to the rescue (on hold - huge rewrite)

Are You Worried About Me ?

Her heart was racing in her chest and she could feel that the end was close... It had to be. It was the only way she could find release from the excruciating torture that she was enduring at the moment. Feeling like she was chased was something she was very well accustomed to, but no time before had she felt so scared for her own life, not even when Klaus was out to get her. Running like there was no tomorrow, she stumbled upon several obstacles on her way, but that didn't make her slow down. No, she couldn't let that happen. If she even stopped for a second, she would have to deal with her predator's rage and she knew very well what would happen after that. On her way throughout the woods, she heard echoes of someone's voice, like someone was calling out her name. Waking up from her terrifying nightmare, she was glad that was all it was; A nightmare.

It turned out that what has woken her up was a call on her phone and she was quite surprised at the identity of the caller. It was none other than Stefan Salvatore.

"Stefan?!" Katherine answered the phone call surprisingly not as happy as she would feel under different circumstances.

"Katherine, we need to meet." Stefan uttered in a rushing tone, getting right to the point.

"What for?" Katherine questioned worried he might have set up a trap for her.

"You are in danger." Katherine tensed, once he heard the reason why Stefan has called her, and didn't hung up, until they have talked through the details of where and when they would meet.

Turning up on Caroline's doorsteps was something Katherine never expected to do, but never say never. While knocking on her door, she was still not a hundred percent persuaded by Stefan's and Caroline's sudden desire to help her. In the back of her mind, she had a back-up plan, like always, just in case her frenemies' intentions didn't turn out to be based on a rescue plan, but a kill trap instead.

"So, I'm here. What does this little plan of yours entail?" Katherine barged in like she owned the place, per usual.

"For starters, it wouldn't hurt being more polite. After all, we are indeed helping you." Caroline complained in an annoyed tone.

"Fine. Would you be so kind as to inform me of how are we going to escape Mystic Falls without anyone notiving?" Katherine responded with irony.

"Much better."

"Actually, we only have to be discreet for a couple of days, since they will probably realize it, sooner or later." Stefan joined the conversation, cutting off their short arguement.

"And how are we going to do that?" Katherine wondered.

"Well, I was thinking that Stefan and I have to come up with a lie that would justify why we have to leave town for a while. As for you, everyone knows that you are... well you and not in fact Elena, so they won't be surprised, if they don't see you around, probably imagining that you are either hiding or running away."

"Great. Have you come up with anything so far?" Katherine voiced out her worries.

"Actually, no. Care to elaborate?" Caroline talked to Katherine.

"You could tell them you are leaving to find a way to kill moi or something like that."

"That's... helpful, to be honest." Caroline replied genuinely surprised, while, also, thankful.

"There is so much more to me than just a beautiful face. And body."

"Yeah, I can see that." Stefan pointed out, while checking Katherine out from head to toes.
