Another Chance: As a Human

Chapter Twenty Three: What!?

"Hello, Silas." She smiles

"You were-" 

"Dead, I know." She cuts me off 

"What did you do? Where's Katherine?" I ask walking towards Qetsiyah 

"I solved your problem. You've always wanted to be with Amara and now you can, and Katherine's not here." She smiles 

"Why? I was finally coming to terms with her being dead. Why bring her back?"  

"I think you know." She turns away from me 

"Is this what you and Stefan were arguing about?" 

"Yes." Stefan says

"So it wasn't about what happened last night." I ask confused 

"Oh, it has everything to do with last night. I wasn't going to let another woman, especially one that looks like her take another man from me. I couldn't just turn Katherine to stone like I did with Amara, she's not immortal. So I'm going to do something to Katherine that I am capable of doing." 

"And what is that?" I ask in anger 

"Make sure she can't have you. I'm going to take her happiness like I did with you two."  She points at us

"Ho'w can you be so sure of that though?" Stefan butts in 

"Silas and Amara have been in love for two thousand years. He's "been in love with" Katherine for what one month? Amara is Silas's one true love, there is no way he would choose Katherine over her." 

"What makes you think I would choose Amara? I have spent more time with Katherine in this one month of knowing her then I have spent with Amara." I state 

"But, Silas, I love you. I'm here and I'm alive. Be with me. We've spent two thousand years apart, we can start over. We're human, we can have kids, die together. Don't you want that?" Amara comes closer to me 

"Maybe I did want that. But I can't just leave Katherine because you're back. I love her." 

"But you also love me. Choose me." She places her hand on my cheek

I move my head from her hand. I breathe in and look around and the three people staring at me. 

"I can't. I need to think." 

I walk towards the door as Amara calls out my name. "Silas!" 

I don't look back as I open the door and storm out slamming it behind me.

Katherine's POV

"Katherine are you crying?" Damon looks over at me 

"No." I deny wiping my eyes 

"You totally are. You actually have a heart." He smiles and nudges my shoulder 

"Shut up. I'm just being emotional, this scene is really sad."  

"Really? Bambi's mother gets shot and you cry. It's not sad, it's quite funny if you ask me." 

"Ugh, Damon." Elena slaps him on the shoulder

"Well, If you saw your mother dead then you would be thinking differently." I look back at the screen

"God, Damon. Are you always this insensitive?" Caroline asks 

"I was just joking." 

"Well your joke wasn't funny." Caroline scolds him 

I get this feeling in my stomach and I abruptly get up and run to the bathroom. 

"Look what you did." 

I hear Caroline behind me as I barely make it to the toilet before I throw up. I finally finish and I flush the toilet. I wipe my mouth and get up. Elena hands me a toothbrush and toothpaste, and I brush at least three times before the taste of puke is somewhat out of my mouth. 

"Are you okay?" Damon asks 

"Yeah. Must have been the alcohol." I answer him

"You've been up for two hours now. You should have thrown up the moment you got up." Damon retorts 

"It can't be anything else. I haven't had sex-" I instantly cover my mouth with my hand 

"What?" Caroline looks at me wide eyed

"It can't be. We used a condom." I say still shocked 

"You and Silas had sex?" Elena gasps 

"Only one time. We used protection. This isn't happening." 

"I can't believe what I'm hearing. Maybe you getting sick was delayed because of the medicine." Damon says

"Yeah, that's probably why. I shouldn't worry." I sit back down on the couch 

"You did do a lot of drinking last night." Elena says 

"When is your period?" Caroline asks

"Come on, Caroline. I'm right here." Damon shifts in his spot

I look at him and roll my eyes. "It's in a few days." 

"Okay. If it's not here in a week you should go to the doctor. It's normal for you to be late past a few days but if it reaches a week you should definitely get a check up." Caroline mentions

"What if I am pregnant? I just drank a shit load of alcohol, that's dangerous. Oh god." I clutch my hands to my stomach

"Hey. It's going to be okay." I see Damon put his hand around my wrist 

"Are you sure?" I look at him

"I'm sure." He smirks 

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I wonder

"Mostly for Elena, but also because I would like to think we are friends." He replies 

"We are." I smile back at him 

"Good. Let's watch a funny movie." He gets up 

"Sure. I have to make a call real quick. I'll be back." 

I quickly walk out of the room and down the hall and go into my own dorm room. I dial the number that called me last and it took a few rings before the person picks up.

"Klaus, I changed my mind. I don't want to kill Damon." I say right away

"Why?"  

"I just changed my mind. You can still use my blood to make hybrids, just don't kill him. Do we have a deal?" 

"Yes, anything for your blood. I have more pressing matters here in New Orleans anyway. I'll be there soon to get some of your blood. Until later, Katerina." He hangs up 

I put the phone back in my pocket. I leave the room locking the door behind it. I go back to Elena's dorm and walk in. They all turn to me and Damon holds up a movie. 

"Look what I found." 

I look at it closely and my eyes go wide when I see the title. "Where did you find that?" I ask

"I don't know Nina, where did I get it? When did you get into acting Ms. Dobrev? He laughs 

"It was one of my covers. There is a long story behind it." 

"Please tell us. We are dying to know." Damon gives his signature smile
