Another Chance: As a Human

Prologue: Five-Hundred Years of Solitude

"You have been trying to find me for the last 500 years. You haven't started your life, I can't just take that away from you. You can finally begin anew."

"Fine. Go ahead and die see what I care." Nadia storms off

Stefan walks up and stands by the foot of my bed.

"Why arent you taking this opportunity?" He questions

"I have been selfish my whole life, its time that I be selfless for once. She has spent all of her life searching for me and when I'm dead she can finally move on." I try to smile

He nods his head and murmurs something that I can't hear.

"That's a great thing to do for her. But are you sure?"

"I am. Im not putting my spirit into her, Or anyone for that matter. Plus I couldn't image living in someone else's body, I like the person I am in even though I'm dying. She will just have to accept that." I nod

Stefan picks up the needle and nudges it in my arm. I thank him before I pass out.

***

I wake up with a hard gasp and I see Damon at the foot of my bed. I glare at him as he smiles towards me. I try hard to sit up but I manage.

"Well hello there Katherine." He smirks

"What the hell was that for?" I snap

"What was what for? I have a question for you. What did you do to Stefan?"

"I didn't do anything to him." I state

"He was downstairs defending you. With the whole she was a young seventeen year old girl who was running from someone and that you had to do what you did to survive. He also mentioned that you lost your family young. So did Elena and she didn't turn out like you."

I let out a small laugh.

"That's because Elena is weak. I mean she had to use the cure because she knew I was going to rip her tiny little heart out of her chest." I finish

"You have ruined our lives, Katherine. Mine, Stefan's, and Elena's. I'm glad you are going to die alone, You deserve it."

I laugh again, funny what he is trying to do.

"Elena wouldn't be who she is today without ME. And if I ruined your life so much why didn't you end it, why did you spend 145 years obsessed over me. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be with Elena. So you have to ask yourself, did I really ruin your life."

He speeds over to me quickly and sticks a needle in my arm. I try to speak but I am soon consumed by darkness.

***

I wake up again to see Elijah.

"Katerina..." He sighs

I put my hand up to his cheek and rest it there. Soon his face fades and I see my hand on Damon's cheek. I quickly remove it and place it by my side.

"You thought that he would actually come to see you? I told you Katherine, You are going to die alone." He lets out a chuckle then stops when Stefan walks in.

"Damon stop torturing her." He snaps

Damon starts to walk when he opens his mouth to speak.

"152 years and you are still in her web." He says walking out

"Hey, What happened?" Stefan asks

"He was just in my head. That's all. Nothing I can't handle." I smile

"You need rest, and you have two needles left."

"Go ahead." I nod

He inserts the needle into my arm and sleep finds me again.

***

I wake up gasping.

"You really don't want to die do you? I swear I just heard your heart stop."

I look at my doppelganger, Elena.

"Why are you here?" I ask

"I was ready to give a speech.... to your unconscience body." She mutters

"Let me guess.... you deserve this, rot in hell, die bitch, etc.?" I ask sarcastically

"Something like that. But mostly I wanted to say something else."

"And what is that?"

"I forgive you."

My eyes widen as she finishes

"You what?" I ask surprised

"I forgive you. I just wanted to get that out of the way. If I didn't I would feel that I had lost myself because of hatred."

"Oh. Can you do me a favor?"

She nods.

"Yeah, sure."

"Give me the last needle. If anyone should stick the last one in me, it might as well be you."

She picks it up and takes the cap off.

"Elena." I muster up

"Hmm?"

"Thank you for your forgiveness." I try to smile

She inserts the needle into my arm. My eyes flutter one last time before I slip off.

***

I stand there and notice that everybody is either sitting or standing around. I see Bonnie's face as she looks towards me.

"Is she here?" Jeremy asks

"Yeah. She is walking towards me now."

"Hello again, Bonnie. Let's just get this over with." I state placing my hands on her shoulders

She lets out a groan off pain as I pass through her. I get there to the other side and I'm not in the Salvatore living room anymore. I turn around when I hear a similar voice.

"Look who finally bit it." I look over and see Stefan's green eyes

Only they aren't his.

"Silas." I snap
