Timeless.
Chapter Two.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'The Vampire Diaries'.
Elena gasped as she stepped inside 'The Mystic Grill'. It was packed to the rafters! People drinking, people dancing... people just generally having fun. She glanced over at Caroline who was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Elena simply rolled her eyes.
"Now this is more like it!" Caroline smiled, yelling over the blaring music. "Come on... bar's this way!" Elena followed her towards the bar and took a seat on one of the black bar stools. The young male bartender walked towards them and flashed them a grin.
"What can I get you two lovely ladies?" Elena let out a scoff but Caroline shot her a glare.
"Two double vodka's." She responded.
"Let me get those for you." An entirely different voice cut in, making both Elena and Caroline look round. There stood a handsome man, around the same age as both of them. He looked directly at Caroline with a small smirk appearing on his face. "Good evening, Ladies." Elena and Caroline shared a glance before Caroline's grin broadened and she stepped off of her barstool. Free drinks were good drinks.. and this guy was gorgeous. His hair was a light shade of brown that curled on his head. Light blue eyes locked on Caroline and a sexy smirk made its way onto his face, his mouth curling up to the right. He was taller than both Caroline and Elena and had the hint of stubble gracing his chin. He was truly very good looking.
"Thank you." Caroline said to the barman as he handed her a glass. "And thank you... for the drink." She tipped her glass in his direction, flashing him a flirty smile. Elena suddenly felt like a third wheel and picked up her glass from the bartop. She gave Caroline a small nudge to her shoulder.
"I'll be over here if you need me, Care.." Caroline turned her head and gave Elena a huge grin.
"Yep." As Elena walked off, drink in hand, she heard the man's voice.
"So, is 'Care' short for something?"
"Caroline."
"Klaus." He nodded his head and held his own glass up towards her. She clinked hers against his and took a sip.
"It is very nice to meet you, Klaus." Elena rolled her eyes and pushed her way through the crowd who were dancing to some up to date song that she couldn't recal. Her eyes scanned the crowed room and felt an ache in her gums. Shaking her head, she continued to walk forwards, getting pushed this way and that. She was getting angrier by the second.. but what happened next made her anger completely boil over. She felt herself bump into a wall of muscle and in an instant, she was soaked. Letting out a small shriek, she looked down at herself and closed her hands into fists. Her lovely white top now had whiskey stains splattered all over. She looked up, ready to let rip at whatever idiot had managed to do this to her.
"What the-"
"Wow..." A deep voice muttered. She locked eyes with the man who had caused this and instantly melted. They were the deepest shade of blue she had ever seen... and that was saying something considering how long she had been around. With dark hair and a sculpted face, he was extremely handsome. He was about half a head taller than her and was dressed all in black. Elena smiled slowly at him, taking a sip of her vodka. "Maybe you should watch where you are going..."
Elena's smile immediately dropped, appalled at his disgusting manners.
"What? You're not going to apologize to me?!" She asked him, raising her voice.
"Do I look like I'm about to blurt out an apology?" He said, a smirk forming. Elena shook her head in disbelief. It was always the good looking men who had terrible personalities.
"Any nice person would apologize-"
"Then it's probably a good job I'm not a nice person." Elena scrunched her face up and stormed past him, smacking into him roughly on her way past. Her temper was boiling over now as she clutched the glass in her hand so hard, she thought she might shatter it. She swung back the vodka, feeling the familiar burning sensation as it slid down her throat. She headed back in Caroline's direction. She could see the blonde still sat by the bar, flirting with 'Klaus' while she wrapped a curl around her finger. Elena pushed her way back to the bar, grabbing her friend by the elbow.
"Caroline, can I speak with you for a second?" She questioned, while glancing at Klaus. His face held a constant cocky smirk and Elena wasn't fond of him at all. Caroline, however, seemed to be.
"Sure," She let out a little giggle and swung herself around of the bar stool so that she was facing Elena. She gasped as she spotted Elena's top. "What happened to you!?"
"Over here?" Elena motioned to the corner of the room.
"I'll be right back.." Caroline smiled at Klaus who nodded his head.
"No rush, love.." He winked at her and Caroline's smile simply grew. "I'll get you another drink, shall I?"
"That would be perfect." Caroline hopped off the stool and followed Elena to the corner, beside two dancing girls. The red head and the brunette seemed oblivious to Caroline and Elena's presence. The music was extremely loud so they had no worry of them being overheard. "What happened, Lena'?"
"Some jackass spilt a drink all over me."
"I see that.."
"And he just became my next meal."
"What?" Caroline was shocked. Elena was normally more reserved when it came to killing people.
"He's a complete asshole."
"And where is this 'asshole'?" Caroline asked and Elena pointed to him. He was dancing with a woman in the middle of the dance floor.
"That's him."
"Ooh, he's hot!" Caroline laughed. "Not as hot as mine though, did you see him? He's gorgeous!"
"Easy there Caroline." Elena teased. "I'm gonna' go... I'm feeling a little hungry." Caroline rolled her eyes at her best friend.
"Just don't get caught.."
"Please, I'm not stupid."
"I know.. just be careful. We're new here.. we don't know who to look out for."
"Where was this 'be careful' attitude when we actually needed to watch our backs?"
"Lena' please.. just do this carefully and quietly."
"It's not as if I'm going to take a chunk out of his neck right here in the bar, Care!"
"I know that.."
"Go and get back to lover boy.. he'll have your next drink ready. I'm going for a different kind of drink." Elena pecked Caroline on the cheek in a sisterly way before walking toward both the redhead and the brunette who were dancing away by themselves. Caroline watched her go and let out a small giggle before heading back over to Klaus. Elena grabbed the redhead gently by the arm and spinning her round. Looking deep into her eyes, Elena compelled her. "Go to the bar and get yourself a drink."
"I'll go to the bar and get myself a drink.." The redhead immediately agreed making Elena smile slightly. She disapeered, leaving Elena with the brunette. Pulling her towards her, she grinned, allowing her deep brown eyes bore into the young girls bright blues.
"What's your name?"
"Kate." She responded.
"Well Kate, you see that guy over there in the black shirt and jeans? About your height with dark hair?"
"Yes."
"I want you to flirt with him.. the best you can, alright?"
"I'll flirt with him the best that I can."
"Good girl.." Elena grinned, showing her pearly whites. "Then, I want you to lead him outside... and make sure you disappear."
"I'll lead him outside and then make sure to disappear." Kate echoed.
"Perfect." Elena's grin turned into a smirk, making her look positively devil-like. "Now go." Kate headed across the dance floor towards the her target who was slipping through the crowd and headed for the bar. Kate intercepted him and began to flirt, giggling like a school girl. Elena took a seat at one of the wooden tables and simply watched and waited. Leaning back in the uncomfortable wooden chair, her eyes kept flicking back and forth from Caroline to Kate, both flirting shamelessly.. but both seeming to have the same affect on the men involved. They were both hooked on every word. Elena eyes shifted from Caroline to Kate for the last time and stood up as she spotted Kate walking towards the back door. The dark haired man looked around the room before following after Kate. Elena took this as her cue. She followed after him as he slipped out of the door in search of Kate, who Elena knew would already be long gone. He left the door slightly ajar, enough for Elena to slip through without making a sound.
"Kate?" He shouted slightly into the darkened alley and Elena slammed the door shut behind her before speeding off into the dark. The man span around at the loud bang and Elena immediately attacked. Using her vampire speed, she slammed him against the wall to which he let out a loud gasp. She felt her fangs elongate in her mouth and the blood rushing through her veins below her eyes. Just as she was about to pierce his skin with her teeth, she was flipped and she found herself slammed against the wall instead. She let out a breath and opened her eyes. A hand was closing around her throat and she heard him let out a slight hiss as he bared his fangs at her. The dark haired man was a vampire too.
I know It's been longer than I said it would be... but life for me has been pretty hectic. This afternoon, I decided that I couldn't put it off anymore and I that I really needed to get some serious writing done on a couple of my stories. So, I sat at my desk with my laptop and five cups of tea later(Well, I am british), this chapter was finally written! I'm not 100% sure on this and I'm sure that the character are maybe a little OOC... but this is practically an AU story, so I think the OOCness is probably okay! :)
We have the introduction of Klaus! And the beginning of the Klaroline relationship in this story. Also, if you don't know who the dark haired man, then my writing must REALLY suck.
I hope you guys like it and hopefully there shouldn't be that much of a wait until chapter three... especially as it's been left on such a nasty ending...
Review and Enjoy!
