I do not own The Vampire Diaries, although I wish I did, I'd have to be a genius to invent this!
Chapter 1- Dear friends, near enemies. (part 1)
Elena's POV
'Please Lena, do hurry, Miss Petrova & Miss Taylor will soon be here' Mama called from the hall
'Yes mama, I am well aware from the many times you have already called upon me' I giggle whilst walking down the twirling staircase & head for the wooden double doors. Katerina Petrova & Tatia Taylor have been my lifelong friends, although my mother does prefer to call them by their maiden names, not matter how many times we tell her not too. My mother prides herself on her formality & appearance to others, whereas I do not, I pride myself on being me & staying true to my morals, unlike so many I know. Katerina is what you may call a determined woman, she see's something she like she gets it, it's not hard for her with her exquisite beauty & her wealth, Tatia's father is a tailor, but gets paid a rather large amount, she is also mesmerizingly beautiful & wears only the best of the best, but she's my best friend & not like many rich daughters, he mother raised her to be kind & civil, even to those who others feel not worthy. Her mother, Ara, always used to say; 'it is not the wealth that makes you worthy, my dear, but the kindness you show to others' Ara has been my role model since I have had the privilege to know her. Then, there's me, dear sweet Lena, I despise it when people call me Lena, it makes me feel childish & far too young to be 18.
I swing the huge heavy doors open just when Tatia lifts her fist to knock on the door.
'Exceptional timing Elena, I didn't have to lift a finger' Tatia speaks softly, Tatia has a soft side but only feels the need to show it to me, her & Katerina are always going against each other because they're both very strong willed & stubborn as a cow.
'Oh yes, Tatia, just a fist, were you & Katherina planning on having another quarrel?' I ask lifting my brow & we all giggle, except Katherina. 'Do not tempt me Elena, we only stop arguing for your sweet sake' Katerina teases.
'Oh well, I beg your pardon. Shall we go' I enquire softly. 'We shall' Katerina & Tatia say together, as they glare at each other, we burst out laughing & hook arms before I say my goodbye's to my mother.
'oh Katerina, Tatia you look magnificent' I gush over their gowns.
Katerina is wearing a deep purple & white waist hugging dress that makes her looks tiny & petite with ruffles at the top of the bust. The deep perfectly contrasting with her dark chocolate hair. Me & Katerina look almost exactly the same except that her hair is just a shade darker & always wears it up in tight curls & her eyes are a grey-ish silver & makes her eyes look sensual & seductive, whereas mine are a dull dark brown that makes my eyes look doe-like & much too big for my face & much too innocent. Tatia's dress is a light moss green & a dark blue jacket completed with a green bow & gold patterning. The green of the dress made Tatia's emerald green eyes look sharp & bright. They both looked enticing, all of a sudden of felt very plain in my nude coloured collared ruffle dress that did absolutely nothing for me except make my porcelain flawless skin glow.
