Chapter 1:
A/N: Bare with me this is my first ever Cruel Intentions fan fic, had this ideal for quiet sometime, first let me say what you saw on the movie, ever bit of it happened but, with a few twist, also for those who've watch CI 2 the pre sequel, it never existed, gonna write my own Kathryn/Sebastian history, cause quiet frankly I loath the 2nd movie, it was just boring and shouldn't be in the same sentence as the first.
Annette Hargrove ran as quick as her two feet would allow her into her bedroom, she was thrilled that Kathryn had gotten hers, but, a part of her was sadden that Sebastian wasn't there to see it.
"Sebastian where are you, you can come out now the coast is clear, daddy won't be home for a few more hours.", she told him, watching as her new boyfriend, Sebastian Valmont made his way out of her bedroom closet.
"How'd it go, was it as fun as I dreamed it would be? How did my dear step-sister take to her world being destroyed?", he stand before her smirking to himself.
"You know, Sebastian I had my doubts but, that was amazing - you are amazing.", Annette told him, she wrapped her arms around him.
"So I've been told by all the female population in New York", Sebastian gave her a wink. "So tell me, how did this fair in your opinion, was she shocked?"
"Yes, she was more then shocked she was mortified.", she smiled up at him. "Sebastian- Sebastian, you should have seen the look on Kathryn's face when she read the journal, you know I could have sworn I saw her cry, I mean not like sob cry but, I saw a tear roll down here cheek."
"You didn't imagine it, she did cry, also, you should have heard the fireworks between her and step-mommy."
"You were there but, how?"
"Let's just say I have my ways of being invisible.", he smired at just how smart he was. "Tiffany, basically disowned her, she called her an embarrassment, drug addict, slut, you name it. Kathryn was too broke to fight, I think that's the first time in my life I've seen Kathryn too weak to fight back, usually with her and Tiffany, Kathryn would apologize "I'll try to do better, mother." or "I know mother but, I can explain my actions.", but not this time Kathryn just stared at the ground tears rolling down her cheeks."
"So what now, what happens to Kathryn? To us? Can we finally close the book on this part of our lives and move on?"
"Tiffany, is sending Kathryn to a drug rehab.", she nodded. "As I hoped, but, what next? Do we expose to Kathryn I am alive or do you think it will hurt her more thinking I am dead?", he thought moment to himself. "Of course I expose to Kathryn that I am alive? Just imagine the look on her face when she sees I set her up."
"Sebastian, I thought we agreed that this was it, this was your last game of cat and mouse with Kathryn."
"It is, I just - it's not over."
"What do you mean it's not over?"
"Well, I just want to see her face when she sees that I am alive, also I want to see the look on her face when she learns that I was there today, that everyone knew the truth and agreed to set her up.", he smiled at Annette. "Also, I want to hear her admit that she lost and I won."
"You're never gonna hear those words from Kathryn, she'd rather die then give up."
"That was the old Kathryn, come on. I basically robbed her of all she ever had to stand on. She has no friends, they all hate her for the bitch she is, she is been outed for the Coke, she's been sniffing, she's lost it all. All thanks to me.", he patted himself on the back.
"We're never going to be free from her are we? Sebastian she just about got you killed, she -"
"She didn't about get me killed, if you hadn't saw me and Ronald fighting then, the Taxi would have never hit me."
"Whatever the reason, Kathryn was the one who got you and Ronald to fighting, so she is to blame."
"True, I suppose.", he turned his attention to what was going outside his window, he glanced to the street corner where it all could have ended. 'Appropriately, if it had, in a since it would be like some tragic movie, the main character dying such a gruesome death, in a way that made the means justified the odds, after all he had been no saint in his life, the things he'd done to entertain himself only made him fair slightly better then the devil, but, things hadn't went that way, he'd been struck pretty hard by the speeding taxi, the blow should have killed him instantly, or at the least left him paralyzed but, neither occurred,all he had to show was a pretty nasty head wound.' "But, think of it this way, if she hadn't set me up with Ronald as she did, then we'd never gotten to talk to Ronald in a socialized manner and Cecil, we both know how difficult she was to convince that Kathryn wasn't her friend, so without Kathryn's fuck up, I'd never gotten my brilliant, if I do say so myself, ideal."
"She did what? No way, not Kathryn she was always so nice to me, she showed me all about 1st base and the secret society that people like you, Sebastian and she belong too.", Cecil shook her head, refusing to believe a word he said.
"Cecil, haven't you read a damn word that was in that journal?", Sebastian asked, he was growing so impatient with her, how was he suppose to convince such a moron, that his step-sister was not the saint she appeared.
Cecil shook her head no at him. "Kathryn said, you were nothing but, a liar...that you'd try something like this, just like you tried to take advantage of me, Thank God for Ronald confessing he loved me or I might be still in your bed giving you blow jobs, you know it wasn't nice of you to just make me lie there while you wrote in your journal, like you did, then when I tried to kiss you, you threw me in the floor, like I was some whore. So why do you expect me to trust you? Kathryn has done not a damn thing to me, besides take me shopping and teach me how to become popular like she is."
Sebastian grunted, how many times was he going to have to suffer through this. "Cecil, does the name Court Reynolds ring a bell?", he watched as she nodded.
"He was my boyfriend, before summer...what does he have to do with Kathryn, me and Court Reynolds were together prior to Kathryn becoming my best friend."
"Kathryn use to date Court, right about the time that you first meet Court, so he dumped our beloved Kathryn for you.", Sebastian smiled, as he saw it all click in Cecil's mind.
"That bitch, if she'd just told me she want Court back, she could have had him. It's not like he's all that good of a person, he stays drunk most the time, and I was always afraid he would try to force me into having sex with him.", she made a face at the thought. "Mother was the one who thought that it would be good for me to date Court and marry him possibly.", Ronald and Annette looked on as the two talked back and forwards. "So, you mean, you never cared for me, you were just doing Kathryn's bidding?", Cecil frowned. "I thought you were a better person then that Sebastian, you and Kathryn both, made me look like a fool."
"I'm sorry Cecil, I even told Kathryn that it was stupid, I mean, you were never a threat to Kathryn, she just saw your weakness and exploited it."
"Well, I want to exploit her weakness."
Sebastian smiled. "But, how?", he asked more to himself.
"The journal, your journal, the one you showed me earlier, we could use it?"
"Very wise, my little Cecil, but, how?", he asked to himself. "Kathryn will find a way to measle her way out of it.", he looked up from his hospital bed, to see nurses in the hall way. "I got it."
Cecil, Ronald and Annette looked on, I'm going to call the nurse in here, I need to talk to the administrator, Cecil, I need you to take this to the local printing company, get as many as you think necessary to hand out at my funeral.",
Ronald, Annette, looked at him like he had lost it, but, Cecil looked at him teary eyed. "Sebastian, I don't hate you, so don't kill yourself, I don't want to see you die."
Sebastian looked at her and laughed to himself. "Cecil, I'm not going to kill myself, but, I am going to die, or at least we're going to play it like I died, okay, this is all a big game, you said you wanted to exploit Kathryn's weakness, right?", she nodded. "Okay, then back to the plan, Annette, go talk to your father explain to him what has happened, and that we really need to use Manchester Prep, Ronald I give you the task of being the one to break the news of my tragic death to the ice queen, just be a little sappy, explain to her that I was hit by a taxi, yadda, yadda, yadda."
Cecil giggled, "you think it'll work?"
"I'm betting on it.", Sebastian told her.
"Good, Katryn's going down", she sang.
"Only if we play it right, we have to make this look as real as we possible can."
They all three nodded, and so it was the plan had began.
Sebastian smiled to himself remembering the day. "This is the last part of my plan, my plan would have been pointless, if not for me being able to come out and admit to Kathryn just what I'd - we.", he corrected. "did."
"Okay, so when?", she asked, she started to get the feeling, that it only just began.
"Mmm, Kathryn is leaving for California Monday morning, which means we got tomorrow and Sunday, pick one, tomorrow, Sunday?", he held his hands out demonstrating the two options she had.
"Tomorrow.", she said, hesitantly.
"Good choice, doll.", he kissed her lips quickly, then he turned to leave.
"Aren't you going to stay, like we planned?"
"Not tonight, I was thinking I better go, it is getting late and I really need to sneak into my room, to get my things."
She nodded. "I understand."
----
Kathryn lay in her room weeping, her life was over, everyone hated her, her mother had basically disowned her, her drugs had been taken from her and most importantly, he had been taken from her, her Sebastian. Yes, the two of them were always at each other's throats always trying to out do the other but, never had she planned on getting him killed, she couldn't deny it no more, she was the one who killed Sebastian, not Annette Haregrove, who Sebastian had fallen in love with, not love its self, not even the taxi driver, driving the taxi, but, her. She had killed the only person whoever gave a damn about her. He'd said so himself, when he told her nothing changed, when she'd told him, he didn't love her anymore and in his journal, above her picture he'd wrote the two simple words "my love"
Yes, as hard as it was for her to believe he had loved her, all doubt in her mind was removed now. Her Sebastian had loved her, regardless that she teased him, regardless that she used him, regardless that she paraded her sex toys for the night around under his nose, then told him every last detail as explicated as she could, he loved her.
She thought back to the day they'd first meet.
Her mother was set to marry his father in a matter of minutes, she stood looking at her in the mirror, admiring the way the light pinkish, beige dress fit her body, but, as she looked in the mirror, she found she was not the only one who was admiring her, behind her stood a boy around her age, that stood nearly 1/2 foot to a foot taller then she, he had his eyes fixated on her butt, which caused her to smile. "Like what you see?", she asked, turning to him.
"Sorry I was just- I'm lost.", he admitted, she nodded.
"Apparently, you liked the fact that you're not in Kansas anymore.", she quipped.
He began to blush slightly. "Sorry, it's just, you're beautiful, and those legs, I'd love to photograph them you know you could be a model."
She smiled. "Why don't you go find someone around here that line will actually work on?", he placed his hands up in surrender.
"Honestly, I swear."
She laughed. "Right kiddo.", her eyes narrowed. "Look if you're gonna make it here, you're going to have to come up with better lines then that, if not then you're get so lonely and horny, that you may just be turning to guys."
He made a gross face. "Don't think so, besides, I'm making you my next conquest."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, thought I'd give you fair warning. That way I can gloat when you're screaming my name."
"Right.", she told him, she had to admit, he was cute, and the fact that he was confident and so damn cocky, definitely made him appealing. "So Don Juan, what brings you to town, you're new to town?"
"How'd you know?", he asked.
"Lucky guess, I suppose.", she shook her head, then began to laugh. "Seriously though, why'd your folks decided to move to Manhattan?"
"My father is about to venture into his second marriage, to Cruella De Vil.", he told her. "and, it gets worse she has a daughter, that they say is three times worse."
"Sounds rough.", she told him. "I know the feeling, my mother is about to venture on her third marriage and from what I've saw of her hubby to be, is he's nothing but, a Hugh Hefner wanna be, he got caught with his son's girl friend is what messed up his first marriage. The bad thing about it is his son I hear is three times worse."
"Funny, I can relate to that, my dear old dad, has done that to me one time too many."
She chuckled. "We got a lot in common."
"I'd say.", he told her. "But, it isn't that the drama story of every teenage millionaire."
"Or billionaire in my case.", she smiled. "Yes, I guess you're right."
"Well, I got to get going it was nice meeting you...I don't think I caught your name."
"Kathryn.", she told him, she watched as his smile disappeared. "it was nice meeting you as well."
"Kathryn Merteuil?", he asked, his voice full of hate and disgust.
"Yes, how'd you - Sebastian Valmont?", she asked, her eyes narrow. "My mother is no Cruella De Vil."
"Yes she is, and my father is no Hugh Hefner wanna be.", he folder his arms over his chest, the two stared intensely at each other, neither daring to back down from the other.
"Sebastian, Kathryn, I see you two have already meet.", Tiffany came up without either of them noticing, at the sound of her voice they broke apart both turning to her.
"Mother you can't marry him, I can't live with this - this despicable, perverted, egotistical, asshole.", Kathryn told her mother, she through hands up in the air, as she complained. "Mother he's going to be the joke of the school, he's going to ruin my reputation, the last man you married his daughter was a complete airhead, she followed me around, she worshiped me, I can't put up with that again."
"Kathryn, honey I don't want to hear it, make nice with your brother.", Tiffany told her, turning to leave but, stopped. "Sebastian, honey welcome to the family, you're room is just about fixed, Edward asked me not to spoil you too much, but, the plasma wasn't that big of a deal in my opinion, don't you think, Kathryn?", Kathryn only grunted in protest. "Why don't you behave more like your brother, Sebastian?"
"Step-brother, mother it's step brother and I hate him.", Kathryn told her, she turned to Sebastian. "Don't you dare mess up my perfect little life, I've worked hard to get where I am and no jerk off, is going to mess that up, do you understand me, you stay on your side of the fence and I'll stay on my, we're not friends."
"Oh but, no Kathryn, we're going to become best friends, cause I think I'm going to like this new family of mine after all.", he smirked.
"You're not going to play a Miranda Winthrop with me, you're not going to follow me around and idolize me so much? The girl was obsessed over me, the divorce of her father, from my mother hurt her more then it did them."
"Don't worry about that Kathryn, you'll love having me around, especially after the night is over.", he gave her a playful wink. "Ms. Merteuil.", he called after Tiffany, "Ms. Merteuil, can I call you mom?", she nodded. "well, mom, me and Kathryn are going to get along just fine.", she groaned in defeat, some how she would have to learn to get along with him.
A small tear rolled down the side of her face, little did she know that day, her very life as she knew it would change, not for the worse as she had predicted at that moment in time, but, for the best. He made her life complete, all her life she'd wanted a best friend, someone to confine all her problems in, all her dirty little secrets, someone to tease and be teased by. "Where did we go wrong, my beloved Sebastian?"
