Kol POV

I saw the doppleganger dancing with the older Salvatore, Damon. I was dancing with some random girl, so I moved towards her and Damon and sure enough when he spinned her I caught her and started dancing and heard her heart beating faster with fear and I saw Klaus and Elijah shooting me warning glances and that was it. It was time to have some fun with her.

"I believe we haven't met yet, I'm Kol Mikealson and you must be the lovely Elena". I drawled out her name and sure enough her heart started beating faster if that was even possible. But she didn't let it show when she spoke though.

"It's nice to meet you Kol".

"It's nice to meet you too, it seems like you're busy with the Salvatore brothers. Tell me, which one is better?" I asked to irritate her.

"It's none of your business Kol".

"Now see thats just rude. Don't women in this century have manners?" I asked her.

"Look I have a lot on my plate right now, so just leave me alone"

Hmm...but before I could say anything she was in the arms of the younger Salvatore and in my arms was the blonde Nick was dancing with a few moments ago, Caroline.

"Don't even think of hurting Elena, she has gone through a lot because of your siblings, especially Klaus". She said and as soon as I was about to ask what she meant by it, she walked away. What was it the impolitness of women in this century?

Well looks like its time to do some digging about the doppleganger and who better to ask than Caroline. I went behind the blonde and as soon as she was alone compelled her to tell me all about Elena. I found out about the death of her parents, both adoptive and biological, and about her aunt and a lot more and if my humamity was turned on I would've cared, but it wasn't so I didn't.

K&E

I saw Elena coming down the stairs and talking to Elijah, when Mother raised a toast to us coming together as a family, I scoffed inwardly. As soon as I was about to drink the champaingne I felt someone catch my hand. I turned around to see who had the guts to do this and found myself looking into the eyes of the doppleganger.

She came towards me and stopped when she was inches from me, so close that someone would have difficulty to bring a paper between us, and, as she spoke her lips brushed against mine. I was sure that if I were a human my heart would have skipped a beat.

"Don't drink the champaigne, I'll explain later, just don't drink it". She said and I wondered if I should listen to her and so pretended to drink the champaigne and allowed her to lead me outside. I saw Damon Salvatore scowling from the corner of my eyes, and I smirked, enjoying his displeasure.

As soon as we got outside in the garden, she took a deep breath to steady her heart.

"The champaingne had my blood in it". I opened my mouth to question her when she continued "no let me speak and then ask whatever you want to. Esther told me she would kill Klaus and needed my blood for it, but after I gave her my blood she told me she was going to link you all together and turn you all human again. And even though I think Klaus deserves to die, I don't think any of your siblings or you do".

"And why would you do that?" I asked really surprised.

" Because, Elijah is a man of honour and he always keeps his word. He made the deal with me and tried to save me by giving me the elixr and even though he broke his word by fleeing with Klaus, he did it so he could undagger you and your siblings. He did it for family and I understand that. Finn was in a coffin for 900 years, he dosen't have to die for something that Klaus did and Rebekah, she only tried to kill me because I stabbed her in the back, which is something I'm not proud of and whatever she does, its for her family". At this point she took a deep breathe before continuing.

"And you, I see something in your eyes, mischief, a little madness, but mostly, I see pain and no one should go through that not even a 1000 year old Original. That dosen't mean I support the fact that you use humans as blood bags, but I know you've gone through a lot. But, as much as I hate to say it, if I had gone through all the things you have gone through in a thousand years, I'd be doing the same thing".

And again without giving me a chance to speak she walked out and I felt...ashamed of myself. If an 18 year old weak, defenseless human can face so much, then so can I.

Without waiting for a moment, I did something I hadn't done in a 1000 years; I reached the back of my head and turned on my humanity.

I know Kol is a little OOC, but I had to write it. I'll continue this if I get enough reviews.
