~I am trying to update this story four times this week, so far so good. I'm done with the 11th episode, which means the story is halfway through the season! Can you believe it? lol
JasmineChyanne: I'm not going to say who she ends up with. Right now I have who I want her to end up in my head, but seeing as the season isn't over yet, that might change. (Although I'm not excatly sure how it will yet)
Psycho17: Damon getting jealous is a good thing... I think. lol I like it when he is jealous, in the show and fanfiction. (: (him being jealous will happen within the next two chapters and I might make it happen after that as well)
Before I get carried away with this author's note, ENJOY the chapter!
Chelsea's POV
I stood in the corner with Stefan. The darkness hid us from anyone that would walk in. He told me that he knew about Bonnie coming here. I didn't question him on how he knew. The witches probably sent her a message in her dreams. They are crafty like that.
I didn't move or make a sound when I heard steps coming closer. She walked in and faced where the coffins would be if the witches weren't hiding them.
"Hello Bonnie." Stefan said which made Bonnie turn to us.
"Stefan. You followed me here?" Bonnie asked Stefan.
"Not exactly." I stood up next to Stefan.
"Chelsea." Bonnie said as she saw me. "What do you mean not exactly?"
"We were kinda here first." I said to her.
"We've been waiting." Stefan said.
"Way to not sound creepy." I said to Stefan.
"What do you want with me?" Bonnie asked Stefan.
"Relax. I just need your help." Stefan said to Bonnie as he took a couple of steps closer to her. I stayed standing where I was.
"Why would I help you? Elena said you saved Klaus's life."
"Let me fill you in on a little secret about Klaus. He kept his family with him at all times, daggered, stored in coffins. And now I have them."
"We have them." I clarified, taking a step closer to Stefan and Bonnie.
"I…we, need you to help keep them hidden." Stefan said. 'He didn't forget about me this time' I thought.
"Are you out of your mind? You're just gonna make him angrier." Bonnie said to me and Stefan.
"Bonnie," I started ", His family is his weakness. Do you know how many weaknesses a thousand year old hybrid has? Not many."
"As long as I have his family, I can ruin him." Stefan said.
"Or we," I looked at Stefan before looking back at Bonnie ", can just kill him."
"I don't have enough power to hide four originals." Bonnie complained to Stefan.
"You don't need enough power." Bonnie looked at me. "The witches are back." I took a step closer to her.
"I know you can figure something out." Stefan said to Bonnie.
"I have more power than her and I couldn't get it open." I said to Stefan.
"The witches don't exactly like you." Bonnie said to me.
"That's right I forgot." I said with a slight sarcastic tone. "Just because I'm half vampire. That's not my fault."
"We'll figure something out." Bonnie said before my phone vibrated.
'Come to the house, I miss you.' I took a deep breath after reading the text from Damon.
"I gotta go." I put my phone back into my pocket. "You can't let the other's know about this." I said to Bonnie before leaving her with Stefan.
I walked into the boarding house and went straight into the library. Damon was pouring a drink. I sped up behind him and grabbed the drink.
"Thanks, I needed one." I said to him before he turned to me. "What? You took some of my fries, I take your drink. I think it's a fair trade." I said with a smirk before walking around and sitting on the couch. I leaned against the arm rest and put my legs onto the couch.
"You could have gotten your own drink." Damon said as he poured another drink.
"Why would I have gotten my own where there was a perfectly good one already poured?" I smirked at Damon before looking behind him. "Oh, No." I groaned before turning my head away.
"Don't be so mean love." Klaus said before taking a few steps to Damon. "I think it´s about time we had a drink, don't you?"
"I´d say we´re overdue." Damon said. I could tell out the corner of my eye that he had turned to Klaus.
"Well, you`ve been so busy with all your plotting and scheming."
"You know us. We never miss a chance to plan an epic failure." I said without looking back at them. Klaus walked to Damon's liquor and poured himself a drink.
"Don´t be so hard on yourself." Klaus walked around the couch and sat down. I brought my feet close to me so he wouldn't sit on them. Damon walked around and stood in front of us. "Who could have guessed your own brother would betray you?" Klaus asked Damon.
"Well, we did have a front row seat when your sister lied to you." Damon said smirking at Klaus.
"Yeah, well she´s fickle that one." Klaus leaned back against the couch. "And you say you have no idea of her whereabouts?" He asked Damon before taking a sip from his drink.
"That´s the thing with younger siblings. You just never know what they`re gonna do." Damon looked at Klaus before looking at me. I stayed quiet, deciding not to add to the conversation.
"What's up with you two love?" Klaus asked me as I took a sip from my glass.
"Why don't we just stay on the topic of Stefan stealing your family?" I said to Klaus, looking at his face.
"Fine." Klaus said looking at me.
There was an awkward silence between the three of us. I tried to avoid looking at either Damon or Klaus.
"You know we´ve actually got a lot in common you and I." Klaus said to Damon, breaking the silence.
"Beside the fact you two have daddy issues?" I raised my and looked at Klaus.
"We both fancy you." Klaus looked at me while I looked at Damon. Damon looked at Klaus.
"Maybe we can just bond over our mutual loathing of my brother." Damon took a couple of steps closer to me. "Why are you so mad at him? He stole your family?" Damon asked Klaus.
"The Originals. I had them daggered, boxed-up waiting the day when I saw fit to wake them." Klaus put his arm on the back of the couch. "And he went in and pinched the bloody lot."
"I certainly didn't expect that," Klaus looked at me ", but I guess that's what you get when give a ripper his freedom." I said with a slight smirk before taking a drink from my glass.
"He's such a buzz kill my baby bro." Klaus looked at Damon "Well, I´d love to find him. Just the trouble is... I sure as hell don't work for you." Damon said to Klaus before they both looked at me.
"It's not like I know where he is." I held back a smirk.
"You know, your drinks stink of vervain, so I can't compel you." Klaus looked at Damon while I looked at Klaus. "There is no point in killing you because you two have the best chance of helping me getting what I need. And yet it would seem a demonstration is in order." Klaus stood up and took a step closer to Damon. "Perhaps I wasn't clear enough when I told you to find Stefan." Klaus looked at me for a moment before looking back at Damon. "Well, it seems you people respond best to displays of violence. Why don't you take this as an example of my reach?" I looked at Damon while Klaus pulled out his phone. "There he is." Damon looked at Klaus. "So, that thing I told you to do, why don't you go ahead and get on with it?" There was no voice on the other end of the phone. Klaus hung up and slipped his phone back into his pocket before sitting back onto the couch.
Five minutes later Damon was sitting on the chair, watching me and Klaus.
"So," I started to say ", are you planning on staying longer or are you going to leave?" I asked Klaus.
"Well, you know how much I love your company love." I rolled my eyes. "But he is buzzkill." I looked at Damon with a smirk on my face. 'Klaus isn't wrong much about that' I thought as Damon gave him a stare.
"You should go." He said to Klaus, not taking his eyes off of him.
"You're right. I've stayed long enough." Klaus looked at me. "I'll see you some other time love." He said with a smirk before getting up from the couch. He patted my knee before setting down his glass and leaving the house.
"I don't like him" Damon said to me after we couldn't hear Klaus anymore.
"Of course you don't. No one really does." I said to him as I stretched my legs out on the couch again.
"You do." Damon just looked at me.
"Wha…no I don't." I said in surprise that he actually said that.
"Why else would you want him to think we're fighting?"
"It's a strategy. I know where the coffins are. If he knew that and he didn't think that we were fighting, then he could go after you to get them back." I got up and set the glass on the table next to the liquor bottles. "You know maybe we are fighting and I just don't know it." I said, looking at Damon. He just stared at me before he phone started ringing. "Saved by the phone." I said before leaving.
I walked through the woods to the witch house. There he was, standing outside.
"I take it you're listening in on Elena and Stefan." I said as I walked closer. Damon turned around and looked at me.
"Chelsea." He said when he saw me. I couldn't help but chuckle a little.
"Let me guess, Bonnie told you he was here."
"How did you know?"
"Stefan texted me." I looked behind Damon. "Doesn't look like you have to eavesdrop anymore." Damon turned around to see Elena walking out.
"Don't even start Damon." Elena said as she walked past us. I looked at Damon before walking to the house. I leaned on it, watching Elena and Damon.
"Let me talk to him." Damon said to Elena.
"You can't get in. The witches won't let you." She complained to him.
"If only you knew someone that could get in." Damon and Elena looked back to me. I just looked at them before Damon turned back to Elena.
"Here," Damon reached into his pocket and gave Elena something ", take my car keys. You go deal with your brother, I'll deal with mine." Damon started walking in the witch house.
"Watch out for the sun." I said to him before he sped in. I looked to where Elena was, but she was already gone.
I listened to Damon speed through the house.
"Wow! That was impressive." I heard Stefan say. 'He must be in the basement' I thought. "But the coffins aren't here, so... You can go away now." Stefan finished.
"I don't care about the coffins. We need to talk."
"Ok, let's talk."
"Nothing's ever easy with you, is it?" Damon said. Before I knew it, Damon had pushed Stefan out of the house onto the ground. Stefan got up, but Damon kicked him in the stomach, sending back onto the ground. Damon sped to the nearest tree, broke off a branch, and stuck it in Stefan's stomach.
"That is for screwing up my plan! You stop me from killing Klaus and you steal his family. Why? Doesn't make sense." Damon twisted the branch. "Answer me." Damon pushed the branch into Stefan, who groaned in pain.
"Piece by piece Klaus took everything from us."
"We're doing the same to him." I finished for Stefan.
"But I had him, Stefan! Why did you screw it up?" Damon asked Stefan.
"I did it to save you." Stefan threw Damon off of him.
"Can't you two try and behave?" I asked as I walked closer to them. Stefan sat up and I pulled the branch out of him.
"There's no way you did this for me." Damon said as he sat up.
"He is always one step ahead." I said to Damon as he and Stefan stood up.
"If Klaus died, his hybrids would have killed you." Stefan explained to him.
"I want you to get it through your head." Damon picked up the branch and shoved it in Stefan's stomach again. "Stop saving me."
Damon turned to me after I had watched him with Stefan. I took a deep breath before watching him leave.
Stefan and I were still at the witch house by the time it got dark out. We were both leaning against the pillars that were in front of the door.
"Do you know what I can´t figure out?" I lifted my head to see Damon walking towards us. "Why save me? Was it brotherly love, guilty conscience? Is the switch on, is the switch off?"
"Don't you have somewhere you need to be Damon?" Stefan asked.
"Reflection." Damon smirked. "That´s not gonna work on me. I invented that."
"We´re done. Can´t you just go away?"
"Not until you told me why you saved me. You owe me that."
"I don´t owe you anything."
"Fine. Next question. Why did you steal the coffins?"
"Klaus´s family is one weakness that we can use against him." I said to Damon before Stefan could. Damon looked at me.
"Use against him to do what? You´re not gonna kill him, you know how I know?" Damon looked over to Stefan. " ´Cause there was only one way to kill him and you blew that to save me."
"You´re wrong Damon. Klaus isn´t just get to just live forever."
"There´s another way. There has to be." Stefan finished for me.
"Fair enough. But whatever you´re doing I´m on in." Damon said to Stefan before looking at me.
"We don´t need your help." Stefan told him.
"The more people involved the more people Klaus can go after to get his family back. " I told Damon.
"We´re in this by ourselves Damon." Stefan said before Damon looked at him.
"Really? Last time I checked you´re hiding in a haunted house." Damon looked between the two of us. "You go after Klaus you have to be cutthroat and devious. I´m so much better at that than you two."
"Don't underestimate us Damon." I said with a smirk.
"Come on." Damon started to take a few steps closer to us. "What do you say? If you're gonna keep saving my life at least make it for a good reason." He looked at Stefan.
"You want in?" Stefan asked as Damon stepped closer to us.
"Yeah."
"Then it´s just the three of us." I said which made Damon look to me.
"Elena stays out of it." Stefan said. Damon didn't even look at Stefan.
"Deal."
"Follow me." Stefan said before he and I started walking into the house.
"Wait." I stopped and turned to Damon. "I´m not so...welcome in there."
"You worry too much." I gave Damon a little smirk. "They'll be nice as long as we all want the same thing." I turned back and walked into the house.
I walked into the basement with Damon following me.
"Have a look." Stefan told Damon as we stood still. I looked where the coffins are. The witched were hiding them.
"What? Klaus is allergic to dust?" I let out a chuckle. Damon looked at me.
"Look again." I said and Damon looked. All the coffins were visible.
"The witch spirits hate Klaus as much as we do. They´re using their powers to hide the coffins." Stefan told Damon.
"So even if he comes in the house..." Damon started.
"...he won´t be able to find them." I finished for him.
I decided to take a walk through Mystic Falls. In the dark everything seemed calm, like there was no secret plot to destroy one of the oldest living vampires. I decided to walk down Elena's street, knowing that Damon was there. He told me that he was just going to check up on her and Alaric.
"I feel something with you and I know you do with me." I stopped and listened when I heard Elena say this. I could barely see them as I hid behind a tree.
"I do." Damon admitted to Elena. "But it doesn't matter because I'm in love with Chelsea." I smiled a little. "Isn't there some sort of girl code for liking your friend's boyfriend?"
"Yeah, and I know I shouldn't feel guilty about this but," I could see Elena looking at Damon ", I can't help it Damon." There was a pause between them. I was still watching from behind the tree. "But, if I'm going to feel guilty about something…" My eyes widened when I saw Elena press her lips onto Damon's. Damon didn't pull away, he didn't fight it. I took a deep breath and decided to walk in front of them.
"I guess you couldn't help yourself." I said, now standing in front of Elena's house.
"Chelsea." Damon pulled away from Elena. "It's not what it looks like."
"So, you weren't just kissing Elena." I looked at Damon before looking to Elena. "How was it? Was it good?" I turned my head back to Damon. "I guess we were really fighting if you think you could kiss her and not have me find out." I said, taking a deep breath. I turned around and sped away from Damon and Elena.
I sat on the floor, looking into the fireplace. The bright flames danced and distracted me from my own thoughts. Every thought was telling me that what I saw didn't matter, that it was going to happen eventually. They're right. It doesn't matter, but it doesn't mean it was going to happen.
I heard the door open but didn't bother to look away from the flames. The footsteps stopped.
"Chelsea." I heard Damon say. There was clear sadness in his voice. I didn't even budge or acknowledge him. He stepped closer to me.
"Go away Damon." I finally said to him.
"We need to talk." I still didn't take my eyes off the fire.
"What's there to talk about? You kissed Elena, end of story." I said.
"Just let me Explain." I decided to stand up and face Damon. Damon's eyes were filled with emotion, looking into mine. Every emotion of mine was pushed back, deep beneath the surface.
"What's there to explain? I mean, unless I'm missing something, it's obvious you were preoccupied." Damon stared in my eyes. He was clearly concerned, hurt, and worried. I started to walk past Damon, to go to my room. Damon grabbed me by the arm, turned me around and kissed me. He kissed me with everything he felt. I didn't care. "You've got some nerve." I said with a monotone. "I see you kiss Elena, and then you kiss me?" Damon's eyes filled with hurt. I pulled my arm out of his grip and walked up to my room.
I had a slight writer's block when it came to Chelsea finding out about the delena kiss. I wasn't exactly sure that I was going to have that in her, but you guys sort of convinced me. I was going to have Chelsea find out about it, but I wasn't quite sure if I was going to have her see it happen until I saw the reviews.
~ I'm going to ask this ahead of time, so I can plan it. Do you think, in a future chapter, that I should have Chelsea get bitten by a hybrid? Specifically Tyler? I don't know if I want that to happen, if it would, it might be in Ties That Bind, but unless you can convince me otherwise...
~Review with your thoughts and ideas about the story.
*Spoiler Alert*
There are going to be more Klaus and Chelsea moments.
R&R 'till the next update
