Hey guys, some of you wanted me to write a multichaptered Kolena fic, so here it is. The story starts, of course, with the ball. There will be none of the I-am-back-to-kill-my-children-part from Esther. She came back to make sure her family was reunited, yeah doesn't make any sense, balance of nature crap.. but the whole killing originals plot just doesn't fit in. Anyway.. read it, review, favorie and follow it.. so I can fall asleep with a big grin on my face..

And the title is probably already giving away my plot twist in the second chapter, yes Kol will do the Stefan move / or the Rebekah move.. anyway, he'll be the newest addition in Alaric's history class ;)

"Elena Gilbert?" A young man with dark brown hair and eyes asked. He was smirking down at her. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you in the last twelve hours."

She smiled politely at him, he looked like a younger version of Elijah, so Elena already knew that he was one of the remaining originals.

"The pleasure is mine. Are you Finn or Kol?" She asked cautiously.

"Kol." He smirked and a light tinkled in his dark eyes. "Would you do me the honor and dance with me?" He asked flirtatiously and offered Elena his hand.

Well she couldn't exactly turn down an Original, could she. So Elena put on her sweetest smile and placed her hand inside his. Kol lead them to the dance floor and placed them in the far end, near the wall, where Elena saw that Damon was holding Rebekah's hand. She felt a twinge of jealousy and looked away quickly, she was in love with Stefan and just because he didn't love her anymore, she couldn't just run to his older brother for comfort. She knew it had been wrong to kiss him and she felt guilty. She heard Kol laugh.

"Right. I've heard that." He grinned at her.

"Heard what?" She asked suspiciously. Was Klaus really talking about her love life with his siblings?

"You and the Salvatore brothers. Now tell me which one of them is currently dancing with my sister? Your boyfriend or his brother?" He asked amused.

"It's Damon." She replied simply, not meeting his gaze.

"Ah, the big bad brother. I honestly see no reason for you to be jealous. You could do much, much better." He whispered and a shiver ran down her back. Was he flirting with her?

The music started an he placed his hand on Elena's lower back. They started dancing, well he was dancing; her feet barely touched the ground. Kol looked down at her and leaned closer.

As much as she tried to suppress it, Elena felt another shiver going through her body as his lips touched her ear. "So, will you tell me why my little sister hates you so much?" She could feel him smirking.

"I daggered her before homecoming." She replied and tried to sound indifferent, although her voice came out a little startled.

He laughed into her ear, so that goosebumps spread across her arms and her back. Why was she reacting like that? "Don't worry, she won't harm you."

The music stopped and the other pairs started to go back to the main room. But Kol tightened his grip around her waist.

"Really?" She said sarcastically. "Last I checked, she tried to kill me last night."

"Oh come on. She was angry." His eyes grew darker. "I can understand that." His lips were almost touching hers, but she couldn't move from his iron grip. "You know, I like you." He whispered seductively.

Then he sighed and rolled his eyes. Cocking his head to the side he spoke, "Hello boys."

Elena looked up and saw Stefan and Damon standing on either side of her.

"Come to rescue your damsel in distress?" He smirked without taking his eyes off of her.

"Let her go." Damon snarled.

"Or what?" Kol tightened his grip around Elena and she winced.

Stefan growled dangerously, "Let her go."

"I don't think so. Besides we were just talking, right darling?"

"Enough."

It was Elijah. She sighed and Kol loosened his grip around her waist instantly and turned to look at his older brother.

"Come to join the party, brother?" He asked with a big grin.

"Kol." He growled impatiently, which was really unusual for Elijah.

"Alright, alright." He sighed playfully and held his hands up in surrender. "You guys are all cock blocker."

Stefan and Damon both took a step towards him, but Elena grabbed their arms. "Don't."

Kol bursted out laughing. "Oh, please do!"

"Elijah, please." Elena pleaded.

"Kol, if you don't leave now.." Elijah's voice was low and cold.

"Alright, alright." He took three steps back. "See you soon, love." He smirked and then he was gone.

"I am sorry for his behavior." Elijah said looking at Elena and followed his younger brother.

After that Damon vanished. Stefan dragged her out and they left the ball. She didn't protest, because Elena knew that it was not a good idea to argue with him. Stefan escorted her up to her front door and vanished too without a single word.

So, how was it? At first this chapter was a little different, but I figured that I should start with a 'light' convo and the Salvatore boys getting all protective. And yes, Kol still tries to kill Matt and Damon still snaps his neck.. But meanwhile Elena is at home writing into her journal..
