~ I finished this chapter in two days, which I thought I might not be able to do.
~ I had some of the beginning of the chapter planned in my head when I ended the last one.
Psycho17: Despite Klaus not being in the episode for 1912, he will be in the chapter and have a moment with Chelsea, along with two other Orginals. I have decided what chapter Damon finds out about the dream and Chelsea is with him with Klaus tells him about it. I'm going to leave that a surprise until it happens ;)
ENJOY!
Chelsea's POV
I was laying my head against a pillow as I started to open my eyes. The room around me looked unfamiliar. I sat up on the bed and looked around.
"You're awake." I turned my head to see Klaus lying on the bed, over the blankets.
"Yeah." I looked up from him. "Is this your room?"
"Yeah." He said as he sat up next to me.
"It's extravagant."
"It's nothing compared to you." I looked at Klaus.
"You know, you are a bit of a flirt." He gave a small smirk.
"That shouldn't be news to you love." He quietly said to me. His hand rose to my ear, brushing some hair behind it.
"It's not." I said as our heads got closer. My eyes couldn't help but drift to his lips as he came closer to me. "I have to go." I said in a whisper with our lips almost touching. Klaus gently kissed me on the lips for a quick second before looking in my eyes.
"I'm sure my sister wouldn't mind lending you some clothes."
"That's a nice offer but I'd rather wear my own clothes," I took the blankets off of me ", and use my own shower."
"Well, I can assure you that mine is much nicer."
"It probably is, but I would like to arrive back at the house." I got out of his bed and stood facing towards him. "Thanks for what you did last night."
"Anytime love." He stood up from the bed and walked in front of me. "It's the least I could do for you." Klaus gave me a small smile. "I'll text you later, just to make sure you're okay."
"You don't need to do that." I said to him.
"I know." He looked at me for a moment before I walked out of his room.
I was walking down the hall, towards the stairs when I noticed Elijah walking out of a room.
"Elijah." I said. He looked at me.
"Chelsea. Are you okay?" Elijah asked me.
"Yes. Are you going somewhere?" I asked him as I noticed that he was carrying a suitcase.
"I'm leaving. I was going to last night, but I wanted to make sure that you were okay before I left."
"That's considerate of you."
"I must leave now Chelsea. We will meet again someday." I gave him a small nod before he sped away.
I walked down the stairs and stood in front of the door.
"Chelsea." I heard from behind me. I turned to see Rebekah walking down the stairs.
"Hi." I said as Rebekah got to the bottom of the stairs.
"Leaving already? I was hoping you'd stay a while."
"I have to change and shower."
"You can do that here." I gave her a small smirk.
"You aren't the first one to offer." A small smile appeared on her face. "I'd prefer to use my own shower and dress in my own clothes."
"You can always do that here whenever you want." I gave her a nod before turning back towards the door. "Let me drive you." I looked at her. "I'm heading out anyway."
"Sure." I said before opening the door and walking out.
We were pretty much close to the boarding house when I decided to pull out my phone. I didn't notice that I slept with it in my pocket. From Damon I had 3 missed calls and about 5 missed texts. Stefan called once and I had a text from Tyler. I lifted my head as Rebekah pulled up to the boarding house.
"There you are." Rebekah said as she put the car in park. "You should let Nik know you got back safely."
"You could always tell him." I said to her.
"He'd much rather hear it from you." I looked at Rebekah before opening the car door. "See you later?"
"Sure." I said before closing the door. Rebekah drove off before I turned to the front door of the boarding house.
I walked into the boarding house and surprisingly wasn't bombarded with questions from Damon. He wasn't even on the same floor as me. There was no doubt that he knew I was back. I sped up to my room to find him not there either.
I opened a drawer and immediately sensed someone behind me.
"I thought I heard someone." I turned to see Damon standing at the door way. He looked at me before a moment before walking closer to me. "I was worried when you didn't return any of my calls."
"I had my phone on silent since you called yesterday." I put some stuff into the bathroom before coming out to go to my closet.
"Where were you?" I thought for a moment. Telling him the truth might make a small thing seem too big.
"I was with Rebekah." I said to him as I opened my closet.
"Oh, Barbie Klaus." Damon said as I picked out a shirt and some jeans that were hanging up. "Were you with him to?" He asked after a moment. I could tell that Damon wouldn't like it if I told him the truth.
"Yes." I turned to see him after tossing the clothes onto my bed. There was jealousy in his eyes as I looked into them. "Nothing happened between me and him. He just brought me to his house after something happened last night and I fell asleep."
"What happened?" Damon asked with a concerned look.
"I don't want to go into the details." I looked into Damon's eyes. "But I found out about what you did with Abby." His eyes slightly widened. "How did you know that it was going to work?"
"We didn't. It was just luck. How did you know?"
"Us witches have our ways." I said, not giving him the full story. "She's not going to keep her powers, even if she is of the Bennett line."
"But you are and you still have them."
"Yeah, well that's a complicated story." I looked at Damon for a moment. "I need a shower." I said to Damon. He slightly nodded his head and gave me a small smile before slowly walking out of my room. I picked up the clothes that was on my bed and walked into my bathroom.
I put my hair in a ponytail, but let my bangs down. I could hear Damon and Stefan's voices coming from the other room as I put my phone into my pocket.
I leaned against the doorway to Stefan's bedroom. Damon looked from Stefan to me. Stefan turned to see me standing, looking at the both of them.
"Good thing you're here." Stefan said to me. "Maybe now Damon will stop worrying." I looked from Stefan to Damon. He just looked at me, slightly ignoring Stefan.
"I'm fine." I said. "What are you two talking about?"
"The latest serial killer of Mystic Falls." Damon said to me before turning his head to Stefan. "What do you say, brother? You wanna go get drunk?"
"I get it, I get it. You're bored. Your best friend's in jail, you're girlfriend switched her emotions off," 'Did Stefan just refer to me as Damon's girlfriend?' I asked myself ", and you don't have anything better to do with yourself." Damon glanced to me.
"Well, there's that," Damon said after a moment before looking at Stefan ", and I was hoping you could help me solve a murder." He stepped closer to Stefan before taking a book from his hand. Damon stood in front of me, looking into my eyes. "You can tag along if you want to." He said before walking past me, brushing his hand against my hip.
"Stefan." I said which made him turn to me. "I'm not anyone's girlfriend right now." I turned around and walked down the stairs.
"Chelsea." Damon said as I stepped into the living room. He stepped closer to me, almost standing within arm's length away. "Would you like to come with me and Stefan to the Grill?" I thought for a moment as I looked into his eyes.
"Yes." Damon gave me a small smile.
"Damon," I let out a breath ", would you mind if I tried something?" He looked at me slightly confused. I cupped his cheek with my hand before slowly bringing my head closer to his. Damon gently moved his hand so ours were touching. I brought my lips closer to his, before gently kissing him on the lips. The last time I turned it off, he was the one to help me get it back. Maybe it would be the same this time, or maybe it would take something more to bring them back. We parted and he just looked into my eyes, slightly surprised.
"Chelsea," He said in a whisper. We were interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching us. I turned to see Stefan looking at us. He looked at us with a slightly awkward look in his face.
"How about those drinks." I said as I turned to Damon. Some sadness appeared in his eyes.
"Sure." He said with a small smile before he started towards the door.
On the car ride to the Grill, nobody spoke. I think Damon's mind was on our kiss, while Stefan's was probably on Elena or something not related to blood. My mind was on three different things. One thing was getting access to my powers. Right now I have no problem with my emotions being off, except my lack of magic. My magic is a part of me and I feel like I should be able to use it. I thought maybe the kiss with Damon would switch them on, like the last time. He was the other thing on my mind, him and Klaus. Technically speaking, I've spend two nights sleeping with Klaus. To be fair, one of them I was slightly drunk and the other I was vulnerable. I fainted and he held me in his arms. He carried me to somewhere I was safe. Damon would have overreacted if he found out that Klaus carried me to his house. That is something that I would eventually have to deal with, but just not right now. Damon parked the car and we all got out and entered the Grill.
I walked in between Damon and Stefan. I immediately noticed Rebekah, sitting at a table with the mayor. She gave me a small smile before she saw Damon, then it dropped.
"Oh, She-Devil at nine o'clock." Damon said to Stefan as he looked at her. I rolled my eyes.
"Be nice Damon." I said as we walked closer to the bar.
"Being nice is overrated." He smirked at me before we sat down at the bar. I sat between Damon and Stefan.
"So what does a medical examiner, Bill Forbes, and Alaric Saltzman have in common?" Damon asked after looking back towards Rebekah. Stefan started to continually tap his ring against the top of the bar. "Come on, knock it off." Damon said to Stefan. Stefan grabbed a bottle and poured himself a drink.
"You know, quitting blood cold turkey after a ripper binge might not be the best approach. Every time you play that all or nothing game, you eventually leave a trail of bodies. So, I'm thinking, now is a good time to pay our old friend moderation a visit.
"They were all on the Founder's Council, Damon." Stefan said as he looked at Damon. "That's what they all have in common." Stefan took a drink from his glass.
"But why them? Huh? Brian Walters and Alaric weren't from founding families."
"But they were on the council." I said, interrupting Damon. "A council that hunts vampires."
"Who's to say that the killer is a vampire?" Damon asked. "If you're gonna slaughter council members, go A-list. At least in 1912 they killed a Salvatore." Damon started to pour himself a drink.
"Which Salvatore would that be?" Rebekah asked as she stepped up behind us.
"Rebekah, it's been too long." I said to her. She gave me a small smile.
"It has only been a couple of hours." She said before looking between Stefan and Damon. "What is this you three are talking about?" She asked as she sat on a stool, next to Stefan.
~ I re-watched most of the episode so I could plan this chapter and the next one. Some stuff I wanted to put into this chapter, but it's going into the next one.
~ I also have 'Do not go gentle'planned, but some of it could change...
~ What do you think? Do you think Chelsea will be able to access her magic again? When/if her emotions come back, will she chose Klaus? Or Damon? How will Damon react when he hears about the dream? All this will be answered in the next chapter. Not really. I'll save those for other chapters... ;)
*Spoiler Alert*
In the next chapter, Damon and Chelsea sort of have a moment before Stefan interrupts.
~Please check out two of my other stories. 'You Can Never Forget' and 'The Salvatore Sister'.
~The next chapter will be May 1st.
R&R 'till the next update.
