Chapter 6

I need you.

You are the good,

and I need a little good in my life.

Because without it,

there's an awful lot of darkness.

- Stefan -

You want a love that consumes you.

You want passion and adventure,

and even a little a danger.

I want you to get everything you're looking for.

But for right now, I want you to forget

that this happened.

- Damon -

He was your first love.

I intend to be your last.

However long it takes.

- Klaus -

When Katherine opened her eyes, she's already in her room. She slowly remembered the things that happened at the gym.

"How did I end up here?" Katherine asked herself.

She rose up from her bed and walked towards the door but suddenly, she heard a thud then, screaming and cries of pain. She hurriedly ran outside and to her surprise, bodies of dead people are in front of her. She heard a scream.

"Amber!?" She's sure that was her friend's voice.

"Help!" She heard another voice.

"Dawn!? Where are you?" She screamed but she got no answer from them. Another thud was heard. She looked down and saw Drake and Athan's bodies on the floor.

"Oh my god, what is happening here?" She asked herself again. "Paps!?" She screamed again to call her grandfather.

"Hello there, Princess." Someone behind her back spoke. She slowly looked back and she was horrified seeing a man. Fangs protruding from his mouth. His lips and hands filled with blood. His eyes are bright red in color.

"Who are you? What did you to them?" Katherine asked feeling fear and anger at the same time.

"I killed them, I took their lives with my own bare hands. And I saved the best for last. Come here, Princess, I promise it will only take a second." The man said and walked towards Katherine.

"No, don't come near me! No! No!" Katherine screamed so loud hoping someone will help her.

"Kath! Kath! Wake up!" Amber said hearing Katherine's loud scream. She opened her eyes and Amber saw her gold eyes again.

"Kath! It's me, Amber. Relax, your safe. It's only a dream." Amber said trying to calm her crying friend.

"Amber? Oh, Amber..." Katherine said and her eyes came back from its original color.

"Yes, I'm here. Ssshhh, it's just a dream." Amber said while stroking Katherine's back.

"Are you okay?" Amber asked Katherine after she felt that her friend is a little calmer now. Katherine nodded.

"Can you tell me what did you saw in your dream?" Amber asked. Katherine hesitated at first but when Amber holds her hand, she started telling what was her dream. "I was in a room..."

"It's only a dream. Maybe you've pushed yourself into your limits while fighting Drake." Amber said.

"What time is it?" Katherine asked seeing a small amount of light coming from the curtain that is not fully closed.

"It's already morning, sleepy head." Amber said smiling.

"What!? Why didn't you wake me up?" Amber said hurriedly rose from her bed.

"Paps said you should rest for the whole day." Amber said.

"What about work?" Katherine asked stopping her tracks in going inside the comfort room.

"He already called Uncle Lazarus." Amber answered.

"Where are the others?" Katherine asked.

"Downstairs talking to Paps." Amber said.

"You should change, they're waiting for us so we could eat breakfast altogether." Amber said.

"Okay." Katherine said.

"Kath..." Amber said before Katherine could enter the comfort room.

"Yeah?" Katherine replied.

"You knew that we love you, right?" Amber asked and Katherine nodded. "I love you and I'm sorry." Amber said making Katherine furrowed her forehead.

"Is there a problem, Ambs?" Katherine asked looking at Amber with puzzled face.

"Later, hurry up. I'm famished." Amber said with a smile in her face.

"Morning!" Everyone looked back hearing Katherine's voice.

"Morning!" Everyone spoke at once.

"How was your over sleeping?" Dawn asked with a teasing tone.

"It's really great if not only ending it with a nightmare." Katherine said.

"Nightmare?" Thana asked curiously. Katherine sat down on her seat and told them her dream for the second time around. Finishing her story, everyone were really quite.

"You are all creeping me out here." Katherine said still, not hearing anything from the others.

"We should eat first." Serafino broke their silence. The servers place the food that were prepared by the chefs in the kitchen. Katherine creased her forehead seeing new faces serving them.

"Hi, I'm Katherine, are you new here?" Katherine asked while smiling at the server.

"All of them are new." Serafino was the one who answered her.

"Why? Where are the old ones?" Katherine asked.

"Just finish your breakfast first. We will talk a lot of things later." Serafino said making Katherine kept quite. She looked at the people around her. Her friends and Drake's friends, all of them are really quite and it is making her think a lot.

"There's something going on here." She said to herself.

As they finished their breakfast, Lazarus came over with Cassius beside him.

"Uncle Lazarus!" Katherine greeted him giving him a peck on his cheeks.

"How are you, Princess?" Lazarus asked.

"That term again." Katherine said rolling her eyes making Lazarus smiled. She raised her brow when she saw Drake and his friends bowed after Lazarus. She also saw her friends bowed to him. Lazarus bowed after Serafino.

"People! What is going on here?" Katherine said with a serious tone.

Serafino deeply sighed before approaching her granddaughter.

"Let's meet the others first and I will tell everything to you, my Princess." Serafino said. She looked at Amber and when the latter nodded, she followed her grandfather walking towards to where? She doesn't know.
