Mystic Falls
(Damon POV)
"What do you want to do today? I've no real plans today." I said, looking at Lily, Enzo, Elena, and Bonnie.
"We could watch TV?" Elena looked at me.
"Or a movie." Bonnie said, perking up. Enzo looked at Lily, smiling.
"What about a bit of shopping? I could get you a whole new wardrobe. Maybe we could do a bit of all of it. Hm? What do you think Lily?" Li- Mom looked at all of us. No doubt she was worried about hurting their feelings.
"I would like a bit of everything. However, I think we should all come to an agreement on what we do today. We could just sit around. Is that not what people do during summer?"
"Unless you have a summer job."
"Stefan better not be sleeping the days away." I looked wistfully up at the stairs. Damm you Stefan.
(Klaus POV)
I was watching the children eat… they had maybe 5 hours before I began the party, I'd have to tell them they were to attend of course… now that I think about it, Kol hadn't been there when the first party took place and nor was Finn. They'd be exposed to new things today. I was happy for them.
"Kol." Kol looked up at the sound of his name.
"Yeah, Nik?"
"I am hosting a party today. You, Tyler, Jeremy, and Kai will attend this party. If I have to, I will drag you back to the house to attend, despite what you might be doing at the time. You have five hours of free time, I assure the party will be fun. What with all the other… species."
"So… you want us to attend a party? But you got onto us for Marcel's party."
"Marcel's parties are not like mine."
"Fine. Let's see what dear old Nik has up his sleeves, hm?" He smirked. "I'll give you a hundred dollars if you can entertain me with that party." I smirked.
"If you doubt me, then you've clearly not seen Oliver."
(Tyler POV)
We were attending one of Daddy's parties today. I don't really see, or remember, the difference between his parties and Marcel's parties. We were currently watching the television. Next we'd go see a movie. This month so far has been awesome. Then of course I get to spend a whole month in Mystic Falls. Best. Summer. Ever. Uncle Kol turned on the show we were supposed to be watching.
The Sock? What type of excuse is that? We need a lying hat. Never trust a man in a hat. Honesty. That's what happens when you try to keep kids quiet. The Genius. I've seen this episode before.
Last time Eva got back on and then got kicked back off again. And Izzy! Yes! ... He seems surprised to be kissed by her. Emotional teenagers. ... I don't have a say in that though do I? I'm a freaking hybrid of vampire and werewolf. Trent's getting kicked off I guess? That is why I love Leshawna.
"What time is it?" Kol asked, beaming.
"Adventure time! With Finn and Jake." I sat on the edge of my seat to watch.
Rainy Day Daydream? A knife storm?! What type of weather do you guys have? That sounds... awesome! Practising fencing? Sword fighting? I wish we could have that type of weather. I remembereth. Finn's awesome.
What Have You Done? What type of episode is that? Kind of reminds me of... Peter Pan. ... They have no idea what their doing, do they? I mean... I have no one to compare them to... Kol would probably let the prisoner out to play with them. I am no man's bosom. I love this episode even more than the others. That sounds ominous. I don't like it. Finally Jake gets to say something amazing. I couldn't help but laugh at what Finn and Jake said next. It was just so funny.
(Kai POV)
Kol, currently, was borrowing money from Klaus. He had gone up to Klaus' room and had now come down with lots of money. He showed us what was maybe about ninety bucks.
"First, we'll watch trailers, courtesy of my phone, and then we'll watch the movie. So here's the money for a cab and the movie. Awesome right?" He ushered us outside and soon we were riding in a taxi. We watched the commercials, and as far as I could tell, Anger was my favourite. Though there was also a commercial about the show that had a scene in it. I suppose. I hope so.
(Kol POV)
The movie was starting! I am so ready for this! And to top it off, we're going to a party next!
Wow... I wonder if that's going on in Kolinn or Geena's head... or mine when I was a baby...
Safe? Broccoli! AHHH! Hm hm hm. Dessert? Grr... Heh he. WOW! I love... ALL of them.
... I wish my parents loved me. Horrible. Family island. I already love this movie. We did not die today, I call that a qualified success. Brilliant. See? Fear is good for something. All of them are funny.
MOVING?! I love their screaming. ... I've moved plenty of times in my life, I don't care to do it anymore but it's okay. Golden bridge isn't made of solid gold?! She can't live in a cookie? I love anger. You call that a house?
Ha ha ha. Love all of this. Thursday?! Damn it! Awww. I gasped when I saw what they called pizza. Broccoli pizza.
... Sadness. Life's problems? Crying? Originals hardly ever cry. Why should we cry? Come kiss me goodnight? What are you? 12?
Scream that curse word we know. Whoohoo! Tuesday?! ARGH! I hate humans! They are useful for nothing!
... I still wish my parents loved me. Though, I have my siblings to love me, I don't need parents. It's so peaceful. Relaxing. Calm.
Love Anger. Sadness in the back of your mind. Urgh. School. Such. A. Bore. Ha ha ha. ... Half that kid's head is shaved. Oh. Shit.
Ha, Anger. Yes, say that curse word you know. You can? Fix this?
So, let's see, Riley can be angry, disgusted, and scared. She's probing us. Hm? Yay?
... She... just lost... a part of herself? ... I felt a chill go down my spine.
I'm positive you will get lost in there. Sadness is irony. That looks like a brain.
I wonder what my parents talked to me about most of the time when I was a toddler. Was I ever a toddler?
That says DANGER. What's abstract... thought. come here me. Ha ha ha. RUN!
Imagination land! I licked my lips at the forest. French fries! Pre School World? I never went to preschool. Whatever that is.
It's like we don't learn anything. I gaped in horror watching them rip off the teddy bear's head.
This is horrible. NEVER MOVE EVER! Kind of makes me wonder why people ever 'grow up' or 'act their age'. You know what? Make Finn and Elijah watch this movie every time they say something like that.
Facts and opinions. Those get mixed up?
Wake her up? ... Are you going to give her a nightmare? I can fly. Nope.
Subconscious? Oh. Oh, yeah! Jangles? Who's that?
Go for it! Yeah! Anger scares Fear a lot. I'm afraid of what might happen... please let Riley be happy.
I moaned when the train fell over into the 'forget forever' pit. She's running away. Do something! Or not... I have no clue what to do. ... Nik would know what to do, wouldn't he?
Sadness! Do something! Joy! Bing Bong! Oh no, no, no, no! I sighed.
The bad school day. Joy...? Joy's... crying... Oh. Mmm. I think that for once a movie might have made me sad. Which isn't right, I'm Kol Mikaelson. I'm never sad!
They found the rocket! Yes! Do it! You can do it! Come on! Go Joy! GO! GO! GO! YES! Wait... what happened to Bing Bong? I gasped, he's been forgotten! Imaginary friends... one day all will be forgotten. It's not fair.
Joy, hurry! ... ha ha ha! Go! She's going to do it! Sadness! Joy! Run! Hurry! they changed their minds. Jake? Awesome! Uh, the trampoline! Good idea Joy! They did it! YES!
Disgust, I love you. I found myself on the edge of my seat when Joy told Sadness to fix it. Which she did. Awesome! Now what?
I smiled, They're learning how to get along now. Is that a mixed memory? Family! Family Island is back! I love this more. New curse words. Puberty? This is brilliant!
Calm and happy again, actually funny. That boy is hilarious. Girl, Girl, Girl. Code Red. Whoohoo! Give us that puck or your dead meat! I smiled. Oh... she was 11 years old... She tried to run away at 11!
He's ruled by anger. Anger problems. Funny kitty.
"I love this movie!" I smiled at them, Tyler nodded.
"I love the credits, and the movie." Jeremy said.
"It was a brilliant movie, a family movie. Or a childish psychology movie."
"To top it all off, we're attending a party next." I beamed at them.
(Jeremy POV)
We were going back to the house now, we were talking about which part we liked most. I liked the part where Joy and Sadness were being a dog. I used to have a dog, can't remember whatever happened to him though… Time flies when you have the supernatural for friends and enemies.
Kol's favourite part was when Bongo helped Joy get back to land but hated the part about Joy trying to get back to headquarters with out Sadness. I agree it was bad but I didn't hate any part of the movie, I thought it was all wonderful.
Tyler's favourite was when Joy and Sadness were trying to scare Riley and when Riley had a fight with her parents. His least favourite part was when they were thrown into the place where her fears are kept, I agree that it wasn't fair that they did that to them when they were just trying to help Riley function.
I'd gotten over my dislike for Kai by now. His favourite part was all of Anger's scenes and the credits, like he said before at the movie theatre. I wish we could go back and watch another movie but then Klaus said he'd drag us back if he had to… I wasn't keen on being dragged any where.
(Klaus POV)
Where are they? They have ten minutes to get here. I was pacing on the balcony above, watching for the children to arrive back home, the witches and vampires were already here, Genevieve and Marcel leading them as they came in. I suppose they know better then?
Here come the humans. I sneered to myself. Their not coming. I smiled, and quickly strolled down the steps taking two at a time. I walked to the entrance as only five minutes remained. They still weren't here.
One minute to go and then I saw them, at the end of the block. They were laughing and talking. I vamped over to them and grabbed Tyler by his arm. "You four are almost late. What have you been doing?" I growled.
I hurried them into the building to see that Jackson and Father had arrived with their wolves. I beamed. That means Oliver can put me in a better mood. I let go of Tyler's arm and gave them all a warning look, to keep them from leaving. Tyler looked to the floor, shuffling his feet as I did.
"You will stay at this party. Am I understood?" They nodded. I smiled, to let them know that everything was fine. "Try to have fun okay?" I kissed their foreheads before vamping off to have my own fun. I need to talk to Kara, and maybe get Davina and Kara to talk, it's my only chance to keep Kara happy with her kind.
(Tyler POV)
'Daddy didn't seem happy.' I thought as I looked around at all the people here. It's… almost crowded. It's just like the first party Daddy ever threw. I like it. I knew Koi wouldn't be here this time though. Supposedly Daddy had killed her.
I looked around to find someone to party with. What I did notice was Oliver looking around. I knew that I shouldn't talk to him, but he was a werewolf and I'm a hybrid. What could go wrong? I walked up to Oliver. He stared at me.
"You're Klaus' boy, aren't you?"
"My name is Tyler. We have chips and dips over there, and we have punch over there."
"I can see that." He rolled his eyes at me.
"Oliver. Try being nice?" Jackson came up behind us. Oliver gave him a resentful look. I know how I feel when he does that… I looked at Jackson.
"He was being nice. I was just complaining to him." Jackson smiled.
"And what were you complaining about?"
"That the only thing we had were chips and punch." Jackson looked over at the table.
"Actually there's more than that over there." We jumped to look over there and sure enough, Hayley was still putting things on the table. I smiled at Jackson as Oliver smiled and walked off. "A tip, don't ever try to lie to an Alpha." Jackson walked off, though he gave me a big friendly smile.
(Jeremy POV)
So far this party was awesome. It's been going on for an hour and a half now. I've been meeting people all over the place, they seemed genuinely happy to meet other people. I joked with Diego that Klaus had set this party up as a dating service and, to my astonishment, he'd actually laughed. He thought it was funny. I never thought I could make a strange vampire laugh.
"Hey my name's Jeremy." I said to a blonde man drinking punch in one of the small clear cups. He looked at me and held out his own hand.
"Name's Oliver. I think we've met before." I thought, looking at him. Then I nodded.
"Yeah, we met last year. But we didn't really talk. Jackson was getting on to Tyler for something."
"Probably being out in the open where anyone could hurt him, piss Klaus off. I don't see why we need bother about worrying what Klaus would feel if we did something. He's just like the rest of us werewolves. He's got a temper, but so do we."
"Yeah, Tyler used to have a temper too." I replied, remembering when we used to fight instead of get along.
"Most werewolves learn how to deal with the amped up emotions. It's better than having those emotions built up for you. It usually makes a wolf a douche bag." I smiled.
"I think I like you. You're cool." He smiled.
"I try."
(Kol POV)
I was dancing around, having my own fun. I'm an Original. Once a few times I'd talk to people. Like Sophie or Davina. Someone I thought was worth talking to. Davina, it seems, might be pregnant… with Tim's kid.
"Are you okay Vina?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for asking Kol." She smiled at me. "I appreciate that you worry about me but I'm fine."
"Are you going to stay fine?"
"That's what I'm planning anyway." I frowned at her.
"Come off it Davina, what happened? You're healthy, yeah, but you're feeling hurt. What happened?"
"Klaus brought Kara to the party, not just me. Klaus personally invited Kara."
"He also, firstly, personally invited you. He wants you on the town council doesn't he?"
"Kara hates me." She was close to tears. I pulled her up to me, shushing her.
"Don't cry darling. I'm sure Klaus is up to something." She froze at that.
"Kol, do you know anything about what he's up to?" I smiled, shaking my head.
"Nik could be up to just about anything with that woman." She snuggled into my shoulder and I smiled, hugging her tighter to me to comfort her. I began to slowly twirl, to make it appear we were dancing.
"Kol, if you did know something, you'd tell me, right?" I nodded.
"I'd tell you. I promise." She calmed down enough after that, she was happy again. I let go of her after the song was over. She kissed my cheek and I returned the favour as she turned to walk off.
"Thank you, Kol."
"You're welcome, Vina." I looked around and saw Klaus joking off with the other leaders. Jackson, Tyler, Kieran, Marcel, Genevieve, and the other leaders. I vamped up at him, grabbing him around the waist. I needed to talk to him.
"Kol!" He called, surprised. "What is it?" The others were watching us, some more closely than others. Elijah was 'leader' of the Originals supposedly. I smiled up at him.
"Niky, come on. Dance with me. I'm bored." He rolled his eyes, grabbed my arms and spun me around to face him.
"Is that really what you want?" I looked him squarely in the face.
"Nik I need to talk with you." I looked at them. "Privately." He nodded and grabbed my hand, taking me away from them. I stuck my tongue out at them, mocking them that Nik still saw me as more important than these stupid meetings.
When we were in the clear I turned to him. "Out with it Kol. What's bothering you?" I smirked.
"Davina and Kara." His eyes widened. "As King of New Orleans, shouldn't you know that they don't get along?" He glared at me.
"I'm trying to fix it Kol." I got myself closer to him.
"Then try harder. Vina was almost to tears about how much Kara hated her, which leads me to believe that Vina and Kara had a fight in that little party of yours. What are you going to do about it?" He snarled at me.
"Don't for a second think that you can tell me how to run my kingdom. I know what was said, Kol. Did you even ask Davina what happened?" I frowned at him, not backing down. Which only served to make him angrier. "No, of course you didn't. All Kol wants is to keep Davina happy."
"What are you up to with Kara Nguyen, Nik?" I shot back. "We know something's going on."
"I am trying to warm her up to the idea of Davina being in charge Kol! If you dare to threaten my leadership again, I'll make sure you can't sit for a week." He threatened. I only stood straighter.
"Anything for Davina." He turned me around and smacked me. I yelped, putting my free hand behind me to cover my bottom.
"Behave yourself Kol. I wouldn't put Davina in any danger. She's more important to me than Kara." I nodded.
"Then what are you playing at Nik?"
"You'll learn when it's time for you to learn Kol."
(Kai POV)
It was time for bed but Klaus wasn't sending us to bed, something Damon didn't do. Not that I'm complaining. I've been having fun talking to people, getting to know them and all around it was just a fun party.
Kol, last I'd seen him, had a frown on his face as he came back from somewhere with Klaus. He'd been having the most fun I would have thought. Klaus and Kol must have had a fight. Not my business. Still…
I walked over to Kol when Klaus left his side. "What happened?"
"Nothing for you to worry about. Just a bit upset."
"Since when does Kol get upset?" He beamed.
"Yeah. Thank you Kai." He smirked before vamping off. I'd cheered him up that easily? Well I guess it's hard to keep an Original down that long. Even for another Original.
Now, though, Klaus was sending faction after faction away from the house. First it'd been the vampires. Then the witches. After that it had been Jackson's pack and then Tyler's pack. Finally the humans and it was only Elijah and himself left. Every faction had left after a five minute interval from the first.
"Children, it's 11 PM. Time for bed." Klaus called. I nodded. He'd let us stay up another hour. That made sense I suppose. That party had been awesome but with the mention of bed, I noticed how tired I really was. All the moving around…
(Damon POV)
We'd had a good day today. I myself had fun. With Mom, Elena, Bonnie, and Enzo. I'd also begun to call Lily Mom more often than I'd been doing before. That was the other part of fitting her back into her role as our mother. Learning to call her mother.
Sounded easy, actually a lot harder after not having or caring to do that with anyone for a while, her attitude was actually a lot like it was when she was our mum, which would make it so easy to do that anyway.
"Today was fun."
"I think the word we're looking for is awesome." I corrected Bonnie. She nodded.
"I think today was most exquisite." I smirked. Same old mother.
"I'm off to bed, to get ready for another 'most exquisite' day." Enzo grinned at Mom and they both departed, Mom saying goodnight. Enzo, not so much. After that Bonnie also went to bed.
Elena on the other hand was sitting next to me, head on my shoulder. "Should we get to bed too?" I looked at her, smiled, before picking her up bridal style and carrying her up to my own room. "Damon." She cried, smiling at me, hitting me playfully.
"Sorry Elena, but a question deserves an answer." I set her on her feet and began to get undressed. "We can either sleep… or we can have a bit of our own fun before we go to bed." I smiled at her. "Which do you want?"
"I can't resist having a bit of our own fun." She took her top off as she went to make sure the door was closed and locked… though everyone in this house could easily get the door open. She came back with her pants off and I grabbed her, pants off myself, and slammed me into the bed, Elena on top of me, our lips colliding in passion.
