Maria Salvatore || The Vampire Diaries

two

Stefan has a smile on his face as he dances with Katherine. The ballroom was quite packed, and he was happy to see Maria and Damon dancing together. Even though Damon would send an occasional glare towards Stefan and Katherine, he was jealous, of course he was.

Suddenly, everything changes around him. He doesn't notice for a moment, he was to busy admiring Katherine.

He looks at the people around them, only to see most of them dead, laying on the ground, blood drained from their bodies.

Stefan looks back at Katherine and pushes her away once he noticed her sudden change in appearance, blood was dripping down her mouth and chin as veins appeared under her eyes.

"Stefan!" He hears his little sister cry out and he runs towards her voice which was in the next room over.

The first thing he sees is his father, a shot gun in his hands, he points the gun at Stefan first before turning suddenly and aiming at Maria.

"Stefan! Don't let him kill me! Please help me!" Is the last thing he hears his little sister say before he watches as his father pulls the trigger and Maria falls to the ground, Stefan watches as the life leaves her eyes.

He wakes up immediately, and calms down when he sees Elena laying beside him. "Are you okay?" She asks and he nods. "Bad dream." Elena smiles at him before cuddling up to him again.

And that's when he realized it wasnt Elena, when Katherine touches him. He immediately jumps out of bed and Katherine grins.

"Katherine." Stefan mutters and Katherine grins and sits up, "You have to admit I am getting good at this."

Katherine sits down on the couch, reading Stefan's journal.

"You know it's rude to read others personal things." Stefan says as he hands Katherine a glass of blood and grabs the journal with his other hand. "I know. I just couldn't help myself, it was too good to put down." She replies sarcastically and takes a sip of the drink.

"I read that you don't drink human blood, which is.. weird. Oh and your encounter with a werewolf, it must've been very strange for you." Katherine says while watching Stefan.

"What do you know about werewolf's?" Stefan asks and Katherine sighs, "Where's your precious Elena during this fine morning?"

Stefan just stares at her with a hard look on his face, Katherine raises an eyebrow and smirks. "Touchy subject?" She asks with a grin.

"What are you doing here Katherine?" He asks and turns to look at the fire, "I told you. I missed you." She says with a annoyed tone, and she may have thought her friend showed up here, Katherine had spent all night looking for her.

"So about the werewolf's, what do- you know about them?" Stefan changed the subject, and Katherine got up from the chair, walking around slowly. "I know not to pet them." She replied and Stefan rolled his eyes.

"Who do you think was responsible for the town being rid of vampires?" Katherine asked, looking at him as she leaned against the tall chair. "The founding families." He answered with hesitation.

"Lead by the?" Katherine said and realization hit Stefan, "The Lockwoods."

Katherine nodded, "You remember the founders ball don't you? The one that you were dreaming about.."

"I was your escort." He muttered. "That was before you and Damon knew about my little secret."

Katherine grinned at Stefan, before Damon's voice interrupted them. "I would just like to make a toast, to my good friend George Lockwood. George, thank you for bravely defending us out."
