The Vampire Diaries: Trinity

Chapter Thirty: Rose

"You tried to kill me." Katherine glares.

Trinity scoffs. "Oh please, don't tell me you're mad about that." She says. "You crossed the line when you decided to hurt people I care about."

"Why are you here?"

She throws her hands up. "I'm not sure. I should be home and asleep in my bed, but apparently I can't stop thinking about you."

"Many people have the same problem."

"Shut up." Trinity steps closer to the tomb and sits on the ground. "So I'm gonna sit here and talk to you."

"Well I don't want to talk."

Trinity stands up and puts her hands on the door. "Enjoy eternity in the cold, dark, silence." She begins to close the door.

"Wait!"

Trinity stops. "Feeling talkative?"

Katherine sits on the ground. "Fine." She sighs.

Trinity takes her seat. "Great."

They sit in silence. "I thought you came here to talk."

"I don't know what to talk about." She shrugs. "I just couldn't sleep."

"Tell me more about being a shapeshifter."

"Why do you wanna know so much?

"Because I've never heard about anything like you before and neither has my witch."

"Why should I tell you? I'm sure you're going to try and find some way to manipulate me to your use."

"Can you turn into other people?" Katherine asks. Trinity is silent. "Are you going to say anything?"

"Vampires can't drink my blood."

Katherine pouts a bit at that before covering it up. "Why?"

"Because I'm ever changing. If I decided to tap a vein for you, you wouldn't be able to keep my blood down. You'd vomit until it was out of your system."

"That sucks."

"For you." She sighs.

"Is that all you're going to tell me?"

"On the shapeshifter subject? Yes."

"Well then tell me about yourself."

Trinity looks at her. "Really?"

"Well I'm not about to tell you my life story."

"That's not fair."

She shrugs. "You're the one who came here. You talk, I'll listen."

Trinity pauses before nodding. "Fine." She says. "My name is Trinity Ava Clairborn. I was born in France."

"What part?"

"Paris." She answers. "I don't remember any of it though. We moved back to the states when I was two. We lived in Washington. My parents died almost a year later."

Katherine's face crinkles in confusion. "Who do you stay with?" She asks.

"Myself. My family was very rich. My parents were crazy planners. They had a whole system set up in case they ever died earlier than expected. So they had a lot of money put away, caretakers handpicked for guardianship. It was all taken care of. When I was ten, I wanted a change of scenery...I ended up moving here. It's been a little over six years."

"How did you find out about vampires?"

"My family kept detailed journals. It told me how to recognize them by scent. Vampires have a bitter scent due to them being dead and all. It would mask their natural scent most of the time." She sighs.
