When Elena finally arrived at the kitchen, all showered and dressed, Stefan was sitting on the sink having a blood bag in his hand, which appeared to be his breakfast. Blood streamed from the corners of his mouth, but he didn’t bother to wipe them away, not even when Elena shot him a yuck glance. She went to sit with her back to him. If she was still going to have breakfast she could not stand the view of a blood drinking boyfriend. She shoved the cereals to her and filled her bowl. Then she poured milk in it. She recalled the morning before when Damon had been baking those delicious pancakes.
“Damon baked me pancakes yesterday” she said. Why did she say that? She turned around to see Stefan’s face. He drank some blood, so he wouldn’t have to comment immediately. “They were really good”
Stefan jumped off the sink and threw the empty blood bag in the garbage bin. He turned around, his eyes red. Elena gasped and threw down her bowl. Stefan’s face went back normal. “I’m sorry” he said. “What are you trying to say, Elena? You want me to bake pancakes? Like Damon did? What have you two been doing while I was away? Did you sleep with him? Did you let him bite you?”
Fear was being replaced by shock and Elena got up. “Seriously? You’re going to lecture me now? You killed people, not me! And Damon has tried really hard to help me. He could’ve tried to make a move, he could’ve taken advantage of you being gone, but he didn’t. So will you stop acting like he’s the bad guy, because you’re not any better”
Stefan looked like Elena had slapped him in the face. Then he grabbed her shoulders and firmly pressed his lips on hers. Elena struggled, but Stefan tightened his grip. “Let me go, Stefan!”
For a moment Elena thought he finally listened, because he did let her go, but then she saw Alaric pushing Stefan away. “She said no, Stefan” he said short. Stefan ignored Alaric and looked at Elena. “What’s your problem, kid? You’re my girlfriend. We’re supposed to kiss, we’re supposed to make out. But all you do is acting like a PMS bitch” he snapped, showing his fangs.
Tears filled Elena’s eyes. “You know what, I don’t like you very much, right now” she said and she went to the living room. She sank down on the couch and tightly embraced a pillow. She heard something break in the kitchen and pictured her bowl shattered on the floor.

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.

“Where’s Barbie?” Katherine asked when Stefan was standing on the front porch of the Boarding House. She had gotten used to the sight of him with Rebekah.
“She’s out, doing something” Stefan explained vague. “Can I come in?”
Katherine shrugged and let him pass. Stefan turned around. “I’m looking for Elena. Is she here?”
“No, she’s at school. You should know that” Katherine said uninterested.
“Not anymore she isn’t” Stefan said. “School’s over”
“Then she’s probably at the Grill” Katherine said, a little annoyed. “What do you need her for anyway?”
“I want to apologize for what happened last time she came over” Stefan said. “And I want to make sure she’s okay. I mean, I know Rebekah’s blood already left her system by now, but still, it must have freaked her out”
He looked at Katherine who stared at some point behind Stefan. Stefan quickly turned around and saw Damon standing in the doorway.
