~ OMG, So I got two chapters done before their dates in a row :) That's exciting for me.
~ I couldn't stop writing this chapter and plus I wanted to get it up before I went to school, no matter how late I ended up staying up.
~ I don't want to say anything about the chapter, but what I can say is that I don't think I've ever liked writing a chapter more than when I was writing this one.

ENJOY!

Chelsea's POV

I walked up to Stefan's doorway to see Rebekah standing in front of his mirror with her dress on.
"Getting a head start?" I asked Rebekah. She turned around to face me. At the same time I could sense Elena walking up behind me.
"Embarrassing truth? This is my first high school dance." My eyes went a little wide with what Rebekah said.
"Ever?" I wondered out loud. Rebekah turned around to the mirror and I took a couple of steps into Stefan's room.
"I didn't really have time for high school before. Nik and I were always moving around, running. Anyway, I didn't want to leave anything to chance." Rebekah took a pause as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"You look nice." I said with a smile. Through the reflection in the mirror I could see Rebekah smile.
"Have you heard anymore from him?"
"No." Elena said from behind me.
"When he does return he'll do it with flair." I couldn't help but say with a smirk.

"And Damon and my father are all served with their plan?" Rebekah asked us.
"Yes." Elena said at the same time that I nodded. Rebekah started to turn towards us.
"Don't tell me. I don't want to know, I just," Rebekah took a couple of steps towards me. ", I just want to go to the dance and leave the rest to Mikael." She picked up a bracelet and put it on her wrist.
"I know it's really hard. So thank you for helping us get Klaus back into town." Elena said as she stepped closer to Rebekah.
"Just be careful. I've been running for a thousand years for a reason. Mikael is not a good person and he definitely can't be trusted." Rebekah turned her head to me. "No one in my family can." I looked at Rebekah, seeing her expression.
"Are you okay?" I asked, seeing the emotion in her eyes.
"I've spent my whole life loving and hating my brother with equal measure." She took a deep breath. "I never thought that I'd be the one to help drive a stake through his heart." She slightly shook her head before turning around to the mirror. "No tears, I don't want to ruin my makeup." I slightly smiled.
"You look amazing." Elena said with made me turn my head to her in slight disbelief. "But you're missing one thing." Rebekah turned around to see Elena, holding the necklace.
"My mother's necklace." Rebekah said.
"You should wear it."
"I'll take that as my cue." I said to them. "I'll see you at the dance." I said to Rebekah before using my vampire speed to go to my room.

The first thing I did when I got into my room was connect my phone to my speaker and basically blasted Ke$ha. I liked the beat to her music. As her music played, I took my time setting my stuff on my bed. The light green dress that Elena had picked out, Rebekah had snuck into my room while we were preparing the weapons. I set some green earrings, to match the dress, next to it and I also put a group of silver bangles next to the earrings. I started to sing the lyrics in my head as I went into my closet to find some shoes to with the dress.
"Looking for something?" Damon whispered into my ear.
"Just some shoes." I said to him without turning around.
"Look on your bed." He said which made me turn around. I looked at my bed and there on it were a pair of black, high heeled, strap sandals. I looked at Damon.
"More gifts?" I asked him.
"Well, if you don't want them..." He said with a smirk.
"I never said I didn't want them. Thanks."
"You're welcome Chelsea." Damon kissed me on the cheek. "You should hurry and shower..." Damon started to whisper in my ear. "I can't wait to see you in the dress." I couldn't help but smile and roll my eyes at the same time. "Unless you want me to join you in the shower." 'Typical Damon' I thought.
"No." I looked at Damon. "I'd rather shower and change by myself."
"Party pooper."
"I know." I said with a smirk before walking around Damon and into my bathroom. Even with the door closed I could still hear the music.

I walked out of my bathroom with a towel around my body and one holding my hair up. I went over to my phone, turned off the music, and then set in on my dresser. My hair fell down to my shoulders after I tried to dry it with the towel. Then my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Tyler.

"Hey Ty." I said as I answered it.
"Hey, Chelsea. I have something to tell you."
"Okay, can you wait a minute? I wanna put you on speaker phone."
"Why? Is anyone else with you?"
"No. I'm actually still getting ready."
"Okay." Tyler said before I put him on speaker phone. I set my phone back on my dresser.
"So..." I started as I looked in one of my drawers. "What did you want to tell me."
"The gym is flooded."
"What?" I asked him as I pulled a couple of things out of my drawer. "Does this means the dance is canceled?" I picked up my phone and carried it with me into the bathroom."Yeah, you wish." I slightly smiled as I set my phone down on the counter.
"You know me so well Ty." I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
"I'm moving it to my place." I started to put my undergarments on.
"That's good I guess."
"You sound so excited Chelsea." I could hear Tyler chuckle a little.
"Hey, I originally didn't want to go." I said as I picked up my phone and took him off of speaker phone. "But Rebekah is kind of forcing me to go so..."
"So it's not about seeing me in a suit?"
"You wish." I smirked. "I'll see you later." I said to Tyler before I ended the call and tossed my phone onto my bed. I stood for a second, looking on my dress before I picked it up.

I walked into Tyler's house and there was a lot of people there. 'There has to be more than who just goes to our school' I thought as I managed to squeeze my way out to Tyler's back yard. 'Wow'' I mouthed when I saw how the yard looked.

"Hey, Chels." Tyler said as he walked up behind me.
"Hey." I said as he stood next to me. We stood there for a minute, watching the band, before Stefan walked up behind us.
"Nice party." Stefan said to Tyler.
"Thanks man, but I'm not the one throwing it." Tyler turned to face both me and Stefan. "I'm just doing what Klaus wants."
"What do you mean?" Stefan asked Tyler.
"It's not a party, man. It's a wake." Tyler turned to face the stage again.
"Should have figured that." I whispered out loud as I watched Klaus walk up to the mic.
"Good evening everyone." The crowd spoke as Klaus spoke into the mic. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "I wanna thank you for being here with me to celebrate. It's been a long time coming." Klaus looked at me and Stefan with a smirk on his face.

Klaus walked up to me and Stefan with two beer bottles in his hands.
"Want a drink?" Klaus asked me and he held out a bottle.
"Why not." I took it from his hands and took a sip.
"Quite a homecoming." Stefan said to Klaus, who had taken a sip from his bottle.
"I've been planning my father's funeral for a thousand years." Klaus started to walk, so Stefan and I started to follow him. "Granted, in no version of it were any of these people invited, but you get the idea."
"So, what now? Stop running?" Klaus slowed down a bit and eventually turned around to me and Stefan.
"Now I reunite my family."
"You mean the people you carry around with you in caskets?" I asked
"None of that matters anymore." Klaus said as he looked at me before looking at Stefan. "Mikael is gone. Bygones will be bygones." There was a pause as Klaus watched a person walk by us. "Seems the Homecoming Queen still walks among the living, which leads me to believe Rebekah isn't here." Klaus looked between me and Stefan. "Where is she?"
"I don't know." I told Klaus. "She should be here." Klaus turned to Stefan.
"Where is my sister, Stefan?"
"I have no idea. I thought she was coming with Matt."
"Oh, be honest now, Stefan."
"I said I have no idea." 'Where is she?' I thought. "Now how would you like me to take you to your father?" I took another sip from the bottle
"Well, it wouldn't be a party without the guest of honor, would it?" Klaus smirked. "Bring him to me."
"All right. Perhaps there's something in it for me?" I looked up to Stefan, slightly confused. "My freedom from your compulsion?"
"Oh, you want your freedom." I could tell that Klaus has smirked a little. "Well, once he is dead and his weapon destroyed you'll have your freedom. It'll be my pleasure to give it back." Stefan nodded his head and walked away. 'Well, this is going to be an interesting night.' I thought.

"So, where's your boyfriend?" Klaus asked me.
"Honestly? No clue." I answered him before taking another sip.
"I take it that there's trouble in paradise?" I couldn't help slightly roll my eyes.
"Yeah, but why would that matter?" I asked Klaus, looking at him. I could tell that his eyes were studying my face.
"What did he do?" I thought for a moment, debating rather or not to tell him.
"Why would you want to know?"
"Curiosity." He said with a smirk.
"Fine." I finally said. "He hid my parent's death from me." I told him calmly before taking another sip. "You, know what? I need a real drink." I said to Klaus.
"Follow me." Klaus started walking through the crowed and I decided to follow him. 'At least I'm keeping him occupied.' I couldn't help but think.

I had followed Klaus behind the stage. He turned to me.
"Wait here." Klaus went back out into the crowd only to returned with a person. I looked at the person before looking to Klaus. "You wanted a real drink." He said to me with a smirk.
"I would have been fine with a blood bag, but..." I didn't finish my sentence. Instead I bit into the neck and drank some blood. I lifted my head from the neck, without taking enough to kill and wiped the blood from my mouth.
"Interesting." Klaus said as he looked at me.
"What?"
"Nothing." 'You expect me to believe that?' I thought before starting to walk away.

Klaus walked up behind me.
"Why did you do it?" Klaus asked me.
"Do what?" I asked him as we continued to walk through the crowd. Klaus grabbed my arm and turned me around.
"Why did you turn it off?" 'He believes it.' I thought.
"Same reason Damon and I are having problems." I lied. "Nobody told me about my parent's until after I found out. Now, if you let me go, I have to talk to Tyler." I continued to lie to Klaus.
"What a coincidence, so do I." He said with a smirk before I turned around and started to walk away from him, but he followed me.

"Hey, Tyler." I said as I spotted Tyler by some of his stairs in his yard.
"You with Klaus now?" He asked me as Klaus and I walked up to him.
"No, he's resorted to stalking me." I couldn't help but say with a smirk.
"You know my mom would seriously freak if she saw all these people here."
"Your mother won't be a problem. I compelled her to go to church and pray for your friends."
"What you're talking about?" I asked before Tyler had the chance.
"I want you to look around." Klaus said to Tyler before pointing behind us "There is Bonnie, there's Elena and Matt," Klaus pointed to Elena and Matt. ", and there's your pretty little girlfriend Caroline." Tyler and I turned to face Klaus. "Epic dance was wrecked tonight and who came through with the party? You did. What a pal." Klaus smirked before raising his hand in a circular motion. "But who are all these other people here?"
"I have no idea. I've never seen half these people in my life."
"That's because I've invited a few dozen friends of my own."
"You don't have friends." I couldn't help but say out loud to Klaus. He glared at me for a moment before turning around to show us some people. "That`s my friend Mindy, picked her up along the way in Kansas." Klaus looked at Tyler and I. "Did you know that there's an entire bloodline of werewolves in the heartland?" Klaus pointed to someone else. "That's Tony from North Dakota and let's not forget the Seattle contingent."
"Hold on, are those people all hybrids?" Tyler asked Klaus.
"And they also love a good party. And they're like you sired by me, they wish to serve their master." Klaus looked between Tyler and I. "So if anyone should so much as make a move against me, they may feel obligated to return it. You're free to warn your friends." Klaus turned to me after Tyler walked away from us.

"Care for a dance?" He held out his hand.
"I've never danced at a wake before." I said to Klaus, looking at him.
"First time for everything." He said with a smirk before I grabbed his hand. Klaus pulled me close to his chest and placed his hands on my hips. He started to sway me to the slow song that was starting to play.
"If it means anything, I wouldn't have kept your parent's death a secret." I looked at Klaus. "That's not something that should be kept secret." I almost didn't know what to say.
"Doesn't matter know, does it?" I asked him as we danced. Klaus didn't say anything. I wasn't looking at him, but I could tell that he was looking at my face.
"I have to go to the bathroom." I ended up blurting out before we stopped dancing and I started to walk away from Klaus. I needed to get a way from him for a little bit.

As I walked up to the door I bumped into someone.
"Sorry." I looked at saw it was Elena, but it didn't seem like her.
"It's okay Chelsea." I stared at her for a moment before looking back at Klaus and then looking back at her. I brought my head closer to her ear. "I know it's you, Kat." I said in a whisper. I looked at her face. "Don't worry, I won't tell." I said with a smirk before walking into Tyler's house.

I took a deep breath before looking at myself in the mirror. There as still a little smudge of blood on he corner of my mouth, so I wiped it away. 'It should be over soon' I thought before looking at myself in the mirror again. 'I can do this' I thought, trying to reassure myself. I slightly shook my head before walking out of the bathroom.

I slowly walked down the stairs. 'Where is everyone?' I thought as I looked around.
"Ba-Boom" 'What?' I thought before almost rushing down the stairs. I stood still when I saw Stefan over Damon and Klaus just laying on the floor. He was looking at a stake 'Must be Mikeal's' I thought before Klaus quickly picked it up and sped towards Mikeal. I took the time to go to Damon and Stefan.
"Chels." Damon managed to say as he saw me stand about him and Stefan. Mikeal's screams could be heard from where I was, but I couldn't take my eyes off of Damon.
"Get off of him Stefan." I said before I tried to push him off. After a few tries I got him off.
"What the hell did you do?" Damon angrily asked Stefan as he sat up. I went to put my hand on Damon's back but he just pushed it away.
"He`s earned his freedom." I looked up to see Klaus walking in. He looked at me with slight curiosity on his face. I turned back to Damon, but he was already gone. 'Why?'' I couldn't help but think before I looked back to Klaus. Stefan was standing next to him. "Thank you my friend. You no longer have to do as I say. You're free." Stefan turned around and looked where Damon once was. Klaus looked at me and I looked at him. I just got up and sped out of there.

I took my time walking back to the boarding house. The plan was ruined, Mikeal is dead, Klaus is still alive, and not to mention ripper Stefan has freedom. The day couldn't get any worse. I can't wait until I get to my room and sleep.
I walked up to to door, but before I opened it, I stopped. I could hear Damon and Elena talking inside.

"Where`s Katherine?" I could hear Elena ask Damon.
"She ran hills like usual, the minute things got bad! And who blames her? Klaus would`ve crushed her. I had him, Elena.I had Klaus! This could have all been over!" I heard the sound of glass breaking.
"Hey. Damon... Hey! Hey, listen to me! We`ll survive this. We always survive. Trust me."
"We`re never getting Stefan back. You know that, don`t you?"
"Then we`ll let him go. Okay? We`ll have to let him go. Him and Chelsea." I couldn't help but gasp. I pushed open the door, which made Elena and Damon look at me.
"Chelsea." Elena said in surprise as she dropped her hands from Damon's neck.
"Oh, by all means, continue. You two have fun together." I said angrily before speeding up to my room.

I had taken off my dress and changed into a tank top and pajama pants. Damon was standing at my doorway as I walked out of the bathroom.
"Go away." I said as I walked to my bed.
"We need to talk." Damon said as I sat on my bed.
"We don't need to talk Damon. You and Elena have decided to let me go, even though I didn't do a damn thing." I said angrily at him.
"Chelsea, let me talk to you." He said, trying to plead with me.
"Why? What do you have to say that will make it better?" I looked at Damon, while it seemed like he was thinking about what to say. "You know what? I'm just gonna go to sleep and pretend this day didn't happen." I focused on Damon, pushed him out with my magic, and closed my door. I pushed back my tears by pushing everything that I was feeling down. I laid my head down on my pillow, closed my eyes, and slowly let the darkness of sleep come over me.

~ I figured that one of the only ways for Chelsea not to hear the 'Rebekah getting daggered' part is for there to be music. Chelsea has an I-phone, so that's how she can see pics on it, play on it, and connect it to speakers that play it.
~ I don't know, right now, if I'm going to have Damon and Chelsea make up, but I know I am going to have more Klaus and Chelsea scenes. Leave your thoughts about that in the reviews, it will help me write better.

* Spoiler Alert*
~Chelsea knows/finds out that Stefan has the coffins.

~Please, leave any and all thoughts about the story in the reviews. I'm thinking, that if the story can reach a total of 25 reviews before the 19th (when the next chapter is scheduled) I might do a filler chapter. I'm thinking because, on the show, there is a few days between the two episodes. I could have a couple of things happen, that is IF I were to type it up and post it.

R&R 'till the next update
