Elena looked into the big doe brown eyes in front of her. Walking closer. Raising her hands to cup the face identical to hers in front of her, but her fingertips hit a mirrored plane. She flattened her palm against the mirror as her gaze shifted to the bite mark Katherine had left on her neck. Elena remembered the previous night vividly. She couldn't find any words to explain her actions. Especially not how her whole body was overcome with excitement at the thought of her doppelgänger and how she could never tell anyone what happened. She knew it was wrong, but she also knew that she would never wish for anything to have changed and that if given the choice, she would make the same choice she had made every time. Her free hand then glossed over the wound and then pulled the scarf Katherine had left her up her neck, hiding their little secret.… Elena will message Bonnie, tell her she will walk to school and have Bonnie save herself the trip. Why? She could answer that question, but she really didn't want to. Admitting it was her who had laced herself all over Katherine, does not sound like the news anyone in the world let alone herself would be looking for. Every step of the way there she would reprimand herself, curse herself for acting that way. For hurting Stefan that way. Every stop sign she meets, her thoughts grow more tame. Less blameful. Maybe this is why when she sees Bonnie and Caroline she smiles. Maybe they were a distraction. A distraction from…She knows thinking the name again would screw it all over, the temporary peace in her mind. Her pace quickens as they divert their attention to her. She misses them. Not because they haven’t seen each other in forever, but because they remind her of a time when she wasn’t so caught up in so many emotions and problems — vampire problems, who could have guessed. A soft and gentle smile slowly floods the features of her face until, from an outsider's perspective, based on Caroline and Bonnie’s reaction, she was the embodiment of what could be most serene and peaceful. Elena dissects their expressions and wonders what they were talking about to have had such stiff expressions before she arrived. Either way all she knows is that ever since they saw her, they began to smile and that was enough for Elena after… everything. When she gets close enough, Caroline and Bonnie walk towards her as well and pull her into a hug. Breaking the hug, Caroline raises an eyebrow while pulling out a quirky smile or perhaps it’s an awkward one by the way she contorts her face. Opening her mount, Caroline asks, “What’s gotten you so… I don’t know I mean after all the stress from that tomb vampire-” Before Bonnie hushes her, “Caroline… Don’t-” The two girls opposite Elena frown as they face each other. “No. Don’t ‘Caroline’ me. I just wanted to see how she’s holding up, okay?” Caroline retorts back in the same hushed tone Bonnie was just using. A sigh from Bonnie follows Caroline’s response before a silent communication ensues. A few seconds pass before some conclusion is reached. Elena knows how it goes. ‘Caroline, Elena’s been through so much don’t just throw all this on her.’ And then Caroline would reply, ‘God I know Bonnie, don’t you think I know? I’m just asking for her sake! See how she’s doing, you know? Like a good friend is supposed to!’ ‘If you’re implying I’m ignoring it, you’ve got it all wrong. Just look at her, she’s gotten past it somehow and we should let her enjoy the moment. We can’t just constantly bombard her with questions like that,’ Bonnie would correct Caroline with. ‘So just ignore all her problems because yeah that helped with everything last summer Bonnie,’ Caroline would scoff. ‘Caroline…’ Bonnie would say again to try to keep Caroline from… getting carried away before continuing with, ‘You know that’s not what I mean… Just let her have it for the moment before it gets swept away again…’ ‘It always does…’ Elena adds that thought herself at the end. A few blinks follow before she falls out of her self-written narration of their silent dialogue to notice the concern on their face. For a second she notices Bonnie flashes Caroline some reprimanding-look, almost a “I told you so” look. Caroline simply rolls her eyes in response before focusing on Elena again. Elena is so caught up searching for the meanings of their silent looks at each other she misses it. “—thing happen?” Elena catches Bonnie say at the last second, not that it was useful since she could just about guess what their uneasy expressions were about. Like they are walking on landmines. Like she could explode any second. Like she is volatile. Elena’s expression twitches just slightly, she knows it was a small movement since they aren't running to bring her tissues and chocolates. Yet the movement felt drastic to her. A sense of heartache zaps itself between every part of her heart in an instant like some electrical current gone wrong. She knew she could safely admit something had gone wrong with her, but mentally she wasn’t ready for some other tangent she could come up with. “I-I’m fine,” Elena says with an attempt not to stutter. Caroline has a talent for turning the mood around in the room so when her concern turns to curiosity Elena makes no attempt to wonder why. Maybe it was her biggest mistake of the day. Maybe… When Caroline suddenly tilts her head and furrows her eyebrows to squint at Elena. “What is it Caroline?” Elena chuckles in an attempt to not seem overly uptight. “Where did you get this scarf, it looks really… chic,” Caroline mutters as she carefully examines the seams that hold the scarf together in its elaborate folds. Her eyes sparkle but quickly turn to scrutinize the height in which the scarf seems to scale up Elena's neck. Caroline’s hand darts towards the scarf but Elena slaps it away, before quickly apologizing for her actions. It proves to be futile because Caroline uses her vampire-like speed to rip the scarf off, exposing Elena's wound. “Elena!” The two girls cry. ‘God it’s a cycle,’ Elena grumbles in thought, ‘There’s always a bite and someone gets caught. Just why does it have to be me?’ Desperately, Elena cups her neck in an attempt to cover the exposed wound. “Oh my God Elena! Did Stefan do this to you?” Caroline bursts. Elena wants to say something but no words seem to escape her mouth. “Oh I'm gonna kill him,” she growls. Elena doesn't want to say anything to the remark, if she tried to clarify it wasn't Stefan, Caroline would simply try to pry out who the mystery biter was and if they find out it was Katherine… Elena would not know what to do. “Just let go of it for now, please… for me,” Elena begs as she drops to the ground to pick up the scarf. Like a silent plea, Elena looks towards Bonnie for help, who quickly changes the topic, “Okay… who's ready for the party at the Lockwood's?” “I-I I don't know,” Elena stammers, but Caroline quickly interjects, “No chance, you are coming to the party. After everything that's happened and especially that bite, you are coming to the party. No late excuses and definitely no skipping.” ...
Dear Diary,
I would have said today would be a good day, but then again Caroline and Bonnie found Katherine's bite mark because I stupidly wanted to keep it. Calling it a reminder of Katherine wouldn’t be too far off. I shouldn’t want to remember her. I’m with Stefan. I love Stefan. But I don’t even know if I can say I’m in love with Stefan anymore. It’s wrong. So horribly wrong. But Katherine was just ethereal. She was beyond what is explicable in words. I can understand why Damon and Stefan were caught in her ropes, because I might not be so different from them. If I write this down, I’m scared it’ll be like I’m admitting the truth. I don’t want to admit anything because this can’t ever be anything. I’m in love with Katherine Pierce and I hate that I know it’s true… I let her bite me but it was the sake of her getting out my room as fast as possible. That’s all it can be. All it can ever be.
Elena
______________________________________________________________She looks up at the clock in disappointment. It was about time to go to the Lockwood mansion and Elena was placing her bets on the fact that Stefan would be there and he would definitely notice the bite mark if she was leaving like this. Her gaze hovers over the vial of Katherine’s blood but shifts it towards a make-up palette and white modeling clay. ‘God… this is a horrible idea’ she thought to herself. She whimpers as she pushes some clay into the two little holes in her neck, smoothing it out to the best of her abilities. Once it was about level, she applies some make-up onto it to blend it in. It is stinging, but it is hidden. That's it. She hid it, She hid their little secret. She would never erase them, no matter what.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
At the door of the Lockwood mansion, Tyler looks at Elena scrutinizing her but quickly asks, “Yo Elena, why’d you change? I’ll admit what you’re wearing is still hot, but I liked the one from earlier.”Katherine is here. Elena knows it. She bit her cheek, preventing the hot and dirty fantasy she just had from escaping to her face. “I’m glad you liked it,” she whispered into Tyler’s ears as she smirked, walking past him and into the crowd. Elena had no idea what came over her. She knows it wasn’t her in the dress Tyler saw, but she enjoyed the thought of Katherine in a sexy dress as much as Tyler did at this point.Elena wasn’t too sure where to go next. Should she find Caroline and Bonnie or should she find Katherine? She knows that all the wrong things would happen if she went to Katherine, but it would be all the things she would want to have happen. Suddenly she felt some slender fingers land on her trapezius. It must have hit some nerve as she thought of Katherine instantly and let out a light moan. No one would have heard her unless they had vamp hearing and Elena was counting on that, in case it wasn’t Katherine touching her. Elena turns around to meet Caroline and Bonnie.Unluckily for Elena, Caroline happens to also be a vampire and by the face she is making, Elena could tell Caroline heard that moan loud and clear. “Elena… What was that? ”Caroline asks perplexedly.“Nothing…” Elena mumbles in dismay at the person in front of her not being Katherine.“Elena, I brought you to a party to have fun, not fantasize about fun,” Caroline states sternlyElena grows a little flush at the comment, but Caroline steadily drags her to the open bar. Leaning over the bar, she reached for tequila and vodka. “Shots?” she looks over to ask Elena who shrugs absent-mindedly. “Are you.. Distracting me from something Caroline? You don’t even like to drink,” Elena begins to question.“Not at all I’m jus-” but Caroline was interrupted by Elena screaming. Some wound magically appeared on her arm. Her flesh tears itself apart, fiber by fiber and the wound grows deeper.“Oh, my god!” Caroline cries, “What’s happening to you Elena?!”“I don’t know Caroline, if you have something to say, now would be the best time,” Elena mutters under her breath with a hint of hostility, likely due to the tremendous pain that was ripping through Elena’s arm.“Okay,” Caroline said as she scrambled for some towels to stop the bleeding, ”We are trying to kill Katherine.”“What?!” yells Elena but suddenly catches her breath as she can no longer breathe. She begins scraping her fingers along her bruising neckline.“Call Stefan! Now!” Bonnie yells, “I think there’s another witch here. It seems like whatever we’re doing to Katherine-”“We’re doing to Elena,” Caroline and Bonnie say in unison. Caroline speeds up to the room they confined Katherine in and has the brothers stop. Explaining the current dilemma, Katherine couldn’t help but smirk. As Caroline approached the topic of Elena’s injuries, Katherine’s smirk falls to become annoyance. Annoyance at the brothers’ inability to keep Elena safe, even though she was the one connecting herself to Elena “Take it off,” Stefan demands. “Hmm, you miss me that much Stefan?” Katherine chuckles as her finger trails along her dress’ zipper."Take the spell off…” Stefan growls impatiently.“No,” Katherine states.“We should just-” “No!” Stefan, Caroline, and Bonnie yell, interrupting Damon.“Give me the moonstone and let me walk, then you get to have your sweet little Elena alive spell-free,” Katherine proposes placing her hand out for the stone.“No, not the stone. We can let you walk though,” the Salvatore brothers agreed.“Hah, you underestimate me,” chuckles Katherine. “What are you planning?” Stefan glared over at Katherine as he spoke.“Wouldn’t you like to know?” Katherine teases, but shifts her tone cold continuing with, "The moonstone Stefan. Tick tok.” “Whatever you want to do you can’t… You can’t take that choice away from her…”“Maybe I can Stefan."“Oh my god Stefan! Are you actually considering this?! God I should have killed you after what you did to Elena! Bite her neck? Seriously? And now you’re letting Katherine have her way with her? You’re horrible!” Caroline yells, attempting to haggle to moonstone from the brothers. Stefan’s mouth opened to refute Caroline’s allegation, but suddenly the door swung wide open. Elena had somehow made her way upstairs.She has been following Caroline and Bonnie since they left her at the bar. The girl was completely beat. Her whole body swayed and fell inside the invisible boundary Bonnie had set which was holding Katherine captive. “Katherine…” Elena mumbles. Her vision was patchy, she could barely see her surroundings. She focuses all her attention on Katherine and smiles as joy overtakes her, she's missed Katherine since that night. Her ears deafen of any sounds surrounding her while she clenches her fists at the thoughts of Katherine being so close, but not quite close enough. She pulls her body closer to Katherine as she squirms on the floor occasionally due to the many wounds she suffered under the spell. The spell linking her to Katherine. “Bonnie take the barrier down! Elena’s-” “I know! You need to give me time!” Bonnie said interrupting Stefan’s plea.“You know I won’t leave nor will I stop until I get everything I want,” Katherine said sternly as she began to list her demands again. “Moonstone and freedom Stefan,” Katherine said smirking.“God Stefan!” Caroline yells successfully snatching the moonstone and tossing it to Katherine.“I told you, I always get what I want,” Katherine smirks, her gaze hovering over Elena who had tears in her eyes.“Katherine… Please…” Elena begged as her friends stared at her dumbfoundedly. The two girls were in their own worlds as they stared into each others’ eyes. “You’ve got everything you want, so get out!” Caroline yelled as she ran to shelter her wounded friend, kicking Katherine out of her thoughts. Katherine turned to speed out the window but Elena whispered, “Not again… No… Stay…” causing Katherine to stop in her tracks. Everyone caught onto this hesitation narrowing their eyes onto Katherine, carefully assessing her behavior. Only for her to disappear seconds later, leaving Elena all alone.Like the night before. All alone.

Smirking, Katherine thrusts a finger in between her legs, causing everyone in the room to gasp. “The moonstone Stefan. Tik… ah… tok… or I’ll end up fucking your girlfriend before you do,” snickers Katherine playfully as she quickens her pace. Katherine was enjoying the Scooby-Doo gang’s shock, but admittedly, her enjoyment was primarily derived from the thought of giving Elena the pleasure she was feeling. “You can’t do this… You can’t take that choice away from her…” “Maybe I can Stefan.” “Oh my god Stefan! Are you actually considering this?! God I should have killed you after what you did to Elena! Bite her neck? Seriously? And now you’re letting Katherine fuck her? You’re horrible!” Caroline yells, attempting to haggle to moonstone from the brothers. Stefan’s mouth opened to refute Caroline’s allegation, but suddenly the door swung wide open. Elena had somehow made her way upstairs.She has been following Caroline and Bonnie since they left her at the bar. The girl was completely beat. Her whole body swayed and fell inside the invisible boundary Bonnie had set which was holding Katherine captive. “Katherine…” Elena moaned. Her vision was patchy, she could barely see her surroundings. She focuses all her attention on Katherine and smiles as pleasure begins to overtake her. Her walls tighten and clench at the sensation of fingers curling and hitting every erogenous region inside of her. She pulls her body closer to Katherine as she writhes on the floor erratically. Elena knew that Katherine was as close as she was. They were truly connected mind, body and possibly soul. Elena wondered if this was the magic or just her connection to Katherine. “Bonnie take the barrier down! Elena’s-” “I know! You need to give me time!” Bonnie said interrupting Stefan’s plea. “You know I won’t leave nor will I stop until I get everything I want,” Katherine said sternly as she began to list her demands again. “Moonstone and freedom Stefan,” Katherine said smirking. “God Stefan!” Caroline yells successfully snatching the moonstone and tossing it to Katherine. “I told you, I always get what I want,” Katherine smirks, her gaze hovering over Elena who had tears in her eyes. “Katherine… Please…” Elena begged as her friends stared at her dumbfoundedly. The two girls were in their own worlds as they stared into each others’ eyes. “You’ve got everything you want, so get out!” Caroline yelled as she ran to shelter her aroused friend, kicking Katherine out of her fantasy. Katherine turns to speed out the window but Elena whispers, “Not again… No… Stay…” causing Katherine to stop in her tracks. Everyone stops in their tracks at Elena’s words. As everyone stares at Katherine, Elena brings her shaking body to stand up and she pushes herself towards Katherine and tumbles onto her. Elena clings to Katherine’s dress tightly. Narrowing her eyes, Caroline widened them in seconds as if she realized something. “You… You’re the one who bit Elena, aren’t you? Not Stefan,” Caroline scrutinized as she looked towards the doppelgangers. “Now we are getting somewhere. Yes, I bit Elena,” Katherine said as she spun her body to face the gang, rolling her eyes at their late discovery. All their eyes were on Katherine’s and she gently caressed Elena’s head as they were distracted. “I always get what I want. And it seems like Elena will too tonight,” Katherine snickered as she sped away with Elena in her arms.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Really?” a feminine voice giggles as footsteps tread up the stairs of the Gilbert home.“Of course Anna, they're all at the Lockwood mansion. No one will be home,” Jeremy chuckles.Jeremy opens the door to his room and intertwines his fingers with Anna’s as their palms clasp together. Pulling Anna into the room, Jeremy turns to the door and locks it shut. He walks to Anna's direction and stops at his desk. Opening the bottom left drawer, he digs into it looking for something. He pulls out an elaborate bracelet and walks towards Anna. “What’s this about?” Anna questions with a soft smile.“Oh it's nothing, Elena was telling me about the bracelet and how it has some power to protect whoever’s wearing it. She told me that if I ever met anyone I liked I should give it to them,” Jeremy mutters as he paced around Anna holding the bracelet out, “May I?” he asks when he stops in front of her.“Yes you may,” Anna chuckles as she brings her wrist out towards Jeremy, who brings a knee down to access her wrist easily. As the bracelet wrapped itself around Anna’s porcelain skin, she hisses and retracts her arms in contact with the bracelet. Her wrist was rashed and reddened. Her eyes darkened and veins grew for a second but disappeared instantly. Her other hand caresses the burnt wrist seemingly to ease the pain. She glared at Jeremy when her hand seemed to recover to its previous porcelain state. “You knew didn't you!” Anna snarls. However, Jeremy simply looked at her in confusion and part awe. Snapped out of his trance, he says, “You're beautiful, if only I had known.”“If only you had known!? Your sister is dating the likes of me! How would you not have known, I was a fool to think–” “What? What do you mean? Wait a minute Anna, what are you saying? The likes of you? What… are you?” Jeremy mumbles as he steps back furrowing his brows. Anna scoffs at the realization that Jeremy had no clue of what vampires were. She cocks her head forward, frowning just slightly, and says, “If you want to know I believe your sister writes it all down in her diary… I'm sorry you had to find out this way…” Then Anna speeds out of his window and Jeremy is left breathless and confused. ______________________________________________________________ Minutes later Jeremy finally processes what he had just learned. His sister was lying to him. Keeping something huge from him. Hiding something. He intended to learn the truth. Jeremy runs to his sister's room and carefully scours the entirety until he reaches a painting. It was crooked. Out of place. He stretches his hand beneath the painting to find what he had been looking for. Elena’s diary. Opening it, he brushed his finger to the date after their parents death and to labor day, the day she likely first met Stefan. Nothing. The first party of the year. Caroline was found with bite marks. “Now we're getting somewhere,” Jeremy whispers under his breath. He got angrier as he read, realizing Elena was holding back the truth from him about many things, especially when he found out about Vicki. However, once Jeremy got to the last few days, he starts learning more about vampire behavior and he reads about Elena and Katherine. Katherine had drunk out of Elena and he couldn't quite decipher the rest as Elena had made quite an effort to hide the rest of her entry. He stops upon reading the last line. He narrows his eyes in shock, anger, and betrayal but he pushes it aside as he realizes one thing: “Elena is in danger…” His eyes dart up to the clock in Elena's room and realizes it’s midnight. He quickly places Elena's diary back and pushes the painting to be slightly crooked again. He runs down the stairs and bolts out the door to run to the Lockwood mansion in hopes for Caroline, Bonnie, and the Salvatore brothers, though he did not like them for what they did to Vicki, from what he read, Katherine was far worse than them and Elena was wrapped in her net.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Elena lies on her bed, tucking her knees up to her chest. Her bedroom door quietly falls open. Elena doesn't bother looking for who it is because she assumes it might just be Jenna or Jeremy checking in on her, but when a voice echoes, “What are you all pouty for? Didn't you enjoy it?” She looks up to see Katherine and plays off a confused look. “You're coming through a door and not the window?” “Do I look like a horny seventeen year old who needs to sneak through a girl's window?” Elena chuckles at the remark but then retorts, “Yeah, you do look like one.” A comment to which Katherine feigns heartache as she holds her chest stepping closer to the young girl. She arrives at the table across the bed and leans her back against it to face Elena while crossing her arms. Silence quickly overtakes the room but fails to drown out the ever growing tension. Elena relaxes her muscles and begins to spread her body over the bed, all while ruffling the sheets loud enough for Katherine to notice. Pushing her own body against the headboard, she stares at Katherine asking, “So what are you here for?” “Assuming the spell was working and you felt exactly as I felt, I’m confident I left you very displeased.” Katherine states matter-of-factly. Elena scoffs, smiling, “Why did you even do that?” “Your Salvatore pets have been digging holes in my plans, they need to be punished,” Katherine says, scolding her. “Wait, my pets? I thought-” “Now you're missing the point Elen-” “How does punishing them have anything to do with… well… me?” “They're obsessed with you, obviously because you look like me, and... that's it,” “Really? That's all? Is there nothing else?” “Do you want there to be anything else?” Elena remains silent at Katherine's remark. ‘Obviously I want there to be more,’ Elena thinks, but voices none of her thoughts. “I thought so,” Katherine says as she begins to walk towards the window. “Wait, where are you going?” Elena exclaims in a last ditch effort to keep Katherine in the room. “What? Do you want to follow me home?” Katherine’s lips curl to a smirk as she teases. Elena shakes her head and smiles lightly before forming a frown as a thought approaches her mind. “You said… earlier you said that the spell made me feel what you felt… and how you knew I felt like I needed more of you. You knew because that's what you felt right? So why are you leaving now? Why are you leaving me again?” Elena mutters as her brows narrows closer and eyes plead with a hint of desperation. Gripping her bedsheets as she waits for Katherine's response, she grows nervous.Katherine spins on her heels and looks towards Elena. Spotting her neck which was no longer wounded. “Looks like you drank it,” Katherine notes as she sways the directions of the conversation elsewhere.Tilting her head in confusion, Elena notices Katherine's gaze on her neck and touches her wound with her finger tips. Elena begins to dig the clay out of her wounds, making a grimace as it starts bleeding again from the pressure. The sight makes the vampire speed to Elena's lap, eliciting a gasp from the young girl as Katherine straddles her, applying pressure against her clit. She swipes Elena’s hand away from the neck wound and uses her pointed nails to carefully scrape the clay out with precision. Katherine used her fingers until it was visibly clean.‘This is a horrible idea,’ Katherine grumbles to herself as she pulls Elena closer to clean the wound with her tongue, hoping to use her keen sense of taste as a way to make sure all the clay was gone and all that was left for her to taste was pure doppelganger blood. Elena moans as Katherine's hot and moist tongue touches her neck, lapping her injury. Katherine's gentle ministrations has Elena gripping onto the vampire’s back. “You'll get some measley human infection if you do something like that…” Katherine mumbles under her steamy breath. “I didn't know you cared,” Elena replies panting. ‘Why wouldn't I?’ Katherine thinks, ‘... Only because you might be useful… that has to be the reason…’ then she starts to suck on the punctures she left last night while she loses herself in thought. She brings her hands around Elena's petite body and places her fingers under Elena’s shoulder blades applying light pressure, forcing Elena to lean against her. “Please Katherine…” “What?” Katherine huffs as she stops leaving imprints on her doppelganger. “Tell me why you're doing this to me…” ‘I need you to bargain with Klaus?’ “Do I need to spell it out for you Elena?” “Yes, you do,” Elena whispers out to Katherine who pulls her head back from the young girl's neck. ‘No, you're more than my bargaining chip…’ Katherine reluctantly realizes. She smirks, whispering back, “You know I lov–” but is interrupted by Elena crashing her lips against Katherine’s. The vampire narrows her eyes in confusion at the younger girl while reciprocating the kiss. “I… I know you don't…” Elena exhales into Katherine’s mouth as they deepen the kiss, she feels a smirk lining across Katherine‘s mouth. ‘Except sweet Elena, you may not know as much as you think.’ This time, unlike last night, Katherine does not completely dominate Elena's mouth. She let Elena take some charge as she made sure to savor the taste of the younger doppelganger. She carefully explores every region of Elena's mouth, caressing every corner. Suddenly, Elena lunges her tongue to the depths of Katherine’s mouth and the two aggressively seek the taste of each other. They push the pacing higher and tears begin to fall from Elena's eyes, leading Katherine to part their lips as she rubs Elena's tears away with her thumbs. “Something’s wrong with me…” “And why would you say that?” “Because of you Katherine…” “No, it's not because of me, you and I both know that much.” “Because I love you Katherine, and no matter how much I push it away, hide it, it's always there. My need for you is self-perpetuating, in every moment…” Elena whimpers as one of her hands fist her T-shirt and the other glossing over Katherin’s fingertips, “but you… you're obsessed with Stefan…” “So what do you want?” Katherine questions. “A night… An eternity…You would never look at me, the way you look at Stefan… would you?” ‘I already have…’ Katherine thinks to herself. “A night? I can give you that.” Katherine responds with a smirk plastered on her face. ‘So can I give you an eternity, but not now… not yet.’ she continued in thought. Katherine, trailing her fingers from Elena's back, to her shoulders, up her neck and to her cheeks, pulls Elena's face towards her and her lips hover over Elena’s. Their heavy breaths stir to an intoxicating and rousing steamy heat, pulling them closer to each other. “So Elena, a night? Tell me what you want tonight," Katherine whispers as their lips graze each other. “Katherine, please… finish what you started…” Elena whines as she opens her slack mouth to lightly kiss the edges of Katherine’s lips. She brings her hands around Katherine’s waist, but Katherine slaps them away and ties them to the bedposts that line with the headboard. Elena widens her eyes in shock at Katherine’s speed but quickly gets comfortable as Katherine begins to straddle her. “I can do you one better. Are you ready?” Katherine asks rhythmically with her body flowing against Elena's smoothly. To which Elena firmly nods. Upon Elena's confirmation, Katherine rips Elena's clothes off to shreds, leaving the young girl in her lacy lingerie. Slender fingers trace Elena's bra narrowing themselves to the concealed areola. Suddenly, the hands wrapping around Elena’s breasts sweep themselves under her bra and the fingertips roll themselves against her nipples, twisting them. Holding Elena's nipples up against the bra, Katherine brings her mouth over it and gently sucks the erect left nipple through the lace bra. The added friction causes Elena to moan.Once Katherine was satisfied she snakes her hands around Elena's back to reach for the clip. Unclipping the bra, she throws it across the room. Finishing things off near Elena's upper body, she circles her tongue against the two exposed areolas and dresses them with her mouth’s affection.Katherine shifts her body off Elena’s as she drags her face against Elena's chest, stomach, and lower abdomen, lightly rubbing her open mouth against each inch. Arriving at Elena’s laced panties, she brushes her fingers against the covered mound a few times before taking her index finger, slowly pushing it into Elena’s core after she had stroked it a few times. Katherine’s elaborate probing has Elena hitching her breath when Katherine’s finger penetrates her. The lace panties that were once covering Elena are slowly beginning to be covered with a slickness as it enters into Elena repeatedly, guided by Katherine’s finger.The heat inside Elena's core grows with the added friction roughly applied through Katherine’s rapidly paced pumps. The tugging from Katherine’s movement leads to Elena’s panties chafing her ass which contracts her sphincter, which then tightens the rest of her lower body, as well as her inner walls. Elena’s walls begin to grip against Katherine's clothed finger which has Katherine smirking at her ability to work Elena's body well. Plunging her finger in one last time, she curls it in the depths of Elena's core and begins to pull her finger out along with the lace panties she hooks her finger onto. She whisks Elena panties off with the flick of her wrist, tossing it aside like she had done with the bra minutes ago.The young doppelganger lay completely bare and the Bulgarian-born quickly removes her top and bottom, leaving herself in a black lingerie set. Her hands now tracing the stilettos straps in preparation to remove them from her ankles. Katherine neatly places her items on the edge of Elena's bed and shifts her attention back to the restrained girl. Left arm tied to the left bedpost. Right arm tied to the right bedpost. Her legs, which had been twisted together, slowly unravel as Katherine’s eyes drift towards them. The girl’s body was completely spread and open for the vampire to explore as she wished. Katherine speeds on top of Elena again and works her hands against the perky boobs in front of her. Giving them a few light squeezes as the area her hands cup grow smaller, she rubs her fingers along Elena’s bare areola. Lowering her head, she licks around the surface of Elena's breast, slowly narrowing her attention to the areola she had been playing with. Tongue circling the right areola, her mouth slowly covers it as she gives the nipple a harsh pull by sucking and biting on it roughly. The sensation sends a jolt across Elena's body, prompting her body to jerk up towards Katherine and her to strain at the ropes that tied her hands down. “Patience Elena,” Katherine coos as she leaves sloppy open-mouthed kisses across Elena's chest while she moves to the other nipple. The erect nipple waits for Katherine to perform the same ministrations on it. The vampire swirls her tongue around the nipple and strokes it gently before leaning in to nibble and bite it. This alone had Elena's core hotter than ever and dripping in arousal. The girl's inability to move leaves her whimpering for more attention. Katherine pays no mind. She looks up at Elena’s teary eyes before using her teeth to nibble at the hardened nipple. Hovering over Elena’s round globe, she bares her fangs to make an incision above the areola and begins to drink the blood while Elena lets out heady gasps. Traces of blood were left all over Katherine’s mouth and hands as she circles around the wound with her fingers while she muses the next steps to pleasuring her sweet doppelgänger.Katherine is on her knees as she hovers over Elena. She feels her core exuding a hot and wet arousal, spilling past her panties, onto Elena, which, between her legs, she feels Elena shudder. Feeling her own neediness grow, she lowers her hips so she can drop her weight onto Elena. She leans forward and arches over her doppelganger. Brushing her nose along Elena’s flush cheeks, she inhales deeply while tracing up and down. With each breath, Katherine’s chest met Elena’s. Abruptly, the vampire collides her lips with her doppelganger, ravaging her mouth. Enveloping her mouth, over and over and over again vigorously. Elena, overcome by Katherine’s fervor, chokes as she struggles to keep up with the older woman's aggressively rapid pacing.Shifting her body off for the young girl to breathe, Katherine drapes her lips over Elena's neck and cleans a surface with her tongue. Glancing over to Elena’s eyes for approval, once she receives it, she bites down onto her neck. As fangs sink into the old wound, Elena squirms in Katherine’s grasp. Her heart races. Her breath hitches.‘It’s not the blood loss… it’s Katherine… all Katherine,’ Elena concludes as the vampire’s touch begins to drive her crazy for more. She arches her back to bring her body closer to Katherine’s. Hands still tied against the bedposts, the most contact Elena is able to initiate is bringing her chest closer to Katherine’s, just enough so they touch. The proximity alone sends shivers down her spine and butterflies flutter all over her body. She needs more. She locks her body in an arched position but topples over after a few minutes of Katherine drinking from her. Panting from exhaustion, Elena whimpers at the lost contact.Upon hearing Elena's cries, Katherine releases her hold of the girl and pulls her head back. Darkened eyes staring deeply into Elena’s. Eyes that are endlessly inviting yet dangerous. Veins protruding under her eyes, paving way to the blood smears against her cheeks and lips that drip blood from her mouth to her jawline. Slacking her jaw, Katherine circles her tongue around the exterior of her mouth to capture Elena's taste in its entirety.She paints her slender fingers with Elena’s scarlet blood as she traces the wound and licks them clean one at a time. Index. Middle. Ring. Pinkie. Finally, she lathers her fingers with blood once again, only to pinch against the surroundings of the wound to stop the bleeding. Promptly, Katherine moves between Elena’s legs that are spread wide open as Katherine guides them to part with a hand on each thigh. Gliding back and forth along her thighs, gripping them tightly as she shifts up and down. Her hands shoot up to grind against Elena’s groin. Katherine’s fingers stray from Elena's inner thighs. One darts itself on her clit and the other massages her folds.The crimson painted fingers coasting along Elena’s folds slip in and out of the threshold of her cunt. Elena is not the only one writhing at the sensations, Katherine’s core tightens at the sight of Elena, at the feeling of Elena like this. The young doppelganger evokes a ravenous side of her. One that leads her to plunge two fingers deep into Elena's core. Thrust after thrust takes Katherine deeper into Elena, who follows the rhythm while rolling her eyes back. Every pump aggressively brought onto Elena has her blood mixing with her arousal. Each push Katherine makes inside her, Katherine curls her fingers, even as she reaches Elena’s hilt. Walls tightening. Body tensing. Just as Elena touches her orgasm, Katherine pulls out leaving Elena’s core aching for a release.Staring down at Elena sprawling on the bed, Katherine’s dark eyes glint with hunger. She dips her head downwards, flattening her body against the crumpled sheets. Every steamy breath she takes leaves shivers crawling up to Elena’s core. Every inch of Elena's body shudders in overwhelming pleasure. Katherine wraps each of her arms over Elena’s legs. Then under Elena’s petite body gripping below her bust to tug the young doppelganger’s hips closer to her mouth.Gently, Katherine licks over Elena’s folds and savors every taste she gets from Elena’s slick cunt. With every touch, a shock runs through Elena's body and she squirms, bucking her hips for more attention before Katherine pins Elena down with her arms. “Patience Elena,” Katherine coos once again, while her fingers trace under Elena’s bust. ‘No, screw patience,’ Katherine thinks to herself. ‘I want to give it all to her…’ she clarifies just as her tongue shoots up Elena’s walls, and back down, and further up, and back down. The taste of Elena and her blood makes for a delicacy that Katherine knows she won't be able to let go of. Further and faster each time, even as her tongue reaches the hilt, even as the walls clench against it, even as the taste causes Katherine to feel the same, react the same.When Elena reaches her climax, Katherine lets her fall over the edge and under an ethereal pleasure. At the moment in which Elena does, Katherine hits it as well, but she attempts to ignore it after some hesitation. Katherine replaces her tongue from inside Elena with her fingers. Languidly pumping as Elena lands from her high. Licking everything that spills from Elena. Katherine unties Elena's wrist from the bedposts and thoroughly works the rest of Elena’s body around to carry her to the bathroom tub. She bathes Elena gently just like the other night.Katherine wasn’t expecting Elena to handle much. Certainly not, after she had drained a lot of her blood and because this would be the second night in a row. Elena drowsily wraps her arms around Katherine’s neck as she is carried once again by the vampire. Elena’s grip was tight, not that Katherine could not break it, but she knows Elena will wake if she did. So the two lay on the bed until Elena throws one of her arms over, so she is openly splayed out on the bed. Katherine slowly creeps off the bed and stares at her younger counterpart.As Elena sleeps soundly, Katherine crawls over her one last time and covers her neck with little kisses and lathers her tongue under Elena’s jaw. She lightly closes her lips as she traverses around the young girl's jawline. Only when Elena lets out a light grumble does she halt her movements. She lifts herself from her elbows that were supporting her body. Shifting, with her arms on each side of Elena’s head, propping her body just above the girl's. She bends over, places her lips on Elena’s forehead, before whispering, “… I love you Elena… But I need to go. Know I will always be here for you. Always. Wait for me forever … please.” Taking in one last deep breath to hold on to the scent of her doppelganger, Katherine proceeds to raise her body and she leaves once again.
