Hello, so I'm back with the sequel to A simple complication, I hope you like it, unlike the sequel that was set in the 1200's this follows the show up from season three, episode 14ish. This first chapter is short but it is to start the sequel off and I can assure you the second chapter is already double this length. So enjoy…
Happy endings
Just what did you do, If you're a dream then come true
Stop pretending
That what you mean isn't what you say
Hopeful dreaming,
Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same
Loving, leaving
Round and round and round we go again
-All American Rejects
Chapter 1 – 'I'm not going to replace her'
Esme poured lighter fluid over her feast and set it alight. So maybe this time she had gone a little crazy on the kill number but twenty-three drunken teenagers wasn't her highest. She wiped her mouth watching as the bodies burnt. Normally she would of hated vampires, like she had become, cold killers but that was it. She didn't feel the disgust in herself, the hatred, the self loathe of killing the innocent. She has done what she promised to never do, turn it off. And it felt so much better. She tried, when she came to accept Kol had left her, she tried to keep them on, to get over it. but she was sick of crying over them, she was sick of the pathetic person she had become, drinking so much every night to forget, crying herself to sleep each night.
She blamed the person she had become on Kol Mikaelsen, the love of her life, the person to have inflicted the worst pain she had ever felt. She remembered the day he left, almost a hundred years ago.
"Why do you have to go, just tell Klaus you're busy" Esme whined, wrapping her arms around the back of Kol, he sat on the edge of the bed tying up his shoes.
"You know as well as I it is best not to anger Klaus" Kol stood up pulling Esme with him, who was only in one of his shirts. She stood on her tip toes to kiss him, wrapping her arms around his neck, whilst he put his hands on her waist.
"You're making this so hard to leave" he whispered in her ear.
"Then don't" Esme replied, he chuckled and gave her one last kiss, before grabbing his small duffle bag.
"I will be back in a week, I promise. I love you."
"Love you too."
She didn't suspect a thing; a week had gone by, two weeks. She called him countless of times and didn't get a hold of him. She got a hold of Klaus just after 4 weeks.
"Where is he Klaus?" Esme growled down the phone.
"Where is who?" Klaus asked, his voice sounded confused but Esme could still detect a hint of humour in it.
"Kol."
"I thought he would of told you, that's my younger brother for you love, too cowardly to tell you himself. He's decided to stay here with me Esme. I think you should just forget about him because the way he has been acting he has definitely forgotten about you."
"I don't believe, Kol wouldn't do that, he loves me" Esme said but her voice broke and was laced with doubt.
"Sorry love, gotta run. I'll tell Kol you said Hi."
Esme's phone started ringing, looking at caller Id she saw Katherine's name.
"What do you want?"
"Always so welcoming Esme" Katherine sarcastically.
"Don't push your luck Katherine."
"I just so happen to have some inside information about the whereabouts of Kol" Katherine replied.
"Carry on" Esme said now intrigued.
"Well I know that he is back in Mystic Falls with Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, Finn and Ester. The whole original clan bar Mikael but he's dead" Katherine said smugly.
"What, how is Ester even alive?" Esme asked confused.
"My guess is on witches."
"Why are they there?"
"Well Klaus is there because the doppelganger is there, long story short: he broke his curse, she didn't die but it worked out better for him anyway as she is the key to creating his little hybrid pets" Katherine explained.
"Great so now he is like indestructible, just fucking perfect "Esme hissed, referring to Klaus, she hung up on Katherine pissed off.
Esme threw he clothes into a suitcase and in the space of ten minutes was on her way to Mystic Falls. She hadn't been to Mystic Falls since her and Kol had run away together.

Esme had arrived in Mystic Falls and had found her way to a place called the Mystic Grill. She finished her beer, spotting the doppelganger and a blond vampire. Esme made her way over to the two.
"You're Elena Gilbert?" Esme asked, the doppelganger nodded unsure, where the blonde vampire moved in front of her in a protective stance.
"Who are you?" Elena asked her.
"My name is Esme, I know this is going to sound crazy and you won't trust me, with me being a vampire and all but I want to help you. I heard you've been having a little trouble with the originals and it just so happens I have my own axe to grind with them. I'm so much older than any vampire you have helping you, quite honestly you can do with my help" Esme rambled on, trying to seem as nice as she could to the doppelganger.
"I'm not really sure how to answer that" Elena replied, Esme giggled.
"Sorry I can be pretty forward but I don't mean any harm to you or your friends. Why don't we get a drink and talk?" Esme suggested, keeping up her nice act.
"You look familiar, what's your name?" Esme asked the blonde vampire.
"Caroline Forbes "Esme's face paled slightly, she was a descendant of Trent.
"So how old are you?" Elena asked.
"I was born in 1260 but I was turned in 1278, when I was 18."
"Damon and Stefan Salvatore" Esme whispered catching the eye of the two vampires who just entered the Grill, she looked between them and Elena and rolled her eyes. Of course the doppelganger had attracted them, it was almost inevitable.
"How do you know Damon and Stefan?" Caroline asked.
"I travelled with Katherine for a little while, it just so happened to be in her Salvatore period" Esme said.
"Esme?" Stefan looked surprised as did Damon.
"Hey" Esme hugged both brothers, she actually didn't have a bad friendship with the Salvatore's back in 1864.
They had all been talking for a while now and Esme had slowly begun to not have to put up the happy, good person act. She was actually enjoying herself with them.
"So what do you say, can I help?" Esme asked.
"Yeah I'd like that, we probably need all the help we can get" Elena said.
"I'll see you all tomorrow, oh and Damon and Stefan I'm staying at the boarding house" Esme winked at them and left before the brothers could protest.

Kol moped around Klaus's new big house thinking about Esme. He never got back to her. Klaus had daggered him when he had tried to leave. He wondered what had happened to her, what she was up to now. If she had moved on from him and forgot about him, he wouldn't be surprised if she did. He missed her so much. He would find her, when he can get out of his house and his mother's act of wanting everyone to be a family again he would search for her. If she was happy he would leave her alone to live her life as she had been without him but if she wasn't her would beg for her on his hands and knees. Try and make her understand, heck he would do that even if she was happy, he couldn't live without her forever. He wondered if she ever looked for him. Surely she was upset when she realised he wasn't coming back. She probably thought he had just left her.
"What are you thinking about brother?" Klaus asked.
"Esme" Kol replied staring off into the fire. "Did you get in contact with her? Do you know what happened to her?" Kol asked him.
"No, I've never heard anything from her or about her" Klaus replied lying.
"Oh."
"You should forget her now Kol, it's a new beginning for all of us, find a new girl for yourself" Klaus suggested.
"I'm not going to replace her" Kol hissed.

"Esme wait" Esme was almost out the drive when Klaus called after her.
"Klaus don't you have anything better to do, go find Caroline or something" Esme told him.
"I don't want Caroline, there is someone else I have my eyes on" he told her, Esme raised an eyebrow at him.
"Oh really?"
