~Okay, so I lied there isn't going to be a Klaus and Chelsea moment at the end of the chapter. There is going to be one sooner. The whole chapter is almost mainly Klaus and Chelsea. Damon, Tyler, Matt, Caroline, and Stefan also make an appearance, but Chelsea and Klaus are in most of those scenes together. I would like to say that this chapter will start making the Damon/Chelsea/Klaus triangle moving, if it hasn't started to moving already.

~There is actually a mention about Kol in this chapter. :)

~This is one of those chapters that I start writing and don't want to stop. So, I ended up staying up late just to finish it. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, or a bad thing... lol

Psycho17: I won't be able to have Chelsea get bit by Tyler in this chapter (because I kinda said in the last author's note) that I'm having her with Klaus at the time it happens. She might get bit within the next two or four chapters, depending on how the chapters go.

ENJOY!

Chelsea's POV

I decided to go to the fundraiser. What harm could it do? I was getting ready in my room, while putting on a pink dress, some earrings and black slip on shoes. I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror. My hair reached to my shoulders in loose curls and the dress ended just above my knees. I couldn't help but smile a little at the fact that I was wearing a dress. I knew deep down, that wasn't really the reason, but that's what I decided to go with.

I went into my closet and my eyes went straight to a purse that Damon had got me. I took a deep breath before taking it out the closet. The purse was one of the things that Damon got me for my birthday. Even though I told him not to get me too many things, he didn't listen. I smiled a little before my phone started ringing.

I picked up my phone and saw that it was Tyler.
"Hey Ty." I said to him as I held the phone between my ear and shoulder.
"I have to tell you something." He said to me.
"Okay. What is it?"
"Klaus wants me to bite Caroline."
"Wait." I held my phone with my hand. "What? You're not going to do it, are you?" 'Why would Klaus want him to do that?' I thought.
"No!." Tyler sounded slightly offended. "I told him that there is no way I'm going to do it."
"Standing up to Klaus, huh." I let out a little chuckle. "Well, that's either smart or stupid." I tried to joke with him to lighten the mood.
"Wouldn't brave be one of the choices?"
"Nope." I said to Tyler, popping the 'p'.
"Well, anyway, I just called to tell you that. Nobody else is really talking to me."
"Well, that's their fault." I looked up at the clock. 'It started ten minutes ago' I thought. "I gotta go. Tell me how it goes with Caroline." I hung up and slid my phone into my purse. I took a deep breath before I started to leave the boarding house. 'I'm going on a date with Klaus.' I thought in disbelief. 'What could really go wrong? It's not like he is going to try anything with most of the town there.' I tried to shake the thoughts as made my way to the founder's hall.

When I got to the founder's hall, it was filled with people. I actually found Klaus in no time. He was talking to Carol and Damon. 'Why does Damon have to be here?'I complained in my thoughts. Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it. I took a deep breath before walking over to them.

"There she is." Klaus said as I walked up to him. He put his arm around my waist. "What took you so long beautiful?"
"Looking this good takes time you know."
"Do you have to steal the town's most eligible bachelors all the time Chelsea?" Carol asked me.
"I do have standards." I smirked before looking at Damon. His free hand was in a fist and he was looking at me. I just couldn't bring myself to look at his face, knowing what it must look like.
"Carol and I were discussing about whether Damon would be the other big benefactor." Klaus said.
"What do you say Damon? Klaus has made a very generous pledge. You know how we're chomping at the bit to begin the renovation." Carol said to Damon.
"Carol, don't take this the wrong way," I looked at Carol while Damon spoke to her ", but do you realize that you've been kissing the ass of an immortal hybrid who ruined your son's life?"
"Oh, come now." Klaus started to say to Damon. "Some would say that I saved him from all that nasty full moon business." Klaus looked at Damon, then to me, and finally to Carol. "I've never had to go through it myself, more than twice to be honest but still, I'm very sympathetic." Carol looked to Damon.
"Klaus has promised to protect Tyler, Damon. And our town."
"From who?" I asked.
"His hybrids are the one the town needs protection from." Damon said.
"Well, that's something we both can agree on." I said, finally looking at Damon. I took in a small breath.
"Well, I'd have no use for them if Stefan and Chelsea would kindly return my family." Klaus looked to me and I looked at him.
"Not gonna happen. That is unless you get your hybrids out of town." Klaus smirked.
"If you can get Stefan to stop decapitating my friends, then I'll consider getting them out of town." I looked at Klaus before Carol started to speak.
"Please Damon, just get them under control," 'I'm right here' I thought ", or the council will be forced to take action against them"
"You've gotta be kidding me." Damon said to Carol.
"If you take action Carol," I started as I looked at her ", Stefan and I will end up making it twenty times worse. And if you want to be mayor next year, you should stay out of it." Carol opened her mouth, but then shut it before walking away.
"Are we threatening the mayor?" Klaus asked as he looked at me. "You really are evil."
"So I've been told." I said with a smirk before looking at Damon. He was looking at me with slight surprise in his eyes.
"Give peace a chance mate." Klaus said to Damon. Damon didn't take his eyes off of me.

I was still at the fundraiser, but I was standing outside. Klaus didn't want me to get away from him, but I was able to slip away from him. I couldn't get it out of my head how Damon was looking at me earlier when I was with Klaus. 'He has a right to be jealous.' My thoughts told me. 'Why is Damon, Damon?' I took a deep breath and looked at the trees.

My phone started to ring, so I pulled it out of my purse and answered it. I looked at the caller ID.
"Tyler?" I asked.
"I am in sooo much trouble." He said to me. It sounded like he was freaking out.
"What's wrong?"
"I bit her." I let out a small gasp.
"What?"
"I don't know how it happened. We were making out in the woods and then I just…" Tyler was almost on the edge to hysterical.
"Calm down Tyler." I tried to tell him.
"How can I calm down? I just bit Caroline." He snapped at me.
"Just try and calm down Tyler," I told him calmly ", I'll deal with it." I hung up and slipped my phone back into my purse. 'Better find him.' I thought before I started to look for Klaus.

I finally found Klaus before I walked up to him.
"Why, hello love. Where have you been?" He asked me before I grabbed his arm and started dragging me.
"You're coming with me." I said as I pulled him towards a room.
"I didn't know you liked to play rough." I scoffed and rolled my eyes as I pulled him into a room. I let him go as I closed the door behind me. "I didn't know you wanted me all alone love." I turned to see Klaus with a smirk on his face.
"Tyler bit Caroline." I said to him seriously. His smirk dropped.
"I did warn you." He took a step away from me. "It's a shame, Caroline had her whole eternity in front of her."
"You're going to heal her." I stepped closer to him. He turned around to face me.
"And why would I do that sweetheart?" He stepped up closer to me.
"Because if you don't, I'll drop your one brother in the ocean." He looked at me with a slightly mad expression. "You know, the cute young one that looks like Elijah." I looked at him, waiting for him to answer.

Klaus and I were staring at each other as Damon entered the room.
"Stefan just grabbed Elena." Klaus and I turned to him.
"Well, he's getting desperate." I looked at Damon.
"They're gonna try and use her against you." He looked at me for a moment before I looked away. Damon looked at Klaus. "Do what they say, get rid of your hybrids."
"Or what? Stefan would never dream of killing her." Klaus looked at me. "And Chelsea wouldn't let a friend die."
"You sure about that?" I said to Klaus calmly, no matter how uneasy it was making me.
"Stefan just tried to behead someone in the middle of a council party and Chelsea threatened the mayor." I looked at Damon. "They're operating on crazy right now. I have no clue what they're going to do next." Damon looked at me and I gulped.
"Well, crazy or not, that kind of love never dies. He's bluffing."
"Maybe he is, maybe he isn't," Damon took a step closer to Klaus ", but if you don't want to believe him, believe me. I don't know about Chelsea," He said glancing to me ", but I know my brother better than anyone and right now I don't have a clue how far he is willing to take this. So if he says blink, I suggest you blink."
"And if you don't give me the cure, I'm dropping that one brother I mentioned in the ocean." Klaus looked at me with a slightly pissed off look.

Klaus and I were looking at each other and Damon was looking at me. Klaus's phone started to ring and he put it on speakerphone.

"Stefan, how nice to hear your voice." You could hear the roar of the engine over the phone.
"Tell your hybrids to get out of town Klaus." Stefan said.
"Well that's not gonna happen until I get my coffins back." Klaus said to Stefan.
"Okay, well then I'm gonna drive your blood source off Wickery Bridge." My eyes slightly widened. 'He won't do it' I thought. He didn't say that he was going to do this.
"I don't believe you Stefan, you won't kill her." Klaus said to Stefan. You could hear the sound of Elena struggling and then coughing.
"What's going on?" Klaus asked with slight panic in his voice.
"I just fed her my blood. No more hybrids if she is a vampire."
"You won't do it."
"Try me, because your coffins are next to go." Stefan's tires screeched over the phone. "Say goodbye to your family Klaus."
"Stefan slow down!" Elena yelled to Stefan over the phone. Klaus looked at me with slight panic on his face.
"Tell Stefan to stop and I'll give you the cure." I let out a breath.
"Stefan stop." Damon, Klaus, and Elena all sighed in relief. "Stop playing around if you want the hybrids to leave." I ended up blurting loud to Stefan. 'Wait. Did I just say that?' I thought to myself in disbelief. Klaus and Damon looked at me in surprise. Elena started to scream as Stefan continued to speed his car.
"Stop the car Stefan." Elena yelled.
"Fine, I'll send them away, you win." Klaus said to Stefan. Stefan continued driving the car. "Stop the car Stefan!" Klaus almost yelled before the car finally came to a halt. Klaus hung up at looked at me, slightly pissed off.
"She was going to die." Damon angrily said to me.
"She wasn't going to stay dead." I said to Damon as calmly as I could.
"Who are you?" He asked me before turning around and leaving the room. I stood there, still looking where he stood in disbelief. 'I'm not that bad, am I? I can't be.' I thought to myself before Klaus brought be out of my thoughts.
"So, what happened with you two?" I took a deep breath.
"Never you mind." I said to him. "Let's just go heal Caroline." I said, holding back my emotions.

I brought Klaus to Caroline's house and knocked on the door. Matt opened it and stared at Klaus.

"Chelsea made a case for me to come. Tyler talked to her, quite distressed the poor chap." Klaus said to him.
"You made him do this to her. He would have never done something like this." Matt angrily said to Klaus.
"I'm here to help Matt." Caroline's mom walked around the corner, into our view. I looked at her.
"His blood will heal Caroline." I said to her. "You have to invite him in."
"I know how this game works. You want something in return." Liz said to Klaus.
"Just your support." I looked to Klaus.
"You're getting nothing." I said adamantly.
"Come in." I slightly smiled before entering the house with Klaus. As we walked to Caroline's room I saw a thing that said "Happy Birthday Caroline." 'I forgot her birthday?' I thought as we approached her room.

Caroline was lying on her bed, slowly opening her eyes. She looked like she has given up.
"Hey, Caroline." I said in a whisper.
"Are you going to kill me?" She quietly asked as she looked at Klaus.
"On your birthday? You really think that low of me?"
"Yes." Caroline said to Klaus. He slowly stepped closer to her and pulled back the blanket. Her bite looked bad. I looked away for a moment.
"It looks bad. My apologies, you are just collateral damages, it's nothing personal." Klaus gently touched the bracelet that she was wearing. "I love birthdays."
"Yeah, Aren't you like… a billion, or something?" Klaus and I both chuckled at Caroline.
"Well you have to adjust your perception of time when you become a vampire, Caroline. Celebrate the fact that you're no longer bound by trivial human conventions. You're free."
"No, I'm dying." I looked at Caroline as Klaus sat on her bed.
"And I could let you die, if that's what you want. If you really believe your existence has no meaning."
"Caroline," I said as I kneeled down next to Caroline's bed. "We have to live with the fact that we are vampires. We need blood to survive. We'll never grow old while our families age and move on with their lives." I took a small pause. "Our emotions are heightened, making the smallest thing seem like a big deal. We'll say and do things that we'll regret for the rest of our existence." I took a deep breath to keep the emotion in. "But if they are the only things that we think about, then we don't have much of a chance. By the time everybody is dead, we could be on the beach of a foreign country with hot guys surrounding us." Caroline smiled and Klaus chuckled a little.
"It's your choice." He started to say to Caroline. "I thought about it myself," I looked at Klaus ", once or twice, over the centuries, truth will be told." I looked back at Caroline.
"We all have at one point." I admitted to Caroline.
"I'll let you both in on a little secret." Klaus started as he looked between the both of us. "There is a whole world out there, waiting for you. Great cities and art and music, genuine beauty. And you can have all of it. You can have a thousand more birthdays." He looked into Caroline's eyes. "All you have to do is ask."
"I don't wanna die." Caroline said with tears threatening to leave her eyes. I moved back as Klaus moved Caroline in a position where she could get his blood. She bit into him.
"Happy birthday Caroline." He whispered.

Klaus and I walked out of Caroline's house together.
"Have you really thought about it?" He asked me as we started walking away from her house.
"About what?" I asked.
"Ending it all." I stopped and took a deep breath before looking at him.
"A couple of times. Mainly over the summer."
"Am I really that bad?" I let out a little chuckle.
"I'm not going to say." I smirked. "I just realized something." My eyes went back towards Caroline's house.
"What?" He asked me with slight hopefulness in his voice.
"I forgot to get Caroline a birthday present." Slight disappointment appeared in Klaus's eyes. He reached into his pocket and brought out a box. Klaus handed it to me.
"I was going to give this to you, but if you want to give it to Caroline," I opened it up and looked at it ", all you have to do is change who it's from." I looked up to Klaus.
"It's beautiful." I said with a smile. Klaus let a smile appear on his face.
"It fits you." I couldn't help start blushing. I changed it so it said 'From Klaus and Chelsea' instead of just from Klaus. I handed the box and pen back to him. "Could you give it to her?" He nodded his head.
"Can I ask you something?"
"You just did," I smirked ", but go ahead."
"Why are you pretending?"
"What do you mean?"
"I thought you really did turn it off, but after looking into your eyes tonight," Klaus stepped closer to me, brushing some hair behind my ear. I couldn't help but take a deep breath. ", I could see the emotion in your eyes. The regret, sadness, you can't fool me Chelsea." I looked into his eyes, not knowing what to say.

Before I knew it Stefan had pulled up to the curb.
"I gotta go." I said to Klaus before starting to walk to Stefan's car.
"I would have saved Caroline even if you didn't ask." I looked at Klaus before getting into the car.

"Do I want to know what happened back there?" Stefan asked me as he drove. I just shook my head. "I'm moving back."
"Good." I said as I looked out the window.
"Do you miss me that much?" I looked at him after letting out a little chuckle.
"Oh, Stef. You wish." I looked back out the window. 'I left my purse at Caroline's' I thought. It doesn't really matter. I'll just get it back tomorrow or something.

I walked into the boarding house with Stefan to see Damon standing by the fireplace. He turned around and looked at me. We didn't say anything before I walked up to my room.

I walked into my room and saw my purse, just sitting on my bed. I walked over to it and opened it up. Inside there was a paper. I rolled it open to see a drawing of me. At the bottom it was signed by Klaus. I let out a little gasp as I looked at it. It was beautifully drawn, like a professional artist. I set the picture on the dresser before quickly changing into pajamas. The purse went back into the closet, only after I took out my phone.

I took a deep breath before going into my bed and closing my eyes. No matter what I tried to think about, the drawing that Klaus drew for me always came up.

~ I didn't really plan the ending, but when I realized that I written she brought a purse, she would have to have it by the end of the chapter. I just thought a way to put her getting it back, into the chapter.
~ There was some parts that I was slightly unsure about things I made Chelsea say, but I think that it kind of helps make the chapter.

~There isn't going to be a new chapter until April 1st. Since writing four chapters worked this time, I'm going to do it again that week as well. The episodes will be (if you don't really remember, lol) The Ties That Bind and Bringing Out The Dead.

* Spoiler Alert*
Chelsea and Damon more than likely have a scene together in the next chapter.

R&R 'till the next update
