I woke in my new room. I officially have a room now. I then went to the bathroom. To avoid any awkward run-ins, I brought the clothes I was gonna wear with me. After I was done showering, I dressed myself in a black tank top and black leather miniskirt with a black belt that was bordering on cummerbund size. When I got to my room, I added a low-hanging necklace and began work on my makeup.
After I was done, I decided to see what Elena was doing.
"Hey, I was just about to head to the boarding house." She explained. "I want to see Stefan."
"I'll come with you." I offered. "I need some more blood."
"I don't know if Damon appreciates you going into his supply." Elena remarked.
"Well they have a surplus." I pointed out.
Elena began to look around the house for Stefan while I began to look around the house for blood. I didn't know what Stefan looked like. After I had blood bag in hand, I went upstairs and found Elena with a shirtless guy.
"Stefan, this is Joey, also known as Yoana Petrova." Elena introduced. I waved before sipping from the straw-like tip of the bag.
"You're very well-acquainted with my sister." I declared.
"I didn't know that she had a sister." Stefan remarked.
"Well technically, she doesn't either." I explained. "She probably thinks that I'm dead. I can't tell her because if I did, I'd have to kill her."
"She's actually been compelled to kill Katherine as soon as she sees her." Elena remarked.
"I should probably apologize to you for attacking your girlfriend." I added. I noticed Stefan was still shirtless and began to kiss Elena. "Okay…I think that I am going to give you two some privacy right now."
I had to admit that I was kind of jealous. It had been…too long since I last had sex. I also found out the two of them were very lovey-dovey. Though, they never did have sex. I decided to reenter the room and I noticed Stefan a shirt on and Elena had some vervain.
"Do you have any for me?" I asked. Elena produced a vial and Stefan and I both drank, but Stefan had much more difficulty than I did.
"How can you stand that?" Stefan choked.
"It's called nearly three hundred years of taking it in." I explained. "I guess I've been doing for longer than you've been alive."
"I'm gonna talk to Isobel today." Stefan announced. He then looked at me. "Just out of curiosity, why are you here?"
"Elena and I are family." I explained. "I haven't had any of that for the past 518 years."
"Okay, that's a perfectly acceptable reason." Stefan stated.
We walked downstairs and happened to noticed Rose's back, which looked like it had some kind of flesh-eating bacteria on it,
"How is it?" Rose asked Damon.
"It's fine." Damon replied as he looked at it in slight discuss. Isn't it, girls?"
"Yeah…it looks great." Elena lied.
"I need to get going." I declared, avoiding the question altogether.
"I need you to play nurse." Damon said to Elena.
"Yeah, I definitely need to go." I replied. I looked at Elena. "I really want to explore the city. I didn't get to do it yesterday."
"Is she gonna die?" Elena whispered.
"Yes." I replied softly. "I've seen this before. You need to be careful. If she starts to act insane, call one of us."
I decided to go to the school. There were a lot of people there because it was some Booster Club Barbecue. I think I lucked out because I love barbecue. The first thing I did was decide that I should talk to someone. The first person I saw was a tall blonde girl.
"Hi, I don't really know my way around here." I stated.
"I imagine because I've never seen you before." She declared. "I'm Caroline."
"Joey." I responded as I noticed the ring on her finger that was like mine. "So do you know my sister too? I've heard that she goes by Katherine."
"You're her sister?" Caroline asked in fear. Everyone seems to know but me it seems.
"I don't know what she did to you and I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna hurt you." I promised. "But I would appreciate it if you showed me around."
The two of us noticed a guy in a football jersey.
"I really can't." She declared.
"Boyfriend?" I asked.
"No, just a friend." She responded before she walked over to him. I sighed before I noticed Jeremy and Jenna.
"Hey." I greeted them.
"You know I find it so weird that Elena has this other family." Jenna remarked. "Well I guess that it's not weird, but we never really considered that."
"Well it took me a while to find out about it." I admitted. This was also true. I mean I suspected the bloodline was still intact, but I didn't know for sure. "Thanks again for letting me stay with you."
"It's no problem." Jenna declared.
"So, Jeremy, do you think that you can show me around here?" I asked. I didn't want to sound flirty. I promised Elena that I wouldn't.
"I could take you to get some food." Jeremy offered. He held the door open for me as we walked inside of the school. "So do you know where Elena is right now?"
"She's on hospice duty." I explained. He looked confused. "She's babysitting Rose who was bitten by a werewolf."
"So it's true that a werewolf bite kills a vampire." Jeremy noted.
"Yes." I confirmed. "I really don't think that Elena should be alone with her."
"Then why aren't you with her?" He asked me.
"I mean we have at least a few hours before Rose starts hallucinating." I replied. "Right now, she should just be really cold and sweaty, kind of feverish. I really want to try the barbecue. You it's what I like most about living in the South. Damon will probably be back before Rose starts to go crazy."
"I hope that you're right." Jeremy stated as I looked for some wings. I always say the hotter, the better. I went and found a set with habanero wings. Yum. I grabbed myself a plate of them. I was going to need a lot of napkins. "So I take it that you're pretty fearless."
"I wouldn't call myself fearless." I declared. "I just know that I don't need to be afraid of something like chicken wings. I'm not gonna get heartburn and they're not going to burn a hole in my throat. So, do you like spicy food?"
"I'm actually kind of a wimp when it comes to hot stuff." He admitted. Aww, that's adorable.
"Right now, what she's feeling is kind of like a cold." I explained. "Later, it will be closer to meningitis, but more drawn out."
"I don't know what that is." Jeremy stated.
"You might need to be vaccinated against it." I explained. "I've studied medicine, but what you need to know it's very deadly and can kill you very quickly. Okay, that was kind of morbid. I'm gonna put some food in my food so I stop talking."
I took a seat at a table and began to eat. I would definitely need to wash my hands after this. I can be a messy eater sometimes. Fortunately, this was chicken and not a person.
"Do you want to talk about anything not related to Rose?" I questioned.
"What does Klaus look like?" He asked.
"I haven't seen him in a long time. I don't even know if the description I could give would be accurate." I explained. "Now, it's my turn to ask you a question. Hmm, what do I want to know? How about are you a virgin?"
"No." He answered.
"I don't know why I even asked that. It's totally irrelevant." I declared.
"You know you're a very interesting girl." He explained.
"Interesting is not a word that I hear used to describe me very often." I stated.
"Well I think that you're fun." He explained before I finished my last wing.
"I should probably go wash my hands." I announced as I got up to go to the bathroom. On my way there, I spotted Caroline with a different guy. She looked confused and like she didn't want to be talking to him. When she got a distraction, she rushed to the bathroom.
"Ex?" I guessed as I began to wash my hands.
"Yeah, he doesn't know that I'm a vampire and it's kind of the reason that we broke up." Caroline explained. "I attacked him."
"Just how old are you?" I asked curiously.
"17." She answered.
"Oh, so then you must be a brand new vampire." I assumed. "Don't worry. It gets easier as long as you regularly drink blood."
"I know it has been getting easier." Caroline declared. "I don't want to bite him anymore, but I don't know if I want to be with him."
"Well I'm not a fan of relationships between humans and vampires." I explained. "I mean I've dated more than my share of humans, but it usually doesn't work."
Yes I know this was an issue with Jeremy, but I probably wasn't going to date him. I don't know if I was looking to date at all to be honest. I went back into the cafeteria where Jeremy was still waiting for me. He had apparently tried something hot and it looked like it was too hot for him. I couldn't help but giggle at the adorable sight.
"I guess you really don't like it hot." I joked.
"Well my throat doesn't heal like yours." He replied.
"I seriously doubt that those could burn your throat." I countered. "I'm gonna go and see if Elena is okay. Don't hurt yourself while I'm gone."
He rolled his eyes as I went out the door. I headed back to the boarding house.
"It's all your fault Katerina." I heard Rose shout through the window. I jumped up and into the house to see Rose pinning Elena against the wall. The illusions have started it seems.
"Rose, it's Elena." I told her as I tore her off of my descendant. I knew what I needed to do hear. I reached into Rose's chest and ripped her heart out.
"You killed her." Elena declared in shock.
"Elena, there was no point in dragging this out." I declared. "She wasn't going to live and she was only going to get worse. I needed to do this before she became a danger to anyone. She couldn't be saved."
"You were just so ruthless in all of it." Elena pointed out as I dropped the bloody heart on Rose's body.
"Well I am a vampire and I was trained to kill by the most ruthless vampire of all." I explained. "There is no easy way to kill a vampire. I chose the fastest. It's painless. Sure, it's messier, but she probably preferred to go like that than to slowly succumb to the sickness of the bite or to burn up in the sun. I need to go wash my hands and then we can get to burying this body."
So let me start by saying that The Descent is probably my least favorite episode of the entire series. That said, I was able to set up Jeremy and Joey nicely as well as begin a friendship with Caroline. Please don't forget to review.
