Chapter nine – Karaoke time
Ethel's Pov: weeks later
It had been weeks ago that my mama had come back from her long journey and she saw that Klaus was still after her but she was stronger than before and could beat him anytime and she had a plan but we didn't have a clue what would happen and what the plan was.
We were sat at the table ready for lunch when mama said that it would be nice if we could go to the Mystic Grill and I wanted to go but Mama said that I was too young looking and wouldn't be allowed there but she promised next time. I had a feeling that she was getting ready for her plan and this was something to do with the plan she had. They got ready for the night and they all looked amazing. {See on profile} and I just sat in the house watching TV.
Clara's Pov:
My plan was coming together easily I just hoped the next part was as easy and as we walking to the Mystic Grill I had a feeling Ethel knew something was up tonight and she was right but I couldn't have her here not yet that much I have to protect her I couldn't then but I could now. When we got there it was Karaoke night and well that wasn't part of the plan but plans change with territory and mine was going to work either way and I had to become known by masses of people one way or another. Lots of people were sitting around listening to others making fools of themselves and I knew what Damon was about to say. "Come on Clara you use to sing all the time why not know." And I looked at Stefan for help but he wasn't going to help me and then at Elena and she wasn't either so I put my name on the sheet for the next song. I waiting some time before my turn but that was fine then it came my turn. I got on to the stage and started singing one of the songs I remembered listening to this with Eve back at the Glass House.
Take a hint:
Why am I always hit on by the boys I never like?
I can always see 'em coming from the left and from the right
I don't want to be a priss; I just try to be polite
But it always seems to bite me in the –
Ask me for my number, yeah you put me on the spot
You think that we should hook-up, but I think that we should not
You had me at hello, then you opened up your mouth
And that is when it started going south
Oh!
Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop you're staring at my— Hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
No you can't buy me a drink, let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
La, La, La….
T-take a hint, take a hint
La, La, La….
I guess you still don't get it, so let's take it from the top
You asked me what my sign is, and I told you it was Stop
And if I only had a dime for every name that you just dropped
You'd be here and I'd be on a yacht
Oh!
Get your hands off my hips, or I'll punch you in the lips
Stop you're staring at my— Hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
No you can't buy me a drink, let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
La, La, La….
T-take a hint, take a hint
La, La, La….
What about "no" don't you get?
So go and tell your friends
I'm not really interested
It's about time that you're leavin'
I'm gonna count to three and
Open my eyes and
You'll be gone
One.
Get your hands off my—
Two.
Or I'll punch you in the—
Three.
Stop your staring at my—
Hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
I am not your missing link
Let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Then everyone started clapping and cheering me on and it reminded me when I would have people say my voice was an angel but not anymore. I was asked to sing another one and I thought why not and started singing again.
Alone:
When we're driving in your car
It's like I'm on my own, yeah
I can't ask you how you are
You're always on the phone, yeah
And when we kiss I feel so empty
I really wish you knew what's been on my mind
You're gonna miss me, so get ready
I'm about to tell you why
'Cause when I'm with you I'm alone
No matter what you say
I hope you know, woah
That I'm alone
You say you're gonna change
But I know you won't, woah oh
When you look me in the eye
It's like you're far away, yeah
Some pretty legs go walking by
Your gaze is wandering, yeah
It's such a shame that you don't notice
The way that everybody's looking at me
Get off the train
This love is hopeless
Feeling like I'm gonna sink
'Cause when I'm with you I'm alone
No matter what you say
I hope you know, woah
That I'm alone
You say you're gonna change
But I know you won't, woah oh
But here's something you don't know about me
When you pushed me out
I found something better, you'll see
While you were paying no attention to me
I found somebody who can treat me right
When I'm with him I'm not alone
Gets better everyday
I hope you know, oh
I'm not alone
And it's never gonna change
I hope you know
When I'm with you I'm alone
No matter what you say
I hope you know, woah
That I'm alone
You say you're gonna change
But I know you won't, woah oh
I'm not alone (I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone)
I'm not alone (I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone)
I finished that and again cheering and clapping was followed after but I really thought I was good but to get something like this was amazing so I started singing again. They didn't mind but this was certainly my last song.

I got off the stage to the others and Damon hugged me and so did Stefan and Elena and we start talking and we got free drinks for my performance. Hours later I was getting drinks and about to pay when someone else paid for me. "Thanks but I can pay for my own drinks thank you." I turned and I recognised him straight away he was Harry Sloan and he was Michael's boss. "Wait I know you your Harry Sloan you're my friend Michael Glass's boss right." He nodded and handed me his card and he took a drink of the beer he'd paid for and then started talking to me about my performance and that I had a future career in music like Michael had and that I would be amazing and that I should give him a call soon and my plan was working but I also wanted this I loved to sing and I could help Ethel with seeing the world like she always wanted and Damon would be happy as well and so would Elena and Stefan. I looked at the card in my hand and got my phone out and called for an interview with Mr Sloan and I really couldn't wait. The interview was tomorrow at his hotel room only a block away from here and I couldn't wait.
