Chapter 16: Epilouge

Yes, it is a bittersweet day for me... This is... The last installment of Don't Be Shy! Aaah! And I know all of you are going to be absolutely pissed at me by this ending....😁 Sorry... But there may be a possible sequel in the future... 😃 anyway, enjoy the last chapter of Don't Be Shy!

Katherine's POV
She stood before me, a vision of pure beauty, and it pained me to do this to her.
But it wasn't right. It wasn't right for her to love someone who ran from her problems and slept with people just to get what they wanted.
She needed to be with someone like Stefan or Damon, who would always put their needs before hers. I knew that I would never be able to do that.
"What's wrong?" she asked me.
I sighed.
"You know I love you, right Elena?" I asked her.
She nodded.
"And I love you too." she said, intertwining her hand in mine.
"I love you, so that's why I have to let you go."
Her eyes widened.
"What? No! You can't do this!" she exclaimed.
"Elena..." I tried to reason with her, but she broke away from my grasp. Tears were streaming down her face, and she had shut her eyes tightly.
"You can't compel me to forget!" she yelled.
"Elena, you're making this so much harder for me. Open your eyes, please." I said, but she refused to listen to me.
I was breaking. Before I knew it, I would be telling her that we should just run away together, and that was clearly a stupid idea.
I took Elena's face in my hands. She tensed at my touch, but kept her eyes glued shut.
"Elena, I love you so much." I said. She didn't respond.
"But I have to leave. I'm not right for you. I'm going to break your heart, and I don't want to do it. So this is the easiest way." I continued.
"It's already broken." she said quietly. Her eyes opened.
Thank god. This pain would all be over soon.
Trying to get her to keep her eyes open, I kissed her forehead.
Then I leaned down, and looked straight into her eyes.
"You're going to forget everything that happened in that tomb and after. You're going to forget that you love me. For all you know, we still hate each other. I'm still a bitch, and I still want to steal Stefan. You're going to continue dating Stefan and living your life. And you're going to be happy and content without me."
I let go of her face and sped out before she caught me. Why did this hurt so much? I didn't know. There were tears dripping down my face as I stood outside of her room.
I didn't want to live with this. How could I be strong if I did?
"Humanity is a vampire's greatest weakness." I muttered to myself.
Slowly, I closed my eyes and thought about my humanity switch. I wanted it off. I wanted it off now. And it would go off, if it was the last thing I did.

Elena's POV
There was wind in my hair as I opened my eyes. What had just happened? The window was open and I walked curiously over to it, looking outside.
There was no one there.
