Complicated Love

She's Back

"Hey Vanessa." Elena greeted as I pulled some milk out of the fridge. My eyes flicked over to the clock on the microwave.

"Shouldn't you be in school?" I asked, a crease forming in my eyebrows. All of a sudden Damon stormed into the kitchen.

"What are you doing here? I told you to leave." He said pushing her against the wall by her throat. My eyes widened in surprise.

"What is your problem?" She gritted out.

"I see....You're wearing her clothes Katerina. You had me fooled for a second." I said getting back to making my bowl of cereal.

"You think I'm Katherine? Why would you think that? Katherine's in the tomb! Isn't she?" She said confused. Damon released his hold on her as Stefan came into the room.

"What the hell's going on here?" He said.

"I don't know, you tell me. Is Katherine in the tomb or not?" When is she going to stop with the act, of course the Salvatores are falling for it. The real Elena walked in, confused by all the commotion. Stefan rushed over to her and grabbed her throat. Do the Salvatore brothers have a choking fetish?

"What are you doing?!" Elena mustered out, Stefan's grip on her was pretty hard.

"How could you do this?!"

"Stefan, you're hurting me!" She pleaded.

"Stop it, Katherine!" Stefan demanded.

"Stop what? It's getting really easy being you." Katerina said. Stefan let go of Elena and looked at me for answers.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you guys. Katerina's back. Surprise!" I said with my mouth full of cereal.

So Elena and Stefan are definitely going to be late to school because we're currently having a meeting in his bedroom. Fun! "What is she doing here?" Elena said. She had her arms crossed and she looked angry.

"Well when you guys decided killing Elijah was a good idea, his compulsion on Katerina broke and she was freed from the tomb. By the way, is he still in the cellar? We should probably get him out of there." I rambled. I started to head out of the door when Stefan stopped me.

"I trust you Vanessa, but not enough to know that you won't go down there and wake up Elijah." He said,"I know how much he means to you and I'm not taking that risk."

"You told him I'm best friends with Elijah!" I said facing Damon. "When someone says something secretive during Drunk Night you're not supposed to tell anyone."

"I'm sorry it must've slipped out." Damon deadpanned.

"Oh this conversation isn't over mister." I pointed at him. "Now back to Katerina."

"I don't want you here. Get her out of here." Elena whined.

"You need me, Elena. You all do." Katerina warned.

"Like hell." Gasp, Stefan used a bad word! Wait, did I literally just think the word gasp?

"We all want the same thing, Klaus dead. Yet here you all are, running around like chickens with their heads cut off." She's got a point, they have no idea what they're doing.

"I don't need your help and I don't want it." Elena spat out.

"I get that you guys don't like her, but she's right. Do you even know what Niklaus looks like? What his plans are? When he's going to sacrifice you?" Everyone in the room went silent.

"Exactly. So I suggest you all better be nice to me." Katerina said.

"If you know something, say it or get out." Damon said irritated.
