Maria's POV

When I got to the boarding house, I was surprised to hear yelling.

"We made a promise to her Damon!" I heard as Stefan yelled, "I know we did! But Katherine is such a ..." He doesn't finish his sentence because I walk in the room, the front door slightly slamming behind me.

"Go on. Don't let me ruin the fun." I say, while walking to the small table with bottles of liquor. They don't say anything, so I pour my drink.

"What did Katherine do that has you all riled up?" I ask, after the drink is poured and I have it in my hand. "She's a bitch." Damon mutters.

"Of course she is. She's Katherine." I reply with a shrug, "Damon listen- I wouldn't waste my time on her if I were you. It would be Stefan who I'd be worried about." I tell them a moment later, and hurt flashes through Damon's eyes for a split second. Stefan on the other hand looks a bit proud.

"Have you two ever wondered why everyone had an obsession with Stefan? I mean- first Katherine now Elena. How weird." I say without thinking and Damon quietly growls, I could tell he was angry. Mostly jealous of our brother. "Don't worry Damon, Katherine gave you a try too, maybe Elena will also." I say again, without thinking.

Stefan rolls his eyes, I sit on the couch. Lifting up my feet and placing them on the coffee table. "So tell me.. how has your experience of being a vampire been?" I ask, genuinely interested.

Damon's whole mood change, he lets out a chuckle. "Well our dear brother here forced me to turn. That should be enough explanation... right Stefan?"

I accidentally let out a 'oohh' sound, and Stefan glares at Damon. "Really? A little harsh Stef."

"I didn't want to experience it alone. I needed Damon with me." Stefan answers and now it's my turn to laugh, "Please- I had no family. All I had was Katherine, that should be enough to tell you how I turned out." I joke but I could tell they were still stiff about the situation.

"Don't worry- I'm over it. Sorta." I mumble the last part, and Stefan lets out a sigh. "I'm sorry Maria. I.. We never meant to leave you."

I shrug at his words, "It's whatever. It's the past." I lie, it still bugged me, but I wasn't going to show my feelings about that situation anymore.

"Have you two talked with Katherine?" I ask, changing the subject entirely. Stefan finally sits down on the opposite couch, "Nope. Radio silence." He mumbles and closes his eyes.

"How long have you been with Elena?" I ask, changing the subject once again. Stefan sighs, "A year or so. Why?"

"Just curious. I haven't seen you in a long time, is it wrong for me to ask a few questions?" I mumble, taking a gulp from my drink. "What about you Damon? Or are you pinning on Elena too, just as you both were Katherine." I joke but once nobody laughs and Stefan becomes stiff, realization hits me.

"Oh my god. You are!" I yell, as I turn my body around quickly to stare at him, "Shut up Maria." Damon warns me, his voice tough as he glances back at Stefan.

"No, she shouldn't. Why don't you tell us about that Damon? I'm sure you want to." Stefan suddenly speaks, he leans forward and puts his weight on his knees, staring intensely at Damon.

I slowly lean into the couch, taking a small sip from my drink as I watch the scene unfold. I must say, I do enjoy a bit of drama.

"There's nothing to talk about." Damon answers shortly, not bothering to make eye contact with Stefan. "Oh there isn't? How about when Katherine first got here, when you thought she was Elena."
