The Vampire Diaries Imagines

[23] Hey pretty Stranger - Kol Mikealson (Kaleb)

[Imagine : meeting a handsome stranger who turned out to be Kol Mikealson in disguise and finding out he'd been using you all along]

"hey where are you going?" My sister Hayley asked me as i walked towards the doors of the compound which lead onto the streets of New Orleans. "out" i replied. "seriously you're still mad?" she sighed and walked over to me, i crossed my arms and turned around. "uh yeah i'm still mad, you snapped my neck just because i told you to stop killing innocent people" i said and she rolled her eyes "i was having a bad day, give me a break" she said and i just looked at her. "well i'm leaving before your bad mood ruins my day" i said and walked out of the compound before she could say anything else. I was walking down the street when i bumped into someone's shoulder. "watch where you're-" my harsh tone stopped when i looked up at the guy. "i'm so sorry!" he said, his accent taking me by surpise, and his face. I blushed slightly and chuckled "it's fine, don't worry" i said and smiled at him. "i'm Kaleb" He said and held out his hand. "Y/N" i replied and shook it. "well it was nice to meet you" he said "you too!" i replied. We stood there for a few seconds before it got awkward. "well i'm going to pop off, things to do" i said and he nodded "yeah no same, i'll uh...see you around?" he said and scratched the back of his neck. "sure" i said and smiled before turning around and walking off.

After grabbing a quick bite to eat, literally, i headed back to the compound. "why are you so happy?" Klaus asked as i passed him on the stairs. "because i just enjoyed a rather delicious lunch and met a cute guy" i said and smiled at him sarcastically before attempting to make my way past him, but he blocked my path. "what have i told you? my mother is on the loose, not to mention Fin, it's dangerous" he said slightly angry. "cause they're after me aren't they?" i sassed back and rolled my eyes. "your family, not mine" i said and went to walk away but he blocked me once again. "but they can get to us through you" he said and i just chuckled. "oh don't worry Nik, they won't hurt me, i would've ratted you out before they even began to hurt me, now move out of my way" i said and he looked angrily at me. "why are you so angry all the time?" Nik said angrily to me as i barged past him and walked up the stairs. "i'm hungry all the time, and i don't know why, but ever since you turned me, i can't control it, i don't feel like myself and i hate everyone and everything, nobody seems to be able to grasp the concept that maybe i like to be alone every now and then!" i snapped and stormed off to my room.

After dark i decided to sneak out and just sit in one of the near by parks, listening to the constant sound of street music and the huddle and bustle of city life. I was sat on one of the benches, just minding my own business when i heard a twitch snap. I span around quickly and my fangs retracted out of shock. "alright alright calm down it's only me!" Kaleb said, standing there. "i was going to surprise you but obviously vampires don't like surprises" he said and we both chuckled "why are you-" i began but he cut me off "so calm about it?" he said and i nodded. He held his hand out and all of a sudden the wind picked up and the street lamps flickered. "you're a witch" i said and he nodded and smiled. "should've fingered that out" i said and he chuckled. "well why are you out here by yourself?" Kaleb asked and i looked into the distance. "my family are driving me insane" i replied and he nodded. "i know the feeling, i was always the left out sibling, always seen as the mad one with no control" he said and i looked at him, feeling slightly bad for this weirdly attractive guy i've only met briefly, but felt like i somewhat new him. "family's all well and good until they stab you in the back" i replied and he nodded "well it was more in the front in my case" he said and i didn't know how to reply. "i'm...sorry...i know what it's like to have the bond of family broken" i said and he smiled at me softly as he sat next to me on the bench. "what's your backstory then?" he asked and i sighed. "well my mom died when i was still in the womb, they found her just in time to save me" i said and he looked at the ground. "i'm so sorry" he said quietly and i smiled softly "it's okay, my older sister Hayley isn't as over it as i am" i said chuckling to myself quietly. "from then onwards we were fostered, but they kicked my sister out as soon as she triggered her werewolf gene" i said and he stayed quiet. "once i was old enough i came to live with her, after some awkward encounters in mystic falls that is" i said and cringed slightly at the memories of having drunk sex with Stefan Salvatore after Elena and Damon properly got back together. "ouch mystic falls, i never liked the place" he said and i chuckled. "you've been there?" i asked and he nodded. "i was raised there" he said and i nodded. "i know this is really sudden but i don't suppose you want to get coffee?" i asked and he nodded. "although not right now, because all the shops are shutting" he said and i chuckled. "obviously" i said smiling sort of embarrassed. "so to meet up for that coffee you'll need my number" he said and i smiled. "i suppose i will" i said. We exchanged numbers and i commented on how late it was and how i should get back
home, and so should he. We parted ways, not before he kissed me on the cheek and then walked away, looking back smirking. I chuckled to myself and walked back to the compound.

>>TWO DAYS LATER<<

Myself and Kaleb had a successful coffee date and had been speaking ever since. I had been out running some errands when i got back to the compound. "Klaus! i've got your bloody stuff!" i shouted slamming it down on the table. "Y/N!" i heard someone shout from the stairs. I walked round the corner and recognised the voice. "Kaleb!?!" i asked and i rushed over to him. "not actually his real name i'm afraid" Klaus said walking up to us. "what are you doing? let him go!" i said and went to undo his chains but klaus pushed me off him. "no can do i'm afraid" he said which annoyed me even more. "do you want to tell her or shall i?" He asked, looking at Kaleb. "listen Y/N" Kaleb started "oh, times up, missed your chance" Klaus said and Kaleb sighed. "Kaleb isn't his real name, his real name is Kol. Also known as my little brother" Klaus said and i widened my eyes at him. "who's meant to be dead after Elena and Jeremy staked you" i said and he looked up at me with guilt all over his face. "why did you lie to me?" i asked him. "because our mother was using you to get to me" Klaus said. "you...used me?" i said quietly, taking a step back. "listen Y/N it wasn't like that!" he pleaded and i shook my head. "don't talk to me" i said, hurting. I walked out the room and past klaus. "do what you have to do" i said which only put a smile on Klaus's face.

I ran up the stairs and too my room, sitting myself down on my bed. I'd been fooled again. Kaleb or Kol...i'm not sure what to call him now, but that doesn't matter. He had used me like a pawn in a game of chess, sacrificed for his mother, the queen.
