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."
