I'm NOT Elena. (sequel to I'm NOT Katherine.)

Chapter 18 Ashes and Wine

Karin's POV

Klaus wants to help me?

"What's in it for you?" I asked cocking my head to the side.

He chuckled. "None. Why? Is it so hard to believe that someone like me wants to help a newborn vampire?" He raised an eyebrow with a cocky smile.

I nodded. "Yes, because you're Klaus, always having a meaning behind everything." I said.

"Well, I don't this time." He put his hand out in front of me. "Take a chance darling." He smiled. I sighed looking down his hand, but I realently took his hand as we walked around the pond.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Why should I trust you?" I asked.

He turned to me with a smile. "I don't believe in trust." He said.

I cocked my head  stopping my pace. "How can you not believe in trust? If you want to help me, I have to be able to trust you... Right?" I stated.

"Trust only gets you hurt by others. I trusted my mother, brother, sister... and someone important to me but we all get hurt." He sighed.

"Then how can I believe you?" I asked.

He chuckled with a cocky smile. "You'll just have to wait and see. Believe me."

"But I won’t know until then." I said.

"And you won't believe me until then as well." He shrugged then kept walking. I thought for a second then caught up to him. He looked out at the pond taking a Champaign from a waiter walking by and took a sip. "I heard you have some boy trouble." He smirked.

I rolled my eyes as I crossed my arms against my dress. "You eavesdropped?" I asked.

“I wouldn’t call it eavesdropped. I walked by and just happen to hear your conversation with Bonnie.” He smirked.

“So what? Why would I suddenly want to talk about boys, especially with you?” I asked raising an eyebrow.

He walked in front of me turning to me with a smile as he raised his glass. “…Because I know that you want to find out which Salvatore you actually fancy for. As well I know who exactly who it is.” He smirked.

I raised an eyebrow at him. “You have no clue.” I rolled my eyes and walked ahead of him.

“You did choose Damon at the beginning but as well you chose Stefan because he confessed his sweet feelings towards you, am I right?” I stopped my pace and turned around to what he said.

“….what?” I asked. He walked over to me taking a sip of his Champaign with a small smile.

“When you ran off the bridge, you had to choose and you chose Damon because you were still in love with him and broken. Then when you were in transition, your emotions were high and your mind was everywhere so you chose Stefan because you couldn’t hide the pain that the other dear Salvatore has caused.” He smirked. “As you were with Stefan, you gained feelings and you pushed those feelings to avoid Damon as well, you were sired to Stefan to follow him. Listen to all his commands as well one thing lead to another…” He raised his eyebrow.

I felt my face fall, my mask was breaking apart. I was now in deep wonder, who… what? My head started to heart “Stop….”

“And Elena doesn’t know any of this…” He was inches away from my face. I looked into his eyes as if he was right, but I was unsure.

“I…---I—I don’t love Damon…. It’s Stefan.” I said.

He tossed his head back laughing then back at me. “There you go hiding your feelings, denying. Stefan probably told you, you’re sired to him. You listen to his command, you push your real feelings and run away.” He laughed.

I tried to remember but I remember Stefan did tell me to love him and only him. That he could be better than Damon…. But….but… how?

“If you want to get rid of it…. Turn it off.” He whispered. I looked up at him.

 I thought… should I?--

“You’re sired to him?” I heard a voice I didn’t want to hear. I turned around and saw Damon standing there.

“If it isn’t the other Salvatore,” I heard Klaus said with a grin.

He walked over to us. “How is that possible?” He turned to Klaus still glancing back at me as I looked at the ground then at Klaus.

“It’s possible.” He said.

“How?” Damon asked harshly.

Klaus shrugged. “That’s a mystery I don’t know myself, my friend.” He took a sip of his drink then blurred away, leaving us together.

Possible…. I knew how… because I had feelings for Stefan as a human, becoming a vampire only heightens those feelings and since I was turned by Stefan’s blood…. It was possible just like a hybrid.

I felt the burn of those icy blue flames hitting me. I looked up into Damon’s eyes seeing him wonder about if this was all true. I didn’t want to confirm it, I felt as if I was forced to not too. I turned quickly walking away from Damon.

“Karin!” He called as I heard his footsteps follow me into the building then out front, hitting the lawn.

“Please just leave me alone.” I called back as I walked faster on the lawn. He grabbed my hand pulling me back, I was turned to see those almost happy and sad eyes.

“I can’t.” He whispered. I pulled away keeping my distance.

“You have too.” I demanded.

“Because Stefan said so? You’re sired to him. We can break it.” He said trying to grab my hand, I jerked away.

“Yes because Stefan said so. Because I’m not sired to him, I love him.” I said back, I saw his face went into shock.

“You’re sired to him, even Klaus figured it out. That’s the reason—“

“What do you want me to say?” I backed up “That because I love Stefan is that I’m sired to him. That I don’t want you because of Stefan?! Just because it was his blood, of why I’m sired? Well, I don’t want to believe it no matter how true it is!” I said.

“You’re sired to Stefan?” I heard Elena voice coming out of the house with Stefan. Their faces were both in shock. I shook my head.

Damon turned to them with a little mad face “Yes, she’s sired to Stefan. She follows his command like Klaus’ hybrids.” He said.

I looked to see Stefan’s reaction but all I get was a blank deep thought of unknown.

Sorry it's so short, I just got off of break. Been studying for Exxams all week didn't have time to go on but this week for sure be uploading all stories!!!
