"If you take a chance on me I'll be your everything"

Chapter 8: Infatuation

Klaus Mikaelson had never been one to be greedy unlike a lot of other vampires cough Damon Salvatore cough he didn't believe in excess. He didn't need it all because the only thing he had ever really wanted was a stable family and a woman to love him and he was close to having it. He knew the moment he met Bonnie, the moment her green eyes shined up at him, that she would be everything he had ever wanted.

Flashback

"So you must be the infamous Niklaus Mikaelson?" she asked causing him to pivot in her direction. He watched silently a smirk playing on his lips as she dangled her dainty feet back and forth while sitting comfortably on the kitchen island as if she were talking to some mere mortal she heard about at her school instead of the biggest, baddest vampire, and the original hybrid that he was.

He lent against the counter, while smirking at the girl in front of him. Obviously she was aware him, of who he was, she had probably heard lots of stories from Kol who after all wanted to be just like his older brother in every way. Or she could have heard from his plethora of ex witches who knew that he had known how to take care of a woman in the bedroom. He had often left a trail of brokenhearted witches who wanted him to put a ring on it. Greta had been his last witch, she had been easy to coax to break down and he had been with her for a very long time before deciding he wanted anything but her. He had left the girl broken and moved onto his newest conquest Bree and then settled on Caroline Forbes who broke the mold because she was a vampire.

"I take it my brother has filled your pretty little head with only the truth about me." He says his eyes soaking her up. She really was a pretty little thing. She had deep green eyes, heart-shaped mouth and skin that made you want to literally lick it because it looked like molten brown sugar.

A smirk floats to her lips before she breaks eye contact only to turn his way yet again. "I hate to break it to you but Kol doesn't talk about you that much." She says grinning madly at the sight of his upturn lips. "It's your appetite for witches, and the reputation surrounding it, that have made you infamous in this town."

His once sour face had soon sobered. It seemed that the girl in front of him . . . the young witch in front of him may be offering her services up to him. "So you're saying that in the witch world I'm a celebrity." He says bursting with pride as he kicks of the counter and saunters her way. He hops on the counter so that he's closer to her. "Tell me have they told you about my sexual prowess."

She rolls her green eyes and pops a piece of fruit in her mouth.

He watches as the girl licks her lips and can't help but smile her way. He wonders how long it'll take to coax her out of her clothes and figures not that long, after all she wants to be his new witch. It had been so long since he had been with a witch, the thought makes him feel all tingly. "How about we stop this idle chit chat?" he says leaning closer to her. "You were hoping to be my newest witch, hence the reason you've been waiting for me down here, am I right?' he questioned all to knowing.

I let out a gasp and bat my eyelashes his way. "Am I that transparent?" trembles from my lips.

He bent down looming over her ear while his hand boldly touches her knee as a buzz runs through him at the mere touch. "Only to a well-trained eye like myself." He says drawing closer. "Tryouts occur in my bedroom, clothing not permitted." He says with dancing eyes.

I smile again before removing his hand from my leg. "It's too bad. I'm not in the least bit interested in you or being your witch." I say honestly.

He puts a hand to his heart as if she had broken it. "Bonnie, I thought we had a connection." He says enjoying the way her green eyes lit up making them look like fireworks.

"The only connection we have is Kol." I say causing him to chuckle. "Listen I don't know why you're here and really I don't care you can take a new witch, you can leave without one and it wouldn't matter to me. But your brother does matter to me, and if you've come here to harm him, you'll have me to deal with."

He smiled loving the fire in her eyes, loving the sultry sound of her idle threat. "And what exactly would you do?"

I popped a cherry in my mouth and removed the stem that was tied in a knot and swiftly placed it in his hand. "I'll chew you up and spit you out."

End of flashback

He knew from that first night, the night she had threatened him that she would be his and now that she belonged to him, he'd do anything to keep her.

Katherine and Klaus

Katherine Pierce paced back and forth in the stylish condo, her long chocolate curls bouncing with every move. Since she was not allowed to leave, the safe-house, she was stuck here waiting for Klaus to show up with her breakfast. Almost on cue she heard the key to the door and soon she was eye to eye with the one man who had terrorized her for so long. The amount of hatred she felt for him was so profound that at times it was hard to speak, but if she wanted to stay alive and save her boys she had to do what Klaus wanted.

"Ah Katherine, good to see your up and going." He says walking into the dwelling with heavy boots. In his hand is a blood bag, it's no way near the good stuff but it's as good as she'll get till he is ready to release her out to the unsuspecting Salvatore brothers. He never thought he would need the help of the second woman who nearly drove he and his brother apart, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Bonnie was his and his alone and he wouldn't let her fall into the Salvatore trap, like everyone else in this hell hole.

"What's so special about this girl that you enlisted my help?" Katherine asked truly amazed by her sudden change of luck. Of course when Klaus had offered her of her sentence to death by his hands she had immediately thought he was playing with her, but the moment Klaus had brought her here and set her up in a fancy loft. She realized that this was the real deal and who was she not to use this to her best advantage. If the plan had succeeded she would win her freedom and save her boys in the process this would square her debt with Klaus and reunite her with the Salvatores...it was perfect maybe too perfect!

Klaus turned and looked at the woman in front of him, she had once been the one person to nearly break his family bonds with Elijah but now she was the only person that could possibly help him. He wouldn't lose Bonnie and that meant working with someone he loathed but at least she wasn't his father, he hated him more then he hated anyone else.

The mere thought of his "father" caused a shiver to run up his spine, though Katherine was too busy being Katherine to notice. He had never been one to show weakness, not to his enemies because that would make you vulnerable. He had learned at an early age how to hide any sort of weakness. His childhood had been hell, his father had hated him and often treated him like the bastard son he was. His mother was no different, being the woman who had an affair with a wolf, you'd think she protect the one child that came out of that relationship but no. Amelia had hated him because looking at him had reminded her that the love she felt for William was unrequited and thus the reason she had stayed with her husband Mikael.

Mikael had made him feel like he would never be worthy of anyone and Amelia was the same. The one thing he had, were his siblings and that was why he wanted to have children of his own. He wanted a family, like most and Bonnie, she was the perfect specimen to bare his children. They would have her light and his edge, the child would be the most magnificent thing to ever exist in the supernatural realm and all supernatural would bow down.

"She's my wife." He says playing with the ring on his finger. He knew that he was playing a dangerous game by allowing Katherine a glimpse of the depths of love he felt for the Bennett heir. "And your boys are trying to turn her against me!" he says hotly. Without another word he pulled out a packet of photographs that had been sent to him by one of his men. He watched as Katherine had looked at the photos that were of Bonnie and Stefan, or Bonnie and Damon.

She swallows hard. "They haven't been my boys for a long time."

He cracks a grin. "You're right but since our dearly departed Elena is- dearly departed."

She finds herself grinning. "No way! What happen? Did she fall into a well, or better yet did another vampire fall in love with my face and her little Ms. Perfect act?" she asked suddenly feeling giddy. This could work, the boys were mourning Elena, and to be honest she had missed them, it was the perfect way to reunite with the men whom she loved.

Slightly amused he spoke. "Car wreck."

"How unoriginal yet predicable. When do we start?" she says, ready to move on with this plan. She had been coped up in this loft for way too long. She was itching to get outside and sink her teeth into someone, and even better to have one of her boys sink themselves into her. It had been far too long and she was ready to play.

Maneuvering to the open window, he looks out into the buzzing city. It amazes him how humans live their life like it's a rats race, they bounce from one place to another never taking the time to stop and savor anything. He was different, he liked the hunt, the chase and he savored every morsel of everything. And what he was going to savor was slowly crushing those Salvatore brothers. "Soon." He says casting a look in her direction. "Damon, is predictably a problem and you're going to have to take him down the best way, you know how to..seduction." he says causing Katherine to curl her lips at him in either dismay at the fact that he had just called her a whore or pleased because well, she can seduce yet another worthless soul.

"What about Stefan?" she asked furrowing her brows.

Klaus lets out a sigh. Though he had been told that Stefan was just as hands on with his wife, as Damon had been he knew that Stefan would not dare to push Bonnie into doing something she wasn't ready for, nor something that may cause harm to others. "He's noble and despite the fact that Bonnie is already drawn to Stefan, she'll favor Damon because his blood saved her. She'll search for a connection between the two, a connection that cannot occur between the two." He says with an edge in his voice.

It was on the tip of her tongue to tell him not to underestimate Stefan but she chose to keep quiet.

"Okay, what do you want me to do?"

He grinned. "Remind them of every moment they spent loving you."

SS-DS-SS-DS

Salvatore Manor

Stefan Salvatore walked about the house with almost dazed as he took in all the changes Caroline had made for her birthday party. He chuckled to himself. Elena would have loved to be here, to see what Caroline had accomplished in only a few hours. As he took in all of the decorations, he tried to have a positive outlook of what tonight would bring. Caroline needed this, she had been a wreck this morning and celebrating her birthday would make her happy. He on the other hand had never really been a fan of partying or dancing for that matter, he would save that for Damon who loved everything about a party, or Caroline he liked loud music.

As he stands in the room a familiar song comes on the radio and he can't help but think of Elena the last time they had a party here she had been alive, it had been that long. She had worn an eggplant color dress that made her olive skin look radiant. Despite the fact that she was still undecided about he and his brother he could easily remember a moment when their two of them were just happy. He could still remember the way she laughed at him while he attempted slow dance with her alone.

So lost in his thoughts he hadn't heard when his brother had walked into the room, he did however hear him when he started throwing accusations his way.

"So what was that I walked in on with you and Bonnie this morning?" Damon asked as he leaned against the banister drink in hand.

He let out a tired sigh. The moment Caroline had escaped with Bonnie they had argued however the moment Caroline had returned they had both agreed to finish their earlier conversation once they were alone, and they were finally alone now. "I told you we were playing around, it's not a big deal unless you make it a big deal." He says ignoring his brother and heading for the bar, it seemed like all they ever did was drink it helped ease their minds, and curb any frustration.

Blue eyes blazed, Stefan had a smile on his face well the closes thing he could get to a smile when he looked at Bonnie. It appeared his dear brother was just as affected by Bonnie as he was. "What happened to not pushing her into anything she wasn't ready for?" he asked his eyes darting wildly his brothers way. He knew he was being a hypocrite but seeing Bonnie and Stefan so close freaked him out, everyone had always chosen Stefan. And what they didn't need was a war between the two of them not to mention Klaus for the affection of the immortal witch.

Stefan snorted. "Really you're gonna try that with me. I know something happen between you and Bonnie." He says causing his brother to furrow his brows and make one of his famous I'm not following you faces. "I smelled you all over her." He says grey eyes looking in the direction of his brother. "So why don't you tell me what happen? What did you do?"

He raised his brows a smirk playing on his lips as he thought back to what had occurred.

He could remember sliding his hands up her sides as he lifted her to the counter top. The rushing sound of her heartbeat which was music to his ears and the look in her deep green eyes. One look into those green orbs and you could see everything you could ever want. And her lips, the one time he tasted her mouth, he felt something...something that he couldn't quite name.

"I kissed her." Damon said all traces of arrogance gone from his voice. The moment he kissed her it was like the world stopped and that was why he had run off. It felt good having her in his arms, and it wasn't supposed to feel good. He had an inkling that could rebuild him, but break him as well and that wasn't what he wanted. "It was a mistake and that was why I left."

Stefan looked at his brother and let out a sigh, they were in deep shit because whenever around Bonnie, she made them feel things, emotions they thought would forever be gone after Elena and then this girl pops into their world changing everything. "So we'll stick to the plan from now on, and offer friendship and guidance till she's ready?" he asked skeptical as if they could really pull this off. They needed something, they needed someone to keep them from falling apart and Bonnie was it. He just hoped in the process they wouldn't break her.

Blue eyes looked down only momentarily before looking up yet again. "Yeah. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a party to get for and a date to seduce." He says grinning when his brother begins to brood. "Relax. I'm bringing Bree tonight." He says walking away. "And Stefan, you might want to find a girl that'll help get your mind off of Bonnie." He quirks a grin. "May I suggest Rebecca."

BB-KM-MG-

After everything that had happen this morning not to mention what had occurred in the last couple of days, I thought it was high time that I touch base with my husband. Especially since I was heading back to the Salvatore manor to celebrate a birthday party with the woman who had seemingly brought my husband to me, and broke his heart at the same time.

I picked up my cell phone and dialed the now familiar number. Klaus had picked up almost on the third ring. "Love is that you, I was beginning to think you forgot all about me." Klaus breathed into the phone.

I let out a snort. " As if that can happen, I'm living in your mansion, driving one of your plethora of cars and I've got a huge rock of my finger." I say pausing. "Not to mention you're the reason the witches back home are safe...I could never really forget about you." I say my voice coming out softer then I intended.

He chuckles into the phone enjoying the soft purr of her voice. He wishes right now that he could come back to her, but now is not the right time. He had imagined her lying next to him every night that he had been away from her. In his mind they had been together, his hand was the only companion he had, as he would never want to touch another woman after touching Bonnie.

"You sound stressed love." He asked while wondering if she too is feeling the ache he has felt for so long. He missed her dearly and he dare not to hope that she may be missing him as well. He wonders if Rebecca is being on her best behavior as instructed or if her guardians were to blame for the edge in her voice.

I chuckle into the phone, Klaus was the last person I expected to pick up on my mood. I had expected Kol and Melissa to notice because they were my peeps but since they were the reason, along with two brothers who managed to send my mind on overdrive, they had known. But for Klaus to pick up on something that like that told me that he knew me better then I thought.

"How can you tell that I'm stressed while a million miles away?" I asked twisting my ring.

"You're my wife-I know everything about you." He says pausing as to think of wether or not to delve deeper. "I know that you miss your family even though you never speak about them." He says he says hearing an intake of breath on her part. "I know you cry sometimes about the life you've been dealt-though I've never seen nor heard you cry."

I let out a gasp at his all so true words. When Klaus talked about me...talked to me with so much concern it made me wonder if he had been telling the truth about wanting the two of us to have a real marriage. His voice had been real and raw and it had a hint of something I wasn't sure if I could handle...at least not yet. I had called Klaus because he had a way of about him that had kept me grounded and on task, and after spending so much time with the Salvatore brothers in a Salvatore brother I needed to be reminded of the real world. "Klaus" I say a bit unsteady. I didn't want to give him false hope. I couldn't fathom falling in love with anyone not my husband nor my guardians at this time in my life.

He chuckles despite himself. "No need to be alarmed love. I just wanted you to know that you are always on my mind." He smiles into the phone. "Even a million miles away, I'm closer then you think." He says before bidding her goodbye.

Once I was finished with Klaus I turned around to catch sight of Kol standing in the doorway with his arms crossed in front of his chest. I arched a brow silently asking him what was the reason for his sudden appearance.

"I heard that." Kol says while he watches her brush out her hair. Bonnie had no idea what power she possessed not as a witch, and certainly not as woman. He had listened in on her conversation with Klaus and nearly cringed at how desperate Klaus was for Bonnie to see him as more then a friend. Bonnie wasn't ready and he wished that her potential suitors would realize that, because if not he'd have to step in.

I shrugged my shoulders before motioning for Kol to turn around while I put on some clothes.

"Bonnie, you know I'm quite fond of you for some reason...I love you." he says trying to get the words out correctly. "You need to be careful kitten" he says turning around as she has finished dressing at least in her robe. He's always felt protective of Bonnie and that hadn't changed not since she married his brother or met her guardians, Bonnie was special to him and he'd go to great lengths to make sure that she was happy...she was after all his best friend.

"Careful about what?" I ask while combing out my hair.

He studies her for a moment before speaking. "Bonnie, there is something about you that brings out the humanity in us." He says trailing off. As a vampire you mostly lived for the thrill of things, basic instinct was really all you had but with Bonnie, she made you feel human almost normal and sometimes that was all you wanted.

I quirked an eyebrow at him and bit back a smile. By looking at Kol you'd never know that he was so passionate about things that didn't involve fast cars and even faster women. "You make it sound like I'm irresistible." I say shaking my head at that idea. "I'm not even close , nor do I have a golden honey pot." I say with a chuckle.

He gave her a rueful look. "You're the immortal witch, and you posses something even I cannot deny." he admits. He may not have been remotely interested in Bonnie the way his brother had been or Salvatore brothers, but he wasn't blind. "As for your honey, well Klaus seemed to enjoy it." he says with an excessive eye waggle. "And I'm sure if your boyfriends got a taste they'd be just as addicted as Klaus

"Gross, stop it." I say smacking his face all the while causing Kol to start laughing my way which only serves to infuriate me more. Just as I'm about to use magic on him he ghost out the room like the chicken shit he really is.

Just as I'm about to start the process of getting ready for the party I hear Kol claiming that I needed to hurry up because my boyfriends were waiting. I rolled my eyes this was going to be a long night.

Salvatore Manor

When we had pulled up to the Salvatore Manor, it had been transformed from the peaceful place I had seen hours ago, to something reminiscent to the legendary mansion. People were literally everywhere and nearly naked, it was a good thing that the manor was secluded because the loud music would have given the neighbors hell.

"Okay, first things first, I need you to promise me that you won't start anything." I say tapping my foot as Kol pretends to play coy. I had known better.

"As if I could ever cause trouble." He says a full-blown smile on his face when twins wearing barley anything wink his way.

I watch as Kol flirts back with the girls and when they've finally walked away I hit him in the arm causing him to once again laugh. "Kol, I'm serous!" I say my voice coming out whiny which causes Kol to throw an arm around my shoulder. "We came here to have fun and make friends not add to our enemies list." I remind him, with big innocent eyes.

He rolls his light brown eyes. Bonnie would be the death of him and his fun one day. "Anything for you kitten." He says kissing her forehead

Together we walked into the Salvatore manor and it was then that I realized that we were probably entering the party of the year or at least the night. The manor was filled with people who were dressed in their sleeping attire, and having a good time. The music thumped through the house making me instantly want to dance. It had been so long since we had all really let loose and the mere sound of the music was calling out to me. I gazed around and spotted a game of twister in the corner, while in the far left was a group of guys playing beer bong.

We walk further into the house before stopping at the sight before us. Melissa and Jeremy getting down and dirty. I can't help but squeal because it had been eons since my girl had gotten a chance to let go and the best way to do was so was by dancing. I find myself smiling at my bestie as she makes sure to leave a lasting impression on Jeremy, when out of the corner I spot Kol who is no longer fascinated by the pair of breast that had intrigued him so much earlier.

"The hell." I hear Kol mutter as he nearly spills his drink at the scene in front of him and then he's stalking off with the most murderous look I've seen on his features in a long time.

"Kol" I call hoping to talk to sense into him but my voice falls on deaf ears and Kol strolls over to where Melissa and Jeremy are dancing quite close taps poor cute Jeremy on the shoulder causing the very attractive boy to turn around and then when he had his back turned Kol simply through Melissa over his shoulder. The people around them looked amused while I knew Melissa was cursing Kol over about a hundred times. I guess he was finally making a statement.

"Well that is certainly interesting." Caroline says as if she had appeared out of thin air. I turn to look her way and shrugs her shoulders. "Every single time I've seen Kol he's either way too drunk or too busy flirting around with every girl that comes through the door, but it appears tonight he only has eyes for one girl." She says while her eyes watch as Kol swiftly throws the witch over his shoulder gaining a cheer from the drunken people at the party and then uses vampire speed to ghost off to a place that gives him the alone time he obviously wants with the other witch.

I cast one last look in the direction I thought I saw Kol and Melissa go before turning my attention back to Caroline. I could only hope that tonight would be the night the two of them would finally just admit to liking each other. Kol had always said that he couldn't give Melissa what she wanted or needed. But I saw first hand how upset he had been by the mere fact that she had come to the Salvatore manor before the two of us and with a date no less. And the look on his face while he was playing, the guitar had been the most obvious thing I had ever seen, well except from the sudden abduction of course. It all made sense. They belonged together and I could only hope that they could figure this thing out sooner rather than later.

"You saw that too?" I asked causing Caroline to nod her head in agreement. "Thank god. I was starting to think it was all in my mind. I mean they would go really good together right. They are both good looking and smart and perfect for each other." I say as I find myself following Caroline to the kitchen where she pours me a drink.

"A blind person could see what was between them, if I knew them well enough I'd bet my day walking ring that they are doing it as we speak." Caroline says with a flip of her blond hair.

"God I hope so." I muse out loud while putting my hand on my hip. "Someone has to get some kind of action sense I'm not." I say before instantly shutting my mouth. I had almost forgotten who I was talking to. It appeared my mouth was a lot looser then I thought. I guess Caroline can tell that I'm a bit embarrassed because she soon raises her cup to mine as we give each other a salute to that.

"Amen to that." She says clinking her cup with the girl in front of her. She had thought that her invitation had gone on deaf ears but when she had seen Bonnie and Kol walk through it kind of made her just a tad bit happy. At least she knew Bonnie wouldn't be fake like half the people who were at her party. She wasn't naive and knew that most of the people who had showed up to the Salvatore manor, had only come because it was the home of the Salvatore brothers, who were two hot brothers. But it was nice to see someone who she had treated horribly.

I gulped down my drink and looked Carolines way. "Happy Birthday!" I say causing her to giggle.

"Come, lets give people something to talk about."

KM-MG-KM-MG

Kol and Melissa

"What the hell is your problem?" Melissa Glasser asked in a huff as she was finally placed on the ground. She glared at the vampire that dared to ruin her fun.

He snorted. "What the hell is my problem, you for starters you're practically naked." He said as his eyes danced all over the vast amount of skin that was shown. He hadn't liked the idea that everyone had been able to see her legs like that, nor her arms or shoulders. In fact he would feel much better if she were wearing a robe. When he had first seen her earlier, he hadn't really seen her, no he was too busy looking at the girl who was putting it on some dude, and then when he realized the siren in red was Melissa he nearly blew a casket. "You look like a whore!"

She rolls her eyes."Says the billion-year old vampire whore." She says dryly. "And side note everyone looks like a whore at this party."

He ignores her point, it didn't matter if he was a whore, or if everyone at the party was one, minus Bonnie of course- the one thing that mattered was her at that moment. "What are you really doing?"

She runs her hands through long dark tresses. Kol had made it perfectly clear that he didn't want her but when she tried to move on from him, he always found an excuse for her to stay single.

"I'm having fun Kol! You do remember that?" she says while looking over at him. "You know since that night. We haven't really been living our lives. And it's a shame because we've lost so many of our friends and know they would want more for us...then this."

He studies her closely watching as every emotion played across her face. He knew that he was being hard on her, but he had his reasons. "Ok, fair enough you're having fun but what are you doing with boy Gilbert?" he asked trying to keep his voice steady. When he had first seen the sparks fly between Melissa and Jeremy he thought it would be a fleeting moment, he thought Jeremy would prove to be just as fickle as his sister had been. But seeing them so intertwined tonight had told him that maybe they could be on to something if they wanted it. And that had left him feeling unsettled.

She nibbled on her bottom lip and shifted her weight from one foot to the other, while trying decide wether or not to go into detail. Throwing caution in the wind, she speaks. "It gets lonely ok." She says feeling her face heat up. "Jeremy is hot. I'm hot so why not? It's better then being alone." She says watching his reaction.

He can't help but be amused. "You slag."

She chuckles despite the topic at hand. "Your one to talk you have a permanent revolving door of women who sex you up regularly, so why can't I have that with Jeremy?"

He could barely contain himself and finally starting laughing. He let out a full belly laugh bending at the knees to do so. She was so freaking serious. If all she wanted was some tail why not at least go for someone who could properly ring her bell? His chuckles seize when his pajama bottoms start smoking.

Containing himself, he speaks. "Fair enough, but boy Gilbert wouldn't know what to do with a girl like you." He says as his eyes rake over her. "If all you want is tail why not go for someone with more experience?" he mused while approaching her figure. "He wouldn't know how to touch you." He says reaching out to lift her chin so she's looking at him. "He wouldn't know how to please you-have you screaming his name." He whispers.

She let out a whimper before catching herself. Kol was playing with her like always and today she didn't want to play. "I guess I'll have to show him, now get out of my way before I move you."

Never had he seen Melissa look so beautiful then she had looked at this moment, angry and full of life. They had a rather perplexing dynamic the two of them, he had always stopped himself from pushing the envelope too far- for making a move because if things had gone sour like it always had in every relationship he'd lose her. He quickly pulled her to him, his voice in her ear. "I have a better idea instead of using boy Gilbert to scratch your itch, why not use me?" he asked nuzzling his nose in her neck.

"Why?" she asked turning around to face him.

He shrugs "Why not?" what he wanted to say was because he wanted to take care of her.

"We can't tell Bonnie. She'll want this to be more then what it is."

"Of course." was his reply.

"Should we shake hands or something?"

"Or something" he says sealing their deal with a kiss

BB-BB-BB

20 minutes I'm soaring through the party without a care in the world. God when did I become so freaking boring. I needed to let loose more often. Caroline had proven to be a great dance partner and she reminded me of one of my friends back home. She was loud and opinionated but in all she wanted to have a good time like everyone else. Though I was still a tad bit worried about what was going on between my friends, I could only hope that maybe all of our dreams could come true tonight. I've lost Caroline and find myself wandering around the massive house in search of someone I know, Caroline, Stefan, Damon.. anyone. As I continue on my way I bump into a giant of some sort.

I look up to see the giant isn't really a giant but Bree in six inch heels.

"Bree!" I say giving her a high five. "Glad to see a friendly face. I've lost Caroline, Kol and Melissa are m.i.a. and I haven't seen either of the Salvatore brothers since early this morning." I say with a pout. "Why aren't you talking?" I ask in one breath.

Bree chuckled lightly at the petite girl who obviously had been drinking probably too much. The moment she met Bonnie she had liked her! The girl may have been a tiny package but she made up for it with her personality. She had charmed most of the wolves during their poker game all the while robbing them blind with her game playing skills. "Wow someone has been drinking, tell me how many guys have you dazzled tonight?"

I rolled my eyes. "Not yet! Are you here with Sam? Where is he?" I asked looking around to spot the other giant known as Sam.

For a moment, Bree had faltered on her words. She had liked Bonnie a lot, but she had promised Damon to save him, from himself and that meant saving Bonnie from Damon as well. Her eyes were drawn to him as he was dressed in his black pajama bottoms with bright blue eyes as he continued to listen in on the conversation. She had known he had been watching Bonnie all night

Her words faltered for only a moment before she caught sight of Damon. He was pretending not just as Stefan had been doing the same except the brothers had decided to keep some distance.

From across the room he see's that Bree looks to be having difficulties playing along with the charade which is a bit disturbing. Bonnie was magnetic to just about anyone because even Bree had looked to be having trouble lying to her, and he couldn't have that. He was trying to give Bonnie a chance that he had failed to give Elena. However, it was difficult especially with her looking at him like that. When Bonnie looked at him it was like she could see through everything and he couldn't have that. This was better for everyone, besides he was positive that she had already thought he was an ass after he had dashed off mere seconds after kissing her.

"Actually Bree is here with me." He says putting his arms around Bree. He fitted his head right on her shoulder and looked down at Bonnie who was looked well stunned. He had been thinking about backing out of his arrangement with Bree. She was here to stop him from doing something stupid with Bonnie, but the moment he saw her- he thought about the moment they shared last night and he wanted more of that and he knew that he couldn't...shouldn't not with Bonnie.

I couldn't help but laugh, maybe I had drank too much but that was absurd. Last night I had been convinced that Bree and Damon were more then friends but I saw the way Bree looked at Sam when he was looking and I could totally tell by looking at Sam that he was hung up on Bree. No way could Bree suddenly be team Damon, unless what Elena had said was true, unless they couldn't resist what was between them.

Green met blue and for a moment I felt like time had suspended. If Damon was with Bree why was he looking at me like that? A part of me wanted to know more but the other part of me, knew better. This was way too deep way too soon in the night. I needed another drink.

For her part Bree had watched the silent exchange and had decided to intervene. Damon had looked like he was about to fold and the last time he had done that was with Elena and they all knew what had happen to Elena. Unlike her, Bonnie couldn't die but she could be torn apart, and hurt. "Yeah, Damon came by this morning and well, what girl could resist him." She said placing her hand on his face and yanking his chin in her direction as their eyes meet.

I watch as Bree and Damon share a moment and suddenly feel as if I'm intruding. Lucky for me I spot Kol and Melissa and head in their direction giving the two lovebirds time alone.

The moment he saw Bonnie start to walk away he jerked away from Bree and glared at the guys who were obviously starring at her. She had looked so pretty like a little doll and he had wanted to tell her what he thought, what he wanted to do to her but he had refrained from doing so. And then the kiss, he wanted to talk to her about it, mainly he just wanted to be close to her and now he had lost his chance. "Boozy!" he calls not nearly as loud as he thought he did.

"It's better this way Damon-she'll have the chance she deserves."

He bit his lip Bree may have made sense but there was no harm in talking. He knew he couldn't cross the line with Bonnie and he wouldn't. Placing a kiss to her forehead, he quickly dashed off looking for Bonnie

He had found Bonnie just before she made her way over to her friends and quickly snatched her up before pulling her into one of the rooms that were deemed off limits to Caroline and her stupid party.

"Damon what the hell!" I say pushing him away from me, why was he so freaking close.

"I know-I'm sorry you looked like you were really starting to enjoy this music." He says pausing as he suddenly feels nervous which never really happens when he's with anyone. "I wanted to make sure you were ok, after the kiss and all." He says hitching the side of his mouth up into a smirk. "I know I rocked your world." He says trapping her with his body. It was like second nature for him to be this close to her, even when he was trying to stay away-he first instinct was to keep her close. "So-I just wanted to make sure you were ok." He says licking his dry lips.

I look up at him a smirk of my own on my lips. "I'm fine, what's a kiss between friends anyway?" I say slowly as I feel his eyes dancing all over me. I didn't get Damon he was just with Bree not five minutes ago and now he had me pressed against some corner. I just wanted to have fun that's all, nothing else.

"Friends?" he repeats though the words sound so foreign to him.

"Yeah." I say pushing away from him. "You should get back to Bree." I say heading for the door before pausing to look back at him. "And for the record you've yet to rock my world the way you think you have." I say before leaving him all alone to ponder my words.

BB-BB-BB

No sooner then I had returned to the party had I found my friends and that was when the real party began. It appeared that everything was indeed good between Kol and Melissa so I had relaxed and let the music take over me. I had loved dancing it had made me feel so free and most of the inhibitions had always disappeared when I was dancing. Loud music thumped throughout the Salvatore ballroom, and traveled up and down my body as if I were the source. The sultry music had me twisting and turning while I danced alongside Caroline and two other guys whose names I can't quite remember.

Briefly I looked up and caught sight of Kol and Melissa who were dancing together but not together. I felt heated eyes on me and caught sight of Damon cup in hand eyes glued to me while Bree was talking to a group of people. I don't really have time to blink when I feel two strong arms wrap around me. I feel my heart beat up and soon it's calmed when I hear the familiar soothing voice of Stefan Salvatore.

"Don't you look sinfully sweet?" Stefan says while holding her close to him. He had been trying to keep his distance from the petite beauty all night but the moment he saw Damon break the one rule they had for the night, which was to let Bonnie come to them, he had decided it was time to come to her. It wasn't like he was trying to get her to fall in love with him, he just liked being around her she made him feel good and he liked that feeling.

"Stefan, I'm so glad to see you!" I say turning in his arms. I had seen just about everyone I had known except for Stefan and now I had gotten to see those dancing gray eyes.

He couldn't help but grin as she granted him with the easiest of smiles. If he hadn't noticed before he had noticed now just how pretty she was, whenever she smiled her face lit up and it in turn made him want to smile just as much. "Well then I guess it's a good thing we found each other." He says pausing to grip her hand and place a kiss to it. "You know all night I've been telling myself to keep my distance and watch you from afar. But I'm really glad I'm up and close with you now."

I pushed at his chest. "You were watching me?"

He felt his body warm and if he could he would be blushing. "Well yeah. You're quite the social butterfly and then theirs the dancing...the way you move its reveling." He admits almost shyly.

I couldn't help but smile, Stefan was cute. I placed my hands on his cheeks. "Aww Stefan are you blushing?"

He looked down and shook his head before looking into her green eyes.

I smiled again. "Since you like seeing me dance so much you're in luck I happen to love this song." I say dragging him in the direction of the middle of the dance floor.

"I don't dance." he says standing his ground.

"You do now." I say starting to move to the music and soon I feel Stefan following suite.

DS-DS-DS

Damon

Across the room he had watched as his brother and Bonnie had enjoyed dancing to the music. If he weren't so bitter he's say the two of them had looked really nice together. Stefan was attempting to dance and Bonnie was attempting to show him how to do so. He shook his head in distaste, an insect had more rhythm then his little brother Stefan had yet to learn that it was all in the hips with everything.

"Are you enjoying my party Damon?"Caroline asked as she stood next to the brooding vampire. The party had been a success everyone had loved her and people were generally having a good time except well Damon but really he didn't count because he was always pissed about something.

He spares her a glance. "I will once these worthless people are out of my house." he says tipping his cup back and finishing the contents. Once he finished he goes back to watching Bonnie and Stefan.

She rolls her eyes. "Does that include Bonnie?" she asked with an arch brow. "I saw you with her tonight and you've been glaring at your brother for the past three songs." she points out.

He glares her way. "Whatever you think you know, you don't."

Caroline sucks her teeth and mentally counts to ten before speaking. "When was the last time you saw your brother smile? Its been a long time yet now he's smiling because of Bonnie. Why do you have to rain on his parade- you had your own fun so why can't he?" she said knowing that it would only be a couple more seconds before Damon being Damon ruined his brothers good time.

He nearly chokes on his tongue at her words and tears his eyes away from where Bonnie had been with his brother to look her way. Just as he was about to say something they hear a familiar voice that causes both of them to stop glaring at each other to look in the direction.

"I hope I'm not too late for the party, my apologies I had some personal business to take care" Klaus says a smile on his rosy lips.

Caroline is the first to speak. "You weren't invited to this party."

Klaus smirks. "Well Caroline, I'm never invited to these types of parties, yet I always find my way into them don't I." he says his eyes bored before looking over at Damon who had his chest stuck out. As always Damon had proved to be dramatic as usual.

He gritted his teeth at the mere sight of Klaus and here he had hoped that the original somehow died or at least got lost at sea. "Damn, I thought you died." he says snapping his finger. "As Caroline had said you weren't invited which means you need to take your old ass home."

Klaus does nothing but chuckle. "Of course I'll go home, but first I want my wife." he says his voice no longer light and playful. "I'm here for my wife not to spar with either of you."

Damon looks to Caroline and shrugs. "Have you seen Bonnie, Caroline?"

Caroline shrugs. "Nope!" she says looking to the blond vampire. "Like every other girl in your life she decided to ditch you and kept the ring...smart girl."

Klaus chuckles deep and fully. "you lot are really amusing. I know for a fact that my wife is here, because you see Bonnie is not home, and where Bonnie goes, Melissa follows and where Melissa goes Kol is not to far behind." he says looking at the two vampires. "But I'll play along, because by the end of the night, she'll come home to me." he says looking to Damon, before turning to around.

He watches as Klaus walks out the door before following him against Caroline advice. When he gets outside he see's Klaus leaning against a tree as if he were waiting for him.

"You made a big mistake leaving your wife for all those weeks." he says watching as the Englishman smirks his way.

"You would think so, wouldn't you Damon." Klaus says his voice dipping into a whisper. "Let me tell you something, my wife is mine and mine alone, and soon you'll realize it."

Damon chuckles. "She'll never be truly yours and soon you'll realize it." he says mimicking the original. "We will fight for her." he says knowing that together he and Stefan can save Bonnie.

Klaus smiles. "You don't want to go to war with me, but if you do remember one thing," he says reaching for the vampire and crushing his hand. "I always win." he says darkly.
