My Light In The Dark

by smartelic14

Aimee returns to Mystic Falls hoping to reconnect with her best friend, Elena Gilbert. Instead, she connects to her boyfriend's brother. Klaus, a vampire/werewolf hybrid who has only a shred of humanity left, has dark motives concerning Aimee, and when the youngest Mikaelson brother becomes involved, Aimee is pulled into a dark place against her will. Who will pull her out?

10. Ulterior Motives

Aimee jolted awake and screamed. She was still in her bed, not in the forest. It was only a dream.
Breathing heavily, she put a hand to her neck, where the bite was almost healed up, but that didn't excuse what Kol did. She needed to call Danielle. She needed to make sure she was okay. But Klaus would never return her phone, and there was only one person who would take amusement in deceiving their brother and not care if they got caught…and that was Kol. Rebekah busted through the door in panic and anger.

"Where is he?" She asked roughly.

"It wasn't Kol. I just had a nightmare…it felt so real." She told Rebekah about her nightmare, and about
asking Kol to get her phone back from Klaus. Rebekah shrugged.

"You could try it, but I can't promise he won't ask for anything in return."

"Okay, wait here. You'll know if I need help." Aimee looked around the mansion for Kol, finally finding him
in the library playing the Xbox. He seemed to be putting all of his attention into the game, she wondered
if he even heard her come in. She hated to admit it, but he looked really cute focusing on the screen like
that.

"Are you going to say what you need to say or keep staring?" And there goes the cuteness flying right
out the window. He smirked. Aimee rolled her eyes, wishing he couldn't read her like an open book.

"I was just wondering if you would do me a small favor." She asked and he paused the game to face her.

"Depends on what it is." He raised an eyebrow.

"I need you to steal my phone back from Klaus." He chuckled.

"Why would I do that? Why not ask your best friend Rebekah?"

"Rebekah doesn't wanna get caught, and I know you won't care if he catches you." Kol nodded and
folded his arms across his chest.

"Alright, I'll do it…but I'll need something in return." Aimee took a deep breath.

"I thought you might say that." She moved her hair from her neck. "Here." Kol shook his head and
walked up to her.

"I've already had that. I want something else." He fixed her hair back to where it was. His games were
beginning to frustrate her.

"Well what do you want then?"

"Go on a date with me."
