed my arms over my chest because Damon was not kidding at all and dead serious about his intention so I shouldn't speak lightly as well. Why is it so hard for him to get it that werewolves are not enemies anymore? Especially Tyler. Something bigger is headed our way in the name of Klaus and we needed to stick together to fight him off.

"Really? And how you are gonna do that? How you are going to keep me away Damon?" I asked with a calm voice as if I was asking Damon about his day.

"Probably by locking you up in the boarding house cellar until Tyler Lockwood is dead" said Damon and I nodded my head knowing he would really do that if he wants to which he does.

"Fine Damon. Do whatever you wish. Just remember that the minute you are gonna kill Tyler, you are gonna lose me forever as well" saying that I prepared to leave the room but Damon grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him so suddenly that I crashed in his chest. I looked up into his eyes with determination and tried to pull away from him using all my strength. It made Damon grab onto my other arm as well and he stopped me from moving completely.

"Don't ever say that again. I will never let myself loose you, never." Damon said each word forcefully. I tried to yank my arms out of his grips.

"But if you hurt Tyler, you definitely will." I said to Damon in a low yet strong tone of voice. And Damon knew how much I meant what I said. He sighed out heavily at last.

"Fine, I won't kill your puppy friend. But if he does anything to endanger us or you in anyway, I will take him down with out a second thought" said Damon and I didn't expect anything more from him. Well I guess that will do the work for now. I nodded my head and sighed out a little to calm myself down.

"That's better I guess. But if you are lying to me about this and still planning on killing him, I swear you will lo-" I couldn't finish the sentence because Damon's lips crashed onto mine and he stopped me from talking further. Damon bit onto my bottom lip hard and drew blood from it. He licked the blood off with his tongue after sucking on it roughly. It seemed like Damon was punishing my lips for speaking such words. I pulled away and threw an angry glare at Damon but he glared back at me instead of being apologetic about it.

"Told you not to say that again" said Damon bluntly. I couldn't help but sigh out and shake my head to myself. There was no point arguing with Damon on that matter. But I refused to look at him again.

"I have to go." I said with a small voice. Indirectly I was telling him to leave me alone for the moment. Besides, I should go to see Tyler. Obviously his secret is out now and I have to inform him about that. Damon however didn't let me go. He kept his hands on me.

"I am going to see Katherine, wanna come with me?" Damon asked softly because by then he was regretting biting me like that which was quite obvious. But I was still looking away from him and refused to meet his eyes.

"Nope, I have somewhere else to go." I replied at once but Damon rolled his eyes at me.

"You are coming with me" saying that Damon dragged me out of the washroom. I hate it when he tries to push me around like a puppet. But I didn't create a scene at that moment because Jenna, Alaric, Andie and not to mention Elijah as well, they were all there and they were all looking at us while Damon dragged me out of the Grill. Before I knew it I was in his car with him and Damon was driving towards the tomb.

"Why are you taking me there?" I asked Damon with an angry tone of voice because obviously I was angry at him for acting like a barbarian animal earlier. Damon just shrugged his shoulders at me, completely unfazed by my anger.

"You are good company Jacq" said Damon with nonchalant tone of voice. I rolled my eyes to myself and went silent. I didn't want to talk to him or look at him at the moment. I knew why Damon was taking me with him. So that I wouldn't go to meet Caroline and Tyler. It was obvious that Damon still doesn't understand that he can't stop me from doing what I want to do. We reached the end of the road and Damon pulled over the car in the side. We have to walk from there through the woods to reach the tomb. Damon got a bottle of blood with him and clothes for Katherine in a bag. When we started walking, I was walking ahead of Damon, arms crossed and not saying a word to him. I felt his eyes on my back the entire time. At one point I heard him sighing out heavily.

"Okay, I am sorry. I got angry when you said that. Please stop pouting already" said Damon in an attempt to reset everything between us back to normal. The nerve of him. I thought that in my mind. I scoffed to myself and kept walking without saying a word to him. Damon must have rolled his eyes at me.

"I said I am sorry. Come on Jacq. I will do whatever you ask me to do to make it up to you" said Damon. A generous offer but I have nothing to ask from him, well maybe one thing.

"Fine, stay away from me." I said with bored tone of voice and with a shrug of my shoulders. But in a blink of an eye I was pressed up against a tree with Damon pressing his body into mine.

"Now, that I cannot do, can I?" said Damon. I struggled against his hold and tried to get away.

"Let go of me Damon." I said forcefully, glaring at him for manhandling me like this for the second time in the same day.

However Damon didn't let me go and stared down at me without moving a bit. I gave up on struggling after a while and calmed down in his grip. Our eyes locked after a few moments. I was looking at him with angry eyes and he was looking at me with cold hard stare. And before I knew it our lips were locked as well. I didn't know who made the move first but we were kissing. It was sort of an angry kiss and we both fought for dominance into it. Not to mention the intensity of the kiss. I had moaned when his tongue entered my mouth roughly and touched mine. Damon lift me off the ground and I wrapped my legs around his waist on my own and pulled him closer to me. I felt him against me through the layers of clothes. Damon was already hard for me. I noted in my mind, not to wear skirts anymore because it makes it easy for Damon to invade my personal places whenever he wants. I groaned in extreme pleasure that was so much intense that it almost hurt me as I felt Damon's hand touching me, running his fingers over me, and tugging at my underwear. I stiffed a bit too as his thumb rubbed my nerve mercilessly and I screamed his name with ecstasy. I felt like I will hit my climax right away. And I was wet like hell. I left his mouth to breath heavily and take in as much air as possible. My head was resting against the tree and my chest rose and fell unevenly. I couldn't find any will to open my eyes and see what Damon was doing to me for a while. But I heard him unbuckling his belt. I opened my eyes then.

"My two days aren't over yet." I said with a raspy tone of voice. I was completely out of breath.

"Yes but I need you right now." Damon spoke in his own out of air voice. He was panting heavily as well. Damon completely tore off my underwear and dropped it on the ground. I couldn't help but gasp at the sudden wildness of his. Damon entered me with a forceful thrust without any warning.

"Damon!" I screamed out his name and grabbed onto his shirt in tight grips for some support even though he was holding me well. I felt a little pain only first time but it was gone before I knew it. I didn't want him to tear off my shirt as well, so before Damon could ruin it, I unbuttoned my shirt myself and pulled him in for a hot kiss. Damon roamed one hand over my back as he kept thrusting in me at a fast pace. He unhooked the clip of my bra and let it come off my body. Damon pulled my lips away from his mouth and pinned my body against the tree more. He yanked away the piece of clothe from my chest completely and bared my breasts for him. He then took in one nipple in his mouth and started sucking on it hard. My breasts were so small in size, that his mouth covered the whole flesh. I moaned deeply and combed my fingers through his hair. I didn't know which one pleasured me more his mouth or his manhood. But at the moment I was going insane. Damon left one breast only to pay attention to the other one. He bit onto that one hard but not enough to draw blood.

"Damon!" I moaned out loud which encouraged him more and Damon increased his pace and sucked hard on my nipple. I felt my walls closing down from inside and heard him groan as well. His hand and mouth left my chest and Damon pulled my face down for a hard and rough kiss. Then his hand went inside my skirt again and he started rubbing my nerve, making me moan and groan at the same time in his kiss. I bit onto his bottom lip out of heat which made Damon smirk at me. One more thrust from Damon and I screamed out his name as I hit my orgasm hard. I collapsed in his arms, completely numb but Damon wasn't finished yet and he increased his pace more to reach his own orgasm. He has been going on for almost half an hour now without coming for once. And I was surprised at myself that I lasted that long with him as well. Finally I felt Damon releasing his seeds in my womb. Thankfully Damon is a vampire and I didn't need to worry about getting pregnant. Damon thrust into me for couple of times more before pulling out completely. He was holding onto the tree this time for supporting himself as he couldn't collapse on a bed. We both were breathing heavily, panting and our breaths were hitting with each other. When Damon caught his breath he kissed my lips again and then rested his forehead against mine.

"You are amazing." He said and I gulped down the spit stuck in my throat and unwrapped my legs from his waist slowly. I was still out of air and trying to catch my breath. I straightened my shirt and button it up again after wearing my bras. Damon properly put on his clothes as well. The fact that I wasn't wearing anything under my skirt at the moment made me very uncomfortable. I looked at my now useless panties with pity as it lay on the ground helplessly. Damon saw it too and noticed me looking at the piece of clothe sadly. It made him smirk evilly.

"I will suggest you to not wear any of those from now on" said Damon suggestively. I rolled my eyes at him but with a shy smile because I was already blushing like a ripe tomato.

"Why are we going to see Katherine?" I asked Damon trying to make the situation less uneasy for me.

"I need to confirm something from her. Let's go, shall we?" said Damon and I nodded my head vehemently. However, just as I tried to walk I felt horrible pain in between my legs. I kind of flinched as the pain shot through my body. Damn vampire on human sex. I am actually surprised that I am not broken in pieces yet. Damon noticed my flinch right away and looked at me with concern.

"Are you okay?" He asked and looked worriedly at me.

"Yeah, I am fine." I said and nodded my head vehemently to prove my point and started walking slowly, swallowing the pain. But Damon stopped me from walking right away.

"Hold this." Damon handed me the bags. I took it from him, not knowing why Damon was asking me to do that. Then he suddenly lifted me off the ground and started carrying me bridal style. I breathed out a giggle and couldn't help but smile at Damon and look at his face fondly. I kissed his cheek affectionately to which Damon just smiled.

"I love you Damon, have I ever said that before?" I said romantically. Damon smirked at that.

"Yes, but I don't mind hearing it again and again. Actually I want you to say it all the time" said Damon like a needy person. I shook my head while laughing lightly. When we reached the tomb, Damon put me down and made me sit on a huge rock. He entered the tomb while I stayed outside. However once Damon was inside, I walked inside too to listen to their conversation. Just like I expected Damon did ask Katherine how she is still very healthy and not like a rotting corpse. Katherine said that a few druggies came down in here and she was able to feed off them, not that long ago. After she was done, she compelled them to leave. Damon bought that without thinking much. Just like it happened in the show Katherine begged Damon not to kill Elijah and as expected, it determined Damon to kill Elijah even more. I got out of the tomb before Damon could see me. Once he came outside, I asked-

"What did she say?" I questioned Damon even though I knew what Katherine said.

"She just confirmed me that I should kill Elijah" said Damon. "We are having a dinner party tonight at the boarding house where Elijah is the guest of honor. And Ric will make sure that this is his last dinner for eternity." I nodded to that.

"Be careful okay." I said sounding completely supportive of the plan obviously.

"Elijah is an original. He won't hesitate to kill you if he finds out what you are planning to do from beforehand. He won't care about the deal with Elena then." I said because I couldn't really tell Damon that Elijah himself will let Alaric dagger him at the dinner party, can I? And I have to act all worried and tensed up for them as well.

"Don't worry yourself too much. We will be careful" said Damon with assured tone of voice and I nodded to that with a sigh.

"Is Andie gonna be there at the dinner?" I asked and Damon hesitated a bit to answer but nodded his head anyway.

"It's actually her idea. Please don't be mad" said Damon and I shook my head.

"I am not mad Damon. Actually I think it's a good idea that she is coming. Andie can distract Elijah easily." I said and Damon looked happy and surprised at the same time at my response.

Before I knew it, it was time for the epic dinner party. I couldn't be at the Boarding house obviously therefore I couldn't witness everything with my own eyes. However I knew what must have happened there. At night I was pacing in my room. Jeremy and Anna were in his room doing (something) I am sure I don't want to know. Even though I knew that everything went just fine, I couldn't help but be worried and tensed up because I didn't know anything about Katherine yet. There was no words from her. Elijah must be already daggered, Katherine should be out of the tomb by now. I was looking out of the window when I felt a presence in my room behind me. A smile crawled up my lips and I turned around to look at the person.

"Finally you are out." I said grinning broadly. Katherine was standing in my room with a smirk on her lips.

"Yes finally" said Katherine. I walked over to her and we both hugged each other and laughed like old best friends meeting after a long time.

"So, I guess Elijah is dead for now." I stated the obvious and Katherine nodded to that.

"His body is lying in the boarding house cellar at the moment" said Katherine and I sighed out in relief. That was one work well done for me. Now I have to inform Dr. Jonas about it. And to clarify things, no this time Dr. Jonas wouldn't try to pull the dagger out of Elijah using spells and Luka.

"Did anyone see you yet?" I asked wondering if Katherine came here straight away. However, she smirked before answering that and I knew right away what Katherine is going to say.

"Damon was quite shocked to see me in his shower" said Katherine without any hesitation. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Don't play with him Katherine. Damon is my boy toy now." I said shamelessly. Katherine smirked at that knowingly.

"Well yes of course. You two are quite an item now, aren't you?" inquired Katherine and I simply shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly.

"In private yeah. It's still kind of a secret affair." I said and Katherine stared at me for a while then sighed out a laugh.

"You guys are doing it, aren't you?" Katherine said that with no hint of doubt in her voice. I bit on my bottom lip and nodded my head lightly. I haven't said it to Katherine yet that I already slept with Damon, twice already.

"You encouraged me, remember?" I said in my defense. Katherine smirked at that.

"That I did. But didn't think you would actually listen to me" said Katherine truthfully. I shrugged my shoulders again while smirking to myself.

"Well, I did and I am happy about it." I said without any regret at all. Katherine raised her eye brows at me this time.

"Girl, you like it rough too, don't you?" said Katherine and instead of shying, I smirked more and waggled my eye brows at her.

"You have no idea." And we both laughed out at that. Soon a deadly game will begin for me. It is a good thing that I am having a good time now. Because soon I might not even get a chance to smile.

AN: Okay so I hope you are happy that Katherine is out now. I am a bit conflicted about the next chapter though. I have two versions of it written, one with detail lemons and another with slight mentioning of it. And I don't know which one to post. So, suggestions would be very appreciated. Next update when it's crossed 600 reviews. Lol, so the faster you review the sooner you are gonna get another chapter.*wink* Love, kisses and hugs.
