~ So, because some of you do like Chelsea and Klaus I managed to put a little of them in here. There is also sort of some Chelsea and Damon for those of you that are rooting for them.
~ I was going to try and get this up yesterday, but my head is full of things that happened in 'Before Sunset' and what could happen in the season finale. I'll have some stuff about that at the end of the chapter.

Psycho17: I want to say the dream is a flashback because it seems like something that would have happened. It actually makes a bit more sense to say it was because of what I have planned in the next few chapters.

As we get closer to the end of the season, for the story, the spoilers might be a bit broader so they don't give too many things away. When it comes to the season finale I am going to do my best to leave that spoiler free, which will hopefully make it more ecxiting.

ENJOY!

Chelsea's POV

I walked into the boarding house and went straight to the basement. I could smell blood as I turned the corner. Stefan was bent against the freezer, drinking from blood bags.
"Hey." He turned his head to me. "Save some for the rest of us, won't you?" I tried to joke with him as I stepped to him. "Can you give me one or do I have to scrape out what's in these?" I asked as I pointed to the bags on the floor. He reached his hand in the freezer and tossed me a bag. "Thanks and go easy on those." I started to drink from the bag. As the blood flowed down my throat, it gave me warmth. It made me feel better, calm. I noticed I finished the bag, so I reached in and grabbed another one.

"You're not such a good influence on the younger generation, are you brother?" I looked and saw that Damon was looking between me and Stefan. His eyes looked at the ground, at the mostly empty blood bags. He looked at Stefan, who was drinking from another bag. "Oh, come on. Slow down, brother." He walked up to Stefan before reaching to take the bag from his hand. "Woah. Control, remember?" Damon asked after he had the bag in his hand. "Doesn't matter whether it's blondes or blood bags, same principles apply." Stefan sighed.
"He's right." I said to Stefan.
"I'm always right." Damon said to me.
"What did you say to Elena this morning?" Stefan asked without even looking up from the blood bags in the freezer.
"Oh, you're stress eating. Sublimating." Damon said as he looked at Stefan. You two deserve each other with all your pining and moping." Damon tossed the bag onto a nearby shelf. Stefan stood up and stepped towards Damon.
"I asked you a question, Damon." Stefan asked, staring at Damon.
"I told her what she already knows." Damon said as he looked at Stefan. "You're a vampire and you drink human blood and to get over it." He turned to the freezer and shut it. "Which is the same thing I'm telling you. Own it, live it, love it. Stop being ashamed of who you are." Damon turned around but stopped and looked back to us. "And I suggest if you don't want to be caught in the middle of a very kinky foursome," Damon looked at me with a smirk ", that you make yourself scarce." He looked at Stefan before walking away.
"Hey," I said to Stefan after Damon went upstairs ", if Elena can accept Damon for his dark side, she will accept you for yours." Stefan turned to me. "It's only a matter of time and last time I checked, you have a lot of it." I turned around, grabbed the blood bag that Damon had his hands on before, and went upstairs.

I walked into the living room and saw that Sage was sitting on the piano bench, next to someone who was playing the piano.
"Oh, you're here." I said with almost no enthusiasm as I walked towards the couch.
"Nice to see you to." She sarcastically to me as I sat on the couch. I heard a quick sound and the front door closed. 'Stefan must have left.' I thought before taking a drink from the blood bag. "Why are you here?" Sage asked me.
"Well, I live here and I had nothing else planned."
"Are you two getting along?" Damon asked as he walked in carrying two bottles.
"I can get along with people I don't like..." I turned my head towards Damon ", I got along with you in the beginning."
"Yeah, after you made my head explode."
"Only because you tried to kill me." Damon filled some cups. "Then you did kill me later that night."
"But you came back…"
"…and conspired with Stefan against you."
"You two seem like an interesting couple." Rebekah stood a few feet behind Sage. Damon and Sage both turned their heads to her. "I stole it from Nick who stole it from a queen." Rebekah held up a bottle of champagne. "Not sure which one." She stepped into the room. "Well, this is depressing." She looked between all of us. "What happened to the party?"
"It heard we were boring and ran away." I said which made Rebekah smirk.
"You aren't that boring." Rebekah set the bottle next to Damon's and sat next to me on the couch. "At least, not what I hear from Nik."
"It's not going to be that kind of party." Damon said as he handed Rebekah a drink.
"Says the guy who implied a four way." I said as I took a glass from Damon.
"If you get Stefan instead of Sage that might be a good idea." Rebekah said as she glanced at Damon.
"I'm not getting in a four way with my brother."
"Party pooper."
"How can he be a party pooper if the party isn't here?" I asked Rebekah.
"Well, then we bring the party here." Sage said before standing from the piano bench. She grabbed a bottle and started drinking from it.

I was dancing with Damon and Sage. It was mainly because I was pretty much drunk. The only times I dance is either when there is a school dance, I am really bored, or I had a few. Damon turned to me from Sage and basically rubbed his body against mine. He worked his way up from my stomach to my head. I looked into his eyes before he twirled me. I came back and he held me, like he used to. It almost felt like time stopped as I looked into his eyes. His hands slowly moved down to my hips before he slowly spun me away. I smiled at him before he turned back towards Sage.

I walked over next to Rebekah.
"Come on Bekah, join us." I said as I stood next to her. "Have some fun." She turned her head to the guy playing the piano before she bit into his neck. I turned my attention to Damon before I felt my pocket vibrate. I pulled out my phone and saw that he was calling. Damon was looking at our direction as I headed towards the door.
"Can you wait five minutes?" I asked into the phone as I walked out of the house. I ran a little ways away from the house, so the music wasn't heard. "Now we can talk."
"What was the music?" Klaus asked me.
"Just a party with your sister." I said to him. "And Damon and Sage."
"Just the four of you?" He asked suggestively.
"Oh, no." I groaned. "Not you to." I shook my head. "What did you want?"
"Just checking up."
"Aww…. you miss me?" I heard a slight chuckle.
"Just making sure that you aren't bored without me."
"Of course I'm not. Everybody is throwing a party without you here."
"It's nice to know I'm missed."
"Yes, very much." I sarcastically said to him. "I should get back to the party." I ended the call and slipped the phone back into my pocket.

The house was quite a ways back, so I was standing alone in the woods. There was a slight breeze of wind and it felt calming, like it was helping me. It felt good to be by myself in nature again. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I actually felt like myself, before he came into town. That feeling that started after spending so much time with him changed things. I could feel it, the same feeling for both of them. For one stronger than the other, but it was enough to make things complicated. I took another deep breath, calming myself as the wind gently blew. I let out a sigh before starting to walk back towards the boarding house.

I walked into the boarding house and noticed that nobody was in the living room. There was something that I could feel behind me.
"You know it's funny." I turned around and saw Sage. "Damon's pretending to be in love with you and you can't even see it."
"Damon is in love with me." I said to her.
"You really believe that, don't you?" She shifted her eyes.
"Yes, I do." I took a breath in. "I believe it just like you believe Finn still loves you." Sage's expression started to change. "He obviously doesn't want you if he….." She grabbed my throat and started to choke me.
"Don't talk about Finn like you know him." Her veins started to show.
"Don't think you can attack a hybrid." I said to her before her grip loosened. She groaned in pain before her hand dropped from me and went to her head. "You may be 900 years old, but I can still take you."
"As much as I like the sight of this," I stopped the pain on Sage before seeing Rebekah standing by the front door ", we need to get going."
"What happened?"
"I'll tell you on the way." I looked back at Sage before following Rebekah out the door.

I sat in the passenger seat as Rebekah sped down the road.
"The underbelly of the Wickery Bridge is made of the wood from a white oak tree." She said to me.
"And they could be used to make a weapon that could kill you." I looked at Rebekah. "That's why you've been hanging around Damon."
"Why did you want me to come along?"
"The wood can be destroyed quicker if there is more than one person and I honestly don't want to be alone."
"All that pent up rage isn't good you know." I glanced out the window and saw that we were getting closer to the bridge.
"I've always have quite the temper." She parked the car and got out. "Come on," She started to say as we got out the car ", we have to get this wood gone before Damon shows up."

I knew it would upset Damon, but I helped Rebekah destroy the wood that could kill her… and Klaus. They were still linked so if one died, they all would. In my mind I was telling myself that I was destroying the wood because it would kill Rebekah and she's my friend. By extension, her brothers would also die. Elijah was the nicest one in comparison to Kol and Klaus. What would Damon do when he found out I was destroying the wood? Would he think I'm only doing it to protect Klaus?

I turned my head when I started to hear a car.
"He's here." I said to Rebekah who was watching the wood burn. 'He's gonna be pissed' I thought. The car came to a halt before Damon came out. He let out some frustration as he basically shut his door. His eyes were full of anger, betrayal, and surprise when he saw me standing.
"What are you doing here?"
"Helping me." Rebekah stepped into Damon's view. "Your grand plans always seem to get ruined, don't they?" She said to him. "Sorry to disappoint you. Again." Rebekah looked at me before speeding away.
"Why did you help her?" Damon angrily asked me.
"She's my friend Damon." I said to him as calmly as I could. "I help my friends."
"That doesn't mean that you have to." He sped in front of me and looked at me. "This is about Klaus, isn't it?" He asked me after a moment.
"Would you stop trying to be jealous? We can't be jealous of each other." I took a deep breath. "We can't afford to be jealous of each other." I swallowed before looking behind him. There I saw Sage, staring at us. Damon turned his head around and I sped away.

I walked into the library and saw Stefan sitting with a glass in his hands. We didn't say anything to each other as I plopped backwards onto the couch and let out a sigh. What I said to Damon is true. We can't afford to be jealous, even if we can't help it. With everything that's going on, we can't be distracted with each other. I could hear his footsteps, but I didn't move. My eyes stayed on the ceiling.

"Little early in the day for you, isn't it?" Damon asked. 'He must have noticed Stefan.' I thought.
"Just having a little toast." Stefan answered Damon.
"To what?"
"Control."
"If you're happy, I'm happy." Damon's footsteps stopped and I took a deep breath, still staring at the ceiling. There was a moment of silence. "Chelsea." Damon said quietly. I could feel his eyes looking at me. "Are you okay?" I took a deep breath.
"Yeah." I said before slowly moving into a sitting position before standing up. "I'm just gonna go to bed while you two bond." I avoided looking at Damon as I started to walk away.
"Chelsea." I stopped and turned to Damon, reluctantly looking into his eyes. "Good night." I gave a small nod before walking to my room.

~ I can say that I partially have the season finale for the story planned. I'm not going to say much, for those of you that haven't seen 'Before Sunset' but I still can't get what happened to Klaus out of my head. I can say that Chelsea won't like it, but there will be surprising conversations in the chapters for the story that involve Klaus/Chelsea/Damon. I hope that they do something to bring him back in the finale because I have an idea on what I could do with it. I can say that the way that it's looking, I will more than likely continue this story into season 4, when it comes in September.

~ So, what do you think of this chapter? I tried to add some humor into it to sort of balance the rest of the chapter. What Chelsea said about when she conspired with Stefan against Damon, will be something that will be explained in the prequel of the story, which I might start sometime in June or early July to fill the gap of no new TVD episodes, and to give a look into what happened in season 1 and 2 with Chelsea.

~ The next chapter will be May 13th.

*Spoiler Alert*
Klaus and Chelsea will share more than one kiss before the season finale.

R&R 'till the next update
