Also Sorry for the disappearing act, but between moving, starting a second job, and school back in swing my life has been super hectic which in turn didn't provide me with much free time to write. But now here I am so let's continue on with our adventure. I will now be back to updating/writing my stories more frequently again. Plus very soon The Wayward Salvatore shall end, and the next installment to Samantha's story will unfold. Only this time Samantha isn't the only Salvatore who has a secret they didn't know about.
Kol's Pov
Other than meeting Samantha Salvatore and the little spectacle that took place during mother's party last night, the night was completely uneventful. But now it was morning and my intrigue in Klaus's newest witch just continued to grow. As I was quite fascinated with the fact that the Demeter line was still around. I mean after all I thought that line ended decades ago, but alas it seems those pesky witches are more resilient than I thought. Although in all honesty that's not the main reason I'm so interested in the Salvatore girl.
As I thought back on how delicious the young Demeter looked in her dress last night, I found myself slightly imagining what the blood of a Demeter witch must taste like, what the blood of Samantha Salvatore, must taste like. And as this thought popped into my head I couldn't help but think back on Renee and how much Samantha resembled her. So much so that those two had to have been related, but if that was indeed the case then that meant that I had a member of the elusive Demeter family under my nose the entire time and never realized it. Although in all fairness Renee was highly sufficient at keeping secrets and making sure that everything happened on her time table.
With my mind going through every last piece of detail I had on Renee I quickly realized that in order to put this issue to rest I needed to gather more entail on Klaus's new witch of choice. So with that I exited my room and began searching the house for my dastardly brother. After a few seconds of vamp running around the house my search then brought me to the living room, where I found Nik peacefully sitting on the couch doodling in his little drawing book.
Now that I had found my target it was time to use my Kol like charm to get Nik to open up about his latest project. So with a devilish grin I entered into the living room passing Nik on my way to the empty sofa. Immediately after dropping myself onto the sofa I kicked up my feet placing them on the armrest.
"So Nik, do tell me about our latest Demeter. Are there anymore of them, do they stay in contact?" I asked, turning my head in Nik's general direction.
With an ever so slight but overly contemptuous sigh, Nik takes a second to stop doodling before then lifting up his head from out his book so that we were now locked in an epic stare off.
"First of all Kol there is no OURS, just mine." Stressed Nik, before continuing. "And as for the Salvatore girl, if you know what's good for you you'd do well to erase her from your memory. For all intensive purposes she does not even exist understood?" asked Nik with great authority
Though my brother was adamant on keeping the Demeter to himself, I had no intensions of actually following his wishes. But seeing as he was now solely focused on me I figured it best to divert Nik's attentive and somewhat dark attention from me onto Elijah.
"Well that doesn't seem quite fair now does it? I mean why do you and Elijah get to have the Demeter all to yourselves? I want a sample of the tasty young thing." I smirked
Based on the way Nik's bottom jaw clenched I knew that I had I hit a nerve with the whole Elijah thing. And honestly that was the only reason I brought it up, while the whole tasty young thing bit was simply thrown in for good measure.
"There will be no sampling of my witch Kol, and as for Elijah's interest in Samantha, you let me worry about that." Pointed out Nik
I was just about to venture further into our conversation when I suddenly heard the front door open, which quickly prompted me to get to my feet as I would commence with taunting Rebekah about her less then lady like evening.
Sam's Pov
It was just a little bit after noon and sadly enough I was still trying to pick out an outfit for my play date with Elijah. I had so many options and so many different ideas of how I wanted to look for the well suited original that it was driving me insane. I mean obviously since I'm going out with my favorite original I want to look hot, but I want to look hot without actually having to try. Plus I wanted to add a bit of elegance to my outfit seeing as Elijah is always in a damn suite. God! Who knew picking out an outfit to go on a date with a one thousand and something year old vampire would be so difficult.
"Arghhh!" I yelled before then tossing my latest outfit choice on the floor. Immediately following my overly dramatic yell I then walked over to my bed and carelessly threw myself onto it seeing as nothing in my closet seemed good enough to wear on my date with Elijah. And that's if you can even call it date. I mean I personally would like nothing more than to know it's an official date, but at the very most I think it's just a hang out with a friend which now makes me feel pretty stupid for getting all worked up over nothing. Especially seeing as I'm not even one hundred percent sure that Elijah sees me in the same way that I see him.
And why would he I'm average? I'm an average looking girl whose a full fledge tomboy with enough male mannerisms to be the new brawny man. No wonder Tyler left me for Caroline. Compared to her and the other girls I'm a dude. I don't own more than maybe four dresses, which shocker was either bought or giving to me by someone else. For example the dress I wore to the Mikaelson ball originally belonged to my mother and was inherited to me after her death. And if that wasn't bad enough when you add in my stubbornness, the fact that I'd rather do things on my own than have the help of another, my love of sports, and that I particularly prefer hanging out with a group of guys over a group of girls any day. You get a better picture of just how anti-girly I really am. So why in the world would I think even for a second that Elijah would go for someone like me when he could have a proper lady at his side?
So with reality now beginning to set in, a defeated sigh quickly escaped pass my lips as I wondered if I was really just deluding myself with this whole notion of Elijah and I being anything more than what we are, acquaintances. So as I continued to lie in bed and ponder over what it was I should do about my feelings for Elijah, I finally decided that denial was the best course of action. Seeing as me and Elijah didn't really stand a chance as a couple anyways. I mean for starters I'm only seventeen and he's like in his thousands though he only looks to be in his late twenties pushing thirty. Then when you add in that he's a vampire and I'm a witch, and that I want nothing more than to witness the death of his brother Klaus. You really start to see why even if Elijah did like me why a relationship could never ever happen, especially with my friends and family constantly plotting the take down of the entire Original family.
After finally coming to the realization that Elijah and I were wrong for each other in every way. I finally got up off my bed and began making my way towards my bedroom door as I was about to head down to the kitchen and fix myself a snack. Now down the stairs and on my way to the kitchen, I quickly took notice of Damon and Stefan all huddled up in the middle of the living room. And from what I was sensing things were getting pretty intense between the two Salvatore boys.
"So, what's got you two all riled up?" I asked as I casually entered into the living room.
Immediately after I asked that question Damon and Stefan quickly broke eye contact with another before then peering over in my direction.
"Nothing that involves in you." Answered Damon just seconds before downing one of the cups of blood he held so securely in his hands.
"Oh really, and why don't I believe that?" I asked
"Don't know, don't care." Replied Damon in a somewhat snarky tone. After responding to me Damon then glanced back over at Stefan, "Now as for you, go talk to Elena and make sure she doesn't do something stupid." finished Damon just seconds before walking pass me as he retreated to the exit.
With Damon now gone all of my attention was now solely focused on Stefan. "So are you gonna tell me what that was all about or are you going to leave me hanging?
"Sam it's nothing, don't worry about it." reassured Stefan
And though Stefan tried his best to persuade me into believing that whatever was going on with him, Damon, and Elena didn't affect me. I couldn't help but shake this dark looming feeling that they were up to something not good, but seeing as neither Stefan nor Damon was willing to give up the info. I, as usual, was left out in the cold.
"You know what whatever, tell me don't tell me. I just hope for all our sakes you three aren't planning something idiotic like going up against the entire Original family. Because last I check they're all powerful vampires that can't be killed, and now they have powerful witch on their side. So whatever secret plan you, Elena, and Damon have cooked up better not backfire, otherwise we're all going to get burned." I declared with a strong sense of annoyance clearly present in my tone.
And with that I quickly turned around and began exiting the living room with the front door now my intended target.
"Sam." Called out Stefan, as I was sure he knew I was now less than happy with both him and Damon.
I mean come on we're a family so why all the secrets? Why keep me out of the loop? After all that we've done and been through together you'd think that we three were finally all on the same page, but as always Damon and Stefan are in on something together while I'm stuck playing clue.
As I made it to the front door I instinctually grabbed my black leather jacket from up off the coat rack, threw it on, and then proceeded out door. I had no idea where I was going or where I would end up. All I knew is that I needed to be alone for bit, and if the whole Damon and Stefan secret agency thing wasn't bad enough. Just as I was hopping on my bike I received a text from Elijah stating how sorry he was to do this to me but that something important had just come up that needed his undivided attention. Needless to say I was extremely hurt when I read this text. I mean I woke up today the happiest I've been in a while, and then BAM! The hits started coming and now they're just not stopping. Guess there is no such thing as a happy ending, at least not for this not for girl it seems.

Night had fallen by the time I had gotten home. But to be truthfully honest, if it wasn't for tonight being a full moon and this being my only shot at getting my powers back. I wouldn't be gracing the Salvatore Boarding house with my presence right now.
As I walked up to the front door I received yet another phone call from Stefan, which now brings the total to a whooping nine calls since I left the boarding house earlier this afternoon. And that's not including the phone calls I got from Damon. Now was it childish of me to ignore their phone calls hell yes, but I didn't care. I'm tired of being left out of the important conversations, plus Stefan, Elena, Damon and their little love triangle need to understand that the crap they do don't just affect them but everyone else that calls Mystic Falls home. All in all I'm just tired of living my life on everyone else's time table, which is why I'm not responding to either of the Salvatore brothers. So whatever shit storm they and Elena have cooked up will just have to rage on without me. Because tonight the only thing I'm focused on is breaking my mother's seal and getting my powers back.

I had just gotten done drawing a pentagram on the living room floor, so now all that was left to do was place the items I had gathered on their specific points. On the east point of the pentagram I place a bowl of water, on the south east point a lit candle, on the south west point a handful of dirt, on the west point an empty bowl that represented air, and on the northern most point, my family's Demeter ring.
When everything was in place I retreated to the center of the pentagram and waited for the light from the full moon to hit my family's rings, as it would signal for me to commence with the ritual.
I have to admit that I was overly anxious about this entire ordeal. I mean if everything goes well I'll have my witchy powers, thus making me a full fledge witch. Was I really ready for this, or was in over my head? I had all these questions and emotions surging through me all at once, but that all quickly vanished the moment I saw the moon light hit the emerald stone positioned in my family's ring.
Wasting no time at I all I said a phrase taught to me by Ester before then quickly downing the potion she had given me. After the last drop of the potion was gone, I quickly tossed the bottle aside and awaited some kind of a magical signal that would let me know that the ritual had worked. But after about ten minutes of nothing witchy happening, I kind of figured that the whole thing was just a colossal waste of time. So with that I went to exit from the pentagram, but found that I couldn't.
For whatever reason there was an invisible barrier now present, and keeping confided to the pentagram. Now a little freaked out I instantly began pounding on the invisible barrier, and I don't know if that's what set everything else in motion or if it was just a freak coincidence. But all of a sudden the entire living room was suddenly illuminated by a green light that was emitting from the emerald that sat perfectly on my family's ring. Instantly after that the house began to shake, which was immediately followed by an extremely powerful gust of wind. That wounded up shattering all the windows in the downstairs part of the house. A few seconds in to what I could only imagine was an earthquake, I suddenly picked up on the sound of running water. Though the gust and the rattling house were making noises of their own the sound of running water still wasn't hard to miss, as this particular sound was coming from all over the house.
Now already in panic, things for me only seemed to get worst. As all the rattling cause the lit candle to tip over thus, igniting a fire in the living room to which I was stuck in the middle of. Seeing as I was still trapped within the pentagram. As I screamed for help my vision suddenly began to get blurry, added with the sudden wooziness I was experiencing. And then just like that, everything went dark.
