Mystic Falls-1864
Elena winced as the brush tore through her hair roughly. Katherine, her sister was frowning in concentration. She was already dressed and ready. She had gotten ready first, just because well, Katherine always went first.
She was born first, picked first, given gifts first, dated first, got her period first, started walking first well, you get the idea. Katherine was first. She loved the idea of first in best dressed. She always used it as her logic to explain why she was better looking than Elena.
Which didn't really make sense, seeing as they were identical twins.
"Elena, keep you head straight" Katherine whined "How am i to brush your hair when your looking down at that book?"
Elena shrugged, ignoring her sisters complaints.
"Did i or did i not just say stay still? Goodness Elena, it's almost like you aren't looking forward to this dinner" Katherine said. Elena resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
"We go to these dinners every Saturday Katherine, it's not very exciting after talking about the same things, with the same people at the same time, in the same place, every Saturday for ten years" Elena pointed out. Katherine let out a dramatic sigh.
"You're quiet right sister. I do tire of these dinners sometimes. But i'll tell you what i don't tire of, what happens after dinner." Katherine gave Elena a mischievous grin and Elena laughed.
Her sister really was cheeky sometimes. "Well it's nice to know you got the interesting brother. Stefan doesn't seem interested in me at all" Elena complained. Katherine frowned.
"I heard he has a thing for that Alexia Branson girl" Katherine gossiped. Elena sighed, it figured that she'd get the brother who wasn't even looking to be with her.
Some part of Elena was relieved. She didn't feel anything romantic towards Stefan. He was more like a brother or a cousin to her. She had known him since she was about seven years old.
After dinners, while Katherine was off with the other Salvatore, Damon, Elena and Stefan would go and spend time in the library. They would talk for a while but then just go off and read on separate sides of the room.
Katherine finished brushing Elena's hair and twisted it into a low loose bun at the nape of her neck, letting a few tendrils of hair frame her face. Elena smiled at her reflection as she looked up from her book. Katherine was smiling as well. She always took special care with making sure her and Elena looked different.
Katherine always wore her chocolate curls down, while Elena's dead straight bangs were always in a loose bun. Katherine was wearing a deep purple dress and Elena was wearing blue.
"Beautiful" Katherine said, as much to herself as to Elena. Elena smiled. She always loved having Katherine do her hair and make up, she did it so well. For someone who insisted on being the better looking twin, Katherine did try to make Elena look just as stunning as her.
"Thank you" Elena said, dog-earing her book. Elena stood up and looped arms with Katherine. They both stepped from the room and started descending the stairs. Their mother was waiting down stairs, her straight hair worn down, over the shoulders of her crimson red dress.
"You two look beautiful" she beamed. Elena smiled happily and Katherine just nodded.
"So do you mother" Elena said, hugging her mother tightly.
"Should we go to the carriage then?" Katherine said. Their mothers smile broadened then.
"Actually, we're breaking tradition tonight, dinner will be held here. The food is all prepared and all we have to do is await the Salvatore's arrival.
"Ooh, sounds fun" Katherine said, clapping her hands excitedly. Elena smiled and nodded. It wasn't much of a change, but then again, in a small town like Mystic Falls, there wasn't much room for change.
"Sounds great mother, when will they arrive?" Elena asked.
"They're already here. Well, except for Stefan, who has fallen ill" Elena and Katherine's mother filled in.
"Oh how dreadful, i do hope Stefan feels better soon" Katherine said.
"Hmm" was all Elena said. Tonight was going to different from usual, thank god.
"Katherine, why don't you go find Damon, i'm sure he's talking with your father and Giuseppe"their mother said, "Elena, why don't you read or something while we wait for dinner, okay?"
Elena nodded and walked off towards the library. Katherine followed and flopped down next to Elena in one of the squishy couches in the library.
"Sick, huh?" Katherine said. Elena smiled and rolled her eyes.
"He might be"Elena said, selecting a book from the stack on the coffee table.
"Yes, Elena, he might be sick. Just as he wants to start skipping these traditional dinners to spend time with Miss Branson" Katherine said, and then added in a mutter "When pigs fly."
"Well, he and Damon are fairly close, why don't you ask?" Elena said. She wasn't very close with the eldest Salvatore. They had barely said four words to each other over their ten years of knowing each other.
Katherine let out a short laugh. "Dearest sister, i think you are over exaggerating to what extents Damon and I take our relationship, it's strictly physical."
"Katherine!" Elena exclaimed. Katherine rolled her eyes and brushed off Elena's shock.
"Don't worry, we haven't had sex Elena, i'm not stupid. But there are other ways to please a man and to have a man please you" Katherine said.
Elena blushed. She had barely kissed a boy. She had kissed Stefan when she was fifteen, but it was soon after that when they decided to officially just be friends.
"Why don't you ask him?" Katherine asked. Elena shook her head.
"I'm not the one who cares if he's spending time with Alexia Branson" Elena argued.
"Fine, fine. I guess you'll just be left not knowing. I always thought you hated not knowing things Elena?" Katherine said, a wicked smile on her lips, before she excited the room.
Dam her Elena thought. Elena did want to know if Stefan was avoiding her. She thought he would have told her about this sort of thing. Elena sighed, Katherine always knew what to stay to spike Elena curiosity.
And i hate it Elena thought bitterly as she walked out of the room, following after her sister.
