Katherine quickly put on her clothes as Damon carried Elena upstairs. “You can lay her down on my bed, I’ll sleep on the couch” Stefan said. Damon held his steps, but didn’t turn around. Then he walked further to Stefan’s room where he lay Elena down on Stefan’s bed. He took off her shoes and left. He went to Elena’s room-yes, she had her own room in the house-and collected the dirty sheets, which had been lying there since morning.
Downstairs Stefan was furious at Katherine.
“See what you’ve done? Now Elena will think I cheated on her and I didn’t do anything!” he raged.
“She’s sleeping, Stefan! She didn’t see shit!” Katherine shot back.
“When will you get it in your head that I have no interest in you whatsoever? If you’re so eager on having someone to play with, try Damon” Stefan fired.
“That’s low, even for you” Katherine said. She got up to open the door; someone had ringed. A short, blonde girl was standing in the doorway. Her face was wet of crying. “Hello, I…eh…I need to talk to Stefan Salvatore”
Katherine raised her eyebrows and looked down on the visitor. “Who’s asking?” she said arrogant.
“Kelsey Lindy” Kelsey said who succeeded in keeping her voice under control.
“Let her in, Kat” Stefan said and Katherine reluctantly step aside. Kelsey walked into the room and Stefan got up. “I’m really sorry for what happened to your sister. You are her sister, right?”
Kelsey only nodded.
“I never meant for anything fatal to happen to her” Stefan continued.
“And that makes it okay?” Kelsey now said.
“No! Not at all! I’m not trying to make excuses” Stefan hastily said.
“Good” Kelsey said. “I couldn’t bear to hear them”
Katherine slammed the door and Stefan looked up. “Can you cut to the chase, dear, we don’t have all night”
Kelsey ignored her. “In ten minutes the moon will rise and I will turn. I should bite you and make you suffer the way Amber has suffered”
“I understand your pain” Stefan said, but Kelsey covered her ears not to hear it.
“Stop trying to talk yourself out of it! Stop trying to pretend you know how I feel! You can’t possibly know!” she cried. She breathed heavily. “You’re lucky I’m not like you. I don’t play with people, I don’t manipulate them, I don’t use them for my own personal gain, I don’t make them suffer”
“Tick tock, tick tock” Katherine teased. She yawned. “Stefan, please, snap her neck, rip her heart out, liberate her from her pain”
“Speaking of hearts…” Kelsey conjured a stake out of her pocket, the stake Derek had given her. She aimed for Stefan’s heart, but the moment she wanted to stake, she gasped. Her eyes bulged and blood came out of her mouth.

Katherine was sitting on a chair. A row of small stakes pinched each arm to the arm-rests and a special kind of muzzle kept her mouth shut. The muzzle also had stakes, smaller than the arm stakes, and they pierced through Katherine’s jaws. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience” Veronica said demeaning. “Actually, I’m not. You had this coming. You broke in here, you threatened me” She took a chair and put it down in front of Katherine. “Such a pity Derek chose the wrong side. If he hadn’t Damon Salvatore would be sitting next to you”
Katherine managed to produce a smirk.
“Oh, don’t be so smug” Veronica sniffed. “I’ll get to him. He’s the one that killed Kelsey. He will die a slow and painful death” she said, more to herself than to Katherine. She stood up and walked to a corner, where she picked up her cross-bow. “In the meantime” she said, while she aimed the crossbow at Katherine. “I have you to have fun with” and she fired.

Damon raced outside and got into his car. He turned around the keys and drove onto the street. He then pushed the accelerator pedal and raced ahead.
He tried to keep his eyes open. He should have drunken some blood, if only just a little bit. He could almost feel his body breaking inside. But he had to stay awake long enough to get to the hospital.
Other drivers were hooting, because he drove from right to left and from left to right.
“Where did you get your driving license?!” someone yelled angry.
Damon felt his eyes fall down. The car drove for another few yards, while other drivers tried to avoid it.
Then the car drove off the road, turned over three times, landed on its upper side and caught fire.
