Who: Katherine & Stefan What: Katherine knows what Stefan's been up to and she's not happy about it When: Tonight Where: The woods Warnings: Vampire on vampire violence.
Katherine was very unhappy with the state of things in Everett. Normally this would be around the time a girl packed up her favorite boots and hit the road. She wasn't one to stick around and watch the fall out. No, Katherine had been running for five hundred years and she had finally stopped. She was tired of running and didn't want to pick the habit back up again for Dick Roman. That didn't mean she wouldn't if she had to. There was always a plan B, always an escape route. If she was sure that Everett was all lost she would go and spend the rest of her days trying to stay a step ahead of Dick Roman.
She didn't want to run. She had made a name for herself here, she had a successful business and there was little doubt in her mind that many could still afford to live such an opulent lifestyle. How ironic that Klaus would finally give her her freedom just in time for Dick Roman to try and take it away. For the first time in her life, Katherine was really sick of dick.
To make matters worse, Stefan was being an idiot. Katherine knew the whole operation had scam written all over it. So many pretty people on that council but not two brain cells to rub together between them all. Lucky for them Katherine knew what was going on with Stefan Salvatore. She was like the little fallen angel over their shoulder, looking out for them. Imagine that.
Dick Roman would never have let Spencer and that feisty little redhead run off with Stefan. Stefan, who of course was completely unharmed. What was the point in taking him and releasing him like that? Was everyone really too sidetracked to not see that writing on the wall? Ripper was making his come back whether he wanted to or not. He was a sleeping predator living among the lambs. It was only a matter of time before he went fully off the rails. As if that wasn't bad enough he was choosing to feed off of the most seductive Judas in town. Faye Chamberlain had crossed a very stupid line and Stefan was getting himself mixed up with the wrong girl.
Which was why she was stalking him through the woods on his way to meet the little witchy vixen. Somebody had to redirect Stefan's drama in a harmless direction. She had a house full of prostitutes who would trade blood. Katherine was older and therefore stronger than Stefan. If he tried any of that shit with her girls, Katherine would kick his ass. Then when she was tired of kicking his ass she might let Elijah or Dante take a turn at it.
Katherine was there before Faye and Stefan was early as usual. For a moment all he would see was a deadly brunette emerging from the forest but only for a moment. His sharpened senses would kick in, he would see with his vampire eyes that he was meeting with Katherine and not Faye. In that moment, Katherine picked up the speed. She was a blur passing before she caught up to Stefan and shoved him up against the tree. She was pissed and it showed on her face.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she demanded.
