Katherine was lying lazy on the bed, looking bored at the ceiling. She would kill Klaus for taking her bracelet. Correction, she would let Damon kill him. She was really strong, but yet no match for the Originals. Not that Damon was, but if she had to choose, she believed her afterlife to be more worthy than Damon’s. “Geez, hurry up” she mumbled frustrated. Being locked up in this room was getting on her nerves. And why did the sun have to shine so bright? There was nothing interesting in here and you could only examine Damon’s rubbish so many times. After a while it’s not fun anymore. The door went open and Katherine got up. Finally, she thought. Damon and Elena walked in, looking both bedraggled, which made Katherine immediately suspicious. “What have you two been doing?” she asked slowly. Damon and Elena shared a look. “It’s not what you think” Damon said, with a nearly unnoticed undertone of disappointment. “The car broke down and it’s storming outside, but I bet you’ve heard the rain” he explained. “And you ran through the rain?” Katherine asked contemptuously. “Something like that” Damon replied. Right after Bonnie had cast the spell the sky had split open and it started raining. Bonnie had suggested to let Elena shelter in her house; Damon would have to go home alone and Bonnie would give Elena a lift to her house. Damon had walked away already, because he believed Elena would accept Bonnie’s offer. But when he tried to start the car he saw Elena in front of the car. He let the window down. “Do you have a death wish or something? Get out of the way!” he yelled. Elena walked to the passenger’s side and got in. “I’m coming with you” she said. “Really?” Damon asked suspicious. “Damon, I ran through the rain. I’m soaked. Don’t go question my honesty now” Elena said. “Okay, I just… I assumed you’d stay with your friend” Damon said still surprised. “You assumed wrong” Elena said calm. Damon focused on the car again, with no success. “I can’t get him started” he said annoyed. “Yeah” Elena said pointing at the gas meter. “You forgot to gas” Damon looked and groaned. “God, talking about cliché. Okay, we’ve got two options. We stay here until it stops raining, which could take hours. Or we run” Elena stared at the rain. She knew what she wanted, but that didn’t make it the best option. She sighed and looked at Damon. “We can’t let Katherine wait any longer than she has to” Damon nodded and took the car key before getting out. He open Elena’s door and helped her out. He threw her arm around his shoulder and lifted her in his arms. “Ready? Hold on, here we go” And they raced away.
“Here’s the necklace” Damon said and he threw the necklace to Katherine. She caught it. “You’re not going to tell me what happened, are you?” she said.
Damon and Elena shared another look. “Nope” Damon said.
