Dear Diary (its August 5th, around 4:00pm),

Ive just woke up. I fell asleep whilst reading and my mom just came to tell me to get up because guess what?! Turns out we ARE having that dinner party after all... Atleast the gorgeous Mr Fitz is coming! Happy face! I cant really be bothered to dress uo but mom's making

Dear Diary (its now 4:15 ish),

Yeah mom caught me there and started yelling at me to get dressed. Anyway I think I'll do as Im told... Sigh...

I drobbed my diary and put on my iPod 'Bethany Joy Lenz - Halo' started playing and I instantly perked up. Amazing what a little 'Joy' can do huh? See what I did there? Ha! I danced over to my wardrobe and picked out a black, floaty, lace skirt and black vest top. I dressed quickly and added some matching jewelery, a cream belt and back heels. My makeup was fine, I observed in the mirror and touched up some spots here and there. My hair simply hung in loose curls over my shoulders. There, I thought happily. "Sweetie? Marissa can you get the door?", my dad called from the kitchen. I darted downstairs and opened the door with a smile. REALLY hoping it was Mr Fitz. But it was someone I was not expecting... Kol. "Er... Hi", I started awkwardly.

"Hey!", he grinned and pulled me into a tight embrace.

"I didnt know you were coming".

"You think youd of gotten through this without me?".

"Probably not", I laughed, "Go sit in the lounge and I'll go check on dinner". I smiled sweetly at Kol and bolted to the kitchen when he was out of sight. "Why is he here?", I gasped.

"Erm...", Mom said.

"Kol!".

"Oh! But I thought you got on?".

"Well yeah but..."

"but nothing. Now go entertain!", my dad sighed, waving his hands in a gesture that implied 'Ive heard enough'. I groaned and walked off to the seating area. Kol was chatting and laughing with Leo, I smiled when I remembered how I got up one morning back home and Damon was with Leo. I leaned against the doorframe and enjoyed the sight. Then the door went and I was knocked out of cloud 9. When I answered the door, Elijah stood before me. "Elijah! What are you doing here?!", I gasped, flinging my arms round his neck. "Ive really misses you Marissa", he sighed, "And Im here to find out more about Klaus so I started working with your dad. And when he invited me here I couldnt resist". I grinned brightly up at him and then led him to the lounge.

I went along to the kitchen to let my parents know that Elijah had arrived. And then later that Mr Fitz (who insisted I called him Ezra for one night only, he-he!) had. I sat at the bottom of the stairs, listening to the distant chatter. Then all of a sudden, it stopped... I went to the living room to see what the problem was. As far as I could tell, Elijah and Ezra had been talking and then when Elijah turned round he saw Kol. They were staring at eachother. I was starting to feel awkward... "Is everything alright?", I asked. Elijah stared blankly at me. "Long time... Brother", Kol smirked, holding out his hand to Elijah. I gasped in horror. BROTHERS? Surely if this was true then Damon would know and would have told me... Right?

[AN:-so all you smarty pants may of wondered already why Kol wasnt an original in this... Well he always has been and this has been my plan from the beginning! Hope you likey fans and fanlettes!]
