~ Two updates in two days :) That only seems to happen with this story.
~ I enjoyed writing this chapter for the most part. I think I might show a side of Damon and Chelsea's relationship that I haven't before. This doesn't mean that they are back together. She is not really with anyone right now.

susl: There is defenatly a Chelsea/Klaus scene in this chapter. I'm not going to say if it's real or a dream. ;)

Psycho17: First of all, I love reading your reviews :) Klaus and Damon are both protective of Chelsea. I wasn't exactly sure about the blood drinking scene, but glad you liked it.

ENJOY!

General POV

Chelsea was lying down, on the couch. She was on top of his chest as he watched her sleep. It was the first time that she fell asleep on him. Chelsea snuggled against him with a small smile on her face. A hand of hers was intertwined with his, gently set on the couch. She started to moan, as she started to become more awake. He let a small smile appear on his face when she rubbed her head against his chest.

Chelsea slowly opened her eyes.
"Good morning." She mumbled to him.
" 'morning love." He gently kissed o her head. "Did you dream about me?" She lifted her head and looked into his eyes.
"Of course I did Niklaus." Chelsea said with a smile. She reached up with her head and they kissed. "Best way to wake up." She smiled again at him. "I love you." Klaus smiled and started kissing her. Chelsea was wide awake as she moved so she was clearly on top of him as they made out.

Chelsea's POV

I opened my eyes and realized that I was in my room. I could vaguely remember what happened last night, but there was one thing that I knew. Tyler bit me. My hand was gently squeezed. I looked up to see that I was on Damon's chest. 'So I didn't dream that part.' I thought before slowly sneaking off of Damon. He held my hand tighter. "It's okay." I said quietly. "I'll be back." He loosened his grip enough for me to be able to take my hand away.

I closed the door to the bathroom and took a deep breath. 'Why did I dream of Klaus if I was with Damon? Maybe it has to do with his blood?' I thought as I looked at where Tyler bit me. It was completely healed. I slowly brought my fingers to my lip and looked at myself in the mirror. It was almost like I could feel him on my lips. I took a deep breath and tried to push Klaus out my mind before taking a shower.

I wrapped a towel around my body before walking out the bathroom.
"Are you okay?" Damon asked me. He was sitting on my bed, against my pillows.
"Completely healed." I said to him before going to my closet. I could hear Damon get off the bed and step up behind me. He put his hands on my waist and I let out a breath.
"I was so worried." He whispered into my ear. "I almost thought I lost you." Damon gently kissed me on the neck.
"You didn't." I said, without turning around. I tried to focus on what to wear. Damon stayed behind me, with his hands on my waist as I pulled out a purple tank top.
"You look so good in that one." He said to me.
"But I haven't worn it yet." I said to him.
"You look good in anything you wear." Damon whispered in my ear.
"Damon," I let out in a whisper ", I need to get dressed."
"I'll help." Damon whispered to me. I took a deep breath before slowly turning around to face Damon.
"By myself Damon." A flicker of something appeared in his eyes. "Just because I was bit doesn't mean I need help with everything." He looked into my eyes before giving me a slight nod.
"I just don't want anything to happen to you." Damon said in a whisper as her brushed some wet hair behind my ear. I gave him a small smile.
"I'll be okay." I said to him before taking a deep breath. I slowly started walk away from Damon. His hand dropped down to my hand, holding it. I looked at him.
"I love you." He said to me. I gave him a smile before gently removing my hand from his. I grabbed a random pair of jeans out of the drawer of my dresser before going back into the bathroom.

When I walked out of the bathroom and Damon wasn't in my room anymore, but there was something else. A small box was lying on my bed. I walked over to it and picked it up. For a moment I thought it was another thing from Klaus. When I opened it, there was a note inside.
'I hope you'll wear this again ~Damon' Underneath was the necklace I put in in his room after I saw him kissing Elena. I picked it up and looked at it in my hands. It felt like a symbol that we were together, that we couldn't be broken apart. We weren't together though. It sort of felt like it though. The way he held me earlier and the way he talked to me. I don't know if we could be together like we were before. Everything is different now.

"Chelsea." I turned to my doorway and saw Stefan standing there. I slipped the necklace into my pocket and tossed the box onto the bed.
"Hey." I said to him. He took a step into the room.
"Damon told me you got bitten." I took a breath in. "Are you okay?" I nodded my head.
"Yeah."
"When Damon gets back, he's gonna want to talk to us."
"Okay." I said before he walked away.

I picked up the box from my bed and folded the note inside of it. I brought it over to my dresser. The drawing that Klaus drew me caught my eye. 'I wonder if Damon's seen it.' I thought as I looked it over. 'He drew me with the necklace.' I thought when I noticed it drawn on my neck. I smiled a little before putting the box next to the picture.

I was walking into Stefan's room when my phone started to ring.
"Hello?" I answered it as I walked to Stefan's bed.
"Hello love."
"Klaus." I said when I noticed it was him. "What do you want?"
"I just want to make sure that you were okay."
"I'm fine. Perfectly healed." I took a deep breath. "Thanks."
"No problem Chelsea."
"Can I ask you something?" I asked Klaus as I sat on Stefan's bed.
"Anything."
I took a deep breath. "Are there any side effect from a bite, after it's healed?"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I was just wondering." I lied to him, not mentioning the dream I had.
"You've asked me something. It's only fair that I ask you something as well."
"Um… okay. What is it?"
"Will you have dinner with me tonight?" Okay, so I was slightly speechless.
"Just the two of us?"
"Unfortunately not."
"I'll think about it." I said to him.
"See you tonight." Klaus said before hanging up. I sighed before slipping my phone into my pocket.

I took a deep breath and pulled up my pant leg. Where Tyler bit me was completely healed. I lifted my head when Stefan walked out of his bathroom only wearing jeans.
"It's not going to come back." He said to me.
"I know." I let go of my pant leg and took a deep breath.

Damon walked in carrying two shirts.
"Get dressed. We're going out." He said to Stefan as he held up the shirts.
"Yeah, sorry. Not interested." Stefan said. "I'm spending the day with Chelsea."
"You can't." Stefan and Damon looked at me. "I already have plans."
"No, you don't." Damon said to me. "You're staying here."
"Why?" I asked him.
"You got bit. You need to rest."
"I'm healed Damon. It's not like I'm dying anymore."
"I don't care. You're staying where you're safe." I rolled my eyes before Damon looked to Stefan. "Elijah and I have scheduled a very old fashion sit-down with you and Klaus."
"Wait? Elijah's undaggered?" Damon looked back at me. "When did this happen?"
"Last night before I brought you home."
"I say go with the black." I said, changing the subject. I looked at Stefan. "Makes you look villainy."
"Klaus won't make a deal, Damon." Stefan said as he put on the black shirt.
"He didn't have to. All we're doing is buying a little time to give our Bonnie and her mom a chance to pop-up the top of the coffin."
"If Bonnie and I can't open it, what makes you think that she and her mom can?"
"There are both full blooded Bennett witches." Damon turned his head to me. "You on the other hand are half vampire and,"
"Not exactly as powerful as a full witch, I know." I interrupted Damon. "I could have just blown it up if you guys weren't so picky about what's inside of it."
"So, that's your plan?" Stefan said to Damon. Damon turned to face him. "Stall Klaus?"
"If you didn't go postal on his hybrids then maybe we'd have some options." Damon said to Stefan.
"So you unleashed an original to help him out?"
"Undaggering Elijah was smart, Stefan. You're kidding me? After what Klaus did to him? He's in vengeance mood. Perfect."
"There's nothing smart... about trusting Elijah, Damon." Stefan said.
"He screwed us over the last time he promised to help us kill Klaus." I said to Damon.
"Yeah, the way you to have been acting I trust him about as much as I trust you two." 'Ouch.' I thought. Stefan looked at me and then back at Damon.
"Well I guess that goes both ways, doesn't it?"
"Oh yes this is about Elena kissing me. Just remember; if it wasn't for Klaus, you would have never become such a dick and that kiss would never have happened." Damon looked at me. "We would still be together." I took a deep breath as he looked back at Stefan. "So get ready and get happy. We're going to negotiate a fake truce and I don't want your attitude screwing it up." Damon looked at me for a moment before walking out of the room. Stefan turned to me.
"Change your plans." He said to me.
"Why?"
"You've got a dinner to crash."
"It's not crashing if you've already been invited." I smirked at Stefan before getting off his bed. "Just don't tell Damon." I said before walking out of his room.

I walked into my room and took the necklace out my pocket. The necklace was simple, but beautiful. I slowly brought it behind my neck and clasped it. It sparkled in the reflection in my mirror. Although it was just a necklace, it felt good wearing it again.

I managed to sneak out of the boarding house without Damon finding out. I walked up to the door of Klaus's mansion and knocked on the door. For a moment I thought Klaus was going to answer it. The door opened and revealed Elijah.
"Nice to see you again Chelsea." He said to me.
"It's been too long." I said with a small smile. "Why'd you cut your hair?" He smiled a little.
"I needed a change." He said before stepping back. I walked in and he closed the door behind me.
"Nice." I said when I saw the inside. "Better than the last time I saw it."
"Glad you like it." I heard Klaus say as he walked into the room. I walked down the mini stairs and stood in front of him.

There was another knock at on the door. I turned around to see Elijah opening it.
"Niklaus, they have arrived." Damon walked in and faced us. His eyes went straight to me and didn't move. Stefan walked in after him.
"Damon. Stefan. Elijah tells me, you seek an audience. Very bold. Let's discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized men, shall we?" He took a few steps backwards, towards the table. Elijah started to walk past Damon and Stefan.
"It's better to indulge him." He said as he walked towards the table. I could tell that Damon still didn't take his eyes off of me.
"I didn't come here to eat, Klaus." Stefan said and he and Damon started walking closer to us. "Fact, I didn't want to come here at all. But I was told I had to," Stefan glanced at Damon ", because you would hear us out." I heard Klaus chuckle. I turned to him, not looking at Damon anymore.
"Well, we can sit and eat or I can reach down your throats and pull out your insides. The choice is yours." Klaus had a smirk on his face as he looked between Stefan and Damon. He looked to me and the smirk almost disappeared. I walked over to the table and sat down on the seat next to Klaus.

~ First of all, I can promise that the chapter will be up Friday or Saturday, tomorrow if I am very lucky.

~ Damon is worried about Chelsea. He doesn't want her to get bit again.
~ I had to have Chelsea dream about Klaus. She thinks it's just an effect of his blood being in her system. One of the reasons I had Klaus invite Chelsea is because I wanted her to say 'It's not crashing if you've already been invited.'

*Spoiler Alert* (If you haven't seen the trailer for 'Heart of Darkness' this might be a spoiler)
~ It is possible that Chelsea might go with Damon and Elena to Denver when they go to see Jeremy.

R&R 'till the next update
