Damon asked me to go to the barbeque with him. I couldn't say no to those eyes.
So to tell Stefan I left a note. He was still sleeping. He looked so sweet and peaceful I didn't want to interrupt that.
Damon first said we had to stop at the grill, to pick up a peach cobbler. Why peach cobbler I don't know, but it must've been important since he insisted. We walked in together and saw Elena sitting alone with some untouched nachos, and a load of homework.
"Peach cobbler" I questioned shaking my head at him disappointingly. "How about you get the cobbler, while I go check up on good old Elena" I smirked and thrusted him into the opposite direction I was going.
He looked back at me over his shoulder. "Bitch" he mouthed angrily sticking his tongue out.
"Jackass" I mouth back and stuck my tongue out at him.
He smirked and turned around going in his direction. I easily made it to the table. "Hello Elena" I drawled out jokingly, as I went to sit across from her.
She looked at me with a look of stress. "Hey Alex" she greeted quickly, and bowed her head down to the stack of papers. "What kind of homework do you have" I asked sneaking a nacho away as I leaned over nosily.
"Just everything" she said shaking her head. "I could help" I offered. "What are you good at" she questioned jumping to the point. "Baby, I'm good at everything" I scoffed out cockily.
She grinned. "What's the best subject you know" she questioned elaborating more on her earlier question. "I would say history and English are my best, but I'm pretty good at most of them" I said shrugging nonchalantly.
"Well I just finished this report on Wuthering Heights, could you check it over for me" she asked. She handed me the paper quickly. I read over it quickly.
"This is pretty good" I commented shortly. "Really" she asked excitedly.
I peeked over at her from the paper. "No" I concluded dead serious. Her grin fell into a deep frown. "Well I don't see what's wrong with it" she huffed out in defiance. "What's wrong with it" I grounded out.
"For one Heathcliff was not sent to the Grange" she cut me off. "Yes he did, in the mov-" she trailed off quickly in embarrassment. "Let me guess you saw the movie but never read the book" I questioned knowingly.
"The original Heathcliff that is the father of Heathcliff Linton is who you're suppose to be talking about" I said obviously. "Heathcliff was taken in by Mr. Earnshaw, which ignited the friendship between Cathy Earnshaw and Heathcliff" I was ready to go into a big discussion when Damon came out of nowhere.
"Time to go" he said quickly. "But I was just getting into Wuth-" he cut me off knowingly. "I heard, that's why I decided to intervene" he smirked. God I swear he knew me well.
"Ok" I said coolly. I got up quickly. "See you at the barbeque" I said giving her my goodbye. "Wait you guys are going" she questioned unbelievably. "Yup see you later" I grinned widely, seeing her ignorant stare of our descending forms.
We drove to the Gilbert house quickly. Elena made it home before us. Hmm must've taken a shortcut or something.
We got to the door. Right when we were about to knock, Elena opened the door with a big teasing smile across her face. Damon came in easily, but I stood there awkwardly. God I was always the oddball.
I smirked at Elena, urging her to invite me in already. "Oh yeah, come in Alex" she said jokingly waving me in. "Haha, cute" I remarked sarcastically with a low fake chuckle.
I walked in easily and looked around the house. "Cool" I remarked calmly. "So where's the party" I questioned hyped up. I traveled into the kitchen, and peeked in quickly.
Mason, two humans, and Caroline. Real nice barbeque.
Damon came up behind me, scaring the shit out of me. "Wanna make our appearance now" he questioned teasingly. "Leggo" I said jokingly pointing to the kitchen.
I yanked the cobbler out of his hands and took it. We came in, and everything went quiet. "Um hi" I said awkwardly. "Who are you" the two humans questioned involuntarily.
They easily noticed their rudeness and covered their mouths in regret. "I'm Alex, and old friend of Stefan and Damon, and Caroline's distant cousin" I lied easily with a smile.
They looked back and forth between me and Caroline. "I can see it" the women with the orange-blonde hair said honestly. I nodded awkwardly. "So um mind me asking, where's the barbeque" I questioned lowly.
"Um good question" she replied looking over to the human guy. I smirked and went back to the living room.
I sat around boredly, knowing I would be the odd one. Me, Elena, and Caroline sat outside talking. Caroline kept going on about how bad it is for a human and a vampire.
I looked in her eyes, and I knew she was doing it intentionally. I got up and went over to grab a handful of chips out of the bag she was selfishly eating from. "Caroline I think you should shut up" I said swallowing the mouthful of chips as I went to sit back down.
"What I'm just telling her the truth" she protested high-pitched. "How would you know, you're only 3 days old" I said honestly. If she thought she could win an argument with me, she's wrong.
"But I went through the same thing with Matt" she tried to make an excuse. "Well like I said before, you're only 3 days old, so that's bound to happen; but for instance like me, Stefan or Damon we're older and we have more experiences, so it's highly unlikely anything would happen" I finished with a wide smirk, knowing she couldn't come up with anything.
I checked my phone, noticing Stefan hadn't called or anything. I decided to send him a message knowing he was up by now.
The whole time, I felt something was now happening with him. I got a message back now. I read it easily.
Hey, Katherine is here and I have to deal with her now. Tlk to you l8r. Love you -Stefan
I read the text over again. "Shit" I breathed out silently.
I got up and was ready to run off, but Elena stopped me. "What's wrong" she questioned, seeing the distinct worry across my features. "Stefan, I have to check on him" I breathed out worriedly. But as I ran off, I practically dragged her with me, since she didn't release her grip on me.
"Wanna come with me" I questioned sarcastically. She giggled, and got into her car. I yanked the keys out of her hand and got in the driver's side. I took off quickly.
Katherine was lying to me, and I can't believe I ever considered trusting her. That bitch, she knew everything we were doing now, and she knew this was the perfect time to steal Stefan.
I made it to the boarding house quicker than ever before. I jumped out and knew Elena was following behind me.
I got into the parlor. "Stefan" I yelled out, running towards the basement knowingly. Just when I stopped, Katherine came out. "Hello again Alexis" she said smirking knowingly.
I growled out and broke off a chair leg in stabbed it in her stomach. It was right below her heart. She gasped out and fell to the ground clutching her stomach.
"I thought I could trust you bitch, but obviously you can't try and steal something that's not yours" I growled out, seeing her pull the stake out of her stomach.
She stared at me inquisitively. She than went into the parlor where Elena was ignorantly looking around. I sped in right when Stefan came up behind me.
I turned around quickly and hugged him urgently. "Are you ok" I whispered silently in relief. "I'm fine, I'm fine" he reassured me repeatedly. We turned around and looked at Elena, she was clearly shaken up by seeing Katherine in person for the first time.
Katherine was gone for now at least.
Right after that Damon came home. Him and Elena were about to go hang out together when something fell out of his pocket. I dashed over and picked it up silently.
"Silver dagger" I questioned, successfully getting him to freeze in his place. He turned around with a paranoid look on his face. He smiled nervously. "You didn't" I questioned lowly.
Stefan and Damon got my drift easily. I looked to see Damon had a look of guilt. "You did, you dumbass" I growled out angrily slamming him into the wall.
He grimaced seeing I was clearly angry. "Get your facts straight, and don't assume werewolves are the typical stereotype, that's like saying we cringe from crucifixes and garlic" I growled out angrily.
His features softened. "I'm sorry it was stupid" he whispered, not knowing what to say. "Of course it was" I dropped him to the ground and left the room.
"You seriously, don't want to fuck with her" Stefan remarked smartly, as he left the room, following my trail. I growled and punched the wall, leaving a deep hole in it.
"Now because of his stupidity, we've probably just rekindled the old time war between vampires and werewolves" I growled out angrily.
"I know Mason, he's not bad, he's just on the wrong side because of some people, and I almost had him on our side, but now that's probably a hell no, not even when purgatory freezes over."
Stefan just stood there, knowing just to let me rant, and I would calm down on my own.
