Niklaus? I ran over to a body on the ground, and sure enough, it was him. "I am so sorry, I did not know it was you." I apologized. He took the arrow from his chest and looked into my eyes, "You have incredible aim. Where did you learn to shoot like that?" He complimented me. My face lit up, thank god he wasn't mad at me. But why did I care whether or not he was angry at me?

I shook the thought out of my head and went back to staring at Klaus. His shirt was covered with blood, and I couldn't help the blush that arose in my cheeks. Why am I so nervous around him? "My father taught me." I replied, realizing how close I was to him. "Why are you here?" I asked politely. I could see a sad smile form on his face, "I wanted to see if you were okay." Niklaus said softly. "I am fine, I just needed to come out here is all. Now, why don't we go back. I need to apologize for my outburst."

He nodded, and put his arm out to me. I wrapped my arm around his, and we walked to the Boarding House. We walked in a comfortable silence for a little while, but he turned to me and said, "I wanted to ask you some things about your human life, if that's okay. I only know what you told me before, but that was only a few things." I agreed, and so, he started asking away. "So, did you have any suitors in your time?" I could tell he wanted nothing more than for me to say no, but I told him the truth.

"I did. Many were friends of my brother's, but they were soon scared away because Stefan and Damon would not let them anywhere near me. But, if you are asking if I had loved someone, yes I did. His name was Jesse, and he was a vampire." I answered. I could tell he was jealous when he said, "Tell me about him." I looked ahead at the forest, delving deep into my past. "He was Damon's friend, Jesse came to town one night and instantly clicked with my brother. Soon, Jesse would show up at my house occasionally. I met him when he was horseback riding with Stefan and Damon. He invited me to come with them, and I knew my father would not allow it, so I went with them. My brothers would not let me ride one myself, so I was to be on Jesse's horse with him. After that, he began visiting the house every other day. He was my first love, but he left me after the witch hunters came. I always thought it was because he thought he would get himself injured, or killed even. But, I had my doubts. In the end, it did not even matter, I died alone."

I rested my head on Niklaus' shoulder. "Do you think I am a monster?" I whispered, knowing he could hear me. He stopped walking and faced me, putting his soft hand on my cheek. Klaus looked deep into my eyes and said, "I could never think that. You are not a monster, and you will never become one. And even if you were, I would be right there to pull you back to who you really are." I had not realised that we were in the driveway of the Boarding House at this time. Someone cleared their throat, Damon.

I turned my head to face my brother who looked tired. "I told everyone you didn't mean it, and they all understand that it wasn't you. You should go inside, it looks like it's going to rain." He told me. I nodded and smiled at Niklaus before leaving. I did not miss the look of protectiveness Damon shared with Klaus on my way inside.

Rebekah was easily becoming my best friend. We talked about everything, boys, books, school, and even our families. I knew she liked Matt too, but I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy inside me when she told me. What was I doing? I had talked to Matt everyday for the last two weeks, and he was surprisingly easy to talk to. His innocent smile made my face light up, and whenever I was with him I felt utterly, and completely normal. What was wrong with that? Apparently, Prom was coming up too, and all the girls were excited about it. It was just a high school dance, right? Wrong.

Caroline, Elena, Bonnie, Rebekah, and I went dress shopping together. I knew the girls did not like Rebekah, but I talked them into letting her go with us. All of the girls picked out their dresses, but after I bought the dress, I realized I did not have a date. When I told this to the girls, and they just smiled. They are up to something.

I went to the Mikealson's for the day. Everyone had plans today, except for me, so I just went to visit my favorite Originals. Kol opened the door and greeted me, "Well, love, back for me?" I just rolled my eyes and said that I came to be with all of them. He smirked, and let me in the house. Immediately, Elijah and Niklaus both stepped out of the living room, deep in conversation. I knew Kol wanted to be alone with me, but so did the others. "Hello boys." I smirked. They both stopped what they were doing to stare at me. Niklaus' eyes were filled with lust, and Elijah's with love.

"Sydney, how nice of you to join us!" Klaus welcomed me. Elijah came up to me and hugged me. He also put his arm around my waist and whispered in my ear, "I am glad you came." It's always nice to spend time with you, I replied telepathically to him. He liked when I did that, it was the only thing that was private between the two of us. All three men escorted me to the living room, and Kol gave me a glass full of whiskey. He'll never change.

"I have an idea. Sydney here can play 20 questions with us!" Kol exclaimed. I rolled my eyes, as did Elijah. But, Klaus thought it actually was a good idea. "Ugh, fine go ahead." I told him. He smirked evilly, and pelted me with questions. "So, Sydney, what ever happened between you and Elijah?" I coughed on my alcohol, and I could see that Elijah clearly was not amused. "Kol, it is none of your business." Elijah growled to his brother. I could tell that our reactions further peaked Kol and Klaus' interests. "Huh, so something did happen then. And elijah, this is 20 questions, and I am asking the questions to this beautiful girl over here. She has to answer honestly." Kol said sassily. "Nothing happened Kol." I lied.

"See, we don't believe you." Klaus said, getting into the conversation. I sighed and looked at Elijah whose looked said just tell them. "Nothing really ever happened. We liked  each other, but it never really went anywhere. My ex came back, and got in the middle of things." I told them. Klaus' neck snapped up, and Kol realized who I was talking about, "Jesse?" Niklaus asked. Elijah answered for me, "Yes. Him."Kol was livid. "Jesse?! That prick is still alive?" He yelled. I flinched at his tone.

"Can I talk to Sydney alone please, brothers?" Klaus asked suddenly. Elijah looked at me, and I nodded. Elijah had to shove Kol out of the room. "Why didn't you tell me? You and Elijah?" He asked me. "I am sorry. Not to be rude or anything, but why would I tell you that if I don't know you that much?" I said bluntly. I could tell that my words cut like knives through him, and I instantly regretted what I said. Just then, Rebekah walked into the room. She smiled and said, "Syd, someone's here to see you." See me? But this isn't even my house.

I walked to the door and looked back and saw Klaus, Eli, and Kol watching me. I opened the door, and was greeted by a bunch of flowers formed into the word PROM? Matt was standing on the walkway with a bundle of roses for me. My mouth dropped, was he asking me to prom? Is this real life? I gasped and smiled at him. I looked around the lawn and saw that Elena, Bonnie, Stefan, and Caroline standing next to the lettering. This was what they were planning! "Sydney Salvatore, will you go to prom with me?" Matt asked me. I started laughing, "Of course I will, yes." I pulled Matt into a hug, and then kissed his cheek.

What I didn't know was that Caroline was recording all of this on her phone.

Klaus POV

Of course she's going to the dance with the human, again. I had just found out that her and my brother had a sort of relationship, and I wasn't happy. I had to make her remember me. But, how?

I knew that she had gotten her memories of Elijah back, all of them. I couldn't help but be jealous of that. I had to ask my brother how he did it. "Elijah, may I speak with you for a moment?" I asked him. I was fully prepared to threaten him, but I was not sure if I needed to or not. He nodded and I stepped into his bedroom. "What is it you need Niklaus? I assume it has to do with Sydney." Elijah said. "How did you do it? How did you make her remember you again? I try, Elijah. I talk to her, what else do I need to do?" I let my emotions come out when I said that, and I hated it.

My brother came face to face with me and told me, "You need to repeat something about the past. Make her want to remember you. For me, all I had to do was repeat something I said or did in the past." "That's it?" I said, completely surprised. "That is it." Elijah responded. I thanked him and walked out of his room. I knew what I needed to do.
