ENJOY!

Disclaim: I do not own the vampire diaries. Only my characters.

There isn't much about me. My life is pretty normal compared to my friends. Who should I start? Elena, she's a doppelgänger. Bonnie, a witch. Caroline, a vampire. The Salvatore brothers, vampires. Tyler, a hybrid. Jeremy, can speak with ghosts. I'm basically the only one left in the gang that is normal. Human. Well, me and Matt.

I feel lucky. Again compared to the others. Like it is with many of my friends, I also don't have any parents left. I only have my aunt Sheryl or as I like to call her Sher. I've been living with her for five years now. My mom died giving birth to me and my dad. Well no one really knows what happened to him. One day he was just gone and no one has seen him ever since.

I don't have any siblings, but I have my friends. They mean everything to me. They would do anything for me and I would do anything for them. Even die.

I've never been out of Mystic Falls. If you don't count the one time when my class went camping little outside of Mystic Falls.

Now you know me. Or at least some things about me.

Oh, and I almost forgot. My name is Chelsea Fay.

"WAKE UP!" I heard my aunt yell while shaking me.

"Noo…" I groaned. "It's Saturday. Let me sleep." I tried to cover myself with the covers, but my aunt pulled them off of me.

"I can't. You have to get up." She said still shaking me.

"Why?" I whined. I love my aunt, but in that moment I wanted to throw something at her. Come on, who wakes a person up on a Saturday.

"We got an invitation to a ball at the Michelson's mansion tonight and we need to go shopping for dresses." She had stopped shaking me. I laid still for a moment thinking about what Sheryl had said. Shopping, I love it, but it's still not a reason to wake a person up. Oh, wait. The Michelson?

"The Michelson's?" I said and sat up.

"Yeah, they're a new family in town. Four guys, one girl and their mother." Then it hit me. The Originals. "You know, I've seen them in town. I must say they all look very charming and sexy." Sheryl said and I scoffed at that. Did I mention that my aunt is quite outspoken and tries to find me a boyfriend.

"Oh god. You've never talked to them before and already you are trying to make one of them my boyfriend. For all you know they might be psych killers." That was true. Klaus was a maniac hybrid and his siblings didn't seem any more normal. Well maybe Elijah because he lives by the code of honor or whatever.

"Okay, I getting up, but give me a minute. I'll be downstairs soon." Sheryl stood up and left my room. I got out from my bed the moment my room's door closed. I picked up my phone and called Elena.

"Hey Chels. Is everything alright?" Elena asked worried.

"Have you heard about the ball already?" I asked not bothering to greet my friend.

"Yeah. You got an invitation too?"

"Mm-hmm. You going?"

"No!" I heard Damon yell from the background.

"Yes I am." Elena said. "Esther wants to talk to me and I want to know what she wants. So I'm going." It seemed that Elena was saying it more to Damon than to me. "Are you going?"

"Sheryl is basically dragging me there. She thinks that the Michelson guys are quite charming. Gag." I heard Elena chuckle on the other side of the phone. "Anyways I need to go now. We are going dress shopping. Hopefully I'll see you soon." I said and ended the call after Elena had said her goodbyes.

I walked to my drawer and took out a hot pink bra with black lace detailing and matching underwear and went in to the bathroom. I took of my pj's and took a nice hot shower.

I came out of the shower and tried my dark brown hair and put on my underwear. I went back to my room and got dressed. I put on a wine red half sleeve dress that went to my mid-thigh. I also put on my favorite black leather jacket and black combat boots.

I walked to the mirror and did my makeup. I didn't bother to do anything special with my hair right now so I just put it in a messy pun.

When I got downstairs I was greeted by the smell of pancakes. I walked in to the kitchen and saw a plate with pancakes and a glass of orange juice next to it on the table.

"What took you so long?" Sheryl asked. It seemed that she had already finished eating her food and drinking her coffee.

"It takes time to look this good." I pointed to myself and sat down.

When I had finished eating my pancakes and washing my dishes went upstairs to grab a bag where I could put my keys, wallet and my phone. I'd found the perfect bag and was putting my thing in it when my phone rang. ID-Unknown.

"Hello? Who is this?" No answer. "Hello?" Still nothing. "This isn't funny. If you won't start talking I will end this call." Nothing. "Bye." I said in a singing tone and ended the call. "That was weird." I said to myself.

We went dress shopping with my car that I had gotten for my eighteenth birthday. There weren't many stores in Mystic Falls where you could buy a ball gown. We went to the first store and Sheryl instantly found a light brown/goldish strapless dress.

It fitted her perfectly. She also found gloves and a scarf to go with it. I, on the other hand, didn't find anything.

We went to the second and the last store where you could find a ball gown. I had been looking for a half an hour now and still nothing. Sheryl had showed me many dresses, but none of them were the right ones. We were about to leave when something caught my eye.

I rushed toward it to take a closer look. It was perfect. I was a strapless dark red dress. The upper layer was from black lace and the dress shined a little. I tried it on and it couldn't have fitted me better.

I bought the dress with a black scarf and black gloves. When we got home we immediately started to prepare. I changed my light day makeup with a little darker night one. I curled my hair so now there were light small curls in it. I put on the dress, the gloves and the scarf. I went downstairs.

Sheryl's mouth dropped open. "Who the hell are you and what have you done with Chelsea?" She said and started laughing.

"So I'm guessing that that meant I look presentable." I said as I reached to bottom of the stairs.

"You look stunning." She places a small kiss on my cheek.

We arrived to the ball fifteen minutes later. A guy came and parked our car. Well they are putting a lot of effort in to this night. We went inside; where someone immediately took our over wear away.

"They must be loaded." Sheryl whispered looking around the mansion.

"Well what did you expect? They are throwing a ball." I said and looked around for Elena. Instead my eyes stopped on Damon. "I'll go mingle with people." And with that walked off.

"Good evening Miss Fay." Damon said joking. He took one of my hands and kissed it.

"Good evening to you too Mister Salvatore." I said and giggled. "Have you seen Elena?" I asked now looking around the room again.

"She's not coming." Damon replied.

"Well if she's not coming than that must be Katherine." I said pointing to the door where Elena had just come in a second ago. Damon didn't say anything. He looked to be in a daze. Paralyzed by Elena's beauty.

"Go, now. Don't make me drag you towards her." He nodded once and walked off.

Oh, I forgot to mention, Damon and I are friends. Like friends friends. Not friends with benefits or fake friends. I don't even know how. Just one day we were friends and that was it. I think it was the day when he opened the tomb and saw that Katherine wasn't in it.

I, myself, know what it feels like to search for a person long time and when you think you've found them and actually haven't then that hurts. Badly.

I was cut out of my thoughts when I heard Elijah speaking. "If everyone could gather, please." I walked towards the stairs where I saw him standing. "Whenever our mother brings us together…" But I didn't listen to what he said.

I was looking the people standing on the stairs. On the bottom of the stairs, who I guess, was Finn. Next to him was Rebekah and then Elijah and Klaus. As I looked higher my eyes stopped on someone. He had brown messy hair and dark brown eyes which you could get lost in for hours.

He was looking around the room and when his eyes locked with mine he raised his glass. He must be Kol.

"… Waltz. So if everyone could find themselves a partner. Please join us in the ballroom." Elijah ended his speech. People started walking towards the ballroom. I saw my aunt with Jimmy. Jimmy and Sheryl have feeling for each other, but deny them.

I started to walk towards the ballroom to watch people dance, when someone stopped me. "Want to dance?" I turned around and saw Stefan.

"Sure." I said and took his hand in mine. The dance started and I could see Stefan looking at Elena every now or then. "Don't worry. Relax." I said to him, knowing how much it must hurt him to see Elena with Damon. I maybe more Damon's friend then Stefan's, but I still felt bad for him.

We didn't say anything for the rest of our dance. Suddenly his swirled me and I felt a new pair of arms around me. I looked up to see who it was and I my ice blue eyes met dark brown ones.

"Hello there." He said smirking. That snapped me out of my gaze and I quickly looked away from him, feeling my cheeks going red.

"Hey." I mumbled.

"I saw you staring at me before." He smirk grew bigger.

"Cocky much?" I asked now looking at him again.

He leaned closer and whispered. "Very." I wanted to pull away from his sudden closeness, but his hands were holding me close to him.

"Well you are an Original." I said it more to myself than to him.

"Greta you know that." Kol replied. I glared at him. "So you are Chelsea Fay." Kol said and chuckled at my shocked face.

"What… How do you know my name?" Why am I even bothering he's never going to give me an honest answer. And plus it's stupid question, people talk.

"I know a lot about you." What did I just say? "Even more than you know about yourself. Things that your dear friends or even your aunt doesn't know about." What is he talking about? Only one thing came to my mind, but that can't be.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, hoping that he wasn't talking about what I thought he was. But the music stopped and Kol let go of me. He bowed and left. I need air. I can't no. Why? No one was supposed to know. Or maybe he doesn't?

I basically ran out. I ran in to the back garden and towards the woods. I stopped at the line of it. I took few deep breaths and looked at the sky. It was clear so I could see all the stars. Magical. I decided to go back inside. I turned around to leave, but someone stopped me. The same someone I did want to see right now.

"Kol, what do you want?" I asked annoyed.

"I saw you standing here, alone. I thought you might need company." He said and stepped next to me. We stayed quiet for a moment.

"What did you mean before? That you know me, that you know things about me that I don't." I asked hoping to get a proper answer from him.

"It's too early. I'll maybe tell you one day, maybe not. But not right now." I just nodded and looked at the sky again. I felt his gaze on me.

The cold air was starting to do its job and I couldn't hold back a shiver. Kol seemed to notice it because the next moment he took off his jacket and put on my shoulders.

"Thanks." And a small smile came on to my lips.

"So what is such a lovely girl doing all alone at a ball?" Kol asked trying to flirt.

"I'm not alone. I came here with my aunt and now I'm with you." I replied.

"You know what I mean." He said. I only glared at him. "Tell me about yourself." He suddenly said, surprising me.

"I thought you knew everything about me." I tried to be as cleaver with my answers that I could be.

"I told you that I know things about you that your friends don't. That's all."

"I don't want to talk about it. Plus I should get back inside. Thanks for loaning you jacket." I gave it back to him and started to walk back inside, when I stepped on to the bottom of my dress and tripped. I was waiting for the pain from the fall, but it never came because someone had caught me.

I was pulled up and when I turned around to see who had stopped me from falling, I came face to face with Kol. His face was closer than I was waiting it to be. But something was off. Not bad kind of off, but something about being close to him felt familiar. I saw Kol's eyes looking at my lips for a moment and then back my eyes.

He started to lean closer and so did I. What am I doing? He's an Original. I snapped out of the moment and ran away without saying a word.

Here is the story. I watched the last episode of tvd and felt that I have to start a Kol fanfic. He is one of my favorite characters and I feel his time on tvd was cut short. I also feel that he could've had a better ending. At least he should have knowen that his siblings loved him. I'm mad.

Well this is the story. I really hope you like it. There will be some changes. And there already have been. For once (a little spoiler) Kol wasn't stuck in a coffin. He ran away from Klaus before he could dagger him. He came back when Elijah called and said that he wanted to undagger Finn and Rebekah. Chelsea and Kol… well we'll see. ;)

REVIEW! Thank you!
