1864 - The meeting

"Eleanor come welcome our guest darling" I hear my mother say from downstairs , lovely another girl for my brothers to fawn over , this day just keeps getting better and better . Hopefully since we have a guest the punishments will stop as we need to seem like the perfect family living the dream . My parents are what you would call strict and emotionless they do not care unless you are damaging their reputations or it's their precious baby boy Stefan . Stefan just gets on my nerves , I cannot stand the favoritism and his arrogance towards everyone and everything.

I make my way down the stairs being careful not to trip on my abnormally long dress and putting on my best fake smile , mentally preparing myself to be lady like and hold up the family's image . Come on Eleanor you can do this , deep breaths you can do it . When I get outside I stand next to my brother and place my hands neatly together in front of me , I have a tall stance and put on my best game face . You may be thinking ur being a bit dramatic aren't you , well no because if I mess this up then it will be all my fault and it will be added to the long list of reasons why no one likes me .

After 10 minutes of waiting , a horse and carriage arrives and this beautiful girl steps out and into my parents view, I waited for the judgmental looks but they were replaced by satisfaction and fondness .

"Hello Mr and Mrs Salvatore it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance , I am Katherine Pierce." The girl speaks politely and shakes their hands she looks at my brother then glances at me before returning her gaze to my mother .

"Very polite, this is my youngest son Stefan , if you do not already have a suitor he will be a perfect match for you and this is Eleanor , my daughter I'm sure you will be the best of friends but I warn you she is temperamental that girl." Of course mother can't go one day without insulting me . So I smile at the girl and excuse myself back to my en-suite where I watch out of the window overlooking the courtyard only to see Katherine drinking blood .
