This chapter is a bit shorter than past chapters. I think mainly because I want this chapter and the next chapter to be equal in length.

Psycho17: I want her to get bitten. Is that mean of me? lol I just don't know exactly how I'm going to make that happen. But I want it to happen at least in the next chapter.

flowergirl123: Damon is going to get a little jealous in this chapter and seeing Chelsea and Klaus together.

I hope some of the stuff at the end will make up for the fact that it's a little shorter.

ENJOY!


Chelsea's POV

I laid on my bed, hoping that what happened last night was all a dream. There was no way I acted like that, is there? I couldn't have been like that. Why is it so hard for me to believe that it happened? Is it because of what I said? The fact that I am actually caring for Klaus? That I hurt Damon? I took in a deep breath and slowly got out of my bed.

I took my time in the shower, letting the water flow down me. It felt calming. Once I got out though, the unsureness came back. I took a deep breath and decided to go into my closet. There was a hidden box that I had put in there. I sat down, in front of my closet, with the box. For a moment, I just looked at it. I took a deep breath before taking the top off. Inside was a photo album that I created when I moved here. I moved against the wall, with the album in my lap.

The first picture was of me, in front of the house I used to live in. There was also me and my parents. We were so happy. After a few pages I came across a picture of me and Anna, after Damon had killed me. It was the first picture I had taken after I turned. I could feel tears threatening to gather in my eyes. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and then continued looking at the photos.

After a few pages I came across a picture of me and Damon. We were at the 1950's decade dance. I had asked Elena if she could take a picture of me and Damon. It was our first actual date. Sure, it ended with killing a vampire, but still it was still a date. I know he was still stuck on Katherine, even though she wasn't in the tomb. She never wanted him. I know he wanted her, but he moved on. There was a picture of us, at the carnival, the day we found out about Caroline. He had won me a big teddy bear. I had that in my room, at my other house. I looked at the picture, trying to remember all the things that we went through. We managed to be together after the time with Rose, and somehow we managed to kind of be together when he was using Andie. It's really amazing after everything Damon did, he really tried to make up for it.

"Hey." I heard, in almost a whisper. I looked up to see Damon standing at my doorway.
"Hey." I said to him before putting the album back in the box.
"I looked at that almost every day while you were gone." I said to me as I put the box in the closet. "The pictures aren't that much of a substitute for the real thing." I said as I turned around to face him. He looked at me with a small smirk. His eyes quickly had sadness appear in them.
"Damon…I…." I started to say. Truth is I really didn't know what to say. I took in a deep breath and looked at Damon. "You know, last night… Stefan wasn't gonna go through with it. He just needed Klaus to believe it." Damon just looked into my eyes. Stefan walked in front of my doorway, but stayed in the hall. He looked at me.
"We have to go." I gave him a slight nod before looking back at Damon.
"See you later." I said almost quietly before I started to walk out the room. Before I turned the corner, I took on last look at Damon. He was looking at me as I left.


Stefan and I didn't speak on the way to the witch house. I know he heard what I said to Damon, but I don't think he minded. He loves Elena too much to force her to be a vampire. If only Damon really believed that.

We stepped into the witch house and I could hear voices coming from the basement. I looked at Stefan, who glanced at me before we walked into the basement. Bonnie and Elena were there, looking at the coffins.
"What are you doing here?" I asked Elena after taking a deep breath.
"I needed her to know about the coffin." Bonnie said to me.
"And we needed you to keep her out of it, Bonnie." I said with a slightly threatening look at her. I liked Elena, but after what I saw her doing with Damon, I really no longer liked her.
"So what are you gonna do? Are you gonna kidnap me, so that I won't tell anyone?" Elena asked as she looked between me and Stefan.
"Sounds like a great Idea." I said. Elena glared at me. 'If it keeps her hands off of Damon.' I thought.
"I think I know who can open the coffin and I need Elena to help me find her." Bonnie stepped closer to us. I could hear her tone, trying to stop anything that might happen.
"Find who? What are you talking about?" Stefan asked.
"I couldn't place her face at first." Bonnie reached in her pocket and pulled out something. "Then I realized..." She showed it to Elena.
"Oh my god, Bonnie." Elena said quietly as she looked at it. Stefan took it from Elena and showed it to me. It was a picture of two people. A child was sitting on a swing and an older woman was smiling.
"Who is this?" Stefan asked.
"It's my Mom." I looked up at Bonnie.
"Your mom?" She gave a slight nod. "How are you going to find her?"
"I'll ask Caroline's mom to search for all the Abby Bennett's in the country." Bonnie said to me.
"I could always do a locater spell if you want, or use some compulsion to speed up the whole process." She gave me a small smile.
"I think we'll do without that." Bonnie said to me.
"Okay, while you're doing that," I looked at Bonnie ", I'm heading to the Grill." I gave a slight smile to Bonnie before leaving.


I walked into the Grill and went straight to the bar. I just wanted to sit on one of the stools.

"Has living with the Salvatore's driven you to drink?" I turned my head behind me to see Klaus approaching me.
"No." I honestly said to him. "I just needed to get away from Elena."
"Care to explain?"
"Nope." I said popping the 'p'.
"Well then," Klaus and I looked at each other ", shall we talk about something else?"
"Like what?"
"You. If you enjoyed yourself last night." I looked at Klaus for a moment. I glanced behind us and saw that Damon was sitting with Alaric. Damon was staring at me and Klaus. I slowly looked back at Klaus.
"A little bit." I answered Klaus's question.
"Only a little?" I looked away from Klaus as I rolled my eyes.
"Well I did have to threaten you to heal Caroline." I could feel him lean in closer to me.
"And I bet you loved it." He whispered into my ear. I looked at Klaus. "You know you did." I slightly shook my head.
"You wish." I said to him before taking a deep breath.
"I'd hate to leave you alone," I looked at him with slight confusion on my face ", but I have some business to attend to." Klaus stood next to me. "I'll see you later." He whispered into my ear before walking away.

As soon as Klaus left Damon had walked up to me. He sat where Klaus had sat before.
"What were you doing?" He asked me.
"I had to go with Stefan and meet Bonnie." I said to Damon, avoiding the subject.
"I meant with Klaus."
"We were just talking." I said to him.
"But why with him?"
"I can talk with who I want Damon." I turned my head to him.
"You can't talk to him." Damon said adamantly.
"And why not?" I took a deep breath.
"He's the enemy."
"Really? I had no Idea." I said to him with a sarcastic tone. "I can talk to who I want Damon. You're not the boss of me." I stood up from the stool and was about to walk away from Damon. He grabbed my arm, which made me turn back towards him.
"You know... I still love you." I looked into Damon's eyes. There was a part of me that wanted to say it back to him, but there was another part of me that just wanted to slap him.
"I know." I said after taking a deep breath. We looked into each other's eyes for a moment before I walked away from him.


~I was going to add the scene where Klaus is at the boarding house, but that will be in the next chapter. I had to have a Klaus and Chelsea scene in here. Damon had to see it, because I'm evil ;)
~I would have posted this yesterday, but I wanted to add more at the end. I didn't know what to add, so I just kept this ending.
~I can pretty much garentee that Klaus, Damon, and Chelsea will all be in a scene together in the next chapter.

~The next chapter will be up April 3rd.

*Spoiler Alert*
Chelsea will lose her witch powers for a couple of chapters (or four, depending how the storyline goes). (I'm thinking from Dangerous Liasions to All My Children)

R&R 'till the next update.
