sorry its been so long.
I round the corner from where I parked, to the café that we are meeting at.
The small town isn't bustling with life, but its certainly not desolate. I walk through the propped open door to the café and order a vanilla double shot cappuccino.
As the teenager working the bar gives me my order, my phone buzzes. Not now, I think, don't you dare give me away.
I thank the girl for the cappuccino and walk over to the farthest corner of the restaurant, I look around to see if anyone is looking before pulling the phone out of my purse quickly I press ignore and delete the call from my log, before slipping it back into my purse.
I choose a booth far away from everyone else where we won't be heard.
I take one long slow sip fron my cappuccino. As soon as the hot liqid runs down my throat the figures whod been " secretly" watching me enter the café.
I know them both; Stefan Salvatore I'd met personally long long ago though he doesn't remember.
The other one, is the perky, sunny, preppy, annoyingly, positive, vampire, Caroline Forbes.
They come in laughing at something before they walk over to where im sitting
" are you Sophie?" he asks
" don't pretend like you don't already know the answer to that" I laugh.
They look stricken and nevous when I call them out for spying on me, I laugh
" Yes, I am, and you're Stefan and Caroline.
" So, youre new to Mystic Falls?" Stefan asks.
" Not really, I was there a long time ago, when I was much younger" I say.
A very long time ago.
"I only came back because I had to take care of some of the aftermath of Marcos's death"
"Oh, so your magic works inside the boarder?" Caroline peeps.
"Yeah? Matt didn't mention?" I ask my eyebrows raising in question.
"No, he didn't" Caroline says "Then again, weve all been a little distracted lately" she scoffs. I laugh humorlessly
"I can imagine"
If i actually needed sleep, I would be having it right now, I hate small talk. I'm the girl who starts the conversation with "cut to the crap", but my sunny blonde friend doesn't seem to understand that.
" I like your bracelet" she says.
I mentally slam my head into the table, it takes every inch of self control not to say thanks distastefully.
Breathe, Soph, Breath.
In, Out, In, Out.
Don't blow your cover.
I open my mouth to try and say something remotely nice, but I'm saved by my new favorite person, Matt.
" Hey" he says.
I smirk at him, looking through the corner of my eye.
"Sorry I'm late" he smiles. "Tyler and Jeremy are trying to get Elena here"
" Good luck with that" Stefan scoffs
"We've been trying to get her to do something, anything for about 4 months now" Caroline explains.
"Loss is tough" I sigh "everyones mind is like a piece of string, with every loss more weight is added onto the string making it weaker, when the loss is spread far enough apart, then you can learn to cope with it, you can wistand the weight. But when one loss after another is piled up relentlessly, eventually the string just snaps. The more you care the heavier the loss is."
That is why I prefer not to care, like... at all.
"so... why do you want to help us" Stefan asks.
"Well " I say "I didn't come here specifically to help you" I pause '"But once I'd heared about everything, I knew I could at least try and help"
"Well, thank you," Caroline says.I smile.
You know, I could be a damn good actress. I've almost got this nice, good, girl act down.
"You know," Caroline says. "you're pretty young for a Witch, Bonnie didn't relize what she was until she was"
"seventeen" I interrupt.
Caroline cocks her head,
"Yeah, how'd you know that?" she asks
"All Bennet Witches get their Calling at seventeen" I explain
"Calling?" Matt questions
"When a potential witch is called apon to become a Witch." I explain
"Oh." Stefan says.
"So, when did you get you're Calling?" Caroline asks. I smile
"Age four"
"Is that younger than normal?" Stefan asks.
"Yes, very." I say "the normal age is around ten" Stefan nods.
I check my watch.
"Listen, I've got to go, but I'm working on a plan, I'll call you tomorrow and tell you all about it." I say.
"Why not tell us now" Caroline asks
"Because, I have to see if ill be able to pull it off" I say.
DUH! I know I'll be able to pull it off I just have to figure out how not to raise suspicion.
"If I tell you now then you'll have hope, and well.. you know what they say about hope, it breeds eternal misery"
Words.
To .
Live.
By.
They all laugh.
"Nice meeting you." Stefan says.
"You too!" I smile, then I walk out.
I walk strait into an ally and pull out my phone, I call him.
The phone rings four times before he picks up, his crisp, British, accent filling the line.
"Soph?" he asks.
"Ahh, if it isn't my second favorite Original" I snark.
"Second favorite?" he asks.
"Sorry, Klaus I like your sister better, it's a girl thing." I say.
"What if I dressed up like a girl? How about then?" he jokes.
"Then," I say snobbily, "I'd take a picture." we laugh.
"Anyway what's my update?" he inquires.
I look over and see Elena, a blank look still plastered on her face, but nonetheless saving caroline and stefans lives from a rouge Hybrid. I laugh, and turn away from them.
"everything is going as planned."
Then I hang up.
