It hadn’t been hell, not really, but with the arrival of everyone Elena currently despised, it definitely turned into very, very quickly. First, there was Caroline and then Stefan and Katherine. Now, she’d also spotted Damon poking about the network too. Finally, there was Lockwood and Anna, her brother’s ex-girlfriend, fully corporeal here apparently. All of whom she could do without, but supposedly “Hell” had other plans: to stick her with the very persons all trying to bring back the old Elena Gilbert.

Except for Katherine. The bitch was just out to be what she’d always been: a bitch. She tried pushing Elena’s buttons, slipping under her skin with a indirect shot at her deceased brother, Jeremy Gilbert, but Elena maintained her cold, dead composure. It was Katherine who’d killed him, fed him up to Silas on a silver platter, and the immortal being broke his neck. Jeremy was a supernatural and the ring didn’t bring him back. He was gone and along with him, the last shreds of Elena’s humanity and the girl she use to be. With the pain overwhelming her, driving her mad, Damon told her to do exactly what he did: he told her to run away. He ordered her to flip the switch and, being sired to him, she did willingly. Elena burnt down her house and everything inside, including her brother’s body.

Once the brothers realized their mistake, they went after the cure, but Elena wouldn’t have it. She was better this way, stronger and impenetrable to all emotion. No longer was she weak, ruled by her feelings and thoughts for others, but they didn’t understand that. They didn’t give up on her. So, she’d have to do things the hard way: take lives, kill, and never look back. She’d just taken out a waitress when she was pulled here. The brothers obviously hadn’t been far behind. It was annoying. On top of them, Tyler showed up and then Katherine. She didn’t care about killing Katherine, not anymore, but when she told Anna about what happened to Jeremy, the other woman was all about taking out Elena’s ancestor. Naturally, it was something to do and Elena was bored. Killing Katherine was as good, if not better on some levels than killing anyone else and Elena agreed to meet her at the nearest park to discuss how the two would accomplish this goal. Lockwood would trail her, but considering his own feelings for Katherine were less than warm and fuzzy, she was sure he wouldn’t stop them or interfere. Unless, it was to help them.

Approaching the park, the vampire stuffed her hands into the pockets of her jacket and glanced around. It was empty for the moment; there was no sound, no bugs or animals scratching around. It was truly dead here. The silence clearly eerie for anyone who could be scared or feel, but Elena didn’t care. It was a setting, a place, and that was all. Picking up on the sounds of nearly silent footsteps, Elena turned on her heel, peering through the darkness with keen, clear sight. “Anna?”

There was one key difference between Anna and all of the other people that Elena didn't want to deal with. Anna didn't care if Elena turned her emotions back on or not. As far as her list of priorities at the moment went? It was toward the bottom. Her number one priority, however, was to kill Katherine Pierce.

She knew it was easier said than done. The vampire had been around for a long, long time, and had eluded capture a hundred times over. Katherine had a lot of qualities, but stupidity wasn't one of them. Arrogance, however, was what Anna was hoping would be her maker's downfall. She was so damn sure that no one could take her out, least of all Anna. But if there was one quality Anna had, it was patience. She'd spent over a century looking for a way to get her mother out of the that tomb in Mystic Falls. She already had backup plans in mind. There were two vampire slayers here, and while she'd rather rip out Katherine's heart herself, she wasn't against the idea of using the slayers to serve her purpose either.

As long as Katherine died, that was all that mattered.

Her chest tightened painfully as she thought of Jeremy. She wondered if he'd suffered. If it had been painful. Or if it had been over quickly. She hoped the latter. The grief she felt was intense, but she shoved it aside for the moment. She could deal with her own emotions later, after the deed was done. Because it never should have happened at all. She'd lived over five hundred years as a vampire. She knew that people -- all people -- eventually died. But Jeremy was supposed to live a long life and get married and have children. And now he wouldn't, thanks to Katherine.

She'd sworn that he was alive when she last checked, but according to both Elena and Caroline, he was still very much dead. And while she didn't trust either one of them, their words meant more than Katherine's by a long shot. Her jaw tightened ever-so-slightly as she made her way to the park, glancing around and spotting Elena almost immediately. She heard the brunette's question and she kept her expression as neutral as she could. "Elena."

"I was hoping you wouldn't stand me up," she replied with a small smirk. "I would have been hurt." Not really. Elena couldn't feeling anything, including dislike or hatred. She couldn't even feel mild amusement or pleasure at the thought of killing Katherine. There was no anger, no hatred, or anything. Anna made a suggestion and Elena had nothing better to do with her time. Besides, Katherine took everything from her, her last bit of humanity, her last tie to her old self, why the hell not kill her? Having Anna in on the deal only sweetened it because she had back up and an even better chance to not die. Not that she was scared of dying. She couldn't be with the switch flipped, but self-preservation was still prevalent. If Anna tried anything, Elena still cared enough to defend herself and wouldn't hesitate to kill her.

For all the time Anna spent dead, she certainly didn't look like it. Yes, she was still a vampire, like Elena, but she retained her appearance from before she was staked by Elena's uncle or, rather, her birth father. John would never be her real father; he gave the right up when he gave Elena too his brother and his wife. The other young woman had her black hair, dark eyes, and petite frame and could have easily walked straight out of Elena's memory. Anna was only a few steps away and under Elena's vampire enhanced speed, it disappeared in seconds. Planning someone's death was not exactly something that should be spoke so loudly over such an open space. Thought he park appeared empty, Elena was sure this place had ears and eyes everywhere. It was hell or a part of it. There were no secrets here.

"So, should we skip the pleasantries and get right down to the nitty, gritty killing part?" she asked quietly. "Because I'm pretty sure that is the only reason I signed on to meet you here. Prospect of killing someone, specifically killing Katherine." It could have been anyone and Elena would have gone along willingly. She had no moral compass, no compassion, or remorse to worry about. All she had was a blank, empty slate and she was loving every moment of it. "I'm down for ripping her heart out if you are." It was dirty and a bit disgusting perhaps, but it got the job done, right?

One corner of her mouth turned up slightly at Elena's remark. Somehow she seriously doubted Elena cared one way or the other if Anna had shown up or not. Not if her emotions were turned off. And she had a feeling that if they hadn't been turned off, Elena wouldn't have been so quick to jump on the murder bandwagon. She just wasn't the type. Not really. Hell if Elena hadn't turned off her emotions, she probably never would have agreed to meet up with Anna at all. It wasn't like there was a lot of lost love between them. Or any for that matter.

She was still somewhat unsure what to make of the fact that Elena was now a vampire. The last time she'd seen the young woman, she'd been warning Jeremy that he was holding onto something that could never be. And she'd been right. It had been what prompted Anna to leave that night in Mystic Falls. Even if she hadn't met up with her mom shortly after, she would've left Jeremy alone for good. No matter how alone she was. Five hundred plus years of unlife and she'd been in love with exactly one person.

And now he was dead. Because of her maker.

She didn't flinch or move when Elena moved close, getting in Anna's personal space. They were about to start planning a murder, after all. "Definitely," she answered without hesitation, her voice also quiet. She was fairly certain between the two of them -- and the possible addition of Tyler Lockwood -- they could take Katherine out once and for all. And that was exactly what Anna wanted. She wondered if there was any vervain in the city. Something that would help weaken Katherine so they could get the job done. She'd have to look into that. "Katherine's smart. And she's older than both of us, which means she's also strong. We'll have to be smarter and more careful."

As far as Elena was concerned, the odds were still very much in their favor. Anna was nearly as strong as Katherine and while Elena was still a new vampire, not even a year, there were two of them and one of Katherine Pierce. If they double teamed her, there was a good chance they would come out victorious in this fight, but they had to work together. Elena wasn't stupid; Damon and Stefan couldn't even take out Katherine. Still, maybe their determination trumped the brothers twofold.

"She is, but she's also cocky and at times, overconfident. She doesn't take us seriously," Elena replied with a shrug of her shoulders. "As far as I know, she has no allies here either. Not that she was ever good at playing with others anyway." The other vampire was a user for sure; if she had a partner, they were as good as thrown under the bus most likely. Elijah had been the difference, but Elena believed Katherine cared for Elijah more so than she let out.

"I say we just trap her somewhere, torture her, and then kill her." The torture part came out of left field, but Elena was bored and this was sure to take up more time, right? Besides, why should she get quick and easy. "It'd be fun. It's not like she deserves quick and easy anyway."

Anna was hoping the odds were in their favor, but she knew Katherine far too long, and far too well to underestimate her. She couldn't help but think that Damon and Stefan kept failing to take her out because they weren't properly motivated to do so. Maybe they were both still hung up on her in some weird way. She never pretended to understand the Salvatores. She didn't really care to for that matter.

Elena was right about that, and she wasn't surprised the brunette had come to the same conclusion that she had. "Agreed. Her arrogance is a weak spot." But she wasn't entirely sure about the allies part. "Elijah is here, too." But she was pretty sure Elena knew that. Anna wasn't sure how Elijah would take them killing Katherine, but frankly she didn't care that much about that, either. If he came after them, what could he do? Stake her again?

Elena's suggestion of torturing Katherine genuinely surprised her and she arched an eyebrow. It wasn't that she was against the idea of causing Katherine a lot of physical pain. In fact, she didn't mind it at all. Why should she get off so easily, after everything she'd done? Anna had never actually tortured anyone before. She'd never been interested in causing someone pain for the sake of causing pain. But Katherine wasn't just anyone. "Sure. Why the hell not? She deserves it." She shrugged. If Elena wanted to torture Katherine, she certainly wasn't going to stop her.

Apparently that old saying was true: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Or at the very least, an ally, no matter how temporary.
