We land at the tiny airfield just a couple miles from the beloved Mystic Falls. The thing about small towns... they hardly ever have their own airports. We quickly grab our bag and we head for the exit. It's fairly easy to get out and I soon as we do we are met by Damon and Elena. She squeals as she runs over to me and embraces me in a hug.
"For a person, I've tried to kill multiple times, you sure are happy to see me." I joke
She laughs and slaps me on the shoulder. "Well, we ARE related. I kind of have to be happy." She jokes back
Damon looks down at the seven bags we have. "I figured we might be here a while so I bought extra stuff." I shrug my shoulders
"What's extra exactly?" He asks
"A couple bags for clothes, a couple for shoes, and this mini bag for makeup. Only one is Silas's."
"Men." Elena laughs
"That only makes up six, what's in the seventh?" He asks curiously
"That my sweet Damon, is for me to know and for you to 'dot, dot, dot'" I laugh
"Okay, security guard is coming. We should go." Silas says
We load everything into the car and in just about twenty minutes we make it to the Salvatore Boarding House. We decide to level our bags in the car for now so we can just settle down first. The first thing I see when I walk in is Stefan and Qetsiyah cuddling on the couch. When they hear the door close they hop up quickly.
"Oh, you guys are back already." Stefan says shocked
"Stef, the airport is only a couple miles away. How long did you think it was gonna take?" Damon asks
"I thought you guys would have gotten something to eat... or something." He clears his throat
"Hello Stefan, Qetsiyah. Guys..." I look over to Damon and Elena "... I think I'll go get my bags right now." I fake smile at Stefan and Qetsiyah
The sudden urge of anger courses through me as I make my way outside.
Silas follows me outside and places his hand in mine and squeezes. "We just have to ignore them."
"I'm happy for Stefan but... Qetsiyah-" I stop my sentence
"I'm guessing those emotions of yours are very heightened right now." He smiles
"Like you said... we just have to ignore them." I lean in and place a light kiss on his lips
The two of us carry all of the bags in we place them by the door. I look over to Damon and Elena and smile.
"Same room as always?" I ask
Damon nods his head as he grabs a bag and starts going upstairs. We follow and boy do I now regret bringing all this stuff.
"I totally forgot I already had clothes here." I laugh as Silas places the most important bag on the bed
I unzip the bag and open it and Damon's face is immediately covered in surprise.
"You wanted to know what was in the bag, correct? For the past couple months I've gathered a couple grimoires." I smile at my obvious accomplishment
"Hey, Damon- Holy crap... that a lot of grimoires." Elena exclaims as soon as she comes in the room
"Even though my father thought magic was the devils work... I found a couple of these books hidden in the floor of my sister's room. The rest I've been collecting over these past few months." I explain again
"This isn't traveler magic, is it?" She questions
"No, I'm assuming since the downfall of the traveler's curse we are free to use the magic that was once theirs. I can also consume that my little sister wanted to do regular magic to prove to our father that it's not all evil." I scoff at my sisters stupidity
"What was your sisters like?" Elena asks
"My sister, Kaysha, died of cholera when we were 14. Katya became my father's pride and joy after I gave birth to Nadia."
"Wait... Kaysha died when BOTH of you were fourteen?" Elena's confused 'that's reasonable'
"Kaysha was my twin sister, I don't talk about her much. I'm glad she died when she did or she would have been killed by Klaus, something a lot more worse than what the cholera did to her."
I can feel tears building up and I quickly blink them away before anyone could notice. We are interrupted by a light knock at the door. I turn to see Stefan standing there, alone.
"Can we talk, Katherine?" He asks
I look around at everyone and smile at Silas. "Sure." I turn back to Stefan
Everyone quickly shuffles out the room, except for Silas. He looks at Stefan for a solid five seconds before he turns towards me and kisses me, passionately. 'Showing off I see' I think.
"I sure am." Silas whispers into my ear
He smiles and winks at me before he leaves the room. Stefan stands silent for a good minute before he says anything.
"How are you doing?"
"I'm fine. What did you want to talk about?" I answer kind of rudely
"It's no secret that Qetsiyah and I are back together and that it might be weird for you-"
I cut him off and give him my peace. "Might? Weird? Those two words don't even begin to describe this situation. But I said I was happy for you and I meant it so I'll let you two do your thing." I turn away from him
"Katherine... I just want to say-"
"You don't have to say anything Stefan, hopefully this problem keeps me as far away from you and Qetsiyah as I can get. I would like to finish unpacking now."
I don't turn to him as I focus on his breath. Steady but heavy at the same time. I don't want to be rude but I don't think I'm ready yet to fully accept his relationship. After another silent minute he finally leaves the room and seconds later Silas pops in.
"Hey, you okay?"
Before I turn around I swipe the tear from my face and put on a smile. I turn to look at him and he returns the favor.
"I'm good. We should unpack and then meet Damon and Elena downstairs. We have some things to discuss."
"Okay, but there is something I would like to do first." He smirks
Ooh, I know what that means. I walk closer to him and run my finger down his chest. "And what is that?"
He looks me into my eyes with that same smirk before it slowly goes away.
"Take a shower. What did you think?" He winks
I playfully slap him on his arm and call him a jackass. He walks towards the bathroom and I can't help but laugh at him. Before he enters he turns back to me.
"Well are you coming or not?"
"Hell yeah." I say before I make my way over there
He picks me up and I giggle as he closes the door.
