Mystic Falls
(Katerina)
I was lying on the bed, my phone in my hands, looking for a nice place to take Elijah for dinner. Elijah was combing my hair as he watched the news for Paris, the city we were in right now. Elijah was shirtless because we'd just finished having that sex we'd wanted since we got married, the one I tried to carry out when we were in the plane.
"What do you feel like eating right now?" I asked him. I was in only my panties. I'd given up trying to find the clothes we'd taken off. I was too hungry to care about getting them back. I'd just dress into my other clothes that Klaus supposedly packed for me.
"I don't really mind where we go to eat. As long as we get dressed before we go and you let me finish combing your hair." He replied.
"Well then we'll go have French food. Le Pavillon de la Grande Cascade it is." He chuckled.
"I can't wait to get there. Are they good?"
"Well the rating says so but I know it's good too." I told him. "Finish up with my hair will you?" I asked. He chuckled as he put down the brush. He pulled my hair back behind my ears and he slowly placed a kiss on my cheek.
"You're done. Get dressed and we'll go." I heard him whisper. I stood up and went to get dressed. When I came out of the bathroom, I saw him dressed up in his suit again. This was a new one though. "My brother was very smart about his packing our things." He stated. "We'll go out and then I will kindly request you change into new clothes." I nodded as I grabbed his hand and walked him into the elevator where we had a quick, passionate kiss between us before we reached the first floor.
(Klaus)
I was with Kara in Chicago. I'd sent them to Norway before I had quickly packed and left Marcel in charge of the city while I was away. He was excited to be in charge again. I had surprised Kara by carrying her bridal style into my car before bringing her packed things too.
We had a flight to Chicago and then we'd gone out to dinner as I picked out a hotel. It was a super fancy one with all the things I could get and think of. Then we'd gone to the hotel and she had decided she'd wanted sleep over sex since I tired her out. However, tonight she was adamant about us having sex. That wasn't in my plans.
"Kara, what do you want to have for lunch?" I asked her. She grinned at me.
"What is there to eat in Chicago? I thought you knew everything about it." I smirked.
"I do. Schoop's Hamburgers it is. As far from French as you can get. I'm sorry it doesn't have English food." I told her. She smiled.
"It's fine. American and English might as well be one in the same." I shook my head.
"There's a very big difference. English don't get fat." I joked. She chuckled as she started to rub my back. "Am I not supposed to do that to you?"
"It's not always the Alpha Male." She joked.
"Again with the Alpha jokes." I replied, laughing. She laughed too.
(Stefan)
"Mom, you have to tell me. Who's Julian?" I've asked her this once a day but she never replies. I don't know why but it bothers me to know that he might be out there or worse, that he was in the Ascendant.
"Stefan just stop. She's not going to say." Damon said, putting cups of blood in front of us. He sat down with his own cup. Lily stared at it. "Mom, you have to drink or you'll desiccate. Don't worry. It's Stefan's diet."
"And what do you have Damon?" She asked.
"It doesn't matter Mom. Just drink. I promise it gets better." I told her. She picked it up, hesitantly. "I'll be right here if you think you're losing control." I told her. She turned her head to look at me hopefully. I nodded my head. "Just drink. It'll be okay." She lifted it to her lips, staring at it.
"How do you know you don't like it if you don't try it?" Damon asked. Mom drank and soon she drank it all. I gave her my cup and she drank it empty. "Now you won't need to drink for a bit. Promise. Here's a cup of tea." Damon handed her a big cup of tea. She greedily drank it empty. "That's it." Damon encouraged. He handed her another and she drank it slower.
"Thank you boys." She said, giving us each a smile. Damon drank his big glass empty. He's always drinking blood. He used to poke it in my face but now that I had Klaus back as my friend and I was the Ripper again, he's stopped. Now he's begging me to learn to drink normally. Without ripping people's heads off.
