Authors Note:

After being encouraged to continue my story I thought I should update with Chapter 2. This chapter is dedicated to a girl named Stacie and also to Chaosinchains91 to whom were my first reviewers, so to them a huge thank you.

Hope you enjoy the story guys and if you do please let me know

I do not own the vampire diaries just using the characters.

"So do we pack clothes?" Bonnie asked Caroline, confused with the layout of the event.

"No, our new owners provide our costumes, apparently its really only essentials we need". Caroline said in a matter of fact tone as she continued to pack her make-up and hair curlers.

"Yeah sure thing Care..." Elena laughed eyeing the materialistic items.

The three girls were preparing for the next two weeks ahead of them, It was strange to think they would not see each other for so long nor would they be attending school, as the whole town practically shut down for the event. Everyone was involved some way or the other to ensure boundaries were kept in order and that no one was mis-treated or given unfair advantages.

The whole ordeal seemed absurd to Bonnie Bennett, but then again Mystic Falls was a funny little town that found strange ways to entertain itself. Perhaps that is why it attracts so much supernatural activity Bonnie thought to herself as she finished her packing.

"Is every one ready" Caroline asked, taking the mothering role was something she enjoyed doing.

"Yes" Elena gulped. It was all so real now she thought, leaving to stay with a person who would own the rights to her and would have the ability to control how her day panned out simply because they bought her, it frightened her.

"As we will ever be" Bonnie replied dryly in hopes of masking her own fear.-

Kol Mikealson sat at the bar in the grill, that for some reason appeared to be jam packed with humans. Humans he thought to himself, Simple minded creatures easy to dispose of when he needed to let off steam, eat or basically cure boredom. The excitement in the place was buzzing around and the volume was reaching a white noise level so much so it was almost starting to annoy Kol. When it dawned upon him that tonight must be the night of that pathetic little auction for the towns Princess's or Paupers event, ridiculous really that a town with such rich heritage would celebrate it in such a cheap way. Nevertheless Kol was itching for entertainment and the thought of having a human play toy for the next fortnight amused him... "Perhaps this could work in my favour" he replied to his thoughts aloud.

Just then the lights dimmed and Liz Forbes Stood up and after welcomes were initiated she then continued to explain the event further and begin the anticipated process of bidding.

"Okay everybody; by definition a Pauper is known as a peasant and lives to serve the richer calibre due to their poorness, they are also eligible for public charity". Liz gave the crowd time to analyse this before continuing.

"It is therefore stated in the rules that the paupers must work for their new masters and obey their commands with loyalty as they serve them".

"The definition of a princess states a woman of high status and descends from royalty". Liz again waited for the crowd to take in this information. " Thus those who are purchasing a Princess must serve them and treat them as though they are royalty".

Bonnie laughed at the insane differences between the two titles of status, trust Caroline to rope them into something like this...

After the basic rules of Do;s and Do Not's were taken care of i.e Do not put people out of their comfort zones, ask them to or perform any sexual behaviour towards anyone and do not put their lives in danger. Followed by Do feed the person you are given, Do allow them some free time and Do let them have a full 8 Hours of sleep. The bidding began.

The "Princesses" were up first and as Caroline had suggested they were rare seeing that only herself and Rebeckah were chosen. They stood there under the glaring light of the stage staring out at the audience with fake smiles in hope to sell themselves to the wealthy bachelors that they both hoped so desperately were here tonight. Get a grip Caroline. Caroline sighed as her insecurities were beginning to creep out until Rebekah opened her mouth.

"Good Luck Love, you'll need it" she smirked in all her accented glory.

"As if you are even a threat Rebekah, it is so on" Caroline quipped back original bitch she snarled in her mind.

"Okay Ladies and Gentlemen let the bidding begin, First up Rebekah Mikealson" Liz stared the night off.

The crowd roared as young and old men's arms flew up into the air screaming their offers towards the stage like hungry caged animals being tormented by a juicy steak. Rebekah loved the attention and begun strutting around the stage blowing kisses and flipping her hair as she went.

"You see that Forbes, everyone just adores me in this town" she giggled at the audience as their bids swung into the hundreds category.

"Compulsion is cheating Rebekah" Caroline snapped as she observed several men with a glassy look in their eyes.

Kol rolled his eyes at the charade Rebekah was pulling off, his annoyance growing, all he wanted was a play thing couldn't they hurry the entire thing along a little?

Thats when he saw Stefan Salvatore, a wicked smile spread along his face.

As the bids soared higher men began trying to take out the competition and soon enough punches were flying between friends over the blonde and dangerous bombshell. Stefan Salvatore stepped out from the crowd as shouted above the roaring noise a sum of $800 and instantly the audience fell silent in disbelief as Stefan claimed his "Prize".

The smirk from Rebekah's face was immediately knocked off when he extended his arm for her to take, "Well this is a surprise"she giggled gleefully before taking his arm and kissing his cheek.

Kol laughed to himself, Bekah really was quite gullible when it came to love and the younger Salvatore brother or maybe it was her love for Stefan?

The bidding process began again but for a much shorter period of time as Klaus stepped into the Grill and claimed Caroline for $1000 which sent a frenzy around the room as random women swooned over the gesture. Although to Bonnie's dismay her friend didn't appear too happy with her suitor and she only hoped Klaus wouldn't push her too far.

The paupers were to be called next, Elena and Bonnie were back stage whispering as their nerves kicked in. Why had she agreed to this ridiculous project Bonnie mentally cursed herself for being so easily manipulated by her friends. Time was dragging on and the vast amounts of Paupers were selling quickly, it appeared everyone in Mystic Falls enjoyed the idea of being served. Prices were ranging from $200 to well into the thousands category and it was only a matter of time until her and Elena were to be separated.

Elena was next on stage, her heartbeat pacing through her slim body as the numbers slowly crept higher.

Kol thought about it, the young doppelganger as a temporary slave did appeal to him. It would certainly annoy his elder brother Elijah and that was certainly an added bonus. She could easily be compelled even with her new vampire status. He focused on the idea of purchasing the girl, Alana her name was or Lana or Lena... Elena that was it not that it would matter really. Kol searched through the idea of this some more until something caught his eye.

At the side of the stage, a young caramel coloured girl stood engrossed with the happenings on the stage. It appeared she was a friend of the doppelganger and was nervous for her friend. Kol was much too interested in the way the mysterious girl bit her lip gently that he missed his chance in bidding and Elena was snatched up by Damon Salvatore, although at this point Kol was beyond caring.

He stared at the girl intensely as she stepped up on stage with shaking hands. He was so very intrigued by her but more importantly he wanted her...

AN: So should I keep going...

Will Kol get her or has someone else also noticed Bonnie Bennett
