Look, brother, or whatever I am supposed to call you. 'Retro Damon' is a working title. The one who really fucked us over was Katherine. I know this. I went to the tomb ~ same thing. Katherine was never there. I spent a hundred fucking years missing her and she was free the entire time and never came around - not fucking once. If that doesn't send a red fucking flag or two, I don't know what does. There are a few of them around and I'm not touching a damn one of them.
Katherine does turn up later, and I promise, you won't like it. At least the way I remember it, and my memory is vivid. It took awhile for Stefan and I to really get to the brother stage, but I'll give him credit for not knowing certain key pieces of information. I'm telling you though, the bitch is not worth your time or mine.
