I apologize for the delay, however I also wanted to let everyone know I have finished my outline for how I want this story to go, the first few didn't quiet have a outline, however the next 7 chapters will fallow the outline (that being said feel free to give your input the direction the story is taking) This chapter is gonna be a mix of Kol and Elena P.O.V's
Chapter: Reconsider
Kol's P.O.V:
I picked up the glass, eyeing the brown liquid, about to take a swig,
"What are you doing here?" comes the voice of the younger Salvatore brother.
I raise one eye brow before replying, "Taking a drink, I always knew you're brother was a bit dense but I really had hopes for you mate."
he snorts before rephrasing his question, "I meant here, back in Mystic falls."
"I have personal matters to attend to, I herd you and your brother left as well."
He sits down before ordering a whisky, "He needed to leave, and with him gone I didn't quite see a reason to stay. He asked me to watch out for Elena, said he could't bare doing it himself. So don't do anything that would require me to hurt you."
We both laugh at the last part, "Your bravery is commendable, but from what I heard you and your brother are no longer a part of there group, why bother protecting them?"
"Wether I'm a part of Elena's life or not does't matter. I will always protect her." he takes a swig of his drink.
"As I said, commendable, but not needed."
"So you're telling me that your not gonna hurt Elena or her friends?"
"The Doppelgänger is safe, as for her friends, that depends."
"Depends on what?"
"On wether or not they cause me trouble." I smile. "This would also apply to you."
"So she's really safe from you?" he asks,pouring me a drink from the bottle in front of us.
"As I perviously stated, she's safe. As long as Nik need's her blood, there isn't going to be anyone safer, from me or anyone else." I take a another drink.
"And you're not gonna mess with his plan?" he asked,
I laugh, "As much as the thought of him creating more Hybrids annoys me, I prefer to experience the next few centuries outside a coffin."
He laughs, "Fair enough." I few silent moments pass, "So you're really not gonna try and stop him?"
"Why would I? His hybrids are no threat to me."
"And what if they hurt Elena?" he asks,
"Then it's Klaus's problem not mine." I shrug.
He shakes his head. "We both know that's not true." I turn my head to stare questioningly at him. "Had I not seen the look in Elena's eye's when she saw you at the ball I would have never guessed. You hide it a lot better then she can."
"And you've kept this to yourself this entire time?"
"It's not my place to tell. And honestly I was hoping it was one sided. That if I mentioned it to you, you would deny it and," he doesn't continue. He doesn't need to finish that comment, if I denied her then maybe he or his brother still had a chance.
"You still love her don't you?" I ask,
"I always will, as for weather I'm still in love with her, thats a different story. … I messed up, and nothing that I will ever do will make up for that, I know it, and so does she."
"Though luck." I say as I pour another drink in both our glasses.
"Take care of her, I cant possibly imagine what she sees in you, but she's good."
I stop, looking over at him for a second, I debate replying with a smart ass remark, instead "I know," is all I can come up with, before whispering out, " to good for any of us."
As the bar starts to fill up again I stiffen. This town is full of minions, always someone watching, listening, ready to report back to someone. I pull up my guard; and he notices.
"Hey, the final dance of the semester is tonight. It's the winter formal; Elena and I are going, friends." he hands me the flyer. I look down at it; Masquerade.
We both look at each, there's only one person who could have pulled this off. "Bekah."
"Yep, turns out, I'm not the only one who knows your little secret." he smiles, before pulling a mask out of his coat pocket. "Elena and I where planning on meeting at the Dance." I stared down at the mask before I looked back up at him.
"Why?"
"Because you need this more then I do, and I believe in second chances; so don't mess this up." and then he's gone.
…
Elena's P.O.V:
I look around, here I was, waiting for him, Like a fool. I just hoped that he would show. I wanted us to finally return to being friends.
"Is he here yet?" I look over at Care as she approaches me.
"No, not yet. He said we would meet in the middle of the dance floor at the start of our song." And here I was, our song had come and past. And yet he hadn't shown.
"You look amazing, and he's crazy to not show." she laughs. I smiled, I did look amazing in my purple and black ball gown, a mini version of the gown from the ball. The ball, I sigh thinking back. It had been weeks since I had last seen him, really seen him, as dreams or nightmares didn't quiet count.
"Anyway I'm gonna grab some punch do you want some?" she asks, her golden gown sparkling even with the limited amount of lighting on the dance floor. Probably another one of Bekah's decisions, mystery and secrecy being the theme of the party.
"No, but thanks Care, for everything." I squeeze her hand. Today had been our first real girls night in some time, a night in which we gushed over normal things like boys and bad test scores, while we got ready for the dance.
"Don't worry about it, It wasn't a total torture for me." she laughs, "I'll be back in a minute."
I look around, slowly swaying as the song changes and a Lady Gaga song comes on, I laugh: Monster.
A hand brushes mine, and I feel a shiver rush down my spine. I look up coming face to face with a charming smile, perfectly disheveled light brown hair and smoldering eyes.
"I was starting to thing you weren't going to show." I laugh,
He pulls me to him, resting one hand in mine and one on my hip. "Wow, dancing with me, and I didn't even have to force you." I laugh, as he twirls me around, my back against his chest and his lips brushing my ear.
"No force needed love." he whispers, and I want to turn around to see his face but his grip holds me tight as his fingers snake in between my own.
"I though you wouldn't show." I whisper, so quite no others, human or vampire would hear. "I thought you might have reconsidered staying."
"Never." he whispers. I laugh softly as he turns me around, and we simply sway, the song having changed to a slow song, allowing us to fit in with the rest of the students as everyone sways to the music. His lips move softly against my neck.
I hum as I unconsciously move my neck to allow him to continue.
"Time's gone by and I'm still so far from over."he hums
"You reappeared like you have never been gone." I hum along, as we spout out certain parts of the lyrics of the song.
"I have to little control to leave for long."
"That suits me fine." i laugh
"It shouldn't, this will only end in heart shed."
"Did you lie awake like I did?"
"'till the stars didn't recognize me."
"then you must know that I have no desire for closure."
"Are you asking me to reconsider calling this a bad decision?"
"I know it's a bad decision, I'm simply asking wether or not that will affect you decision to stay."
I could feel his smirk on my neck before he finally looks me in the eyes."
"Never."
I'm really proud of this chapter. Tell me what you think will happen next. Bekah, Stephan, and Jer know, and Care is starting to figure it out. I love it when things start to align, however everyone knows that things always go to hell right when you think everything is going smoothly.
Also the idea of Elena turning into a vampire has been on my mind, what do you guys think? Suggestions and input are appreciated.
For all you keeners the next chapter will be based on the xx song: Swept away.
With the way I outlined it the story will most likely be about 18 chapters. (Unless I add in a few extra chapters at the end.) So please feel free to review and add your input on what you think will happen, or what you want to happen in the coming chapters.
