So Happy Valentines day or as I like to call it Single Awareness Day, here's an extra post to make up for the past late posts enjoy and of course review :)
"Thank you," I said taking the glass of liquor from him. "You know that it was my blood used to turn the Mikealson family correct?" He nodded and I continued taking a sip of the burning liquid. "Esther grabbed me in the middle of the night and cast the spell slitting my throat and collecting my blood. I died. I woke up the next day as a vampire, the witch Aayana gave me blood and told me I was Esther's consequence.
"She also explained why I was alive. After all I did actually die. I died as a claims to need a balance and it does, however it tends to favor good over evil. So I'm the fail safe. The originals were turned with my blood and are therefore part of my bloodline. If you kill me all vampires die. I've never turned a human with my blood specifically, I've never needed to."
"You knew this before Finn died?" Stefan asked. I took another sip.
"Aayana told me."
"Why would she help you?"
"I take offense at your tone. Besides, Aayana was my sister. Her actual mother died giving birth to her, my father married my mother, only related through our father but my mother always did love her more." I looked down at the glass noticing it was empty. "Now not that I didn't enjoy our little heart to heart, I have a person I came to visit simply because he's on my hate list. Oh and be careful with Rebekah. We have been to hell and back. She's put her trust in countless guys and most have ended up turning around and stabbing her in the back. I'd hate to see your head on a stick, hero hair just as pretty as usual. Oh by the by what happened to you and Elena?"
"She slept with Damon."
"Oh joy I thought I wouldn't have to disown anymore of my descendants."
"You disown people still?" He teased.
"Yes I do. Katherine, Katerina, what's her face Petrova or Pierce, she slept with my boyfriend. Yeah, if I wasn't so lazy you'd see a much uglier version of my head on a stick."
"That sounds healthy."
"Thanks," I said smirking as I set the glass down and walked to the basement door. "Oh and a tip of advice that I probably shouldn't give to you, Silas is real and hell on Earth: not just some children's story. Don't worry about the screams by the way I won't kill your brother no matter how much I want to. Ta ta." I walked happily down the stairs and peeked through the window making my voice sound desperate.
"Damon?" I asked hating that Elena somehow chose him.
"Elena, you shouldn't be here."
"I know but I had to see you. A little bird told me they had you locked up."
"Katherine?"
"Of course not Damon. I'm the pretty one remember?" I said opening the door and closing it behind me.
"Why are you here?"
"Because I strongly dislike you, and I love seeing people on my hate list in pain." I walked over to him and bent down next to him and quirked my head to the side. "What no more sarcastic remarks?" Annoyed I kicked him over so he was lying on his back.
"Go to hell," he mumbled.
"What was that?" I asked before my phone rang. I answered it and walked out of the cell bored with him. I locked the door behind me and stood outside watching Damon.
"Come home now," Nik fumed.
"Not until you say please," I say sweetly smiling at the revolver on a narrow table in the small hallway. I smile at the wooden bullets and walk back over to the door.
"Tatia will you please deign to grace us with your presence?" He asked mockingly.
"Umm," I began then deciding to have some fun fired the gun at Damon who snarled. I let out a scream so Nik heard me over him and listened to Nik freak out.
"Tatia? What was that? Where are you? I'm coming love." He hung up and I started dying of laughter.
"Goodbye Mr. Salvatore, it was fun." I perked my head at the conversation upstairs. Elena is really whiny I decided.
"She tried to kill me," her voice called out.
"And this'll be the second time that Damon tried to kill Jeremy. So I guess nobody's perfect right?"
"Are you trying to punish me? I don't know how many times I can apologize." My god Elena, the world doesn't revolve around you.
"I never asked you to. You can do whatever you want, Elena, I really don't care."
"You're hurt. You're hurt and you're acting out. Stefan this isn't you." My bloodline really annoys me.
"Sure it is. you've just never seen me like this. You don't know what I look like when I'm not in love with you. I'll let Damon know you stopped by." I walked upstairs called forward by the sound of her retreating footsteps.
"Don't kid yourself darling. You are nowhere near over her." I say leaning against the wall and looking at the ceiling.
"You were eavesdropping." He acknowledged.
"The conversation caught my interest. Does she always act like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like the world revolves around her."
"And you're one to talk?" I smile at him and walk towards him.
"So what's up with this sire bond? You blame it for everything, but something tells me that you know as much about the bonds as I do. Well almost. I'm a bit of a know it all."
"I would never have guessed," he said sarcastically.
"Come on, you know what I mean. The sire bond is created from feelings the person had before they were turned. The sire bond just makes them more concrete. So she might actually want to be with him. Sorry I'm a bitch, but bitchiness usually helps me out at times like these."
He smiles and looks down at his feet before looking back at me. "You're actually helping believe it or not. You remind me of a friend." I raise my eyebrows asking silently. "Lexi was my best friend-"
"Wait blond hair, brown eyes, total badass? I might've been the one to turn her. And you said was? Sorry for interrupting."
"Damon killed her."
"Are you really sure that killing him wouldn't help you? Because I'd love to play cricket with him a piece for every time he annoyed me or pissed me off. I could be going for days..." I trailed off.
"No, I may enjoy seeing him locked up like that and in pain but he's my brother."
"Like Nik. For a long while I had the means to kill him and almost did. But I couldn't. I came close a few times. Close enough to the point where he'd be swearing that he'd change. But people don't change, they can't."
"What's your story with them?"
"You really want to know my life's story tonight don't you?"
"Well I'm bored and this is fun right?"
"You're stalling aren't you?"
"I'm not stalling you, I'm stalling me."
"And why is that?"
"I don't know."
"I think you know that already you're just afraid to admit it."
"And what am I afraid to admit?"
"That this little bubble of numbness you are hiding yourself in is about to pop. You don't want to go to sleep and have a dream about your girlfriend to wake up to a world where she is with your brother that wants to kill her brother. You want her back even though she has no clue that you do. You want to turn off your emotions just to get rid of the one thing that's been constantly on your mind lately, Elena. But in the end you know that eventually you'll have to sleep, and move on, but most importantly you know how important those pesky little emotions are. Someone once said that without pain you can't feel joy. Well that's bull, but the pain makes the joy a lot more sweet and the sex more exciting."
He looked away perplexed. Trying to come up with something to say because I can be really deep. "You may be right." He said finally.
"Of course I'm ri-" I was cut off when he lowered his lips to mine and kissed them softly my eyes widening as I shoved him away and took a step away from him. "You'd better hope Kol doesn't hear about this or you'll be dead." With that I turned and left, my hand finding my lips as I left the boarding house.
I'd never expect Stefan Salvatore to make the first move. Or any move for that matter. If Kol finds out Stefan will be dead. Even if it was just a simple kiss. I pour over these thoughts wishing my head was clear as I vamp ran three quarters of the way to the house. I walked the rest using the time to think. I jumped a feww feet in the air when my phone rang.
"Tia where are you," Kol asked.
"On my way home. What are you doing?"
"Waiting for you, listening to music."
"Is Nik still out looking for me?"
"Yes and why is that by the way?"
"I visited our good friend Damon Salvatore. I shot him a few times and screamed louder than Damon so your dear older brother is looking to save a damsel in distress."
"I always miss the fun. Hurry up and come home, well whatever you want to call this place."
"I'm walking up the driveway now."
"You don't look very motivated," he said and I looked at the house seeing Kol on the balcony with a phone to his ear.
I lied down in the middle of the driveway and started looking at the stars. "What was that?" I asked lazily. Suddenly brown eyes were in front of me instead of the stars.
"Be careful mademoiselle wouldn't want to be hit by a trolley." He said charmingly and I started cracking up. That was how we met actually. I was lying in the middle of a French dirt road waiting for something to pass by and get an easy meal. Instead Kol found me, we were happy for about a decade far enough away from Paris to escape all the power thirsty goons, but close enough to visit regularly.
"Wouldn't that be a shame." I replied lost in his eyes once again.
"Now why is a fine lady like yourself all by her lonesome?"
"I was on my way to visit a man I know but decided to stop and rest." I said coming back to the present.
"A mere twenty feet from the house." He teased.
"Twenty very long feet."
"Well what kind of man would I be to not assist a lady in need." Then he picked me up over his shoulder via vamp speed and started walking normally while I old him to put me down or at least stop treating me like a sack of potatoes. He set me down in front of him back at his room. "How was our dear friend Mr. Salvatore?"
"In pain the way I like him." I said hanging my arms around his neck as he snaked his around my waist pulling me closer to him.
"That's good love. That's good." I rolled my eyes at his tired state and kissed him trying to clear some of the confusion Stefan gave me. I pulled away breathing hard.
"I'm going to go get changed," I said breathlessly pulling away before he caught my arm and pulled me back to him a mischievous smirk on his face. "Kol I'm tired." I said flatly. "Besides where's your ring?" I added not feeling it on either of the hands I grabbed.
"Ah my dear older brother claimed that I was no longer part of this family and took it." I sighed and squeezed my eyes shut pulling away from him.
"We'll just have to get it back then." I mumbled.
"Tomorrow, you do look tired. You need to rest." I nodded and turned away from the door leadng to the hall and walked back to my closet in search of pjs.
