Stefan grabbed Elena by her hair and dragged her back into the house, his ripper face still on.
“Stefan, let go of me. You’re hurting me” Elena cried.
“Well, you’re hurting me!” Stefan growled. “We haven’t even officially broken up yet and you’re already clinging on my brother like a fetus on a navel string”
He dragged her to his bedroom and wanted to throw her inside, when he felt a sudden aching in his back. He looked aside and saw Katherine. He brought his arm back until he found the stake.
“Okay, first of all, ouch!” Stefan said and he pulled out the stake. “Second of all” he threw the stake on the ground. “that was very rude, Katerina Petrova”
“You have to let her go” Katherine said trembling.
“Whyyyyy?” Stefan dramatically asked. “She’s my girlfriend” he kissed Elena. “She’s has no business in looking for my brother”
He looked at the door and a thought crossed his mind. “Well, now that we’re here…” he said with a creepy smile and Elena realized what he wanted to do. In a reflex she lifted up her knee and Stefan let go of her.
She ran and Katherine tried to stab Stefan a second time but he smacked her against the wall.
“Don’t be such an attention trigger, Katherine” Stefan said annoyed.
Elena ran to the front door when Stefan flashed in front of her, locking the door.
“Stefan, please” Elena said, now really crying. “I’m begging you, let me go, let me go and help Damon. You will never forgive yourself if he dies”
Stefan let out a very deep sigh and rolled his eyes. “Why the hell do you care so much about him? He’s nothing but a monster”
Elena’s fear was joined with another emotion. Anger. She looked up at Stefan and as she walked towards him she said: “What did you just call him? How dare you judge him. Ever since I met him you’ve kept saying he was evil, he was a murderer”
“I was just being honest” Stefan said.
“Saying your brother is a murderer and leaving out the part where you were a ripper and killed whole towns and villages is not honest. It’s hypocrite” Elena said furious and shaking. “Damon started killing because he was broken. Because he lost the woman he loved. It’s not an excuse, I know that and he knows that. But what’s your excuse? People loved you too much?”
Stefan growled. He didn’t want to hear this.
“You told me Damon’s a monster…but the only monster I see is you” Elena said heartless.
Stefan closed his eyes, trying to be patient.
“I understand you and Damon have bonded while I was gone. I realize you’ve developed a deep friendship with him”
“Aaahh!” Elena let out. “Don’t you get it? I kissed him!”
Stefan stared at her as if she had slapped him. “What?”
“When he was dying and I was with him I kissed him” Elena confessed. “And you know what? I liked it and I don’t regret it. I would do it again in a” heart beat
Stefan’s face went back human and he felt a burning pain in his shoulder. He dropped on the ground, Katherine standing over him, a vervain syringe in her hand.
“Go!” she said. Elena unlocked the door and ran outside.
“Stefan, let go of me. You’re hurting me” Elena cried.

Stefan’s face went back human and he felt a burning pain in his shoulder. He dropped on the ground, Katherine standing over him, a vervain syringe in her hand.
“Go!” she said. Elena unlocked the door and ran outside.
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.
