*Juliet's POV*

I woke up at 6:30, as I usually did. I hadn't gotten much sleep that night - I kept dreaming about that man, well, vampire. In the dream he attacked me, only this time no one came to save me. I would try to scream and fight back, but I couldn't. He drained the blood from my body just before everything went black.

I shuddered at the thought. I didn't fear many things, but one thing I did fear was death.

I ran a hand through my messy hair. It clung to the sweat on the back of my neck and my forehead - I hadn't realized that I was sweating. I took a few deep breaths to slow my pounding heartbeat.

Pulling the comforter off me, I sat on the edge of my bed and let my legs hang over the side. I was debating whether I should talk to Kol about what had happened last night.

Part of me, the rational part, told me that I should avoid him, that he was dangerous. But another part of me had a million questions that I desperately sought answers to. I wanted to know how many other vampires there were in this town. I wanted to know who they were. I wanted to know why he couldn't compel me.

I knew that he was dangerous, that he was just as capable of hurting me as the other vampire had been. He scared me, and yet I remember feeling oddly safe sitting next to him in his car. What was that about?

I scoffed. Safe, with a vampire? What the hell was wrong with me? I nearly laughed out loud at my stupidity. Oh God, what was I going to get myself into?

*Kol's POV*

"Get up Kol, it's time for school! We need to leave soon!" Rebekah yelled, knocking loudly on my door.

I sighed, dragging myself out bed, and walked over to open the door. "Alright little sister. Enough with all the shouting." I said, running a hand through my hair. "I'll be ready shortly, just shut up, please."

She huffed and rolled her eyes. "It's not my fault. If you weren't always so lazy, I wouldn't have to yell at you to do anything. I am not going to be late because of your stupidity." she said. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at me.

I rolled my eyes. "School doesn't start for an hour Bekah. Besides, why are you so eager to go? It's not like we're very well liked there thanks to Niklaus and his antics." I said, making sure the last part was loud enough for Klaus to hear me from his room.

Rebekah shot me an annoyed look and unfolded her arms so she could punch me in the shoulder. "Shut up Kol." she muttered through gritted teeth. "Just hurry up." With that, she turned around and went back to her room.

Relieved, I closed the door and pulled some clothes out from my dresser before going into my bathroom to get dressed. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, deep in thought.

I couldn't get her out of head, Juliet. There was something about her. I didn't know her very well and we had only spoken twice, barely even had a full conversation. But there was something about her, a darkness. It was alluring. She was hiding something; I could see it in her eyes. There was sadness and pain hidden under a façade of arrogance and a forced smile. I wanted to know more about her.

Perhaps that was why I had saved her. She was human, beautifully so. I knew what I would have normally done. I'd lure her in with my looks and my charm. I would have flirted with her and maybe kissed her, but then, I would have fed on her. That would end up going one of two ways: the first being that I would feed on her for a bit, stop, compel her to forget me, heal her with my blood, and send her on her merry way. The second was less desirable. I would have fed on her, only I wouldn't have stopped. I would have drained the blood from her body, felt her heart as it slowed and listened to her take her last breath before the life left her body.

But I hadn't done either of those things. I had saved her from certain death and I took her home, safe and sound. At least I used mind compulsion to make her to forget what had happened.

I scoffed. I wasn't anyone's hero. Hell, I was the villan, the devil, a predator. People quaked in fear at the mere sound of my name. They knew of the things I had done and the things I was capable of doing. I wasn't a good person, by any means.

But this girl, this beautifully human girl, had made me do something I wouldn't have normally done. She was special, both darkness and light. I didn't know the exact reason for my actions, but there was one thing I was sure of: I wanted to know her.

I pulled myself from my thoughts, turning on the sink and splashing water on my face. "Snap out of it you fool. Stop thinking like this! You aren't yourself. You aren't a hero - you are a vampire, a monster, a killer. You aren't good, so stop trying to be." my subconscious screamed at me.

I sighed, turning off the water and drying my face off. I looked back at my reflection. I both loved and loathed what I saw. On the surface, I saw a very handsome young man with messy brown hair and deep brown eyes that made girls weak in the knees. But deeper I saw what I truly was: a monster.

I looked away from my reflection, it mocked me. I got quickly dressed and left the room.

*Juliet's POV*

I went into the kitchen. The house was eerily silent. There was a note sitting on the counter that read: "Had to go to work early. Your tea and breakfast is on the table, sorry if it's cold. See you tonight. Love, Mum." I put the scrap of paper down and went over to the table to eat my breakfast.

I thought about what exactly I was going to talk to Kol about. I wanted answers, but I was worried about angering him. After seeing what he had easily done to that other vampire, I knew that he could do much worse to me. He had saved me thought, so maybe I would be fine. Maybe he could be reasonable and give me some answers. That's all I wanted - I hated not knowing things.

I put my fork down on my now empty plate and pushed my chair out, leaving my dirty dishes on the counter. I went to my room to get my things before I left for school.

When I arrived at school I got out and walked up the stairs and through the doors. I looked around the crowded lobby, my eyes searching for Kol. Finally, I found him. He eyed me curiously as a approached him. He stood tall, leaning back onto one of the lockers. He smirked, making the butterflies return to my stomach. "Hello again Juliet, darling."

I supressed the urge to roll my eyes at him. "Hello Kol." I said. With a shaky hand, I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. I took a deep breath before I spoke again. "I need to talk to you." I took a cautious step closer to him.

He raised an eyebrow. "Alright then, talk." he said, slipping a hand into his pocket while running the other hand through his hair. He looked so casual and, though I wouldn't say this out loud, he looked really...attractive.

I chewed my bottom lip nervously. "Umm...can we talk somewhere a bit less...crowded?" I asked. I looked up at him with my best attempt at a composed face. I half-smiled, trying to act as casual as he was.

He cocked his head to the side ever so slightly, taking in my appearance and considering my tone. "Alright. Follow me." He said. He stood up straight and led me down the hall.

I couldn't believe that I was actually trusting a vampire. For all I knew he could be going somewhere to kill me, some place where no one could hear me scream. I swallowed hard. Hopefully this wouldn't come back to bite me - pun intended.

A.N.- So, what'd you think? I hope Kol didn't seem OOC when I wrote a bit from his point of view. I really want everyone to seem like they do in the show! I'll be updating again next weekend since I'm finally back in school after being out for a while from snow. Anyway, I hope you all liked this chapter. Thanks for reading! Be sure to review, follow and favorite this story if you want. I appreciate it. Bye (:
