The Fox Doppelganger TVD

Rebekah's chest rose up and down in anger. "What did you say? I don't deserve a child of my own just because I have a temper? You miserable twat....how dare you curse me!"

"Eh? This one is still full of spirit after being cut in half. You bounce back rather quickly Miss Mikelson." Katherine chuckles.

"Don't change the subject. Can your wolves get me pregnant or not?!" The question came just as June sneaks in from leaving school early. June froze, petrified by what Rebekah had just asked.

"You are scaring the kids Rebekah with your insistent wailing. Who in the world would shout such a question?" Katherine looked to June and narrowed her eyes.

Katherine reached out for him and his body flew toward her hand. He tries to jump into a nearby shadow but Katherine has already caught him. "Why the hell are you here? School is not over yet. Are you itching for extra training?" Katherine asked with narrowed eyes.

"Clan leader, I bring news." June acts as if he wasn't just trying to sneak upstairs without being seen. Katherine doesn't let him go.

"I am telling the truth, there was a big scene between the Salvatore brothers and the doppelganger, it's all over the school gossip. I came to tell you this personally so you can come and enjoy the drama." He says with a righteous tone.

"And leave the Mikaelson lunatics in my home unsupervised? Besides, what could be so juicy you'd forsake football practice? Isn't that why you leave training early so you can learn that sport?"

"Get this, Elana tried to have sex with Stefan in the school and a naughty girl who doesn't like Elena called Damon to come over when she saw him waiting for her at the school gate. It turned into this big mess." June said with a gossipy tone.

"Yeah. So?" Katherine asked.

"Well, we all heard her say she loves them both and doesn't see why she needs to choose." June said in a hash tone.

"What? That wrench! How dare she?!" Rebekah said as she wanted to leave but Katherine threw June towards the door.

"Go to school. And find yourself a girlfriend. Don't pay too much attention to those people. Do you here? Bring someone nice for dinner and stop playing in the shadows so much. You are turning invisible among your own peers." Katherine sat down.

"Why are you annoyed?" She looked at Rebekah who just snorted.

"It isn't his fault that he forgot you. Besides, Stefan will associate you with a time he would rather pretend never happened so forget him and find a nice boy to settle down with." Katherine said in that annoying wise tone.

"What do you know? You are busy blackmailing my poor brother into marriage because no one wants you." Rebekah said with hostility.

"What do I know? I know Stefan Salvatore, that is what I know. He hides from his ripper and pretends it's not there. So when his humanity switch comes on again, he wants all that reminds him of what he did to disappear."

"What does that has to do with me?"

"He had his humanity switch off when he was with you. You remind him of that time. Whatever relationship you want with him will not work."

"Listen to her Rebekah. I dislike that boy as well. He hangs on Elena's every word as if it is the law. He will only hurt you." Elijah said with a flick of a magazine.

"Don't agree with her over me. Why would he like her and not me?" Rebekah sat down with dejection.

"Well, Elena is human. She is pure and kind. He doesn't like himself so he can reinvent himself with her and be someone else." Katherine said.

"That's right, I heard you loved him dearly once? In fact they say you still love him." Rebekah poked.

"I did love him, in my own way. But how can someone like me at the time ever hope to love anyone? I was afraid of my own shadow that time. Not to mention, his love almost got me killed once." She said without shame.

"You loved him?" Elijah looked at her. "What about Damon?"

Katherine smiles at his interest. "I loved them both. Just like her." Elijah showed surprise at her admission.

"Once you know them both, you will realize they are very different just like a coin. Two extremes. They....balance each other."

"That sounds like an excuse to be slutty. Honestly I can not believe you want to put your paws on my brother." Rebekah poked.

"Perhaps." She said unbothered.

"What do you mean two extremes." Elijah asked with interest. 

"When I met Stefan it was like the moment written in a fairy tale. All the butterflies in the stomach, the longing and the intensity of it all. Those kind of feelings one gets but never able to describe."

"What about Damon?" Rebekah pressed.

"When I met Damon I saw how he loved his brother, I didn't know at the time that their father hated him and would beat him to a pulp for seemingly no reason. So, Stefan was his one emotional anchor. That one thing you hold on to when you feel like you are drowning and everyone around you is sinking along with you."

"So, you went after him knowing your actions may break that bond? How ruthless." Elijah said.

"No, I didn't know he was abused. When I met him I saw a way out." Katherine said confusing the siblings.

"I knew the way I was going at it with Stefan will end in my death. Or worse, that lunatic you call a brother will come for him. The way he adored his brother I was sure he would never go against him for a strange creature of the night. Boy was I wrong." She chuckled self deprecatingly. 

"I used Damon so Stefan will gain a less favorable impression of me. You see, it is easier when they hate you. There is no way for you to make up. But Damon surprised me."

"What?" Rebekah gets impatient.

"Mortals are very scared of vampires and the idea of someone drinking their blood and killing innocents will sever anything good they ever felt for you. So I would sleep with his brother and then show his brother my true face. That way they will bond over what a monster I am.

One night I took Damon an a romantic walk and a carriage drove by. I massacred everyone inside, drained their blood while he watched. You see, I wanted him to know exactly what I am. I turned my face still covered in the blood of the innocents and my vampire fangs in full display. The moment of truth had come and I was ready to see him petrified and disgusted by me." 

"But when I looked into his eyes, he didn't just accept me he loved me even more for it. Caught off guard I Fell for him too. Can you imagine? Someone who will see the ugliest part of you and still love you with all they have?" She looked at the siblings.

"Moreover, Stefan had reacted exactly the way I had expected he would, so Damon really caught me off guard. The horror I had seen on Stefan's face was cancelled by Damon's affection and acceptance. How can I give him up? So I got selfish and wanted both ....."

"Even then, I had still underestimated his love for me. Because I had banked on his love for his brother to be there for him and they will live on as vampires. Maybe we will meet again. But instead he hated that I had even chosen to turn his brother as well and tormented him. By then I was already helpless, my own plans had began to take shape I couldn't be distracted." Adding truth and lies.

"Now?" Rebekah asked.

"I am sure I still love them somewhere deep down but what of it? I am not so bored as to compete with a child for their attention. Not to mention they are no longer the young humans I had once adored. A century has passed and many things have happened." Katherine said in conclusion.

"Are you certain? That you do not love them now?" Rebekah asked frowning. Can it be that she is holding on to the Stefan that she knew? It is obvious that man is different from the Stefan around Elena. If so, then how can she love him?

"Because I know the men they were back then and I know the men they are now. Stefan is a baggage and Damon well, actually there's nothing wrong with Damon. He is still the same, it is just too intense. Being loved by someone like him will surely destroy a snowflake like Elena. Damon is fire the kind that is akin to an inferno. That's how I knew Elena stood no chance." She smiled.

"Wait... are you saying she will choose Damon?" Rebekah widen her eyes.

"I would." She admitted.

"But she probably won't. Because she still has shame. Damon had done horrible things when he came to town in order to get me out of that tomb. Forgiving him is one thing but actually choosing him over his good, compassionate brother will make her look bad, for now anyways. She will get there soon enough." 

"Why not Stefan? If you loved him they way you described then why not him?" Elijah asked.

"Human Stefan was like the knights in the books, good, beautiful and passionate. His passion is suppressed as a vampire because he has to be incomplete control over his impulses. If he slips even for a moment, the consequences will be devastating."

"He is obsessed with Elena because she is safe to love, he is deeply in love with her and most importantly, there is no way a good human like her will cause him to give in to his dark impulses. She makes him feel an epic kind of love, like she was made for him. But he is mistaken to put his everything into the hands of a child like that. If she hurt him, how can he recover from that kind of devastation?"

"Even now, he will follow Elena's instructions and 'respect' her choices because he is rational and thinks with his head. It is practiced self control because he is a ripper. Sure a girl would love him but the ups and downs that young and passionate girls like Elena will want more. Stefan's next step is almost predictable because you expect him to do that, the right thing the honest way the way that you have asked of him."

"But Damon on the other hand...if a girl has been with Stefan she will yearn for a man like Damon."

"He sounds amazing." Elijah said.

"Then, why did you give him up? I heard all about how you picked Stefan when you came." Rebekah called bullshit.

"Stefan already had Elena and Damon needed to hate me." She smirked.

The siblings became dumbfounded. What she did seemed to have worked.

"But then why make amends?" Elijah asks.

"If you pay attention, I didn't ask for Damon's forgiveness. He can hate just as deeply as he can love. In that state he becomes unstable and out of control." Katherine said.

"Was all this because of Nicklaus?" Elijah asked.

"Perhaps, but maybe everyone should move on now, no? Besides I quite like the line up they have going on there."

"I don't buy it. If Damon is so amazing then why not bring him in here into your knew family?" Rebekah asked.

"Bringing him here will mean I have to be constantly around Elena and his brother who is insufferable. I wouldn't ask him to leave his family it is what had drawn me to him in the first place. He might have tormented his brother but he loves him."

"So your conclusion is that Elena will choose Damon and you are still in love with Damon? 

"I remember the feeling of being in love and it is not what I feel for Damon. I wouldn't love a man who is in love with another, that would be a miserable thing to go through. And my beast will probably have me massacre her and everyone who dares to compete for his love with me." She said with a tilted head.

The tone sent shivers up Elijah's spine. Why does it sound like a warning? but the way she said it made him want the taste of such a destructive kind of love. This is a dark temptation. You know it will destroy you but you can't help but want it all for yourself. 

"You would just go along with it?" Rebekah asked in surprise. She shivered at the definitive way Katherine had put the previous statement. 

"Probably because I'd agree with it." She admitted. 

"That is why I say that love is out of control and dangerous." Katherine said and Elijah stiffens.

"If she chooses Damon, then what's stopping me from being with Stefan?" Rebekah went back to obsessing over Stefan.

"Because you will be constantly compared to her. Most importantly you shouldn't have to lower yourself to fighting for a man with a child. Rebekah, you are a queen with an entire sire line of vampires resting on your shoulders. You are not just lowering yourself but raising her to being at the same level as you. She will go around saying you had gone after her seconds like a starved pet. It is degrading yourself. Find someone else. Someone who will put you first." Katherine lazily said.

"Umm....I don't know what to say." Rebekah became speechless.

"Love is not supposed to make you feel less capable. Less deserving and just less than what you really are. That is when the sweetness in the heart turns into a sour taste in the mouth." Katherine conclude leaving Rebekah with a thoughtful expression. 

"Mm.... Now, Elijah where were we?" She turned her attention towards Elijah.

"I was going to think about it some more." Elijah said

"In the meantime we are engaged and you will sleep in my room."

"Even if I agree, You can still sleep in my room instead." Her voice soft and gentle. Making people's hearts itch, Elijah answered back fast before he agrees to something just because of how nice she said it.

"Yes, I'd love to visit you at the none existing Mikaelson house. Besides, this house has a sound isolating rune in each room so we can be as loud as we want....hehe." She chuckles at Elijah's darkening expression.

"Excuse me while I poke my eyes out with a hot poker." Kol's ghost says on the side.

"I don't see why you are upset. The earlier I succeed in seducing him over the earlier you come back." Katherine rolls her eyes at him.

"Have you finally gone insane? Who are you rolling your eyes at?" Rebekah asks.

"Kol's ghost." Elijah says rubbing his eyes. He still has lingering effect of being stabbed in there. 

"He is in the house now?" Rebekah looked around.

"Brother can you convince Finn to give up this stupid idea of becoming mortal?" Klaus came back pointing at Finn who just grumbles and sits down.

"In fact, if Finn willingly gives up his immortality I can use that to bring back Kol and Elijah won't have to Marry me." Katherine says making everyone turn to her.

"Well, if I use my own means it will cost me greatly, which is why I demand payment." She blinked.

"This again, you are hell bent on destroying my family aren't you? Kill one brother, marry one brother and turn another mortal. It just never ends with you." Klaus bellowed.

"No, that is just a happy coincidence." Katherine smirks.

"My personal opinion is to retain your immortality dear Finn. The death of one Original has probably caused a shift and many interested parties are coming for you all."

"Think about it, killing one Original is akin to eliminating and entire sire line. I can think of a few hunters who will find this information interesting. In fact, the safest Original is the one whose already dead." She smiled at Klaus's increased gloomy aura.

"Witches hate vampires don't they, ow...and that mother of yours is causing quite the stare in the other side. She does want you dead doesn't she? Otherwise, she wouldn't have made Mikel the destroyer." Katherine laughed at their collective gasps.

"How do you know all that?" Klaus stalks up to her making her grin.

"Know thy enemy." She said. "I know at least a hundred ways to destroy you Klaus. I just couldn't be bothered and went for the most straightforward since I am stronger anyways. But I must say, your pain gives me a special kind of joy Nicklaus." She looks really happy.

"In any case, why don't you go and collect all available white oak materials out there? I'd hate for my Elijah to meet with an accident." She walked to the fridge and took out ice cream.

"She is not wrong Nicklaus, we should also ensure mother is safe." Elijah said as he got up followed by Rebekah.

"Don't be in such a hurry. My guys will be here for the transfer and you can all leave. Finn, you can stay here and become part of my clan once you become a witch. I will protect you." She smiles.

"Are you trying to sleep with him too?" Rebekah asks in anger.

"No, I just want him to leave Klaus's side and be here where it's safe." She smiled and looked at Klaus. "Then.....there were three."

Klaus couldn't hold it in and sped to her. But she slammed him on the floor with a ruthless round house kick to the chest shattering his chest bones.

She ran to Elijah who was ready to leave a moment ago but is now standing there surprised at the events. Rebekah is running to her brother while calling Katherine colorful insults.

Elijah who had been standing is sent to the seat by the weight on his lap. "Boo hoo, Elijah, your little brother is so mean. I'm so pitiful look he tried to hurt me." She blinked pitifully at him.

"You are the one who wouldn't stop provoking him." Elijah said calmly

"He could also use his words ah! Why must he bother with a small woman and try to beat me? So scary." She shakes her body inside Elijah's arms.

Finn stood there speechless. Are women all this unreasonable these days? Can he really trust her with his life? She seems rather unreliable. But her way of handling Nicklaus is very entertaining.

Nicklaus ended up needing a few hours to recover since Katherine wouldn't give him enough blood supply. When he finally woke and ready to go out, Katherine's team of lawyers had come and made him spend hours with them completing the transfer.

"Thank you, see you around Nicklaus." Katherine waved at the Mikaelson siblings as they leave her home making it less stuffy. She misses Elijah though.

...

"Elena, that is not how it works. No man would want to share the woman they love with another man even if that man is their own brother." Caroline said with her hand on her hips.

"I don't know what came over me, but whatever I felt for the two of them has somehow intensified and I can't contain myself infront of them." She bit her nail in frustration.

"Well, congratulations they are both pissed at you." Bonnie looks at her friend with disappointment.

"Can you dial it down a bit with the judgment? I'm already horrified at the series of events." Elena said making Bonnie's eyes widen.

"I have a date." She left Elena and Caroline who seem distracted.

"Can it really be possible to fall for two people at once? If this really happens you'll be a legend." Caroline's eyes sparkled.

"I would be in a perfect position to write history as it happens." She mummers but Elena thinks she is mocking her.

"Are you serious? You think my life is not a joke enough as it is? Publishing it on history books will make you feel happy while they laugh at me? Is this because Stefan rejected you that time?" Elena folded her arms.

"Hehe...Stefan is not the prize Elena. I seem to have something to do as well." Caroline is about to leave when Elena came to her senses.

"Hey Care, sorry. Just don't leave me while I don't know what to do what if I go to the Salvatore house again?" Elena looked at her pleading.

"It is very hard to refuse those eyes, so annoying." Caroline grumbles. "Do you think Katherine will know what to do? She did just wipe the floor with the entirety of the Mikaelson siblings." She asks.

"And let her see me distraught? No, she will probably pop open a bottle of champagne at my expense."

"Well, I am useless here, I don't even know what is wrong." Caroline frowns.

.....

Where is it? I have known that my mother would not be defeated by something as obvious as death. Now I don't even know where she is, I am sure she couldn't have crawled out of the coffin and opened it from the inside, I had it spelled shut for a reason.

"I always felt uneasy with her death. The way she had spoken to me that time, as if she was batting me to kill her. She had said very hurtful things to a recently turned vampire werewolf hybrid whose werewolf side has just been suppressed and closed off from him.

She created Mikel to hunt him after cursing him and then bated him to kill her so that he would stop pestering her with removing the curse. Now she has probably come to finish what she started.

What did he ever do to deserve such a set of parents? Is being a hybrid so bad? But he didn't ask to be born this way, why is he the one getting all the pain? He was jus a child but he bared the brunt of all the hate and resentment for something he simply didn't ask for.

He looks at his family but is reminded of what he had seen in the place where Katherine resides. A pack of werewolves, a house full of laughter and warmth. It is even more amazing that they do not share the same blood. If a woman who had lost her family in such a violent manner is able to move passed it and create such a wonderful home for herself and surround herself with love and loyalty. What is stopping him from moving on?

What is it she said? Vengeance is a cycle. You might end up forgetting why you are fighting. He desperately wants to be free to let everything go. And for the first time in many centuries he learned something new from one of his enemies. He closed his eyes.

A man who doesn't know how to Express his love for his own family.

He doesn't want his own brother to believe that he would scatter his own family across the sea. He wants to find a way to show his affection for them. Each one of them should know they are indispensable in his heart. He knows where to start.

Before long he had secured a mansion where they can live as a family. He had a couple of designer companies take care of filling up the house with furniture and color. Everyone gets a room. Kol gets one as well.

He took his family to their new home but no one really appreciated the effort he had put in. They must assume he stole it using compulsion. This is clearly not enough. Klaus has been keeping himself busy with this matter he completely forgot about his mother. Elijah has been trying to find a lead of her whereabouts the entire time.

He got so tired that he even considered consulting with Katherine. Before he could stop himself he had laid down on her bed with her using his chest as a pillow. She sighed in contentment as she closed her eyes. She really is just using him as a sleeping pill.

"Katharina." He called lightly. Feeling her body stiffening on his chest he chuckles. He puts his hand on her back and rub slowly.

"I need advice. My mother seems to have vanished."

"Are you sure you should be talking to me about it?" She yawns cutely.

"Well Nick seems to be in denial or he is just decided not to care." Elijah sounds dejected.

"She probably wants to come back, to do that she will need to harness a strong power. This town may only have that 100 dead witches burial grounds. Or a powerful bloodline."

"But why would she decide to make an entrance now?"

"She probably doesn't want Klaus finding that way to make hybrids."

"But he isn't a wolf anymore."

"He still has his bloodline. His blood will probably still have the same effect, which means he can sire his hybrids if he can fix his little glitch." Katherine says with her eyes dropping.

"Why would she be hell bent on destroying Nicklaus though? I can understand father but she is his mother." But then remembers that Nicklaus had killed her. Now what? Dos he really have to kill his own mother when she come? This family is really....

"Katharina." There is no response from her making him helpless. This woman really thinks of him as a pillow to just be so defenseless in his presence.

He put her on the side and look at her, her long eye lashes, the lips and that cute nose. His eyes darken in need. She really is the temptress. Having her on his side seems like a good choice. Especially now with their enemies coming for them. But, can he keep her in check? Such a powerful woman should never be taken lightly.

The idea that she could belong to him is very enticing. Does she even know that once he does make that step, he will never let her off? She will belong only to him and he will accept nothing less.

"Nom...Nom..." Katherine seems to be dreaming about food again. He smiles, this it it for him. She has stolen his affection, again.

But his expression turned sour remembering her confession about having loved Stefan and Damon. He clenched his jaw wondering if he should make her his as soon as possible so that she will know not to mention other men in his presence.

His expression turns intense as a haze of impulse almost destroys his noble gentleness 'façade' as she calls it. She really just falls asleep in the presence of a dangerous predator such as himself like this?

"Katherine! Open the door." Damon shouted from the door unable to get inside. He is not alone. Stefan is there along with Elena, Bonnie and Caroline.

Elijah got up and put on his jacket. He is wearing the sleeping pajamas that match Katherine's. She had put them there and made him wear it when he comes over. No one else seems to be in the house, figures it is because of the upcoming holiday the next Monday.

He looked from the window and saw so many people down stairs. What could have happened. He opens the door. Smiling lightly at their surprised expressions.

"Elijah? What are you doing here?" Damon straight up asked the big questions.

"I sleep here now. The question is, what are you all doing here?" Elijah much to his delight saw Damon seethe with anger knowing he is with Katherine.

He understands now, messing with people gives a fresh feeling. No wonder that fox enjoys it so. Stefan looked a bit interested. "I saw you get stabbed in the face, the arms, the legs actually you got stabbed all over your entire body...by one of her wolves. And you still sleep with her.. fascinating." Stefan said mocking Elijah who didn't even glance at him.

"I came down to ask you people to please leave. She is sleeping, very soundly I might add."

"She must be tired huh?" Caroline spoke in a low voice.

"The weather is drizzling, why don't you all come back tomorrow?" Elijah asks

"Elijah, come back to bed." Katherine's voice came from upstairs but anyone can hear the sleepiness in it.

"Katherine! Come out and fix what you have done. If you fall back to sleep again I will..." *bang* The door closed in Damon's face.

"Bonnie, don't just stand there. Do something!" Damon got angrier.

"I am not a lock Smith." Bonnie said making Stefan laugh. Caroline also laughed.

"I am freezing out here, can we go back to bed?" Elena asked but her question made everyone look at her unhappily. After what she did she really has no shame to speak about going back to bed.

"Why are you awake?" Elijah took off his jacket and went bed. He got in there and saw a sinful image of Katherine in short pajamas not entirely covered. He swallowed.

Then he saw it, her hair moved out of her face revealing a sleeping Katherine. Then the cover on her moved out of the way then her thin pajama fabric on her shoulder moved down showing her beautiful skin. Elijah felt like being struck by a bolt of lightning.

What is this? Is there a ghost? Then he remembered his little brother who is dead had been granted entry into this property by Katherine for a while now. He quickly ran and covered her and then started whisper shout at the empty air.

"Are you insane? Do you want me to die? Touching her like that without her permission, have you completely lost your mind?" No one answerd but he felt the bed gain extra weight on the other side of Katherine.

"No, get out! What do you think you're doing?" Elijah looked like a crazy person shouting at an empty air. He decided to sleep and make sure nothing weird happens again.

Rubbing his forehead he can feel a headache coming. He tries to listen in and ensure nothing is moving around.

On the other side Kol looks at Katherine's sleeping form with fascination. She defeated his dick of a brother. He can't believe she is real. She first made his dream of daggering Nick come true and now she thoroughly beat him until he begged for mercy.

Kol couldn't believe it. He hated her and her little mutt pets but she is going to bring him back. What to do? So he stuck around to study her. The more he saw the deeper he found her to be an absolute mystery. Kol loves mysteries.

For instance, she is obviously a vampire fox beast but she can cast spells as well. She has a garden full of herbs that have magic aura. Her wolves can turn at will but are not vampires. She also cares for these people. The most fascinating part is that even after she defeated Nick, she didn't disgrace him or make outrageous demands. No, she took his wealth which is something he can get anytime.

He could see it in Nick as well, he appreciates the little fox more than he let's on. But the most dense is this brother of his, she is obviously seducing him even asking him to marry her but he is still staying away. Kol doesn't get it, she is obviously not ugly so why is she still sleeping alone? Why bother with a man who obviously keeps pushing her away?

So he is going to take her for himself. If he is with her, Nicklaus will never think to dagger him again. But most importantly, she is beautiful. Looking at her go about her live everyday has become an enjoyment of his. He knows what she eats, when she eats when she is sleepy but can't fall asleep.

She is plagued by bad dreams no doubt about the massacre of her entire family but it didn't make her full of hate. Instead she tries to rectify it. Tonight he saw the look Elijah is giving her, he couldn't help but be jealous. No, he wants her. His brother should go find someone else.

He had heard what she said about the Salvatore brothers and he got jealous the more he listened. Now he is out of ideas because she is enraptured with his brother because he can help her sleep. Can't he do that?

...

"Damon." Damon woke up to a very sexy Elena in his shirt. Only. He has dreamed of this moment several times, she would gently wake him and he would fulfill her every desire. He swallows after taking a whiff, she smells dripping wet. Who can tolerate this?

"Elena." He breaths out. His eyes show how hungry he is and not for blood. Seeing his reaction Elena impatiently tries to take off his shirt. She feels like she is drowning in need. She needs to touch him and feel his skin this moment.

Damon saw this and his own lust picked up. They met in the middle in a passionate kiss. Damon poured all his love and need for her into this kiss. Elena felt like she would be swallowed up by the intensity of Damon's feelings for her. She whimpers in the kiss, Damon took her to bed and showered her with all his attention.

His hands on her skin sent shivers of lust making them shake in anticipation. He really loves this girl. He loves her with everything that he has. Elena could do nothing but passively receive all that Damon is giving her.

He kissed her, loved her,...their bodies became a mingled single body at some point. Damon wouldn't let her look away from him. He loved her slowly and fast, he told her how beautiful she is and how much he loves her. Damon loved Elena all night until she passed out. A girl can only climax so much before she becomes dehydrated completely.

Elena woke up feeling like she had been hit by a train so Damon fed her his blood. She healed quickly and tried to jump him again. Damon, happy to comply heard Stefan cough outside the door. Elena stood there in all her naked glory until Damon had to force clothes on her.

Opening the door Damon is expecting his brother to punch him. But he is met with bag full next to Stefan. He realized his brother is leaving him and Elena. Damon had gone after Elena because he fell for her but he didn't stop to think what will become of his brother who love Elena just as much.

"What is this? Stefan, where are you going?" Elena is the first to ask.

"I can't stay here and hinder the two of you. How do I even stay here among the two people I love in the world who are breaking my heart?"

"Stefan.." Damon can see his brother's humanity is back.

"Why should you go? Stefan, this is your home. I love Damon but I love you too."

The two brothers didn't know what to say to this.

"Yes but the one you are in love with is not me anymore." Stefan said with heartache.

"I am in love with Damon, I am also in love with you too. That is why I couldn't choose."

Damon could hear his heart shattering at those words. The sweetness he had just felt a moment ago turned sour and a bitter taste in his mouth. How can this be the Elena who was so responsive to his every touch the night before. 

"You are brothers, is it very hard to love me and be loved by me together? Whatever I feel for Damon I have never stopped feeling for you. So, can you stay we can learn to love each other like this." Elena didn't see the color draining from the two brothers faces.

Damon who had thought he has won the fight, and Stefan who feels lost. This can not be Elena can it? She sounds like Katherine, Elena is kind and selfless, she would never say such words. Stefan looked at his brother who seems just as lost as he is. What the hell is going on.

They looked at each other and both said the said one word. "Katherine." She must have done something or said something to influence Elena to think like this.

"Elena, I'm going to ask you something and I need you to be honest with me." Damon looked at Elena with a burning gaze.

"Did you speak to Katherine by any chance?"

"No, I wouldn't go anywhere near that bitch. Honestly I don't see what you two saw in her, she is so revolting. Now she surrounds herself with pretty wolves that would occasionally beat up Original vampires. I am so jealous of her power though." Elena rants and the both brothers realize she is definitely acting strange.

"Hey, Elena. Why don't you tell me what you feel about Bonnie." Damon smiles

"I love her obviously but she is a little too judgmental most of the times." Elena closed her mouth with her hand. She looked at the two.

"What about Caroline?"

"Needy, always fighting me for Bonnie's attention. I mean clearly Bonnie likes me better. But she works hard, I am envious of her energy. Also it makes me exhausted just to look at her sometimes." Elena said.

Damon and Stefan exchanged looks.

"What is wrong?" She asked

"I don't see why you came to me." Caroline complained. Elena wants to say something but Damon closes her mouth.

"Katherine likes you better than most if not all of us. She will surely open the door for you." Damon says and Stefan nods. They turn to go to find Katherine only to bump into Klaus. who smiles at them.

"Good evening I see the gang is all here. I trust I need no introduction." He said with an irritating dimpled smile. 

"The day just keeps going down the drain hard." Stefan whines.

"Trust me old friend, I would like nothing than to be else where with some other people who are not you but something troubling has taken place. You see I went to battle with my siblings the other day and...."

"Haha yes the ass wooping that Katherine dealt your bunch was very entertaining to watch." Damon said and the others looked to be holding in their laughter.

"Katherine can as you say 'woop' me but you lot, not so much or have you lot forgotten our earlier encounters? should I be so kind as to remind you then?" Klaus asked with a dangerous under tone.

"What do you want? Just get on with it already, creepy 1000 year old guy on the street." Caroline said with annoyance thick in her tone.

Klaus looked at her with mild surprise. He smiles and speed to her grabs her by the throat but she sends a powerful punch to his gut. He stumbles over in surprise. It is not just him who is surprised but everyone is looking at her with incredulity.

"That is surprising. What a powerful young vampire....I remember you. Rebekah lost her arms for miss handling you. What was it she called you? Ah yes, her fledgling." He looks at her with more interest this time but soon remembers why he came.

"Something was stolen from my temporary residence and I want it back. Find it for me Bonnie or I'd hate what will happen to your charming little town." Klaus threatens but Stefan laughs.

"Something funny mate?" Klaus looks at Stefan with narrowed eyes.

"I am just thinking about what Katherine said once. You have no friends no allies and no body likes you. You lost something because of your carelessness instead of calling your own witch like Elijah or asking for help like a human being of any intelligent creature really. You had to cut off a group of children on the road and threaten their home. Honestly, what have you been doing this entire time alive?"

Stefan said something very bitter in Klaus's heart, so he sped to him and put him on the ground before he pummeled him until he couldn't be recognized anymore because of the blood on his face.

"Now, I know you all saw my defeat that day but I can still brutally murder the lot of you just fine. Tick tock." He disappeared from their sight.

"Wow, man you look awful." Caroline helped him up.

"And you were no help." Damon added.

"I just surprised him that time, do you think he wouldn't be ready for me the next time? You are older and more powerful than me, I didn't see you help your baby brother." Caroline rolled her eyes. These people don't change.

"I have to go talk to my mother." Bonnie said and tried to leave but Damon stopped her.

"Now Bonnie I am being very nice here. But you are not going anywhere else than where we are headed to."

"Wow. Klaus bullies you and you bully me?" She looks towards Elena who pretends she is not seeing anything making Caroline chuckle.

"What's funny Blondy?" Damon snarled at Caroline. Seeing this, Caroline punched him in the face. When she didn't feel better after one punch she didn't stop and continued until Stefan came and stopped her.

"You don't bully me any more Damon that time is long gone." She spat as Stefan pulled her away from Damon's mangled face.

"Caroline!" Elena shouted in reprimand but Caroline gave her a cold look.

"Shut up! You didn't say anything when he was bulling your best friend, the one who was ready to sacrifice her life for you when that animal came last time. You indulge him and now you are even sleeping with him. Shut up for me before I do something truly awful." Caroline said in a cold tone.

They walked towards Katherine's house, unbeknown to them Klaus is watching them. He grew fonder of this Caroline. Her spirit is very bright making him lose himself as he watched her beat down Damon with relish.

After thinking things through he came up with a possible way to make his hybrids and he will test it soon enough. It is a shame that Tyler got scared off by Katherine. That woman really is his bane. He decided to follow them all the way. He saw Elijah opening the door and the subsequent events.

Klaus also decided to hide his discovery since Katherine is an enemy and would probably use this information against him if she finds out. The fact his entire plan may rest in the hands of a fragile human girl makes him greet in frustration. He has to be smart and keep this information closely guarded so his plans will surprise those who underestimate him.

"Now can I go home?" Bonnie looked at Damon.

"Bonnie..." Elena tried to say something but Bonnie left.

Caroline didn't say anything and just left as well. Then there were three. Elena pulled both their hands and they walked in silence towards the Salvatore house. Stefan pulled his hand out of her hand and disappeared.

Damon took her to her own home. He can't stop hearing her voice crying out in pleasure the night before and then telling his brother that she loves him the nex morning. He didn't have anything to say to her.

He went to the bar. Someone is following him. "Vicky?" He asked but is blasted with a punch to the wall when he got up Vicky is gone. He looked around for a while and saw nothing. He contemplated telling this to Damon but remembering Elena in the house, he decided to go get a drink first.

For a fraction of a second he wants Vicky to find his brother and make him miserable. Even maybe kill him. Stefan will not admit it but he wanted Damon to die when he went home and found that happening in his own home. Elena had not even the decency to spare him this. Instead she is spouting nonsense abuse loving both of them.

Looking at the fact she can only speak the truth this must be what she really feels like. Stefan ridicules himself. It must have been like this when he repeatedly cursed at Katherine that time. This experience has shown him that he really does use Katherine as a shield to avoid all tha he is capable of.

He pushes all his distaste toward her and the blame so that he will not feel it is him who does all those things. At the very least Katherine has always been honest about the bad person she is. Elana had him thinking that Damon is the only one in love while she kept her feelings a secret.

Now that she has been denied the ability to lie she can't deceive him anymore and a layer is removed revealing what lays beneath. What lays within is a girl who wants to be with two guys at the same time. Stefan chuckles.

"You seem to be having a long night handsome stranger." A beautiful brunette sat next to him.

"I haven't seen you before." Stefan had his guard up.

"I'm Alex. I came to this place under orders. Clan business." She smiles and a dimple showed on her right cheek.

"Katherine?" Stefan asks.

"Ow? You know clan leader?" Alex smiled and then her smile stiffened. "You are not enemies with her are you?"

"No, An old friend actually." Stefan is quick to explain.

"Well, handsome old friend of clan leader, care to spend the night with me? I'm leaving tomorrow morning." Telling him she is not going to pester him.

"You didn't even ask for my name." Stefan raised an eyebrow.

"And I'm sure it is as lovely as you seem. What I care about most is what you can do Handsome stranger."

"Alright." Stefan didn't think about it for too long.
