Hopefully you like this since this is when Kol was at Klaus's birthday when Katerina was introduced and the talking was a bit of a struggle so if you don't like don't read.

On with the story.

Bella POV

I didn't understand why Katerina dragged me here since she was invited by Trevor and I felt more like a third wheel since she was getting lovey dovey with him and now we approached the manor where the party was being held.

We got off and I was following behind them since I felt like throwing up from their moments since it was nauseating.

We were now in the room with all the other guests and I was standing next to Katerina and of course I was invisible to the world since Katerina's beauty outshines mine but it makes her a bit of a spoilt brat.

"Katerina can I please be excused it is bad enough I have to watch you and Trevor together." she seemed to sigh frustrated.

"Fine Isabella you may be excused but stay close in case I am in need of your services."

"Of course Katerina." I walked away from her to get some peace from this bloody ball and made it to the drinks table and got some champagne and watched as the ball commenced and Katerina was talking with the two gentlemen that held the ball.

"I take it you are not pleased with being here?" I got cut from my thoughts to see a man of nineteen years old with deep brown eyes, dark brown hair that was almost black and he had strong features. I had to say he was handsome.

"I was forced to come by Katerina even though it was her that was invited and I was just coming along." he seemed to look at me carefully.

"You and Katerina are related?" I was surprised but nodded.

"She's my cousin but I'm more of the person that helps her since I know she is family but she can be a brat at times." he chuckled and I felt more relaxed.

"I understand, I have a sister who throws a tantrum when she doesn't get what she wants." I was laughing along with him and didn't seem so focused on the ball.

"So who shall we be thanking for holding this event?"

"My brother that seems to of taken an interest to Katerina." I looked to see the two gentlemen and one looked similar to the one I was talking to.

"I must ask what is your name?" he seemed to smirk.

"Kol. Kol Mikaelson." he took my hand and kissed it gentley "And it would be of help to know your name." I smiled and answered.

"Isabella. Isabella Petrova." we spent some time talking and were soon approached by Katerina and the two gentlemen she was with.

"Isabella I need to talk to you." I nodded and turned to Kol.

"I am sorry but I hope we can meet again." the blonde gentleman seemed to speak.

"Not to worry love. You and your cousin will be staying in the manor with us." I was surprised but Katerina seemed happy.

"Thank you Klaus. That is a kind offer we will accept." Klaus seemed to smile.

"Excellent I'll show you to your rooms." we were then lead and mine was across from Katerina's and I had to go to her room first so that we can talk.

"So what is it you want to talk about Katerina?" she sat on the bed and I sat next to her.

"Both Klaus and Elijah want to court me." I was surprised and I was guessing that Elijah was the dark haired gentleman.

"And you don't know who to choose?" I wasn't sure where it was leading.

"Actually I will let them both compete for my affections." I was looking at her wide eyed and she smirked.

"Katerina you must not play with another's emotions. It is wrong to do so." she didn't seem to listen.

"Relax Isabella and besides I noticed that Kol was it? he was quite charming as well." I looked at her incrediously.

"You will not do this Katerina. Not ruin the relationship of those brothers for your own gain." she still wasn't listening.

"Why not Isabella. Those brothers are different and I do not know which one is the one I want." I stood up and left and as I was in the hallway I saw Kol and he seemed worried.

"What is the matter Isabella?" I didn't know how to tell him but it seemed best that he knew.

"Katerina is going to toy with your brothers' emotions for her personal enjoyment and to make matters worse she wants you as well." he seemed to start laughing now "Perfect you think I am crazy."

"No it is just that I have no interest in Katerina." I was a bit surprised since Katerina was every man's dream.

"You don't desire her?" he shook his head.

"No I do not. I prefer a woman that isn't interested in my brothers." I started laughing along with him. I had to admit he can be charming.

"Well then I do not have to worry about Katerina ruining the bond between you and your brothers."

"No but I must ask why would you worry for me?" I started blushing now.

"I do not know but I really like you Kol." he seemed to smile.

"I like you as well Isabella." we were quite close to each other but I didn't seem nervous or afraid around him it was more giddy and the strange pull I had to him.

"I guess this is good night Kol." I smiled and he took my hand and kissed it.

"Goondnight Isabella. We shall see each other tomorrow." we then headed to our rooms and I felt so giddy.

Finished and I hope you liked this since it was the quick chapter I wrote.
