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.

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.
