One Month Later

"Katelyn?" Katie moved on the bed so she was facing who was asking for her. She saw the cute little face of Andrew, he was light skinned, with blonde hair and baby blue eyes, he was small for a six year old, and Katie loved him very dearly.

"Yes, Andrew?" Katie asked smiling.

"I'm having those scary dreams again and I want to sleep in your bed." Andrew said as he climbed up onto the bed, knowing that she wouldn't say no to him.

Katie wrapped her arm around her brother, and petted his hair as she sang to him an Irish Folk song

I am a wee laddie, hard, hard is my fate,

I have travelled this country both early and late

I courted a wee Iass, I did her adore;

Though she has denied me, I'll try her once more.

Andrew sighed, and moved closer to his sister.

At the late hour of midnight when souls are at rest,

I think of my true love with hope in my breast,

Saying, "The time it is coming and that you will see,

When I'll be with my true love and she'll be with me."

Katie smiled as she sang, she used to sing to her younger siblings all the time back in Ireland, and these were bringing back good memories.

"Oh, it's Johnnie, dear Johnnie, such things cannot be,

As to be with your true love and you be with me,

For to leave father, mother, their poor hearts would break,

For to leave sisters, brothers, and follow a rake."

"Oh, it's Molly, dear Molly, you're not much to blame,

When first I came courting, you scarce were eighteen,

Your parents did slight me because I loved so,

And for that very reason I love where you go.

Katie could hear her brothers breathing becoming shallower, and she knew he was falling asleep.

"Oh, its green grows the holly and so does the rue,

And I'm very sorry at parting with you,

But we'll have merry meetings, our joys to renew,

And we'll leave o'er the false love and start on the new."

Katie finished the song and closed her eyes, thinking about all that had happened in the past month.

On their way to Alaska to find Kenneth and Andrew, they ran into Suzanna, who was on the same mission they were. Suzanna had darker skin with brown hair and startling blue eyes, and she was the oldest sibling, she was very excepting of Katie being a vampire. They found Kenneth and Andrew about 2 weeks after Katie had found Emily, now they were headed to Arkansas to find Julia (their mother), Thomas, and Aunt Jennifer. They had stopped at a hotel in Kansas and were going to make it to Arkansas tomorrow, once they were there they would pin point exactly what city they were.

Katie smiled; they were getting closer to being a family every day. But, every day she was away from Mystic Falls, she missed her friends and him. He was always in her head, the way she smirked when he got his way, how his eyes were portals into his soul, how perfect his face was, how funny he was, and how his laugh sounded on the rare times she could make him laugh. Damon Salvatore was always on her mind.

Of course Kol was in her head, too, but to a much, much lesser extent. Thoughts of him didn't consume her as much, they were quick thoughts, and not really of him, but of things he said.

Katie fell asleep.

Next Day: In Mystic Falls Damon's POV

Everything and everyone was so blissfully happy it seemed. The news of Elena's death rocked the town, but soon people accepted it, all except Bonnie and him. Caroline and Klaus's relationship was coming along pretty well; not very many people where okay with it, and now Rebekah and Blondie where best friends (which was unexplainably weird to him). Rebekah had moved into the Boarding house, and her and Stefan were totally in love with each other (it was sickening). Tyler and some weird thing going on with Jeremy (who knew they were gay?). Matt was still crushing over that Emily chick. And of course Damon was still 100 percent in love with Katie.

She never left his thoughts. Her laugh, her smile, her eyes, everything about her haunted him and all the choices he made that hurt her hurt like a stake through his heart. She was even in his dreams, he had all kinds of dreams about her, his favorite were the dirty dreams (he may be head over heels for the girl but he still is Damon Salvatore and he still loved sex.)This had been the longest fucking month ever.

Damon tossed back another shot; he was sitting in his normal place at the Mystic Grill.

"Still mourning the loss of Katie?" Alaric's voice said from beside him.

Alaric hadn't changed much in the month. He was still sensitive about Elena's death, but he was getting good at coping with loss, and he was now on the annoying mission of finding a woman who wouldn't vamp out and die on him.

"No, I just got over the one girl that ever loved me." Damon shot back, sarcastically.

"No need to be a dick about it." Alaric said as he ordered himself a round.

"That's what I am, Ric. A dick." Damon poured himself another shot, and chugged it quickly.

"She wouldn't want you to drink away your sorrows, Damon. She would want you to have fun, and not be so…Stefan." Alaric told him.

"You can call me many names. But don't ever call me a Stefan again or I take your ring and rip your heart out." Damon was angry about the comment. Nobody EVER called him a Stefan.

"Looks like I hit a nerve." Alaric said, smirking.

Damon just rolled his eyes.

On the road again: Katie's POV

Everyone but Katie was asleep (and that was a good thing, since Katie was the one driving), so she decided to stop at a decent looking gas station to get some gas and food. She filled the car up and went inside to get the food. She grabbed a lot of those mini-muffin things, some Sprite, and chips. She was heading toward the counter when a familiar voice caught her attention.

"Well, hello miss Katelyn." Katherine said from behind her.
