The Salvatore Girl

Chapter 11

Tory told Stefan and Katherine that she was invited as well by a man named Kol. Stefan had no clue who he was, but Katherine said that he was one of Klaus' siblings. This made Tory confused, how can a man knows her but she don't, she could not recall meeting this person before. How odd. Stefan encouraged her not to go, he couldn't afford another one of his loved ones being threaten or hurt.

"Stefan, I have to find out who is this guy. " Tory begged Stefan.

"Klaus is dangerous and so are his siblings. What happens if I could not protect you?" Stefan crossed his arms, waiting for her respond, hoping that she would change her mind.

"Oh come on, I've been protecting myself for the past few decades already. I can do the same thing here. " Tory threw her hands up in the air and placed in on her waist.

Katherine came to the kitchen where both of them were discussing, she could hear it across the house. Vampire hearings.

"She has a point, Stefan, " she went to the fridge and took out a carton of milk along with a glass from one of the many cabinets. She poured it carefully and drank it.

"It's none of your business, " Stefan glared at her for a few moments and turned his gaze back to his sister, "Okay, fine. You can go but please be careful."

"Don't worry, Stef. I'm good at protecting myself." She winked and smiled.

It was only two hours before the party starts. They had already picked out their outfits from one of the boutiques, they were told to wear formal gowns and suits.

Tory picked out a simple red dress, it was strapless. The top was fitted to her body, which showed her curves, there were crisscrosses across her top as designs, and from her lower waist, the dress fell till the ground. She looked like one of the women back in the 1900's, just that she looked very young. Her brown hair was in soft curls that made her looked more mature and the upper half of her hair was tied with a rose pin. She had put some makeup on, light smokey eyes, blush, and a red lipstick. Lastly, she took her red purse and was ready to go.

At the same time, Katherine with her black gown came down stairs, Stefan was waiting at the door,

with his tux on and a neatly folded handkerchief in the pocket.

"Looking good Stefan," Katherine said as she carefully went down the stairs, not wanting to fall.

Stefan smiled, and reached out his hand, offering her help to get down the stairs, "You're beautiful."

She smiled and took his hand and they headed off to Stefan's car. Tory was left behind, and scoffed, "Gosh, seriously?" And followed them to the car.

She knew that they were playing an act if Klaus' spies or something suddenly popped out of nowhere. But, now she wasn't sure whether they were faking it or not?

Many people came to the party, drinks and food were served. Some of them were dancing or chatting with one another and some were sitting there quietly, playing with their cups or nails.

Tory saw someone familiar, the blonde hair and beautiful features, Caroline. Why was she doing here? Tory came towards her and she was holding a glass of wine in her hand.

"Hey Caroline, you look beautiful! I love the dress." Tory said touching the fabric of the blue dress, examining the quality of the dress.

"Oh, yours too. I like the design, simple and nice. " she smiled brightly and a few seconds later, her smile disappeared, looking frustrated.
