Thanks for the support!


"Dani! Get up!" I heard Ade yelling at the door.

"I'm up! Thanks Ade!" I yelled letting her in.

"You should really get an alarm hurry up, you only have half an hour." I ran to the shower and prepared myself for the day.

"Hey Ade, you ready?" I called into her room. She came out and we drove to the boarding house together in my car. "This is the place." I said getting out. We knocked on the door and waited.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Ade asked me.

"I'm pretty sure, it's the only boarding house around." I confirmed and knocked again. A brunette girl about Caroline's age answered the door.

"Hi, are we in the right place? We were supposed to be here for the photo shoot." I asked, smiling at the girl.

"Oh yeah, everyone's in the living room." She smiled and led us through the house.

"Caroline said that only two guys lived in this house." I told Adriana.

"Maybe she's one of their girlfriends or something." She suggested and I just nodded.

"Adriana, Danielle you're here." Our boss, Lisa, smiled. "Your outfits are hung up on that rack and Elena here can guide you toward another room to change." She said pointing to a rack.

"I actually have to get to school now, Lisa, sorry." Elena said grabbing her stuff and leaving.

"That's fine dear, you two can just change in here then." We nodded and grabbed our clothes, heading to a dark corner. Once we were done and stepped out, I heard a wolf whistle.

"Look at what we have here." A man who was about my height with dark hair and ice blue eyes smirked.

"Damon, I presume? Your house is gorgeous." I smiled.

"Thanks, how do you know my name?" He looked confused.

"My cousin, Caroline Forbes, told me." He seemed to get a look of understanding.

"Well, it's very nice to meet you Caroline's cousin. Sexy outfit by the way." He smirked.

"Thanks, now I have to go." I waved and walked off to start the shoot.

A few hours later, we were all done and cleaning up. I had to rush to be on time for lunch with Liz.

"Dani, I'm glad you made it."

"Wouldn't miss it for anything." We smiled and hugged.

"Do you want to go out or stay here? I don't have anything ready, but I took the next hour off.

"Let's go out, my treat. I'll even drive." I smiled.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the little bar I was at last night. We ordered our food and started a conversation.

"So, what's new?" I asked.

"Nothing much, just everyday working. How about you little miss supermodel?" We laughed.

"Well, I've just been keeping busy. I started dating a new guy about a year ago." Our food arrived and we thanked the waitress and started eating.

"So, who's the lucky guy?" She smirked.

"His name is Kol and he is just the sweetest. He makes me laugh, smile, and forget all of my insecurities. I think I might be in love." I smiled thinking about him.

"He's a very lucky guy to have you in his life, Dani." That was the most sincere I had ever heard her be.

"Is there anyone special in your life?" I asked her.

"Oh no, not me. After your Uncle Bill I don't think I could ever start dating again."

"Don't say that, Aunt Liz, there's someone out there for everyone. It's never too late for love or second chances." Before we knew it, her hour for lunch was over and we had to go. On the drive to her house, I gave her an offer.

"So, I have to go back to New York tomorrow, but there is a fashion show for Valentine's Day on February 13. If you want, I can get you and Care tickets. You guys can stay in my apartment." I offered.

"I can ask her and give you an answer before you leave. I'd love to come visit you." She accepted.

"Just let me know in the morning or call or text me whenever. I'd love to see you guys again and we both know that Caroline would love a day to shop in the big apple." We laughed and I dropped her off.

I pulled up to the bar again just to see if Kol's brother was there. I saw a middle-aged guy wearing a suit sitting in a booth alone and walked over.

"Hi, are you Elijah?" I asked quietly.

"Who is asking if I may ask?" He looked at me.

"I'm Dani and if you are Elijah, I'm dating your brother." I laughed.

"Which one?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Kol. He asked me to tell you that Nik found Esther and to say hi for him." Elijah suddenly looked alarmed.

"What? Where?" He stood up and grabbed my arm.

"Sorry, but I don't know. I only know what Kol told me, but I can give you his number if you'd like." I felt kind of bad for him.

"No, just tell me where he is." He insisted and I started getting freaked out. What was this guy's problem and who is this Esther chick?

"I'm sorry, but you are really scaring me and I don't feel comfortable telling you." I gave him a sad smile and walked away. I got to my car and he appeared, causing me to scream. Then, he covered my mouth and did some weird eye contact thing.

"Stop screaming. You will tell me where Kol is and not remember what you just saw." I was confused by what he was doing.

"I don't know what your problem is, but I'm sticking to what I told you before. So please just leave me alone." He seemed surprised by my request, so I took my chance to drive away.

Once I was far enough away, I grabbed my phone and called Kol.

"Hello beautiful."

"Your brother is a lunatic." I didn't have time for his small talk.

"What did Elijah do this time?" He sighed like this was old news to him.

"After I told him your little message, he freaked out, grabbed me, and insisted I tell him where you are. Then, when I got out of there, he snuck up behind me at an impossibly fast speed and stared at me weirdly, commanding that I tell him what he wanted. I yelled at him and got away while he was distracted." I replayed what had happened.

"Did you tell him where I am?"

"Of course not. He was legitimately scaring me."

"Thank god, you're the best." He was relieved.

"What is his deal anyway? Who's Esther?"

"She's our mother, but she's tried to kill us all."

"Oh my god Kol, I'm so sorry. Let's wait a day; we can talk about it in person." I suggested.

"It's fine, Dani, been there done that." He brushed me off.

"Okay, I guess I can just forget about it."

"Thanks babe. I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you then." We hung up.

I didn't even know what I could do for him. He seemed fine though, so I figured that I'd just go to sleep.

I woke up to my phone frantically ringing. Without bothering to check who it was, I answered it sleepily.

"Hello?"

"Hi Dani, it's Aunt Liz."

"Did you guys make a decision?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah, Caroline and I would love to go visit you and watch your show." I smiled.

"Just come up a day or two before and I'll take care of everything."

"No problem, hun, just email me the details. I really appreciate you doing this for us."

"It's no problem, I love seeing you guys!" I exclaimed.

"Well, I have to get to work, but I'll talk to you later." We said our goodbyes and hung up. What I had said to her was true. Aunt Liz was like the better version of my mother.

A few hours later, I arrived at my apartment and just laid on the couch and watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother. Eventually, I heard a knocking at the door, interrupting my marathon. I begrudgingly got up and opened the door to be picked up and find two familiar lips on mine.

"Hello to you too." I joked kissing Kol back. A minute or two later, we pulled apart.

"Hi Dani!" He smirked sexily.

"Hi Kol, you realize that I was only gone for a few days, right?" I laughed.

"Yes, but you know you missed all of this." Kol joked, motioning to his body and I kissed him.

"You know I did. Now, I believe that we have something to discuss."

"Oh yeah, my mother. She hates what she did to my siblings and me..." Then, he went into this whole story about he and his siblings are vampires and they are over a thousand years old. I wasn't particularly sure if I should believe him or send him to a psyche ward. If suddenly vampires were real then was my whole life a lie? I asked him the only question that had been at the back of my mind this whole time.

"I know this sounds stupid, but I have to ask. Do you sparkle in the sun?" His response was a smirk.

"Dani, if you want to see me take my shirt off, all you have to do is ask. I'm dazzling where ever I am at all times you know that." I couldn't take it anymore. I started cracking up to the point that I had to sit down because I couldn't support my own weight.

"Kol, did you really think I'd believe any of this? I'm not that gullible." I rolled my eyes at his antics. Why would he create this whole long messed up story as a joke?

"I'll prove it, just don't get too scared." He stepped back and suddenly, his face was morphing into that of an animal. His veins came out, his eyes darkened, and his teeth elongated into fangs. I stepped forward and stroked his cheek.

"I'm sorry I didn't believe you, but you look gorgeous like this. I love you, Kol Mikaelson." I confessed and his face turned back to normal.

"I love you too, Danielle Patterson." At that we entered a heated make out session. He fingered the edge of my t-shirt and started sliding it up over my head, our lips barely separating. His shirt came off next and we were exploring each other's bodies until there was a knock at the door.

I separated from the kiss and pulled my shirt back on, running to the door.

"Oh come on, no one could possibly be that important." Kol complained, pulling on his own shirt. I rolled my eyes and opened the door to discover Elijah once again. I turned to Kol who stepped up to the door at my silence.

"Hello brother." Elijah smirked.

"Yeah, I'm just gonna" I trailed off pointing away, but I could still hear them from the other room.

"Seriously 'Lijah? You'd go through the trouble of finding me for one comment? Kind of stupid if you ask me."

"Grow up Kol and either come out here or get your new prostitute to let me in." I gasped, offended by his words when I heard a punch.

"Don't try to come into my life and insult the person I actually care about! You're no better than Mikael or Nik. I thought that you were supposed to be the honorable one." My phone started ringing and I saw that it was my friend and Kol's sister, Rebekah.

"Hey Bekah, what's up?"

"I need your help, it's an emergency!" She was freaking out.

"Oh my god! Did Jake finally ask you out?"

"Yes and our date is tonight! I have no clue what to wear!" We both squealed.

"I'll be there in ten minutes." I hung up and grabbed my jacket and purse. I gave Kol a kiss on the cheek. "I gotta go, Bekah needs me. See you later!" I tried to step around him, but he stopped me.

"You want me to take you?" He offered and I accepted pulling him out the door and grabbing the keys to his silver Saab. I rushed him along until we got to Rebekah's apartment and the second he stopped, I ran ahead to help her get ready for the date.
