"Why isn't she answering?" Katherine yelled and threw her phone on the couch, running her hands through her hair.

I raised my eyebrows from surprise. I had never even imagined that Katherine Pierce would care so much about someone besides herself. I looked at Stefan , who was hugging a hysterical Elena. We were currently in her house being kicked out of ours. Personally I did not see why Katherine was so worried. Klaus and Belle were just having a chat, what was the big deal? After all Belle was some sort of a witch/vampire hybrid and she dated the guy. That meant that she was capable of taking care of him, right?

"Why are you so worried? I don't see it. They talk, she convinces him not to kill us all, she comes home-everybody is happy." I shrugged my shoulders and Katherine darted her head towards me, her eyes throwing knives at me.

"Do you really think it would be this easy, Damon?" I nodded and smirked, seeing how angry she was. "She ran away from him, she betrayed him or at least he sees it this way, he's been looking for her for the past 500 years. He is not going to let her go this easily." She looked down.

"But she is powerful, right? She can take him on."

"You really are young, Damon. Young and naive." My head darted to Rose, who was white as hell, her forehead covered in sweat. She swallowed thickly, obviously making a huge effort to speak. "Even without unlocking all of his werewolf power, he is the most powerful supernatural creature. He is smart and he is always one step ahead of his enemies. In one moment you are alive and breathing and in the next..." she snapped her fingers"...your head is rolling next to your body. Belle is the strongest witch I have ever met but she doesn't stand a chance against him. At least not when she is alone."

"And? He is going to kill her. Newsflash-sometimes vampires die. No biggie..." Katherine flashed in front of me, her fangs popping out.

"Not when this vampire is my sister, jerk. She came here to help you, remember?" Her finger pocked my chest and I slapped her hand away, not impressed by her scary face display.

"More help herself. She is just as selfish as you, Katerina." I spat her real name with venom. I couldn't help the feeling of consuming anger. Was she really the person who had to judge me? She of all people?

"Give her some credit, Damon." Rose whispered and coughed. "Belle is different. They look a lot alike and when she switches off her emotions she tends to act like her, but she is nothing like Katherine. " Katherine looked at Rose with anger.

"Thanks." She murmured under her breath but nodded. "She is right though." I shrugged my shoulders. Stefan opened his mouth to say something but the doorbell cut him off. Elena made a little jump in his arms, showing some sort of an emotion for the first time since we left our house.

"I'll open it." She said quietly, stood up and walked to the door, stopping with the door knob in her hand. She looked at Katherine expectantly. She rolled her eyes and flashed up the stairs. Elena opened the door and I turned my head towards Stefan.

"Matt? Um...what are you doing here?" I heard her saying and Stefan and I rolled our eyes simultaneously. This boy should have died a few dramas ago. "Caroline isn't here."

"I'm not here for her. Is Katherine Pierce here?" My head darted towards him, immediately sensing that there was something wrong. Elena gulped and looked at us with slight panic.

"Matt? There is no Katherine here. What are you talking about?" She stepped back, her eyes widen from surprise. Had Caroline finally told him about our vampire situation? I highly doubted that.

"Is Katherine Pierce here? I have a message for her from Klaus." Aaandd everything cleared up. I stood up and walked to Elena, pushing her back.

"He has been compelled." I raised my eyebrows as Stefan moved next to Elena. " O, Miss Katherine, somebody is waiting for you!" I yelled with mock. She flashed down the stairs, glaring at me. She pushed me away and stepped in front of Matt.

"What message, sweetheart?" Matt's eyes, which were completely lifeless, moved to hers.

"Are you Katherine Pierce?"

"Yes, I am." She crossed her hands on her chest as he pulled something from his back pocket, something that flickered in the sunlight and was covered with a blood red cloth.

"Klaus said to give you this."He reached out his hand and Katherine looked at me for a second before she grabbed it from his hand. She quickly unwrapped it and stared in disbelief. She was holding a small glass bottle, filled with red liquid, probably blood.

"What is this?"She asked, looking up at Matt. "Where is my sister? Where is Annabelle?" Matt shook his head, his face still expressionless.

"This is the cure." He said simply." And Annabelle Pierce? She is paying for the cure. She gave herself over to Klaus."

"What?" I asked and moved closer. "What do you mean?" Matt shrugged his shoulders and looked directly at Elena. "You'll have your brother by the end of the day."He moved his eyes towards Katherine. "She is paying for that too." Katherine clenched her fists and her fangs popped out. I grabbed her hands.

"Don't do stupid things, honey. He knows only what he has been compelled to know. Relax."

"Relax?! Are you kidding me? My sister is with that freak and it's all your fault!"

"My fault? Why is her being stupid enough to stay with him in private my fault?"

"Because she wouldn't have had to stay with him in private if she hadn't had to fix your mistakes! Your mistake to piss off a werewolf on a full moon, your mistake of not caring enough for Elena's relatives to keep them safe, your mistake of being so arrogant all the time and not stopping for a brief moment to admit that you've screwed up. Big time!"

"Wow, what a speech from Miss Perfection. When did you get so considerate, Katherine? Somewhere between compelling me and Stefan to fall in love with you, pretending to be dead and almost killing Elena's father ( not that I judge you about this one) and turning her best friend into a vampire? Has anyone told you how hypocritical you tend to be, Katy?"

" I'm hypocritical! Look at yourself, Damon!" She yelled, slamming the door shut.

"I'm telling you once again. You. Are. Not. The. Person. To. Tell. Me .This!"

"Who..." She began to yell but Elena moved between us, waving her hands.

"Hey, hey! Stop, both of you." She looked at me." Damon, stop. Put yourself in her shoes, what would you do if Stefan had given himself over to Klaus?" She looked at Katherine. " Relax, we'll find her. I promise."

I pursed lips and looked down for a second. I was angry, but the problem was that she was right. It was my fault. Annabelle had sacrificed her life to fix my mistakes. And I felt horrible about it.

I looked straight at Katherine's eyes.

"I'll find her."

"Do you think that they bought it?"

"Well, our plan depends on it so...I hope yes." He crossed his legs. I looked around. Currently we were in a big mansion, which was beautifully decorated.

"Nice place." He shrugged his shoulders and looked at his watch. I tilted my head to one side."When do we get to see the real Klaus? This body doesn't suit you very well."

He raised eyebrows and smirked, cocking his head to one side.

"I thought you said that everything suited me perfectly." He winked, referring to what I had said a few centuries ago. I crossed hands on my chest and smirked too.

"I changed my mind." He shook his head.

"Well then you'll be happy to know that my witch Greta will be here any minute."

"With your real body?"

"Mhm." He said absently mindedly and I sighed. I was going to have such a great time here! Note my deep sarcasm. I was already starting to get bored. I sighed again and took my phone out. Suddenly he grabbed it from my hands.

"Hey!" I yelled and grabbed it back.

"You are not going to call anyone. Are you familiar with concept of holding one as a hostage? You are not allowed to use your phone." He made an expectant gesture. "Give it to me."

He looked so serious, his hand reached out with that Baby Jeremy face...and I just cracked. I started laughing so hard that I almost fell off the chair.

He looked at me like I was crazy.

"Did I say something funny?" He raised his eyebrows, trying to look scary but the Baby Jeremy's face kind of killed the terrifying part.

"Yeah, you did. I'm not giving you my phone." I narrowed my eyes. "I won't call anyone, I'm not stupid. And it was my idea to pretend that I had given myself over to you." I waved my hand. "Relax." And then I checked my missed calls. "43 missed calls. Pretty solid." I put it back in pocket. He opened his mouth to say something but the doorbell interrupted him. He looked at me and flashed to open the door.

"Greta." He said and moved away, making enough space for a young, black haired girl to come in. I immediately sensed how powerful she is...but the problem was that she sensed me as well. Her eyes immediately found mine, looking at me with suspicion. Without taking her eyes off of me she said.

"The rest of the things are downstairs. You might want to help the boys carry them." She patted his chest. "There are pretty important things there." Klaus smirked and looked at me.

"Be nice. Introduce yourself."And he flashed himself out, leaving me with her. She stared at me for a few moments.

I stood up and moved closer to her. She still hadn't figured everything out but one word to Klaus and...ya know.

I narrowed my eyes.

And I was just about to say something when she grabbed my hand.

I felt like an electrocution had hit me. The place where our hands touched was burning. My body was numb for a few seconds, as the world spun in front of me.

I had underestimated her. She was stronger than I thought.

As suddenly as she had grabbed me she let go of my hand. Her eyes were slightly widen as she moved closer to me, her voice barely a whisper.

"So you are the one..."
