Twisted Love
Season Two
Memory Lane
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Vampire Diaries, I only own Grace :)
Grace let out a small gasp as she opened her eyes to a whole new world, everything was brighter including the dazzling icy blue orbs she was looking into as he stood above her. Letting go of her hand out a pure shock Grace hit her head on the wood floor.
"Ow." She whispered, her voice was sore where she had screamed before a werewolf had ended her human life.
"Grace." Damon whispered pure shock filled his voice, he couldn't get any other words out as he stared at the brunette.
"D-Damon…" She stuttered not being able to contain the tears spilling over her eyes lids "I'm alive…" She looked up at him, nodding he pulled her into a tight hug holding her so close to his body afraid if he let go he'd loose her again.
"I thought I lost you." Damon nuzzled into her neck "You're here, you're here with me." he repeated for himself, he still wasn't convinced that she was breathing in his arms.
"What am I?" Grace asked carefully "I died, I remember dying."
Pulling away from her Damon quickly moved his hands to her face looking deep into her shinning chocolate brown orbs, he saw the emptiness and the coldness of her stare back at him.
"You're a vampire." He confirmed "Well, you will be. You're in transition at the moment, I'll get you some blood." Damon got up and lead her into the kitchen "Sit here, don't move." he told her sternly and she nodded.
Zipping down the stairs into the cellar of the house Damon grabbed a blood bag form the freezer that was still stocked to the brim with blood. Running back up the stone stairs to see Grace still sitting there twiddling her thumbs at the dinning table, he let out a breath of relief as she smiled at him, she was still here.
"Here." Damon placed it on the table for her "You need to drink this."
"I heard what you said." Grace whispered, her cheeks were a light shade of pink "When I was trying to wake up…"
"What did I say?" Damon took a seat opposite her avoiding eye contact.
"You told me that you would miss me... and that I should be alive, with you..." Grace nodded "Well I'm here now. I'm a vampire, but I'm alive. Did you mean it?" She asked, the level of seriousness in her voice made him shudder.
"Of course." Damon nodded "Of course I meant it, but the other day you told me that I wasn't ready for us." He saw the look on her face "You lied, you want to be with me, too."
"Yeah. I do." Grace nodded before standing up "we're just … we're both so complicated. Both of us have such issues and now I'm so emotional because of this stupid transition thing, I'm not sure I'll be able to cope with losing you or saying the wrong thing and making you run ten miles." Tears glistened in her eyes.
Damon stood up and zipped around so he was standing in front of her "It doesn't have to be complicated, we're only making it harder for ourselves because we don't want to admit what we truly feel."
"Damon-" Grace whispered.
"Tell me you don't want to be with me and I'll let you live you life. In peace. Without me." Damon waited, and waited, but after a while he leaned her head up and looked deep into her eyes "Tell me and I'm gone."
"I don't want you to leave." She breathed "I want you here with me. This is our second chance, Damon, we-" Before she could finish her sentence Damon leaned down and crushed his lips against hers.
"You smell like death." He noted pulling back crinkling his nose
"Well... that's what happens when your back gets broke and you die." She replied leaning up to kiss him again.
"Grace." Stefan stood in the doorway his mouth dropped open "This isn't real."
Pulling back from Damon's lips she turned to the vampire that she thought of as a older protective brother. Her slender back was against Damon's chest as he leaned down sniffing her hair. A small smile escaped her lips and the younger brother rushed over to her, touching her face gently to check if she was real, if she was actually there in front of her.
"Hi." Was all she could manage as more tears spilled over rushing down her cheeks to be caught by Stefan.
"You're alive." Stefan bundled her up into his arms "Elena, she was so upset, I hated seeing her like that, and it was my fault-"
"No, it wasn't." Grace pulled back "I died because I was too stubborn to listen to reason, I knew Vampires were real, I should have believed in werewolves too."
"Speaking of werewolves." Damon noted from where he now sat at the dinning table a glass of blood there for Grace "Which one was it?"
"We only saw the aftermath of it... but I have my suspicions." Stefan noted
"So do I." Damon nodded "I just want to confirm it was Mason Lockwood before I rip his heart out and shove it down his throat." Damon growled.
"Damon, we don't know anything, yet." Grace replied as she inspected the blood in the glass in front of her "Besides, my death was my own fault, I got in the way."
"Someone killed you." Damon stood up "And I will find them."
"Damon." She called, but Damon left the room.
"Don't think about it." Stefan told her referring to the blood "It won't be great at first, but after a while it won't even bother you, it will taste good."
"all right." Grace nodded as she brought the glass up to her lips and emptied the contents shaking her head "Yeah, that wasn't the best thing I've ever drank." She admitted "What about going out in the sun, I don't want to bother Bonnie again, she already hates Caroline…"
"I'll speak to her." Stefan smiled "How are you feeling?"
"I'm not sure, everything seems like a blur, it's all happening so fast, ten minutes ago I was dead on the floor, now I'm making out with Damon..." Grace admitted gulping "Do I trust him?" she lowered her voice.
Stefan paused "Usually I'd be wary of Damon, but he seems genuine, are you two actually together now?"
"I'm not sure, I think so, kind of." Grace nodded and Stefan smiled at her.
"Guess what? Jenna is having a barbecue today, Alaric is going to be there. You and I will be there." The rave haired vampire grinned at Grace as he entered the room "Elena, Caroline, Mason-"
"Wait, what are you planning?" Stefan cut him off.
"I can't go out there." Grace shook her head.
"I'll get the witch to make you a ring." Damon grinned at her "I'm going to expose our werewolf friend for what he truly is, then I'm going to torture him until-"
"Damon." Grace warned.
Grace was sitting on Damon's after she had taken a shower. She was on her own which felt like heaven to her, Damon and Stefan had been fussing over her so much she just wanted a minute to think.
Looking down at her pale skin, it seemed to look healthier now, her nails were longer too but clean, touching her hair gently it was a darker shade of brown, and it was incredibly shiny, and just a little longer than it was before.
"Hey." Damon walked in the room "Nice shower?"
"Yeah." Grace smiled she got up adjusting her towel as he placed her clothes on his bed "Thank you for this Damon, I know I've been... not very kind to you the past couple of days-"
"You had every right to feel that way." Damon smiled "Get dressed, Bonnie is waiting downstairs and Stefan has gone to take a nap."
"All right." Grace smiled.
Damon flashed her a grin before leaving the room, pulling her white lacy dress on she smiled in the mirror at herself, her clothes seemed to fit her better now, not that she didn't suit them before, but she felt more confident in them now.
Jogging down the stairs Grace saw Bonnie chanting a spell on a necklace, the pendant was a medium sized blue stone, Damon flicked through a book as Bonnie finished.
"ok, it's done." Bonnie held the necklace out in front of her "Where did you get this?"
"I had it saved." Damon replied "Just in case."
"In case what?" Grace walked in the room.
"Someone I cared about needed it." Damon answered.
"Hi Bonnie." Grace smiled as she walked in the room to see her witch friend.
"I can't believe this happened to you." Bonnie sighed "It was all my fault, if you had never got hurt because of my Damon would have never had to give you his blood and-"
"Bonnie." Grace stopped her "You don't need to blame yourself." Grace smiled taking the necklace and placing it around her neck Damon did it up at the back "I'm fine, I'm not alive, but I'm not dead either."
"All right." Bonnie nodded "But I have to say this, I will not let any harm come to this town, I won't let it happen, even if it is you or Caroline..."
"I understand." Grace nodded "Thank you, Bonnie."
"It's fine." Bonnie gathered all her items together and quickly scurried from Salvatore Boarding House.
"We're going out." Damon told her.
"But what about Elena? I need to see her." Grace told him.
"We'll see her when we go to her house." Damon took her hand pulling her towards the front door, Damon opened it and the sunlight poured in. Grace flinched but nothing happened she didn't burn to a crisp she just stood there with her man.
"Won't that be a bit of a surprise for her?" Grace asked finally able to speak.
Stefan and Katherine were dancing in the middle of the Lockwood Mansion, it was the very first Founder's Ball and Stefan was still human escorting a vampire Katherine. Unfortunately Fayth had grown board of Damon for the time being and dumped him as her escort before he could take her.
"Look who found his dancing shoes." Katherine teased as Stefan leaned into kiss her "No touching, Mr. Salvatore. Those are the rules." She grinned.
"I thought you didn't believe in rules." Stefan replied, glancing over his shoulder he saw Damon standing there throwing daggers at Fayth's new date.
"My brother is still upset that Fayth chose not to take him tonight." Stefan noted.
"Well, Damon needs to concede that he is not he best dancer, and Fayth is incredibly indecisive, she knows what she wants and will go after it, or in Damon's case will not..." Katherine replied looking over at Damon too "Looks like he found someone to occupy his time."
Stefan looked over at his raven haired brother to see Grace standing there in everyday clothes flirting with Damon.
"Grace." Stefan whispered.
"Stefan don't." Katherine put her hand on his chest.
Grace left through a door with Damon, the light was so bright Stefan winced as he watched, jogging after them he ran through to find himself in the Mystic Grill in normal 2010 clothes.
"It's your turn." Grace smiled at him holding a pool cue in her hand as she stood next to a table, but wasn't she was talking Stefan she was really talking to Damon who walked over and kissed her passionately taking.
"Prepare to lose." Damon smirked bending Grace over the table lining his shot as he traced his lips down her neck, she giggled at his touch.
"It's right, isn't it?" Katherine was standing next to him complete in her 1864 dress "Damon and Grace... Now you know how I feel. Don't fight it, Stefan. You loved me once. You can love me again."
Suddenly Stefan was back in 1864, in the suit he was wearing standing in the hall way of the Lockwood Mansion Katherine standing in front of him.
"I love you, Stefan." She kissed him "We'll be together again, I promise."
Stefan jolting awake from his nightmare he saw Elena asleep on his chest, he breathed out as he remembered it was only a dream.
"Hey, are you ok?" Elena asked.
"Yeah. Yes, bad dream." Stefan replied "Get back to sleep." He ranked his fingers through her hair slowly before smelling her, she wasn't Elena, it was Katherine posing again, moving from under her slender body he was standing in front of her.
"Katherine." He growled.
"You have to admit, I am getting better at this." Katherine smirked "It was easy to get inside your head. Have you completely forsaken your nature?" She went to get up from the bed, Stefan sprinted towards her but she shoved him across the room "Are we really going to do this again? We both know I could rip you to shreds and do my nails at the same time."
"What do you want." Stefan peeled himself off the floor to be standing.
"I wanted to see you." She pouted and he rolled his hazel eyes "I missed you, Stefan. Indulge me for a little while, please?"
"Why are you back in town?" Stefan crossed his arms over his chest.
"3 reasons: you, you and you." She giggled holding up three fingers.
"You see, I can't quite keep that down. Just kind of." He cleared his throat "gets stuck in my throat."
"Well, you know it's the truth. Deep down inside that gorgeous body of yours there's the Stefan that fell in love with me too." Katherine ran a manicured finger over his chest.
"It feels good to have the sun on my skin, it feels warmer." Grace muttered as she got out of Damon's car "Why are we here?"
"I'm picking up desert." Damon replied "We're guests at this barbecue, it's only fitting that we bring something..."
"Oh. Isn't it meant to be home made?" Grace asked and Damon shot her a look "They know I'm coming right? Elena and Jenna? Have you spoke to Elena?"
"Jenna does, I told her we're together now and you want me there." Damon took her hand leading her inside walking over to the counter "peach cobbler."
"I remember." the blonde girl behind the countered smiled before walking into the back room.
"My jaw hurts." Grace pressed her finger tips to her jaw.
"Ow." A man hissed behind them as he dabbed his hand with a towel, poured pooled onto the table.
"Grace." Damon locked her in his arms as he saw her face changing.
"Ah." Grace whispered as her fangs pushed through.
"Here." The girl laid a purple box on the side.
"Thanks." Damon smiled picking it up with one hand whilst pull his lady from the building into the fresh air "Breathe, Grace." He encouraged "Deep breaths."
After a couple of minutes Grace looked up guilty "I can't believe I was even tempted."
"That's how it is." Damon told her "If you think even I wasn't tempted then you're crazy, it's always there, it's just more for you at the moment."
At the Lockwood Mansion Mason was getting ready to go out, he was still feeling guilty for killing that girl last night, he wasn't sure who it was, but he knew he had killed her. Tyler walked over to him as he was about to leave for Jenna's barbecue.
"Hey, Mason, got a second?" Tyler asked.
"no, man, barbecue at Jenna Sommers' house." Mason replied.
"Come on man; give me two minutes, alright? You can't keep dodging me. I'm freaking out here!" Tyler explained clearly distort by the fact that his uncle was a werewolf.
"Tyler, what do you me to say man? Yes, I turned into a wold. No, it's not going to happen to you." Mason replied.
"How do you know that?" Tyler asked.
"Because you're not gonna trigger the curse. Your dad didn't know anything about any of this neither did I until it happened to me." Mason shook his head.
"How does it get triggered?" Tyler asked coyly.
"Ignorance is bliss, trust me." Mason was about to leave.
"You blow back into town with some supernatural family secret and you expect me not to ask questions?" Tyler asked in disbelief.
"I can't say anything more, I'm sorry, Tyler. It's just better for you if I don't." Mason told him.
"You ever find that moon stone?" Tyler questioned.
"Do you know where it is?" Mason turned to his nephew.
"What's so special about it?" Tyler asked coyly.
"I told you, it was my mom's. It's sentimental. Look, just don't worry about it. Forget I even brought it up, alright? See you later." Mason shook his head as he left.
Tyler reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out the moon stone he had found the other night, inspecting it he didn't notice anything that was different about it. Nothing unusual. Just a stone.
Katherine was sat in the parlour room of the Salvatore Boarding house, her nose stuck in Stefan's journal, walking around the corner the younger Vampire saw her sifting through it.
"You shouldn't read someones journal." Stefan told her.
"I know. I'm sorry. It was just too tempting, all of your inner thoughts and feelings, laying there on your desk for me to read." She pouted as he snatched the journal from her hands replacing it with a glass of blood.
"Damon's private stock." He explained.
"Right! You don't do human." Katherine nodded "I read that." she noted "I also read about your recent werewolf siting and poor little Gracie... dead. That must have come as a surprise. I'm sure Fayth won't be too unhappy."
"What do you know about werewolves?" Stefan ignored the Grace statement.
"I know not to pet one. Their bite kills, Stefan. It's best to stay clear of them during a full moon." Katherine replied.
"And... how do you know this?" Stefan questioned.
"Who do you think was responsible for ridding this town of vampires in 1864?" Katherine smirked "Founding families." Stefan nodded.
"Spearheaded by?"
"The Lockwoods."
"You remember the Founder's Ball, don't you? That one that you were dreaming about?" Katherine winked.
"I was your escort." Stefan nodded.
"That was before you and Damon knew about mine and Fayth's little secret." The older vampire replied.
The year was 1864 and Stefan and Katherine stood in the crowd of the Lockwood Mansion whilst Damon made a speech.
"Everyone will you please join me in raising your glasses to my good friend George Lockwood." Damon raised his glass like everyone else "George, thank you for so bravely defending the south."
"My honour Mr. Salvatore. After all, someone had to do it." George replied clinking his glass to Damon's as he made a dig.
"Ms. Katherine, I require a work with you and Ms. Fayth." Henry walked over to Katherine.
"Grab a glass, Henry, it is a celebration." Katherine replied.
"Please, Ms. Katherine." He begged.
Rolling her eyes Katherine followed Henry from the room Fayth was already waiting for them, she looked inpatient and bored.
"This better be good Henry." Fayth growled.
"I looked at those attacks from the other night. It wasn't vampires." Henry explained in a hushed voice.
"That's good news, Henry." Katherine smiled "It means we have nothing to worry about, Fayth."
"I'm afraid you don't understand. Those folks were torn apart in ways I've never seen before." The fear was evident in Henry's voice.
"Then... it won't be long before the founders draw up an investigation." Fayth mumbled.
"We'll leave town immediately. I'll tell the others." Henry was about to leave, but Katherine caught his arm.
"Relax, Henry. This town is our home and the vampires are my family. I won't let anything happen to us." Katherine replied as she caught eyes with George Lockwood from across the room.
"From the moment I met George, I knew he'd be a problem." Katherine explained as she sat in the Salvatore parlour room in 2010.
"So you're saying that all the Lockwoods are werewolves." Stefan noted.
"The werewolf gene runs in the Lockwood family. Not that they're all wolves." Katherine replied.
"How many werewolves are out there? I mean... is it just limited to the Lockwood's?" Stefan questioned curiously.
"No, there are others. Not many. They're practically extinct. They mainly exist now in books and really bad movies." She snickered taking a sip of her drink before placing it on the table "My turn to ask a question." She grabbed his journal grabbing the old picture of her and Fayth "Why did you keep this picture? Why not burn it? Tear it up? You want to know why I came back. Well I have a better question: why did you? For Elena? No. You came back here to fall in love with me all over again, didn't you?" She glared at him.
Standing up slowly Stefan took a step towards her closing the distance, touching her face gently she melted into his touch.
"What is it about you that makes me still care?" He asked as she leaned up and kissed him, quickly he tricked her shoving a vervain dart in her back.
Catching her before she hit the floor Stefan throws her over his shoulder carrying her down to the cellar, placing her in the room that was used when he was detoxing off human blood. Chaining her to a chair he waited for her to wake up.
"Now, where were we?" Stefan questioned as her eyes fluttered open "That's right; you were going to tell me why you came back to Mystic Falls, weren't you?"
"You don't have to to this." Her voice was weak from the vervain.
"Answer the question." Stefan spat.
"I came back for you." Katherine replied.
"We're going to play by my rules now." Stefan rose and walked over to the stash of Vervain, putting a glove on he plucked a piece before walking back over and running over cheek delicately hearing a sizzling noise following it, she screamed loudly "Answer the question." The younger vampire growled.
"You're going to torture me now?" Katherine breathed.
"I'll do whatever it takes to get you to tell me the truth." Stefan replied.
"Fayth told me that later that night at the Founder's ball she went-"
"I don't want to hear any more stories about the past." Stefan hissed.
"Yes you do, Stefan! That's exactly what you want to hear." Katherine replied.
Outside of the Lockwood Mansion in 1864 Fayth walked around the grounds with George Lockwood.
"She's all alone." George noted "Does this finally mean I can finally have you all to myself?"
"Your father has outdone himself." Fayth smiled.
"Knowing father, he will want to throw a founder's party every year." George scoffed.
"I must admit, I'm rather surprised that you'd come looking for me." Fayth flirted.
"Because you are roping Damon in so fast, yet pushing him away just as quick?" George smirked.
"No, because I am a vampire who could kill you in your sleep." Fayth replied her voice was low.
"I beg your pardon?" George looked at her.
"Relax, George. I know you know my secret." Fayth smiled.
"This conversation is over." he went to walk away but she quickly caught his arm.
"And I know your secret too and I know that you're extra strong, only not as strong." She referred to herself as she released his arm and smiled.
"How do you know who I am?" George growled.
"You think that I would let my sister and myself settle in a town without knowing my enemies?" Fayth scoffed rolling her eyes.
"What do you want?" George asked and Fayth just smiled.
"What did he want?" Stefan asked in the present day taking a seat in front of her, he was just as curious as George was back in the day.
Elena stood with Jenna in the kitchen, the brunette wasn't sure what she was going to do, she had tried ringing Stefan to find out about Grace, but no one had got back to her, she just wanted to break down in tears.
"Thanks for letting me invite Caroline." Elena smiled at her aunt "She could use a day of distraction."
"Well, she's not the plus one I'm worried about. Grace is bringing Damon."
"What?" Elena looked up surprised "Grace isn't coming."
"Yes she is." Jenna smirked "Do you really think I could throw a party and not invite your twin."
"No, she can't. She's-" Elena cut herself off from telling her Aunt that her twin had been killed by a werewolf.
"Damon rang me this morning, told me Grace wanted him to come with him, something about them being together. I wasn't sure I believed it either, but hey. It'll be a good drama, right?" Jenna smirked.
"Good news! I found the shot glasses!" Mason walked in the room.
"I have to go." Elena quickly walked from the room grabbing her phone.
"You're here for 10 minutes and I'm already back under the bleachers at the pep rally." Jenna reminisced as Mason poured the alcohol into the three glasses.
"Like old times, huh? Only I didn't swipe this bottle from my old man." Mason grinned as Alaric walked in the room smiling at Jenna.
"Oh, the expensive stuff! I like you already." Alaric laughed.
"Just happy to be invited." Mason smiled at Jenna.
"Thank Ric." Jenna held up her hands "It was his idea."
"Yeah, you know, I thought it would be nice to meet some of Jenna's high school friends. Dig up a little dirt." Alaric noted.
"I've got dirt." Mason smirked.
"I have no secrets. Only dirty shame." Jenna admitted.
"To dirty shame." Alaric clinked their glasses together.
Outside Damon parked his car, Grace took a deep breath trying to calm her nerves. Leaning over the older vampire kissed her softly.
"You ok?"
"Fine." Grace's voice shook "Fine." She tried to steady it
Climbing out of the car Grace smiled the sweet air and Damon took her hand leading her towards the house.
"Why don't you answer your phone!" Elena shoved Damon before realising "G-Grace."
"I'll give you two a moment." Damon walked into the house.
"Uh..." Grace couldn't think of anything to say "Hi."
"Oh my god." She whispered throwing her arms around her twin "I thought I lost you. Stefan said it was too late to turn you... I'm so happy you're here."
"me too." Grace pulled back.
Elena hesitated "So... are you alive?"
"No." Grace shook her head "I'm technically dead." Grace explained motioning to her necklace laying on her slender neck "this is how I'm here right now."
"Are you girls coming?" Jenna called from the porch a laugh falling from her lips.
Alaric, Damon and Mason stood in the kitchen doing shots, it had been a little awkward for them as he had never met Damon before...
"So, I'm Damon Salvatore." He introduced himself to the werewolf "Grace's plus one."
"I don't think I've met Grace..." Mason noted "I'm Mason Lockwood. I've heard great things about you, Damon."
"Really? That's weird 'cause I'm a dick." Damon smirked.
"Hey. Why didn't you tell me that Grace was alive? Did you get my message about Jenna's barbecue? Call me when you can." Elena hung up talking to Stefan's voicemail.
"I can't believe you're here." Caroline looked at Grace surprised "Stefan put you in that car dead... no hope... but you're here."
"I guess I'm just lucky." Grace noted "Was that Stefan?" Grace asked Elena.
"Yeah, he hasn't called me back. I'm trying to decide if I should be worried." Elena sighed.
"I'm sure he's fine." Caroline shrugged.
Grace dug her hand in the bowl of chips eating loads "God! I cannot stop eating. Damon says it's a great way to sublimate the cravings. It's horrible just fighting the urge for blood every minute of every day."
"Tell me about it." Caroline agreed.
"I know that Stefan really hates that part of himself." Elena remembered.
"Yeah and he hates that you're a constant temptation." Caroline blurted out.
"Caroline, I don't think Stefan would want you talking to Elena about this." Grace gave her a look.
"He said that?" Elena ignored Grace.
"The desire to rip out your jugular every time he's with you? Trust me, it's there. It's why I had to break up with Matt." Caroline shrugged.
"Hey! Food's ready, come get it." Alaric smiled at them "Good to hear that you're alive." He looked at Grace.
"Great to be alive." She replied.
"Finally, I'm starving." Caroline walked in followed by Alaric and Elena.
As Grace went to walk in his was stopped by what felt like a brick wall, pressing her hand against it she was confused.
"Damon." Grace hissed "Damon, get out here."
Damon laughed as he walked around the corner "Poor baby." he cooed.
"Will you just invite me in? Or something." Grace growled.
"I can't I don't own the house-" Damon laughed.
"Grace, what are you doing out there? Come in." Jenna laughed as she walked around the corner too and Grace walked through the threshold that stopped her from entering the house.
"silly me." Grace hissed looking up at Damon as she walked past him jolting as he tapped her butt leading her into the kitchen seeing Mason, he looked at her in complete shock.
Stefan and Katherine continued to sit in the cell, she was still tied to the chair and he was watching her like a hawk.
"You know, we can sit here as long as you want. And when you start to desiccate, there's a tomb with your name on it." Stefan smirked.
"I've been doing all the talking, it's your turn. Do you pretend to be human when you're with Elena? Is that the appeal?" She questioned creasing her eye brows.
"Actually, I don't pretend to be anything when I'm with her. That's the whole point. I get to just be myself." Stefan replied
"Does she know that you love me?" A grin appeared on Katherine's plump lips.
"I don't." Stefan shook his head.
"That's where you're wrong, Stefan. Don't you remember bringing me home that night? Your family had taken Fayth and I in." Katherine triggered another flashback.
Fayth, Katherine and Stefan walked into the Salvatore Boarding House, Fayth smiled at the two before walking upstairs
"I had a lovely time, Stefan." Katherine smiled at him.
"How long do you plan on staying in Mystic Falls?" Stefan asked hopeful.
"As long as I'm wanted." Katherine replied coyly "You father has been very kind to give my sister and I shelter."
"How could he not? Losing your family in a fire, gratefully you made it out of Atlanta." Stefan replied leading her upstairs to her bedroom door.
"So, I gather we are wanted." A genuine smile appeared on her face.
"Very much so." He laughed "I know… we've only known each other for a short while and I know I'm in competition for your affections but I've never met a woman quite like you. I look at you and I see an angel. I touch your skin and my entire body ignites. I kiss you and I know that I'm falling in love." He leaned down and pecked her lips, it was like a feather had caressed her "I am in love with you."
"There's so much you don't know about me, Stefan. About Fayth and I." The vampire couldn't believe she was trying to ware him off.
"More to learn and love." Stefan replied with a smile.
"I must say good night." She turned to her door.
"Have I upset you?" Stefan asked.
"No, you haven't upset me." Katherine turned back "You've just surprised me. Until tomorrow." she walked into her bedroom.
Across the hall Katherine was in her bedroom listening through the door, rolling her eyes she turned to see Damon lounging on her bed.
"It is rude to ease drop, Ms. Fayth." He stood and sauntered towards her.
"What are you doing here?" She shrugged her shawl off her shoulders.
"I told you I would come." Damon replied.
"Well, I am tired, Damon. You should leave." She ordered.
"Did my little brothers confession to your sister overwhelm you?" Damon leaned close.
"Damon." She growled walking around him "I need you to leave."
"Is my love not enough for you, Fayth?" He asked.
"I told you. I am tired." Katherine turned beginning to compel him "I wish to be alone tonight. Please, leave."
"Good night, Fayth." Damon smiled as he left her room.
Katherine nodded at the memory "Go ahead Stefan. Torture me, keep me captive, drain me of my blood until my body turns to dust. It'll never change the truth. I never compelled your love. It was real and so was mine."
Grace sat on the edge of the couch walking Damon was playing pictonary, Grace could just about make out a wolf with what looked like a tutu on.
"Dress! Bellerina!" Jenna hollered a little drunk.
"Puppy! Puppy with a tutu!" Caroline then added.
"No, no." Damon shook his head.
"A dog!" Jenna then guessed "Ain't nothing but a hound-dog!"
"Dances with wolves." Mason finally guessed with a sigh.
"Mason wins... again." Damon growled walking over to Grace.
"How is that a wolf?" Jenna looked at him exasperated, Grace could smell the booze on her breath laughing as she stood up.
"I'll go get desert ready." Grace smiled.
"I'll help." Damon smiled sweetly at her.
"Thanks." Grace shook her head as they walked into the kitchen, she grabbed the box and took it out.
"Did you see the way Mason looked at you when you first walked in the room?" Damon asked.
"No really." Grace replied as he stood behind her breathing on her neck "Damon." She giggled
"Aunt Jenna is getting tipsy." He noted but he didn't move from where he was standing.
"Yeah, I noticed. Will you stop playing with her alcohol?" Grace asked.
"I want her to like me." He nipped the base of her neck.
"How is operation Lockwood coming along?" Grace tilted her head as she plated the pie.
"He's my new BFF." Damon grinned as Jenna walked in the kitchen almost stumbling, but she caught herself on the side.
"Isn't this fun?" Jenna told them both.
"Yes, thank you so much for inviting me." Damon replied in his best human voice.
"Did I have a choice?" Jenna placed her hands on her hips.
"I know what you must think of me-"
"No, you don't. I'm trying to protect her. She has not dated as many you's as I have." Jenna told him strictly.
"Jenna." Grace whispered blushing.
"I'm a work in progress." Damon raked his fingers through Grace's hand gently "She's helping me."
Grace reached into a draw and pulled out an incredibly sharp cake knife, Damon looks in there too and smiles to himself.
"These are fancy." Damon grinned.
"Thanks." Jenna replied "my mother's silver set." She explained grabbing another drink.
Grace turned quickly looking at Damon as he smirked at her taking a knife from the draw, the new-born vampire narrowed her eyes.
"Hearing the truth after a century and a half of denial must be overwhelming." Katherine smirked weakly.
"It wasn't real, I remember you compelling me." Stefan replied shaking his head.
"Only after I showed you who I really was. You were so scared of me; I had to take away your fear." She shrugged.
"Well, whatever feelings I had back then, they all turned to hate." Stefan growled.
"Love, hate, such a fine line, I can wait. Anyway, George Lockwood was causing all sorts of trouble. He used the vampires to cover up his own tracks. He told the founding families about us. But he was willing to strike a deal." Katherine continued the story.
"What kind of a deal?" Stefan questioned.
"A deal to rid the town of vampires." Katherine replied.
At the Salvatore Boarding House back in 1864. Fayth, Katherine and George were walking the grounds together.
"I just spoke to Giuseppe Salvatore. The round up happens tonight." George informed them.
"Good." Fayth nodded "Insist that they do a body count before the church is set ablaze."
"I will." George nodded.
"27 vampires." Fayth told him.
"Once the flames create chaos, crawl to the exit under the quire loft. I'll be there to set you free." George told her.
"Make sure you're not followed." Fayth replied to him "We need everyone to believe we perished in that fire..."
"You knew they were going to burn the vampires in the church?" Stefan questioned the story.
"Fayth practically lit the match." A small smirk fell from the older vampires lips.
"They were your friends, they were your family and you both just sold them out." Stefan shook his head at her disloyalty.
"Without blinking." Katherine replied.
Damon brought the cake over to the table setting it down with a sharp silver knife next to it, Grace saw Mason stiffen from where he sat across from her as Damon took a seat.
"Mason, why don't you start us off?" Damon offered.
"Sure." Mason smiled leaning forward to just grab a slice of cake with his hands, everyone watched confused by his actions he smiled "I apologize, I'm an animal." he dug in.
Damon gritted his teeth and Grace rubbed his hand gently, Alaric watched the man sit next to Jenna snickering.
"So Mason, you and Jenna never dated?" Alaric rose an eye brow.
"She was always lost in Logan Fell land." Mason replied with a full mouth.
"my first mistake." Jenna laughed from where she sat "Mason was a catch; he had girls lining up."
"Really? I always pegged you for a lone wolf." Damon noted and Grace kicked him under the table.
"I'm sure I wasn't half the lady killer you were." Mason retorted making Grace's eyes grow wide and Damon's mouth fall ajar "How about a toast? To new friends." He held his glass up.
"Would I be the worst friend in the world if I abandoned you and went to Stefan's?" Elena asked as she was packing away the dictionary game in the living room.
"You want to leave?" Caroline looked at her.
"It's just he hasn't got back to me and I'm starting to get this bad feeling." Elena replied.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Elena." Caroline shook her blonde head.
"Grace has got Damon under control here." Elena shrugged.
"Take it from me, there's nothing worse than a clingy girlfriend." Caroline laughed trying to push Elena away from the idea.
"I'm not being clingy, I'm just concerned. You understand, right?" Elena asked creasing her eye brows.
"How about I drive you?" Caroline offered forming a plan.
"Yeah, ok. That'll be great." Elena smiled.
Walking out to Caroline's car Elena got in first looking at her phone, Caroline walked around and dropped her keys to the floor, as she bent down to pick them up she pulled the tab out of the tire and it began to deflate.
"What did George get in return? For giving you your freedom." Stefan questioned curiously.
"Something he wanted desperately." Katherine replied.
"So you sent 26 of your friends to their death, just to fake your own? No, you were running from something. What was it?" Stefan moved towards her.
"Everyone has a past, Stefan. Mine needed to stay far far away but thanks to you my plan nearly failed before it even began. Once George told me that the round up was imminent, I made sure I could see you one last time, but your father used your love for me against you, he poisoned your blood. Then Damon being Damon, nearly ruined everything." She recalled Damon attempting to save Fayth.
"We came for you both, we tried to save you." Stefan growled angrily.
"We didn't want to be saved." katherine retorted.
"So then Damon and I died for nothing! For nothing!" He repeated.
"No, Stefan, you died for love!" She referred just to him, not Damon.
Damon was standing in the kitchen mauling over his plan when Mason walked in the room smiling at him.
"Jenna and Grace just brought out 'Guitar Hero'." Mason smirked shaking his head "It's them two against me and Alaric not wanting to play it, we need a deciding vote, man."
"I for one happen to always go with Grace's team... So you, my friend, are barking up the wrong tree." A smug smile fell over Damon's lips.
"Ok." Mason held his hands up "Enough innuendos, you win, you're hilarious."
"Thank you." Damon smirked.
"Come on, man. You don't think I know what this barbecue is about?" Mason shook his head.
"How do you know about me? Your brother was clueless." Damon creased his eye brows.
"It doesn't matter; I'm not your enemy, Damon." Mason replied.
"You killed Grace. That does matter to me." Damon growled stepping towards him and Grace quickly walked in the room stepping between them.
"Damon." She warned him.
"It was a mistake. I'm so sorry." The werewolf looked down at Grace.
"Really?" Damon scoffed.
"Damon, don't so this." Grace warned pressing her hands into his chest "Please."
"There was a confusion; I couldn't chain myself up in time. I have no control once I shift." Mason informed him stepping back.
"What, no obedience school?" Damon glared.
"I'm serious. Let's no spark some age old feud that doesn't apply to us." Mason looked at him.
"We should listen to him." Grace whispered.
"No. You're dead because he couldn't control himself." Damon looked down at her intensely.
"I wouldn't have done if it I could have controlled myself." Mason replied "I don't want a war, Damon. You should listen to your girl."
"You expect me to believe that you are in Mystic Falls planting peach trees?" Damon rolled his icy blue eyes that were intense with anger.
"I lost my brother, my nephew lost his father. I'm here for my family. Let's be above this." Mason asked hopeful holding his hand out to call it truce and Grace nodded.
"Damon." She whispered.
Rolling his eyes shaking the werewolves hand, Grace smiled up at the older vampire and he glared down at her, Mason walked from the room.
"Thank you." Grace smiled standing on her tip toes to kiss his lips, but he continued to keep them a straight line.
"You're making me go soft." Damon crossed his arms over his chest.
"What? Normally you would have ripped his throat out in the middle of the house?" Grace smirked.
"Probably." Damon replied looking down at her "Go kick Alaric's ass at guitar hero, I got to call Stefan."
"Alright." Grace skipped from the room giggling to herself.
Damon waited until she had left the room before letting a sign drop from his lips and walking over to the cutlery draw, reaching in her pulled out the sharp, pure silver knife from earlier.
Caroline was driving to the Salvatore Boarding House with Elena in the passenger seat, turning up the music Caroline bobbed her head to it.
"Thanks for this, I appreciate it." Elena smiled at her blonde friend.
"Here we come, to the rescue." Caroline gulped.
"why are you being so snippy?" Elena creased her eye brows.
"That's my own drama. I'm sure that you two will beat the odds. Not that there is any study to pull odds from. What is the ratio of success vampire-human coupling? I'm guessing nil..." Caroline shrugged.
"Ok Caroline." Elena turned to face her head out the window.
"Sorry." Caroline mumbled.
"I love this song." Elena noted turning up the radio even more, Caroline smiled and pressed a button on her steering wheel.
"What's playing?" Caroline asked the voiceover.
"playing 'We Radiate' by Goldfrapp." The voiceover replied.
"Ta-da." Caroline smiled when suddenly a tire burst and she came to a stop "oh crap." She muttered and Elena groaned heavily.
"No more takers for drinks at the grill?" Mason looked at the room, Jenna shook her head, Alaric denied too and Grace shrugged.
"Not old enough." Grace replied.
"It's like I'm with a bunch of adults here." Mason smirked.
"I prefer the term 'role model'." Jenna's eyes set on Grace and Mason laughed.
"Ok. Well, thanks for having me, it was awesome." Mason hugged the two girls "Alaric." he pulled back "Catch that game next week."
"Yeah, I look forward to it." Alaric replied smiling as Mason walked from the house.
"You know, I should probably head out too." Damon walked from the kitchen staring down at the newborn Vampire "see you later on?"
"Alright." Grace blushed as she saw Jenna smirk, Damon ducked his head down and kissed her softly.
"Jenna." Damon turned to his host "You were a wonderful hostess." He kissed her hand smoothly and Jenna giggled pulling her hand back.
"And you are a terrible artist." Jenna retorted.
"is that the only thing that makes me terrible?" Damon asked hopeful.
"I'm still deciding." Jenna replied looking coyly at Grace.
"Good enough for me. Alaric, let's not catch that game next week." Damon smirked as he walked from the house too.
"I'd better be getting home too." Grace noted.
"You sure that's such a good idea? You'd have to walk." Alaric told her.
"It's fine." Grace shrugged "I'll be fine."
"Are you sure? Don't feel as if you have to leave-"
"Jenna." Grace giggled "I really need to get going, my house needs sorting out, I haven't been there in a while."
"Are you sure the tow's coming? We've been waiting forever." Elena noted looking at her phone.
"I know, it's weird. They said they'd be here by now." Caroline shrugged.
"Yeah. I'm just gonna call Grace, see if she can come and get us." Elena called her.
"No!" Caroline called and Elena stopped "Let me try the tow people again. And I'll use my mad girl voice." She smiled.
"Can we just walk from here?" Elena squinted into the distance.
"I can't just leave my car." The blonde shook her head.
"We'll come back for it." Elena replied.
"Just give me a minute, Elena." Caroline snapped.
"Caroline, what part of 'I'm worried about Stefan' didn't sink in?" Elena replied sharply.
"What's the rush? Why are you hurrying to get to a relationship that will never work?" Caroline narrowed her eyes.
"Okay, look. I know that you're upset over Matt but will you stop projecting it onto me and Stefan please?" Elena shook her head.
"I'm not projecting anything! You're human, he's a vampire. You're gonna be 70 and in diapers and he's still gonna be smoking hot and you will never have his children, Elena! And you are too maternal to not have children!" Caroline burst.
"Where is this coming from?" Elena shook her head.
"I'm just trying to be your friend." Caroline replied.
"Okay, well, do me a favour and stop trying." Elena hissed as a truck pulled up beside them.
"There's the tow, I'm going to call Grace." Elena walked on.
"No, Elena, don't!" Caroline caught Elena's arm gripping it tightly.
"Caroline, you're hurting me." Elena told her in a hushed voice.
"Don't leave me alone." Caroline's eyes were wide.
"What's wrong with you?" Elena creased her eye brows snatching her arm back.
"Hey there, someone called about a flat tire?" A man asked from the window of his tow truck.
Elena stared daggers at Caroline "She did." She spat before grabbing her phone out.
Grace stood on the porch to her house, unlocking it with her key she went to walk it but was stopped again, a groan fell from her lips.
"No." She moaned pressing herself against the barrier "C'mon, don't do this. I own the house! Well it's in my grans name, but I lived here before!" She spoke to herself as her phone began to ring "Damon, I have a problem-" Grace was cut off when Elena spoke "Oh, Elena... sure I'll be right there... where are you?... alright." Grace managed to pull the doors closed and grabbed her keys which luckily had her cars keys on too.
Mason pulled up at the Mystic Grill parking in the far corner of the car park, hearing footsteps from behind him he turned to see Damon.
"Damon? What? More dog jokes?" Mason rolled his eyes smirking.
"Nah, those got old." Damon replied shoving the silver knife into his chest, Mason fell to the floor, but just pulled the knife from his chest casually.
"You know, I think it was werewolves that started this whole silver myth... Probably for moments like this." Mason noted as he rose from the ground.
"Dully noted." Damon spat through his teeth.
"I was really looking forward to last call." Mason touched the blood staining his T-shirt "Now you made an enemy." He growled walking past him.
"Are you gonna tell me why you came back here or you're just playing another game?" Stefan asked fed up now.
"Have you not heard a word that I've said? I've answered that question 5 times over now." Katherine rolled her eyes.
"Oh good, make it six." Stefan nodded.
"I want what I want, Stefan and I don't care what I have to do to get it. My list of victims is a long one, and I have no problem adding one more name to that list." Katherine grinned referring to Elena "although I guess I'll have to cross one off, with Grace being dead an all."
"You didn't hear? Grace is a vampire now... I forgot to tell you." Katharine's mouth dropped ajar "Come on Katherine. If you wanted Elena dead, you would have done it by now." He shrugged.
"Still can. If I have to, I will snap her neck like a twig and you know it." Katherine growled threateningly and he rushed towards her with a stake in hand, but couldn't kill her, so he dropped it to the floor.
"I guess you don't hate me as much as you thought you did. I don't want you seeing Elena anymore. If you don't remove from your life, I will kill everyone that she loves while she watches and then I will kill her while you watch." Katherine spat he rushes over her again and strangles her. His face has changed and he has a stake in his hands again.
"Don't you ever think for one moment that I will not kill you." He growled menacingly.
"I wouldn't if I were you." Fayth growled as she stood at the doorway "So this is were you've been all day." She sauntered in the room and Stefan stepped back away from the other twin "Cosy." She noted sarcastically untying her sister.
"I have been sipping vervain every single day for the last 145 years. You caught me by surprise once, I wasn't gonna let it happen again. It doesn't hurt me, Stefan." Katherine grinned.
"What? Why?" Stefan's eyes widened.
"I told you, I missed you Stefan. I just wanted to spend some time with you" Katherine grinned romantically.
They all heard the front door open, Elena called out into the house for Stefan, quickly Fayth stabbed a stake into his leg and they both exited the room quickly.
Upstairs Grace sat on the arm of the couch flickering through a book whilst Elena stood there, she turned when she hard a noise behind her.
"You must be Elena." Katherine stood there, immediately Grace stood up protectively, but Fayth was then stood next to her sister.
"Grace, I assume." Fayth smirked.
"How is this possible." Elena's mouth fell open "How do we look exactly alike?"
"You're asking the room questions." Fayth shook her head at the girl "I heard you died..." She looked Grace from head to foot.
"Mmm." Grace nodded "Luckily I'm still here."
"Lucky isn't the word I'd use." Fayth replied darkening her face.
"Grace? Elena!" Stefan walked on the room and the doppelgänger disappeared from sight.
"Are you ok?" Stefan looked between them both.
"Fine." Grace muttered looking at her phone, she had a message from Damon "I have to go."
"Where?" Elena asked.
"Damon." She wiggled her phone before leaving.
"Are you ok?" Stefan looked at Elena hugging her careful not to get blood on her clothes from his healing wound.
"No. Not really." Elena breathed out "Are you?"
"Not really." He replied.
Caroline was in the Mystic Grill bathroom looking in the mirror at herself scared, suddenly Fayth and Katherine were standing behind her, she jolted.
"Katherine. Fayth." Her voice shook.
"Care to share how you couldn't follow through with one simple task." Fayth spat baring her fangs.
"I'm tried ok? But I couldn't exactly kidnap my best friend." Caroline replied fearing her immortal life.
"Occupy her. That's all I ask, but her and that twin show up and ruin everything." Katherine hissed.
"I told her that her relationship was doomed and all that mortality stuff. I think... I really think that I got to her." Caroline nodded her her.
"I hope so." Katherine's voice was low and threatening "Because let's not forget. We already killed you once; we can easily do it again." She glared.
Tyler was searching up about the moonstone that he currently had and that his Uncle Mason was searching for.
"How was that barbecue?" Tyler asked as he heard Mason enter the room shutting his laptop quickly.
"Not great. Are you still pissed?" Mason questioned.
"Are you still keeping secrets?" Tyler retorted.
"Yep." Mason nodded.
"Then I'm still pissed. Hey, you know I was thinking about that stone you were looking for. I might know a couple places it could be." Tyler informed him.
"Do you think this is a joke? If you know where it is then tell me." Mason growled.
"Tell me how the curse's trigger." Tyler shrugged.
"If I tell you, you won't be able to think about anything else. I don't want that for you." Mason replied protectively.
"I think I can handle knowing." Tyler smirked.
"You think that you can handle it, tough guy? You have no idea." Mason smirked.
"You want your stupid rock or not?" Tyler stood up, but as soon as the words left his mouth his uncle slammed him back against the wall.
"Tell me where it is!" Mason ordered.
"Tell me what triggers the curse!" Tyler yelled.
"You have to kill somebody!" he finally replied shaking his head "Human blood! You take another person's life away from them and then the curse is yours forever! Can you handle that?" Mason growled as he walked away.
Caroline was sitting alone at a table when Grace walked in, Damon motioned for her to come over and Grace walked there taking a seat.
"What's wrong?" Damon looked at her sensing something was wrong.
"I can't get into my house." Grace told him the small thing first.
"Oh." Damon chuckled "I thought it was something bad-"
"I met her." Grace whispered "She was there, right in front of me. Staring at me."
"Who?" Damon creased his eye brows.
"F-Fayth." Grace stuttered over the word "it was... I can't even explain it." She covered her face "I-I. Oh God."
"Hey. Hey." Damon rubbed her back "It's alright."
"Why did you want me here?" Grace peaked through her fingers.
"I need to confess something." Damon hesitated "I may have upset our good friend Mason Lockwood."
Grace groaned into her hands "How?"
"I stabbed him with you Aunt Jenna's silver knife." Damon shrugged and Grace glanced over at him he grinned gently "Just a heads up, silver does not work on wolves."
"Damon, I asked you. I thought we came to an agreement." Grace's hands fell down onto the table "Why?"
"Because... He deserved it. He took your life, so I was going to take his." Damon shrugged.
Elena and Stefan walked into the grill when they were noticed by a lonely Caroline, jumping from her seat to stand in front of Elena.
"Elena." Caroline smiled.
"Hey." Elena looked at her awkwardly, Stefan walked away from the both grabbing a table for him and Elena.
"Oh my God. I am so sorry about earlier today. I don't know what came over me." the blonde admitted.
"It's okay, Caroline. Everything that you were saying was right. It's just hard for me to hear, you know?" Elena nodded.
"So… you're not mad at me?" The Blonde's eyes lit up.
"You were just being a good friend…in your own way." Elena shrugged.
"My own head case, horrible way. Elena, I really am sorry." Caroline was genuine.
Nodding Elena walked away from her friends and joined her boyfriend at the table he was sat at, her smile dropped.
"I'm starving." Stefan noted.
"Well, spending the day with your jealous ex will do that to you." Elena replied snidely.
"Listen, I know you're upset but we have to take her seriously. Today, was all about the lengths she would go to." Stefan told Elena.
"If she was going to hurt me, she would have. I was standing right in front of her." Elena retorted "Grace was there too and she could have done nothing to stop it."
"Elena, you caught her off guard. It doesn't mean that you're safe." Stefan replied.
"I'm not afraid of her." Elena told him stubbornly.
"Well, you should be." Stefan snapped.
"If Katherine had her way, we'd be breaking up right now." Elena added.
"If today taught me anything, is that Katherine is used to getting her way." Stefan shrugged.
"You're not actually saying that we should what she says?" Elena asked in disbelief.
"Listen, she's sadistic, okay? She threatened you, she threatened everyone." Stefan tried to explain.
"Yeah, no, I get it. She's dangerous. But every day that we are together, it's dangerous. Why are you giving her so much power over our relationship?" Elena asked.
"This is the reality of our situation." Stefan replied.
"Well, reality sucks." Elena spat.
Caroline was sitting there gob smacked at their conversation, they were going to break up over something she had done.
"This is what she wants. She wants us to fight. She wants to get between us." Elena tried to reason.
"She already has, Elena." Stefan whispered.
After a long pause Elena let out breath as she got up and left the Grill, Grace was about to get up and run after her, but Damon stopped her.
"Don't. She'll need to be alone now." Damon told her "I'll go bring the car around."
"Alright." Grace yawned.
Damon walked outside walking over to his car when Fayth stepped out of the darkness smiling at him.
"Bad day?" She pouted.
"Bad century. I heard you were on the loose." Damon growled.
"What's the matter? Jealous that Stefan got to spend the whole day with Katherine?" Fayth smirked.
"I don't do jealous. Not with you, not anymore." Damon narrowed his eyes.
"Then why so pouty?" Fayth tilted her head.
"I tried to kill a werewolf, I failed. Now I feel like I'm not living up to my best self." Damon explained.
"Well, werewolves aren't easy prey." Fayth reasoned.
"What do you know about werewolves?" Damon stepped towards her.
"Why don't you ask your brother? Don't try to be the hero, Damon. You'll end up dead." Fayth noted.
"Been there, done that. At least this time it'll worth it." He referred to Grace as he walked away from her.
Elena was up in her bedroom, the window was wide open and she paced the floor counting her steps waiting... Stefan suddenly arrived through the window.
"Are you okay?" Stefan asked and she quickly ran into his arms embracing him tight.
"I hated that fight." She whispered into the crook on his shoulder.
"I know me too. It felt too real." Stefan replied kissing the top of her head.
"Did you see Caroline?" Elena asked.
"Yeah." Stefan nodded.
"We were right. Katherine and Fayth got to her. She was hanging on to every single word." Elena noted.
"It won't be long before Katherine gets a play by play." Stefan rolled his hazel eyes.
"I wish I was wrong but I know Caroline too well. It was so obvious that something was up today." Elena nodded.
"You're not wrong. It's pure Katherine. She's always finding somebody to do her and Fayth's dirty work." Stefan shook his head.
"I think Damon and Grace was listening to us fight too. Are you gonna tell them that it wasn't real?" Elena looked up at him.
"The only way Katherine is gonna believe it is if everybody believes it. That's the best way to make her think she's getting what she wants." Stefan replied pecking her lips.
"All this…just to get you back." Elena creased her eye brows.
"It's not why she's here, okay? If that is the case then why is Fayth here too? No matter what she says, I know her. Katherine doesn't care about anybody but herself, she never has. She's incapable of love. She's here for another reason." Stefan noted.
Katherine was walking alone in Mystic Falls staring up at the bright crescent moon smiling to herself thinking of a memory.
Katherine was with her sister in the woods, she turned to see Stefan and Damon dead on the floor, George Lockwood approached the two.
"George." Fayth nodded.
"Your carriage is waiting." he informed the two.
"All done, George. Thank you." She nodded.
"Now it's you part of the deal." George looked at her.
"If anyone learns of out escape, I will find you and I will kill you. Don't think that I won't." Fayth spat as she passed him the moonstone.
"We should take each others secrets to the grave. Now, you must hurry." George told her walking away with Fayth, Katherine quickly ran over to Stefan's body and touched his face gently.
"I love you, Stefan. We will be together again, I promise." She whispered the words from Stefan's dream.
"Katrina." Fayth hissed her real name from the brush of the forest.
Placing a chaste kiss on his lips she quickly got up stepping over the brothers bodies and running to be with her sister.
Damon moved Grace back into the bed as she dug her long fingers nails into his back deepening the kiss more, hooking his hands in her belt loops he pulled them down leaving her in her panties and bra.
"Mmm." Grace moaned as he nipped at her neck licking the dry blood from where she had just drained a blood pouch "I think we should stop before we go too far." She breathed.
Damon groaned loudly but respected her wishes falling on the bed next to her staring at the ceiling, Grace giggled and placed a small kiss on his lips.
"I like this. Us." Damon nodded.
"Me, too." Grace blushed "I just feel bad for Elena and Stefan. Fighting like that. They're turning into us."
A/N
Sorry that is took so long! It just didn't feel right the first time I wrote it, I'm a happier with it now. Grace and Damon are together. Finally, I love writing their scenes, it's so much fun! But them seem to be moving slowly which is always good.
Anywhoo! Please review, alert and fav! Quite a few of you did last time which made me smile so thank you! And I hope you enjoyed...
