(Hermia's p.o.v.)

"Hermia... Hey, Weirdo, come on, wake up." It was Damon, trying to wake me up. "Give me that blood bag, Elena, please." I felt some blood sinking into my mouth, which wake me up immediately. "Great, you're awake. Drink."

"Thank you, Damon and Elena" I said, weakened. My witch side was like a human side, I could catch a cold or faint just like I did. Anyway, I couldn't handle the truth, my uncle killed my father. I wouldn't see him again, to tell him how sorry I was and how much I loved him.

I sat on the couch, next to Elena, who hugged me.

"I know how you feel." She said to me, "I lost the biggest part of my family, my adoptive and biological parents, my aunt. I just have my brother now. I am here, if you want to speak. Moreover your feelings must be intensified, the pain is probably unbearable."

All I could do was nodding. I was a very old orphan. Damon offered me a glass of bourbon, I looked at him, surprised.

"It's the best medicine." He said.

"Damon, I don't drink and you know that."

"In those moments, you can. Just one."

"Damon, thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather prefer something sweet, like a hot chocolate. Please?"

"No problem. I'll make you one, with no alcohol on it, I swear on that bitch." Damon smiled, sincerely.

"Don't dare to call me bitch one more time, because without me you wouldn't be here preparing a hot chocolate for miss Prickly." Katherine said.

"Why wouldn't he be here?" I asked.

Elena told me the whole ritual thing, Stefan who paid for Damon's cure, that's why he wasn't at home now. My mad uncle had a plan to rule the world once again. I learned a lot of what Elena narrate me. There was werewolves in Mystic Falls, Katherine paid for her freedom instead of being in the tomb, but she let her friends starving, and most important : my uncle was an hybrid, again.

"We tried to kill Klaus during the ritual, when he was transforming, well, Bonnie almost killed him, your father was about to rip his heart off, but they talked to each other and they flew away." Damon said, providing my drink.

"What could have make my father changing his mind? And who's Bonnie?"

"Bonnie Bennett is my best friend."

"Wait... Bennett? Just like Emily?"

"Her great great great great great grand daughter. She's a witch too, of course."

"Wow, she must be powerful, isn't she?"

"She did a great job for the ritual, she was our secret weapon. She channeled all the power of the burned witches."Damon stepped in.

I wanted to have my revenge. Find back the corpse of my father and kill my uncle once and for all.

"I have to find Klaus. To kill him. Myself. A personal revenge that benefits everybody. Like my father used to tell me : sometimes there's honor in revenge."

"Are you crazy, weirdo? You are strong, that's true, but Klaus is half werewolf. He can kill you." Damon told, starting to be angry.

"Like I already told you many times, Damon, a werewolf bite can't kill me. It just hurts a lot."

"Please don't do this."

"This is too late to be protective. I don't like to kill people but this time, I have to."

"You don't like to kill people? Well, you are a good actress." Katherine said.

"You, shut up." Damon and I said at the same time.

I realized that Katherine was completely healed, but she stayed with us despite my attempt to kill her.

"By the way, Katerina, why do you stay here? Running away is your favorite activity, as I know." I asked to her.

"I have nowhere else to go."

"I can lock you in the tomb. It would be a pleasure."

"Hermia, she's been useful to us, mostly to me so try to be kinder." Damon said. I was astonished. He took her defense.

"I can lock you in the tomb with her if you want to."

He looked at me with his icy blue eyes, controlling me like the brother he was to me.

"Ok, fine. No tomb. Can I ask you something, Katerina?"

"If it means 'no violent way', yes."

"How did you know my uncle killed my father?"

"I was there. I saw Klaus stabbing your father with the dagger."

"Wait... The dagger? The one I gave to Jonathan Gilbert? With the ashes?"

"Yes, this one."

"You gave that dagger to Jonathan Gilbert?"

"Yeah, a sort of present. I read all his journals. He was paranoid at the end of his life."

"My father, my biological father gave us that dagger to kill Elijah, before we knew he was trustful."

"Elijah wanted to be reunited with the family, he said." Katherine told me.

"My father knew Klaus dropped the bodies of our family. Damn, he trapped my father. Family is the most important thing in his life."

If my father was killed by the dagger, that means if I take the stabber off his body, he would live again.

"I need to meet Bonnie. We will find Stefan, my father, and Klaus. Witchcraft is very useful when you know the good spells."

Sorry guys, this chapter is short, but I was preparing for my holidays in Italy. I will left tomorrow, so I will have the time to write some long chapters.

Anyway, enjoy this one and thanks for all the views :)
