Mascarade ball

A week and half has passed since the little town was overrun with ghosts. A week and half were Kayla was missing the touch, the lips... the arms...of her friend.. But much time to mourn her lost touching she didn't have. Katherina came back into the house and tries to kill Jenna. Stefan and Elena broke up while they obviously loved each other... According to Kol it was a "drama lama" week. And now... The worst event of the year for Kayla came up... The ball... She hated it but Kol, Elena and ofcourse Damon who wanted to be her date, made her go. Kayla was sure they were planning something behind her back again but Kol didn't wanted to help her cause he believed that it was best that she stayed out of it...

"It's the masquerade ball. Everyone is wearing masks" laughs Kol when Kayla complains about the mask she wears. She is dressed in a big black ballgown with a small black mask over her eyes. According to Kol, the only thing what was missing was big black wings. Kayla groans on Damon his arm. "I really don't wanna do this." "Me neither, but then again... " He stops. "Then again what?" "I really want to drive a stake through Katherine her heart." "Excuse me" ask Kol and Kayla together. Damon looks at her. "I agreed with Stefan and Elena that you will not get involved." "That's a smart move." "But Jeremy can get involved?" "The stalker won't get off my back" says Damon insulted. "Kayla scoffs." Murderous are we" jokes Kol. "He isn't murderous" scoffs Kayla. "Indeed i'm not. The bitch deserves everything she gets." "For once we agree mate." "Even Kol agrees" says Kayla and continues: "What can I do?" "Nothing" say Damon and Kol in unison. Damon smiles. "Go get some punch or whatever it is that teenagers do" he orders. "Damon, don't try to compel me" says Kayla offended. "I'm not trying to compel you Kayla, I'm asking you." To great annoyance of Kol, Kayla suddenly pulls Damon in a hug. Damon swallows and hugs. "Be careful" she whispers. Damon kisses her jaw. "I will" he says and disappears between the people. Kayla sighs. "Just listen to the man darling" says Kol. "I know" groans Kayla annoyed. Annoyed that they kept her out once again she walks up to the bar. "Have I gotten you into drinking love" asks Kol with a playful grin on her face. Kayla rolls her eyes and orders a diet coke. "You disappoint me love" he sighs. "I'm not drinking... yet" she whispers. "Also you aren't the right age yet... right" a voice next to her suddenly sounds. "Bloody hell" curses Kol when Kayla looks up at Tyler. "And since when you care about the proper age?" "Not" jokes Tyler and sits down with a beer. "Look Kayla, I eh.." "Tyler please." "No, hear me out. Look. I know I've been acting like a dick. I was rude, mean, possessive. I screwed with you while you were the best I ever had in my miserable life." "Now you are talking bud. Only.. a few months too late." "I really regret how I treated you." "You know Tyler, if you said this a few months ago you would still be my date tonight." "You don't mean that love." Tyler swallows. "I'm sorry" he says and kisses her jaw. Kayla swallows. "Sorry" she says softly to Kol. "Ah love, I understand. I am not worried. I know I am more handsome." Kayla rolls her eyes. "Please" she groans. "Excuse me" Kol says overreacted and offended. Kayla looks at Bonnie who hastily runs through the crowd. "What"s going on" she asks. "Look love, they are trying to kill Katherina. The only reason you should get involved is to look at her dead body." Kayla sighs. She stands up. "Oh love don't..." He sighs when Kayla ignores her and runs right after Bonnie. "Elena" asks Kayla when she sees Elena sitting on the floor. Covered with blood all over her. "Darling... She is bleeding." "Elena" yells Kayla and runs towards Elena. "Elena what the hell is going on?" "Kayla, it is okay. Bonnie solved it" says Elena. Bonnie looks at Kayla. "Kayla, I'm sorry to keep you out but we figured it was best for you." Kayla swallows. "Let me guess, cause I'm with her? Cause I know Katherina?" "It's not because of you Kol" sighs Kayla. "Partly" answers Bonnie honest. "Pardon" ask Kol and Kayla. "I'm sorry, Damon heard that Kyle" "Kol" say Kol and Kayla in unison. "Kol, sorry. Have history. He didn't want to take the risk." Kayla swallows. "I kinda understand. But notherless... Don't keep me out everything anymore. 'Im not a kid anymore." "Oh darling you are" jokes Kol. Bonnie stands up. "I need to talk with that witch. I believe she is family." "That"s a handful" grins Kol. "Go" says Elena. "I need to talk with Stefan." "I'll wait with the car" says Kayla. Elena nods. "Thank you Kayla, and I'm sorry" she says and hugs her tight. Kayla nods. "Go, talk with your prince" she jokes. Elena swallows and walks away. "OH but Elena, is it true? is she gone?" Elena nods. "She is" she confirms. Kayla laughs when Kol cheers enthusiastically. "Glad to see you this happy" she jokes. "Oh darling. I'm already praying that that bitch died since 1654." Kayla laughs. "Kayla" yells Kol... Too late.
