Wild Child - A Kol Mikaelson Story

Chapter 6

The rest of the week went by in a blur. It was now Friday, and we spent the afternoon setting up for the dance. Rebekah had been giddy all week. The dance was almost all she talked about. I had taken to sitting with her at lunch every day, and she compelled her way into a couple of my classes. I spoke to my other friends here and there, but I was trying to distance myself from the stoner crowd. After all, my last time high almost got me killed.

I was at home getting dressed up. Kol was right, red did look fantastic on my skin. Caroline was helping me with my hair. She also wore red and looked so beautiful.

"So did Tyler make it back for the dance"?

"Yessss", she said in a sing song voice. "I haven't seen Tyler in so long, and he decided to sneak back in. Klaus might be a bit peeved but there is no way he'd come to a school dance".

I nodded with her.

So, she started, "now that you spend all of your time at Chateau de Mikaelson, are they planning anything"?

"Care", I rolled my eyes, "I've been to there house a couple times, and if Klaus was plotting anything it's not like he'd tell Rebekah. They're kind of butting heads".

"And your boyfriend"?

"He's not my boyfriend. We have just spoke a couple times. So if he was plotting something, I definitely wouldn't know".

She didn't look convinced, but she accepted what I said and didn't push the subject further.

I looked in the mirror after my outfit was together. She bobby pinned and curled it up tight so it was above my shoulders. Way different then how I usually look. My lips were bright red, and a little black wing made my eyes pop.

"You look so cute Lexy", she exclaimed!

This is when she loved having a little sister. When she was able to play Barbie with me.

Caroline decided she wanted me to ride with her friends. I shot Rebekah a text letting her know I'd meet her there and couldn't wait to see her. I got no repsonse, which was odd, but I figured she was busy getting ready.

We arrived at the dance and immediately everyone split off. Caroline was already dancing and kissing all over Tyler. Elena was with Stefan. I was sitting at a table scanning the room for Rebekah, but she was still nowhere to be seen. I was starting to get a little worried.

She is an a thousand year old vampire. She is the most suited to take care of herself.

"You wanna dance"? Jeremy's voice broke my thoughts.

"Jer..".

He rolled his eyes. "It's just a dance Alex".

He extended his hand to me and I decided to take it. One dance wasn't going to hurt. It was fun. We were laughing and he spun me around a couple times. It felt like when we were best friends.

Suddenly the song slowed down, and he pulled me closer. I put my arms over his shoulders and we faced each other.

"I really miss this Alex".

It was nice, it felt familiar, but it wasn't something I wanted.

"Jeremy, let's not go down that road. Let's just enjoy this dance".

He started to protest, "Alex just listen..".

"I think she shot you down there mate. I'd probably quit while you're down".

The voice made us break apart. We turned and saw Kol smirking at us. I was so surprised to see him my mouth hung slightly open.

He looked at Jeremy, "you mind if I cut in there bud"?
