Battle of the Bands Chapter 11: Bulletproof Picasso, a vampire diaries fanfic

Hi, sorry for the late update. Hopefully this is okay, I wasn't sure how I was going to go about it so I did a bit of a time jump :)

"Where are they now? All of the members of the popular singing groups The Originals and Kitty Kats seem to have just disappeared off our radars after the famous music showdown held in Las Vegas several months ago. Rumour has it they disappeared after someone aired their dirty laundry." All of them watched the screen and the news story.

"This is ridiculous, how could they possibly still be going?" Katherine cried from where she was sat next to Elijah who put a comforting arm around her.

"Amongst this dirty laundry was the scandal that the lead guitarist for the Kitty Kats, Caroline Forbes, and lead vocalist for The Originals, Klaus Mikaelson, were in a secret relationship; the question is, for how long? The couple were spotted kissing and cuddling up to each other at the end of one of the shows, just a few days after the breakup between Klaus and famous vocal artist Tatia Petrova. Could he possibly have been cheating on her?"

Caroline let out a shaky breath and left her spot on the couch and walked over to the French doors, looking out over the sea side. Just like Rebekah predicted, she received the brunt of hate mail and hate tweets wishing her to die or kill herself. She had to delete her social media in order to hold onto any sanity.

Klaus stood and walked over her, bringing his arms around her waist and tugging her back into a comforting embrace.

"I am so sorry sweetheart." Klaus apologised, kissing the top of her head.

"It's not your fault, I should've known they would react like this." Caroline denied, holding back the tears that threatened to fall. They stayed there in their loving embrace while listening to the rest of the story.

"Next up we had drummer for The Originals, Kol Mikealson who was spotted having a secret romantic rendezvous with Jeremy Gilbert. Could our notorious playboy be gay?"

"Anything from him yet, Kol?" Rebekah asked, looking over at her brother who looked ashen and ashamed.

"No." Kol grunted.

"There is nothing to be ashamed of Kol. We love you no matter what." Lexi comforted, putting a hand on his shoulder and squeezing it.

"Congratulations are in order for the lead singer of Kitty Kats, Katherine Mikaelson as she is rumoured to be pregnant with her first child. But with all of the recent scandals is there a possibility that it's not her husbands?"

"Elijah, I swear." Katherine started but got cut off when Elijah planted a kiss on her lips.

"I know. I know you would never do that. Just relax, I don't want you to worry." Elijah soothed, placing one hand in hers and intertwining their fingers together and the placing another on her growing baby bump.

"New relationships are being unveiled not only with Caroline and Klaus but with Damon Salvatore and Rebekah Mikaelson. The couple were spotted with matching tattoos of songbirds. Anonymous sources say 'The couple are very happy but there could be rocky waters ahead as we all have secrets we are keeping from each other. Especially those two in particular.' A bit ominous but lets hope that they can keep it together."

"Alright. That's enough." Stefan declared after seeing the weary look his brother and Rebekah exchanged.

"We've been hiding for over 3 months now. It's getting ridiculous." Lexi agreed, moving over to Stefan who put his arm around her waist.

"We need to get out of this stupid funk that we're in. Come on. We are rock/pop stars who cares what people think of us? We all love each other and we're all each other needs. So I say we raise a big middle finger to them and yell out fuck you!" Lexi ranted, grabbing everyone's attention.

"And how do you suggest we do that?" Rebekah asked, looking at the blonde.

"Simple, we put out a kick ass album that practically screams we don't care what you think." Stefan added and smiled when he saw Caroline nodding.

"I agree. And we should do the music videos as another salute of fuck you." Caroline added, smiling for genuinely for once in three months.

"Let's get started then." Klaus agreed before everyone set out to writing the songs.

2 weeks later and they had enough to release a new EP under the name The Original Kitty Kats. They were at Caroline's private mansion by the sea where they were hiding out and because it was so secluded where she was and the only people nearby were the local villagers, they decided to do some of the shooting outside.

The first shots were done to the musical intro which were of candid moments where Klaus and Caroline were wandering through the village hand in hand and shopping in the market.

Am I made of paper
'Cause I tear so easily
Am I made of vapor
Because I disappear
Do I have to have a reason
For anything I feel
Just be glad I'm real
Glad I'm real
Am I real

Then there were shots of Klaus singing to Caroline as they wandered and ran about in the village. Ducking in and out of houses and shops. And a shot where Klaus was gazing at Caroline as they sat on the bed of their pick up truck.

Are you made of lead paint
A bulletproof Picasso
All the virgin saints
Put you here to care for me
I don't need a reason
For anything I feel
Just be glad I say what I mean
And mean what I say to you

Caroline sang as she pulled Klaus along the beach to where the local kids were playing a game of football. They had shots of them asking to join in then playing with them on opposite teams. One shot was where Caroline shot a goal and Klaus picked her up by the middle and swung her around in victory.

We don't need a reason
For anything we feel
We don't need a reason
Picasso's at the wheel
So roll this top down, hell with this town
Leave our bags behind
We don't need a reason
'Cause I got you, and you got me tonight
('Cause I got you, and you got me tonight)

Kol was sat in the drivers seat of the pick up with Caroline in the middle and Damon on her other side. Kol sang as Damon and Caroline sat back and pointed to the different things that they were seeing. Kol rolled his window down and moved his hand to make his arm appear to be making a wave.

Did you ever see the waves break
Into a million pieces
Or stay awake
With someone who was dying
You don't need to tell me
Anything at all
I'm just glad you're here
Glad you're real
Are you real

The shots of Katherine singing were of her walking from the bed in one of Elijah's shirts to the porch where Elijah was sitting watching the waves break. She placed her arms around his neck and gazed into his eyes as she sung.

Am I made of timber
'Cause I'm on fire
Will you remember
Tonight for very long
You don't need to sell me
On anything at all
Just say what you mean
And mean what you say to me

They shot Rebekah's part as she sat on the edge of the dock with her feet skimming the water as she watched the sun set in the distance. They shot Damon moving behind her and sitting with legs on either side of her so she could lean back into him as she sung.

The next shot was of all of them around a camp fire but it focused on Lexi singing as she watched the couples smiling, laughing and having fun. She got Kol and Klaus rough housing each other and prodding fun at Elijah.

Amber waves of grain
Fly by highway lanes
Waited for this change
Seems like my entire life
If only the good die young
We'll outlast everyone
For some of the things we've done
And we've just begun

They shot Damon singing as he and Rebekah walked around the village market, laughing and joking. They managed to get the shot where Damon secretly bought a bracelet for Rebekah and got the surprised shot of her face when she received it. It was clear that the bracelet was a promise between the two.

(Oh)

The last shots were of them all on the flatbed of a big truck they managed to find, playing a concert for the locals around a bonfire. It focused on Stefan who was singing and sending smiles to Lexi who shared them back.

Woah (You got me tonight)
Woah (You got me tonight)
Woah (Oh you got me tonight)

Woah

The last bit was all of them harmonizing and running about on the beach chasing each other. And in the final part it was a wide shot of everyone including Elijah hugging each other in a line, standing together. Strong and proud.

They finalized, edited and put together the album and music videos for every single one of the songs. They uploaded the album to iTunes and the videos to their VEVO and booked their tickets for the states.

"First stop where it all started. Vegas. I booked the concert and everything is ready." Elijah announced as the all got comfortable on the private plane.

"Everyone is going to be going to different interviews. I have divided them into different groups so we will divide and conquer." Elijah continued, watching as everyone nodded.

"But remember guys. We're here for each other no matter what." Rebekah spoke up.

"Forever and Always." Katherine agreed and everyone repeated after her.

It was time to get their lives back on track.

Hopefully that wasn't disappointing. Leave me a comment, review and suggestions of what could happen next or what you would like to see x
