Katherine tapped her fingers against her thigh, staring out across the water of the canal. She had promised no secrets. Elijah was trusting her, and sitting here it was tearing her in two. She glanced down at the phone in her hand, the number on the screen so that all she had to do was press the call button. She had promised no secrets. Correction...Katerina had promised no secrets. She let out a breath, and closed her eyes.
"But Katherine didn't..." She finished the thought out loud. Shaking her head, she opened her eyes to look down at the phone. She let out another breath, and then pressed call. This was probably a really stupid idea, but she needed to call him. His brother was dead, and she wanted to hear his voice to see how he was handling it. The vindictive side of her wanted to throw it back into his face that she was alive. That he had failed.

Stefan's phone was non-stop for the last few hours, missed calls from Elena and Caroline. No doubt they were both wondering what had happened to Enzo, not that Stefan particularly cared what had happened to him. He had left him in the hands of some human hunter, and for all he knew Enzo was dead. Enzo was nothing more than a murderer, Ivy didn't deserve to die.
Cancelling another call from Caroline as he glanced at the screen as he could now see that he had six voice mails, 23 missed calls and 7 messages. Cancelling them all as he was not in the mood to speak to anyone right now. Twirling his new phone in his hands as he thanked the waitress who re-filled his empty cup with coffee. He tapped the screen and slid his finger along the screen to unlock it, tapping a few more icons he opened up the contacts screen and scrolled down until he saw his brother's name in the list.
Sighing as he tapped his brother's name as it began to call, hesitating for a moment he raised his phone to his ear "Can't answer the phone right now. Please leave your name and number so I know who I'm ignoring"
Ending the call, he repeated the process "Can't answer the phone right now. Please leave your name and number so I know who I'm ignoring". "Can't answer the phone right now. Please leave your name and number so I know who I'm ignoring".
Ending the last call he dropped his phone back onto the table as he ran his hand across his face and sighed. That was all that he had left of his brother, his number, a voice-mail message and memories. He had nothing solid to hold onto, in the back of his mind there was still hope. But Stefan couldn't allow it to consume him, with every lead taking him to a dead end.
Hearing his phone buzz again as an unknown number registered on the screen. Picking it up he was hesitant about answering it believing it to be either Elena or Caroline again using a different phone. Unlocking it he hit the answer button and raised it to his ear "Hello?" he frowned as he pondered who it was that was calling him.

Katherine was two seconds from hanging up as the call rang on and on. She shouldn't have been surprised that Stefan wouldn't answer his phone from a number he didn't know. She straightened when he answered, and swallowed. A smile curved her lips after a moment, and she leaned back against the bench she was sitting on.
"Stefan?" She said, keeping her voice light and cheery to match Elena's. Even after this time, it was still oh so very easy to mimic her dreary doppelganger. She could tell by his tone that he was exasperated, and hurting. Good. He should be.

Stefan heard a pause after he had answered the call as he could hear a breath being taken as he frowned again "Hello?" he repeated. Shifting in his seat as his fingers drummed along the table, his eyes locking onto the ripples in his fresh hot coffee.
Hearing Elena's voice, he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He should have known that it would be Elena calling him, truth be told he expected it to be Caroline calling to find out what he had done to Enzo.
He couldn't and wouldn't ask Caroline for forgiveness as he didn't deserve it. After this he was leaving and going home to start again. Without any contact from anyone from Mystic Falls, he was going to leave everyone behind "Listen, Elena. I don't know where Enzo is and I couldn't care where he is. So can you tell Caroline to stop calling" he asked ending with a frustrated sigh.
He was lying through his teeth, he did know what happened to Enzo. But he didn't want Elena to know the truth, her guilt trip to tell Caroline where he was would start.

Katherine smirked, leaning forward to place her chin in her hand. The irritation in his voice led her to believe that little miss Elena had been bugging him as well as Caroline. Poor, little Stefan. She chuckled, crossing her legs at the knee.
"To be honest, Stefan? I could really care less what Enzo...or Caroline...or Elena wants." She tapped her fingers against her lips, and grinned.

His daylight ring tapped against the rim of his coffee cup as he raised it to his lips to sip on the warm liquid. Returning it to the saucer as he slumped back in the booth, his head rolled back to rest on the top. Her voice, she sounded different. His suspicions were confirmed when she spoke her name and the way that she said it. That instantly had his attention "...Katherine?" he whispered.
Sitting himself up straight as he leaned forward on his forearms as he cast a quick glance around the diner only to see two other customers, both of who were pre-occupied as they flirted with the same waitress "Katherine..." he repeated again.
How was this possible? She was dead. He had stabbed her with the Traveller knife and Bonnie had told them that when she tried to pass through her something else had taken her into the darkness.

Katherine's grin widened, and she stood up to begin walking along the sidewalk that ran along the canal. Crossing her arm over her chest, she walked with a little pep in her step as her name slipped over his lips not once, or twice. Elijah would kill her and Stefan if he ever found out, but it would be on secret she would take to her grave.
"Surprised?" She asked. "Come on Stefan, did you honestly think that I didn't have a plan B? Or a plan C...well you get the point." She smirked, repeating the same words she had told Damon years before. She paused.
"How's Damon?" She gasped softly. "Oh wait...he's dead."

Stefan balanced his phone on his shoulder as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a few dollars and left them on the table as he slid out of the booth and headed straight for the exit. Standing out in the parking lot he glanced around to see if this was some sort of trick. His breath had become harsh and ragged as he could feel rage brewing up inside of him. "Where are you!" he snapped at her, his teeth clenched together creating a whistling hiss.
He stormed across the parking lot towards his car as he turned and scanned the parking lot again, she had to be close. But hearing Damon's name pass her poisonous lips made him want to scream "Leave him out of this!" he snared down the phone.
Stefan could hear the taunt in her voice and it made his skin crawl, he once believed that Katherine could be saved. That a part of him wanted to help her end her pain, giving her the vision of what she wanted. It made him sick to his stomach now to even think that he wanted to help her.
"So Katherine, you found a way out of hell. Who did you have to kill this time?" he mocked her, his teeth gritting together in anger.

Katherine could hear the noises in the background, heard the scraping of a chair against the floor, the ding of a bell as he left what she could guess was a little diner. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth, and chuckled.
"Let me guess? Right about now you're scanning your surroundings trying to find little ole me. Don't waste your time. I'm not there."
The glee that she felt from the rage that he showed her at the mention of Damon's name was almost sickening, or at least it would have been to a normal person. She turned around to walk back down the sidewalk.

She had to be close by. Why else would she call if she wasn't close by enough to taunt him over his brother's death. Her sickening words made his blood boil, blood pooled in his mouth as he caught the side of his tongue as they bit down. "So what? You call up to tell me that your alive? That you think I would care?" he exclaimed.
Turning around to rest his arms on the roof of his car, his hand slamming down on the roof as he dented it. Crap! He would deal with that later. Lowering his head down to face the ground as he let out another frustrated sigh.
"A distraction? A distraction to who Katherine?" he grumbled down the phone "How do you do it? How do you keep coming back?" he asked, his voice in a more softer pained tone.

Katherine's grin fell from her face, her expression contorting into anger. She leaned against the fence that separated the walkway from the actual canal. She raised a brow, wrapping her hand around the railing until it hurt.
"You think you I care if you care?" She hissed. She let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. "I called because I wanted to hear your voice when you found out that you failed. That I'm alive...and your dear brother is dead."
She licked her lips, and then smiled again. "I've moved on from you, Stefan. To bigger fish in the ocean...bigger, better, and a hell of a lot more stylish."

Stefan couldn't believe what he was hearing. He still couldn't believe it, Katherine Pierce was alive somehow, Bonnie swore to them that she had been pulled into the darkness. Did she find a way to come back? If she was able to come back then there must be a way for Damon and Bonnie to come back "How did you do it?" he asked calmly.
If Stefan even had the slightest chance of getting Katherine to reveal how she returned from the dead. He needed to play a different strategy. Calming himself down as he let out a long and un-needed breath and ignored her last remark "So how did you do it Katherine? A witch? Satan? Mary Poppins?" he prodded her for more information.
He knew that it was a long shot, but he had to try and appeal to her better nature if she even had one.

Katherine licked her lips, tilting her head slightly at the way his tone changed. She smiled faintly, a mocking smile.
"Aw, trying to appeal to my better side, Stefan? Please...I have an original brother on my case every hour of the day doing the same thing. It isn't going to work. As for how I came back?"
She smirked. "Why don't you ask Enzo? After all he and I spent a day together a few months back. But...you don't know where he is so I guess you can't do that, can you?"
Post by Stefan Salvatore on Oct 23, 2014 15:53:32 GMT -6
An original brother? Elijah. That is the only original that Stefan could think of that would keep Katherine alive. He hardly believed that Klaus would keep Katherine alive, after 500 years of chasing her. Pinching the bridge of his nose as he felt that hope slowly slip away from him "Enzo?" he muttered to himself.
Enzo had not said a thing, not even a taunt about Katherine being back. He had no idea where Enzo was now, his only lead gone and no where to be found.
"Elijah knows doesn't he?" he asked himself whilst clear on the phone. He had to try, every trail had led him to a dead end. He had to try. "New Orleans" he whispered again to himself.
The only place that Stefan had not tried, he remembered the last time he and Damon had travelled to New Orleans, witches "Well tell Elijah that I shall see him soon" he assured her as he ended the call.

Katherine smirked. "Yeah...Enzo. So I guess you're screwed."
Her smirk fell, and she straightened as his words reached her ears. She swallowed, panic creeping through her. She shook her head. "Stefan, no. Don't he'll--"
The phone cut out as he hung up, and she let out a curse. She ran a hand through her hair, and pressed her hand against her forehead. She swallowed, then pulled up a text. Her fingers hovered over the letters. No more secrets.
"Damn it, Katerina," she growled to herself. She shook her head, and then tucked her phone into her bag. No. She'd tell him in person.
