Another Chance: As A Human 2

Chapter Nineteen: I'm Actually Loving This No Feeling Thing

"Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner." Katherine laughs

"Why?" Silas questions

"I killed somebody. I was hurting and I didn't want to feel it. So I turned it off. I'm actually loving this no feelings thing. Why didn't you tell me it felt so good, Stefan?"

"It doesn't feel good, Katherine. Once that switch is turned back on all the hurt you caused will come flooding back. So no, It doesn't feel good, not at all."

"I can't believe you turned it off. You have so much in life, so many people who care about you, a daughter." Silas adds

"That's the thing, Silas. I don't care. Now if you would excuse me, I have places to be. Don't follow me." And with that she's out the door

Silas's POV

"That went well." I state sarcastically

"Yeah, you think?" Stefan replies the same

"I'm going to follow her. You coming?" I asks

"No. You go ahead. Maybe you can do something to help with her." He suggests

"How do I do that?" I ask, curious

"You love her right?"

I don't really see what that has to do with it but I answer his question anyway. "Yes."

"Use that. Just try and get her back. Anyway and anyhow you can."

I nod my head and walk out the door. Katherine by that time was gone out of any type of sight. I walk past a couple of buildings when I am yanked into a dark alley. I face my attacker and I turn to see Katherine.

"I told you NOT to follow me. This is what I hate about you, you never listen." She shakes her head

"Good, because last time I checked, hate is an emotion." I state

She waits a second before she bust out laughing. She does it for a good few seconds before her lips turn into a straight line.

"You're right! But it's not an emotion that I much care for. I prefer the feeling of loathing. You and Stefan need to leave before I hurt someone, and Stefan knows how serious my threats can get."

"You finished?" I ask

"I'm leaving now."

She goes to walk away when I pull her back to me by her wrist. Her face comes close to mine and I can't help but stare into her emotionless brown eyes. For a second I get lost in them and completely forget what I was doing. I'm taken out of my trance when she backs away from me.

"Katherine." I mumble, her name name barely leaving my lips

"Yes?" She asks innocently

"Please come back to us. To me. I love you."

I go to reach for her face when she grabs my wrist and twist it to the side. I groan in pain and look back into her eyes, nothing.

"That's the thing Silas, I don't love you. I never loved you. You were and forever will be just my Stefan rebound."

I'm taken aback by her words and for a second it stings a little, but I know it's not true.

"You're just saying that to try and hurt me. But it won't work. I love you too much to let you stay like this and I know you love me back. You just can't feel it."

I reach into my pocket and reach out a hotel card. I take it and place it in her hand.

"This is where I'll be staying. If you ever change your mind."

I turn around and start walking away.

"I won't." She says from behind me

I don't look back and just continue walking back to the bar. I get inside and Stefan has downed half a bottle of bourbon. I say nothing as I sit down next to him. We sit in silence as Stefan just keeps drinking. Before he can finish it I snatch it out his hand and take a swig.

"It might be a little harder than we thought. Who knew she could be so cruel." I state

Stefan looks up from the floor and turns to me. "What did she say to you?" He asks

"The basic 'my humanity is off' stuff. Nothing to worry about." I answer simply, taking another swig

"You said she was cruel, so fess up. What did she say?"

"I told her to come back to us and that I loved her. And she said I never loved you and I quote 'you were and forever will just be my Stefan rebound.' I told her where we were saying and then I came back here to you drowning in your sorrows." I explain

"It's my fault. I told her to go back to Qetsiyah, to try and explain. I'm the reason that Qetsiyah is dead and Katherine's humanity is off." He shakes his head

I let out a sigh and stand up. I'm annoyed, even at the fact that he made this about him.

"Look. Those were all her choices. Let's not make this unfortunate situation about you. And most importantly stop throwing yourself a pity party. None of this is anyone's fault besides Qetsiyah and Amara. They waged this war and now Qetsiyah is dead. I'll be at the hotel when you're done with acting like a child."

Katherine's POV

I turn around and watch Silas walk away. I look down at the key card and look at the name. 'Chicago Inns and Suites' Shit. I can never catch a break. Of course they pick the same place I'm staying. I just want some emotionless killing fun and now that's ruined. I start walking to God knows where, thinking, plotting. I can just kill them, that would fix my problems. I see this guy walking and talking on his phone.

"...I'm still at the office. Yes, I know Sarah. I know I said I would be home early, but my boss needs me to stay. You know how strict he is. I'll be home soon. Love you too." He hangs up the phone

I stand behind him and he turns around bumping into me.

"Oh my God. I am so sorry, Sir. I totally didn't see you there. These phones are so addicting." I hold mine up to his face

"It's okay. What is a young, beautiful lady like you doing out here all alone? He smirks

"I couldn't help but overhear. Who's Sarah?" I bat my eyelashes at him

"Sarah is my wife. But we don't have to worry about her right now." He runs his hand down my arm

I smile at him, showing my perfect teeth. "I'm Katherine. It's REALLY nice to meet you." I fake giggle

"So what are you doing out here by yourself?" He asks again

"What are you doing hitting on me and lying to your wife?" I counter

"She doesn't need to know. And you are one fine lady and that's why I'm talking to you." He smiles

I return the favor and tug him by his suit tie into the dark alley. I let him take the lead and he shoves his tongue straight down my throat. Man is he a sloppy kisser. I let him kiss down my neck before I pull him to my face by his hair. He makes a cringey growl and smirks, again. He smiles too much.

"I wanted to thank you." I say

"For what?" He smiles once more

"For dinner." I say with a straight face

"I didn't-"

He stops when I plunge my teeth into his neck. This guys has some sweet blood for such a dick. I let it flow down my throat and I smile at the taste. I listen to the slowing heart beat and I can't help but feel happy about this. I keep drinking until I hear the final beat and drop him to the ground. I lick the rest of my lips and move along my merry way. I walk out the alley and bump into... "Amara."

She cocks her head to the side and smiles. "Hello, Katherine. Goodbye, Katherine."

She snaps my neck and it turns black. IF PEOPLE DON'T STOP SNAPPING MY NECK!!
