⚠️ WARNING: SADNESS AND FLASHBACKS ⚠️

I was in the living room. I stared at the burning fire. "Katerina?". Stefan said softly. I gasped and jumped. I faced him. "I'm sorry, but we need to talk to you, could you come to the grill, we've got everyone waiting for you there?". "I don't know, just everything that's happened".

"I understand, I'll make sure no one comes near you". "Okay". I whispered and rubbed my arms. Me and Stefan arrived at the grill. I saw everyone and gasped. "Your okay Katerina, just breathe". I nodded. I walked over to everyone. "Katerina, how are you feeling?". Rebekah asked.

"I'm okay". "Listen, you will move past this". "I hope so". She smiled. I faintly smiled back at her. "Does anyone want anything to eat?". Damon asked. "No, I'm okay, thanks though". They all smiled. "I think I'm gonna go home, I don't feel well, I'm sorry". I quickly walked out of the grill.

I went back to the Salvatore house. It had turned dark. I slept in Damon's bed and felt peace. I woke up in the middle of the night. I went downstairs and lit the fire. I sighed and rubbed my eyes. "Katerina?". I gasped and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw Stefan. I sighed. "Stefan, what's up?". "I came to see if you were okay?". "I'm fine, I just can't sleep, every time I close my eyes, I can't stop thinking about it". "I'm so sorry Katerina, I wish that there was something I could do?".

"Changing the past would be a miracle". I laughed. "Well, we can't change the past, but we can change the future, if you let me help you, all the fear and everything that's happened will go away".

He stood up and walked to the other side of the room. "Okay, I'm going to walk towards you and you need to tell me to stop when your uncomfortable". I nodded. He walked to the other side of the room.

I sat down on a bench. "You ready?". I nodded. He started walking towards me. "Stop". I whispered and shook my head. He kept walking towards me. I gasped and flinched back. "NO". I screamed. He stopped in his tracks.

I sighed and was crying. "See, you are getting there". "I can't do this Stefan". "But you are, listen to me, if you let me help you, I can-". I cut him off. "There's nothing you can do, I'm broken and there's no fixing me, I can't stand anyone coming near me".

"If anyone does, I get constant reminders of what happened, of what Klaus and Kol did to me". I was crying. Stefan sighed. "I'm not going to give up". "Why, why, after everything that's happened, I'm not going to be changing the past or the future, it's blinded by traumatic events".

"I need to go talk to Damon, you should be getting some rest". I nodded and walked up to Damon's room. I got in his bed and drifted off to sleep. Stefan walked downstairs. Damon was near the fire. "How is she?". "She's okay, I tried helping her earlier, but it didn't work". "Helping her?".

"I tried this thing, where I would walk towards her and see how close I could get to her, but I was a mile away from her, when she told me to stop, I could see all the fear and terror of what happened, she can't help being traumatised and having constant reminders of Klaus and Kol".

"Well, what's done is done". Damon drank his bourbon. Stefan frowned at him. "What's done is done?". Stefan scoffed. "Are you being serious right now, she got raped and you don't even care about her, how is that right?". "I'm not saying I'm right Stefan, I'm saying that she can't be fixed, there is no helping her".

"How would you know any of this?". "I don't, but it's the only way". "No, the only way is for us to help her get through this". "You do whatever you want Stefan, but don't say I didn't warn you". Damon walked out of the room.
