You can and hide, but you can't escape my love

I do not own The Vampire Diaries in any way.

A year ago, if anyone had told me there were such things as vampires, I would've laughed in their face and then called the men in white jackets to take them away.

I came to Mystic Falls in search of my estranged father, Zach Salvatore, only to find out that he was killed by my Great Uncle Damon, who was a vampire.

My life went downhill from there.

"Get up Princess", Damon said pushing me out of bed.

"Get out before I stake you", I said.

"But if you stake me, you won't get to go to the party tonight", Damon said.

"Party?!" I said excitedly.

"Yeah. Elena is taking you dress shopping so get up", Damon said.

I got up and got ready. I went downstairs to find Elena and Damon.

Damon handed me a thermal of coffee.

"Thank you! You're an angel", I said.

"Far from it love", Damon said.

Elena chose a beautiful black and gold. I chose a tea length emerald green dress.

"It's a ball. You can't wear that", Damon said.

"The hell I can't", I said, "I'm wearing it". I stormed to my room to get ready.

Damon and Stefan were both escorting me and Elena.

As the ceremony began, my eyes caught the boy standing above Elijah.

In a way, he was a mini-Elijah, with the way they looked.

*Kol's Pov*

As I stood bored on the staircase listening to my brother go on and on, my eyes scanned the crowd and fell on a young girl standing by Damon Salvatore.

She was in a knee length emerald green dress.

Out of everyone in the room, she caught my interest.

As I left to go talk to her, Elijah caught my arm. "Stay away from her Kol", Elijah warned, "She's a Salvatore".

"All the more reason to try and court her", I said.

"I'm serious", Elijah said.

"As am I", I said.

Elijah let go me and I approached her. "Damon", I said politely, "I would like to dance with…"

"Elenore", she said, "But you can call me Ellie".

"Ellie", I said. I kissed her hand and said, "I am Kol Mikaelson. Would you like to dance with me?"

"I would love to dance with you", she said. Ellie and I swayed slowly back and forth. "So…you're an Original. That must be so cool", she said.

"Most people wouldn't say that", I told her.

"Why not? You get to see the world. Watch it change and develop", she said.

"You are wise beyond your years", I told her.

"You have to be when your whole family is dead/undead", she said.

"I am sorry you have had to go thru all this", I said.

"You're sweet Kol. I wish everyone else could see that", she said.

I leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

*Ellie's Pov*

Me and Kol's secret relationship went on until he was forced to leave to go to Denver.

I was in my room, brushing my hair, when I heard a knock at my window. I opened the window and heard, "Let me in".

"Kol? Get out of here. Elijah is going to kill you", I told him, "Plus, if Damon and Stefan find out".

"Invite me in", he said. "Kol Mikaelson, I hereby invite you in", I said playfully.

He climbed in thru the window. He took my face in his hands and said, "Nobody will keep me from you. You can run and you can hide, but you'll never escape, my love". He leaned down and kissed me. "I must go. I do not know when I shall return", he said.

"I pray it will be soon", I told him.

He took a ring out of his pocket and put it on my finger. "It is a day-light ring. I had it spelled for you. Please keep it as a reminder of me. Should anything happen, don't take it off", Kol said, "I love you Elenore Salvatore".

"And I love you Kol Mikaelson", I told him.

He leaned down and kissed me once more before he walked over to the window and disappeared.
