~ So, I was right. This is up before 'Heart of Darkness' airs. lol I am looking forward to the episode. For two reasons, Delena and Kol! :)
~ If I get the next chapter up after the episode airs, I might have a spoiler for the what happens in the story for that episode.

Katy: It was explained in the last chapter why Chelsea was a witch and a vampire. I can confirm that Bonnie's mom will still be turned into a vampire. And to be fair, I started the story before they told us that a person couldn't be a witch and a vampire.

flowergirl123: I like Klaus and Chelsea to. Why else would I write it? lol Damon doen't like the two of them together though...

Psycho17: One of my favorite Kol lines from that episode is "I've met a lot of people and you don't particularly stand out." I had to find a way to include that. I was going to have Klaus find out about the dream in the last chapter, but by the time I posted it, I noticed I forgot to add it. So, I'm making sure it's in this chapter. Chelsea being just a normal vampire only lasts only so long ;)

ENJOY!

Chelsea's POV

I was lying on my bed, not really tired. His arm wrapped around my waist. Our hands were intertwined. I tried to slip out of his grasp, without waking him up. I gently moved his arm off of me and slid off the bed. I put on an oversized t-shirt before leaving my room.

I walked downstairs to the basement and grabbed a blood bag.
"Chelsea." I heard Damon say before I was able to get to my room.
"Good morning." I said to him as I turned to face him.
"Hey," He started softly ", about last night…"
"It's okay." I said. He eyes widened a little in surprise.
"It's not. I shouldn't have tried to boss you around. Sometimes I just lose control of myself when it comes to you." I faked a small smile for him.
"While we are on the topic," I started to him ", I shouldn't have said what I said last night." When and if I turn my emotions back on, I have to deal with what I said with them off. I have to try and think about the consequences.
"I just have to ask you one question." Damon took a deep breath. "Do you still love me?" 'Honestly? No.' I thought. That's because love is an emotion. I know the hurt that he would feel if I said that. The longer I figure out what to say, the worse he'll feel.
"I think that we have had our fair share of problems. Our kind of love never dies." I looked into his eyes. "One day, maybe I'll love again." I said to him before slowly walking to my room.

When I walked into my room I saw Klaus putting his pants on.
"So, you can only do it at night?" I asked as I set the blood bag on my table. Klaus sped towards me and gently placed his hands on my hips.
"I could do it all day if you wanted to." He whispered to me before he kissed me down my neck. "But I have to leave." He said, after stopping. "My brothers will worry if I don't show up."
"They'll worry? We must be thinking about different brothers. Yours would defiantly throw a party." I said to Klaus. He smirked.
"Well, that might be true. I'm not going to let them throw a party without me." We looked at each other for a moment.
"So, I should probably tell you something about the other night." I started to say. "The night you healed me from the bite, I had a dream about you."
"I'm not surprised. I was wondering when it was going to happen. It was only a matter of time until you had a real dream about me." He said with a smirk.
"I'll let you get ready." I said before picking up the blood bag and leaving my room again.

I drank from the blood bag as I walked down the stairs.
"Let's not make a big deal out of this." I heard Rebekah say.
"My thoughts exactly." I heard Damon say. I sped to be behind them.
"Rebekah." They both turned around with a slightly surprised look on their faces. "Surprise to see you here." I said to her.
"Chelsea," Rebekah started, but I interrupted her.
"Don't worry about it." Rebekah looked at me with slight surprise. "Damon and I aren't together, so we can sleep with whoever we want." I looked at Rebekah before looking towards Damon.
"Rebekah, what a pleasant surprise." Klaus said as he walked up behind me.
"Nik." She said in slight surprise. I looked at her again before looking at Damon. There were so many emotions mixed in his eyes. Anger, jealousy, love.
"Damon." Klaus said after he put his arm around my waist.
"Klaus." Damon said with his teeth clenched.
"Shall we go Nik? I'm sure they could use some privacy." Rebekah said to Klaus.
"I'll call you later love." Klaus said to me as we walked to the front door. I opened the door and saw Elena standing there. Surprise was written on her face when she noticed Rebekah and Klaus standing behind me.
"Busted." I said before glancing back towards Damon. "We're going to get an earful."
"We better leave before you get it." Rebekah said to me. "Come on Nik." She said before she started walking out, past Elena. I took another sip from the blood bag I was still holding as Klaus walked out of the boarding house.

"Did you two stop taking your vervain?" Elena asked as soon as I shut the door.
"You think we had to be compelled? You underestimate us Elena." I said to her before walking into the living room.
"What's wrong with you?" Elena asked us as Damon walked into the living room. "Rebekah tried to kill me less than forty eight hours ago."
"Not everything is about you Elena." She took a deep breath, calming herself.
"You should know that Esther is planning on killing her entire family. She's linked them all together with a spell. Whatever happens to one happens to all of them." She looked between me and Damon.
"That's great." I turned to look at Damon. "Klaus will finally be dead. We win." Damon looked at me.
"You're just jealous."
"Can we get back to the point?" Elena asked which made us both look at her.
"What problem are you having with that plan?" I asked her.
"What do you mean?" She asked defensively.
"You look like someone just shot a panda bear."
"Well in order to kill Klaus she has to kill all of them, including Elijah." Elena looked towards Damon. "He doesn't deserve this!"
"We're supposed to care about Elijah?" Damon asked her.
"I see her point." I said. Damon and Elena both looked at me with slight surprise. "Elijah tried to save her life and she feels bad that she's getting him killed."
"So, on other words you want to save Klaus's ass." Damon said to me. I rolled my eyes. Elena started to walk away before Damon sped in front of her. I turned to face the both of them. "Don't do anything to screw this up, Elena." He said to Elena.
"Why are you doing this?" She asked him.
"He's right, you know." Stefan said as he walked into the room. "Klaus has to die. They all do."
"See? It's democracy in action." He said, glancing back towards me. Elena shook her head and walked past Damon, straight out the house.
"Well, I'm going to change." I said before speeding to my room.

I got into my room and immediately saw that he left a shirt of his, laying on the ground. I tossed into my closet before grabbing a shirt out. My bed was slightly messy, but I wasn't going to make it neater right now. I grabbed some other clothes from my dresser and went into my bathroom to take a shower.

I walked out of my room to find that Damon was standing with two glasses in his hands.
"Join me for a drink?" He asked me, holding a glass out towards me.
"Sure." I said as I took the glass from him.
"I have to ask you something." Damon quietly said to me. "Why did you turn it off?"
"You want the truth?" He nodded his head. "I didn't exactly turn it off. It just did it by itself." He looked at me with slight confusion on his face. "I just happened yesterday and I didn't know until I was told it happened."
"How does that work?"
"You think I know Damon? All I know is I had emotion yesterday when I woke up and then by the time we got to Elena's I didn't." I took a sip from the glass he gave me.
"So that's what you meant by when you said you might love again." I gave him a nod. "Just to let you know," Damon started to say after a moment ", I'll still be here for you. I'll help you deal when your emotions come back."
"If they come back." I said before taking a few steps behind him. I turned to him. "And if you actually stay." A flash of sadness flashed in his eyes before I walked away.

"Hey Stefan." I said as I walked into the library. "Did you hear our conversation?"
"I wasn't listening. Why?" He asked without turning around.
"No reason." I said before sitting on the couch.

"Brother," Damon said as he entered into the library ", care for a victory drink?"
"We should wait until Klaus is dead." Stefan said, barely looking back towards us.
"Why are you so extra broody? Did you see the way we stood up to Elena? I like you two on my team. Must have driven her nuts." I rolled my eyes.
"You still think she's gonna screw this up, don't you?" Stefan asked, finally turning around to face us.
"I think somebody needs to talk to her. She's not gonna listen to anything I say and Chelsea's in no shape to help."
"What's wrong?" Stefan asked me.
"Nothing. I just don't care." I said before taking a drink from my glass. Stefan gave me an understanding look.
"Then what are we gonna do with her defending Elijah?" Stefan asked.
"Nothing." I said to them. "Elena won't listen to anyone, so we don't do anything."
"Knowing Elena she'll find some way to save him."
"And it will bite us in the butt." I said before standing up from the couch. "I'm not going to be here when that happens." I set my glass on the table before walking out of the room.

I was in the hallway when my phone vibrated.
'We need to talk. Meet me in the woods. ~Elijah' I walked out of the house and sped towards the woods.

I stopped running when I saw Elijah there.
"Elijah." I said. He turned around to face me.
"Chelsea." Elijah said to me.
"What did you want to talk about?" I asked.
"I want to know why my mother would have been burning sage. I know you and her talked last night. I want to know what you talked about."
"Well, it's not really anybody's business." I looked straight into his eyes. "I know she was burning sage, I smelled it. What we talked about was obviously private, otherwise she wouldn't have been burning it."
"I believe that my mother is lying about her attentions." He said, slightly changing the subject.
"She obviously wants her family to be whole." I said, lying to Elijah. "What else should she want?"
"We're about to find out." Elijah said. I turned to see a car pulling up. Elena got out of the car and walked up towards us.

"Chelsea, what are you doing here?" Elena asked me.
"Elijah suspects his mother of lying." I said before turning to him.
"All your mother wants is a new start." She said to Elijah. I knew she was lying before I heard her heart start to pump faster.
"You're lying Elena." Elijah said to her. "You're heartbeat jumps when you are being dishonest. You lied to me last night and you're lying now." Elijah took a few steps closer to Elena. "Tell the truth." Elena looked at me and took a deep breath.
"I never wanted this to happen." She said, looking back towards Elijah.
"What, Elena?"
"We were told that whatever was going to be in that coffin was going to kill Klaus. When we found out that it was your mother…. We didn't know what to think."
"Since her return she says she only wants this family whole again."
"She lied." I said. Elijah looked at me. "Your mother is lying."
"When she asked to see me, I… I thought that maybe she could help. That she would find a way to kill Klaus. It's not just Klaus that she wants to kill." Elena said to Elijah.
"She wants to kill us all, doesn't she?" He said in realization. "She wants to undo the evil she created."
"I'm so sorry, Elijah. I wish there was something I could do to help." She said to him.
"You know, one thing I've learned on my time on this Earth," Elijah looked to me and then to Elena ", be careful what you wish for." Elijah kicked a hole into the ground, grabbed Elena, and jumped down into the hole. He appeared in a moment next to me.
"Are you going to tell anyone where she is?" He asked me.
"Not unless they ask me, but even then, I don't think so." Elijah looked at me curiously.
"You seem different." He said to me.
"I am… at least for now." I said before walking around, leaving him in the woods by himself.

~ I have some more options when it comes to making thing happen since now Chelsea actually has the switch off. Right now, there are only about five people that know that her switch is off. Esther, Stefan, Damon, Elena, and Chelsea herself. Elena doesn't know for sure though.
~ Hopefully the chapter will be up tomorrow before the episode airs. If not, I'm having a spoiler about what something that might happen in the story for the episode.
~ Please leave your thoughts and ideas in the reviews! :)

*Spoiler Alert*
Chelsea sees her mom again.

R&R 'till the next update
