Always And Forever

Prologue

Downing a double shot of bourbon I slap the glass down on the sticky bar top. Sitting in a crummy excuse of a bar in Hicksville Mystic Falls isn't how I like to spend my time. I'd rather be laying on the beach in Costa Rica somewhere. 

So why am I here? I got a call from the bitch who ruined my life. 

Just get close to my mini-me without getting caught by the Salvatores. Once your cover is up Damon will surely kill you. Her last words to ring in her ears.

I'm done. Once this is over Katherine can go fuck herself. It all started with Isobel, my great-niece.  She gave birth to a little girl before being turned herself. Low and behold that little baby turned out to be Katherine's doppelganger. Go figure.  

As if by magic, my cell starts ringing and it's none other than Isobitch herself.

" What? " I ask rudely.

Just shut up and listen, Elena just showed at Trudie's. You know what to do. 

Sighing I leave a twenty under my shot glass and high tail it to my mark. The whole time cursing Isobitch. This is all her fault anyway. If she wouldn't have given her daughter up there would be no need to keep an eye on her. 

When I make it to Trudie's street I park and put my hair in a low ponytail and put my hood over it. Just as I'm walking across the street I see the young girl rushing out of Trudie's house. She begins digging in her purse for her keys no doubt.

Turning around she sees me standing here looking at her. As fast as she can, she unlocks the car door, ignites the engine and drives off. I let her go. After all, she's not my mark. 

Slowly, I walk up to Trudie's. I ring the doorbell waiting patiently. The woman opens her door hesitantly.

" May I help you? " Trudie asks.

I look at her and, in an emotionless voice say " thank you for the text. "

She truly looks surprised.

" You're welcome. I didn't tell her anything. I-I kept my promise. " She says stuttering.

" Good. " I say unconsciously popping my knuckles getting ready.

" The girl, though, she— " She says trembling " she knew something. "

" That won't be a problem. She won't get any closer to the truth. " I say still emotionless.

" Good. So I'm done? " She asks hopefully.

I smile evilly. " Yes. You're done. "

Trudie starts to close the door, but I'm too fast. I grab ahold of it and push it back. Trudie struggles but I'm too strong.

" No, I won't invite you in! You can't come in! " She yells trying to close the door.

" Yes. I. Can. " I say calmly before flinging the door open forcefully. Trudie lands hard on the stairs. 

Walking in I corner my prey.

" I don't understand. I did what you told me. I did my part! "She yells once more pleading for her life.

" And now I have to do mine. " I say making Trudie jump up in terror and start running up the stairs. 

I follow her slowly, enjoying the chase and grab her by the hair. Throwing her down the stairs, she tumbles to the bottom floor. A pool of blood forms around Trudie's head letting me know that she's dead. I descend down the stairs and step over her lifeless body, leaving the house.

Once I'm a few blocks away I call Katherine.

Is it done?

" Yes. Elena saw me in the middle of the street looking at her. It was executed perfectly. " I say heading to the crummy motel I'm staying at. I'm so ready for some sleep.

As usual. You did well today.

I sigh. " What's next? " 

You need to lay low for a while. Take some time off and I'll let you know when you're needed again.

Rolling my eyes I connect my phone to Bluetooth and dial a number. After a few rings, a woman answers.

" Hey, Luc watcha doing? Oh and thanks for getting me in that woman's home without being invited. " I say grinning.

Anytime... I'm currently enjoying some free time. Why you down for some fun?

I grin. " Hell yeah. Queen bitch told me to lay low so a trip out of Virginia is in order. "

Groovy. Meet you in Rica?

" You know it. " I confirm and hang up.
