Chapter Fifteen

"So, are you my date for tonight then?"

I looked into the mirror now as Damon walked into the bathroom. I was curling my hair for the 60s dance tonight.

Oh I remembered the 60s. Me and Klaus had gotten drunk at a rave and literally tore the place apart.

But I was seeing him again tonight. I had to look my best so that he knew I wasn't lacking... and that I was genuinely happy to see him.

"Your date?" I snorted, turning to him. "Arent' you going with Katerina (?)"

He raised his hands to my face now and said. "I'd much rather go with you."

That made me frown- was he... falling for me? Hell, I liked the guy, but my heart belonged to Klaus.

"Ok then." I smiled, turning back to the mirror and continued curling my hair, humming under my breath.

"Katherine's gone anyway." he told me, making my eyes widen and cause me to drop the curlers. "Ouch!" I swore as it burnt my hand.

"You fool..." he sighed, raising my hand and kissed my burn as it healed. I pulled it away now, feeling weird. Damon really had fallen in love with me.

Oh the damn idiot! He was going to get himself killed-!

"Can you leave me to get ready now?" I asked him as he kissed my bare shoulder. "Yes, I'll be at the Grill." he kissed my cheek, then left at the same time my phone went off with a text from Maddox.

"Need your help."

I sighed, staring at the text- Klaus wasn't here yet then... that was depressing.

Now I read that I needed to meet Isobel. Her? Urgh... what a skank. Ooh, Elenas mother? That was juicy new news.

"Get her to die or whatever. We don't need her now."

I sighed and typed in a number, listening to the ring, rolling my eyes.

"Hello?"

"We don't need you anymore. What you were compelled to do is now lifted."

I ended the call and ran a hand through my hair- that was that bitch sorted. Now... to get ready for the dance.

-FORSAKEN-

"Have you heard from Alaric?" Elena asked me as she started to get ready too. I shook my head with a frown. "No I haven't." Elena sighed and nodded. "Ok."

She sat down on the bath now, then asked quietly. "What's Klaus like?"

What he's like? You really wanna know my version?

"He's a murderer. A coldblooded killer."

But hell him covered in blood was so damned sexy.

"Thanks for reassuring me (!)" she laughed weakly, and I felt myself frowning- she was going to die in order for Klaus to break the curse... but-? She didn't deserve to die.

Maybe I could make Niklaus spare her somehow...

Bonnie had gotten her powers and was planning to kill Klaus. Hmm. That was going to have to change, but he had already sent me another message-

Meet you on the dancefloor. Relax! Have a chilled day today.

Someone was in a good mood anyway.

Maddox didn't get in touch as well, so it really was a relaxing day, listening to the catch-up crap about Bonnie going to kill herself to kill Klaus, Isobel was, yay! Dead. Quite a good bit to tell my ripper when he met me tonight.

I was almost dragging Damon to the dance later that night.

"Come on! I wanna dance already!" I laughed, but he stopped me inside the door and said. "Klaus is going to be here tonight. Be careful. Please?"

"That sounded like you almost cared about me."

Damon sighed, then went to kiss me, but I slipped from his grip and ran into the crowd laughing.

God these young vampires...

I was sat on a chair now, my phone in my hand, looking around- where was he?

"Want a dance?" Damon asked now as he came over, smiling a little. I shook my head. "Nah. I'm good."

"Well I insist and I'm not taking no as an answer."

He led me onto the dancefloor now, grinning like a lovestruck idiot. Great, just great...

Niklaus was going to rip his head off personally when he found out that he had been persuing me, had sex with me and was now falling in love with me.

The fool!

We danced for a little while, and he even made me start to like it. But then Alaric came up and asked Damon. "Can I cut in?"

Damon frowned, but then nodded. "Sure. But keep an eye out. The prick'll be here somewhere."

Now I was left alone with Alaric, and that made me frown- I didn't really know the guy.

"Close call huh?" he grinned, making me frown as he put his arms around my waist. "Alaric please-" I started, but then that grin widened in such a familiar waty that I stopped trying to pull away, but merely listened as he said quietly into my ear. "I told you I'd meet you on the dancefloor."

"Niklaus..." I sighed now, looking into Alarics eyes. "What are you doing in Alaric? You did pick a hot guy, but come on!"

He went to kiss me now, but I scoffed and said. "Nope. Not while you're in him. Get out and things'll happen."

"I like the sound of that." he said, then sighed. "I have a witch to kill."

"Bonnie?"

"Yes. So please could you stay here out the way? I do not want you getting hurt."

I groaned, then pulled him into the empty hallway and pushed him against the wall.

"Bonnie is here to kill you."

He nodded. "I know. And-! I'm here to kill her. She can't kill me, my Sweet. I assure you."

Now I nodded and closed my eyes, letting him pull me to him as he kissed me. It worked, keeping my eyes closed. Al wasn't a bad kisser, but the hybrid inside him had a thousand years worth of practice.

"I'll see you later." he said softly, kissing my cheek and walking up the corridor alone.

At least my Niklaus was back in town and around me.

God I had missed him so much.

-FORSAKEN-

I went back to the Boarding house early so I didn't have to listen to Bonnie dying, but it got worse when Elena returned, sobbing her heart out.

Yeah, she was dead...

I left the house, taking a walk, wondering where Niklaus was. But, if he was in Alarics body...

As I knocked on his front door, it swung open and I was faced with Katerina, whom I smirked at. "Hello there dear." then walked in, ignoring the bitch.

Alaric, or should I say Klaus? Was sat on the sofa, ankles crossed and a smirk on his own face. "I was wondering when you would find time to visit me."

I sat down next to him and said. "Bonnie's dead."

"I know my Sweet." he grinned, then went to kiss me, but I pushed him away with an "ah-ah! Not in that body you're not."

"You lying cow!"

Now I turned to Katerina who looked like she wanted to rip my head off, and sure enough, she went for me and pulled me onto the floor, grabbing me by my throat, but I kicked her hard and she went flying into the wall, now her pinned down as she tried to push me away. She pushed me hard and I fell backwards, her on top of me as she went to near enough rip my head off, but she screamed so suddenly that she let go, and I soon saw why- there was a stake that had been stabbed into her back, going through her lung like a kebab.

Katerina was now pulled up by her neck as Klaus snarled into her face. "You are not to touch her. Ever again. Or this-" he twisted the stake sharply, making her scream. "Goes somewhere else, and it won't be your heart."

"I won't touch her." she said automatically, and I knew she was being compelled.

Klaus now yanked the stake out, throwing her into the wall the opposite side of the room, a glare in his eye. He now helped me up and sighed, straightening my dress. "You look lovely." he grinned, but I chuckled, leaning forwards and kissing his cheek. "Call me when your back."

Then I turned and left, smirking at Katerina who was glaring at me.

-FORSAKEN-

Back at the Boarding house, I collapsed onto Damons bed with a sigh, closing my eyes for a moment.

"Well, it's been an eventful night." the man himself said now as he came into the room and lay next to me. I sighed. "I left early."

"You missed the fun. Alaric's gone AWOL."

"What?" I frowned, sitting up and looked "shocked." Damon nodded, then groaned. "Klaus has somehow... taken over his body all possession style."

"Was he in him tonight-?"

"Yes... he was."

"But I danced with him! Why didn't he just kill me there and then?"

Damon now climbed onto me and kissed my neck. "I've no idea, but... I'm glad he didn't."

I rolled my eyes. "Damon please. This thing... me and you... it wasn't what I wanted. I didn't come here looking for love."

He just kissed me now, then said softly. "Well you found it."

As he went to kiss me again, I snapped and pushed hard, sending him crashing into the door. "What the hell-!" he hissed at me now, put I picked him up by his shirt and slammed him into the door, pinning him there while I snarled. "Don't love me, Damon. You will get hurt sooner or later. I assure you."

"Well, maybe I like risk." he grinned, but I slapped him. "No! Not this kind of risk."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Look- my guys in the past? They all ended up dead and murdered. Don't do it. Because it will happen. Klaus will kill you to get revenge on me."

Maybe not revenge, but he was a jealous man... and Damon was first in line when Klaus found out I'd slept with him.

"I told you, I like risk." he grinned, pulling me to him so he could kiss me once more. "This is a really big mistake." I told him as I kissed him back. He was a sweetie underneath that cold exterior- much like Klaus...

Maybe that was why I had developed some feelings for the elder Salvatore brother. But I knew what Katerina had done to him... I didn't want to be added to the "bitch list."

I let him push me backwards now and onto the bed, kissing me once more, but things weren't going to go that far again, no matte how much he protested. He bit into my neck now, making me roll my eyes- so very rude of him.

Yeah, if he found out that my heart belonged to Klaus the entire time while he kept making these advances at me...

It'd break his own.

Just like Katerina had done...

And the next:) there will be another up later today:) so, cheers for the reviews so far, and more much loved! x Nicc
