Chapter 4: There were voices filling the light filled air, as the boy walked onward. From the vantage point a person passing-by would just see a dark-haired boy with several freckles sprinkled on his nose. They would guess his age, which would be around sixteen as that is indeed the age he has been stuck at for many years, now. The boy moved toward the prize of possesion...the light he was looking for. A voice arose behind him and he swiftly turned to see someone calling his name. He flung around and glared at the girl he saw. Adelaide Pierce had a pained expression plastered on her face, she was devastated によって something and shocked to see him all the same. They were cousins, as close as cousins get for the most part. He narrowed his eyes frowning at her. Behind her was the other cousin, the one who had called him here in the first place...Katherine.
"Hello, Skandar," she rolled his name on her toungue and he smirked at her fitting her vain gaze.
"Katherine, it's always a pleasure," he 発言しました sarcastically for good measure. He tilted his head and looked at the older girl's eyes. He was the only person, creature, thing...that would dare taunt Katherine Pierce. But Skandar could care less about anything to do with Katherine.
"You're still the same bastard," Katherine hissed angrily which made the boy erupt into laughter.
"And you're still the same skank. Likewise Kat." Adelaide was watching the two cousins flirt casually, but she knew they both hated each other and she was completely confused. But ever since she had returned to Mystic Falls, confusion was spinning and molding her mind. It was making her dizzy. She looked up to see both Skandar and Katherine giving equally strange stares. Her shoulders fell slightly as she tucked a brunette curl behind her ear and gave them each a weak smile. Katherine raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth to address her sister.
"So I suppose your wondering why I sent for him," Katherine nodded at Skandar, but keeping her dark eyes fixed on Adelaide's blue ones. Adelaide indicated yes with a slight nod of her head. "Well," Katherine continued. "This brat can surprisingly come of use to us. We need to capture Elena, but in order to do so we have to distract Damon. And me and あなた can do the whole distracting Damon thing... in the meanwhile Skandar will capture Stefan and Elena and bring them to me. Oh, yes I forgot to tell あなた Addie that Stefan was back. In any event..." Adelaide put up a hand to silence Katherine. Katherine's lip twisted, but she nodded Adelaide to continue.
"I know he is very powerful," Adelaide 発言しました glancing at Skandar. "Only he has to capture Elena and Stefan and Stefan won't back down without a fight. I'm sure Skandar can handle that, only he has to capture both the human and the vampire."
"I was getting to that," Katherine said. "Come now Addie, do あなた really think I'd make such a grave error. Skandar's got a partner for the job." At this both Skandar and Adelaide gave Katherine a look of confusion. Katherine grinned at the both of them. "You'll see."
...In the meanwhile...
Damon pressed his fist into the wall. Mystic Falls was changing, things were never going to be the same, he felt the tingle of an absent loss, but there was nothing he could do about it. He rested his head against the ウォール thinking. Lately his mind traveled unashamedly to Elena. The girl who reminded him so much of Katherine, yet who reminded him so little of his old love. He had enjoyed her company alone for the past couple of weeks, but now that Stefan was back all of her time was being spent with him. She was in ベッド with him, she was キス him, she was talking to him, she was comforting him, and hell knows what else. For Damon couldn't take the pain of watching the woman he was in 愛 with be with another man, particularly his brother. But he was strong wasn't he? And often he wondered how it had happened...how he had managed to fall in 愛 with Elena. He felt the surge of guilt and anger at himself wash over and there was nothing left for him to do. To his surprise Elena walked into the living room where he was. She frowned at him.
"Damon? Why are behaving so moody lately?" she asked, crossing her arms. "Something wrong?"
"Nah...other than the fact that Stefan's back," he muttered. Elena raised her eyebrows,
"Really Damon? Really?" He nodded, but he was surprised how well she was able to read him. He looked at her longingly for a スプリット, 分割 秒 and he wanted to ask her to キッス him. But then he felt stupid. You're fucking Damon Salvatore, stop longing for her. あなた don't love, he thought to himself. But though these thoughts made him feel better, they were all lies. Elena shrugged and walked out of the room. But that made Damon smile because she had come into the living room to check on him. It was all in good time...
...Elsewhere...
Skandar and Adelaide were sitting on the 草 waiting for Katherine to return with Skandar's mysterious "partner for the job." They heard Katherine approaching them and they looked up. She walked towards them, the sun illuminating her dark hair. Each of the ヴァンパイア glanced absentmindedly at the rings on their fingers. Adelaide looked up and turned to the pretty blonde girl walking behind Katherine.
"Who's that?" she asked, making Skandar look up and he gasped. What he was seeing couldn't be possible. The blonde girl came towards them, and took a double take when she saw Skandar. Adelaide was infuriated によって all the confusion so she turned to Katherine to explain. Katherine only smiled lightly. Skandar looked at Diana as she moved one of her blonde locks out of her face. The woman he was in 愛 with. The same girl who broke his ハート, 心 and made him what he was. A blood-sucking playboy.
"Di?" he asked as she came closer, tears filming over her eyes. She nodded and Skandar stared perplexed. All at once thousands of feelings gathered up in him. Gratitude and hatred towards Katherine for choosing Diana to help, 愛 and anger towards Diana for what she had done to him, and happiness that Adelaide was there just for the sake of him not being alone. Diana took a step towards, pity and apologies written all over her face. Skandar took a small step back and sighed. Realization began to dawn on Adelaide as she grasped for Katherine's arm. She needed to talk with her sister privately so she dragged her farther away from the two long ロスト lovers. As Adelaide left the scene with her sister, Skandar turned to face th blonde beauty once and for all. But he 発言しました nothing and just cupped her chin and kissed her. She kissed him back and he knew Katherine had made the right descision. Together, him and Di they would be able to capture Stefan and his little princess.
Adelaide turned to her sister as she knew they weren't in ear-shot.
"You sure we can trust her?" Adelaide asked, though she kind of felt guilty of asking it because she really wasn't going to let Katherine kill the woman Damon loved which would result in her betraying her sister. But somethings had to be done.
"Ofcourse, she's one of my closest friends. Met her once I was a vampire...that's how I learned all about her and our darling cousin," Katherine said. Adelaide nodded and the two sisters exchanged glances of understanding...or to some extent.
"Hello, Skandar," she rolled his name on her toungue and he smirked at her fitting her vain gaze.
"Katherine, it's always a pleasure," he 発言しました sarcastically for good measure. He tilted his head and looked at the older girl's eyes. He was the only person, creature, thing...that would dare taunt Katherine Pierce. But Skandar could care less about anything to do with Katherine.
