Arabella Gilbert ♡ TVD

The Devil Inside

In Mystic Fall's town square Matt was sat on a bench when Katherine, disguised as Arabella, approached him from behind. "Guess who?" She said placing her hands over his eyes.

"Hmm. I wonder." Matt replied with a smile on his face. Unbeknown to him he was actually talking to Katherine instead of Arabella. "Arabella Salvatore."

"Yep." Katherine said cheerfully. She removed her hands from his eyes and placed a kiss on his cheek. She let out a little giggle before she walked around and joined him on the bench.

"You're in a good mood." Matt said confused. Especially after she had been miserable since her and Damon had split up.

"Well. It's a good day! We're alive." She replied with a smile on her face, crossing her legs one over the other. "And, we are partying tonight."

"Yes we are." Matt said with a nod of his head. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked.

"Are you still drinking vervain?"

Matt frowned and raised his hand in the air to show her the black, leather wrap-a-round on his wrist. "No. I wear this bracelet in case anyone needs my blood. It was your idea, remember?"

"This is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you." Katherine ripped the bracelet from Matt's arm and as the bracelet made contact with her skin, she let out a small screech. "Ouch!"

"Elle, what are you doing? I need that." He complained as he tried to reach for the piece of Jewellery.

Katherine moved it out of his reach as she started to explain. "Okay, so, long story short. I'm Katherine. Not Arabella." She could see the confused look on his face and before he could protest, she continued to explain her story. "Whilst you guys were all playing drinking games, toasting to what a horrible person I am, I was plotting a way to passenger myself into Arabella's gorgeous little head."

Matt let out a gasp and jumped up from his seat, wanting to leave as fast as he could but Katherine quickly grabbed him to stop him. "Anyway.. I need a place to crash course on all things Arabella Salvatore. She's in college now.. all grown up. And I figured, who knows her better than her compellable best friend." She paused and stood up from the bench, doing a cute little spin for him. "So. What do you think? How does my dress look? "It screams 'Arabella'. Am I right? Or am I right?"

"I'm not doing this." Matt jumped up again and just as he was about to walk away, Nadia grabbed his shoulders and forced him to sit back down.

"Just compel him already."

"Take the fun right out of it, why don't you?" Katherine snapped before she bent forward and stood eye-level with the Donovan boy. "Play along with my secret, Matty Pants." She compelled. "Now, would Arabella wear this dress to a party?"

Matt looked her up and down, checking over her outfit. "No to the dress. Yes to the shoes."

"Now, let's talk honestly about the blonde highlights in my hair. I mean, it looks cute and everything."

Matt ignored her and looked at her in disgust. "So, you're dead and hitching a ride in her brain?"

"For now.. until I make it permanent."

"Permanent? How?"

Katherine looked annoyed as she pointed at her hair. "Hello! The hair! Why did she dye it?"

"Probably because she was sick of you trying to impersonate her." Matt snapped back which earned him an irritated look from the body jumper. "I don't know. It was after she turned off her humanity."

"But her humanity is back now. Perfect. Gone!" She sat herself back down on the bench. "Okay, when's Jeremy's birthday?"

"October 13th." Matt said with glazed eyes.
