"BAD DAY?" the question had caught him off guard from the woman he had foolishly fallen in love with. He paused in his steps and turned to face the brunette who was leaning against the building of the Grill.

She had her arms crossed against her chest, amplifying her nonchalant behavior, but the mischievous smile gracing her lips gave way to her amusement.

Damon rolled his eyes at the woman he was growing to loathe.

"Bad century," he quipped with a frown. He took her in; his icy blue eyes hungrily devouring her appearance that had yet to disappoint. He hummed his contentment before looking away. "I heard you were on the loose."

"What's the matter?" Katherine questioned with a slight tilt of her head. She narrowed her eyes at the raven haired male who was watching her carefully. "Jealous I spent the day with Stefan?"

"I don't do jealous," He answered, face becoming passive. He blinked vigorously before adding in defeat, "Not with you, not anymore."

He turned away from the brunette and continued walking. Peeling herself off of the wall, Katherine walked behind Damon calling out to him curiously, "Then why so pouty?"

"I tried to kill a werewolf, I failed. Now I feel like I'm not living up to my best self." Katherine's lips came together at his response. She tilted her head again, choosing her words carefully. "Well, werewolves aren't easy prey."

"What do you know about werewolves?"

Damon came to a hault as he turned his body in her direction. She stopped a few inches away from him, studying him with a condescending smile.

"Why don't you ask your brother?"

Damon remained silent, his piercing eyes boring through hers that hadn't faltered. He was trying to figure her out while coming up with a plan. Katherine frowned at the knowing spark in his eyes that would only cause mischief.

"Don't try to be the hero, Damon. You'll end up dead."

Damon was quick to respond━━ his delivery was dripping heavily in sarcasm while his eyes darkened in anger.

"Been there, done that." His eyebrows raised at the bitter confession. He paused for a brief moment, eyes studying her as they widened dramatically when he spat, "At least this time it'll be worth it."

The two held one another's stare that was blanketing the atmosphere in thick tension. Katherine pursed her lips at his choice of words that barely seemed to affect her. Damon gave her one last glare and turned on his heels to walk away.

Katherine didn't follow him this time. She watched him go with a frown. She tore her eyes away from him after a few seconds in aggravation.

Katherine shook her head at the raven haired vampire whose retreating figure captured her attention once more. She watched him go with a loaded sigh and placed her hand on her hip.
