Chapter 2:)
I woke up to lots of noise coming from downstairs. Then there was a knock on the room door. "Lexi its Stefan can I come in?" I hear Stefan's voice say through the door. "Sure it's your room after all" I reply sitting up in the bed. Stefan opens the door and smiles at me, "You have nice nap." he asks sitting down on the bed.
"I did thank you, didn't realize how tired I was." I reply.
"It's been a long few days."
"I know, have you gotten any sleep?" I ask him.
"Not much." he admits.
"Then you get some sleep and I'll hold down the fort." I say getting up.
"That's not necessary..." Stefan starts to say.
"There will be no discussion; don't make me go all mother hen on your ass." I threaten him.
"Lexi…"
"Go to sleep you haven't slept in two days." I order him.
"I am kind of tired." He finally admits.
"I know you are so, get some sleep and I'll see you later." I say as I walk across the room and close the door behind me.
I down walk the stairs trying to find someone who could tell me where I could find something to eat. I walk into the living room to find Damon sitting the couch. "Hey" he says when he sees me.
"Do you have something to eat around here?" I ask sitting down on the other side of the room. "Sure we have O+ in the fridge in the basement."
"Thanks" I say turning to leave.
Damon said "He told you right?" he asks not nothing to mention Stefan's name.
"He told me some yes." I reply turning to look at Damon.
"I love her Lexi." he says looking up at me.
"So does he even if he won't admit it to himself." I reply.
"He doesn't love her as a vampire, he told her so himself."
"Stefan knows that Elena loves you, and yes because she is different he finds it hard to love her."
"If you love someone you love them no matter what, surely you understand that." Damon says.
"I do understand that, Damon." I say sighing.
"He obviously didn't care that much when he was jumping in bed with Rebekah."
"Its not need to make things up Damon." I reply turning to leave.
"He didn't tell you then." Daman says.
"Tell me what?" I ask turning around again.
"That he got friendly with Rebekah." Damon says slowly emphasizing ever word.
"What do you mean he got friendly with Rebekah?"
"He slept with her, again." Damon explained. I am speechless for a while minutes. "It's true." Damon says as I walking around and walked away. I was still busy processing what Damon had told me when I walk into the kitchen and found Elena and Jeremy talking softly to each other. When they saw me they both smiled at me. "Hey Lexi wondered where you went." Jeremy said smiling at me. He sure smiles a lot I think to myself. "Sorry about that was exhausted so I went to sleep." I explained.
"Did you sleep well?" Elena asks.
"I did thank you, but I'm starving."
"There's blood in that fridge." Elena said pointing to the fridge.
"Thanks." I say. After I had found what I was looking for I turned around to find Elena had disappeared and Jeremy was making himself a sandwich. "Ill go eat somewhere else." I say heading for the door.
"That's not necessary." Jeremy says stopping me dead in my tracks.
"What?" I ask stunned turning to him.
"It doesn't bother me anymore have gotten used to it." Jeremy explained.
"Wow." Is all I can manage to say.
"Come with me I know where we can eat." Jeremy say placing his sandwich on a plate and walking passed me. He leads me to the far end of the boarding school and opens the door. When I step through the door into a little garden lit up with candles. "This is so pretty." I saying going to sitting the grass.
"We built it because it is a peaceful place it's easier for Bonnie to do her magic in a peaceful." Jeremy explained before he took a bit from his sandwich. I slowly lift the bad to my mouth but couldn't drink from it. "You don't have to be shy about it." Jeremy says seeing my hesitation. "I don't usually eat in front of people or at least humans." I explain.
"I see it really doesn't bother me though, but if you're not comfortable to eat in front of me then ill go." Jeremy started to say.
"No that's okay if just haven't been around anyone who didn't me eating except for Lee." I explain taking a sip from my bag.
"Lee?" Jeremy asks.
"He is… was my boyfriend."
"Where is he now?"
"He died."
"I'm so sorry to hear that." Jeremy said sympathetically.
"Thanks." I reply.
"So you are the one who kidnapped Stefan?" Jeremy asks changing the subject.
"Yes I am, I hadn't seen him for a while and I needed to talk to someone and Stefan has always been there for me."
"I'm glad he has you and that you have him; even though Elena and Stefan aren't together anymore he has still saved my life on several occasions and I owe him." Jeremy said before taking a bit from his sandwich.
"How do you feel about Elena and Damon?" I ask Jeremy.
"I not sure not going to say I'm the biggest fan of it."
"Do you know think is just the sire bound or something else?"
"It must the sire bound, isn't it?" Jeremy asks looking up at me.
"Jeremy a sire bound can only happen if the feelings are there …" I start to explain.
"Damon has like Elena for a long time." Jeremy interrupts me.
"From both side Jeremy, Elena must love Damon just as much as he loves her." I say in thought.
"Well it doesn't matter its Elena who will have to pick between Stefan and Damon." Jeremy says "If Stefan still loves her.""He does Jeremy but he is so hurt because of Elena and Damon because it's his brother and his girlfriend that he doesn't want to allow himself to feel anything for her." I reply looking Jeremy in the eye.
"How do you know?" Jeremy asks.
"I have been around for a long time, and I know Stefan very well." Just then Matt came into the room "Sorry to interrupt but Kol is here and he wants to see you Jeremy." He says looking at Jeremy before turn to me "You ready to meet a massive pain in the ass." He asks.
"Haha lets go." I say getting up and following Jeremy and Matt back inside. When we got inside Jeremy want to put his plate in the sink before heading to the living room. We stopped in the doorway. I noticed an unfamiliar face sitting the couch where Jeremy and I had sat for the spell. The man or boy should I say looked up at us before saying "Hi Jeremy." As if they were best friends.
"Kol, why are you here?" Jeremy asks not moving from his position in the doorway.
"I just wanted to know how our little hunter is doing today." Kol said before looking at me.
"Why hello there I don't believe we have had the pleasure." Suddenly Kol was standing in front of me. "I'm Kol Mikaelson." He says taking my hand and kissing it. I was about to say something about how it wasn't a pleasure to meet him when I got an idea.
"Hi I'm Lexi Branson." I reply giving him a huge smile.
"It's very nice to meet you." Kol replied returning the smile. I'm going to have to have to wash my hand about 30 times I think after he let go of it.
"Kol want exactly do you want?" Jeremy asks moving to stand right next to me.
"Do I need a reason to come visit my friends?" Kol asks smiling at him in while that makes him look like a bad guy in a horror.
Damon laughed from his seat on the couch.
"Is something funny?" Kol asks looking at him over his shoulder.
"No nothing, just wouldn't say we are friends seeing as we have tried to kill each other several times." Damon replied.
"Well just wanted to see if you have made any progress in finding the cure." Kol says.
"We haven't Stefan disappeared and we were to busy looking for him to do anything else, sorry." Damon replied.
"That would be my fault." I interrupt Kol. He looked back at me.
"I haven't seen Stefan in a while and really missed him so I sort of kidnapped him." I explain looking Kol straight in the eye as I talk.
"Haha i see." Kol laughed.
"Haha much to implosive for my own good." I say laughing with Kol.
"Implosive isn't always a bad thing though." Kol says winking at me.
"Ohh I know sometimes it can be a very good thing." I reply smiling at Kol. I caught sight of Caroline staring open mouth at me; I tried to give a reassuring smile without Kol seeing. She saw my smile and closed her mouth nodding at me.
"Such a delightful person, hope you'll be around for a while." Kol said.
"Lexi will be around, she is helping us find the cure." Caroline says.
"That is fantastic." Kol says emphasising every word. I simply smiled at him.
"Well I must be getting back to my sister and brother." Kol says throwing a quick look over his shoulder and then looking back at me. "would you like me to walk you out?" I ask Kol. "That be very nice you." He replied following me outside. "Perhaps you would care to join me for dinner this evening?" Kol asks me.
"I would be honoured to be your date for this evening, pick me up at 7." I say walking back into the house and closing the door behind me before Kol could say anything else.
I walk back into the living room and everyone looks up at me. "What the hell was that?" Damon asks.
"What was what?" I ask pretending not to know what he is talking about.
"You were flirting with Kol." Caroline says.
"Oh that."
"Yes that" Jeremy says.
"What are you up too?" Damon asks.
"I'm not up to anything Damon." I reply before turning and heading back to the little garden that Jeremy showed me. About an hour later Jeremy stepped through the door and took a seat next to me. "Its 6 now your date is in an hour." He says.
"I better get ready then." I say but don't move.
"Are you really going to go on a date with that idiot?" Jeremy asks.
"I have to." I reply.
"Why? You don't strike me as then type who says yes to every guy who asks you out." Jeremy says.
"Kol is Klaus's brother."
"Yes so?" Jeremy asks still completely confused.
"I need to get close to Klaus" I explain.
"Why?"
"It's personal Jeremy."
"I can keep a secret." Jeremy says.
"What possible reason could you have to want to get close to Klaus." Jeremy asks talking more to him self then me.
"I have to go get ready." I say standing up.
I walked into Stefan's room and didn't find him sleeping so I went to shower. When I came out of the bathroom Stefan was sitting on the bed staring at me.
"What you think?" I ask gesturing to Dark blue dress I'm wearing.
"I think you should wear the red one, Kol likes the colour and he will like the colour on you." Stefan says tossing the red dress which was on the bed at me.
"Thanks, but why are you helping me choose a dress that Kol would like most instead of accusing me of loosing my mind?" I ask Stefan as I head back into the bathroom to change.
"I do think your crazy for going on a date with Kol." Stefan admits when I come out of the bathroom.
"But you're not going to do anything?" I ask walking up to him.
"No I'm not." He replies.
"Zip me up please." I say turning around.
"You're doing this to get close to Klaus right?" he asks as he zips the dress up.
"How did you know?" I ask turning around to face him.
"Lexi I have known you for over a century."
"That's true."
"Just be careful please." Stefan says.
"I'll be fine, if Kol gets to touchy ill just tell him you'll get jealous." I reply with a smile.
"I'm serious Lex." Stefan says but smiles a little.
"I'll be fine dad." I say walking back into the bathroom.
"You're older then me so I cant be your father."
"Yes but I have more fun."
When Stefan doesn't say anything I walk out of the bathroom to find him looking at a photo which fell out of my bag. It's a picture of Lee and myself smiling at the camera.
"It's a beautiful picture." Stefan says when I walk over to him.
"It the last one that was taken of us." I say putting it back in my bag when Stefan heads it to me.
"Lexi…" Stefan starts.
"Please Stefan don't…" I beg him.
"You haven't talked about it at all."
"I know nut when I'm ready I will." Before Stefan could say anything else there was a knock on the door.
"Pretend you didn't hear it, we aren't done talking." Stefan says blocking my way when I head for the door.
"I can't vampire remember have excellent hearing, I'll be back later." I say when he didn't move.
"May escort you down stairs?" Stefan asks smiling at me offer me his arm.
"Haha always the gentleman." I say put my arm though his and we walk down the stairs.
When we got to the bottom of the stairs Jeremy and Caroline were standing in front of Kol neither looking to happy to see him. When Kol sees us he smiles , " Good evening Lexi you look lovely." He says kissing my hand that hasn't around Stefan's arm.
"Afternoon Kol." Stefan says to Kol.
"Hi there Stefan." He says nodding at him.
"Ready to go?" I ask after about 2 minutes of silence.
"Yes lets." Kol says offering his arm. I smile at Stefan before letting go of his and taking Kol's.
"Where are we going?" I ask Kol after we had both gotten into the car.
"It's a surprise." Kol replies mysteriously.
"I don't like surprise." I mutter.
"Haha me neither." Kol says starting the engine.
"Well at least that one thing we have in common." I say.
"I think you'll find we have lots in common." Kol argues.
"Really like what?" I ask faking interest.
"You'll have to what and find out." Kol says smiling at me.
"I suppose I will." I reply.
