"I-I still don't u-understand. What do you want with m-me?" Katherine stutters.

Klaus smirked and moved closer to her. "You'll be my queen. Your simply perfect, love. It's just a shame your not part werewolf." He was so close now that Katherine could feel his breath on her face and she did not like it one bit.

She took a step back determined to get away from the monster in front of her but she collided with a wall. Klaus smirked even more at this and took another step closer to her. It didn't look like Katherine was going anywhere any time soon so she descided to find out more about her situation. "Queen?"

"Yes, love. Queen. I'm building a nation and I need someone to rule it with me. Every good King needs a Queen."

"W-why me? You could have anyone." Klaus being his mouth to her ear. He was so close and Katherine desperately wanted to push him away but she needed answers.

"Your so strong love and kind but wicked and cold hearted all the same. And I need a strong Queen. Not to mention your incredibly beautiful, love." He's definitely crazy, Katherine thought to herself. And who was to say that Katherine even wanted to be his queen and 'rule' with him. As if hearing her train of thought Klaus said the six words Katherine was dreading to hear. "You don't have a choice, love."

Sheila had taken some of Stefan's blood and was now making a pattern with it on Elena's olive skinned forehead. The hospital room was covered with candles in all different shapes and sizes all a light.

"Gaian beskddah skel." She chanted.

"Gaian beskddah skel."

"Gaian beskddah skel."

"Gaian beskddah skel."

She chanted those three unknown words over and over again in a whisper and gradually her voice grew louder till she was shouting. Everyone else was waiting outside but Sheila had let Stefan stay. I wouldn't of left even if she would have asked, Stefan thought knowing to be the truth.

Sheila stopped and a strange wind blew all the candles out. Elena's eyes fluttered and for a moment Stefan thought she was waking up. "Any minute now." Sheila whispered.

Elena shot straight up breathing heavily. "S-st, S-s-t-tef-an."

"I'm here!" Stefan cried rushing over to Elena. He sat on her bed and picked her up, putting her in his lap. They were both crying and Stefan held on to the love of his life as tight as he could. Elena suddenly pushed her way out of Stefan's arms. "I love you." she said confidently.

"No!"

Elena looked like she was about to break. "I wanted to be the one to say it first!" whinned Stefan. Elena bursted into laughter and fell back into Stefan's laughter. Soon Stefan was smiling. He enjoyed watching her laugh. And Stefan realised that as long as Elena was happy, so was he. "I love you Elena Maria Gilbert. For always and forever."

Katherine and Klaus walk out of the Salvatore's Boarding house – where Katherine soon found out the cell was in Stefan's basement. Or rather Klaus walked out with a struggling Katherine slung over his shoulder.

"Put me down you... you ape!" Katherine says, a sudden boost of confidence appearing out of no where. Klaus simply laughs in response and throws her into a black car – presumably his. Katherine tries to open the door only to realise that the doors were child locked.

She couldn't help the tears that fell next as she thought about everything. Her mum had been there, did that mean she was part of it all. And she was also in the Salvatore Boarding house which was where Stefan lived. Which meant he was a part of it to. Eventhough Katherine had only knew Stefan for a short amount of time, she still felt oddly attached to him. This whole thing felt like some big betrayal. While Katherine was lost with her thoughts, Klaus had started the engine and was diving away to God knows where. Great. I'm officially screwed.
