Take Me Away (The Vampire Diaries Fan Fiction)

Chapter 2: New Arrivals

Larissa's POV

I awoke to the smell of bacon filling my almost empty room. It has been a long time since I have woken up to the smell of breakfast in the morning. I jump out of bed eager for the day to start. I glance at the clock it reads 8:25. I run to the shower, peeling all my clothes off and jumping in seconds later. The hot water feels good on my cool body. As I soak I recall the events of last night on the ride home. Stefan told me he loved me more than Katerina. This baffles me because I have always thought he was head over heels in love with her. I suppose not. I rinse myself off and exit the shower. I pull out a pink and blue floral print ruffly skirt, and a light blue v neck. I pull them on and slip into my vans. I put on my make up; mascara, tinsy bit of eyeliner, foundation, and blush. I find my way to the stairs, leaving my hair to dry into natural waves.

"Good morning, Stefan." I greet him as I walk into the large kitchen area taking a seat on the counter.

"Did you sleep well, Miss Pierce?" He smirks at me while finishing up the eggs.

"Quite well. Although I think I could hear you snoring in the other room." I winked and hopped off the counter to help cook.

"I never knew you cooked, Mr. Salvatore." I eye him suspicously. He just laughs and shrugs it off. I try to continue the conversation. Although it looks as he doesn't want to.

"So, where is the lovely Damon?" I smirk at him. I decide to joke with him, "He always was my favorite Salvatore brother." He gives me a stern look and I start laughing very loudly. "You know i'm kidding, love! I always favored the younger boys." I wink at him before finally getting back on topic. "So, where is he?" I ask seriously this time.

He sighs before deciding to reply, "He hasn't been home fore several months."

"Why?" I have always been one to ask questions. My curiosity always seems to get the best of me.

"Well, we got into a fight over a girl. No big deal." He smiles assuringly before handing me a plate of bacon, eggs, and pancakes.

"I must meet this girl who has my boys falling head over heels." I wink. Stefan looks nervous, but I shrug it off and continue. "What's her name? "Oh and we need to call Damon, tell him i'm here. I'm sure he would love to see me again." I smirk recalling a memory from long ago. But it is pushed to the back of my mind when Stefan finally decides to speak up.

"How about you call him?" He suggests, obviously avoding talking about the mystery girl. I guess I understand he doesn't want to talk about her, so I don't press on. Instead he gives me Damon's number and we decide to call him after breakfast.

Stefan's POV

"What do you mean you can't come?" Rissa yells into the phone. I knew Damon wouldn't want to come. It's all because of me. "Okay, I realize that you are in Chicago." "Yes, I understand that." A few  seconds later she tries to nagotiate with him once again. This has beem going on for at least 10 minutes now. I'm tired and start to get up but she grabs my arm and pulls me back down. O n e s e c, she mouths to me. I shrug and sit down. "Great!" She exclaims into the phone. "We'll see you around 8:00." a pause. "You better be in your best attire." She smirks. "Okay, see you soon love." And with that she hangs up the phone. My mouth agap as she stares at me.

"How did you do that?" I stammer. "He has never come when i've called him." I look at her with confusion. Why would he want to come now? I ask myself.

She laughs before going on. "I told he would want to see me!" She jokes. "While you were dozing off, I made him a deal. I told him we had information about Katerina and he would want to come immidiatley. So he is coming tonight." She smirks at me. I give her a round of applause, when a note is dropped outside our door. I go to pick it up, and in neat writing is an invitation to a ball at the Mikaelson Mansion. "What a pleasant suprise." I mutter to myself.
