Katherine quickly put on her clothes as Damon carried Elena upstairs. “You can lay her down on my bed, I’ll sleep on the couch” Stefan said. Damon held his steps, but didn’t turn around. Then he walked further to Stefan’s room where he lay Elena down on Stefan’s bed. He took off her shoes and left. He went to Elena’s room-yes, she had her own room in the house-and collected the dirty sheets, which had been lying there since morning.
Downstairs Stefan was furious at Katherine.
“See what you’ve done? Now Elena will think I cheated on her and I didn’t do anything!” he raged.
“She’s sleeping, Stefan! She didn’t see shit!” Katherine shot back.
“When will you get it in your head that I have no interest in you whatsoever? If you’re so eager on having someone to play with, try Damon” Stefan fired.
“That’s low, even for you” Katherine said. She got up to open the door; someone had ringed. A short, blonde girl was standing in the doorway. Her face was wet of crying. “Hello, I…eh…I need to talk to Stefan Salvatore”
Katherine raised her eyebrows and looked down on the visitor. “Who’s asking?” she said arrogant.
“Kelsey Lindy” Kelsey said who succeeded in keeping her voice under control.
“Let her in, Kat” Stefan said and Katherine reluctantly step aside. Kelsey walked into the room and Stefan got up. “I’m really sorry for what happened to your sister. You are her sister, right?”
Kelsey only nodded.
“I never meant for anything fatal to happen to her” Stefan continued.
“And that makes it okay?” Kelsey now said.
“No! Not at all! I’m not trying to make excuses” Stefan hastily said.
“Good” Kelsey said. “I couldn’t bear to hear them”
Katherine slammed the door and Stefan looked up. “Can you cut to the chase, dear, we don’t have all night”
Kelsey ignored her. “In ten minutes the moon will rise and I will turn. I should bite you and make you suffer the way Amber has suffered”
“I understand your pain” Stefan said, but Kelsey covered her ears not to hear it.
“Stop trying to talk yourself out of it! Stop trying to pretend you know how I feel! You can’t possibly know!” she cried. She breathed heavily. “You’re lucky I’m not like you. I don’t play with people, I don’t manipulate them, I don’t use them for my own personal gain, I don’t make them suffer”
“Tick tock, tick tock” Katherine teased. She yawned. “Stefan, please, snap her neck, rip her heart out, liberate her from her pain”
“Speaking of hearts…” Kelsey conjured a stake out of her pocket, the stake Derek had given her. She aimed for Stefan’s heart, but the moment she wanted to stake, she gasped. Her eyes bulged and blood came out of her mouth.

From Shadow Souls. Enjoy.
Like two flames that join and merge into one.
Headstrong, each wanting their own way, passionate, impatient... She and Damon were alike.
To all appearances, he was perfectly in control, icy and precise, distant and disinterested. The truth was that he was going out of his mind. - Damon, thinking about being around Elena
I don't belong anywhere, Damon pointed out, suddenly sounding sad. You know I'll always be with you.
Go to bed. Go to hell. Go anywhere, but stay away from me. - Damon's feelings for Elena are overwhelming
Damon whirled, caught her precisely, held her locked in an unbreakable grip. Then, with a swoop of his head like a falcon on a mouse, he kissed her.
As soon as their minds connected there were something like fireworks. Explosions. Rockets. Stars going nova. - The kiss!
Was that what you've been thinking about while you've been refusing to talk to me? - Elena asking Damon about the kiss
