Another Chance: As a Human

Chapter Three: Surprise

Stefan walks into the door and enters the living room where Damon and Elena are waiting for him. He starts to walk upstairs when Damon catches him.

"Hello Brother." Damon greets him

"Yes, Damon."

"We need to talk." Damon moves towards the couch

Stefan follows in pursuit as he watches Elena stand up. Elena and Damon exchange a look before looking back towards Stefan, eyes wide.

"What's going on?" Stefan questions

"We have a problem." Damon states

"Katherine and Silas are back." Elena blurts out

"I thought Bonnie said that they might not have made it through."

"Might is the key word there. While you were off doing god knows what with Qetsiyah, Katherine was in my bath and wearing Elena's clothes." Damon says

"How did you know about Qetsiyah?" Stefan asks

"Katherine."

"How would she even know about that?"

"The people on the other side can see what's happening on our side. That's how. I mean Stefan why her?" Damon looks at him

"What do Katherine and Silas want? And when the hell did they become friends?"

"Who knows, but Katherine said she doesn't want any problems, that she just wants to coexist with us." Elena explains

"And do you believe her?"

"Believing her is the worst of our problem, she says if we try to do anything to her that we will regret it." Damon points out

"And how would she do that?"

"She has been practicing magic and she is really good. I mean too good she has only been alive for six weeks. So I say we believe her and not do anything to her. Just let her be."

"Damon are you scared of her?" Stefan asks

"I have always been scared of her. Now more than ever."

"She is only human."

"Yeah, a human with good magic, a two thousand year old witch who is also good with magic, and her daughter. She has people on her side."

"Then we let her do her. I'm still confused though, Silas and Katherine hate each other."

"Thanks for the obvious Stefan but they clearly have bonded."

"We should tell Qetsiyah." Stefan suggest

"She doesn't need to know."

"But I'm going to tell her. Her psycho ex and our psycho ex are teaming up. So yes Damon she does need to know." Stefan walks away towards the door

"Where are you going?" Damon asks

"To warn Qetsiyah." He opens the door, slamming it on his way out.

Katherine's POV

"Well now that we got that out the way, what do we do?" Nadia asks

"I wonder when Elena's sophomore year starts." I look at her

"You, want to go to college?"

"Yes, Silas. It's a way to see if Elena and Damon can coexist and if not then that will be a problem. I'm sure Damon just can't wait to make a move and kill me. When that happens the real fun can begin." I smirk

"Do you really think Elena is going to let that happen? What about Caroline and Bonnie? Surely they don't want you at their college."

"Bonnie and Elena, no. Caroline might warm up to the idea."

They both look at me.

"Well when Augustine was threatening to kill Elena and Caroline unless they left campus because they were vampires. So for them to be able to stay I had to convince them that they weren't vampires, I just had to go to a party in exchange for Elena's bed and meal card. Then I helped Caroline help Stefan."

"So she might be on our side, good." Nadia nods

"Oh yeah, I saw that. He almost killed you."

"Yeah, and it was all thanks to you." I smile at him sarcastically

"I'm not the bad guy here Katherine."

"Really? You locked Stefan in a safe and shoved it in the quarry, killed Bonnie's dad, almost had Elena kill Damon, pretended to be Stefan, drained me of my blood for your stupid cure, tricked Qetsiyah to find Amara. Shall I continue?" I raise my left eyebrow

"Okay, so maybe I am the bad person."

I scoff and he looks at me, straight face. I turn away and walk off.

"I'm going to my room. Nadia, Silas, get along. If he gets cocky just kill him, that way I won't have to deal with him anymore."

"I will go see Matt."

"What the hell am I suppose to do?" Silas looks at me

"Just sit there and look pretty." I walk off waving my fingers at him

I walk towards my room, opening the door I walk in closing the door and locking it. I take my phone out of my back pocket and toss it on the bed and plop down next to it. I let out a sigh as I get up and side Elena's flats off. Actually, my flats. I won't be giving her this outfit back, let's just say I didn't forget that she never gave me my stuff back in Willoughby. I guess that makes us even now. I stop thinking about that and I close my eyes, laying back down on the bed. I loved this room when I stayed here and I am glad that I got it again. Nadia's room is to my left and Silas's to my right and they both have doors connected to my room. I open my eyes I hear a light knock on my door. Ugh.

"Come in." I say to whoever is knocking

The door inched open and I recognized the same green eyes and light brown hair I seen a few minutes ago.

"Yes Silas?" I ask looking up at him

"I'm hungry. Let's go get food."  

I let out a breath and get up off the bed. I walk over to where I placed my suitcase and pulled out a little black dress and heels and toss them on the bed. 

"I'll be down in thirty." 

"Okay." He says walking out

*30 Minutes Later*

I finish up my hair and throw on a black jacket and my black lace heels. I apply some mascara and lip gloss and smack my lips together. I grab my handbag and head out the door  and it locks. I walk down the carpeted hallways and down the stairs, my heels sinking into the plushness of the carpet. At the sound Silas turns around and then pauses, his lips parting a little at the sight. His eyes roam from my deep brown ones to the black heels I'm wearing and then back up. 

"What are you staring at?" I ask with an attitude 

He cover his mouth with his fist and lets out a fake couch. "Nothing. Sorry."

"Good. Let's go, I'm starving." I walk ahead of him and I almost shudder at the touch of his hand on my lower back. I swiftly swatted his hand away.

"Don't ever do that again." I growl

"Sorry." He drops his hand to his side 

He holds the door open for me and I step out then he does the same with the car door. He gets in and buckles and then pulls off, driving away from the hotel.
