SS: Today was a fairytale...

Intro : -

Hello :) I wrote something on TVD.

All the characters are the same, i.e. the Salvatrore brothers, only I have introduced a character called "Lauren Petrova".

Basically, it's Damon but it's not Elena. If in another world, Katherine had a sister called Lauren, she'd be the "good twin". Here's something I wrote based on that fictitious character - she's "a Damon", because though she loves Damon… he loves Elena; and that one thing that bonds them?

Unrequited Love.

Enjoy! Let me know your thoughts Please 😊

This was it.

Her grand entry into Mystic Falls, for centuries she'd awaited this moment. When she'd return, the representative of the Petrova family. She wanted to be welcomed back in her town, by her people….she'd craved it ever since that fateful day when she had been forced to leave. To feel complete again… this was it.

Her dream was taking shape before her eyes.

….only it wasn't her dream.

Because she wasn't Katherine.

Glancing down nervously, she licked her lips, her eyes washing over the impatient crowd below, as they chatted eagerly amongst themselves, awaiting Katherine's big entrance.

There was only one left…

"You noticed?" Damon mumbled to Stefan.

"Oh yeah" came the response. Stefan paused as his eyes searched the empty staircase, his voice quieter, "What are we going to do?"

Damon frowned, a cynical look on his face. "What is there to do? WE can do nothing, Brother", he sighed deeply before adding, " Obviously, Katherine was going to run away…it's turning into her own little tradition", his voice dripped in sarcasm. He turned away, witnessing the growing excitement of the people around him, "She's probably at the other end of the earth by now, sat on a beach somewhere… making someone else's life a complete misery…"

As Damon's voice trailed off, a roar of cheers and applause broke out around him, just as he noticed a flash of blue in the corner of his eye. He diverted his attention towards the colour, "….leaving Lauren to face the Lion's den", he muttered as he gazed fixedly at her whilst she gradually ambled down the stairwell, step by step.

Her nervousness obvious from the way she held the bannister for support, her eyes lowered, her posture stiff…her expression hesitant, guilty as she half smiled….waiting for someone to call her bluff.

Buttoning up his suit jacket, he addressed Stefan, "Now if you'll excuse me".

"Wait, wha-?"

Damon halted in place, "Like I said, we can't do anything...I, however, am going for a dance" He turned, his eyebrows raised, a smirk on his face at Stefan gawked at him, exasperated, "…I've heard it helps calm the nerves".

Someone must have realised.

It was so obvious…..she wasn't Katherine, she could never be Katherine. In her head she'd repeated the words over and over to make it easier, believe in yourself. You need to be obnoxious, selfish, confident…you have to love yourself. More than anyone.

Actually, love yourself, alone. No one else mattered.

That was the key to becoming Katherine Petrova. That was the key to getting away with this facade she'd suddenly become a part of…

But telling herself and actually going through it had proven very difficult. Wasn't that the reason she'd taken so long in facing all these people who had come to see her sister in the first place. They wanted Katherine, they knew Katherine…they knew who she was and what she was capable of….

The delay itself would have been enough reason to become suspicious, Katherine would never take so long to live such a magnificent moment of her life, they would be able to tell in an instant how big, how bad a fraud she was….

Lauren swallowed as she gracefully lowered her right foot onto the last step, the only thought she was conscious of was that there was one more till she'd be at the bottom, facing the hall filled with guests….many of whom she, Lauren, was meeting for the first time. Then it would time for her next move….but that was it - what happened after-

She had to be careful - It wasn't her move to make.

….What would Katherine do?
