Hey so yay another chapter! Hope you enjoy
The next morning
Katherine (P.o.v)
I groaned as I woke up, rubbing at my eyes as I realized what today was. Today was the day I had been waiting for all week. So It was the first day of school. Honestly I wasn't really looking forward to this day. But Stefan will be their so it will be interesting atleast. The school reminded me of every teen movie Lydia and I would watch at sleepovers. There were way too many groups, too much drama,well I'll admit I liked the drama and too much gossip, talk and rumors to keep up with. If you didn't have a label, you were basically ignored every day. I was the queen bee of the school. I mean who else would be? I got dressed rather quickly then finished my breakfast of french omelets in almost record time. My mom was already at work for the day. My dad was off god knows where. Scotty and Issac were waiting with Stiles in his jeep.
"Hey, boys." I greeted as I climb into the back seat next to Issac giving him a small knowing grin, which he return with a confused expression. I frown.
Scott turned to me and spoke. "You going to be okay today?" with concern riddled in his voice.
"Yes, Scott. I'll be fine." I answer with a huff as Stiles starts to drive.
"KitKat?" Stiles questioned. KitKat seriously? Great nickname.
"Huh, what?" I said bring my attention to the hyper active teenager.
"I've always had a theory." He tells me, tapping on the steering wheel. .
"What theory?" I ask with fake interest.
"That-" He looks toward Scott, who was sending him a warning look. "You know what? it doesn't matter." As we pulled up to the school.
"Whatever." I say as I climb out of the car and spot Lydia almost immediately.
"Kitty Kat." I hear her yell as I walk over towards her. A smile came upon her face as I bring her into a tight hug. I grin as I say.
"Lyds." She pulls back, still smiling.
"Guess who's here?" She asked.
"Who?" I arch an eyebrow as I ask.
"Just a certain guy that has his eye on you?" She teases.
"Who? Stefan?" I ask faking surprise, she nods. "You really think he likes me?" I ask faking being nervous and excited.
"Of course I mean just look at him, he's staring at you." She tells me as she lightly puts her had on my face turning it to look over near the bus stop where Stefan was there and sure as hell staring.
"Why wouldn't he, you're a strong beautiful woman." I give Stefan a small smile. "But we have to get your classes sorted out right now." I try to protest but she's dragging me to the front office before I can.
Stefan (P.o.v)
After I walk up to the main office and collect my timetable. I may or may not of compelled the woman to ensure I have all classes with Katherine, But she needs my help, it's dangerous here for her with werewolves walking around. As I sit down next to Katherine in home room. She looks so innocent I just hope I can save her from being turned into any supernatural creature. I sigh as the bell rings sending us to science.
Lunch
Katherine (P.o.v)
Honestly when Stefan walked into homeroom I wasn't surprised and he's probably compelled the office lady to have some if not all classes together. Such a Stefan thing to do. Kinda stalker-ish as well. I walk outside without getting lunch only for my attention to be quickly captured as I see Stefan starting to approaching me.
"Hey, Katherine." He greets me
"Hey, Stefan." I smile, tucking a piece on my wavy hair behind my ear. God, It is easy acting like Elena.
"So Katherine, I was wandering if we could go get lunch? I mean I'm not from around here but I saw this place in the mall yesterday and thought why not?"
"Now?" I arched an eyebrow.
"Yes, now." He smiles and tilts his head. I debate for a second realizing if I wanna become a vampire again I'm going to need to get much, much closer. I let myself smile.
"Sounds fun."
We are sitting at a place called "Simple Things." It's nice a little over the top but I like it.
"So tell me the mystery that is Miss McCall."
"Well, what do you want to hear?" I leer.
"Everything that made you who you are." He tilts his head observing me.
"There isn't much to tell." I lie and he seems to catch it. He just raises his eyebrows with a playful smirk dancing on his lips.
"Okay, you want to know? I was a normal kid with a normal brother and a normal friend. I was hit by a car when I was eleven while walking home with my best friend, Lydia. Which sent me into a coma for 6 years which I only awoke from last week." I rush out with a bitter tone and take a huge breath in at the end. He leans forward, arms resting on the table and brow furrowed.
"Are you okay? I mean should you even be going to school yet." He asked looking at me like I'm made of glass.
"You know what!? I'm a survivor and it's gonna take bloody lot more then that to keep me down." I snap not feeling quite comfortable with this line of questioning. A smile etches itself across his face as he leans back.
"You, Miss McCall are unlike anyone I have ever met." He observes. My smile falters for just a second before snapping back into place.
"I hope that's a good thing."
"I think it is." He nods.
"So what about you, a told you mine you tell me yours." I demand.
"Okay, I lived in the small town of Mystic falls, I was born there, I fall in love only for my brother to get the girl and I lost so much of myself before I realized I just needed to get back to my past." He answers slowly as if lost in thought. Interesting.
"Can we eat now? I'm hungry." I state, snatching the menu of the table and giving it my full attention. He smile then agrees.
We barely made it back to school in time for last period.
"Where the hell were you?" Lydia hisses with no real heat behind it, as I sit down next to her.
"I was with Stefan." I defend myself because damn even when she's not trying she's a bit threatening. Her face breaks out into a grin.
"A date?" She pries, leaning towards me.
"No, well maybe. I don't know." I stumble out as I see Stefan walk into the class. Lydia smirks.
"Oh and before I forget Allison's taking you to meet Derek after school but she can't stay so she's only dropping you off. But she's picking you up then your staying at hers tonight."
"What wait? I have to meet this guy by myself?" I spit out.
"You had your chance yesterday." She waves me off.
"Allison? I don't think I've meet her yet." I state curiously. Because I do wonder about the girl who stole my brother/not brothers heart. I have seen her and heard her talk but not in person. Since I've been awake that is.
"No you haven't, but don't worry she's nice and she really wants to meet you. I gave her your number so she'll text you when."
"Thanks." I sigh. Lydia smile just looks triumphant.
"Oh, Hey Katherine's lover-boy." Lydia speaks as she looks over my shoulder. I turn to see Stefan sitting next to me.
"Uhh, Lydia doesn't mean that." I quickly tell Stefan, slightly flustered.
"Lydia knows what Lydia means." The strawberry blond says flipping her hair over her shoulder as she turns to face the front of the class.
"It's fine, really." He speaks looking at me. "So, Katherine, can I have your number?" He looks at me with puppy dog eyes. That's not far. I contemplate giving him a fake but end up giving him my real one.
I head out of the school shortly after final bell rang to hear my phone chime.
From Allison: Hey it's Allison, Lydia gave me your number. Katherine right?
To Allison: Yeah it is
From Allison: I'm parked 3rd row back like 2 spots from right. I'm taking, then picking you up from Derek's, then you're staying over tonight.
I walk over to the parking lot and make it about three rows back. Looking for her car until I realize.
To Allison: I'm like here can you like wave or honk so I know who you are?
From Allison: Oh right. Yeah sorry.
I get the text and right before a here the car honk. I snap my attention that way to see a brunette girl sitting in a car waving with a smile upon her face. But I notice her smile doesn't quite reach her eyes. So this is Allison in the flesh. I jog up to the car and climb into the passenger side.
"Hey."
"Hey, you're Scott sister"
"I suppose." I reply putting on my seat-belt. She laughs as she pulls out but it sounds to forced.
"So who's this Derek guy Lydia wants me to meet." I inquire looking over to here not really caring about whatever bothering her.
"He's a friend, I don't exactly know why she wants you to meet him." She looks puzzled as she reply's. She pauses for a second before she asks. "Do you mind if I ask you a serious question?"
"Fire away."
"What did you dream about? While you were in a coma that is." She struggles to say.
"Most of the time I didn't I was just there." She seems to accept the answer but looks a little uneasy. I look at her. I don't know what to think of her but I can tell I shouldn't trust her.
"Why do you ask?" I tilt my head at her and narrowing my eyes in suspicion.
"We're here, we'll talk about it tonight okay?" She speaks as we pull up into a huge apartments building. I have a feeling we won't be talking about it tonight.
"Okay." Weird. I climb out of the car and I enter the building, It's kinda creepy. Kinda the place where you'd massacre 50 people and nobody would find them for a week or more. I shrug as I walk into the elevator careful taking in all of my surroundings. I feel kinda unnerved as the elevator starts moving a could be attacked when those doors open the little voice in the back of my head speaks.
"Derek?" I call as the elevator door opens as see a girl around 17 turn from the wall where a button is just to freeze as I step into the loft. The girl steps closer cautiously.
"Cora!?" I whispered shocked. She's supposed to be dead. She died in the fire. Her face just lights up.
"Katherine." She says barely above a whisper. I run up and hug her the sound of my heels echoing across floor as I do so.
"Oh my god! Cora!" I speak as I hold her close. You see growing up this time me Lydia and Cora were a trio, the best of friends. God, the pain Lydia must of felt when she lost both of us in a year must of been earth shattering. Oh well.
"I thought you dead!" Cora accuses as I pull back. Her arms still on my side and mine now on her upper arms.
"I could say the same to you." I retort. She just shakes her head.
"Well it doesn't matter now." She laughs. "What are you doing here anyway."
"Lydia wants me to meet this guy named Derek." I shrug and pause as I put the pieces together. "And you're here and you have a brother named Derek. So he's a hale which makes him Peters nephew." I speak out slowly, mentally kicking myself for not putting together the pieces sooner. Oh my god. I told Peter everything and he told me everything. They're FUCKING Werewolves!
"You know Peter?" She question with an arched eyebrow.
"I was in a coma for six years, five of which your uncle was to." I shrug.
"Wait, you were in a coma?!" She gasp, eye wide with concern.
"Yep." I reply with a tight lipped smile.
"And you could...talk... with my Uncle?"
"I never said that." I answer not wanting to reveal to much. She shakes it off and looks serious for a minute.
"Do you remember?"
"What, You're a werewolf." I quickly answer without mean to. Oh fuck me. Did I really say that out loud! For fucks sake I'm not as good as I was playing these games. She freezes and looks like a deer in headlights. "It's okay Cora. I don't mind...much." I quickly console.
"You knew, growing up you knew and you stayed." She spoke like she couldn't believe it.
"Yes I stayed." I answer playing with word, seemingly telling the truth. She just brings me into a tighter hug. Fuck. This might get in the way of becoming a Vampire.
"Cora?" A deep voice interrupts. We pull apart and a see a tall, dark haired man. This must be Derek. "Huh, Katherine. Lydia said to expect you here."
"You knew Katherine was alive." Cora hisses at her brother. Derek raises his hands in surrender as she advances.
"I'm sorry. I swear I forgot." He defends.
"Yeah, yeah." She snarls at him.
"So why'd Lydia want me to meet you." I ask moving my weight from one foot to the other.
"I actually was the one that wanted to meet you." He informs walking towards me. I smirk
"It can't simply be because I'm a gorgeous piece of eye candy, so why did you want to meet me." I reply smugly. He doesn't look impressed.
"Cora, can you please leave?" He ask but its more a statement than a question.
"What, why, w-"
"Cora." He warns.
"Fine, I'll see you later Katherine." She turn and leaves. As soon as she's out of hearing distance he turns back to me.
"Please sit." He motions to a dining table but theirs not much else in here, I see a bed across the room. Well someone likes a show.
"We'll my feet are hurting." I reply as I sit down, legs crossed. He sits down across from me. He looks kinda familiar but I did meet him a few times when I saw Cora.
"You know what I am." He states as I start scratching at my unpainted nails. Maybe Allison could do them tonight, I hope so because I don't want to look like a mess.
"Oh, yes." I speak up and continue picking at my nails. I can feel his stare, I look up, raise an eyebrow and purse my lips. "What?" I huff acting annoyed.
"Peter told me about you. After he woke up, After I killed him and he came back. I didn't realize at first that he had justifiable reasons for killing them. I didn't realize until I talked to my dead mother about what happened and how much he held back. Something happened about 17 years ago, he killed without reason and that's when he was only 13. I asked him about what made him hold back when he came back he told me and I quote "the little vampire girl who got a another chance." He looks intrigued as he speaks. I'm shocked. Peter was my rock while I was in a coma. I'm happy he atleast got revenge.
"He told me you're over 500 years old, a doppelganger and a human now." He continued. I wonder if Peters around. Every girl needs a partner in crime. I don't like this, he knows to much about me and I know only few things about him. I really hate being in these situations where I don't have leverage.
"You know about doppelgangers." I state curious trying to throw him off topic, usually wolves don't know about our shared supernatural history.
"That is not what I want to talk about, Miss Pierce." He stands his ground. I let out a small huff of amusement.
"So you know my name." I laugh. "What do you wish to talk about, Sir Hale?" I leer.
"I just want you to know that I know who you are and I won't tell anyone. I swear to that. But I want to know that you'll help if I ask." I contemplate his request. The puppy obviously has something in mind but I guess this is his mistake.
"Deal."
Hey so thanks for reading. I really hope im capturing Katherine character right in this situation. Like she has a little more humanity here because she grow up human again with out something turning her dark instead this time she choose to when she was given a chance at a normal life. because well she doesn't want a normal life.
So thanks for reading. Please review i love them and super big thanks if you have XD
