Scared
A/n Rebekah's back.
No ones pov
Elena was furious, she stood there staring at Katherine who had a drink in her hand. Katherine held out the drink and Elena shook her head, "No." She said and Katherine only nodded as she took a drink.
"Care to share any thoughts running around in that beautiful head of yours?" Katherine asked not looking a Elena. Elena only looked down at her shoes then back at Katherine. "You should've noticed." Elena said bluntly.
"What?" Katherine asked still not facing Elena. "That I was Tatia, that Tatia was me." Elena said once more. "You should've been the one that noticed." Elena added in a more stern voice.
"You don't think I know that?" Katherine asked bitterly finally turning to face Elena. Elena then took a breath and shook her head. "If only you'd seen through her Katherine. There would be no vampire virus, and Aaron would still be alive." Elena said as she walked closer to Katherine.
Katherine stared at her and scoffed. "Tatia didn't do this, I did." Katherine spat, "I thought you broke my heart so I ripped open Aaron's neck. That is how much control you have over me." Katherine said bitterly.
"And I'm still here! That's how much control you have over me!" Elena said rising her voice. Katherine shook her head, "Look at us, we are toxic. We are in a toxic relationship Elena, I just killed your friend and you find someone else to blame!" Katherine yelled and Elena ran her fingers through her hair frustratedly.
"You want me to blame you?! Easy, done. You screwed up Katherine! Again!" Elena yelled, "Thank you!" Katherine yelled back.
"You put me in a postition where I have to defend you again." Elena said as she put her hands on Katherine's shoulders. "Where I have to bend my morals again! Where I have to go against everything I stand for again! Because I love you." Elena spat and Katherine rolled her eyes as she pulled away.
"Then stop loving me!" Katherine yelled, "I can't!" Elena yelled back as Katherine then stared at her, tears welling up in the older vampires eyes. "Well then that's the problem." Katherine said in a quieter tone, "We don't work." She added and Elena only stared at her.
"I know." Elena finally managed to say and Katherine only glanced down then back at Elena. "Then we agree." Katherine breathed out, "This has to end." She stated trying not to let her emotions get the best of her.
Elena only shook her head, with tears in her eyes. "It just did." Elena said and Katherine only nodded in response before vanishing. Before Elena could even process what just happened she fell to the floor and started sobbing.
---------------------------------------------------
Over the next few weeks Elena and Katherine avoided each other, well Katherine avoided Elena and Elena was going crazy. "Ugh where the hell is Katherine?!" Bonnie asked as they all sat in the Salvatore mansion, "Last I saw she was with Rebekah." Damon said shrugging and Elena's head snapped towards him.
"Why the hell was she with Rebekah?" Elena asked, "Apparently Katherine's took a new liking to her, all they've been doing for the past two weeks is getting wasted and killing people." Caroline said. "How do you know that?" Bonnie asked. "I hung out with them the other day." Caroline said sheepishly and they all stared at her like she had three heads.
"What? They really know how to party." Caroline said defensively. "Of course they do, their both like five hundred years old!" Stefan said and Caroline only shrugged. "Okay so I'm here now, and I would appreciate it if you didn't yell so much." Katherine said and Elena's jaw practically fell open at what the older vampire was wearing.
She was wearing a black tank top, a black pair of skinny jeans, some black high heels, and a pair of expensive sun glasses. "What's wrong with you?" Damon asked and Katherine grabbed her head, "Hang over." Was all she whispered and everyone nodded.
"What? All partied out already?" Stefan asked and Katherine took off her sun glasses glaring at Stefan. "Never. Just had one too many shots last night." Katherine said as she sat down next to Bonnie, not even acknowledging Elena's presence. Which just pissed Elena off even more.
After Bonnie had explained their current problem about Enzo, Katherine groaned. "Can't I just rip his heart out and be done with it?" She asked and everyone gave her a look. "What is it with you and killing?" Stefan asked and Katherine shrugged, "The power, control, thrill." Katherine said seductively leaving Stefan speechless.
"No we can't just rip his heart out, he has the vampire virus, he's twice as strong as you." Bonnie said and Katherine groaned. "You act as if I haven't faced worse monsters than Enzo. The guys an idiot, I can kill him with my eyes closed." Katherine said and Bonnie sighed.
"Maybe. But we need him alive, he knows stuff." Bonnie said bluntly and Katherine nodded. "How do we even know he's in mystic falls?" Caroline asked, "Blondie has a point." Katherine said. "He hasn't left. Trust me." Bonnie said.
"We just need a good time to get him when he least expects it." Damon said and Katherine nodded. "Trust me, I know Enzo, he won't be expecting it." She said and Damon nodded in agreement.
"So are we done here?" Katherine asked as she stood up, "I have very important places to be." Katherine said as everyone stared at her. "Like what? Killing another innocent person?" Bonnie asked and Katherine rolled her eyes.
"Ouch. Hurt my feelings there bon-bon." Katherine said as she started to walk away, "So you're just not gonna tell us where you're gonna go?" Stefan called out and Katherine laughed. "Can't hear you, I'm too far away!" Katherine yelled back as she sped off.
"Someone should really go keep an eye on her." Caroline said, "Are you just saying that cause you wanna go party with her?" Bonnie asked. "No!" Caroline said defensively.
"Fine. Then Damon will do it." Stefan said and Caroline pouted. "Why can't Elena do it?" Bonnie asked, "Isn't Katherine like her best around Elena?" She added sarcastically and Elena glared at her. "Does Katherine even have a "best" side?" Caroline asked.
"Fine. Damon and Elena can go keep and eye on Katherine." Stefan said and Elena shrugged. "Fine. I know where she is anyways." Damon said as he grabbed Elena's wrist and they walked off.
"Ugh I wish Katherine and Elena would just get back together already, I know I wasn't the only one who felt all that sexual tension." Caroline complained and Bonnie and Stefan only laughed at her.
Elena looked at her watch and saw it was 11 p.m. Damon had dragged her to every single one of Katherine's favorite clubs, till they found her dancing with blood running down her lips.
Rebekah was right next to her sucking some guys neck. "I wanna eat the world!" Katherine yelled and Rebekah only laughed, clearly not noticing Damon and Elena's presence.
"You're pretty." Katherine said staring at a girl who was under a trance. "I think they compelled everyone here." Damon whispered, "I want you." Katherine whispered in the girls ear and Elena's blood started to boil.
"Careful Elena your gay is showing." Damon said bluntly and Elena glared at him. "Katerina stop playing with your food. I thought your mother taught you better than that." Rebekah said teasingly.
"Your brother killed her before she could." Katherine said back and they both sunk their teeth into the girls neck.
"Okay that's enough." Damon said finally making his presence known, "I think you two both have had enough fun." He said and Katherine growled at him and Elena. "You're not the boss of me." Katherine said almost childlike.
"C'mon Ms. I wanna eat the world, let's get you home. You're clearly drunk." Damon said as he grabbed Katherine's arm and she roughly pulled away. "Don't touch me!" She hissed and he put his hands up.
"Katherine, come on." Elena said and Katherine glared at her. "I'm not going anywhere with you." Katherine said, her voice laced with anger and hurt. Elena sighed, "Katherine please." Elena said pleadingly. Katherine stayed silent and Damon grabbed Rebekah's arm. "Come on blondie, you and I are going to have some fun." Damon said and Rebekah smirked as they walked off.
Elena stared at Katherine for awhile then Katherine scoffed as she walked off. "Katherine stop." Elena said following her out, but Katherine just kept walking. "Katherine please!" Elena yelled and Katherine finally turned around.
"Leave me alone!" Katherine yelled and Elena stared at her. "Can't you take a hint? I don't want to see you Elena, I don't want to talk to you, I don't want to be around you!" Katherine yelled as she started to walk away.
"Why not?!" Elena yelled out angrily. "Because it hurts!" Katherine yelled back still walking angrily away from the younger vampire. "Then why the hell did you break up with me?!" Elena yelled angrily.
"Because that's what you wanted!" Katherine said and Elena tried to catch up to her, "Will you stop running away Katherine?!" Elena yelled out and Katherine stopped walking. "How the hell could you possibly think this is what I want?!" Elena yelled and Katherine sighed frustratedly.
"Because you're not happy anymore Elena!" Katherine said and Elena froze. "I-Is that really what you think?" Elena asked, her voice full of hurt. Katherine didn't answer instead she only stared at Elena with a pained expression.
"Katherine you make me the happiest person on earth." Elena said in a softer tone, "But you said that I make you go against everything you stand for." Katherine replied and Elena sighed.
"I know what I said Katherine, but that doesn't mean that you don't make me happy." Elena said and Katherine looked down for a moment. "Katherine do you love me?" Elena asked and Katherine stared at her. "Of course I do." Katherine answered.
"I love you more than I've ever loved anyone else in my life Elena. Can't you see that?" Katherine asked and Elena looked down. "Then why do you always make stupid choices?" Elena asked and Katherine sighed.
"Because that's who I am Elena, that's all I know how to be. I'm not like you, or Stefan, or Bonnie and Caroline. Heck, I have more in common with Damon and Rebekah then I do with any of you guys. Elena I make horrible decisions because that's all I know how to do, I hurt people because it's so much easier than caring for them. I don't know how any of this works. I've never been with someone like you, you expect me to be this great person, but I'm not Elena." Katherine admitted and Elena stared at her, shocked at the sudden explanation.
"I do bad things when I'm hurt. I've gotten so used to it that it's the only way I know how to cope with this. Elena I don't mean to hurt you- I love you." Katherine said quietly and Elena stared at her.
"Katherine you know I love you too. Not a day goes by where I don't think about you, and how much I love you. I just wish you would let me." Elena said and Katherine then realized the problem was so much deeper than Katherine killing Aaron or not noticing that Tatia was Elena.
"You run away Katherine, from everything, including me. Every time I try to get to close you always back away, as if I'm holding some kind of steak or something." Elena said and Katherine sighed. "It's not you Elena, it's just- it's like I said before, I don't know how this works. I've never let myself go completely, I want to, I really do, but I'm scared." Katherine admitted quietly and Elena stared at her.
"And you don't think I'm not?" Elena asked and Katherine looked up at her, "Katherine I'm terrified. I've never been this in love with somebody, the constant need for your touch scares me, every time I look at you my heart races as if I've just ran a marathon. Katherine I'm scared too, sometimes I wanna run away too, run away from you and never look back. But then I look at you and I realize that I never wanna be without you." Elena said gently and Katherine stared at her.
Katherine knew what she was about to do was wrong, but she didn't care. Katherine grabbed Elena's face and kissed her passionately, Elena immediately started to kiss back, never wanting to part. Elena knew it was wrong, she also knew it might end in flames, but she didn't care. All she could think about were Katherine's lips on hers, and how she never wanted to pull away.
