Better than feeling lonely

Two Years Ago...

All that Catalina Santos ever wanted was someone to love her, someone that would do anything for her. Growing up without someone caring about her was extremely hard, even harder than most would think. The only thing she had was being a vampire and she hoped that one day that would mean more than just a title.

"So, if I go into the sun without this super ugly and tacky ring, i'm  going to burn?" the Santos woman questioned.

"Yup, pretty much." the man that had turned her nodded his head, his name was Stefan and he was traveling with Klaus, Cat didn't exactly know why.

"Where's the British guy?" Catalina asked as she approached the window.

"Out." The Salvatore replied, not really wanting to be bothered with explaining a million more questions, he had other things on his mind.

"Someone's a little grumpy." Cat said mockingly as she removed her ring slowly off her finger.

"I'm not grumpy, I just don't want to be here." Stefan shrugged his shoulders, his eyes pointing to the ceiling.

"So, what would you rather be doing?" the Santos girl slowly extended her hand, putting it in front of the area where the sun was shining through the window.

She liked how it felt oddly enough, it made her feel more alive than she had ever been.

"I'm hungry." The Salvatore man snatched her hand away from the window and slid her daylight ring back on her finger.

"So, why don't you go eat someone?" Cat questioned, more for herself because she was also hungry, all while the other vampire was growing increasingly annoyed by all her pestering.

"Klaus compelled me not to leave, just like he compelled you to do whatever is best for him, and what's best for him is staying put." Stefan sighed angrily, frustrated with the situation.

"Fine." Catalina pulled her hair back and left her neck exposed to the vampire. "Have at it."

"What?" the Salvatore man furrowed his brows, looking back and forth between her face and neck.

"I said have at it, are you deaf?" The Santos woman questioned. She was extremely bored at that moment and she thought Stefan was attractive enough to do just about anything to her, so this was an easy offer.

The Salvatore didn't respond, the veins under his eyes started to appear as his fangs came straight out of his gums and she knew he was accepting her offer. Catalina wasn't scared, it was something she had seen for the few days she had spent with both Stefan and Klaus, and she had also seen it on herself.

He quickly sped over and after a few seconds, his teeth were plunging into her neck. The feeling Cat got was different from anything she had every experienced before, she was starting to notice how addicted she was to pain. Him feeding from her was just the right mix of that pain, and euphoria.

Ultimately, it was because if she felt pain at least she was feeling something.

"I would say that's enough.." Catalina said as she pushed Stefan back, she didn't want him to think she was crazy for enjoying what was happening, and she also didn't want to loose absolutely all her blood.

"Thanks." the Salvatore man replied awkwardly, then a weird silence filled the room making them both just stare at each other for a few seconds.

They both wanted more from each other but, just couldn't form the words to say it.

"Can we-" the Santos woman didn't finish her sentence before Stefan gave her exactly what she was about to ask for.

He pressed his lips against hers, and her heart started to beat at a million miles a minute, but, that feeling was what would be her downfall because it meant that she was more loyal to Klaus than Stefan. It would mean her memory getting erased and her being alone for another two years.

In the present...

CAT'S EYES WERE HEAVY BUT SHE WAS STILL slowly but surely opening them up. She groaned slightly, and put her hand over her forehead not wanting to be awake yet, or in her dramatic opinion in that moment, ever. Even as a vampire, sleep was her absolute prized possession, and she needed plenty of it to stay in a good mood.

"Wake up sleepy head." a voice said from above her, the woman having been asleep all day because of  a mini party she had the night before with Damon and Bonnie.

They all drank way, way too much.

"I don't want any pancakes, Damon." The Santos woman groaned as she turned away and put a pillow over her head.

"It's been so long since you've seen me you think i'm that guy?" the voice replied, making Cat realize who it was.

Kai.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She sat up quickly looking around to make sure the coast was clear.

"Don't worry, I put a temporary sleeping spell on them to make sure I have you all to myself today, you're welcome." Kai smiled mischievously at the Santos woman.

"Seriously? A sleeping spell? What are you Merlin?" Catalina scoffed and stepped out of bed. "I'm still pissed at you so i'm not going anywhere."

"Nice underwear." the Parker man commented as he glanced downward.

"Thanks, I wore them for my roommates , a.k.a not you." Cat spoke, trying to make the witch angry.

"You are really dragging this angry thing out? I thought we were done with it." the Parker man shrugged his shoulders. "Guess I won't wake your friends up until you agree to come."

"Seriously!?" Catalina glared and pointed at Kai. "How are you the most immature human being I have ever met?"

"I guess that's what happens when you are alone for decades and the first person you meet is...you." The Parker man laughed slightly. "I like when you're angry."

"I hate you, I hate you so much that I could scream." Car groaned, frustrated by the fact that Kai was so annoying but also because she just wanted to kiss him more than anything.

"That's not really anything new." The Parker man got up and started to rifle through Catalina's drawers. "Can you please get dressed now?"

"Who said I was going anywhere with you? I am not by the way." The Santos woman said as she walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

"I said you were going somewhere, I am also prepared to use blackmail, nothing is below me, except your little boyfriend Damon." Kai said, scoffing at the name of the Salvatore man.

"First of  all." Cat put toothpaste on her toothbrush and sighed. "He's not my boyfriend, that is really really gross."

"You sure act like that whenever he's making you breakfast and pouring you drinks." Kai rolled his eyes as he slammed her drawer shut.

"It's called strategy, try it sometimes the best of us villains love it." The Santos woman started to brush her teeth as the Parker witch continued to talk.

"Do you really have to act like you are in love with him? Nobody picks out someones outfit and gels someone else's hair unless they love them." The Parker boy furrowed his brows and sat on the floor. "You two make me want to throw up."

Catalina spit out the toothpaste from her mouth and started to rise the brush.

"Jealousy is not cute on you." She joked before putting her toothbrush down.

"Please, I am always cute." Kai scoffed as Cat walked back into the room.

"Like I said, i'm not waking them up until you agree to come with me without asking any questions, at all, whatsoever." the Parker man crossed his arms and looked at Catalina who was standing over him.

"Fine." The Santos woman rolled her eyes. "I'll go."

This would probably be a mistake.
