We ran downstairs in a rush afraid of what the damage was that Katherine caused. As I thought, the couch was thrown, windows were broken, and there was glass everywhere. Chris was on the ground and I rushed to his aid. Blood was coming out from his mouth and I saw a shard of glass in his chest.
"Damon!" I shout. I didn't need to say another word before Damon's blood was healing him. I hugged Chris and I was so grateful my brother was still alive.
I didn't even bother to keep the tears in, they were already falling on my cheeks. I feel like I finally did something right for once. He's my last family member and I don't want to mess this up.
    I looked around and saw Elena with a bleeding wound on her neck and I think Katherine bit her. Caroline has some wood stuck in her leg and from what I saw Bonnie looked fine. Stefan was bleeding but there was no wound just blood smeared.
    "This was a message," Damon said.
"Hell of a message," I said.
     Was this all for me?
"Katherine likes to get a message across," Damon responds.
I felt so overwhelmed I did't know what to say or do.
"Why would she do this?" Elena asked with a rough voice.
"Because I broke a deal with her."
I looked at him confused. What deal? I wasn't the only one who didn't know because all eyes were on him.
"What did you do, Damon?!" Stefan shouted.
"I made a deal with her to save Brooklyn's life and then I broke it." Damon seemed as frustrated as Stefan. They were both frustrated at each other and at Katherine. I wasn't frustrated or mad but I was confused.
"How did you break it?" Stefan asked once again.
"I broke up with her. Now she's taking back her promise. I think she wants to kill Brooke."
I was really scared now knowing that she was only after me. I also felt at fault for this whole damn thing. I mean she was only coming after me and she hurt everybody else in the process. She wanted to get a message across and made sure everybody knew it.
"It's not going to happen," Chris spoke up sitting up.
"Finally we can agree on something," Damon said.
    I felt a little bit reassured that I had people willing to fight for me.
"It's us against her. She's out numbered," Damon said.
Stefan shook his head thinking that Damon was way in over his head. I agreed.
"Oh yeah it's only just Katherine," Stefan said sarcastically, "She's outran Klaus for centuries' She's smart and clever. She may be outnumbered but were not just dealing with some newbie!"
    I was definitely feeling the tension between the three boys.
    "What other choice do we have Stefan?! To give her over to her!" Chris shouts.
"Maybe it's for the best," I say. All eyes turn on me, some full with anger and some full with sorrow.
   "She will kill everybody if she has to and I can't let that happen!" I shout. 
"There is another way, Brooklyn! We fight," Damon said. I was beginning to think about what I would lose if I just gave up. I would lose Damon, my brother, and my friends. To me that was a lot and I decided that I would fight. Besides, I didn't get brought back to life just for me to die again. 
   "Fine. We fight."
Damon smiled gratefully that I wasn't going to be a martyr yet I was still not feeling safe. I don't think anyone would in my position.
    Stefan had a frown on his face and I couldn't help but think he wanted me to give myself over to Katherine. It doesn't surprise me though but it hurts.
"Stefan were you expecting a different answer from her?" Damon said annoyed and getting in Stefan's face. Damon was trying to be intimidating but so was Stefan. I got in between them and pushed Damon back a little bit.
"I think we already know what he wants my answer to be, Damon," I said quietly and hurt.
   Damon gave him the evil eye before sitting back down on the couch. I sit down with him tired of this whole situation.
"So what's the plan?" Chris asks.
"I think Brooke should stay here," Damon said.
I thought this was the safest place for me as well but Chris had different thoughts.
    "No way! Any vampire can get in here!" Chris shouts angrily.
"But she would have protection," Damon said. I understand Damon but I know it would also be safe at my house.
"She would have all the protection that she would need at her home!" Chris yelled.
"Guys! Calm down. I think I would be safer if I stayed here." I made up my mind about the whole thing and decided it would be best if I was here.
Chris seemed mad but he didn't push it. Damon was happy but he didn't show it.
     "I'll go show her her room."
Damon grabbed my hand and pulled me along.
"You could always stay in my room," Damon flirted.
I rolled my eyes and thought fat chance.
  "I'll think about it."
      "Here you go. Now let's go get your things."
Damon pulled me back downstairs with me giggling all the way. We decided it was time to go pack some things of mine for the stay.
    The drive took no longer than five minutes and we were  at my house. Damon was helping me pack when he pulled some underwear out.
"Put it back," I said.
He put on a pouty lip and I laughed at his petty child play.
   I grabbed all my necessities and we were out there in 10. There was someone I wasn't expecting waiting the front porch.
"Miss me?" Katherine said.
Damon put himself in front of me protectively.
   "No. What do you want?" He asked irritated.
   She flicked her eyes to me then back at Damon.
"Not happening. Sorry."
She laughed deviously.
"She can't hide from me forever."
I thought of something that I probably should have thought of a long time ago.
"You know what Katherine, let me call up an old friend of yours. Klaus."
    Katherine looked un phased.
   "Great. Then I can tell him about the sacrifice." I froze and so did Damon.
"I mean either way your gonna die might as well get in Klaus' good graces."
     With that she disappeared. All hope for us was lost. I was going to die.

Wow. That escalated quickly. Thank you guys for reading. Vote and Comment! Love you all!!!!
