Katherine and Elena had gotten to California and the next day easily. Elena smiled, " I love it here." "It's quite great. But depends on what city you go to really," Katherine agreed nonchalantly.
"What city are we going to?" Elena asked quickly. "Malibu or Los Angles," Katherine answered shortly, keeping her eyes on the road. "Los angles," Elena decided.
Katherine looked over to her and smirked, "sounds good." They kept on driving until Katherine stopped in a pricy mansion that was in a gated community.
"Wow," Elena deadpanned in amazement. "I know," Katherine answered cockily, smirking slightly. They soon got settled and were sitting around bored.
"Do you have any good books around?" Elena asked as they sat at the kitchen table in awkward silence.
Katherine suddenly got a sneaky plan. "Sure," Katherine smirked. Elena raised a suspicious eyebrow to her companion. "Just follow me," Katherine easily assured.
Elena took a deep breath and followed Katherine up to the library. They came in to the library, and Elena couldn't help but gape at the largeness and grandness of the whole room.
Katherine walked to a specific spot, and looked at the spines of each book. Her fingers brushing gingerly against some of the aged and worn down spines.
She stopped, and took a book out of it's spot.
She pivoted around to Elena and handed the book to her. Elena looked at the title. "Carmilla."
Elena darted her eyes up to Katherine and glared. "Really, you want me to learn about a lesbian vampire trying to seduce a human girl?" Elena asked coldly. "I thought you'd like it. You seem like the type to be into dark, gothic novels," Katherine replied in feigned innocence. Elena rolled her eyes at her, "sure." Katherine smirked, she was a smart cookie.
"I'm sorry, I read it recently and just thought of it suddenly, and wanted you to read it," Katherine answered honestly. Elena smiled a little bit at Katherine, "it's ok, I've read it before actually." Katherine stared at Elena in surprise.
"Wow," she was speechless. Elena raised an eyebrow, "didn't expect that did you?" Katherine giggled slightly and nodded truthfully.
"Nope, not at all," Katherine answered quickly. They laughed together in momentary glee. Soon enough their laughter died down, and they were left in silence. Their twin orbs meeting during the silence.
"We should go do something fun, it's really boring just sitting around here," Elena said, breaking the silence. "Anywhere you wanna go," Katherine said easily.
Elena was surprised at Katherine. She gave Elena so much free will for everything now, and actually let Elena decided instead of Katherine herself.
"We should go shopping for a completely new wardrobe," Elena thought of it suddenly. Her eyes lit up excitedly as she smiled contagiously towards Katherine. Which resulted in Katherine grinning back.
"Sounds good," Katherine confirmed. Elena screeched excitedly and threw herself at Katherine. She wrapped her arms around Katherine's neck. "You're so awesome," Elena was so jubilant about going shopping.
"Woah there," Katherine said, easily caught off guard by the sudden embrace. But she hugged Elena back slowly, feeling sort of foreign to actually hugging someone in over 100 years or longer.
"I haven't been able to be so casual and normal like this in over a year, so thank you," Elena explained, pulling back from the hug.
Katherine was still surprised, and couldn't utter a single word.
"Let's go," she was finally able to compose herself.
Elena nodded and quietly followed her to the car. Now here they were in the car once again. Elena's way of thinking made her uncomfortable. What does once again mean? Why does it sound so bad?
Elena shivered slightly, from nothing in particular.
They went on with their driving and soon got to the mall. Well it was Melrose, but Elena considered it to be a mall someway.
It's been a while since she been here. And she was excited, finally could show her doppelganger a good time easier now, unlike before in that small boring town.
She dragged Elena into the first store she was. Where there were the typical clothes that teen stoners would wear, Katherine actually liked some of them. Elena's eyes widened as she took in the whole style of the store.
"Oh no-" Katherine saw traces of human Elena coming forth. So she jumped on it quickly to throw that away. "Come on. New life. New wardrobe?" Katherine raised an eyebrow.
"Besides you'll look hot in this kind of stuff," Katherine complimented, smirking slightly. That somehow won Elena over, "fine."
Katherine smiled excitedly, and dragged Elena further in.
Elena's eyes gazed over the different assortment of clothes. Katherine was right actually, now that she was a vampire. She had to shed the boring clothes that covered up her whole body most of the time.
Katherine looked through the clothes racks, as Elena looked through the jewelry stand right near where Katherine was.
"Take as much as you'd like," Katherine told Elena from her spot. Elena was surprised at first, but just nodded in reply.
She absently grabbed a few bracelets of some bands that she liked. She grabbed a beautiful necklace along with it.
Katherine and Elena turn around to face eachother, at the same time. Like they had come intuition.
"Try these on," Katherine handed some clothes to Elena. Instead of protesting, like she normally would. She nodded and grimaced. She lugged to the dressing room, and set everything down.
She first tried on the black and white checkered dress. It came down to about mid-thigh and had thin spaghetti straps. "Come out, so you can give me a little fashion show," Katherine's smooth voice echoed from the other side of the dressing room.
Elena gulped loudly, and gained her pride and confidence. She came out from the dressing room, and saw Katherine standing right there.
Katherine liked the dress. Elena looked good in it, she had to admit that. "Good. We're going to get that," Katherine confirmed shortly. Elena took that as her queue to leave and go try something else on.
She tried on the skinny jeans and the ripped over-sized top Katherine had chose.
She came out, and Katherine had a look of pleasure across her features. "I think we should by everything, because you look sexy in just about everything," Katherine said, coming to stand up.
Elena felt something hit her and she grinned. "You have the Petrova genes," Katherine smirked.
"Ok, I'm going to go change, and are you going to get some stuff for yourself?" Elena asked. "Nope," Katherine replied shortly. Elena shrugged it off and just went to change back into her normal clothes she had before.
They got back home, and Katherine boredly helped Elena sort her clothes. Elena's thoughts moved to the suggestive looks Katherine kept giving her, and the way her heated glances seemed to be for Elena only.
It made her uncomfortable, now she was starting to regret coming. Because somehow this wasn't just friends living together. It was two doppelganger. Who had a connection. A blood bond, since Katherine had fed Elena her blood before. And something else it seemed like….Elena couldn't quite put her finger on it at the minute. But she'd have to find out eventually.
