Anguish twisted Damon’s features as he stormed through the tomb with frenzied urgency, ignoring Elena completely. Katherine was his sole focus, an obsession that blinded him. Realizing the cavern of tombs ended with no sign of her, the vampire crashed against the final wall, letting out a muffled cry of frustration. He collapsed to the floor, hands tangled in his hair, questioning the meaning of his sacrifice. Then, his attention was seized by a solitary coffin. With morbid curiosity, he lifted the wooden lid. It wasn’t Katherine. It was a woman of ethereal beauty, pale skin and an antique blue dress. Before he could touch her face, he felt the rhythmic impact of a living heart beating beneath her skin.
