When I landed, I took hold of my human shape, smirking to myself. A felt a presence behind me as I shut my door.
"Are you going to speak or are you going to just stay there the entire time?" I spoke.
I turned and faced Jasper, my hands on my hips.
"You smell like blood," Jasper said. "I smelt it as soon as you got here."
I smirked, "Oops."
I past him, barely brushing against him, and headed to the appartment out back. "Elizabeth!"
I heard footsteps and a small blonde woman was in front of me, nearly thirty in age, and a recluse. I smiled as she said, "Yes, Miss Katherine?"
"Come here," I said, sauntering forward. She hesitated, but approached me and I grabbed her shoulder, latching onto her neck. She didn't struggle, or fight. Her blood was sweet, oatmeal-ish, and with the hint of strawberries. When I finished with her, full for another day, I let her go and met her eyes, "If anyone asks, you slipped and fell on a glass dish."
She nodded, "I fell on a dish."
"Good, girl," I smiled, patting the top of her head. "You'll get a Christmas bonus."
"Thank you, Miss Katherine."
I smirked, turned, and saw all of the Cullen's present. "Elizabeth, go cover your wound. These other vampires don't do well with blood."
"Will they be feeding off of me as well, Miss?" Elizabeth asked, her blonde hair getting in her eyes.
"No, and if they do you scream for me," I told Elizabeth seriously. "Go cover your wound."
I left in a flash and was in my bathroom, laying in a hot bath. The blood on my hands from John's fingers was gone in the water, a pinkish hue now taking over the clear. Elizabeth's blood mixed with John's as it fell to the water. I sighed and laid back, relaxing.
"What are you doing? Did you just kill that poor girl?" A voice inquired from the doorway. I looked up and saw Alice.
"Nope. I just ate."
"Will she die?"
"Of old age, or I may grow tired of having her around," I answered.
"You're a monster."
"I know," I smirked. "Did Mason arrive for you?"
"We haven't spoken," Alice said evenly.
I shook my head, "He's a nice kid. A werewolf, but a nice kid."
"You said you saved him?"
"He's a surfer. He loves the waves and he lives down in South Carolina. I was in the area before I moved to Forks. He was drowning after he got caught in the docks. I saved him."
"How old was he then?"
I shrugged, "Twenty six, maybe?"
She frowned at me, "I really don't like the new you."
"That was what I was hoping for, Mary," I winked. I relaxed back into the tub, "Leave me alone. I'm trying to sleep."
"No."
"Excuse me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow and looking up.
She pulled a stake from the inside of her jacket, "I saw what you did to that man."
"He killed seventeen vampires I created," I shrugged, eying the stake. "He deserved it."
"How did he know you?"
"I don't delve into my private life, Alice. You create too many friends that way."
"So you killed a friend?"
"I didn't kill him, unfortunately," I smirked, relaxing as I realized she wouldn't kill me. "I just seriously injured. Dear Elena ruined that for me when she showed up."
"And Elena looks like you?"
"Smells like me too," I laughed. "Now, seriously, leave."
I layed back once more and closed my eyes, but I could sense where she was.
"Will you leave my family alone once we leave town?"
"But don't you see?" I stressed. "You already know who Edward's real mate is. You know who your real mate is. I called him here for you. And only you know who your real mates are, don't you? But you don't tell them. Why?"
She was silent a moment and I made sure to keep in sense with her actions. She just stood there, and I could feel her glaring at me.
"Oh, that's none of my business, right? I'm sorry if I have the Cullen families happiness in mind."
"I'll kill you," she vowed. "You will not-"
"We'll see, Alice, we'll see."
She fumed and stomped out. I just laughed and relaxed more into my tub, letting the lavender soap soak into my skin. I need to smell exactly like Elena, not just a hint off. Exactly. So I'm bathing in lavender with a hint of rose.
I flew out of the door a few minutes later with the clothes I had on early back. I left a note on my desk for anyone that wanted to find me, telling them I had gone out.
Minutes later I was at the Gilbert house and used the key under the eave to unlock the door. Immediately, steps were coming down the door and I saw Stefan.
"Hey," Stefan greeted, sighing. I turned to look at him as I walked into the living room. "How's Caroline?"
I shook my head, "Not good." I hugged him to me, resting my head on his shoulder. I smirked, looking at the door, "Just what I needed."
I pulled back, looking up at him and was ready to kiss him when he grabbed my neck and angled me to the ground, his eyes black and his fangs out. Guess he found me out. He tossed me to the couch and I flipped over so that I landed on my feet.
"Katherine."
I ticked my shoulder, a deadly look in my eyes, "At least I fooled one of you." Maybe the bath was too strong. I was shoved against the shutters, and his hand went around my throat. "Feel better?" All this anger can't be good built up inside someone. He growled and shoved me against the wall on the opposite side of the room.
A jingle of keys at the front door distracted Stefan and I grabbed his arm, breaking it, and forcing him to the ground, where he growled in frustration and pain. I smirked and disappeared out the back door. Just as I reached a safe distance away, I heard Damon and Elena enter.
I smirked at the house before running home. Tomorrow was the funeral for Mayor Lockwood and I'd be attending as Elena, plus one.
I could hear Mason packing up his bags and fall asleep in his truck. He'd be moving into the Lockwood Mansion tomorrow. And I'd be invited inside, if my plan went as I wanted. Stefan Salvatore just started a war.
