katherine pierce

“sure they are. IF YOU WANT FOOD POISONING.“ and yet, she takes one in her fingers and brings it to her lips. one wouldn’t hurt. and unlike many, Katherine does have self control. “don’t eat too many. It would be a shame you loose all of. . .”and she points at sebastian’s body, a little cheeky grin on her lips. “that.”

“REALLY? because I can. This is what happens when you mess up with vampires, my dear Elena.“ a long time ago, she thought like she did. a simple girl, got involved with two brothers and had to die. she saved herself and lost her nature in the way. a survivor came out. “look at the bright side, you won’t have to grow old while everyone else stays the same.”      because witches could slow down their aging, and vampires, well, they simply didn’t. katherine stares at her doppelganger and shrugs. “unless you wanted to grow old. i know dear old daddy john wanted you to.”

SHE HATE THIS. she hates that she flinches at the touch, and the tone of his voice, leaving her mouth dry. a reminder that she is human. well, a witch that barely knows how to do magic. The motion forces her to turn back and stare at him as Stefan handles her. “Let me go.” She demands back, her hand yanking back hoping he would get the message. Brown doe eyes stare back at the youngest Salvatore and frown. “Why would I stay? I told you once, Stefan. If you want to kill someone, you do it quickly. If not . . .let me go. I don’t need your protection, or or hate for that regard.”

     truth  be  told,  finding  out  that  katherine  was  once  again  mortal  came  as  a  surprise.  stefan  couldn’t  imagine  how  the  woman  who  had  been  alive  for  more  than  five  hundred  years  had  felt  now  that  she  had  an  expiration  date.  while  the  vampire  had  trouble  believing  that  he  was  genuinely  in  love  with  her,  he  did  remember  the  way  he  felt  before  the  compulsion.  seeing  her  in  chicago  was  just  as  surprising.  he  didn’t  think  he’d  run  into  her  there.  

     after  leaving  mystic  falls  to  take  a  breather,  he  decided  to  travel  the  country  and  not  go  astray.  usually,  things  happened  whenever  he  was  away  and  while  he  was  fairly  upset  about  what  gone  down,  he  wouldn’t  reject  an  emergency  call.  which  was  bound  to  happen  sooner  or  later.  

     for  the  time  being,  the  hundred  and  sixty  year  old  was  going  to  do  his  best  to  shake  off  the  worry  and  relax.  “katherine.”  stefan  nodded,  saying  her  name  as  a  greeting.  “actually,  i’m  not  laughing.”  eyebrows  furrowed  before  raising  slightly,  “you  seem  upset  enough.”  he  shrugged,  “how  are  you  holding  up?”  

“actually, it’s Kathy now.“ and she taps the little tag with her name written on it, a roll of her eyes. it’s so typical, but she couldn’t exactly go back to Katerina or Katherine. though she knows that he won’t be using that new name anytime soon.  “Oh well, I can never tell with you and those heavy eyebrows.” and she gives him a tap on the shoulder before taking some distance.

and of course stefan would be asking how she is. upset. she had been upset ever since she became a human. “my feet hurt all the time so I can hardly use heels.” and she has to settle for platforms, outrageous really. “last week I got a cold by simply not tying my collar properly and oh right, I’m human because my bland copy made me choke on the cure.” so she is venting, but what else was new around these parts. a hand to her hips, she brushes her hair with the one free she has. “and I’m one week behind rent, other than that. i’m great.”
