The Mystery Guest

Stephan walked down the hallway to his room at a very fast pace, wondering who this mystery guest would be. The dinner tonight had to be a big deal so he was planning on dressing his finest and being on his utmost best behaviour, but then again when wasn't he. He walked into his room tossing his mythology book on his desk, why couldn't he understand this one subject, he excelled in everything else so why couldn't he understand this one subject, he thought.

After a few hours and a failed attempt of understanding mythology Stephen quickly threw on an appropriate dinner outfit, forget dressing his finest the only thing he cared about now was mythology. He made his way to the dining hall and gave a slight knock.

"Come in" Giuseppe instructed. Stephen entered and saw two figures at the end of the hall. "Ah Stephen you're early" said Giuseppe. Of course he was, Stephen never saw any benefit in upsetting his father by arriving late like Damon, he'd rather avoid a fight and get whatever his father wanted over with. That was the difference between him and his brother, he'd rather move on than dwell and anger himself further.

Stephen was about to greet his mystery guest when she turned around but suddenly he could not feel his legs and his words were caught in his throat and wouldn't come out.

She was beautiful more beautiful than anything he had ever seen. She had the most beautiful wavy brown hair and the softest pink lips he had ever seen, she was gorgeous. But the best part about her was her exquisite hazel eyes. He got lost for words when he looked at them.

"Hi I'm Katherine Pierce" she said holding out her hand.

Stephen Salvatore was now glad that he had come earlier than his brother.

Damon Salvatore rushed to the dining hall as fast as he could, he was late... again but he did have a good reason, the pretty little Caroline Forbes had just been dumped by her boyfriend... what was it...Mutt? He thought. She was very upset and really needed some " comforting"...

He rushed into the dining hall barging in without hesitation and stopped in his tracks when he saw the beautiful creature before him, ok forget Caroline Forbes and hello...

"Katherine Pierce "she said almost as if she read his mind , she extended her elegant hand out and he bent down to kiss it "Damon Salvatore" he said seductively.

He felt a glare on his back and turned to see Saint Stephen,"oh, Hello brother" he said not caring at all. " well, I'm starving" said Giuseppe cheerfully, "shall we eat?"

They all sat down at the huge dinning table and was being served a delicious meal.

" So, Katherine Pierce you seem like a bad girl why don't we commit the perfect crime you steal my heart and I'll steal yours", Damon said and winked at her. Stephen heard every word and choked a little.

"Katherine" Stephan started trying to get her attention of off Damon and a little on him. "Where are you from" he continued she was just about to answer his question when Damon interrupted

"What is a nice girl like you doing in a dirty mind like mine" Damon said wiggling his brows.

"Damon!", Giuseppe shouted, but was soon interrupted by Katherine.

"Oh Damon you flatter me but i think Stephen has already asked me a question, yes Stephen dear as i was saying i am originally from Bulgaria..." said Katherine.

Wow smart and feisty Damon's certainly going to like this "catch of the day".

Katherine did spend most of the night talking with Stephen but would occasionally throw flirty smirks in Damon direction and just when he would start to respond she would go back to flirting with Stephen.

The Dinner went on for hours but felt way to short for Damon and Stephen who were both lost in Katherine's eyes.

"Well I really must be going", she said after a long talk about politics with Giuseppe, " It has been lovely dining with you and I shall see you both soon", she said looking at Damon and Stephen.

"Yes I shall have one of the staff escort you out" said Giuseppe.

Stephen walked to Katherine and took her hand into his and said, " I shall be waiting for the hours to pass until I can see you again my fair maiden", he hoped he sounded charming or romantic, he never really was that good with women like his brother.

"Later babe!" Damon shouted, trying not to laugh at his brother's lame attempt to sound seductive and charming. He could feel his father's glare on the back of his neck.

Katherine threw a smirk at Damon and walked out of the huge dining room.

"Boys!" Giuseppe shouted once Katherine was out and the doors had shut, "We need to talk!".

"Actually, I have a life to get back to so I think I will skip this one", Damon said arrogantly, he was already coming up with a plan to get Katherine in his mind.

"Damon, please , this is important", Giuseppe pleaded.

Damon stopped in his tracks, "well since you said please", wow, please? This had to be important.

"So what did you think of Lady Katherine?" he asked.

"Beautiful", said Stephen.

"Hot!" said Damon.

"Well I'm glad you think so ", Giuseppe said looking straight at Stephen, " You see we are going through some financial trouble in this town and as you know us, the council cannot make this town strong and take care of it without money, we need to get a stable source of finances and the only way to do this is through a connection, a bond that cannot be broken ...the merging of two strong-".

"You want one of us to marry Katherine Pierce?", shouted Stephen realising what his father was trying to say, he was shocked , confused but felt a small tinge of excitement shoot through his body.

"Yes, one of you...", said Giuseppe carefully looking at Damon.

"But father, we barely know her", said Stephen.

"Yes, that is why I have invited Katherine to stay with us for a while from tomorrow night".

'Perfect', thought Damon, he hoped she would be staying in the room next to his.

"But father, how will it be decided who marries Lady Katherine ?", Stephen asked.

" That is the real reason for her stay, to get to know you both and decide who would be better suited for her."

What?,Damon thought, who would be better suited for her?, she should be concerned about if she would suit him. Obviously she would choose him.

"So do you both accept this situation?", Giuseppe asked.

" If it helps Mystic Falls then I will do whatever it takes", said Stephen chivalrously.

"What about you Damon?" Giuseppe asked looking at an unusually quiet Damon.

Damon then turned to look at his brother, "Consider this your wedding invite Stephen", he smirked.
