Hey guys! here is chapter 3. More characters and background story for Kaz. Please review.
Another day, exactly at 10 a.m. Maria was opening the curtains on my room, forcing me to crawl under the covers. I groaned and wrapped myself under the black duvet forming a cocoon, I was no butterfly yet. Maria's voice finally woke me up.
"I left your clothes on that chair, and breakfast is served downstairs. Do you need anything else, M' Lady?" Her friendly tone only served to further annoy me. I didn't want to snap at her, she was a good maid. So after composing myself to deliver a civilized answer I muttered through gritted teeth. "That would be all".
Once I heard the door shut behind her I pulled the covers off and with a loud huff got out of bed. It was going to be a long day. I couldn't get any sleep after the events that took place the day before. I spent all night thinking about what happened and what I would do, surprisingly the best I got was to play it cool. Watch him from afar; make sure he doesn't get in much trouble. I also thought about all the things I had to do throughout the day. I took a relaxing shower, not very long because I had a meeting at 12 a.m. I wrapped myself around a musky green towel and grabbed my phone which was ringing.
"Hello" I said.
"Kaz, it me Ax." said a deep masculine voice from the other end of the line.
"What do I owe the pleasure?" I asked as I turned around the room looking for my clothes, I just couldn't remember were Maria told me she had left them. To be honest I was half asleep.
"Cut the crap, sis. You know I don't like your sarcasm. Where are you?" he said sounding exasperated. When he said that, I found the chair containing my clothes. I made a mental note that it was the same place she left them the day before, so it was to be expected for them to be there the next morning.
"You don't like my sarcasm when it's used against you, but when it's directed to other people you love it. And by the way, it wasn't sarcasm." I said with a smirk, the line remained silent. "To answer your question, I'm in Mystic Falls. May I ask the reason for such question? Especially after you decided to separate from the family on the 20's, leaving it very clear that you didn't want to hear from us anymore." It started out as faked intrigue but ended up as not so faked anger.
"Everybody makes mistakes, Kaz. I take it all back, and now I want our family back together." I could hear the guilt in his voice, he truly meant it. But I annoying him was my hobby so I continued.
"Oh, please. You sound like a lousy pop song, brother." I chuckled. "Besides, what does that have to do with my current location?" I said holding my between my ear and my shoulder as I putted on a pair of socks.
"I want to us to start fresh. To be like the old days, the good days. I want us to be happy again. I want my family back. And I think that it is fair if you choose the location for us to settle. I have always been fond of that place, and so are the rest." At some point during the speech I got lost remembering. But when I heard the last part I snapped back to reality.
"Wait, what?" I said; surprise evident in my voice. "'The rest'? All of you are coming here?" I couldn't believe my ears. I even dropped the other sock in shock. It couldn't be like that, my brothers were scattered around the world, making sure to never cross each other's paths. The only ones that stuck together were the twin, which wasn't a surprise; they wouldn't separate for a second.
"I talked to the others, they all agree with me. And Alexei can't wait to see you" He laughed at this. My youngest brother and I always had a very close relationship. I also had it with Ax, we used to be inseparable. And that is what made me make that decision.
"At what time does your plane arrive?" A smile was forming on my face.
"I really missed you" he chuckled.
"I missed you too" I whispered before hanging up and clenching the phone to my chest.
I got dressed into the dark red dress and leather black boots Maria left me. I applied some eyeliner and lipstick, and combed my golden brunet-ish hair. I had some pretty big eyes, but the eyeliner made them look beautiful. They were dark brown, but when hit by light they looked yellow with a dark ring around them.
I had to look presentable for the meeting I had half an hour later. I grabbed a long black coat because it was cold outside. I went out of my room and through the corridor, although it had a carper, a red one, I could hear Maria's steps. She greeted me with a nod, which I returned, and walked past me carrying some fresh towels. Apparently nodding was her thing, it didn't bother me. I noticed she had a lovely braiding on her hair. It started at both sides of her head and circled the bun she always wore. She didn't have long hair like I did; hers went a little below the shoulders, maybe 5 inches or so. Well that's what I presumed; I never saw her wear her hair loose.
I got to the door and I putted my coat on. A young man opened the front door for me and I hopped on 'the little strawberry', that's how I called the red car I used the day before to go to town. I thought it was cute.
I putted on some music and enjoyed the quick ride. I knew my way now so it didn't took as long. I encountered the 'Welcome to Mystic Falls' sign and all the building I saw the day before. As I passed by the Grill I remembered Matt and how he seemed like a nice guy, not my type but looked like a good friend. And I remembered the encounter I had. I told myself that maybe it was the alcohol or that the guy looked like him, but I know what I saw. I have myself a pep talk and said I shouldn't be worrying about that.
I stopped the car outside the mansion. It was nice; it was red and had big white columns. It also had a fountain with what I thought were stone birds in the middle, but it was hard to tell. An electronic voice stopped me from making further observations.
"Hello, this is Kaz Vanderlay and I have a meeting with Mrs. Lockwood" I said facing the little metallic thingy that produced the sound.
The gates opened and I entered. Through the mirror I could see them close behind me.
Next chapter we'll have some Original interaction ;) I'll update soon. Please Review
