Why the hell was Damon protecting Katherine? He hated just as much as I did. Or at least that's what I thought.

"You hate her too, Damon."

"I know I do, but I am not killing her and I wont let you kill her either."

"Why not? She made you and Stefan the worst of enemies, you despised each other at the hands of Katherine."

My forearm is still pressed up against Katherine's neck and I can feel her go limp at my grip.

Damon rushes over to catch her, "See what you did?! You might have killed her."

I personally check her pulse, "Nope, still alive. My plan didn't work."

I cross my arms at my chest. I'm sad that Katherine isn't dead. I wish she would just leave this world forever.

Damon shakes his head at me, "This is not the Elena I fell in love with."

How could he say that? I was still me, just immortal and stronger, "You don't mean that."

"Of course I do, Elena! The Elena I fell in love with would never kill someone else, never mind a powerless human."

"She isn't human, she's Katherine."

"You cant play that card anymore, Elena. She is just as human as you used to be."

"You are not serious!" This turned into a yelling match quicker than I imagined.

"What is going through your head right now Elena? How much you want to kill vampire Katherine, not human Katherine."

"She is still Katherine, don't put a label on her."

"You gave her a clean slate when you shoved that cure down her throat, unwillingly." Damon was winning the fight for who had the louder scream.

"I didn't want her to have a clean slate!"

"You left her for dead, with no one to protect her. What did you expect her to do?" Damon lowered his voice, "She was at the house when I went looking for Stefan."

"Why?"

"I don't know because I did the same thing you did. I had her neck under my arm."

"See you wanted to kill her too."

"I didn't know she was human."

True, I thought to myself. "Why was she there?"

"We didn't get that far. I didn't believe that she was really human, so I brought her here, my mistake, obviously."

"Damon I-"

A confused Katherine, waking up from her unconscious state, "Da-Damon", cut me off. She was stammering, for my boyfriend.

"I'm here, Katherine."

"I'm so sorry." No one, ever, heard Katerina Petrova say the words 'I'm sorry'.
