REVIEW AND YOU'LL GET MORE CHAPTERS...PLEASE?! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK AND WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT IT.

We were driving through town as The Naked and Famous 'Punching in a Dream' began to play. Kol peered out the window at how much people had changed, he couldn't help but stare. I looked over at him and for some reason I saw something flash across his face, It looked like sadness. I decided not to push it knowing he wouldn't tell me and parked right outside the Mystic Grill. Kol and I walked in to see Elena, Stefan, Damon, Bonnie, Tyler, and Jeremy at one table, Nik was talking to Caroline at one of the Jukeboxes, Rebekah was speaking to Matt at the bar, and Elijah was at a table by himself having a drink and reading a book. Kol took my hand and led me over to where Elijah was seated before pulling out a chair for me. I smiled at him before sitting down as he did the same. I was in between the two, Elijah looked up and smiled at me.

"Hello Terra, I see you've gone shopping for Kol here." He said looking over his brother who narrowed his eyes at him.

"Elijah be nice." I said smiling.

"Of course Terra, I was just teasing." He smirked at me and then looked around.

"As soon as Rebekah and Nik quit their advances on the football player and the blonde we can discuss mothers quick haste in making appearances." He said looking back to us.

"Do you really think she's up to no good?"

"I do, and some how Finn is involved."

Kol growled before I placed my hand on his arm to calm him down.

"He was always her favorite."

"Now now Kol, don't be the jealous little brother." Nik stated as he walked over after giving up on Caroline who had walked back to the others.

"Bug off Klaus." Kol bit out.

"Oh but I wanted to spend some time here with Terra." Klaus mocked as he smiled at me, all I could do was laugh at him.

Kol growled and made a move to get up but Klaus's features changed to a threatening one.

"Sit down Kol before I make Terra witness a re-enactment of our last encounter."

"Klaus." I growled threateningly.

"You think it was pretty funny don't you Nik?" Kol asked getting angry.

"Yes as a matter of fact I did, you didn't even see it coming."

"Nik that's enough." Elijah stated glaring at his brother. "Kol leave Nik alone."

"Why do you always take his side?" Kol asked almost shouting.

"Kol." I spoke softly trying to get him to relax.

"I'm not taking sides Kol." Elijah bit out.

"What have I missed?" Rebekah asked sitting down next to Kol in between him and Nik.

"Oh nothing, Kol's just being an immature brat again. It's no wonder it was his fault we were all put into that fire."

Kol launched over the table and started punching Nik over and over again until finally Nik got the upper hand and pinned Kol under him.

"Always the weakling little brother."

Kol let out an anamalistic growl as he tried to push Nik off but to no avail. Finally Elijah grabbed Nik and threw him off. I helped Kol stand up as he glared at Nik with hatred.

"Both of you knock it off." Elijah bit out looking around at the guests who were watching.

"You know what forget it I'm out of here." Kol stated walking off.

I looked at the others who looked torn between what to do before I went after him.

"Kol wait!" I shouted but he just kept walking.

"Kol stop!" Still he continued to walk.

"KOL!" I begged hoping he'd turn around.

Instead Kol used his vampire speed to get to the jeep and took off leaving me in the middle of the street. Now I was stuck in the middle of the road and was forced to walk home. Instead I walked back inside where I had left my jacket. Elijah, Rebekah, and Nik noticed me and Elijah began to apologize.

"Terra-." I cut him off as I reached for my jacket.

"Save it, I just came for my jacket so I wouldn't freeze to death on the walk home."

"Kol left you?" Rebekah asked shocked.

"Yes as a matter of fact he did, and right now the last person I want to talk with is any of you."

"Let me give you a ride Terra." Nik stated getting up.

"I'd rather crawl home." I bit out as I walked out the grill and headed down the road.

How could he have just left me like that? After everything we had been through he pulls this. I don't know why but I felt emotions running through me like a tidal wave. I pulled my jacket tighter around me when I heard a twig snap to my right. I looked over and saw a shadow move from the trees but made it look like I was just gazing at the scene. I heard another twig and then another before I finally heard them right behind me. A hand landed on my shoulder before I grabbed it and threw the person over my shoulder and onto the ground.

"DAMON!" I shouted annoyed and shocked.

"Wow you really got a strong grip." He moaned out.

"You idiot I could have killed you!"

"But you didn't." He pointed out before standing up.

"What do you want?" I asked before I continued walking home.

"Thought you could use some company." He stated falling in step with me.

"No, now go away."

He chuckled before throwing an arm around me.

"Move it or you're gunna lose it." I bit out and he quickly complied.

He quickly took his arm off and held up his hands in surrender.

"Trouble in paradise already?" He asked with a knowing look.

"None of your business."

"Come on Terra humor me here."

"Why should I?" I snapped at him.

"Because right now I'm the only one who cares enough to come after you."

I stopped and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Why?"

He let out a sigh and looked around before landing his gaze on me.

"Because I know what it's like."

I tilted my head questioning him.

"To be abandoned."

My head snapped up and I looked ath him in shock.

"I'm not feeling-."

"Terra please after everything you went through you're honestly going to stand there and tell me you don't feel any pain from what Kol just did?"

I let out a sigh and started walking again allowing Damon to follow.

"He didn't mean to you know."

Damon stopped walking and I finally turned around to look at him.

"He didn't mean to leave me, he was just upset with his family." I whispered.

"Is that an excuse for the next time, or the time after that? What if there's hundreds of arguements between them Terra? Are you going to suffer for all of them?"

"I don't know."

"Terra," He stated walking closer. "You can't let him take his anger with his family out on you."

I ran my hand through my hair and let out a deep breath.

"For now I have to, I have to make things okay for him."

"Why?"

"Because it's my fault." I whispered in a broken voice.

"The Mikaelsons are their own problem not yours, Kol's problems with them are between them."

"When did you become so sentimental?" I asked as I started walking again.

"Don't get use to it, I'll probably do something soon that will piss you off and we'll be back to square one." He replied giving me a smirk.

I smiled back before nudging him in his side.

Damon then stopped and turned to me. "Why are we walking again? We could just speed over to the house."

"I'm giving him time to cool down." And then I realized something. "You should probably head home Damon, I already saw him lash out at his brother I'd rather not deal with his anger towards you right now."

"You sure?"

I nodded. "Yes, I'm positive. Kol can be very possessive when it comes to me, I don't want you getting hurt."

Damon nodded. "Okay just don't let him get out of control okay?"

I nodded and he stared at me a few seconds longer before speeding off. I let out a breath as I saw the cabin come in to view. I made my way over and noticed the jeep in the driveway, Kol wasn't inside so he was either in the cabin, on the dock, or running around god knows where. I walked up the steps and placed my hand on the doorknob but I didn't turn it. What if he was still angry?

Should I forgive him?

He did leave you on the side of the road to walk home alone.

He knew I would be okay.

In a town full of vampires, werewolves, and witches?

He was just upset.

How many times are you going to allow this to happen?

He won't do it again.

Then why are you still outside?

I looked at my hand and then finally decided to walk in, turning the knob and opening the door I was expecting to be met with a destroyed cabin but there stood Kol gazing into the fire drinking a bottle of liquor. I closed the door with more force getting his attention, I knew he saw the pissed off look on my face but he didn't react to it, which only pissed me off even more.

"Where have you been?" He asked looking back into the fire.

All I could see was red, Kol was back to the way he was once again. One minute caring and the next treating me like everything was my fault and that sometimes I didn't exist. I said nothing as I walked past him grabbed my keys and turned to head back outside when he sped in front of me.

"Why do you smell like that Salvatore...Damon?" He asked tilting his head.

"He walked me home." I bit out moving around him only to have him grab my hand and make me face him

"WHAT?" He shouted looking at me like I was insane.

"What are you not understanding Kol? It's quiet simple."

"What did you two do?"

"Nothing.

"Terra." His voice becoming harsher.

"NOTHING HAPPENED KOL JESUS!" I snapped at him causing him to drop my hand and flinch back.

He wasn't use to me getting angry with him, it was always the other way around.

"HE WALKED ME HOME BECAUSE DURING YOUR LITTLE TEMPER TANTRUM HE REALIZED I HAD TO WALK HOME ALONE BECAUSE YOU TOOK OFF WITH MY JEEP! HE AT LEAST CARED ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE I WAS OKAY! FOR ONCE SOMEONE ELSE REALIZED WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE LEFT BEHIND!"

Kol stared at me in guilt and sadness. Still I didn't feel bad, he deserved to feel this way right now. I turned back to the door and walked out leaving him there, he deserved to know what it felt like being left behind for once.

I got into the jeep and sat there trying to get it to start but it wouldn't, then I couldn't take it anymore. I started crying and leaned my head against the steering wheel clutching it with more force then needed. The next thing I knew someone was wrapping their arms around me and I smelled Kol's scent, I started pushing him away but he only hugged me tighter before he pulled me into his chest and tightened his grip before burying his face in my hair.

"I'm sorry princess, I'm so sorry." He whispered.

"You promised me you wouldn't leave me again...and don't call me that."

"I know."

"No you don't, you don't know how I felt watching you leave Kol."

"I really am sorry." I could tell he was trying not to react at how angry I was with him.

I let out a sigh before finally hugging him back. "I forgive you Kol, just don't ever do that again."

"Okay."

"Kol?"

"Hm?"

"I'm tired."

He chuckled before picking me up and speeding into the house before getting us both onto the couch. I was lying on top of him as he held his arms around me to keep me from falling off.

"Mother's ball is tonight. I rented my tux earlier and your dress will be here shortly."

"You picked out my dress?" I asked looking up at him skeptically.

He laughed at the look I gave him but nodded. "Trust me you'll like it."

I nodded and rested my head on his chest as he combed his fingers through my hair.

"Go to sleep princess."

"Stop...calling...me...that." I whispered as I finally shut my eyes and slept.

DREAM:

Blood. That's all I could see. Whispers were traveling all around me but I didn't know which way they were coming from. Dead bodies were piled everywhere, necks ripped out, chests with missing hearts, men, women, and children. Countless bodies everywhere...in Mystic Falls. I looked around and a figure sat hunched over drinking the blood from another victim. Draining them dry. I walked over slowly and touched their shoulder...the figure stilled and ever so slowly it stood up and faced me. It was me. The part of me I wanted to leave behind, the monster inside of me. The other me looked to the side and I followed their gaze to see another body. I looked closer and my heart stopped...it was Kol, his body was covered in blood. I looked back to the other me. It was grinning at me with their blood tainted lips, and then as their fangs grew...they lunged at me growling.

END OF DREAM

"NO!" I woke up with a gasp as I tried to breath. I looked up to see Kol looking at me with a look stating I scared the hell out of him.

"Are you okay?" He asked helping me sit up.

I nodded not trusting myself to speak just yet.

"Terra what is it? What did you see?"

I looked up at him trying to think of a lie, he couldn't know, he finally got a chance to live again and I wasn't going to worry him.

"Nothing I just had a nightmare that I arrived to the ball without anything on." I lied through my teeth.

Kol looked at me as if I had grown another head but then started laughing.

"It's not funny Kol!"

I slapped him playfully but I had to admit I loved his laugh.

"I'm sorry love, but on the bright side I wouldn't mind seeing you that way."

I glared before slapping him again causing him to burst out laughing.

The door bell rang and Kol answered, he came back into the living room with two zipped up cases containing what I assumed to be out ball outfits for tonight. He handed me one and smiled as he told me to go get ready. An hour later was dressed, I had my hair curled, and I was ready for the ball. I looked at myself in the mirror. Kol had gotten me the same exact dress I had worn to a ball my mother and father would throw every year. It was also the first time Kol and I had danced together.

FLASHBACK:

I was sitting in my room getting ready for the annual Miss Mystic Falls Ball when there was a knock at my door. I looked up to see my father walk through the door with a smile on his face and a daisy in his hand.

"Hi daddy." I said smiling as he handed me the flower.

"Hello sweetheart, you look beautiful as ever."

"Thank you." I said as I looked down at my yellow ball gown.

"You know... even though I don't accept that Mikaelson boy I'm glad he's made you happy." My father said looking at me in the eye with seriousness.

"I am too daddy."

"It's his father I really can't stand."

"Daddy." I groaned out.

"He has his self righteous beliefs that we're the evil ones."

"He just doesn't know us, and we haven't exactly given him the chance either."

He sighed and took my hand and held it tightly. "I just want you to be safe, I trust Kol, at first I didn't but he's proven how much he loves you and that's what matters."

"Thank you daddy, I know this is hard for you, but this means a lot to me."

"I can't promise however that Dante feels the same way."

I groaned in annoyance. "Dante needs to get laid, and soon. I don't belong to him and the only reason he wants me is to be leader of the pack and that I will not allow."

My father laughed deeply and smiled at me, there was a knock at the door. We looked up to see Kol enter. He smiled and then fully looked at me.

"Terra you look beautiful." He whispered walking forward.

"Thank you Kol, and you look as handsome as ever." I said as he took my hands and kissed my cheek.

"You'll be the one stealing the crowds attetion however." He replied with a smirk.

"I'll leave the two of you alone, but need I remind you the ball is starting." My father said giving me one last hug and a pat to Kol's back before walking downstairs.

"You do look beautiful Terra." Kol said gazing over me.

"Well then I guess I'm lucky to have a handsome devil as yourself to accompany me."

He laughed sweetly. "We do make quite the pair."

"We should be getting downstairs and greet our guests." I said walking towards the door only to have him grab my hand and spin me back.

"Kol?"

He cut me off with a kiss, I wrapped my arms around his neck as he pulled me closer.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Terra?" I turned from my mirror as Kol stuck his head through the door.

He smiled before stepping in. "Do you like it?"

"I love it Kol, any reason why you chose this one?" I asked giving a knowing look.

"Well it was our first dance together. And as I recall yellow was always your favorite color."

"It still is."

"Besides it's our first dance together in five hundred years, I thought it would be appropriate."

I walked closer to Kol and pulled him in for a kiss.

"Don't start this love, if you do I won't be able to stop and we'll miss the ball."

"Fine, let's get going before your family has a bitch fit." I replied causing him to let out a hysterical laugh before following.

"This night should be interesting." I heard Kol say as he closed the door behind us.

"Yes it should." I whispered to myself.

In other words...All hell was going to break loose.
