Desperate Measures 🩸Elena Gilbert/Katherine Pierce🩸

THE EXPLANATION

Stiles looked at Elena's sleeping figure on the sofa. He stood in the foreclosed house he recently acquired in silence. He didn't intend on hurting Elena. He was never going to hurt her. He just wanted Katherine. That's all. Elena stirred on the sofa with a groan. She say up and looked around before looking at Stiles. Her dark brown eyes went wide with fear.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Elena shouted. Stiles lowered his head with a sigh. "I'm not going to hurt you, Elena. I just said that I would to motivate the others." Stiles explained.

"What?" She whispered. "I just want Katherine, Elena. That's it. Then you will be free of me. I will leave this tragic town." He stated. "Why do you want Katherine?" She asked. "Personal reasons." He answered.

"Does she got you wrapped around her finger like she did Stefan and Damon?" Elena asked. Stiles shot her a glare. "No. I want to make her pay for what she did to me all those years ago." Stiles explained.

"This is about revenge." Elena said quietly. "We, vampires, are a highly vengeful species. Known to hold a grudge for...quite a while." Stiles voiced. "We don't know where Katherine is." Elena voiced.

"Yeah, I'm aware. Katherine is someone that is hard to find. She isn't going to be found unless she wants to be found." He answered.

"Then why-" Elena started. "Because I know Katherine. If she gets word that there are people looking for her. She's going to try to escape town." Stiles interrupted.

"And when she does, and she will. I will be there with this." Stiles added holding up a dagger and looking at it.

"Oh my God, you're going to kill her." Elena whispered. Stiles looked at Elena with a smirk.

SALVATORE HOUSE

Stefan looked out the window. Everyone was looking for Katherine but no one could find her. Bonnie was trying to find Elena in the meantime. "Heard you guys were looking for me." A voice announced. Stefan spun around before pinning Katherine to the wall.

Katherine smiled at Stefan. "Katherine." Stefan snarled.

"Damon, call Elena." Stefan said keeping Katherine pinned to the wall. "Yes, please. Call Elena. And make sure to tell her that I'm with Stefan." Katherine voiced.

"You might want to rethink your statement. Because there's someone else in town. Someone who wants your pretty little head." Damon told her. "What are you talking about?" Katherine asked.

"Stiles. I'm sure you remember him." Stefan stated. Katherine's eyes went wide as she lost her smirk. "What?" She whispered horrified. "Yeah, he's in town...the same little brother that happens to be a Ripper that is worse than Stefan. Loves to kill for fun, has a deep hatred for witches and the Founding Family. The same one that wants you." Damon explained.

"You can't give me to him, Stefan. Please, don't." Katherine pleaded. "I'd care but I don't. Because I don't like you, Katherine. In fact, no one does." Stefan stated.

"Katherine, my dear." Stiles announced from behind Stefan with Elena in his arms. Katherine looked over Stefan's shoulder at the youngest Salvatore brother. "Stiles." She gasped. Stiles tilted his head squinting his eyes with a smile.

"It is so good to see you, Katerina." Stiles said. A chill went down Katherine's back at the mention of her real name.
