Battle of the Bands Chapter 14: These Are The Days of Our Lives, a vampire diaries fanfic

GOD THIS HAS TAKEN YONKS TO POST! I am sooo sorry, but I had completely lost my Klaroline muse and it's so hard to find it. And it's gotten exceptionally harder now that they are on separate shows. So here is the new update, it will get better (my writing), I just need a few updates to get back into the groove of it. Sorry!

Rebekah, Caroline and Lexi were sat in a recording studio trying to put their heads down and write a new song for their next album. The both the guys and girls had agreed that there should be two tracks on the album which are each separately from the original bands. Caroline was sat on the piano bench, tinkering away as Rebekah and Lexi lounged on arm chairs.

"Ugh! God! I hate this, why are we finding so hard?" Caroline grumbled.

"Hey girlies" Katherine greeted, walking into the room, "how is it going?"

"It's not." Lexi answered.

"How about, we step back to how we started out? Lexi, start a beat on the drums, make it simple." Katherine commanded, before picking the bass up and handing it to Rebekah.

"Join in once she's got it going. And Care, keep going with what you were playing on the piano." Katherine said, and slowly they came together, adjusting their tempos and changing chords accordingly.

"There we go, now lyrics!" Katherine said, grabbing a note pad and scrawling out the lyrics that came to her as the other three played in the background. It was another 3 hours before Katherine had finished, and the girls had created a cohesive piece which had a bridge and everything else needed in it.

"The lyrics are written in my key but you can change it to suit you Care." Katherine passed the lyrics to Caroline who shook her head and pushed it back to the brunette.

"You are as much part of this as we are, and you are going to sing this and perform it once Caroline Jr. makes an appearance." Caroline teased as she pressed a kiss to Kat's pregnant belly.

"Shall we play it for the boys then, they've just come in from their radio appearance." Rebekah asked whilst pointing to the glass which showed the boys walking into the control room.

"Let's do it." Lexi smiled.

Caroline started off, playing the piano which Katherine started to sing over.

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

Slowly Rebekah and Lexi joined in, Caroline had swapped over to her guitar to add in that part to the song.

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

They looked up and watched the smiles grow on the guys' faces, they had spent the better part of the day just trying to come up with one part of the song and something as simple as having a jam session led to what could be their next big hit.

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (I'm in too deep)
And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
And I still believe
Yeah I still believe

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time

The lyrics spoke to Katherine and Caroline on a deeper level and they both knew that it would become popular amongst teens and people who are struggling and feel like their lives are out of control and that they have no possible way of stopping it and re-gaining control.

A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me

"Wow, that was seriously amazing." Damon's voice said, coming through the speakers.

"Beautiful, love." Klaus' agreement came through, along with everyone else's.

A few weeks later and they were at their new venue, about half way through their performance the girls had done their song and now it was the boys turn to perform what they decided to do.

"So when we decided to make this new album, we all collectively decided to create a song with our original bands, to keep the tradition going. As you heard earlier the girls had performed the song that they wrote. And after hearing that, us boys decided to do something different." Klaus started before turning to Stefan who continued from where he left off.

"We went back to our inspiration, to the bands who originally spurred the desire and passion for music in us. And once we looked through all the bands and songs there was only really one song that spoke out to so many people and held such deep and raw emotion." Stefan explained before they started.

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect you know?

The days were endless, we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shinin' we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know
The rest of my life's been just a show

They had chosen to do Queen because of how original and different they were, and when they were looking back and watching through all the music videos they couldn't help but be in awe of the strength Freddie Mercury had and so they decided to pay homage to him by not changing a thing about the song and leaving it how it was.

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find, I still love you

You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game

No use sitting and thinkin' on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow

Rebekah stood by the side, smiling as she watched Nik perform the song beautifully, remembering when they were children and he would take her hand in the middle of the living room or even the kitchen if the radio was on and start swinging her around and dancing with her to Queen and the likes. She couldn't have thought of a better song for them to play.

'Cos these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives, yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find, I still love you
I still love you

The crowd went wild, screaming and yelling once it finished. Everyone on stage took a bow and left the stage once the encore finished, they were all laughing at Stefan who got a bra flung at him in the middle of the last performance and the one thing he said was "it's warm!"

However the laughter stopped when they caught sight of Tatia who was stood backstage waiting for them.

"Oh god, didn't we get a restraining order on you or something?" Rebekah groaned at the sight of the 'she-devil'. Damon chuckled and wrapped an arm around her because he had no doubt that she would lunge at Tatia and take out an eye or a clump of hair.

"Nice to see you too Rebekah, or should I say Aunty Rebekah?" Tatia said with a sickeningly sweet smile.

"What?" Katherine growled, edging forward.

"Looks like I'm pregnant, and there could only be one father." Tatia said, looking directly at Klaus who gulped, tightening his grip on Caroline's hand which had gone slack in his hold.

"Fuck sake!" Kol yelled, punching a wall.

HELP NEEDED! Give me ideas about where this could go, or songs. I already have a chapter written but I might not use it or it might be a long time coming! x
