     IT WAS LIKE katherine was simultaneously supporting stefan and i's relationship and also somewhat jealous. very confusing endeavor. you might also be wondering: when were stefan and i going to talk about who "he" was? well, i forgot completely about that.

i was disappointed to say that i forgot about it because i thought of the darkhold morning, noon, and night. when i was getting ready for volunteer day, the book followed me around as i read through the pages.

lae bursted into my room and i quickly made the darkhold go invisible. i looked at him with wide eyes. "what the fuck is up with you?!"

"KATHERINE JUST KISSED ME!" he yelled. he threw himself on my bed. "I THOUGHT SHE WAS ELENA!"

i let out a laugh. i clutched my stomach as i dropped to the ground. "you- she-" i stammered, unable to get any words out. i heard a whoosh and looked up and saw stefan who just hopped in through the window.

"did i hear that correctly?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow at lae and i. lae just screamed into his hands in response. "i'll take that as a yes."

i reached my hands in the air and stefan grabbed them, pulling me up. i was still smiling, but wasn't laughing that hard anymore. "that's pure gold!" i exclaimed.

i was too enraptured by my happiness at the situation at hand that i didn't realize stefan was looking at my fingertips. when it caught my eye, my face fell. he looked at me, eyebrows furrowed. "it spread," he stated. "are you still using the darkhold?"

i hesitated. if i told him the truth, it would be taken away from me somehow. however, i couldn't find the strength to lie to him. i rested the top of my head against his chest. "yes," i admitted. i raised my hand and it appeared behind me, floating midair.

"lia!" lae exclaimed in a scolding manner. "i thought we decided you wouldn't use that all the time!"

"it makes me feel so powerful!" i defended. "why would i not use something that helps me with my magic?!"

stefan placed his hands on my shoulders, making sure i focused on him. "because it's not good for you, lia. we don't fully know what it does to the person who uses it. you need to lock it up or something."

i huffed. i crossed my arms over my chest and thought about it. i considered for a second that i looked like a child throwing a mini-tantrum, so i decided to be the grown eighteen year old i was. "fine. i'll- i'll lock it up with my magic with the tesseract."

lae looked at me with wide eyes. his hands flew to his head in distress. i furrowed my eyebrows at him until i realized. i looked at stefan who had a quizzical look on his face. "the uh- so- the tesseract is- um- this cube that glows blue and helps lae with his speed!" i said quickly.
