AN: So I got my laptop back and will be posting more often now that I have all my stories back. Any who, Reagan is back at school full time and is working on controlling her thirst just in time for the dance. I'm changing things and not bringing Esther back. Elijah and Katherine are watching their daughter closely, making sure that she isn't becoming a ripper.

Reagan sighed as she sat up in her bed and headed to the shower as she struggled to awaken for the day. She had started going back to school full time and was still getting the hang of tuning out all the heartbeats around her. Rebekah and Kol did their best but she often left early at the end of the day, just to get away from all the heartbeats. Rebekah found her the other day at the falls, tears in her eyes. The teen's thirst was getting the better of her and Reagan didn't want to hurt anyone.

When she came out in jeans, a blouse and blazer, she sighed. She just wanted the school week over so she didn't have to be around a million different heartbeats.

Elijah saw her eyes as she walked in for breakfast that morning. He frowned, wondering what was bothering her.

"What is wrong?" He asked, making her a mug of coffee. "Still adapting to tuning out the heartbeats." Reagan told him. "Ah...it took a while for me as well...thats the hardest part." Elijah replied. "Even for you?" She asked, having a hard time believing that even her father, master of control, struggled with his thirst. "Even I did." He told her.

"Morning darling, ready for school?" Kol grinned. "Yay." She replied deadpan. "Oh come now...what is with the long face?" He asked.

"We're still struggling with tuning out hearts." Elijah told him, passing her the mug. "I see, a weekend with me and that won't be a problem." Kol smirked. "Kol, she is still a child." He frowned. "I would not allow her to drink...just dance...its a good way to learn how to tune out noise." The younger said.

"What?" Reagan asked. "Taking to the club...it would help you learn to ignore the heartbeats." Kol said. "Or her thirst would get the better of her." Elijah said, making her frown.

Suddenly, the stack of bills lit up. Reagan gasped, staring at it with shock. Elijah and Kol stared as well, realizing why she struggling.

"You still have magic." Kol grinned, making the two brunettes beside him look up, "that explains a lot."

Elijah easily put the paper out and smiled at Reagan. She looked terrified, confused.

"What the hell!" Reagan cried, staring at her father. "Its alright...look at me, calm down." Elijah said, watching the fear in her eyes. "How the...you two did see that?" She stammered.

"Reagan...its fine." Kol said, making her nod slowly. "How did I do that, do I still have magic?" She breathed as her mother appeared. "It would see so...but you have a lot of control to learn...with your magic, your thirst will be stronger." He told her.

"What did I miss?" Katherine asked. "...Reagan has been struggling with her thirst and I believe we now know why." Elijah replied. "Why?" His wife frowned. "Reagan still has her magic." He told her, earning a look from Katherine.

"I'm going to be late...where is my bracelet?" She asked, "I'll wear it to conceal the magic." "Here." Elijah said as she took it and put the silver charm on. "We'll talk about this later...Ric is having me make up four tests today...all my other work is caught up." Reagan replied, quickly leaving.

When she got to school, Bonnie saw the fear in her eyes as she got out of the BMW. Reagan wasn't smiling like usual.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Bonnie asked. "I know why I am having a hard time focusing." Reagan sighed. "Why?" Bonnie replied. "I still have magic...I am a freak." Reagan said, making her stare. "No you're not...there has to be a reason." She told her. "Bonnie...how can I still be a witch and a vampire...it doesn't make sense." Reagan replied, her brown eyes glistening with tears. "Oh no...calm down...come on." Bonnie told her, leading her directly to Alaric's room.

He looked up to see the tears she had and frowned. Something was very wrong.

"What happened?" He asked. "She just found out she still has her magic and is freaked out...where are her exams." Bonnie asked. "Here...you have two to make up as well...you girls and Elena will stay in here while everyone is on the field trip." Alaric said.

Reagan nodded, taking out her headphones. Alaric allowed them to listen to music while taking tests. They were the only three seniors who were staying behind. Kol and Rebekah were also staying, not wanting to leave Reagan alone right now.

Elena walked in and saw Reagan sitting at the desk and working. Bonnie as well as Kol and Rebekah talked with Alaric. He looked up and passed her a stack of papers.

"Get started...hopefully, you three will pass." He said. "What does that mean?" Elena asked. "Everyone had crapy grades." Alaric smirked.

Elena turned to see Reagan's tired eyes as she finished the second exam. For her these were easy, she had been ready for them for weeks.

AN hour later, Reagan was finished. She sat back down with her headphones and sat down with her book. Elena saw her cool demeanor and frowned.

"What is her problem?" Elena asked, making Kol look up. "You besides you?" Rebekah snipped. "Very cute...what happened?" Elena asked. "She kept her magic, which has made it harder for her to control her thirst. Reagan is scared." Kol said, making her frown. "She's a vampire now...how?" She frowned. "We don't know." He said.

Her eyes lingered on the other girl, wondering how much stronger was she than before.

A week later, the old house was filled with the frustrated screams of Reagan as she let out all aggravation she felt as Kol worked with her.

"Reagan Grace...calm down." Kol said. "Calm down...I am going out of my mind..." Reagan cried.

Suddenly, ice shards flew across the room. Kol and her froze and stared at the icy room.

"What the bloody hell?" They breathed.

Frost covered the floor and walls, making the house cold. She looked up at the light, seeing a frosty glow.

"Elijah is going to kill me." Kol breathed. "You...I am a freaking Disney princess with ice powers." Reagan exclaimed. "Calm down..,they're here." Kol told her, making her sigh.

"How is...what the hell?" Katherine breathed. "Kol...What happened?" Elijah demanded, looking at his brother.

"I did it...I freaked and this happened." Reagan told her father. "How...you don't think she's an elemental, do you?" Elijah asked.l

"It is possible...it would explain why she retained her magic." Kol grinned. "So, what does that mean?" Reagan asked, confused.

"It means you are a rare type of witch." Elijah said, "and control is very important." "I am beginning to hate that word." Reagan groaned.

"Well, I think you could use a break...the dance is tonight." Katherine smiled. "Agreed...no more magic tonight." Elijah told her.

When they got back Rebekah ushered her into her room where she had a stunning black gown waiting. Reagan smiled as she was pushed into the bathroom.

"Shower...I still have to get your clothes picked out." Rebekah said. "Okay." Reagan laughed.

Ten minutes later, Rebekah had stunning finger waves in her hair with a headband that matched the gown. Her makeup was simple but glamorous with a dark lip and dark blue eye liner. Reagan smiled at herself.

"Beautiful...the dress is mine so don't ruin it." Rebekah told her. "You're not going?" She frowned."Heavens no...I had fun myself in the 20s." She smiled.

When she looked at herself in the mirror, Reagan was stunned. She didn't look like herself.

"Whoa." Reagan said. "Perfect." Her aunt smiled.

When they left the room, Reagan saw Klaus waiting at the bottom of the stairs with Caroline. The blondes turned and gasped, amazed at how stunning the teen looked.

"Ray, you look so pretty." Caroline smiled. "Thank you...nice suit." Reagan grinned, looking at her uncle.

"Thank you love." He smirked. "I am shocked that there is no blood stains on it." She quipped, making him belly laugh. "Oh shut it." Klaus laughed, making her her smile.

"Here, these were mine then...you need a little of me in the outfit too." Katherine smiled, handing her some short black lace gloves. "Thank you mama...ready?" Reagan smiled.

"Totally...let's go, Mr. Gatsby." Caroline teased.

When they arrived at the school, they could hear the jazz playing from the parking lot. Klaus offered his arm to both girls. They took it with smiles as they walked in. Bonn.ie smiled as she looked at them. Reagan kissed Klaus' cheek and walked away towards her. She gave her friend a knowing smile as Klaus led her onto the floor.

"Look at you...that your mom's dress?" Bonnie smiled. "Nope...my aunt's and I've been threatened with death that if I get punch on it." Reagan smiled. "Nice...you look great." She smiled. "You too...hi Matt." Reagan smiled.

"Ray...you look amazing." He said. "Thank you...Damon." Reagan replied.

"You clean up good...heard you threatened Elena when you came back to school." Damon said. "I did and if any of you come for them again...I come for you." Reagan growled.

Bonnie saw the ice forming on her hand and frowned. She put her hand on her shoulder as Matt took her hand.

"Ray, come dance with me...you still owe me one from the ball." Matt said, making it stop. "Fine...I am not fighting with them." She told him.

The song changed to an upbeat swing style song. Matt smiled as Reagan showed him how to dance to the music. Her mind was finally clear.

"You okay?" He asked. "...we discovered that I kept my magic after Aunt Bex turned me...I have ice magic because I am an elemental." Reagan said. "Like that new disney movie?" Matt asked, half amused. "Ugh...yes...but my thirst is stronger because of magic." Reagan sighed. "That sucks." He replied. "It does...so that's why I am extra touchy...I feel like a rubber band about tho snap." She told him. "Well as long as you don't make it snow...I think we're good." Matt said, making her laugh.

Meanwhile, a figure walked in, his eyes searching for someone. He found her, dancing with someone he wanted dead. Her eyes looked up to see him coming closer. The man she danced with felt her distress and looked up.

"What is it love?" He asked. "Tyler." She whispered,worried. "Relax love...he won't try anything now." Klaus told her.

"What are you doing with him?" Tyler growled. "Tyler this neither time or the place for you to be a dick." Caroline growled. "He ruined our chancetho be together." Tyler replied. "No...you did...you almost killed me, you're part of the reason my father is dead." She told him. "He turned me." Tyler said. "And Reagan's mom turned me...so what...we all have problems, it doesn't give you the right tho make everyone else miserable...we're over Tyler, been over for months." Caroline told him, leaving the dance floor to cool off.

"I believe that covers how she feels." Klaus said. "Did you compel her?" Tyler frowned. "Of course not... Caroline is quite capable of making her own decisions without me." Klaus said, "excuse me, I have to check on her."

Klaus walked away leaving him shocked. He could not believe he was dumped for him. Tyler had to get back at them for that.

Bonnie, Reagan and Matt sat in Alaric's class talking when Caroline stormed in. She pulled that bottle of whiskey he kept hidden out of the desk.

"Whoa...what happened?" Bonnie asked. "Tyler is back and he tried to convince me tho break up with Klaus." Caroline frowned. "Why?" Matt asked. "Because he ruined our life..." Caroline replied as Klaus came in.

"Are you alright, love?" Klaus asked. "I'm fine...just annoyed." Caroline sighed as she hugged him. "It will be alright...don't let him bother you." Klaus told her. "I just want peace...I'm starting to see things from Reagan's point off view." She told him.

Reagan smiled as she nodded at her friend. Caroline smiled back.

Suddenly, frost began tho form on the desk. She jumped up and felt it continuing. Klaus saw her face and frowned.

"Whoa." Caroline gasped. "Reagan love, can you make it stop?" Klaus asked.

"No...calm down...breathe." She told herself.

The frost began to disappear as she looked at her uncle. Klaus knew that she was tired. She had been doing magic all day.

"Come...why don't we go back to the house... we can talk there." Klaus suggested. "Good idea." Bonnie said.

When they got back, the group moved to the living room. Reagan went to her room and got out of the dress. Rebekah smiled as she took the satin from her.

"How was the dance?" She asked. "Okay...Tyler starting with Caroline and Damon trying to pick a fight with me." Reagan told her, pulling her hair out. "What did he want?" Rebekah frowned, helping her. "Just to ask why I threatened Elena when I came back to school." Reagan sighed. "Well don't let them bully you into doing what they want...you never have been a part of that crowd." She smiled.

The next day, the group gathered at Elijah's old house and continued to work on their friend's control. Bonnie smiled when Reagan finally figured out how to not only light a candle but cover the wall in frost all at the same time. Her eyes shimmered with triumph as she opened them.

"Reagan...look...you did it." Caroline smiled. "I know...ugh." She said, shaking the frost off her hand. "Just think, you can freeze Damon's mouth shut if he starts with you again." Bonnie teased.

The three started laughing as Elena came in with Stefan. The smiles quickly faded as he looked at them.

"What is so funny?" Elena asked. "Nothing...just some magic practice." Bonnie told her. "Who did this?" She frowned.

"I did...I am an elemental...an ice one at that." Reagan smirked. "Wait...you are a vampire...how?" Stefan frowned. "Don't know but she ." Bonnie replied, watching her friend as she formed a snow ball in her hand.

She saw Klaus walk in and raised her hand. The hybrid was not paying attention and did not see her impish smile.

Suddenly, he felt the cold matter hit his face. Caroline giggled as Elena stared wide eyed. Reagan made another and grinned. He stared, not expecting the teen to do that.

"How the bloody hell." Klaus gasped, wiping his face. "Got ya...oh crap." Reagan gasped, flashing away.

Klaus followed behind her and chased her back to the mansion. Elijah and Katherine looked up and saw her rushing to hide behind them.

"What dost you do?" Katherine laughed. "She hit me with a bloody snowball." Klaus replied, making his niece giggle more.

Elijah's head turned to see the flash of white go flying past his head again. Klaus gasped because it went down his shirt. He smirked as the others came in.

"Alright... stop torturing you uncle." Elijah smiled. "Fine...cry baby." Reagan teased. "Brat." Klaus replied.

"You knew she still had magic when she threatened me?" Elena cried. "No cupcake, we found out after...and don't worry, we won't let her use them against you." Katherine told her.

"Can you ensure that... it's a little unsettling that she even has magic and is a vampire." Stefan replied, causing Reagan to tense. "Are you calling her a freak?" Caroline demanded. "I didn't say that." He argued. "But you thought it." She said, "I am getting so sick of you three thinking only about yourselves. Matt and Bonnie are fine with it as is Alaric...why can't you just accept her for her... especially since you can barely manage to feed without going ripper on us."

Everyone was stunned that she went there. Reagan put a hand on her shoulder and smiled, calming her.

"Thank you...What was your reason for coming Elena?" Reagan replied. "I wanted tho know why you left so suddenly last night..but I figured it out." She said. "Yes...we left early because I was emotionally tired. It's not easy to have magic and still drink blood okay...sorry it's not about you." Reagan told her, "all I wanted was to be your friend, not enemy."

Elena looked down, feeling guilty as she saw the other girl walk away and head out of the room. She had messed up, again. Bonnie watched Caroline go to follow behind her but Klaus stopped her, knowing that only two people could fix things.

"I'll go." Elijah said, hearing the door slam. "Okay...I think it would be a good time to go..you two have done enough... if you want to apologize, do it in the morning." Katherine said, all but Bonnie and Elena hearing Reagan's tears in the bedroom.

The pair left, heading back to the boarding house. Bonnie and Caroline stayed, sitting down by Klaus and Kol on the sofas. Katherine went upstairs to check on her daughter.

She found Reagan curled into Elijah's chest, her big brown eyes full of tears. He held her to him, combing his fingers through her hair.

"You okay?" Katherine asked. "I told you they would think I was a freak." She whispered. "You aren't a freak...you are a special and that jealous brat doesn't the fact the attention is old her." Katherine told her.

"It's too bad you couldn't freeze her mouth shut." Elijah said, making them chuckle. "I was working on learning a silencing spell before Esther happp." Reagan grinned. "Well, that would come in handy." Katherine grinned.

A few hours later, Reagan lay sound asleep on her father's chest. He and Katherine were asleep too, all three needing the rest. For the first time in months, it was just them.

Elijah awoke for a moment to kick off his dress shoes. He smiled, seeing how peaceful his wife and daughter were. Silently, he thanked God for putting them both in his life before going back to sleep in the California king bed.
