Another Chance: As a Human

Chapter Six: The Confrontation

Silas cuts the time in half by driving like a maniac. I notice that we are back at the boarding house and he get out and starts for the front door. I quickly get out to follow him and when I do he is waving his hand and the door bursts open and he walks in. I run to catch up with him.

"Silas, no!" I yell but its too late

Silas has Damon up against the wall and he's choking not being able to move. Everyone is just standing there in surprise at the scene in front of them. 

"If you Ever, lay a hand on Katherine or torture her with the death of her parents and blame it on her again, You will answer to me!" He shouts

Damon drops to the ground and Silas walks to the door and stands there for a minute. Damon gets up and walks slowly to me. 

"This means war." He threatens

I take a step closer to him.

"I would love to see you try." I threaten back and walk off Silas following and slamming the door behind me with his magic

"And it has begun." Silas looks at me

"Yes, it has." I smile 

Damon's POV

"She wants to co-exist? That is the funniest thing I have ever heard." I snap 

"If I remember correctly she told Silas no to do it." Stefan counters 

"Stop trying to defend her! You did it when she was dying and you are doing it now." 

"Why did Silas say that?" Elena asks from behind Stefan

"Say what?" I ask

"He said  'If you Ever, lay a hand on Katherine or torture her with the death of her parents and blame it on her again, You will answer to me!' Why did he say that Damon?" Her voice shaky 

"I don't know why he said that." I lie

"Stefan?" Elena looks toward my brother

"When Katherine was on her death bed and you guys were drinking to her death Damon.... he got into her head and he blamed the death of her parents on her. He basically tortured her at her weakest." 

Elena's head snaps back to me. Her eyes started to water and a frown came to her face. 

"Elena-" I reach my hand out to her

"No. Don't. Being a girl who lost her parents at the same age that Katherine did I can't even look at you." She storms off

"Seriously Stefan?" I ask

"I'm not going to lie to her like you Damon." 

Mad I run up the stairs and Elena is on the bed crying. 

"Elena, she deserved it."

"No she didn't. No one not even a person like Katherine deserves that, no matter what she has done to us."

"Elena, sweetie." I reach for her and she jerks away

"I'm going to the dorms tonight. Call me when you sincerely apologize to Katherine for what you did."

"I'm not going to apologize to her."

"Well until you do, I don't think I can be near you." She snaps

"Are you seriously going to let her do this?" I ask

"She isn't doing anything. You are!" she shouts and she storms out.

Katherine's POV

"Silas...." I look at him

"I know, I shouldn't have done that. But- nothing never mind."

"But what?" I ask

"I just found myself protecting you." 

"Well next time, try to tone it down. It wasn't that big of a deal." 

"But it was. I care about you, Katherine." He admits 

"Well don't. I'm used to being alone."

"Whether you like or not Katherine you aren't alone anymore." He says

"The only reason you are sticking with me is because you don't want to be alone."

"That is partly true. I have been on my own for 2000 years without Amara-."

I don't let him finish

"Well I'm not Amara." I snap

"I know you aren't."  

"Then stop acting like I am." I put the car into park and get out walking fast to the door.

A tight hand wraps around my upper arm and turns me around. I come to face with Silas. 

"You can't keep acting like this." 

"Like what!?" I shout

"Like you don't...... feel this." He takes my hand and places it over his heart

I'm surprised at the beat of it, fast, skipping. We both look at our hands on his chest. I quickly remove my hand and put it to my side.

"You and me Silas, it's never going to happen. Sorry." I turn to walk away and he grabs my hand

"I don't accept that." 

I look at my hand then back into his beautiful green eyes. I grab him by the back of his neck and pull him down connecting my lips to his. I slip my tongue into his mouth and I rub it against his. He fist his hand into my hair and pulls my head down a little to gain more access. We are interrupted by Nadia's gasp of surprise. 

"Katherine?" She questions

"Nadia.... Stefan was just leaving." I look back at Silas and he knows what I'm doing

"Where is Silas?" 

"He went somewhere to cool off. He was mad earlier." I lie

"I'm just going to go inside." She stutters walking in the door the bell attached to it ringing

"You should go change clothes and come back in like 20 minutes. Then she shouldn't suspect anything." 

He nods, gets in the car and drives off. I walk in the door and Nadia is waiting for me.

"What the hell Mother? Why were you and Stefan making out? Are you insane?" 

"No Nadia I'm not insane. He was here when I got in. We were talking outside and the next thing I know he's confessing his love for me and then we started making out. It's no biggie." I smile

"Well next time try to refrain from sleeping with the enemy. Why was Silas mad?" She asks

"I told him about what Damon did to me while I was dying and he got crazy and we rushed over him and he attacked Damon. He's started a war. That's going to be a problem right now, I need more practice." 

"Why would he be mad about that?" 

I bow my head and look at the ground. I looked up at Nadia and saw the realization on her face.

"Oh my God, that wasn't Stefan and you making out. It was Silas." 

"Yes, it was." I admit 

"Why lie?" She asked

"Because Nadia, he's Silas. We are supposed to hate him." 

"If I am being honest here, I don't care who you are with as long as they make you happy." She smiles at me

"I don't want to be with Silas. It was two meaningless kisses. It's nothing." 

"Wait.... Two kisses?" She raises her eyebrows 

I hear the bell and watch as the door opens and Silas walks in.

"Saved by the bell." I joke

"Hey guys. Whatcha doing?" He looks at me

"Don't bother. She found out it was actually you. Its been a long day and I'm exhausted. Goodnight." I say and walk up the stairs
