I'm Mariana Gilbert. (TVD fanfic: Damon Salvatore)

Last Chances

I walked down the stairs, hearing a knock on the door and I reached the landing. I opened it and looked between Stefan and Damon who stood there. "You're both here.. who's dying?" I asked sarcastically and Stefan folded his arms over his chest in some response.

"We went to see Katherine." He stated and I smirked and opened the door wide enough for them.

"Well, come on in." I replied and walked down the hall to the kitchen where Elena was putting coffee into a mug.

"Who was it?" Elena asked before Stefan and Damon came into the kitchen behind me. "What now?" She asked, letting out a sigh as she looked between the two.

"Katherine made a deal with us. If we get her out, we get the moonstone and she disappears from Mystic Falls forever." Stefan stated as Damon grabbed an orange from the island counter and started tossing it in his hands.

"You don't believe her, do you?" Elena asked the brothers in annoyance.

"No, of course not. We just want the moonstone." Damon pointed out as he tossed the orange between his hands.

"According to Rose's friend Slater, there's a way to destroy the spell that Klaus wants to break." Stefan added as he leant on the island counter.

"No spell, no doppelgänger sacrifice. Ergo, you live." Damon added in amusement towards Elena and I looked at her and sighed.

"How do we destroy it?" I asked raising an eyebrow at the two.

"By releasing it from the moonstone." Stefan replied and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"How do you guys know this is going to work?" Elena asked in defeat at them.

"Because we have a craft witch on our side." Damon replied snidely and I rose an eyebrow.

"You've discussed it with Bonnie.." I countered and watched them both nod in agreement.

"She agreed to do anything she could to help us." Stefan stated and looked at Elena who sighed.

"It's Katherine who has the moonstone. She's not going to give it to you." Elena pointed out, shaking her head in return.

"We're going to get it from her." Stefan replied resting his elbows on the counter and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"What Stefan means to say, is that we will pry it from her cold, dead hand if we have to." Damon stated looking at me and I slowly nodded.

"Bonnie just needs to find a way to release the seal, long enough for us to get the moonstone and get out in time for her to return it." Stefan added nodding at us.

"Wow. I mean, it sounds like you guys already have it all planned out." Elena stated emotionlessly, nodding at them as she leant against the counter.

"Yep. We're awesome." Damon stated in amusement, making me roll my eyes at his sudden burst of optimism.

"Except for one thing." Elena stated and we all furrowed our eyebrows at her. "I don't want you to do it." She countered, her eyes lingering on me, uncertain of my reaction.

"Elena, like you said, this isn't about just you anymore." I stated in protest, making her shake her head.

"What about Klaus?" She asked, furrowing her eyebrows and I crossed my arms over my chest in defeat.
