I awoke in the late hours of the morning. I screwed my eyes shut as I stretched out, feeling my muscles relax and hearing/feeling my bones pop. Enjoy the feeling of my large, empty…Wait, where did Kol go? I opened my eyes and sat up slowly, observing my surroundings. Kol was indeed gone, as were his clothes and the broken drawers. He must have gotten up earlier and cleaned up. I swung my legs over the side and stepped onto the lush carpet below, allowing my toes to curl in the wool. I looked towards the bathroom, sighing when I saw that the door had disappeared as had the door to my actual room. I now had no privacy at all, I guess in a way in was partly my fault. I sighed, pulling my abandoned socks by my bed and walked into the bathroom, quickly peeing then brushing my teeth.

When I stepped back out again I slipped on the wood floors of my room, I squealed in surprise as I readied myself for the hit before falling onto my head. "Owe." I heard laughing from close by and sat up, holding my head. I glared at Rebekah as she sat on my bed, holding her stomach as she doubled over in laughter. I couldn't help but join in a little. When our laughter subsided, I couldn't help but notice the normalcy of the situation. "Where are the boys?" I asked when I noticed no one came rushing to see what had happened.

"Well Elijah and Klaus are out drinking I believe, I think they're discussing the incident last night. Finn is out searching for Sage, he got wind that she was still alive and looking for him. And Kol is out somewhere, I'm not sure where, probably looking for a girl to fuck and feed from," she crinkled her nose up at the mention of Sage and of Kol's conquests and I felt slightly jealous but quickly shook it away. "So we are going to have a girl's day," she said with a genuine smile and I felt a smile make its way on my face. "We'll go to the spa, get our hair and makeup done, then do some retail therapy, then we'll have a movie night with loads of snacks and takeaway, and have pillow fights in our frilly nighties."

I laughed at that, realising she probably hadn't had many friends over the years so she probably hadn't had a sleepover before, it seemed like her only source of knowledge was from what she'd seen in movies. Then realisation hit me, "I'll be able to go outside?" I asked with a grin and she nodded, then I jumped up and hugged her before I could comprehend what I was doing. I pulled away quickly and blushed with a shy smile. But she didn't seem angry in the slightest, she laughed even.

"Well I'll leave you to change and what not, meet me downstairs in twenty," and with that she was off. I was relieved the men were out as it meant no one could walk in on me as I changed. I walked into the walk-in closet deciding on a white sundress and some black flats. I decided to leave my hair alone and only put on some mascara and lip balm, seeing as I'd be getting my hair and makeup done later anyway. I took one last look in the mirror and went to see Rebekah.

She was standing by the door, checking her nails till she saw me and she beamed me a smile at me when she took in my appearance, "You look cute. But let's see if we can't make you sexy," she wiggled her eyebrows and we both burst out in laughter and walked to her pink convertible and rolled my eyes, classic Rebekah. When did I get to know Rebekah? I chose to ignore my thoughts, jumping into her car and then she sped off. I couldn't help but feel excited.

"So doll, how do you want your hair today?" The hairdresser spoke as she seemed to be inspecting my hair, Amy I think she said her name was. She was a skinny pale woman with dark pixie cut hair.

"I'm not really sure, I just want a change," I shrugged, if I was going to be thrown into a new life, I may as well make everything about me new.

She grabbed the back of my chair, meeting my eyes in the mirror, "How about a trim? Maybe a few layers? Or some highlights? Or even a completely new colour?"

I nodded, "I think a trim, some layer and some highlights would be good, thank you."

"Good choice doll," and then she got to work. I loved the feeling of her washing my hair, I'd always loved it when people would brush and style my hair. It reminded me of when my mother would brush my hair as she hummed a lullaby.

By the time we'd had our hair and makeup done and shopped till we dropped, it had turned dark outside. I wasn't completely sure of the time but I knew it must be late, due to the nightlife already vibrant and full. We walked back to Rebekah's car, putting most of our bags into the boot. The rest were loaded into the back of the car. We'd bought a lot. I looked into the rear-view mirror, I loved my new look. My hair was so soft and shiny, I'd decided on red highlights and they looked great with my new layers, the hairdresser had also let my hair stay curly. The makeup artist had given me smoky dark eye makeup, with red lipstick of course. I had the full on Kardashian contour and brows, and my highlight was to die for! I had changed into a red mini dress, to match my highlights, during the day with some black Louboutin's.

Rebekah had her hair similar to mine but with pastel pink highlights, they complimented her blonde hair well I thought. She had a lighter version of a smoky eye and light pink lipgloss, along with the Kardashian contour and brows, like me. She'd also changed during the day, into similar clothes as my own except her dress was pastel pink, like her highlights, and her Louboutin's were white.

We looked like we were going clubbing but in reality we were going to get drunk, eat and watch movies, at home. I couldn't help but think about what the Mikaelson boys would think about my new look. Would they hate it? Would they think I looked slutty? I did look more like Katherine than I did myself. And I found myself suddenly feeling very self-conscious and anxious. I didn't want them to think of me as Katherine. I knew we shared a face but I didn't want themto see me that way. I wanted them to see me as me.

Suddenly I was brought out of my thoughts as Rebekah's voice attempted to gain my attention, "Elena! Earth to Elena!" She was clicking her fingers in front of my face.

I came out of my stupor, "What? What is it?"

She laughed, "We're here. And I was saying to watch out around my brothers because you look hot."

I blushed slightly, part of the reason was the compliment the other that I got so lost in thought. We both climbed out of the car, grabbing our hundreds of bags and walking towards the car, Rebekah walked straight in but I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, preparing myself for their judgements. When I walked in I dropped my bags and this must've caught their attention because in a minute all the men gathered around me and I swear I heard them gasp…

"Wow…"
