Hello Darling

Part 1

It had been a long week in mystic falls. Hell, it had been a long year. You had only moved back to your hometown after hearing rumors that your beloved older brothers were alive and living in the small town you grew up in after all these years. You had been told they were shot by stray bullets during a battle in 1864 when you were only 15. It had hurt, especially since shortly after that your father had died after an animal attacked him. About 4 years after the deaths of your family, you had a run in with a vampire that didn't go too well. After that, you spent years traveling from city to city just enjoying your life as a vampire.
When you finally landed back in your home town looking for your brothers, you were shocked to see that they had fallen in love with the same girl. Not only that, but a human girl who seemed to be attracted to trouble. You never liked Elena Gilbert and she never seemed to like you. She had a problem with making everyone do things her way or no way, and she always seemed to take it personally when someone made a decision on their own. You hated that your brothers were in love with her and did anything and everything she said. You had quite the temper like your brothers and Elena had a tendency to draw out the worst from you; when your idiot brothers signed over the deed to their house to Elena and she didn't invite you in, you nearly burnt down the whole city. You had been stuck living in a small apartment, not far from the mystic grill ever since.
You tried to stay to stay out of their drama-- you were only in town because you were worried about your brothers. Stephan had gone off the rails and was only just now starting to fix things. You had though found unlikely allies in Matt Donovan and Jeremy Gilbert. You spent a lot of your free time drinking at the mystic grill and for a while both boys had worked there; though you would never admit this to them, you had begun to consider them friends. Matt didn't like getting involved in the vampire drama either, and you found it refreshing. Jeremy understood what it is like to have your siblings try to control everything you do. Sadly, Jeremy had been forced to leave town by none other than Elena, and of course your brother helped, which only made it worse. You hated that they had compelled him to leave. It was wrong to make his decision for him and they knew it.
You had gone to the mystic grill bar for a couple drinks. You had been invited to a ball hosted by the Mikaelsons. You thought it was pretentious that someone in the 21st century would host a ball, but you had missed the elegance of old fashioned parties like you used to attend before becoming a vampire.
You were busy in your own thoughts when you heard Caroline Forbes walk through the doors. She seemed upset, but to be honest, you didn't care. You noticed she was looking at someone by the bar. You recognized him easily, Klaus Mikaelson. Caroline seemed angry at him, and efore you knew it she was yelling at him and storming out the door. Klaus quickly followed behind.
It was only then that you noticed the man who had been sitting next to Klaus. You didn't recognize him. He saw you staring across the room at him and he gave you a flirtatious wink. You looked away and rolled your eyes.
Your glass was empty and you decided to walk over to the bar to get another drink. You sat down and waited for the bartender. The young man you saw earlier approached you.
"Hello, darling," he said, taking the seat next to you. "I couldn't help but notice you staring earlier. Like what you see?"
To say you didn't find him attractive would be a lie, but you could tell he was cocky and arrogant: exactly the kind of guy you don't want to be around right now. Yet, there was something familiar about him. "Yeah, no, I'm not playing this game with you," You said turning away from him.
He walked around you so you were facing him again. "What game are you referring to?"
"Oh you know, the one where you see me across the room and we flirt and we drink and you use that smooth arrogant accent to talk your way into my pants. That game."
"Why, I would never. I merely wanted to buy a lovely lady such as yourself a drink!" You laughed at his mockery as it was oblivious his intentions were not pure.. "I'm Kol, Kol Mikaelson."
"(Y/n) Salvatore."
"Oh, you're Salvatore. I hear our brothers don't get along very well," You laughed, he obviously didn't care about the drama between your two families.
"No, they really don't."
"I do hope that unlike our brothers , you have no interest in killing me,"
"No, Kol Mikealson, I have no interest in killing you or being apart of any of my brothers stupid plans." You took a swig of your drink. To be honest you were jealous of all the time your brothers put into defeating the originals and protecting Elena. They had thought you were dead for over a hundred years and they didn't even seem to care that you moved back to town. In fact, they seemed to only think of you as a problem these days. A threat to their precious Elena's safety. It made you furious to even think about it, hence your day drinking. You set down your glass.
"Well then, in that case, (y/n) Salvatore, why don't you be my date this evening to my mother's ball? It would surely piss off both our brothers," You basically laughed in his face, but Kol just smiled and stood there.
"You want me to be your date to your moms fancy ball? You don't even know me," You were completely lost. An over confident guy flirting at you while you're at the bar was typical, but a thousand year old vampire you don't know asking you to go to a ball was more than strange.
"Oh come on, (y/n), it could be fun. I've been told I know how to have a good time. Though, that was in 1910. I might not be as fun as I used to be, but I'm sure I will work it out." He leaned in closer to where you were sitting. You were staring him dead in the eyes now.
"It would piss off Stefan and Damon, and I'm still mad at them for brainwashing one of my only friends in this town. Sounds like it could be fun., but let's be clear: this is not a real date. I am simply accompanying you to your mom's party."
"Well, I'll take that as a yes, then. I'll see you tonight (y/n)," He winked and walked to the door where his brother Klaus was standing. He seemed angry, like he was mad at Kol for talking to you. What could you expect? Your brothers hated Klaus, why wouldn't he hate his own brother talking to you? You still had a hundred questions left for the young original. You hadn't even been sure you wanted to go to the ball, let alone with a date. There were a hundred reasons as to why you should not go, bone of the few things Kol had gotten right was that it would piss off your brothers, especially Damon. Besides, it could be fun.
