Tangled By Klaus

Chapter 12

I'm really really sorry I got so behind on posting, I had finals at college this week but I just finished and I'm moving back home tomorrow! I'll post more frequently for a bit to make up for it. Also canNOT believe how many reads I've gained so far so thank you so much! I really really appreciate it. xx

Chelsea's POV:

I see Klaus reaching out his hand for me with a smirk.

"We have like five minutes before Damon drags me out of here by my hair," I say while walking right past him, knowing that he will follow me outside to talk to him.

"Calm down, it's not like he can get past me."

Klaus grabs my arm and turns me around, "You look amazing in that dress by the way. I have to say I have good tastes, but your true beauty is what makes your look complete tonight."

I smile, but then mentally kick myself for letting one thing he says make me forget how dangerous he apparently is.

"So what is it that you wanted to talk to me about, Klaus?"

He stops walking at looks at me deeply before speaking, "You know some say that the sight of someone pure is entrancing. I see that in you, and I usually have no interest in someones purity, but for you it's different."

"Klaus, who says I'm pure? I'm a human, thats the only difference between you and me."

He shakes his head, "That and the fact that you're not a horrible being such as me. I kill and torture and despise so many, and they all freely despise me."

He stands there with so much sadness in his eyes, almost loneliness. I want to hug him, kiss him even, anything to take away that awful look in his eyes.

"I could give you so much more than Damon, or any other minor vampire for that matter. Give me the chance, Chelsea, see my true sides." He pleads.

"Chelsea we have to go!" Elena calls from the doorway, causing a scowl to appear on Klaus's face.

"Listen, I'll give you a chance, but only one," I say, "but under one condition."

"Anything love," he says.

"You cannot touch or harm any one of my friends, that includes Damon," I say, giving him the sternest face I could muster to show how serious I was. If I was going to hang with someone so dangerous, I could at least make sure that everyone else was safe.

"Fine love, but I have a condition of my own. If you give me a chance, it's only me. No romance with Damon unless you decide you don't want me, which I highly doubt," he smirks.

"Chelsea where the hell are you?" I hear Damon scream, which makes me jump. I kiss Klaus on the cheek, accept his rose, and run out the door to find Elena.

Damon was persistant to figure out where I was during the ball, but I ignored him and simply went home with Elena, having her sleep over with me so I wasn't lonely. I'm sure Damon was able to piece it together, but he preferred to play stupid.

I offered to drive Elena to the Boarding house because she wanted to see Stefan, and Bonnie and Caroline were heading there to hang out as well.

As soon as we knock on the door, it sweeps open and there stands Rebekah, in her dress from last night. I feel a bit of jealousy creep in me but I try not to show it. Damon stands there smug as he looks at Elena and my reactions.

"Lovely to see you Chelsea, we have to get together and hang out sometime, without my brothers stalking you. Damon can give you my number." She smiles, while turning to Elena and simply smirking before walking out.

"Wow Damon what ever happened to your standards?" Elena says as she storms past him and searches for Stefan.

"Try not to be too jealous Elena," Damon teases before turning to face me. His face falls a bit and he's trying incredibly hard to read my face, but I don't give anything away.

As soon as I walk inside, Caroline and Bonnie walk in too. Luckily Damon walks upstairs so that we could have some simple girl time.

"Did you go home with Damon last night Chelsea?" Caroline says as soon as Damon is out of the room.

"What heck no, are you crazy? The original sister was the one doing the Salvatore walk of shame this morning." I say bitterly.

"Oh my gosh you are so jealous and I love it." Caroline says, which only makes me roll my eyes and leave to get alcohol from Damon's kitchen.

I search for a glass in the cupboard, and close the door, when I suddenly was grabbed from behind.

The last thing I heard was the glass shattering on the ground before I completely lost consciousness.
