Mystic Falls.
What happened to this boring place? The town was covered with trees and grass, the last time I stood here and now... this town is transformed. Everything has changed. Streets, buildings, church, school, people and supernatural creatures. This place has quite a lot of interesting history I've heard.
But why Mystic Falls, Katherine? It's the first place for a vampire to go if he wants troubles with witches, vampires or wants to get exposed. This is the first town you go, if you want to get killed. It literally attracts the monsters. Besides, this place is filled with vervain. I can smell it in the air. Why Mystic Falls?
She is all about metropolis cities, parties, beaches, cultures.. just like me. Why on earth would she choose a small town like this. I'm sure she's not here for a visit, cherishing the memories. I really doubt that the legendary Salvatore brothers exactly organized a »welcome« party for her, also. I'm surprised she's even alive. But well.. this won't last long.
I swear, I will break her little neck in the moment I get her and then.. I will rip her heart out and erased her from this world forever. She will pay for everything she has done to me. But the questions still remain. I know her.
Katherine's hiding something, I'm sure of that. She's up to something, like always. She didn't appear in 100 years, why would she suddenly appear here now? I have a feeling there's a lot of things I need to know about. What the hell happened when I wasn't around or asking my sources about this place?
Game on, Katherine! The game is about to start. All I have to do is to find you first.
Where should I start?
I entered the bar, few heads turning in my is it? This is the Mystic Grill? The entertainment center of this small town? Wow, people must be dying of boredom here.
Pool, wooden decorations, no daylight, alcohol... What is this? Grandpa's basement? I sighed desperately, can't believing that I came all over here to this boring town just to kill that skinny bitch. I walked past some drunk costumers, few student and other people. I immediately got the impression, that everyone here know's each other. I didn't know this town was that small either! I immediately got a lot of attention, people not being used to me and not knowing me as I looked like Latino women, dressed in beach dress, printed with flowers, looking like I just came somewhere from South America, kicking coconuts of the tree. This worked in Brazil, but definitely wasn't all that appropriate for this Mystic bar.
I really didn't know where to put myself, but the Grill felt like a solid place to start. Maybe I'll even compel myself some handsome food, or... I will just have to satisfy with a strong drink to tackle the blood thirst problem. I looked around the bar and slowly walked towards the bar counter, swaying my hips lightly.
I climbed on a tall chair and sat down, waiting behind the empty bar counter. I tried to look as casual as I could, feeling annoying looks on me, so I looked behind the bar, acting, looking like I'm wondering where the bar tender is. I faked a a deep sigh, shrugged and took my phone out of the pocket, fake texting. I guess, I did it as people slowly turned their head away and stopped starring.
I drummed my nails on the wooden bar and the bar tender finally appeared. And he was one damn handsome bar tender! He took a cloth and wiped over the bar counter, apparently not noticing me. His strong arms were cleaning before me as I intentionally moved my elbows on the bar, leaning on the bar. He bumped in my elbows the second after and I almost spilled the other man's drink.
»Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't see you there.« He said, sighing in apology as his sky blue eyes looked at mine. He frowned a little.
»Hey...,« he pointed a finger at me curiously »you new here?« He asked, sending me a nice smile, then turning away from me taking two glasses from the shelf.
I rolled my eyes softly, before sending him a smile back. »Is it really that obvious?!«
He frowned again, shrugging and chuckling, giving me the look that said, veeery obvious, while still cleaning with one hand. I send him a short giggle, checking him out for a second. »Are you a football player?« I asked, noticing his muscular body, trying to be nice to him.
He looked at me sideways, giving me a curious smile. »Umm, yeah I am actually.« he answered. Bingo! »But, how did you know?«
I shrugged mysteriously and gave him a crooked smile. »I didn't. You're all muscular and toned, tall, hunk, charming... I just assumed you're into some sports.« I answered seductively, giving him a wink.
»Or... you were just looking for an opportunity to give me a compliment.« He smiled and rolled his eyes, still doing hundreds of other tasks.
I giggled innocently. »Mmm, handsome and SMART«
He just sighed, smirking, not answering to that. I didn't wanted this to become awkward. »Soo, whats's your name?« I asked playfully.
He looked at me and stared for a second, then smirked souspiciously, but answered. »My name is Matt and... » he didn't finish and suddenly went numb.
He kind of choked there, before raising his hand surprised, pointing his finger into someone behind me. »I'm sorry, but look, I'm kind of not on the market right now soo...« he said, not looking at me and his mood changed from happy to angry in a second.
I looked past my shoulder wondering what got him so upset, noticing the pretty blonde girl walking towards us, with somehow sad expression looking at him. I didn't know what was happening between them, but something else was dead clear. It took me a second to figure it out, I rolled my eyes... Of course! This girl is a vampire.
I'm screwed now. I'm old enough to tell that she isn't a vampire for a long time, but It's only a matter of time when she'll find out about me being a vampire. She send me an angry look, probably hearing me flirting with him from the other side of the room. I sighed as she slowly focused on him and got all that.. soft expression.
»Matt.« she said quietly. He rolled his eyes, not wanting to listen to her and turned away. »Caroline, stop. I don't wanna talk with you, right now!« he muttered, tired. »But, Matt. I'm really sorry, I should of told you before, but I was scared of.. what you might think and...« her voice started to break. »Care, please. We will talk about this later, I'm working, I don't have time for this... I told you already.«.
»You've heard him.« I suddenly said, I couldn't help myself. She looked at me with her furious expression, while Matt just shook his head and left. »Matt!« She squealed desperately.
She almost broke in tears, looking in his back, before she slowly turned her head in my direction. Here we go. »You! That's n...« She probably wanted to scream on me or something for flirting with him at first, but after a second of looking at me.. she finally started to realize and her mouth fell open. That was fast! I thought she'll need more time than that. She just stared at me for a minute, studying my face and her face suddenly went... blank. Her body froze. She knew.
And, she tried to hide it. But, she was hiding it very bad. She can't fool me. I'm 1000 years old, honey. She turned away, cleared her throat and looked at Matt leaving as she slowly sit down, looking slightly pooped. He rolled his eyes on her move, not happy with her being here. He returned and decided to ignore her, so he turned back to me and forced a fake smile.
»What can I get you?« he nodded in my direction. I was quiet for a second, being aware of this awkward situation, but answered. »The strongest that you have.« I said seductively, smiling to him. Caroline send me another angry look as I just smirked to her expression.
»Um, Matt..« she called him quietly and on my surprise, he turned around to face her, probably hearing something in her voice. »Can you get me something strong too. You know, something that will really BURNED my throat out.« she said and glanced to my direction. Matt froze and looked at me, then her, then me... He muttered something and disappeared in a second.
Can they be any worse at pretending?! I knew exactly what comes next. So, he knew about vampires? Of course, he did.
We sat alone, behind the bar in complete silence, till he returned with two glasses of whiskey. Come on, this is just ridiculous! He pushed the drink in front of Caroline's nose sending her a despising look and shook his head. He now pushed a drink in front of me, before turning away, probably expecting I will start to choke with vervain in my whiskey.
I looked both of them and smiled sarcastically. What do these dumb asses think it's gonna happen to me? I grabbed my glass casually and moved it closer to my face. I could already smell the big amount of herb that should burn my throat in a second. I noticed Caroline's intense look staring at my glass as I felt the same tension in the air. Even Matt turned around, to have a peek, probably not being too excited about causing the scene of screaming that is expected to come next. Too bad that nothing's gonna happen, kids! I moved the glass towards my lips and...
Drank the whiskey out of the glass in just one, big, quick sip without a problem... !
I swallowed the alcohol, slightly burning sensation in my throat, but not because of vervain. This whiskey was strong! I stand up and frowned at them. I almost giggled at their shocked expression.
I suddenly rudely threw the glass past my shoulder and the glass loudly broke into pieces.
The people in the bar flinched at the sound and looked at our direction. I ignored them and moved towards Caroline so close, my nose almost touched hers.
»Nice move, barbie. This could really work.« I gave her a cocky smile »Too bad I'm completely immune to vervain.« I smirked, half whispering to her loudly so Matt could hear me too.
I'm putting vervain in my drink for over 800 years.
I moved away from Caroline, after a minute of looking at her dangerously and turned to the people, starring.
»Ooops, my bad! God, I'm so clumsy. Everything's alright!« I said with a fake shy smile and they slowly started to get back to where they were.
I smirked and turned on my heels, facing them again. I knelt down and grabbed the sharp, piece of broken glass laying on the floor, still drops of vervain on it. I grabbed it and put it in my fist. I stand up, looking at Caroline. You will give me your hand! I said in my mind and compelled her just with my offered me a hand, scared expression on her face. I opened my hand, still glass in it and stabbed the sharp glass with vervain deep into her hand, while I shook her hand casually. Her face frowned, tears of pain in her eyes, almost screaming, but she was able to control herself.
I finally let go after a few seconds and she was relieved. I looked at her gasping expression for a second, till I turned to Matt completely shocked. »See you around, Matt.« I smiled and winked at him seductively as I headed towards the door and left the bar.
Uuff, my first chapter! So, I know this was a bit boring and short, because I didn't know how to start, but it will get better. Should I continue? Hope you liked it. :))))
