Thank you for all the continual support, this was a speedy update because I was already thinking about their interviews and what would go on. So without further delay... Read on!
Kol, Caroline and Katherine shuffled into the studio where they were having a radio interview. Elijah had divided them up and set them off to conquer. Klaus, Rebekah and Lexi we're currently waiting to go onto a talk show. Leaving Damon and Stefan to do a sibling interview at one of the local magazines.
Kol, Caroline and Katherine stood opposite the radio show presenter/DJ known as Enzo.
"Hi there, this is Enzo and you are listening to BBC radio 1. And today I am being joined by musicians Kol Mikaelson, Caroline Forbes and Katherine Mikaelson. Hi guys, how're you doing today?" Enzo greeted, welcoming the three who were smiling and waiting for their turn to speak.
"We're good mate, thanks. How about you?" Kol replied on behalf of the three of them.
"I'm doing great thanks. It was a really welcome surprise finding out that we would be your first interview after you guys 'disappeared'." Enzo replied, smoothly moving onto the topic of interest.
"Well, we thought we owed it to our fans to give an explanation of what was going through our heads when we were on a break." Katherine replied, shrugging as if them vanishing wasn't a big deal.
"May I ask what caused you all to disappear? And so quickly as well." Enzo asked, playing the role of curious interviewer very well.
"I guess it was the fact that a lot of things were revealed before we were ready for the public to know about them. And it just got a bit out of hand, so we took the time to recuperate and sort things out as well as where our heads were at." Caroline cut in, trying her best to explain it without sounding as if they were running from their problems.
"One of those things being your new relationship with lead of The Originals, Klaus Mikaelson. Right?" Enzo asked, looking at Caroline who gave him a pained smile.
"Yeah, I think that was the one thing that we received the biggest reaction from." Caroline agreed, biting her tongue from saying anything else.
"I saw some of that. A lot was quite negative, especially from some of Klaus' fans. I guess we all want to know... Are you still together?" Enzo asked, raising his eyebrow in question.
"I think after watching the music video for our new song Bulletproof Picasso showcases the fact, pretty well that they are still together." Katherine answered for Caroline, squeezing her hand in reassurance.
"Ah yes your new videos. Katherine, you showed off that bump of yours in the video. How is the pregnancy coming along?" Enzo moved on after noticing the discomfort from talking about Klaus and Caroline's new relationship.
"It's going good so far which is a big relief. Everyone in the group has been so supportive and helpful which has made the pregnancy a lot easier." Katherine answered, unconsciously placing a hand on her bump.
"That's great to hear, I'm sure everyone is very excited to have a bumbling baby around. How's your husband Elijah coping with the pregnancy?"
"I think it's safe to say he knows when to be around me, and when to hide. My moods have been swinging like nobodies business." Katherine joked.
"You're telling me. Let me let you in on a secret mate. Whatever you do. Do not eat a pregnant woman's sandwich. Ever. It's a sure fire way to almost lose a hand. If it wasn't for Elijah I would be one hand less." Kol added in, winking at Katherine who was scowling in his direction and Caroline who was giggling.
"Too true." Caroline joked.
"Enzo! I am being bullied right now. Are you hearing this, I am just a poor pregnant woman." Katherine said dramatically, smiling when Enzo, Caroline and Kol started laughing.
"Alright, alright, enough with picking on Katherine. So I guess that only leaves you Kol..." Enzo left it open ended so Kol could say anything he wanted.
"If I'm being completely honest. I am gay. I didn't know it before but I do now." Kol admitted, getting a cuddle on either side from Katherine and Caroline.
"Congratulations Kol, we here at BBC radio 1 support you no matter what. And as for a boyfriend?"
"No boy in the picture yet. But if you're interested here is my number. And for those who don't know what's happening, I am passing your lovely regular radio host-slash-DJ Enzo my mobile number." Kol informed as he wrote his number down and slid it to Enzo jokingly.
"And I am taking this and will call you later." Enzo drawled.
"Kitty Kat, did we just witness the start of a new relationship?" Caroline asked, turning to Katherine.
"I believe we did" Caroline giggled.
"Okay now onto the subject of your new EP, I heard we are going to get to hear a song off of it from the three of you?" Enzo asked.
"Yup, new and exclusive version by the three of us. Hopefully it'll be okay." Caroline smiled before they moved off to the area where they would perform.
I don't mind
Letting you down easy but just give it time
If you don't hurt now then just wait, just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feeding on
Katherine took lead vocals whilst Caroline played the guitar with a loop pedal to get the other parts like the bass line and Kol played the drums, both Caroline and Kol coming in during the harmony bits
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you? [x2]
Ain't it fun?
Living in the real world
Ain't it good?
Being all alone
Caroline and Kol came in together with Katherine.
Where you're from,
You might be the one who's running things
You could ring anybody's bell and get what you want
See it's easy to ignore trouble
When you're living in a bubble
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you?
Ain't it fun?
Living in the real world
Ain't it good?
Being all alone
Kol and Caroline had written the song together. Caroline wanted a song that taught people to stand up for themselves and not have to listen and go to their parents or mothers in her case for everything; and most importantly that they could make it on their own and that the world wasn't as scary as it seemed.
Ain't it good to be on your own?
Ain't it fun, you can't count on no one
Ain't it good to be on your own?
Ain't it fun, you can't count on no one
Ain't it fun?
Living in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
Cause you're on your own in the real world
Kol wanted wrote the song with the idea of being by yourself, different to everyone around you. The outcast. But how that can be an adventure in itself and finding yourself is just something you'll inevitably have to do.
Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun? Baby, now you're one of us
Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun?
Ain't it fun?
Living in the real world
Ain't it good? Ain't it good?
Being all alone
Don't go crying to your mama (To your mama)
Cause you're on your own in the real world (Don't go crying)
Don't go crying to your mama (To your mama)
Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
Cause you're on your own in the real world (This is the real world)
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world (This is the real world, this is the real world)
"That was brilliant. Thank you Kol, Katherine and Caroline for that wonderful performance which you the public will be able to access on our website. It was a pleasure." Enzo said, wrapping up the interview and his radio show.
"I wonder how the others are doing?" Caroline mused, looking over at Kol and Katherine who were giving each other smiles at the successful interview.
"Today I am joined by 3 eighths of the super group now known as The Original Kitty Kats. Klaus Mikaelson, Rebekah Mikaelson and Lexi Branson. Welcome!" The host Camille O'Conner greeted.
"Thank you for having us." Rebekah replied, smiling gracefully.
"It's a pleasure to have you here, thank you for coming." Camille replied sweetly.
"I assure you that it is us who are thankful of you for having us on such late notice." Lexi reassured.
"Non sense. I would never deny an interview with the hottest band. It was just a few hours ago that you released your new EP as the super group and now it is the most downloaded album of the decade. How does that make you feel?" Camille raved.
"We're obviously very grateful to all our fans who have stuck by us through thick and thin and never given up hope on us. I know a lot of celebrities say it but we honestly couldn't have done it without all of your support. And I guess now would be a good time to announce that all funds will be going to the two charities The Point Foundation and Bullies out." Rebekah spoke confidently before passing over to Lexi who continued.
"The Point Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people achieve all they can in their education through financial support, a mentoring program. And then the Bullies Out one speaks for itself, it supports individuals, schools, youths and communities who are affected by bullying. They help educate you about bullying and how to deal with it and how to prevent it. These are just 2 of the main things we are passionate about solving and helping." Lexi explained.
"Wow, that's amazing. I understand the Point Foundation is in a way a show of supporting your brother Kol's coming out but the bullying?" Camille asked curiously.
"Well, let's just say there was a lot of negativity towards one of our other band members and it was the worst experience because not only did she feel bad about herself and have terrible thoughts but we felt the pain and sorrow. We would never wish that upon anyone, not even our worst enemies." Lexi said passionately, remembering the panic when the found Caroline holding a handful of pills which were quickly dropped when Klaus grabbed her.
"Klaus, what do you have to say about this?" Camille asked, curious as to why he hadn't spoken up yet.
"I can reveal that it was Caroline Forbes who was the one receiving the brunt of the abuse." Klaus said grimly.
"Ah yes, reports said you were dating?" Camille continued reading her cues.
"We still are, we wouldn't have been if we didn't find her before she ingested a bottle of pills." Klaus said gravely looking at Camille who's eyes widened almost comically.
"Why would she do that? Is she suicidal?" Camille asked, trying to phrase it kindly.
"Of course not. She did it because she was receiving hate mail and death threats from all of my fans and Tatia's fans as well as some others who just wished to join in the torment." Klaus explained angrily.
"Oh god. Is she okay?" Camille asked, genuinely worried.
"Yes, she deleted her social media and is avoiding it at all costs. Would you mind if I put a message out there?" Klaus asked, gesturing to the camera or what would seem the general public.
"By all means, go ahead." Camille agreed.
"Hi there, this is Klaus Mikaelson. I am currently dating Caroline Forbes and we are very happy together. In no way was Caroline a home wrecker. Tatia Petrova was a poisonous person and pushed me away in the relationship, we had drifted apart for many years. Now to my fans as well as hers. I do not appreciate the verbal and typed abuse that you targeted at my girlfriend. In no way is it acceptable behavior and it is absolutely not acceptable. I love Caroline Forbes and nothing you say will change that. So I would stop the hate you are spewing or I will sue you or get you imprisoned for threatening to kill someone. Thank you." Klaus finished his speech before walking off.
"I guess that's the end of the interview then?" Camille guessed.
"Yeah, sorry." Rebekah apologized before standing and following her brother with Lexi tagging along behind her. Let's just say that their interview didn't go as well as the others.
"Damon, remind me to work with you on how to reply to a question eloquently. And with less use of the words : dude, bro and brosef…" Elijah said as he read the article in the magazine that the got interviewed for.
"At least my answers were interesting unlike Saint Stefan over there." Damon whined, defending his interview skills.
"Elijah stop picking on Damon." Rebekah barked before placing a loving kiss on Damon's lips and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Don't yell at my husband!" Katherine yelled causing everyone to wince. She was having one of her mood swings so everyone was now on edge in fear of annoying her.
"Shit." Lexi cursed.
"Don't use that language around the baby!" Katherine cried.
"What baby! It's still in your stomach you ditz!" Kol cried, gesturing to her belly.
"Are you calling me fat!" Katherine said shrilly, moving towards Kol only for Elijah to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her tightly against him so she couldn't move.
"GUYS! SHUT UP!" Lexi bellowed, getting everyone's attention.
"They wrote an article about Caroline. I don't know how they managed to twist his words though." She mumbled, furrowing her eyebrows and looking down at the article.
"What are you talking about?" Damon asked, peering over her shoulder.
"Quick hide the knives, lead guitarist for Kitty Kats, Caroline Forbes is suicidal?" Damon said, reading the headline.
"Elijah why the hell did you let that happen?" Katherine demanded, turning around and poking a perfectly manicured finger into her husbands suit jacket.
"Why did he let what happen?" Caroline's voice called out as she and Klaus walked into the room.
"It's nothing." Lexi scrambled to rip the page out of the magazine and throw it away.
"No. Show me." Caroline asked, moving to take the magazine only for Lexi to rip the page out, ball it up and throw it to Damon. Thus throwing it to Rebekah who threw it to Kol who was next to the fire which was where it landed next.
"Oops?" Kol said unapologetically.
"Come on guys. What did it say that was so bad?" Klaus asked, moving behind Caroline.
"Nothing just the usual gossip magazine that painted one of us in a bad picture. The norm." Stefan shrugged before taking a sip of his drink.
"I hate the media." Caroline groaned, burying her head into the crook of Klaus' neck.
"Preach it sistah!" Damon called. Elijah pinched his nose.
"It is sist-ER. ER. Not AH! For god's sake!" Elijah cried.
What's going to happen next? I'm not to sure to be honest. Let me know if you have any ideas! Maybe their first concert as the super group?
