So, six reviews on one chapter is the most I've ever gotten, believe it or not.
~ I actually started writing this chapter when the story had 24 reviews (which was yesterday). There is some stuff in here that I wanted to but in here and a little bit of it actually came from what the reader's want. (As I read in the reviews.)
LillianaKay2011: I am definatly having more Klaus and Chelsea. I think this chapter will show a little about how Damon feels about Chelsea and Klaus.
kari10: I wanted to create a little rift between Damon and Chelsea. She didn't know that if Klaus would die, Damon would die along with him. Her part was only to keep Klaus occupied, but what Damon told Elena before Chelsea started to listen in, might explain why Elena said what she said. I'm not going to say much about Elena's motives, but I can say that they will start to come to light within the next 2 - 4 chapters. I know Chelsea and Damon will, eventually, be on speaking terms, but if they get back together will just depend on much interaction Chelsea has with him and not to mention Klaus.
Avid reader: Thanks so much. I was thinking that Chelsea get's along with Kol. Kol might flirt with Chelsea, and Klaus won't like that. That won't really be until Dangerous Liasions and All My Children. Thanks for the suggestion.
~ It might seem like some of it is rushed, but it's what got typed.
Enjoy!
Chelsea's POV
I laid on my bed, looking at the ceiling, just doing nothing. Nothing felt important enough to jump out of bed for. I lazily reached for my phone, which was sitting on my bedside table, to check the time.
"6:30?" I mumbled to my phone. 'I have to get ready for school.' I thought before setting my phone back down. My eyes blinked a couple of times before I got out of bed.
After I took a quick shower I went into my closet. I picked out some jeans and a happy bunny T-shirt that says 'It's cute how you think I'm listening' with the bunny wearing headphones over its ears. I put a side bang in my hair, because I haven't done that in a while, and then put it back into a ponytail. I took a deep breath before grabbing my backpack, purse, and phone before heading downstairs.
I walked down the stairs to see Damon pouring himself a glass of liquor.
"Morning." Damon said to me as I set my stuff down on a chair by the front door and slipped my phone into my pocket.
"Morning." I said to him before going to the basement so I could have some blood before school.
I reached into the freezer and pulled out a blood bag before hearing Damon's voice behind me.
"Getting some blood?" He asked. I turned around to face him with the blood bag in my hand.
"I'm not looking for ice cream." I said to him before walking around him. I started to drink from the bag on my way up from the basement.
"Chelsea I'm sorry about what happened last night."
"You didn't seem sorry." I said as we walked through the hall. Damon grabbed my arm, turned me around, and looked me in the eyes.
"I am sorry Chelsea. I was pissed off and you know how I get…"
"Is this going to take long? I have to get to school." I could see the hurt in Damon's eyes.
"Fine." He said before taking a deep breath. "Then after school, at the grill, four o'clock."
"Fine with me." I said before taking another sip from the blood bag and turning around.
I didn't even get to my stuff before Damon appeared in front of me. He leaned in, bringing his head closer to mine, and our lips touched. Damon filled it with passion, although I could feel his regret in it as well. He ended the kiss and looked into my eyes before handing me my purse and backpack.
"You don't want to be late for school." He said in a quiet tone before I traded the blood bag for my backpack and purse.
I was walking into school, when I felt my phone vibrate. I pulled it out and saw that Stefan texted me. 'Why would he text me?' I thought before I unlocked my phone to read the text.
'Where are you?'
'At school.' I texted Stefan back.
"Hey, Chelsea." I heard Caroline say as I walked closer to my locker.
"Hi Caroline." I said as I opened my locker.
"Did you know what happened last night."
"Yeah. Klaus killed his father," I started to say ", and Elena got to Damon." I said as I took some books out of my locker.
"What do you mean got to Damon?" Caroline asked at the same time as my phone vibrated again.
"It doesn't matter." I said as I shut my locker. "I got to get to class." I said to Caroline before walking away.
I walked into history and went straight to the back. Alaric wouldn't be able to seem me text with people in front of me. I pulled out my phone to see that Stefan had texted back.
'Are you busy?'-Stefan
'Well, I'm at school, so I'm going to say yeah.'
'I have something more important to tell you.'-Stefan
'What?'
'Meet me at the witch house after school.'-Stefan
'Can't. I'm busy then. I'll meet you there at lunch.' I texted Stefan before putting my phone in my pocket. I looked up to see Elena and Bonnie walking into the room. They looked at me for a moment before sitting down in their seats.
Lunch seemed to come pretty quick. I put my books into my locker and then texted Stefan.
'Leaving school soon.' I slipped my phone into my pocket and made my way towards the door.
"Chelsea." I rolled my eyes and turned to see Elena walking up to me.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Why didn't you help Damon last night?" She asked me.
"I did. I got your boyfriend off of him."
"Why didn't you help him try and kill Klaus?" I couldn't help but scoff.
"My only part was to distract Klaus, which I did. How was I supposed to know that Katherine was going to pretend to be you or that Stefan was going to ruin the plain?" I looked at Elena before continuing. "I'm not told anything anymore so how was I supposed to know what was going to happen?"
"Chelsea…" Elena looked at me with a slightly sad look.
"Hey, I'm not complaining. I don't have a problem with what happened." I looked over her face, trying to study it. "Interesting, you haven't said sorry about what happened last night. Can't wait to hear what Damon thinks about that." I said before turning around to leave.
I walked up to the witch house, slightly wondering where Stefan was.
"Hey, Stefan." I said as I took a step into it. Stefan flashed in front of me. "What's so important?" I asked him.
"Remember what Klaus carried with us all summer?"
"His coffins. Why?" Stefan nodded his head towards a part of the house.
"Follow me." I looked at him before following him.
I followed Stefan down the stairs to the basement.
"You still want to kill Klaus?" He turned around to ask me.
"That's the one thing that hasn't changed since last night." I said to Stefan. He turned around and I continued to follow him. We walked into a room that had four caskets.
"Are those Klaus's?" I asked Stefan.
"Yep." He said popping the 'p'. "I stole them. You can't tell anyone." Stefan turned to me. "Especially Elena."
"I won't tell anyone." I said before looking at the coffins. "It's not like Elena will be talking to me anyway." I said.
"It's not better you know," I looked at Stefan ", without emotions." I looked into him, into his eyes.
"Says the vampire who's flipped the switch."
"I don't have anything else to lose. It doesn't matter for me. You don't need to end up like me Chelsea. The only thing going for me is revenge."
"Why would you care what's going on with me if you flipped your switch?"
"I owe you one. You helped save me on multiple occasions. I'm just returning the favor." I gave Stefan a little smile.
"I don't have much to lose anyway." I said to Stefan before walking out of the room. Before I left I turned back to Stefan. "But thanks." I said before walking out of the witch house.
Instead of going back to school, I just went to the grill. By the time I got there it was only 2 in the afternoon. Only two hours until Damon wants to meet me at the grill. I could kill some time. I walked into the grill and sat a table near the pool tables. I ordered a soda, but spent my time looking at the menu.
"What a pleasant surprise." I looked up to see Klaus was standing next to the table. "May I sit with you?"
"I don't see why not." I said to him
"You seem different from last night." Klaus said as he observed me.
"What gave you that clue?" I asked him as I put the menu down. I looked him. "I'm not any different than I was last night."
"I don't believe that Chelsea."
"Then what do you believe?" I asked him. I was curious to hear his answer.
"I believe that you take things too seriously. You've flipped the switch."
"Really? Please tell me more." I couldn't help but say sarcastically. Klaus looked over my expression.
"Over a game of pool." Klaus said with a smirk. I slightly squinted my eyes at him.
"I'm good at pool."
"I've had more practice." Klaus said to me with his smirk still there.
"We'll see who's better." I said before grabbing my soda and bringing it with me to the pool table.
"You're cheating." Klaus said as I got another pool ball into a pocket.
"Can you prove it?" I asked him.
"Yes, but where's the fun in that?" I rolled my eyes and watched as he tried to pocket a ball, but failed.
"I'm not cheating." I clarified for him. "It wouldn't be fun if I did." I said to him, imitating the tone he had before.
"Seems like your boyfriend is here." He said as he lifted his head. I looked and saw that Damon had walked into the Grill and had spotted me and Klaus playing pool. I looked at Damon before I watched him walk up to the grill. I turned to Klaus.
"We'll finish this later." I said laying my pool stick onto the pool table before walking over to Damon.
"So, you're playing pool with evil hybrids now?" Damon asked as I walked up behind him.
"I needed something to do while I waited for you." I said as I sat down next to him.
"Why did you turn it off?" I looked back to see that Klaus was looking at us, no doubt listening in. I turned back to Damon.
"Last night." I simply said to Damon. "And by the way, Elena doesn't seem sorry about what happened." I said before stealing a sip from Damon's drink.
"Let's not talk about Elena." Damon looked at me.
"Then what?"
"About why you turned it off."
"Which brings us back to Elena and you, and last night."
"I don't have any plans to let you go." I looked at
Damon and he looked at me. I could see the truth in his eyes. "I love you." I looked at Damon and saw his expression before I leaned in to him.
"Do you really want Klaus, the evil hybrid, listening in on our conversation?" I whispered to Damon, hopefully Klaus didn't hear that. I pulled back from Damon.
"Fine, we're leaving." Damon said to me before finishing his drink.
I walked into the boarding house and dropped my stuff down on a chair and walked to Damon. He was pouring two drinks. I walked over to him and he handed me one. I took a sip from it but set it down. Damon looked at me.
"Chelsea, what is the real reason you did it." He asked me.
"Everything that happened in a short period of time." I answered honestly to Damon.
"That never stopped you before."
"True, but it's not like it was before." Damon looked at me as he took a drink from his glass before setting it down.
"I love you Chelsea. No matter what anyone tells me, you will always me be mine." I looked into his eyes. There was a mix of love, sadness, and determination in them. I took a deep breath and gave him a genuine smile. He smiled too.
"I'm happy." I said as I felt some of it rushing back. Damon leaned in to kiss me and I kissed him back. 'It happened faster than before' I couldn't help but think. The last time I shut it out, it took longer than this for anything to show, to leak out.
The next thing I know Damon and I were in his room, still together.
Damon and I lay next to each other, with a sheet covering us. I turned to him.
"I love you." he said with a smile.
"I think," I took a little break. "I still love you." I couldn't help but say with a small smile. ", but I think we may need a break." Sadness appeared in his eyes.
"We could just slow it down and still be together." Damon said to me.
"That would mean, no making out in public, keeping it a secret from the evil people," 'Meaning Klaus.' I added in my head ", and no sex." Damon nodded his head in agreement. I started to get out of Damon's bed.
"Wait." I turned to face Damon while holding my clothes. "You're just going to leave me in my bed by myself?"
"No sex, remember?" I clarified for him.
"I thought you meant starting tomorrow." Damon pouted.
"Nope." I said with a smirk before leaving Damon's room.
I changed into my lazy clothes, which is basically my pajamas. I went into my pants pocket and pulled out my phone and put it on my bedside table. 'Today was interesting' I thought before speeding downstairs to grab my stuff off the chair. Then the doorbell rang, so I answered it.
"Damon's upstairs if you want to talk to him." I said as the door revealed Elena.
"Actually, I want to talk to you." I nodded my head towards the living room, letting her know she could come in.
"I wanted to say that I never meant to have you turn it off." Elena turned to me.
"Then why did you say what you said last night?" I asked her.
"We were both upset, surprised, and I know Damon loves you. I guess, I might have been," Elena took a deep breath ", jealous. I'm sorry."
"Apology accepted, I guess." I looked at Elena for a moment. "If you're done, I have homework to do." I lied to Elena. She nodded her head and left.
I walked up to my room and placed my stuff on the floor, at the edge of my bed.
"I take it you listened in." I said out loud. I could tell that Damon was by my door as I walked around my bed.
"Yeah, but that's not why I'm here." Damon sped up behind me and started kissing me on the neck.
"Can we not do that the rest of the night?" I asked him quietly.
"Sure." He whispered in my ear. I slid into my bed, just wanting to relax. I didn't say anything as Damon slid into the bed with me. "Hey, you said no sex. You didn't say anything about being in the same bed together." I let out a small chuckle.
"There's always a loophole." I said before closing my eyes with my head against his chest.
~ I hope you like the chapter and the fact that I got it up in a day. I guess that's what happens when you have almost no RL. lol
~ I don't know exactly how the emotion switch works, so I kinda made some of it up. As you can probably figure out, I take your idea's and thought into consideration when I'm writing chapters (that goes for all my stories).
~ So, let me know what you think about the chapter.
~ There is going to be no spoiler at the end of the chapter, because if you read carefully at the top author's note, there is a bit of a spoiler.
R&R 'till March 19th. (Unless you REALLY, REALLY want me to write another extra chapter for the story before then, even though I don't have many ideas that would go into that chapter... lol)
