A couple of hours later
Elena was lying in Damon’s arms, when the door opened and Stefan and Katherine appeared in the doorway.
“Damon? Can I talk to you” Katherine asked careful. Damon nodded, but prevented Elena from leaving. “In private?”
“It’s okay, Damon” Elena sighed and she freed herself from his hold. “I’ll be back” she said with a faint smile. She walked away from the bed and followed Stefan outside.
“Elena, I’m sorry” Stefan said.
“Not now, Stefan” Elena said.
“Yes, now” Stefan said. “I know you hate me and you have every right to. You should hate me”
“Where are you heading at?” Elena asked.
“I know you like Damon” Stefan said and Elena could see it took him a lot of effort to admit it. “But I don’t want you to go to him because I’m a piece of worthless shit. I’m not feeling sorry for myself, but if you’re going to be with my brother, it has to be because you love him and not because you hate me”
Stefan left Elena in the living room to think about that.
In the meantime Katherine was trying to involve Damon into her vengeful plans.
“I don’t get you, Damon” she said frustrated. “She tried to kill you when you couldn’t defend yourself. She tried to separate you from Elena”
“It’s over now” Damon said. “She’s no treat anymore”
“You think so?” Katherine raised her eyebrows. “Who says that as soon as she wakes up she won’t try it again?...She will come back and finish the job”
Damon shook his head, trying not to let Katherine get to him.
“She’s weak now” Katherine said. “If you’re ever going to get back at her, now’s the time”
“I can’t do it” Damon said, sounding not very convincing.
“Do it for Elena” Katherine said. “Bonnie played her only because she has a deep bond with you”
Elena walked through the hallway and headed back to Damon’s room. She opened the door and looked shocked in the empty room. She noticed the window being open.
“Stefan?!” she yelled as she ran through the hallway.

Elena walked through the hallway and headed back to Damon’s room. She opened the door and looked shocked in the empty room. She noticed the window being open.
“Stefan?!” she yelled as she ran through the hallway.
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.
