~ I would have finished this last night, but I couldn't get the new episode out of my head. There are only three words that I could use to describe 'Heart of Darkness' It..was...Epic. I planned the chapters for the story that will be based on the episode. :) There will be something about that at the end of the chapter.

flowergirl123: I saw the canadian promo before I had posted the chapter. I could barely hear it, but it was still awesome. I loved the episode.

Psycho17: Klaus learns more about the dream in this chapter :) I'm not exactly sure, at this point, when Damon will learn about the dream. Two chapters ago it was, in a way, explained to Chelsea from Esther about her current 'situation'. Kol will definatelly do some flirting with Chelsea... and in front of Klaus. :)

ENJOY!

Chelsea's POV

I walked into the boarding house to see Damon lying on the couch.
"Where have you been?" He asked me when I closed the door.
"Taking a walk." I said before I went towards my room.

When I got into my room my phone rang.
"Klaus." I said when I answered it.
"I said I was going to call love." He said.
"I know. I never doubted that." I said as I walked closer to my bed. I held the phone between my head and shoulder as I tried to make the bed neater.
"How would you like to join me and my brother for a drink?"
"Well, that depends. What brother?" Klaus gave a small chuckle.
"Does it really matter?"
"Not really." I said to him as I walked over to the other side of the bed. "But knowing your brothers, it's defiantly not Elijah and I don't see you having drinks with Finn." I stood up straight and looked at my bed. "So, using the process of elimination that only leaves one brother. Kol."
"Aren't you a smart one."
"I'd think you'd know that after spending the whole summer with me."
"So, what about those drinks?"
"Sure." I said before stepping towards the hallway. "I'll meet you at the Grill." I hung up on him and started my way out.

I walked in front of the living room and saw Damon, still on the couch.
"So, I know who called you." He said before standing up.
"Let me guess, you don't want me hanging out with Klaus." I said as he walked up to me.
"I don't trust him."
"I know you don't, but you can trust that he won't hurt me." I said before turning towards the door.
"Chelsea." I turned around to face Damon.
"Yeah?"
"Take care of yourself." I nodded my head before walking out of the house.

I walked into the Grill and saw Kol sitting at the bar, by himself.
"So Kol," I started as I walked up to him ", did Klaus leave you all alone?"
"He deserted me." Kol smirked at me.
"That sounds like him." I gave him a smirk before sitting next to him.
"Can I get you a drink?" I took his drink.
"Thanks." I said before taking a sip.
"You've got attitude." Kol leaned closer to me. "I like it." He whispered.
"It's relatively new." I said before giving him and empty glass. "And you need a new drink." I gave him a smirk.
"Is my brother bothering you?" I heard Klaus say form behind me.
"Not exactly." I looked at Kol before turning my head towards Klaus. "I stole his drink." Klaus gave a little chuckle.
"She seems like a fun one Nik." I turned my head to Kol.
"Only when I want to be." I gave Kol a smirk.
"How fun can you be?" Kol asked me with a smirk.
"Just ask your brother." I heard Klaus chuckle.
"Don't even bother Kol." Klaus said.
"Come on brother. Let me have some fun."
"Say another word and I'll tear out your liver." Klaus slid me a glass. "Join me in a drink?"
"I've already had two, but another one won't hurt." I said before picking up the glass.
"You always get the good ones Nik." Kol said before walking towards the bathroom.
"So," I looked at Klaus ", tell me more about his dream of yours." He said with a slight smirk.
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" I took a sip from the glass. "It was you and me, on a couch, and we were making out."
"Sounds like it was fun."
"Well, that's a matter of opinion." I said just as Kol walked back to us.
"Are you two having a lovers quarrel?" He asked as he back down.
"No, we're not." Then my phone started to ring. "I'll be right back." I said before walking away from them.

I walked near the bathrooms and answered my phone.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Elijah took Elena." Damon said to me.
"That doesn't sound like him." I said to him.
"Do you know where he could have taken her?" He asked me.
"No." I lied.
"Chelsea, if you know where she is…."
"I said I don't know where she is Damon. Do you think I'd lie?"
"No, but with your switch off, I can't tell."
"…Do you trust me?" There was a moment of silence on his end.
"Yes."
"You hesitated."
"Chelsea,"
"Good bye Damon." I hung up on him before slipping my phone in my pocket and walked back towards Klaus.

I walked back to Klaus and Kol.
"Miss me?" I asked before sitting back down between them.
"Immensely." Kol said to me.
"Oh, shut it Kol." Klaus said to him. Kol just smirked at me.
"What about you?" I turned my head towards Klaus.
"What about me?" He asked me as he slid his glass towards me. I stared at him before taking a sip from his glass.
"I remember her from last night." Kol said, interrupting us. I turned around to see Caroline walking in the Grill. "She looks like a tasty little thing."
"That's Caroline, taken, and defiantly not your type." I said to Kol.
"Would the lovely Caroline join us for a drink?" Kol asked her, holding up his glass.
"I'd rather die of thirst. But thanks." She said before looking to me. "I want to talk to you."
"Or do you want to ditch her and come with me?" Klaus asked. I looked to him.
"No and no." I slid off the barstool and started to follow Caroline out of the Grill.
"Isn't she stunning?" I could hear Klaus ask Kol.
"She certainly looks good walking away from you." I heard Kol say to Klaus before I walked out of the Grill with Caroline.

Caroline and I walked up to a bench across the street from the Grill.
"What are you doing with those two?" Caroline asked me.
"Having a few drinks." I answered her.
"Yeah, with Klaus."
"Who cares if I'm drinking with Klaus besides Damon?
"I do," Caroline started to say ", and you should."
"But I don't." Caroline was about to say something before looking behind me.
"Chelsea." I turned my head to see Klaus coming towards us.
"Are you serious? Take a hint, she walked away."
"That doesn't mean anything." I said to Caroline.
"Fine. I give up." Caroline said before walking away.

"Let's talk." Klaus said as he sat down on the bench.
"About what?"
"I want to talk about you. Your hopes, your dreams, everything you want in life." I looked at him for a moment. 'Should I tell him?' I thought. 'He probably already knows.' "Come on, take a chance, Chelsea."
"Okay." I sat down next to him and a smile came across his face. "Where should we start?" I asked him. His smiled slightly grew larger.
"Favorite Color?" He asked me as I let out a breath.
"Blue. You would think you would know after spending the whole summer with me."
"We were quite busy, if you've forgotten." Klaus paused for a moment. "Since I have completed what I was trying to do all summer, I have time to get to know you." He looked straight into my eyes. "I fancy you Chelsea. All I want to do is get to know you. So, what's your favorite season?" I looked at him slightly skeptical.
"Summer." I answered after a moment of thinking. "When I was human, me and my friends would go down to the beach and hang out. We would make sandcastles and bury each other in the sand." I stared at the tree behind Klaus. "Sometimes we would stay there for hours, just laying on our towels, listening to music. I forgot to put sunscreen on and I got a bad sunburn." I looked at Klaus. He had a small smile on his face as I told him the story.
"Sounds like you enjoyed yourself."
"I did. Then we moved here and nothing's been the same."
"Things can be like that." Klaus said to me quietly. "If you want. You just have to make it happen." He was looking into my eyes before his expression changed. His hand went to his heart and he stood up.
"What's wrong?" I asked, standing up next to him.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing." I said before he turned towards the Grill.
"Kol." He said before going towards the Grill. I followed behind him.

I could hear people moving, then I could recognize a voice.
"Tell your sexy doctor, good work." I could hear Damon say. Only guess is that he was saying it to Alaric. Klaus sped down the stairs. I stood at the top and watched as Klaus took the dagger out of Kol and knocked Alaric against the wall. Klaus went towards Stefan and I flashed to the bottom of the stairs. Damon looked at me, slightly surprised. Klaus turned his head towards Damon.
"I should have killed you months ago."
"Do it." I looked straight at Damon. "It's not going to stop Esther from killing you." He said glancing back at me before looking back towards Klaus.
"What did you say about my mother?" Klaus asked Damon, taking a few steps closer to him. I stepped closer to them.
"You didn't know we were friends with your mummy?" Damon asked Klaus before glancing back towards me. "Yeah, we have a lot in common. She hates you as much as I do."
"Don't." I said when Klaus sped in front of Damon. He stopped at they both looked at me.
"You still would save him?" Klaus asked me, almost angrily.
"Yes." I said without hesitation. I looked to Damon, who looked surprised. Klaus sped in front of me and looked into my eyes.

"Leave them alone." I looked away from Klaus's stare to see Elijah standing at the top of the stairs. "We still need them, Niklaus."
"What did mother do?" Klaus asked Elijah, who just stood at the top, looking behind us at Damon. "What did she do, Elijah?" Elijah walked down the stairs, ignoring Klaus's question. He took out a phone from his jacket pocket and walked towards Damon.
"You tell me where the witches are or I'll have my sister kill Elena right now." Elijah said to Damon.
"We don't know where they are." I said, which made Klaus looked at me.
"And besides," Damon started to say, adding to what I was saying ", you told me we had until after nine."
"I'm sure Rebekah will be more than happy to start her work early." Damon's eyes glanced from Elijah to me.
"There is one spot where they would be." I said. Stefan stood up and walked next to me. "The witch house." Klaus turned to me. "Where we hid the coffins."
"Well come on then." I heard Kol say from behind us. I turned to face him. "Let's go save our lives brother." He finished to Klaus, who looked to me. Klaus walked past me and up the stairs, Elijah followed. "What about you sweetheart, coming with us?" Kol asked before I looked to Damon.
"I'm just gonna go." I said to Damon, who looked slightly disappointed. I turned around and started following Elijah and Klaus with Kol by my side.

I walked between Klaus and Kol, with Elijah on the other side of Klaus. We were walking towards where I thought Esther might be. It only made sense that they might be there.
"Did you know what they are doing?" Klaus asked as we walked.
"Yes." I said honestly. "I didn't think that she was planning to do this so soon."
"You didn't think our mother would kill us on a full moon?" Kol asked.
"I've had a lot of things on my mind and besides with the two of you flirting, I didn't really have time to say anything."
"What she really means is for you to stop flirting with her Kol." Klaus said.
"Simmer down brother." Kol said with a slight chuckle.
"Jealousy doesn't suit you Nik." I said to Klaus.
"I don't get jealous." Klaus said to me.
"If you say so."
"We're here." Elijah said as we saw the clearing.

Esther stood with Finn, inside a circle of salt. A star was drawn inside with five torches at each point, around the circle.
"My sons, Chelsea," Esther glanced at me ", come forward."
"Stay beside me, Mother." Finn said, holding out his arm behind him. Esther stepped into the circle, closer to Finn.
"It's okay. They can't enter." Esther said as she looked from Klaus to Elijah. Klaus, Elijah, and I stood still as Kol stepped closer to the circle. The flames grew bigger, making him step back.
"That's lovely." Kol started. "We're stuck out here, while the favorite son plays sacrificial lamb." He stepped to the side, still close to the circle. "How pathetic you are, Finn."
"Be quiet, Kol. Your brother knows virtue you cannot even imagine." Esther said.
"Whatever you think of us, killing your own children will be an atrocity." Elijah said to his mother.
"My only regret is that I did not let you die a thousand years ago."
"Enough. All this talk is boring me." Klaus said. "End this now, Mother, or I'll send you back to Hell."
"For a thousand years, I've been forced to watch you." Esther started to say, looking straight at Klaus. "Felt the pain of every victim, suffered while you shed blood." She looked to Elijah. "Even you, Elijah, with your claim to nobility, you're no better. All of you," Esther glanced at me ",are a curse on this Earth." She looked between her sons. "Stretched out over generations. If you've come to plead for your life, I'm sorry, you've wasted your time."
"You know as well as I," I started to Esther ", with a spell this big, there are going to be ripple effects that you don't see coming."
"I know what I'm doing Chelsea. You may not feel the need to help the balance of nature, but you were still born a witch." She locked eyes with me. "I know the effects of the spell and I am prepared to face the consequences."

Klaus stood next to me, holding my hand. He must fear that he won't survive. I let out a gasp as I looked at Esther.
"NOOO!" I heard Esther say before I fell into Klaus's arms.
"Chelsea." Klaus said to me. He looked at me with concern and sadness in his eyes. I looked into them before my eyes closed and I fell into darkness.

I stood, with nothing but the color white surrounding me again. My eyes blinked a couple of times before my mother appeared in front of me again.
"Hello Chelsea." She said with a smile.
"Hi mom." I said as she stepped towards me.
"Chelsea, I know you are aware that Esther was channeling all living and dead descents of the Bennett blood line." I nodded my head.
"She said she has my powers." My mom gave me a small sad smile.
"That is true. But something happened, that severed her connection. Abby Bennett, Bonnie's mother," She clarified for me ", was turned into a vampire in an attempt to stop Esther." My mother stood in front of me and grabbed my hands. She looked straight into my eyes. "She no longer has her powers and yours were taken from you." My mother took a deep breath. "The spirits of nature are giving you your powers again."
"But they wouldn't be mine, they would be Abby's."
"It doesn't matter. Our bloodline comes from the Bennett's, even though it's mixed with another bloodline. We are still connected to them. We all share the same power."
"So then, I'll have magic again?" I asked.
"Yes, but there is a catch. Right now, with the way you are, you wouldn't be able to access them."
"Why not?"
"The spirits and I have talked. As long as your emotions are off, you won't be able to access your powers. We have agreed that it's a way to help the balance of nature. This way you don't misuse the power. It's going to be different for you Chelsea." She took a deep breath and gave me a small smile. "You must decide for yourself."

I could tell I was being carried, but I didn't know by who.
"Here you go." I heard a voice say as I was laid onto a bed. My hand was behind held, but it was slipping away.
"No." I managed to say quietly. Somebody laid down next to me.
"I won't leave." The voice said to me before I drifted off to sleep.

~ I have somethings planned for 1912, but it's not very much. I might watch the episode again to write more plans out for the chapters.
~ I gotta say that I am actually excited to write the chapters for 'Heart of Darkness', but sadly that won't be for a while :( (about five weeks) I believe that time will seem to go quick until then.

*Spoiler Alert*
The chapters for the episode 'Heart Of Darkness' there will be Damon and Chelsea scenes that impact the Damon/Chelsea/Klaus triangle.

~ So I have to say something about 'Heart of Darkness'. I don't care what Kol did do Damon in the episode, I still love him. And the Damon and Elena scene at the hotel? If Jeremy wasn't there to interrupt them, who know what could have happened? ;)

~ The next chapter will be up around April 29th.

R&R 'till the next update
