Summary: What if Katherine had been there to stop Rebecca? What if Elena had chosen Damon, instead of Stefan?894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62EceTavYw
It was a dark night, as Elena spoke to Damon on the phone, Matt driving Elena home in his old, white, Chevy truck.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrDicmq3Bx
"If you had to choose, who would it be? Who would get the good-bye?" Damon questioned.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pjq5iqK3l
"I choose you, Damon. I love you both, but Stefan hurt me in a way that I don't know I can forgive."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy7L8TH0yT
Damon was relieved.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm179sz6qj
"I love you, too."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMiCF91PHX
"I'll see you soon, Damon."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCbP98Aaop
"Take care, Elena."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gQruf1wya
Just then, Matt hit the breaks, seeing Rebecca. Before he could hit her, Elena and Matt saw Katherine push Rebekah out of the way.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLwuxnX03R
The truck stopped.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtJDYKUdoN
Matt and Elena saw Rebekah and Katherine face off.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsopxnt2lsr
Kat hissed at Rebekah.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ1YXUZLsn
"What do you think you're doing?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz7aDTFzxX
"Alaric killed my brother. He's linked with Elena. Alaric has to die," Rebekah growled and hissed back.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76sKgwBiif
Kat growled.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjvKtoqcjt
"I won't let her die. I'll die before I let Elena die."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI1czFDNow
Kat growled again as a warning.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnlLIVlSRC
"Go home or I'll dagger you, Rebekah."
The Original growled before vanishing at vamp speed.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVVcsVomGw
Kat relaxed and looked over at Elena who had gotten out of the truck and was heading towards the vampiress.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLabJVgrIo2
"Katherine?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESFzttoKh1
"Elena, you should go home. I'll make sure Rebekah isn't following."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIxb5KsY4S
"What happened?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yA43KCYoC
"I saved you. Rebekah and the others don't know, but you have Damon's blood in your system. If Rebekah had ran you off the road, you probably would've died. If you die with vampire blood in your system, you'll wake up in transition. I don't want you to have to choose. I want you human."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuBwWurYDI
"Thank you. But why do you care?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLoSYmC3sS
"Because family is everything to me. You are my family. I will not lose my family again. That's why I want Klaus dead. He killed my family 500 years ago to get back at me. I won't let my family die again."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGGabSocLO
Elena saw it now. The hatred she showed was to keep her dark past from being known. And her actions were to keep family together and hide the pain. But up close, she saw the pain in her eyes.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJAFtqio88
Elena turned from her and walked towards the car where Matt waited.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH0zs2D9at
Kat watched Elena get in and the truck drive off.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATHDCrYEdO
Matt gave the phone back to Elena, which she had had Matt take and speak to Damon.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FGKtqxADR
"Damon, I'm here."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDC3EJjUrc
"Elena, what happened?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9fW5AJ1BL
"Katherine just saved us both from Rebekah trying to run us off the road to kill me."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrBatcnea4
"I'm heading back, Elena."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz57GpAXtl
"Damon, Katherine said she would make sure Rebekah doesn't follow. Somehow, I believe her. She said something else. Something about family."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64502ioVbD
"What did she say?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZLIgAhfaH
"She cares about family enough to protect me and want Klaus dead. I guess he killed her family 500 years ago to get back at her."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkSaPaY37W
"You shouldn't believe her. Everything she says is a lie."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBLSx3bhZ1
"You didn't see her, Damon. It seemed like she wanted to say more."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkcMgFRbjT
"We'll figure it out when I get back."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNslP9fUeOl
"Meet me at my place, then," Elena responded.
Later, Damon and Elena were in her living room, Elena seated on the couch, Damon standing by a wall.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjoox5GcAj
Kat walked in.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83hdFzQMLb
"Good. You're here," she told them, and then sat next to Elena.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvkEH9xWjs
"What do you want?" Damon asked.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjEuFQvxCJ
Kat looked at him.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhlEPofnA3
"You could be nicer. I'm older than you. Didn't anyone ever teach you to respect your elders?"894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF41Qo8NDU
Damon looked back at her.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwV7mXozHi
"Respect is putting it mildly considering what you've done."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazdaim48uf
"What you think I did," Kat corrected.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfVyeoyB5y
Elena watched their exchange.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l1l8BIVyC
"I'm not welcome, so I won't bother you unless you're in danger. I'm going to leave something with Elena. I know that she'll keep it safe. You're welcome to read it too, since you think I lie."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyuA4rtdig
The Petrova vampiress took out a brown, leather book. It looked very old.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth3ZLyIYav
Kat looked at Elena.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOQspmvtIn
"Don't let my journal end up in the wrong hands. I wish I knew if this is a good-bye or not. But I don't. Be careful. Take care of yourself and the others, Elena."894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fCRmJDWTp
Elena took the journal that she handed to her. Then Elena and Damon watched her leave.894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6OjTAkXs0
Elena looked down at the tattered, old diary and opened it. When she did, Damon went to sit beside her and they silently read it.
As Kat left, she knew she had to get somewhere where she wouldn't be found. She knew what Alaric was. She couldn't let him find her.
