"This calls for a little celebration." I say, filling two glasses full of champagne.

Me and Katherine just got back to my hotel room, leaving Klaus with his siblings to look over him.

I really hope that Freya's design of the dagger keeps Klaus asleep for awhile, hopefully until it's removed.

I hand a glass to Katherine and we touch our glasses together before taking a sip.

"We don't have to be a secret anymore." Kat smiles. She crawls onto the bed and leans against the headboard.

"Well, are you sure you want to tell everyone? Like Damon and Stefan? Do they need to know?" I ask, sitting next to her.

"Oh... you're right, I forgot about them. We probably shouldn't tell them- I don't think that would go over smoothly." Kat says. "Hey, at least we don't have to worry about Klaus!" She takes another sip of champagne.

"At least." I agree, turning to face her as an idea pops into my head. "We should ask for extra towels..."

"And feed on whoever brings them?" Katherine finished my sentence excitedly.

"Yes! It's been too long since I've had blood- human blood- straight from the vein."

"No better way to celebrate." Kat laughs, picking up the phone.

I finish every last drop of blood from the woman's veins and let her body drop to the floor.

I spot Katherine on the bed with blood running down her chin and neck, all the way down to her chest. She's wearing a tight black tank top and black jeans that show off her figure. Her hair falls behind her back as she lays propped up on her elbows, watching me.

I crawl onto the bed and smile. "Ok- I know I act all 'anti-murder' but I'd do that any day."

Katherine laughs. "Me too."

I lean over her, my hands on either side of her, and kiss her, she kisses me back. I pull away, licking my lips. "Mmm, tastes like blood." I smile before kissing her again.

I pull away, bringing my lips to a blood drop on her chest, and following it up her neck. She tilts her head back and I finally reach her lips again.

I close my locker and Elena shows up next to it, causing me to jump.

"What!" I ask, annoyed.

"I know this may seem a little- weird, but, you know, Alaric..." Elena starts.

"Yeah?"

"Well he wants you to go to his and Jo's wedding. It's tomorrow, I know, late notice."

My eyes widen. "Like- Jo as in Kai's sister? The one he wants dead?"

"Yeah..."

"Why does he want me there?"

"I don't know, okay. He just told me to invite you and that's what I'm doing." She tucks her hair behind her ear, avoiding eye contact. "I have to go."

I turn watching her walk away into an empty classroom.

"Hey." Katherine says from behind me.

I flip back around to face her.

"What was that about?" She asks.

"Apparently I'm invited to Alaric Saltzman's wedding." I fake smile. "Plus one?"

"Wouldn't miss it!" She laughs. "I feel like there's gonna be a bit of drama."

I roll my eyes and laugh as we walk to class.
