Damon walked into the living room, finding Bonnie going through her cupboards. “That bitch really got me. Look at my neck” she said bitter. Damon grabbed her arm and forced her to turn around. All of the fear he had felt since she jinxed him was gone and now all she could read on his face was fury. “Let go of me, Damon” she said with a cold voice, though she couldn’t hide the tremble. Damon brought his face to hers and looked her straight in the eye. He wasn’t going to compel her, he knew he wasn’t strong enough. “What have you done to Elena? You said you wouldn’t hurt her” he said soft but threatening. “I didn’t hurt her” Bonnie said scared. “She’s happy, isn’t that a good thing?” Damon put his hand on her throat and squeezed it. “No, it isn’t. She believes everything to be okay, when it’s not. What if Klaus comes back and does something to her? She’s not careful anymore and Stefan’s gone, so he can’t protect her. And thanks to you neither can I” he hissed angry. Bonnie tried to swallow, but Damon’s grip was too tight. She wanted to mind-torture him, but couldn’t. She could hardly breathe. Damon loosened his grip a bit, so she could at least talk. “Katherine can protect her” Bonnie said hoarse. “That’s why I didn’t bewitch her, so she could keep an eye on Elena” Damon chuckled, but then was serious again. “Well, aren’t you noble then. You didn’t let Katherine off the hook so she could keep Elena safe. You’re afraid of her. You’re scared she will harm you, and you were right” he said with a nod at Bonnies neck. He grabbed her hair and let his fangs sink in her flesh. She screamed, but Damon tightened his grip and fiercely drank her blood.
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.
