Forbes Residence
Caroline's Bedroom
Couple Days Later…
Kol growled mixture of anger and upset as he glared hatefully at Damon who is laying on his human's bed with a book in hands. Caroline is examined her yellow knee-length dress front of the reflection of the mirror. He learned there's a Founder's Party that will happen tomorrow and that Caroline is trying on the dresses.
Caroline tilted her head while holding the back zipper of her dress. She turned around and smiles shyly.
"No yellow. Jaundice. Go for the red." Damon's eyes are on the book of New Eclipse.
The blonde-haired beauty frowned and turned her attention back to the mirror. Kol shifted his eyes over to his human. "Any colors will look fabulous on you, darling. If you want my honest opinion, I say that lovely blue will be fitting for you. Maybe even green." Kol commented.
"I don't like the red." Caroline wrinkles her nose.
Damon rolled his eyes. "Well, I do. And if I'm gonna be your date—"
"You cannot be my date." Caroline interjected with a fact and Kol smirks smugly. "My mother is going to be there, and she is a very proud gun owner."
"Is that so? I should gift her some wooden bullets." The bad boy Original mumbled with contemplative.
The older Salvatore scoffed. "I went through a lot of trouble to make sure this party wasn't canceled. It's very important I be there." He glanced at Caroline who turned her head to him. His pupils expand as he compelled her once again. "Please take me."
"I am going to enjoy pluck your eyeballs out with a rusted knife." Kol muttered darkly as he forced to watch his human controlled by Damon once again.
"You should come to the founder's party with me." Caroline asked, which Damon accepted with a smug smirked.
"Not if you're wearing that dress." Kol rolled his eyes while the blonde-haired beauty slipped out of her yellow dress and went to her closet to grab another dress. The transparent ghost is long used to see his human wearing matching underwear. Although he never has seen her naked before, so he decided to respectfully avoid that. Even though he was tempted once in a while. "What's so special about this Bella girl? Edward's so whipped." Damon commented, confused.
Caroline rolled her eyes as she grabbed one of the red dresses, pulled it up, and turned around. "You gotta read the first book. It won't make sense if you don't." Caroline stared at the mirror.
"Ah, I miss Anne Rice. She was so on it."
The blonde-haired beauty adjusted the pale-red dress. "How come you don't sparkle?"
"Vampires don't sparkle, love." Kol mumbled with a face. Why the hell did the author think it was a good idea to add that in her book? How the hell did this author come up with vampires being sparkles under the sunlight? That doesn't make sense.
Damon answered while reading the words from the book. "Because I live in the real world, where vampires burn in the sun."
"Yeah, but you go in the sun."
The older Salvatore wiggles his ring at her. "I have a ring. It protects me. Long story."
"Which would be wonderful if you take off that ring and burn under the sun. It would bring me a bit of satisfy." The bad boy Original said with a dark smirked. Then his dark eyes shifted on his human and saw the bite scar on her back which rattled him. "Fucking arsehole, never give you his blood to heal your wounds…" Kol glared at the offending scar on his flawless beautiful human's skin.
"Will these bites turn me into a vampire?"
Kol shakes his head. "No, darling." He whispered as he watches her with concern. He knew she is under compelled spell once again.
"It's more complicated than that." Damon shut the book. "You'd have to feed on my blood, then die, then feed on a human's, it's a whole ordeal." Caroline steps toward the vampire. "This book, by the way, has it all wrong." Then he grabbed Caroline and turned her over on her bed as he starts kisses her neck.
The transparent ghost growled loudly. "Filthy nasty pathetic dickhead."
"You can be very sweet when you want to be."
Kol scoffed in disbelieved. "Once you are free from compulsion spell, you will regret those words."
"Yes, I can be sweet."
"Oh someone please gag me." Kol muttered darkly as he sulks in the corner.
Caroline stares at Damon with dazed eyes. "Are you going to kill me?"
The bad boy Original snapped his head to Caroline with shock. And his dark eyes dramatically shifted to darker that mistakes as onyx-black when he heard the answers from Damon fucking Salvatore. "Mm-hmm. But not yet."
"Why not?" the blonde-haired beauty blinked innocently at Damon who stroke his finger on her face lovely.
"Because there's something I need you to do for me."
Caroline's eyes brighten with eager to please the man above her. "Anything."
"How good are you at getting this little nose where it doesn't belong." Damon pokes her nose.
The blonde-haired beauty beamed. "Oh, I'm excellent." She said with proud and Damon nod his head with satisfaction.
"…death is too mercy on you." Kol hisses ominously as he stalked toward the bed and glared heatedly at the vampire's head. Unknowingly that the temperature in the room suddenly went chill.

Mystic Grill
Later…
Caroline and Bonnie hanging out at the table in the grill while animatedly chatting as Kol plopped down on the chair between the girls. Bonnie raise her eyebrow when she learned that her friend is taking Damon to the party tomorrow. "You're taking Damon to the founder's party? What about me?" she assumed that she and Caroline will go together.
"Go with Elena." The blonde-haired girl suggested.
Bonnie shakes her head. "She's asking Stefan."
"Okay, go by yourself."
Kol placed his chin on his palm as his elbow rested on the table. "Sorry about her, sweetheart. She's under that tosser's compelled spell. So, she's a bit bitchy at the moment."
"Gee, thanks. What about your mom? Is she okay with you bringing Damon?" Bonnie asked, curious.
Caroline shrugged her shoulders, indifferently. "And I'm supposed to care why?"
"He's older sexy danger guy."
"More like child-man with controlling issues that don't take the meaning of no." Kol commented, wryly.
The blonde-haired beauty raises her eyebrows at her petite witch friend. "Older sexy danger guy?" Kol tilted his head at his human with a dark glint in his eyes. "If you are interested in that type, love. I can be the one for you. I am much, much better than that arsehole." He wiggles his eyebrows at her. "Is that an official witch Twitter tweet?" Caroline added with slightly amused.
"No more witch jokes, okay?" Bonnie sighed heavily as she is anxious. "That whole Mr. Tanner prediction thing has me freaked."
Kol shakes his head. "Someone is going to need to teach you about your history. What the bloody hell is going on with your family right now? Shouldn't they be helping you with this witchy business?" he complained, getting frustrated seeing this potential witch that has no knowledge about the truth of the supernatural yet.
Caroline backs off. "Okay. And Damon's not dangerous—" Kol scoffed and muttered darkly under his breathe. "I beg the differ, darling" "—You know, he just has a lot of issues with his brother. You know, like major, deep-rooted drama."
"More like lying through his arse just to created unnecessary troubles."
"Like?" the petite witch leaned forward with intrigue.
Caroline bit her lip with contemplative then shakes her head. "I'm not really supposed to say anything."
"Caroline Forbes, when have you ever kept a secret in your life?"
"She's rather excellent at it. Except, the fact that disgusting pathetic soon-to-be-dead loser used her." Kol scowled darkly.
The blonde-haired beauty stared at her friend then sighed. "Okay. But you can't tell Elena." She warned her friend who understood the warning. "Damon's brother. Stefan… they both used to date this girl, Katherine." Bonnie's eyebrows raise with surprise. "I know right? So, Katherine chose Damon over Stefan which drove him mad. He did a whole awful thing to break them up. He manipulated Katherine, filled her head with lies nonstop until it worked. Katherine turned against Damon." Caroline spread the gossip to Bonnie who looked astonished and speechless.
While Kol looked completely and utterly bored. "…his storytelling is a terrible sad fabrication. Even babies' blabbering would be so entertaining than hearing his bullshit story." His gaze stared at the wall with sudden interest. It's too bad that he can't contact this Bennet witch since he needs to do it once she accepts her magic.

Lockwood Residence
Next Day
Founder's Party
Kol may be a transparent ghost but at least his attire is appropriate for this party. Although, he is wearing an early nineteenth-century tuxedo. He even compares himself with Damon and commented that he is a more handsome bloke. He observed his human and pleased whenever he ran his gaze on her dress. Caroline wears a beautiful pale-blue dress, however, she wears a scarf, and short-sleeve shawl to cover her bites wounds. Which still pissed him off.
Kol followed Caroline and Damon inside of the house while glanced around with boredom. "Bex plans party better than this." He offhandedly comments.
"Caroline!" Mrs. Lockwood walked up to them with a warm smile. "You look smashing."
"She would look even more lovely without scarf and sweater." Kol said, eyeing at the offending cloths that covered her beautiful skin, but alas, she must cover her bites. Because of the fucking soon-to-be-dead vampire refuses to give her his blood to heal her scars.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lockwood. This is my boyfriend Damon." Kol fake gagged while Caroline smiles happily at Damon who smirks.
"Oh, well, come on in." Mrs. Lockwood invited the older Salvatore who nod his head.
Damon politely smile at Mrs. Lockwood. "Lovely to meet you. I've been looking forward to this party for quite a while." Kol eyeing the vampire with suspicious.
"Well, enjoy."
Kol watches his human loop her arm with Damon with bitter and noticed Caroline glanced over the sheriff woman. "Wait here." Caroline went to the blonde-haired woman.
"Please feel free to go." The Original immortal snapped at Damon with fake smile and followed the blonde-haired beauty.
"Really, you couldn't even change out of the badge for this?" Caroline said to her mother that Kol assumed since they both share similar features.
Sheriff Forbes placed her hands on her hips. "I'm working, honey." Her blue eyes glanced around. "Who's the date just tried to sneak past me?"
"Just some guy." Caroline answered.
"I wish that's the truth." Kol muttered.
Caroline's mother carefully studied her daughter. "He's a little old for you, don't you think?" Kol didn't want to waste his hopeful on the mother who probably try to break her daughter's relationship with Damon up. It's useless because fucker has his human under compelled spell.
"Oh, 'cause otherwise you'd approve. Yeah, I doubt that." Caroline rolled her eyes with skeptical.
Kol turned his gaze at the sheriff. "I like you. Anyone who doesn't approve of Damon is likeable in my books. By the way, he is planning to kill your daughter." He wishes this woman could hear him.
Sheriff Forbes cleared her throat. "Where's your dad?"
Caroline turned her attention away from her mother and glanced around. "Memphis."
"Good."
The blonde-haired beauty smirked darkly. "With Steven." Her mother's lips lined and glanced away with slight hurt in her blue eyes.
"I really, really need you to be under vervain soon, darling. Your bitchy attitude is causing a lot of pain for people around you." Kol murmured, knowing that Caroline will feel terrible guilty once she remembers this. Although, to remembered everything is when she has becomes a vampire. So, maybe small mercies for her?

Later…
"You know, I could totally dance better than this soon-to-be-dead vampire, love. In fact, I could dance for many hours just for you." Kol said after he watched how his human wants to entertain by dancing with her date. However, Damon refuses as he is not interested in dancing. However, he decided to compel her to dance with Stefan. "Seriously… you have no taste in women and you've got to stop with these compelling spells on my human, you tosser." He is following his human and older Salvatore to the other room.
"The original Salvatore brothers. Our ancestors. Tragic story, actually." Damon speak up after he heard Elena's questioning about their same names on the original guest registry.
Stefan and Elena turned around. "We don't need to bore them with stories of the past." The young Salvatore said.
"Please. Because I don't want to." Kol made a face.
Elena shakes her head. "It's not boring, Stefan. I'd love to hear more about your family." She assured her boyfriend with hopeful. Kol groaned as he doesn't want to hear boring false stories from two vampires that he knew are the same ones from the past.
"Well, I'm bored." Caroline chirped in which Kol send his thankful glance at her. "I want to dance. And Damon won't dance with me." She glanced at Damon with disappointed.
Damon just shrugged indifferently. The blonde-haired beauty turned her gaze to Stefan with a smile. "Could I just borrow your date?"
"Oh… uh…" Elena wasn't sure what to say.
Stefan shakes his head. "I don't really dance."
"Oh, sure he does. You should see him. Waltz, the jitterbug, the moonwalk. He does it all." Damon interjected smoothly with a smirked.
"I bet I dance much better than them, the boring bloke and soon-to-be-dead bloke." Kol said, faux-cheerfully.
Caroline glanced at Elena with hopeful. "You wouldn't mind, would you, Elena?"
The doppelganger cleared her throat then smiles awkwardly. "It's up to Stefan."
"Well, sorry. But I'm not going to take no for an answer." She grabbed Stefan's hand not unkindly and dragged him to the dance area outdoor. Kol followed them.
Soon, Kol watches his human dancing with a boring vampire that he reluctantly tolerable. Stefan smiles at Caroline. "Damon told you to ask me to dance. Didn't he?"
"Close. He compelled her." Kol muttered, dryly while eying the champagne. He really, really wants to drink. Badly.
Caroline tilted her head with innocently confused. "Now why would he do that?"
Stefan just smiles then saw the champagne. "Would you like one?" he stopped the dance for a moment to grabbed two glasses of champagne and handed one to Caroline.
"…okay, just tell me if you see my mom." The blonde-haired beauty took a sip from it with an eager smile. She chuckled, feeling a little thrill that she is sneaky behind her mother's back by drinking alcohol underage. Kol's dark eyes soften when he watches her reaction. "You look positively adorable when you are trying to be sneaky, love." He whispered with amused yet fond smirked on his face.
Later, when Stefan and Caroline finished their boring dance that Kol made a vowed that he will show his human the true meaning of dance someday. He scanned his surroundings with casual boredom while Caroline is enjoying drinking her champagne.
"What'd we miss?" Damon speaks up as he and Elena step up toward them.
"Nothing much except I was enjoying entertaining the thought of you being trapped against the giant wheel while I throw covered vervain throwing knives at you. It would surely be fascinating." Kol remarked, with a dark smirk.
Stefan just shrugged. "We were just chatting. Drink, Damon?" he lifted the glass to his older brother.
"No, thanks, I'll pass." The older Salvatore refuses with a civilly smile.
The brunette smiles at her boyfriend. "Stefan, do you have another dance in you?" she raises her hand with fluttered eyelashes.
Stefan smiles warmly at her. "Absolutely." He set the glass down, accepted her hand and they walk to the dance area together.
Damon watches them with slightly jealous while Caroline smiles sweetly. "They look so cute together."
"Don't talk, please." Caroline glanced up at the older Salvatore and noticed the glint in his eyes when he stared at Stefan and Elena.
Kol made a face. "…this feels like Tatia in the middle between Niklaus and Elijah." He muttered then glanced at his human who looks forlorn while she is sipping her champagne. "Oh, darling… you look much better when you smile." He sends another hateful glare at Damon for making his human upset.
Again.

.
.
The bad boy Original sighed loud and long as he dragged his feet after Caroline who is searching for a soon-to-be-dead vampire through the large mansion. "Why the bloody hell would you want to search for him? I rather you dance with another pathetic bloke instead of finding this arsehole." Kol grumbled.
Caroline's blue-green eyes spotted Damon who is walking ascending the stairs which she instantly followed him up. "Where have you been?" she asked, confused and anxious.
Damon turned around, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her with him. Kol hisses how he didn't like the way Damon is handling her. "Ah. Looking for you."
"Your brother barely danced with me for five minutes—"
"Okay, just a minute." Damon interrupted her indifferently when they arrived in the museum area. He turned Caroline around as she is facing the door while Kol raises his eyebrow with intrigue and suspicion. "Stand right… there." Kol watches Damon grabbed one of the boxes from the collection and set the box down to open.
Caroline turned around with confused and her eyes widen in shock. "Um, you're not supposed to touch that. What is that?" she steps closer with Kol followed quietly with curious. An amber gem revealed out of the hidden box that Damon took out.
"A very important crystal." The older Salvatore answered quietly.
"More like a witch talisman." Kol muttered, as he easily recognized the signs that he was around witches many times in his centuries life.
The blonde-haired girl shakes her head. "Well, how did you know that it was there?" she asked, puzzling.
"Because I put it there." Damon grabbed the box and put it back where it belonged.
The older Salvatore grabbed Caroline's arm and pulled her out of the room. "When?" while Kol growled softly as he glares at the offending hands on his human.
"A long time ago. Tonight, I'm taking it back, thanks to you." Damon dragged her out to the hallway.
Caroline shakes her head, still confused and perplexed by this vampire. "Well, what's it for?"
"Never you mind."
"Well, you can't just steal it."
Kol watches his human with amused when she continues asking Damon with annoying questions. He couldn't help but feel somewhat pleased that it's getting the soon-to-be dead's annoyance. "Darling… you are a very curious person." He likes this quality in her. The more she shows her real self, the more he adores it.
.
.
.
After a moment, Caroline went to the powder room as she is fixing her make-up in front of the large mirror and adjusted her hair.
"You look lovely, darling." Kol said, leaning against the wall next to the mirror with his hands shoved in his pockets. His dark gaze is on her, carefully examined her appearance. He has met and seen many, many beautiful creatures throughout his life. There are tons of them in the world, some are gorgeous than Caroline. However, the more he spends around with this human, the more he starting to see how truly stunningly she is. Despite that, she is under compulsive spells, that she's covered bites scars, and acting bitchy because of Damon's influences… when she breaks out the compelled, return to herself where she was open-minded, warm smiles, sweet and thoughtful praises, and dazzling shy yet true smile that brightens up her blue-green eyes that reminds him of fireflies.
Kol has found himself caring about Caroline Forbes.
He snapped out of it when Elena appeared in the powder room and stood next to Caroline. "Hey."
"Hey." Caroline took out her lip gloss. "So how are things with Stefan?" she asked, curious.
Elena shrugged her shoulders. "Great. Just great." She took out her lip gloss and reapply on her lips.
"Really?" the blonde-haired beauty raises her eyebrow skeptical as she leaned forward to fixes her lips. "Well, my radar must be off, 'cause I was getting all sorts of other vibes…"
The doppelganger sighed as she glanced at Caroline but paused when her eyes stayed on the blonde-haired girl's neck. "What is that?"
Caroline hummed as she leaned up and glanced at Elena with puzzled. Kol shoves himself away from the wall with a knowing glint in his eyes. "She saw the bites, love." Kol muttered, watching Elena tried to lift the scarf around Caroline's neck but Caroline jerked back.
Elena continues pushing to see and gasped when she saw the terrible horrible bites. "Oh god." She kept asking the blonde-haired girl about the scars and Caroline rebutted as she kept her mouth shut.
Kol's undead heart sank when Caroline attempted to hide her bites with an ashamed and anxious look on her face. "Darling… please let her help you."
But in the end, Caroline left the powder room and Kol instantly followed her out.
.
.
.
"I'm going to fucking kill you Damon Salvatore!" Kol snarled viciously as he stormed after Damon who is manhandling Caroline out to the yard away from the mansion. He knew, he just fucking knew that this asshole is going to drain his human.
Once they are far away in the safe distance, Kol watches in horror and stress between his human and soon-to-be dead vampire.
"Don't! She took it off and I got flustered!" Caroline struggled herself away from Damon. "I didn't know what to say. But I swear, okay? I did not tell her." Damon glares at her as she cowers slightly. "I just told her that you didn't mean to hurt me."
"That's fucking bullshit, sweetheart! This tosser is planning to kill you by draining your blood! All because he is obsessed with the fucking doppelganger! He hurts you and nearly rapes you few times!" he snapped crossly.
Damon sighed then slowly goes behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and faux-coddle her with a fake-warm voice. "You make me crazy, you know that? It's okay, I forgive you."
Kol step closer and grabbed Damon's neck but went through instead. "DAMN IT!" he bellowed in anger and desperation.
"I swear I didn't say—" Caroline nearly sobbed but the older Salvatore shushes her.
"It's okay… Unfortunately… I am so over you now." He lurched down and bite viciously on her neck.
"NO!" Kol cried out a mixture of growled and whimpered.
However, they both fell to the ground and Kol dropped his knees and attempted to touch her, but his hands go through her. "Shit! Caroline! Please, open your eyes! Darling… please…" his undead heart sank when he watches her laying motionlessly.
"What the hell?" Damon muttered, confused.
A voice speaks up. "You know, I couldn't spike your drink… so I spiked hers." Stefan commented calmly, he bends down and checked over the blonde-haired girl. "…she's alive." He whispered with relief. Unknowingly that he gained Kol's gratitude and respect.
"You spike vervain in my human's drink…mate, you just earned my respect." Kol said with relief, knowing that Caroline will be okay. "But I'm going to murder your brother." He pointed it out.
The bad boy Original watched Stefan took his brother and used vampire speed away. Kol sighed and stared down at his human. "You scare the shit out of me, my darling." He muttered. Now that he knew Caroline will be okay and safe for now, he just briefly recalled how he reacted when Damon nearly killed her. "…who would've thought I'm starting to take fancy you." He snorted with slight bizarre and amused. When was the last time he has fancy a human? Before he became an immortal vampire?
After a moment, Caroline slowly opened her eyes and pushed herself up from the ground with completely confused and lost. She glanced around and saw the crystal on the ground a few feet away from her. The blonde-haired beauty reached for it, pluck it up and Kol raises his eyebrow at it. "It seems that soon-to-be dead arsehole dropped this." Kol commented indifferently, although he is curious why that Damon Salvatore wants this piece of witch's charm?
The blonde-haired beauty pushed herself up and attempted to control her anxiety while Kol stood in front of her with concern. "Darling…"
"Caroline?" Elena called out and walked over to her. "There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you." The brunette paused by Caroline's side who closed her eyes while shivering. "Are you okay?"
Caroline nods her head. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"No, you are not, love."
Elena watches her friend turned around while attempt to control her sobbing. "Caroline—"
"I'm fine." Caroline sobbed while shaking as her eyes teary. Kol wishes he could touch her and comfort her.
"No. You're shaking. Caroline—what—" Elena shakes her head when Caroline lied again and hugged her in her arms.
In the end, Caroline hides her face against Elena's shoulder and cries out in heartbroken and pain.
Kol's hands curled into fists as his teeth gritted hard. "Death is way to mercy on that bastard." He whispered, evilly.
He will enjoy torturing the asshole one day.
