One day after Stefan has joined Klaus.
Damon was lying in his bed, his eyes closed, when a shadow came over him. Soft lips touched his and he opened his eyes, staring at the brown ones of the woman he had loved for many years. He knew it was her; the other girl wouldn’t be so playful, especially not now her boyfriend was gone.
“Get off” Damon said, not in the least impressed by her lack of clothing. She held her head diagonally and put a teasing smile on her face. “Damon, Damon, Damon, you should know better than to say no to me. You know how … vicious I get when I don’t get what I want” She played her fingers around the buttons of his shirt he never took off the night before. Damon grabbed her fingers and nearly squeezed them. “I said, get off, Katherine. I don’t-” He didn’t get to finish his sentence, because Katherine firmly pressed her lips on his. “You were saying?” she asked, still with that teasing smile. Damon smiled as well. “You might want to leave” “Why?” she asked with a giggle. Suddenly she felt her skin boiling and burning. “Aaaaaaaaaah!” she screamed. She jumped right in the corner, seeking the shadow. She looked up, her face a mask of fear. Damon was now sitting on the bed, with a satisfied smile on his face, and at the window…
“Because the sun’s coming up” Elena answered Katherine’s question.
“Bitch!” Katherine snapped.
“Pleasure’s all mine” Elena said without any trace of a smile. She turned to Damon. “Are you getting up? We won’t find Stefan while we’re sleeping” Damon raised his eyebrows. “Yes, ma’am” Elena sighed. “Damon. I can’t do this alone, I need your help” She looked at Katherine. “And yours” she added. Now Katherine raised her eyebrows. “One little tip, sweetie. If you want vampires to help you, you better not expose them to the sunlight” “I’m sorry, I’m just nervous. You two are playing with each other, while Stefan is missing” Elena explained herself. Damon, who saw she needed some comforting, raced out of bed and put his strong arms around her. “Don’t worry, we’ll find him. We’ll find him and we’ll save him” he whispered in her ear. “I promise” He ignored the soft voice inside of him, praying they wouldn’t succeed in their purpose. Elena, who knew how Damon felt about her, gently pushed him away. “I know you’ll do everything that’s in your power to get him back” she said with a sharp look in her eyes, as if she could read his mind. Damon nodded.
A cough brought both back to earth. “Yeah, I don’t want to ruin this cute, intimate moment, but I’d rather not stay here all day” Katherine said grumpy. “So, if one of you could shut the sun out, that would be real nice”
Elena, who was closest to the window, closed the curtains.
