Hello people!
Me is back again with another chapter. I want to finish these chapters quickly so we can finally meet the originals aka the best characters in the whole show. I mean have you seen Kol...
Okay, the last thing I wanted to say is that you should eat apples!
I hope you like this! Please review and follow and whatever else you can do here!
"Hey, Mason, got a second?" Tyler approached us as we were about to walk out the door. Mason told me what happened last night because I went back to the house. Apparently, Tyler saw Mason turning into a wolf. Another problem on our hands, awesome.
"Nah, man. Barbeque at Jenna Sommers house." He would have found time to talk to Tyler but I guess he was avoiding the topic of werewolves for now. And for a good reason.
"Come on man, give me 2 minutes, alright? You can't keep dodging me. I'm freaking out over here!" By Tyler's voice I could tell he was desperate. But let's not forget the saying, Curiosity killed the cat. And in this case, Tyler would probably get killed somehow if he did get tangled into the supernatural business.
"Tyler, what do you want me to say man? Yes, I turn into a wolf, no it's not going to happen to you." And this is where he slipped up.
"How do you know that?"
"Because you are not going to trigger the curse. Your dad didn't know anything about any of this and neither did I until it happened to me." Mason was lying and he knew it. In a town crawling with vampires and whatever other supernatural beings there are in here, he will most likely trigger the curse.
"How does it get triggered?" Tyler pushed even further but I knew that Mason wasn't going to say it. Not under circumstances like this.
"Ignorance is a bliss, trust me."
"You come back into town with some supernatural family secret and you expect me not to ask question?" Okay, the guy did have a point. If I was in his position, I would have already snooped everything out.
"I can't say anything more. I'm sorry, Tyler. It is just better for you to not know." Tyler seemed to ponder for a second before he spoke up once again. "You ever found that moonstone?" He had a sly expression on his face when he saw Mason's attention back on him.
"You know where it is?" Mason asked lightly but I knew that this wasn't a light topic. I didn't approve of him being with Katherine aka the vampire bi**h and I knew she was using him to get the moonstone, but he was naïve enough to believe that she actually loved him and didn't listen to me when I tried bringing it up.
"What is so special about it?"
"I told you. It was my mum's. Sentimental. Look, just don't worry about it. Forget I brought it up, right? See you later." They shared a short stare down before we slipped out the door.
"Smooth Mason, smooth." I commented on the scene that just happened and he chuckled. "Shut up, Mia."
"I mean, you handled this situation so well!" I said sarcastically before stepping into the car
"Aha! Good news! I found the shot glasses." Mason said with a victorious grin on his face.
"Finally! I need a drink." I muttered before trying to grab one of them but Mason took them away from me and walked towards Jenna and Elena. "Oh come on, don't be such a party pooper… Why do you have to take all the fun out of things?"
"Okay, it is my que to go. You coming Mia?" Elena asked and I was quite surprised that she invited me since we weren't that much of friends. I shrugged and followed her outside to the porch. She took out her phone and checked it for like a millionth time before deciding to call someone.
"Hey… I'm just checking in. Did you get the message about Jenna's barbeque? Call me when you can." She said before another girl came into the view. She was blonde, bright blue eyes. You know, the cheerleader type. I guessed it was Caroline, the newbie vampire who killed a random guy. The one Bonnie didn't want to help. But by her being outside in her sun I could tell that she did make the ring.
"I don't believe we met. I'm Mia, Mason's friend." I extended my hand and waited for her to shake it. "I'm Caroline." She gave me a bright smile and took my hand. I large shudder went down my spine and I felt the aura of death around her. So, this is the feeling you get by touching a vampire…
"So was that Stephen? Wait… Stefan?" I said confused. I kept forgetting his name. I don't know why but something in my mind didn't let me remember him. It was weird.
"Yeah. He hasn't called me back. I can't decide if I should be worried." Elena replied and I shook my head slightly. Love, such a weird thing. I didn't think I would ever feel that again. Or anything in that matter. But something has changed. Something massive.
"I'm sure he is fine. God, I cannot stop eating. Stefan says it is a great way to sublimate the cravings. Well it is horrible, just fighting the urge for blood every minute of every day." Caroline's eyes widened in horror when she remembered that I was sitting right beside her. She still didn't know I was a witch. I decided to mess with her for a little.
"What… what do you mean? Cravings for b-b-blood? What are you?" I added some stammering which I learned perfectly in my first year of Hogwarts from Mr. Quirrell. Elena gave me questioning look as if asking what-the-bloody-hell are-you-doing? I smirked as if telling my plan and she gave me a slight nod, grinning to herself as well.
"Oh no! I meant…um… food! I just can't stop my cravings for food." I started laughing at her spluttering, trying to lie her way out of it. "Your reaction! Oh, wow… it was priceless… Don't worry I know all about vampires." She stared at me for a second before going back to eating her crisps. Elena spoke up next, "I know Stefan really hates that part of him so…" And the conversation went straight back to Stefan. Are boys all girls can talk about?
"He hates that you are a constant temptation."
"He said that?" This was getting interesting.
"The desire to rip out your jugular every time he sees you? Trust me, it is there." Caroline looked straight ahead. " That is why I had to break up with Matt." What was her deal? I didn't know her but I could tell this wasn't how she acted. Something was up, and I had to find out what.
"Food is ready!" A guy that I have never seen before yelled before going back inside and me following straight behind. My stomach was grumbling from the want of food.
"How old are you Hermione?" I cringed at that name and playfully glared at Ric. "Mia. I don't like my name that much. And I'm 17. I'm going to be 18 next year."
"Shouldn't you go to school then?" He asked again and thoughts erupted in my head. School. I haven't gone to a muggle school in about 7 years and I didn't want to go again. I would be completely terrible. I didn't know any history or maths or whatever else subjects there were.
"Um… No! We are going to leave soon anyways." I wasn't sure when I was going to leave because I didn't know when Mason was going. Wherever he was going, I was going to follow.
"No we are not. I think I should roll you into the high school." Mason grinned evilly.
"I will not, I repeat, I will not go to a muggle high school." I had nothing against muggles. I was a muggle myself, but I didn't know much about everything except a few times I took muggle studies. Forget that, and I was completely clueless.
"Muggle?" Everyone asked and I realised my mistake.
"Yep. Muggle. That is what I call…teenagers!" I thought of it quickly and the they dropped it. Well they I mean Ric, Jenna, Elena and Caroline. Damien on the other hand looked at me rather suspiciously. I can't slip up like that again. Wait… it is Damon! What is it with me and messing up their names?
"Dress. Ballerina!"
"Puppy! Puppy with a tutu!"
"A dog! A hound dog!"
"Dancing with a wolf." Mason spoke up and everyone looked at him like he was crazy. "Mason wins! Again." We were playing a random game of guessing what the person drew and for the last hour, Mason won every single time.
"How is that a wolf?" Jenna protested and I laughed. Damon wasn't talented very talented in art. What he drew looked like a mutated dog with a pink skirt. I agreed with Jenna in that. The game stopped when Damon left the room to see Elena in the kitchen. He was Steph-no, Stefan's brother who was Elena's boyfriend and Damon also liked Elena. Twisted love triangle going on over there…
He came back minutes later with a pie in his hands and a silver knife to cut it up. What was he up to?
He gave the pie to Mason and looked at him expectantly. He didn't use the knife and just took a piece of it with his hands. Both Alaric and Ric looked at him suspiciously and he laughed. "What am I…I apologise. I'm an animal."
I sat awkwardly in the back of Caroline's car. There was large tension in the air and I just couldn't take it. But Elena beat me to it. "Thank you for this."
"Here we come. To the rescue." Caroline said.
"Why are you being so snobby?"
"That is my own drama. I'm sure you two will beat the odds. Not that there is any study to pull odds from. What is the ratio success for a vampire human couplings? I'm guessing no." Caroline said bitchily. What the hell was wrong with this girl? Was she always such a bitch?
"Okay, Caroline."
"Sorry." She said it like she didn't mean it all. There was a slight silence for a little while before Elena turned the radio up and said, "I love this song." I have never heard it before but it wasn't bad.
"What is playing?" Caroline asked the car and a monotone voice answered, "We Radiate by Goldfrapp." Then the car stopped in its tracks. We were in the middle of nowhere and the car broke down. Wow. How lucky are we?
Caroline called the tow to get the car but we waited there for like an hour and it was getting dark. I could've just apparated back to the house but I didn't want to leave Elena alone with Caroline. Who knows what she could've done.
"You sure the tow is coming? We have been waiting for forever." I asked again and Caroline let out an annoyed groan. "I know, it is weird. They said they'd be here by now."
"Yeah. I'm just going to call Jenna." Elena mumbled.
"Good ide—No!" Caroline interrupted me mid-sentence. "Just let me try the tow people again and I'll use my agro voice."
"We can just walk from here." I tried again but Caroline blocked our paths. "We can't just leave my car here."
"We'll come back for it."
"No. Give me a minute. "
"Caroline, what part of I'm worried about Stefan didn't sink in?" Elena asked obviously annoyed by her friend. What was her problem?
"What is the rush? Why are you hurrying to get to a relationship that will never work?" This was enough for me. I grabbed Elena's hand and apparated in front of The Boarding House. I been here once before when I was exploring the town so I knew how to get there. Elena looked around and looked like she was ready to throw up. "Are you okay? I know the first time; you might get a little sick…" I trailed off
"What was that?"
"It is called apparition. Quite a useful trick. Many witches and wizards use it to travel. I got my license 2 years ago." I explained but she still looked confused. She didn't question it further though.
We walked into the house and I knew something was not right. I just knew it. And I was right. When Elena was facing me and her back was turned to the door I saw Katherine. It was quite amazing seeing them two next to each other. They looked exactly the same.
When Elena saw, me staring she turned around and came face to face with her doppelganger. "You must be Elena. Oh, and Hermione, I had to see you again. To make sure it was actually you, and now I'm sure. It is not nice to see you again." I looked at her confused but she ignored me and turned back to Elena.
"How is this possible? How do we look exactly alike?" Katherine walked around her like predator around prey and stared her up and down as if assessing her. "You are asking the wrong questions." And then Stefan came running to save the day. By the time I looked back at where Katherine was standing, she was long gone.
