Thank you for everyone that has been reading this story. It's crazy for me to see that people are reading this from all over the world. I hope you all enjoy it!

I don't own any of the vampire diaries characters or lines.

We are picking up from where we left off. Klaus just interrupted some Stebekah time.

"It's late Rebekah we're leaving" Klaus grabbed Rebekah's arm and pulled her to stand up.

"Nik, get your hand off me!" Rebekah said. Did he have to ruin a perfect moment? Rebekah wondered.

"Who is this guy?" Stefan asked. He took a step closer to Klaus hoping to show Rebekah that he was the better guy. Stefan wasn't sure why, but he wanted to continue whatever he had going with Rebekah. She made the amazing time he was having in Chicago even better.

Klaus was furious to find that his sister was not at home waiting for him like he told her to in his letter to her that morning, and then to see this buffoon trying to challenge him. He is the original.

"No, Stefan, don't he'll kill you," she pushed Stefan back. Stefan hoped that she wasn't playing him. He prayed that this wasn't her boyfriend or husband. He prayed that Rebekah wasn't in a relationship with this man. Stefan did see a man's things at Rebekah's apartment when he was over earlier, but there was a room with the door shut that he didn't see into.

"He's a lot stronger than he looks," Rebekah said. She looked her brother right in the eye. She was upset at him. Could he not let her have one night on her own?

Stefan put his hand on Rebekah's shoulder to show her that he was there to support her.

"So this is the famous Stefan Salvatore I have been hearing so much about. You're right Rebekah, he does have funny hair." Klaus said.

Stefan gave a little chuckle. He was confused on who this guy was. Rebekah seemed comfortable with him, and she wanted to protect Stefan from him.

"I'm bored. I want to go," Klaus said. He hadn't been their long, he didn't even talk to Gloria yet, but he did not want his only sister to sleep with Stefan Salvatore.

"Then go without me, I'm not your girlfriend" Rebekah said challenging her brother. Stefan let out a small sigh of relief. He figured that the man must be one of her brothers which wasn't much comfort to him because that means that he is probably very strong. If Stefan didn't get this man to like him, then Stefan would find himself in a lot of trouble.

"No you're my sister. Which means you have to do as I say," Klaus grabbed Rebekah and pulled her to his side.

Klaus looked at Stefan challenging him. Stefan was smart enough not to pick a fight there in front of a bunch of humans.

Stefan felt terrible, but he let Klaus walk away with his sister. Klaus dragged Rebekah out of the speakeasy. Stefan was confused why Rebekah would let her brother have so much power over her.

Stefan decided to follow them out, but a rush of people got between them. He saw the siblings on the other side of the dance floor. They were moving at human pace in order not to draw attention to them.

The dance floor was very busy as Gloria and the band were playing an upbeat jazz song. Stefan slowly made his way through the crowd, swerving in and out of couples.

"Mr. Salvatore, where are you going?" an older lady said. She frequented Gloria's with her much younger gold digger husband. She grabbed Stefan's arm with a tight grip for a human. The lady tried to pull Stefan onto the dance floor to have a dance.

He compelled her to leave him alone and when he looked away from the woman, he didn't see Rebekah or her brother.

Once Stefan made it outside of the speakeasy he caught Rebekah's scent. He used his vampire speed to run to the end of the block. He saw them walking, still at human pace, a few streets down. Klaus still had a tight hold on Rebekah's arm, but Rebekah wasn't struggling against him.

As to not get the original brother angry, Stefan ran at a human pace towards them. "Wait, Rebekah, Nik," Stefan said as he caught up with them.

"Oh look, little sister, you forgot to compel him," Klaus said still walking. He looked down at Rebekah.

Rebekah tried to tell Stefan not to be stupid with her eyes. She pleaded that Stefan would make Klaus understand. She didn't want her brother to kill yet another man she fancied.

"I wanted to introduce myself in hope that you would let me take Rebekah out tomorrow night," Stefan said. He stretched out his hand, "Stefan Salvatore."

Klaus stopped and turned to face Stefan. "I already know who you bloody are," Klaus said. He didn't accept Stefan's hand.

"Come on man, I won't tell anyone that you are an original vampire." Stefan said. Rebekah cringed when he said this. She knew that her brother would be upset that she told her family history to a baby vampire. She knew that Nik would take it as a sign that Mikael would be able to find them.

"You can't stay away from the riff-raff," Klaus said to Rebekah. He was glad that this one had some sort of a back bone.

"Please Nik, he's a good guy. I promise I will only go to Gloria's," Rebekah said. "I can protect myself, and you would most likely be there most nights anyway."

Klaus looked at Rebekah. He saw that she was growing up. He saw that she just wanted a normal life. But it was his job to protect his younger sister. Klaus wanted to make sure that Stefan Salvatore was on their side and he would remain so if Mikael got in the picture.

"Tomorrow, Rebekah and I will be going to Gloria's together. If you want to join us, you may," Klaus said. "But if you enjoy your life, I would highly consider not going."

"Thank you," Rebekah said before she kissed her brother on his cheek.

Rebekah left Klaus's side to go over to Stefan. She whispered in his ear that she would see him tomorrow. She then kissed his cheek. Stefan brought his hand to Rebekah's arm running it up and down. Stefan wanted to do so much more, but he decided against it since her older brother was there. He would have plenty of time in the future if he got Klaus' approval.

Neither wished that they had to leave, but they had the hope of seeing each other again tomorrow.
