damon salvatore, katherine pierce

Who: Katherine (playing as Elena, with Lexi's permission!) & Damon
What: Kat playing mind games with her delusional former playtoy.
When: Backdated because Stephanie fails at doing things on time, Friday [4-27-2012] after this conversation
Where: A park
Rating/Status: TBD/In progress

After realizing how out of sorts Damon was, Katherine saw a chance to act. If she could plant any of the number of ideas running through her mind in his head and convince him of it, maybe, just maybe, she could at least have one of her brothers back. In the grand scheme, Damon wasn't the one she wanted, but he would do since Lexi was so heavily guarding Stefan these days. She could settle, if she could get his head back on straight.

The idea of meeting with him came immediately once she realized he thought that she was Elena. The park seemed like a good, neutral place to meet and she hoped no one that knew the oh-so-subtle differences between she and her doppleganger were around to point things out to him. No matter how it went, at least she could have some time to play.

Since they were practically mirror images of one another, it didn't take much, aside from the right style of clothes, for Katherine to pull off the Elena-look. The real test came in the way she acted, how she spoke, but she had done it plenty of times before and it wouldn't be any different now than it had been before.

One last glance in the mirror before she left her house and she was on her way to the park. There were so many ways this could go and so many scenarios running through her mind. Katherine just hoped she could twist it all in her favor in the end.

Damon had never been on the brink of death before, but he was certain that this was what it felt like. His shirt was drenched with his sweat but his skin was cold and clammy to the touch. Every symptom he was experiencing was a symptom attached to a fatal condition - a werewolf bite. He’d spent so much time in the past few days looking over every inch of his body for a bite but he couldn’t find so much as a scratch. It was puzzling, but not the strangest thing he’d experienced since slipping through the seal.

He’d never compiled a bucket list before, but now seemed to be a good time to get certain things out in the open. He had already told Elena via the com system that he loved her. Now all he wanted was to see her one last time face to face. He washed his face and combed his hair, but the face in the mirror was anything but its pleasant usual self. Damon was paler than usual and looked like he was going to fall over dead at any moment.

There were fewer people out on the streets than usual. He wasn’t the only person sick. The people that usually milled about town with pleasant expressions on their faces were home in bed or crowding the hospital emergency rooms. Maybe some were as bad off as he was.

Damon bumped into a man and found himself even more unsteady than he had been. He scrambled to hold onto the back of a park bench. Would he even get to see Elena before he fell over dead?

Katherine was sitting on a park bench waiting for Damon to show and was caught off guard when he practically fell into the bench she was sitting on. "Oh my god, Damon," she jumped up to her feet, actively making her actions slower, as close to human speed as she could. "Are you okay?"

She was a bit shocked at just how bad he was at this point. He had mentioned it was hitting him fast and hard, but she hadn't expected this. "Come on, sit down," she said, shaking her head slightly, guiding him to sit down. "You're worse than I expected you to be." she admitted, her eyes sweeping over him again.

Damon didn’t really give an answer. “Elena,” He spoke her name in a ragged murmur. If he looked bad he sounded just as bad. He leaned on her as she assisted him to a seating position on the bench like some kind of angel. Damon had second thoughts about her seeing him in this condition. She was already sick. He didn’t want her sick with worry, as well. Still, his desire to see her face in person won out. It could have very well been the last time he saw her. He couldn’t miss out on that sort of thing.

“What can I say?” He smirked and let out a short cough. “I don’t do things halfway.”

“I needed to see you.” Damon confessed in a low voice. His hand snaked over to hold hers in a weak grasp.

"That's for sure." She shook her head and resisted the attempt to roll her eyes. She couldn't believe this was working. He really was out of it. Far more than she thought.

Katherine took his hand in her own, giving it a gentle squeeze. That was an Elena thing to do, right? "Needed to? Stop talking like you're a dead man walking, Damon. They're gonna figure this all out and everyone's going to be fine. Including you."

"Yeah..." His voice was monotone from being so exhausted. With the way things were going and how they seemed to be getting worse he had little hope for recovery. He didn't want to stress Elena out and so he left it at that.

"I'm just..." He trailed off into silence for a second or two. What was it that a person was supposed to tell the one they loved in those last few moments they were together? Damon tried to think. "You just need to know..." He let out another cough and then a pathetic sort of wheeze. "I love you."

That was it. If he died she would know how he'd felt about her. It had been that way shortly after he'd met her. If he lived... Well, wouldn't that be awkward? Still, Damon felt that it was absolutely worth the risk.

Katherine watched him, his body language, every last detail she could take in. She was studying him for her own intents and purposes, but she made it look far more worried and concerned than she felt.

"What?" she asked softly, hoping to prod whatever it was he was hesitating about out of him. "What is it?"

And there it was. Meant for Elena, and meaning significantly less considering the specific Salvatore it was uttered from, but it was something, and that was always better than nothing. "Damon...." she bit her lip. What could she say? She didn't know the details of Elena's life here as she had last time she pretended to be her back in Mystic Falls.

Finally, she looked up at him, fingertips just barely grazing his cheek to turn his face towards her own. "You know I care about you, Damon. So much. But...Don't just tell me that because you think you're dying...tell me because...you're going to do something about it when you live through this." It was a risk. A big one, but...if she could have this intimate little moment, something that he could hold onto, she could use it against him later.

Damon looked slightly disappointed. He had hoped for things to be easier. A simple 'I love you' and then perhaps Elena saying that she really loved him, too. He should have known better. Things are never really that simple. He saw a little bit of hope, though. She hadn't completely blown off the sentiment. It seemed like she just needed to know that he really meant what he felt.

"I've loved you for a long time, Elena. Long before I got sick." He rubbed his eyes a little. With this sickness it felt like it took a lot of energy just to sit up straight and speak in an audible tone of voice. Damon lifted his hand and gently brushed his fingertips over her cheek. His hand trembled slightly from weakness. Slowly, Damon leaned in close and placed a tender kiss on her lips. Though he was sick and not looking his best, the moment felt incredibly romantic. He remained close and kissed her once more. Suddenly he was more determined to live through the sickness than ever.

For a long moment, Katherine wasn't really sure what to think. The silence, it was killing her. If he would just say something, anything, it could give her a clue as to whether or not he believed it, or if he was doubting it.

Finally, he spoke again, and seconds later he was leaning in to kiss her, his hand against her cheek. Katherine closed her eyes, one hand reaching up to rest on his own, and she decided she would just pretend it was Stefan. When she pulled away, she smiled slightly. "You'll be fine, Damon, and when you are...we'll talk."
