Chapter 3.

"Was this your plan all along?" Damon asked.

"No, I was going to crash your car and basically force you to give me your blood so I wouldn't die on site, but honestly, this is so much more entertaining" she said as she rolled back one of Damon's sleeves as Damon's eyes got dark and the veins popped just under his eyes. "That's a good boy, do it for your lover" she teased as Damon opened his mouth, relieving his fangs. He sunk his teeth into his wrist, the blood practically pooling out. He stared at it for a second, he was so going to get murdered by everyone for this. He thought to himself as he looked at Katherine.

"Promise me you won't hurt Bonnie" he grunted out.

"She's safe, swear" Katherine replied as she started to move to his wrist. Slowly, carefully she sucked his wrist, the blood dripping from her lips as she took a few big gulps and then straightened up, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.

"I forgot how delicious you taste" she said almost seductively. "Now, you know the final step" she said moving closer yet again.

"Trust me, I've waited a long time to kill you, but, under these particular circumstances I'm going to have to pass" he said as he wiped off the now drying blood and turned to head back to his car. "Night Katherine, good luck" he said with a wave as he drove away.

"Bonnie, hey, listen, sorry about earlier, I was a little preoccupied, but I promise I'll make it up; alright, sleep well, love you" he said as he ended the call as he closed the door behind him. When he attempted to call Bonnie all the way to the house it kept going straight to voicemail; he knew she was probably sleep, but he wanted to keep trying since he did feel rather guilty.

"What, no kissy sounds?" Stefan asked appearing from the kitchen.

"Ha ha" Damon said strolling over to his bar as Stefan joined him, his arms over his chest and his brow furrowed. "What?" he asked as Stefan shrugged.

"Just nice to see you happy" Stefan said with a little smile.

"Katherine jumped in front of my car tonight" Damon blurted out casually; all looks of proudness and happiness disappearing from Stefan's face. Good, that was so annoying.

"Is she okay? Did she die?" Stefan asked in a rushed tone.

"She's peachy, did it on purpose" he told him as Stefan continued to look at him wide eyed. "Speaking of Katherine, where's Elena?" he asked looking around.

"Chatting with Jeremy, she just got off Skype not long ago" Stefan explained. "But anyway, Katherine?" he asked.

"She's fine," Damon stressed, then, with a heavy sigh he shrugged. "Got me to feed her my blood" he mumbled.

"But she's human, you had options" Stefan scolded as Damon swallowed his drink.

"I know Stefan, but she has eyes and ears, still; she threated Bonnie" he added as Stefan's brow got even more defined. "Okay, so it wasn't a direct threat but I know her" he corrected.

"I do too, and now that she has vampire blood in her system she's going—"

"I know! Okay, I know! Trust me, this is the last thing I wanted—needed, but what's done is done, if it comes down to it I'll rip her heart out myself" he said as Stefan sighed, shook his head and helped himself to a drink.

"Does Bonnie know?" he asked after a few second passed.

"No," Damon said though he knew it was something he was eventually going to have to tell her. "She's going to be so pissed…" he said slamming his glass down.

"I'm pissed Damon, Elena gave her that cure for a reason. Things were going well, Elena is adjusting. Everything worked out, and now, it's basically like the cure was pointless. We wasted the cure because you're an idiot" Stefan said as Damon frowned at his brother.

"What gotten in to you?" he asked. Then he remembered, Stefan did want the cure, he did want to be human, he wanted that life. Elena had given it to him for a moment. It was in his hands, and then it was gone. Katherine always won, she'd always have the Salvatore brothers under her thumb, Damon thought morbidly. Then he remembered Klaus.

"Did I ever tell you why Klaus came with us?" Damon asked as Stefan jerked his eyes back to his brother though his grim expression didn't quite lift.

"He knows Caroline cares about Bonnie and he could be of assistance?" Stefan replied, his tone not quite reaching sarcasm or interest.

"No," Damon started, pouring himself another drink. "He knows how to make the cure" Damon said as he smirked at Stefan's jaw dropping reaction.
