Hi! I didn't get a lot of comments last chapter and I was sort of worried that none of you guys enjoyed it though it was mostly a filler chapter. But hopefully this would make up for it. Lastly, I wanna send a huge thanks to my friend, Lauravic, for helping me and being a great friend. You guys should definitely check out her stories, especially "Always and Forever a Mikealson".

Laura's POV

I looked to Klaus, a sadistic grin on his face, looking down at his sort of dead brother with a dagger in his heart. Every instinct in my body was telling my to rush to him and protect him against his brother but I was also supposed to be protecting Klaus as well.

Klaus called for a hybrid and ordered for his brother to be put into a coffin and put away with the rest of his family. I really didn't trust Klaus now with Kim, I grabbed her wrist and yanked her away from Klaus towards the door.

Klaus sped in front of us, trying to be intimidating but I stood my ground. I could easily beat him up but I didn't want Kim to get hurt so I put her behind me. I looked up to the hybrid, a determined look on my face.

"Don't try to act all tough love, it doesn't suit you," he said, "Are you going somewhere?" He looked at us, a smirk on his face still. Don't anger him Kim told me mentally.

I nodded to her and Klaus seemed to catch on to this, "So can you guys talk to each other without actually speaking?" I nodded, "Why did you do that your brother?"

He shrugged, "I have my own reasons. Now I believe that you wanted to leave Miss Kim here under my protection?" I rolled my eyes, "Not after you just stabbed your brother."

"That was for his protection, besides, I would like to get to know Miss Kim more," Klaus turned to Kim, "Wouldn't you agree?"

"I'll be fine," Kim stood up straighter, "I'll be fine Laura." I didn't trust Klaus anymore, yet I didn't want Kim to leave. Suddenly I felt that pull, it was my dad summoning me.

"Fine, Klaus please don't tell my father about this," I pleaded. He nodded and I transported to my house.

When I arrived, my father came up to me furious, "Where the hell have you been?" He grabbed my arm and squeezed tightly. It didn't hurt yet the fear made it painfully. I knew that I crossed the line, leaving without telling my father. Please, no more whippings.

"I come home from the bar to see you missing!" he growled, his blue eyes darkening with anger. He started dragging me towards the basement and my heart started pounding with fear and terror.

"Please, Klaus wanted more of my blood and I couldn't deny his commands as you have told me," I begged, trying to free myself. Instead he pushed me down the stairs.

When I landed, my whole body was most likely to be bruised and I heard a bone crack too. I groaned in pain and felt my father yanking me towards the chains. He chained me up and I was aware of him getting the needle.

"No, no, please. I'm sorry I left without telling you, please," I begged but he wasn't listening to me. He forced my head to the side and jammed the needle in my neck, injecting me with mercury.

I felt my powers weakening immediately and I became more drowsy. But that didn't stop me from noticing the whip lashes that he kept delivering. I tried to keep in the pain but I eventually started screaming with tears falling. I was a sobbing mess, with blood everywhere and me losing consciousness. I just wanted someone to help save me but there was no one. I was alone, with no having my back.

I woke up with me still chained up. My whole body was sore and I definitely had a broken arm. I opened my eyes, the lightbulb blaring too brightly for my eyes. I saw a bucket of water in the corner which is meant for me to heal myself so I muttered a spell and the chains unlocked. I dropped to the ground, not caring if bruise myself even more. I was so drowsy that I could barely lift myself to my feet.

I slowly but surely crawled to the bucket, once I got there, I felt like sleeping but I put my hands in it, and allowed the water to work its magic. I sighed in content, energy filling me up and my magic becoming stronger.

I got up and left the basement, me almost running out of there. I hated that room as much as I hated my father. I almost ran to my father when I got to the kitchen, him pouring himself more bourbon.

He took a sip, looked at me, and left the room. I sighed in relief, then I was about to walk to the attic when a painful ringing noise erupting out of nowhere. I yelled out in pain, my hands flying to my ears to protect myself but it was no use. It was as if someone was stabbing my ears again and again.

I heard someone laughing and saw Stacy, my father's witch who practiced Expression, with one of her hands on her hips and the other holding a bell. She kept ringing it, looking at me with a crazy smile on her lips. My father was just staring at me, no expression on his face while sipping his bourbon.

"Enough," he said and Stacy stopped it. I could still feel its magic trying to hurt me but it eventually faded as moments passed by. Stacy had pale skin with light brown hair and green eyes. She was young, a few years older than me but a very powerful witch. She absolutely adored my father and was willing to do whatever to please him.

My father stepped towards me, with me kneeling over the ground shaking with fear. I could basically hear my heart pounding and I feel as if they could hear it as well.

He grabbed my chin, making me look at him, "You never leave this house without confirming it with me, understood? Or else I'll ring that bell."

I nodded, my eyes wide with fear, and stayed still waiting for the next hit or kick. When I looked up to him, he was staring at me with no emotions anywhere.

He suddenly got up and turned around, "I expect you to decorate tomorrow for the dance." With that he left the kitchen, with Stacy following him. I breathed in, and got up. I made sure that everything was neat and went to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up, with my head pounding from that bell. I knew that only witches who practiced Expression were only able to harm Purebloods. Witches who were connected to the Ancestors, weren't allowed. They were called Halfblooded.

I got out of bed, making breakfast for Stacy and my father. They didn't talk to me, them being in their own world and all. I knew that had a sexual relationship which I always heard them when they were busy and they were last night. I barely slept because of that and I of course had shadows under my eyes.

I left, wanting to transport into the school's bathroom. I walked out, bumping into Jeremy. I kept my head down, muttering a sorry and walking quickly away.

"Hey!" he yelled, jogging up to me, "Hi Laura. Are you going to the homecoming?" I stared at him, someone knew my name other than loner, geek, freak.

"Yes, it is at my house," I said. He grinned, "Well would you like to come as my date?" My mouth gaped open, shocked at someone who I barely talked to asking me to the dance, but then I realized that Klaus was taking me.

I closed my mouth and shook my head, "I have someone taking me. Sorry, but maybe next time?" I touched his hand and within that touch, I knew what he was thinking, Tyler sent him to spy on me.

I hated feeling used and no one caring about my feelings. I felt tears coming but I didn't dare let them fall. I walked away quickly and was thinking of ways to decorate the house. I knew that my father wanted the house to be spotless and attractive but I didn't care of what people thought.

"Miss Rosebelle?" a voice called out, I snapped out of my daydream and focused. My. Saltzman was calling my name and everyone turned to look at me. I was sitting at the very far corner of the classroom.

"What?" I asked, straightening. Elena and her friends were looking at me, curious about why Tyler suspected me of his mother's death.

"When was the French Revolution?" he asked. I knew he was part of the Scooby gang, he was a vampire hunter. I answered and everyone turned around towards the front. I let out a breath but I heard what people were whispering.

Freak. Slut. Bitch. Geek. Whore.

And it was true, everything that they said about was true. I was a freak of nature, granted I was supposed to be protecting nature. I allowed people to touch my body but I couldn't disobey my father's orders.

"Hello, who are you?" Alaric asked. I looked up to the door and there was Kim. My whole mood brighten by the sight of her and I was lucky enough that no one was sitting around me.

"Kimberly Chavez," she replied. I noticed that she had dark skinny jeans, and a maroon v-neck on. Her curly hair was down and she put on mascara and eyeliner with red lipstick. To say that she didn't look beautiful would be understatement.

Everyone was staring at her, the boys whistling and catcalling to her. The girls were gossiping about her style and envious of her perfect body.

"Well hello, I'm Mr. Saltzman, please take a seat and your partner can fill you in," Alaric told her. She nodded and headed straight towards me despite of everyone else trying to get her to join them.

Everyone seemed surprised when Kim came to me. I knew what they were thinking, Why would a beauty want to sit next to a freak?

Ii smiled and hugged her, already relaxed with my best friend there. You alright? she asked.

I nodded, Yeah, how was Klaus? I turned to her and noticed Stefan looking at us, Stefan is looking, but jus act normal.

He was fine, he left me alone and I told him that I wanted to go to school so he helped me enroll. She kept her gaze facing the board but I was shocked. "What?!" I was surprised that he did this without any favors, that I knew of.

Everyone looked to me, still trying to figure out how Kim would sit next to me but I ignored them.

Did he want anything else? Stefan was still looking at us, but I was focused on Kim. She shook her head and she said, "Shh. I'm trying to listen." With that, Stefan became even more confused. I'll talk to you later but the way you're acting, Stefan will definitely suspect us if he doesn't already. She added.

I nodded and continued with the rest of the day waiting for the dance.

After school, I transported Kim to the Mikealson place for her to get ready while I went to go set up. I grew flowers along the rails of the stairs, and vines wrapping around house. It didn't looked like we didn't do our garden, but it gave it a superior look. The garden was full of bright flowers, all of them healthy and beautiful. The back yard had a stage set up for the band and the dancing stage. Their were tables set up with white table cloths and in the middle were vases of more flowers.

There was lights everywhere that gave it a nice look and I told the fireflies to come when it gets darker outside. Everything was perfect.

I went inside, getting ready for the evening. I picked out a knee length dress that was all black with lacy sleeve. I added a pearl necklace, bracelet, and earrings with my hair in a braided coiffure. i had black slip ons since me and high heels don't work together.

i headed downstairs with my father in a tux and Stacy with a blue knee length dress. "Go and greet everyone, I'll be there soon," my father just told me. I nodded, heading to the front door.

I opened it and I started greeting. I knew that my name wasn't in the deed so when the Salvatore brothers came, I invited them in but they couldn't get past the barrier. "Wow, how unfortunate," my father said coming to me. Damon stared at me, getting a sniff of my scent, "Hello, I am Damon Salvatore, and this is my brother, Stefan."

"Come in," was all my father said and the brother entered. I ignored their looks and continued with the greetings until Klaus came with Kim. She was wearing a blood red dress that clung to her curves. Her curly hair was left down with smoky eyes and red lips. "Hello love," Klaus greeted me, "Evening Mr. Rosebelle." He turned to my father and came in. I noticed that Klaus brought his hybrids and my father still invited them in.

How odd that my father wanted to invite all of the supernaturals to our house but I didn't question him until I finished greeting everyone.

He went to the stage, grabbing a glass of wine and took the microphone, "Hello everyone. My name is Adam Rosebelle, mayor of Mystic Falls. Today I have gathered everyone for the Homecoming dance and also to meet with everyone in our lovely town. Hopefully you all enjoy yourselves tonight and now we will be dancing the first dance. So please grab yourselves a partner and have a great time."

With that he went down the stage and took Stacy's hand and began leading everyone towards the dance stage. I looked around, not seeing Klaus and was about to take a seat when he appeared in front of me and offered his hand, "May we?"

I smiled, putting my hand in his, "We may." With that he led us towards the stage. I felt everyone staring at us, but I tried to ignore them and focus on dancing. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his hands on my hips, we swayed to the music and I felt myself losing myself in those gorgeous blue eyes.

"You look very beautiful tonight," he said with warmth in his eyes. I could tell what he was thinking about. Me. And some very nasty things too.

I blushed,"Really?" I looked down our feet. I knew he could hear my pounding heart, and I felt one of his hands leave my side and gently gripped my chin. I flinched, not used to people being gentle with me and he saw a flicker of fear in my eyes. He dropped his hand and put it back on my hip.

"You are beautiful," he whispered to me and when I looked up, his face was nearer to mine. He leaned forward a little, his eyes flickering to my lips and I held still, not knowing what to do.

All I heard was my heart pounding, and the music in the background. He brushed his soft lips against mine and pulled away to see my reaction. I looked up to him with wide eyes and he was about to lean to kiss me again when one of his hybrid came saying that it was an urgent matter.

He cleared his throat, "I'll be back." He kissed my cheek and left, I knew everyone saw that and I was genuinely surprised. Kim came up to me, "Well that went well."

I shook my head, "I don't know what happened there." I stared at the place where he disappeared to which was towards the front of the house. I nodded my head to where he disappeared to and Kim got the message.

We headed to the house and when we got to the front door, we heard arguing. I sped up to the door and saw Klaus leaning against the door.

"Come out and face me, Niklaus. Or she dies," an middle aged man said. He had blonde hair and blue eyes like Klaus did but all I saw was hatred in his coldness eyes. He held "Elena" who tried to look frightened. They were in a plan together to kill Klaus. I had to protect him.

"That's not Elena," I told him, making my presence known, "That's Katerina." Mikeal and Katherine looked surprised.

I stepped out of the threshold and Katherine tried to sped towards me which Kim came in front of me and grabbed her throat and pinned her to the wall.

"Look boy. You force loyalty on others and they pay the price," Mikeal said which he took out a white oak stake and grabbed me. I had to let him think that I was weak so I didn't do anything. He pressed the stake facing my heart and dug it in a little bit.

I felt it tearing a little skin, which I gasped out loud. Letting him know that I was fine, he knew that I could take care of myself.

"Come out and face me, Niklaus. Or she dies," Mikeal warned. Klaus looked at me, worry clear in his eyes but he quickly covered it up with a sense of carelessness.

"Go ahead. Kill her," he crossed his arms and leaned against the door. I acted all scared, saying that he would, "Klaus, please. It hurts." I allowed a tear to slip, I hated acting weak but I knew how important it was for it.

"To what end, Niklaus? So you can live forever, with no one at your side? Nobody cares about you any more, boy! What do you have other than those whose loyalty you forced? No one. No one," Mikeal said while he dug it in deeper. This time it did hurt and the tip was well in my chest. I grew angrier.

"You know Mikeal, you are one stupid ass motherfucker if you think that I would allow you to kill you own son," and with that I muttered a spell and he yelled in pain. i took the stake out of my chest and was about to strike when I was body slammed to the floor.

At that moment the stake fell out of my hand and I looked at the attacker. He tried to bite me but Klaus threw him off of me and grabbed the stake and plunged it into Mikel's heart. He yelled out in pain and caught on fire.

I breathed heavily, looking at my torn dress and saw Klaus standing there looking at his now dead father. I looked around noticing Damon looking furious and Kim holding her head.

Are you okay? I asked her. She looked up to me, nodded and came towards me. "She banged my head when I got distracted by your little show," She checked for my injuries which I had a little stab wound on my chest.

I went up to Klaus, touching his arm as a comforting way, "Are you okay?" He looked at me, gratitude and hope in his eyes. He nodded and leaned towards me. I didn't know if I wanted to him to kiss me but he's one of the few people who's starting to care about me. Just when he was about brush his lips against mine, I heard the cursed bell.

I yelled out in pain, grabbing my head and kneeling over. I looked up as I felt the pain being too unbearable and saw Stacy furiously ringing the bell. I tried to keep the pain it but I couldn't. Klaus was looking over me, with worry in his eyes.

I gasped as darkness surrounded me and I passed out. I didn't realize that Damon sneaked by Stacy and sped away with the bell.

AN: Thanks for reading! I hoped that you liked this chapter, please leave any comments, questions, concerns for me and I'll reply to you ASAP. And if the description for the dance was terrible, sorry about that. I'm terrible with those kinds of things.

Here's the link for the dress that Laura wore (you just have to remove the spaces, for some reason it keeps disappearing without them):
