A/N: I want to thank everyone for the great feedback. I know that the updates have been really sparse but school is over for me now so hopefully I will be able to update more often.

I have taken some elements of the show and put them in here. I have slowed down the timeline because I feel that it makes it more believable. (As much as a story about vampires and werewolves can be) Also Kol is still alive.

Does it piss anyone else off that the members of the Original family, the strongest of all supernatural creatures, seem to drop like flies around a group of high school kids?

Women couldn't help but look at Kol as he made his way through the club. His stroll gave off a confidence that was unusual in this part of the world. The people here were too poor and hardened by life to look like that. If only they knew the monster hiding behind that face. He relished in the attention. All he had to do now was sit back and wait for the brave ones to approach him.

No sooner than the thought had passed through his mind, a redhead leaned over the bar flashing a substantial amount of cleavage his direction.

"Hey baby"

He smirked at her words. Seduction in this century was truly atrocious. Completely lacking all the finesse he had painstakingly perfected over his long lifetime. But as the saying goes, when in Rome. Kol leaned in and began preparing his meal for the evening. It was sickeningly easy. Soon after, he making his way out the back with the redhead in tow. But before he could walk out the door he caught a glimpse of a blonde.

"Baby.. Whats wrong?" The red head queued from behind him wondering why he stopped so suddenly.

A genuine smile crossed his face as watched the dance floor.

"Baby...?"

Kol glared down at the girl. "It seems like this is your lucky night love. Go away and forget that you met me."

The compelled girl turned and walked away and Kol turned his attention back to the blonde on the dance floor. Oh this was going to be fun.

She loved nights like this. When she could forget the world and live in the was no Caroline Forbes. No Mystic Falls. No duplicates of herself running around and turning her world inside out.

No, out here she was free of all that bullshit. Out here she could be anyone she wanted. Tonight she was just another dumb blonde co-ed getting drunk. Granted it wasn't the most original cover but judging from the looks the men were sending her way, the hunting would be easy tonight.

Not even a half an hour later some drunk 20-something jock was leading her out into the alley.

Caroline rolled her eyes as the guy muttered some half-assed compliment in her ear. She made a non-committal sound that he must have interrupted as consent. Men are too easy was the last thought that floated through her mind before she was lost herself in the euphoria of bloodlust.

Clap.

Clap

Clap.

Was the first sound that Caroline registered as she became aware of her surroundings. It took another minute before she realized that someone was watching her.

"Oh to be young again" Kol raised his eyebrows as she dropped the jock and turned to face him. He kicked the guys body as he walked up to her. "I miss the days that I could lose myself in the kill like that. It all become so boring after awhile. But you, my dear, seem to be coming along nicely. I was worried that vegetarian mentor of yours may have ruined any good vampire left in you."

Caroline smiled at Kol when the guy moaned and rolled over in pain. "Perhaps I spoke to soon. Mind if I finish him off for you?"

Caroline pushed Kol away from the unconscious guy on the ground. "What are you doing here?"

"Easy love. I didn't mean anything by it."

Caroline took a deep breath in order to clam herself. "What do you want Kol?"

"Do I sense a air of disappointment? Perhaps you were hoping for another member of my family?" Caroline glared which only seemed to encourage him further. " Dose one need an excuse to visit with a friend? What has it been? Three or four years?"

"It has been five which, in my opinion is not nearly long enough. And we are not friends." she replied slowly emphasizing each word.

"Sweet Caroline I am hurt that you say that. Although I suppose that it is true. We are not friends." Kol smiled sweetly at her. " I mean, according to your other self you and I are destined to a far more... intimate relationship"

Her nose wrinkled in disgust. "I wouldn't hold your breath."

" I don't know. Forever is a very long time and I can be a very patient man when given the proper ... motivation."

" You mean when whenever you can piss your brother off."

"Don't be sore love." He smirked "That would only be an added benefit."

Caroline scoffed in response and started walking away. She didn't even make it five feet before he flashed in front of her. She had never seen a vampire move that fast

Kol chuckled at her surprise. "I am Original Caroline and, unlike my brother I feel no need to handle you with kid gloves. It is better if you know you are outmatched from the beginning."

Caroline didn't acknowledge the fear that was slowing making its way up her spine. "My brother has never been predictable but I must say that his handling of your friends back in Mystic Falls has truly baffled me."

Since she had no idea where Kol was going with this Caroline figured that silence was the best option.

"He isn't a sentimental man, Caroline" Kol explained. "He leaves that nonsense to Elijah and Rebecca. Katherine bore the face of his human lover and yet he hunted her for 500 hundred years for ONE offense. If his history is any indicator you and your lot should have been dead years ago."

"I am sure he is sorry to disappoint you." Caroline replied trying to move away from him. "Besides, I was under the impression that Klaus had lifted the bounty on her head."

"A momentary postponement in order to appease Elijah." He tilted his head considering her words. "Which begs the question. How do you know about these affairs? I was told that you had cut off all ties with that backwater town."

Her silence was answer enough. "Oh this is too good. Here my family is chasing down every lead to find you. Those postcards you send your mother are very annoying by the way. Klaus has a tendency to tear apart the offending city trying to find some trace of you." Kol had to laugh. "To think, the whole time you have be in contact with someone back home. Who is it? Elena? The witch ? No, your are smart than that. They would be too obvious."

"Leave my friends alone. Don't you have anything better to do?"

"You mean Silas? I am perfectly content to let my siblings worry about that." Kol replied taking another step closer to her.

"Such a hero" she threw back at him while taking another step in the other direction.

"I am a pragmatist. My family might all be willing to risk there lives for this mystical cure but I am not. I enjoy being what I am. Besides your friends tried to kill me not too long ago. So I am less inclined to risk my life for them." Kol paused, "You should know that my siblings have the notion the that you may have the answer to this Silas problem."

"While let me save you all some time. I don't know anything, so you can leave me alone." Caroline spat at him.

Kol smiled at her sass. " We both know that isn't going to happen. You could make it easy on yourself and just tell me what was on the paper."

Her back hit the fence. "I don't know what your are talking about"

Kol's warped his fingers around the fence on either side of her head. Caroline could feel the pull of his eyes as he tried to compel her " What was on the paper Caroline?"

He clenched his jaw in annoyance when she didn't answer him. "I have no desire to hurt you. We both know that there are ways to remove the vervain from your system. Methods, that assure you, I am quite skilled in." Kol paused "But then I would have to deal with my brother. And I made it a point never to deal with my brother again."

He slowly twirled a lock of her hair around his finger. "You know, he staked me for bedding one of his whores." Caroline tensed at his words. " Don't worry love, there is no need to be jealous. She meant nothing to him. It was the fact that he considered her to be his and his alone that enraged him."

Caroline took a shaky breath "Why are you telling me this?"

"Curiosity I guess." Kol gave her a small smile. "As delightful as you are, my dear. I can't fathom why he goes to such lengths to secure your and Mr. Salvatore's affections when he stabs his siblings in the back for far less than anything you two have ever done."

She didn't deny that Klaus had a bit of a thing for her and Stefan. Kol didn't seem like he expected her to answer him. It might have been her imagination but Caroline sensed that he was actually hurt by Klaus' actions. For whatever reason she felt compelled to comfort him.

"Maybe it is because we can die." Kol looked confused by her words so she pushed her point. " He will always have another chance to make things right with you. You are immortal in the truest sense of the word. Stefan and I are... breakable. He might not have another chance with us."

Before he could respond two hands wrapped his head and twisted. Caroline flinched at the loud snap that echoed down the alley and watched Kol's body hit the ground. She looked up at her savior.

Damon smirked at her. "Miss me Barbie?"
