There have been a lot of strange things happening lately here in Rosewood Falls, and some residents have slowly come to realize that maybe they aren't so unrelated. The slow arrivals of newcomers to town over the last few months have raised a few ey...

Katherine Pierce sat at the back of the grill, tapping her fingers nervously across the hard wood of the table. She had already taken the precaution of compelling almost everyone she could possibly get her hands on in the restaurant to make them forget they saw her, or Ezra, who should have been arriving any second now. Yes, it was Elena and Ezra's usual meet up spot for date night, thanks to Elena's doting friend Matt Donovan, but Katherine wasn't taking any chances in case this stunt she was pulling didn't go perfectly as planned. But, of course, it was going to, she was Katherine Pierce, after all.
Her smile lit up in a beam as she saw the handsome brunette man strolling through the grill, his smile almost equal to her own. Well, this innocent act wasn't actually that difficult to play around him after all, it was almost as if it came naturally. There was a certain feeling and attraction she had to Ezra unlike any she'd quite ever experienced before. The way his hair just fell perfectly across his brow, the butterflies in her stomach, and not to mention the slightly tingly, nervous feeling she hardly tried to combat when she was near him. It was like her feelings for the Salvatore brothers on steroids, and just like a drug, she couldn't get enough of it.
"Wow." Ezra stopped for a second to look who he thought was Elena up and down. "Can I just take a second to say how absolutely stunning you look tonight? Seriously, Elena, you've outdone yourself." He gave her his usual giant hug, kissing her on the forehead.
Katherine couldn't help but smirk at his words. She was prettier than Elena after all. "You really think so? This old thing?" She twirled in front of him as he let her go, trying to put on her best Elena impression, something she had gotten quite good at by now. "Well, you're not too bad yourself." She nudged him as she picked up a dart off the nearby board. "So, you ready for a challenge."
"Okay but watch out,"Ezra playfully nudged her back, grabbing a dart to join in the game. "Because you might not know this, but by some standards, I am a darts champion."
"Oh wow! Well, I didn't realize I was in the presence of a gold medalist." Katherine teased, giving him a wink, trying to ease in just a touch of her own personality without overwhelming him. After all, who was Katherine Pierce without a little sass?_________________________________________________

Vivian rolled her eyes with complete and utter boredom as she threw herself onto the couch. "Rebekah, I have to do something, please." She muttered from under her breath as she sighed and sunk further into the cushions. "I'm about to waste away from boredom. Isn't there any fun to be had in this town? Come on, let's go cause some trouble, like the old days."
"I've told you this a million times, Vivian." Rebekah replied sweetly to her friend, though her words were bitter. "We have to wait for Niklaus. He is our key to the cure at this point since only this -A person or whoever knows the location. We use him, and that bratty Katherine girl, and we're golden." She relaxed herself in the nearby armchair, narrowing her eyes in disinterest at her nails, inspecting for any chips.
"It's a good thing that Katherine is along with his plan. She shouldn't be too hard to manipulate. I met her once in Miami, she's a silly little thing." Vivian scoffed. "So you're positive Elijah isn't here this afternoon? I haven't quite prepared my perfect entrance for him yet. It's just got to be devastating."
"No, my ever constant brother is over at his little new girlfriend's place, I think." But the words had hardly left her mouth before Rebekah wanted to kick herself. She had sworn she wasn't going to mention that little detail to Vivian.
"What, Elijah has a girlfriend now? How quaint." Vivian spat, making the word sound like something far worse. "I suppose he spent too many centuries pining for his lost love that he finally got bored with the whole ordeal?!" Her words rose with anger lacing her tone of voice. "Well, I guess we'll just have to work them into our plan somehow, now won't we? Maybe it is time I paid them a little visit. I am quite desperate for fun after all, and that might just fit the bill perfectly."

"I just can't wait Elena." Ezra began with a sigh, staring into her eyes with a half smile. He and Elena, or actually Katherine, had finished their game, and sat side by side on a bench nearby. "Soon, we'll be out of here," He wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer to him, "And you can go off to college wherever you want, because you'll get in of course, and I'll follow you wherever you choose, and we can finally be together."
Katherine nodded, getting lost in his sweet, simple words and his puppy-like brown eyes, and just for a second, she forgot who she was. That was the life she wanted, the dream she had, and there was no way in hell Elena Gilbert was taking that away from her. And then, Ezra leaned in and kissed her.
It was the perfect kiss. Just a sweet, simple kiss. His lips were so soft, and so much warmer than a vampire's, and just so filled with a love for her that she couldn't help but lean into him. For just a few minutes, she was no longer her cold, calculating, vampire self, she was just a girl, falling hopelessly and desperately in love with this man.
