Maria Salvatore || The Vampire Diaries

(AN: someone gave me the idea to make Adelaide Kane the face-claim for Maria, and I did. Enjoy!)

Maria's POV

I slept at the boarding house, but around 9am I was rudely awoken to yelling coming from downstairs.

I recognized Elena's voice, since she did sound like Katherine, but with a whiny tone.

"Stefan! You just can't make promises for me like that!" Elena yelled and I rolled my eyes and sat up from the bed, surprisingly Damon and Stefan didn't protest when I told them I wanted a room here. They even seemed happy. But I still had a low trust in them, they are my brothers, but I haven't seen them in years and they could've changed.

"Elena. This is my family! My little sister- what if it was Jeremy? Wouldn't you do the same?" I heard Stefan speak, his voice was more calm, even though it was loud.

".. That's not fair, my little brother isn't best friends with a psychotic bitch."

Once the words left Elena's mouth, I vamp speed downstairs, Elena flinched when she saw me. She grasped her chest, her heart rate rising drastically. "Talking bad about someone I'm very close with isn't a smart move." I growl, and Stefan comes in between us.

"I'm sorry about that Maria. Elena.. I think it's best if you leave for a bit." Stefan mutters the last part but the hurt look on Elena's face tells me everything I need to know, "Wait.. what?" She stutters out, "I still need to talk to Maria about a few things. But still- don't bother with Katherine. Okay?"

She gives him a look, before she scoffs and turns around. Before she can actually leave, Stefan calls her name and walks up to her. "I love you. Okay?" She just gives him a tight smile and a nod before leaving.

"What do you want to talk about now?" I ask, kinda disgusted to see that. I only ever saw Stefan with Katherine, it was weird to see him with someone else, even though Elena and Katherine look identical.

"There's rules, if you're staying in Mystic Falls." He mutters, and I raise my eyebrow, "Rules?"

"Yes. You can't kill any one here, it's too obvious and the council already know rumours about vampires. Luckily Damon's on the council, so he tells them other wise." I stop myself from rolling my eyes.

"So how will I feed?" I ask, getting annoyed. "Damon has supplies downstairs, just- don't let anyone know you're a vampire." Stefan says and I groan, "I'm not stupid Stefan."

"And who made these rules?" I ask, I know Damon didn't. Damon was never strict. "Me."

I laugh, actually burst out laughing at his reply. "You? That's the funniest thing I've heard all week. Why should i follow rules from you?" I ask, my laugh interrupting my sentence.

"Because I'm older, and I could force you down." He slightly threatens and I let out a scoff, "Ok. First of all, you're only a year older than me. But still- I remember when we were humans Stefan. You struggled to beat me, and secondly- you're on a strict diet of animal blood. I'm not. I'm sure I could win if it ever came down to that." I tell him, I was getting slightly annoyed yet angry.

Stefan just rolls his eyes, "Fine. Just don't kill anyone. Okay?"

"Wouldn't dream of it." I mutter in a sarcastic voice, walking past him. But once I'm in the kitchen and not seen by him, a smile appears on my face. Damn, I really missed my brothers.

I haven't heard from Katherine, I knew she knew I was here though. Maybe she was mad at me, I would be too.
