The Vampire Journals

Katherine

Now there were a few others who knew the secret. Alaric and Matt learned because we needed their help and Matt was like a brother to me. We knew where we needed to look for what was causing all the trouble in town. There was supposedly an old crypt under the church in the cemetery. I barely remember parts of my old life. I knew which tomb to try because it moved before. The night of homecoming. After the lid was off Stefan Damon and I jumped while the others climbed down the ladder. I heard a low growl and saw a white wolf. It was right behind Stefan.

"Stefan. Don't move."

He looked behind him and saw the wolf. It was about to attack him but a black wolf attacked the white wolf. I ran over to Stefan and told the others to leave.

"We aren't leaving without you guys."

"Go! We got this!"

They listened and left. A fog came over us and soon everything was dark. When I opened my eyes I saw a girl who looked almost exactly like me. She wore a silver dress with a train dragging on the ground. No that was her silver blonde hair. Her eyes resembled a fawns but had fire burning in them. I knew who it was because Stefan told me about her. She was Katherine Pierce. All three of us were tied to the gate posts and Damon was bleeding. His throat was torn out.

"Hello Elena. How do you do it? You have both brothers all over you while I could only get Damon."

I couldn't speak.

"Time for them to wake up" she said walking over to Damon and getting them both up.

Elena.

Stefan?

Yeah. You okay?

Yeah. Are you?

I'm fine. Who is doing this?

Katherine.

I thought she was dead.

I don't know but she is here.

"Hello sleepy Stefan. Devious Damon."

"Katherine."

"You are probably wondering why I'm back and how I'm not dead."

"Kinda." Damon said.

"How are you alive Katherine?" Stefan asked.

"Sweet sweet Stefan. I was never dead. I faked my death but my plan didn't work. You were supposed to grieve together and become brothers again, not go and kill each other. Now it's my turn to do the killing. I will give Damon a choice though. You can either die or join me. I never stopped loving you Damon."

Damon smiled his mischievous smile and I knew what he chose. He chose death. He couldn't fool me but he fooled Stefan and Katherine.

"Katherine."

"Yes Damon."

"Katherine."

"Yes Damon" she said hopefully.

"Go rot in hell."

That sent her over the top. She lunged forward and ripped his throat out more. When she pulled back blood was running down her face.

"Now you are all going to die. How should I do it though. I could bleed you out.... I got it. I will let you burn in the sun. Don't think about saying that your rings will keep you from burning because you don't have them. I do." she said dropping three rings on the ground. I ignored her and tried to figure a way out. I started working my hands loose from the ropes. Once I worked my hands free I knew I only had one shot to do this. I slammed into Katherine with everything I had, knocking her into the light and fumbling to get her sunlight necklace off her and onto me. I pulled it off her and tried to get it on me. Soon there was no pain only light and then darkness.

................

I opened my eyes and saw Stefan and Damon on either side of me.

"Is she...." I said weakly.

"Yeah. You killed her." Damon said. I looked at Stefan and there were tears in his eyes.

"I'll be fine Stef. You both need to promise me something."

"Okay. What is it?"

"Promise me that you will take care of each other."

"We promise."

I knew what was going to happen. I was going to die and they were going to take care of each other. I will watch over them and I will always love Stefan.
