Welcome to my new VD story Xx, I hope you enjoy.

The characters and what not are not mine, though compared to the really VD mostly likely slightly OC, also I'm basing some of the chapters on my musical inspiration (the xx) so credit where credit is do, now on to the story.

Kol's P.O.V:

I breath in deeply, enjoying the fresh cool air as it rushes through my lungs. I take in the smells as though I were a new born enjoying my vampire senses for the first time, it had been according to Elijah, been one hundred years since I had first been dagger and left in that box.. The noise of a car passing brings me out of my private solace, the first that I have gotten since having the dagger removed from my heart. The adjustment has been a bit of a struggle, one that my siblings have decided to not help me out with, deciding its best to allow me to get accustomed to this new age on my own. Elijah being the obvious and only exception. The kind sole took it upon himself to teach me everything I needed to know, from the new cars, to cellphones, internet, and TV's, as well as bringing me as up to date on current times as he could, before handing me his keys to what he said was a bmw m3 and sending me out the door. I had driven around until ending up here outside the doors of the mystic falls grill. I take a deep breath in as I make my way inside, scanning my surroundings. As I have never been here before I make my way towards the bar.

I order a drink before scanning the room, my eyes landing on a beautiful brunette. Her blond friend notices my stair and whisperers something over to the brunette.

"The hot guy at the bar is totally checking you out." giggling the last part before sipping at her drink.

"Seriously Caroline, I'm not interested, I don't need more guy drama in my life." replies the brunette, her head still turned away. I turn back around to the bar to grab my drink, my ears still tooned in on the two girls.

"Oh please, you and Stefen are over, and have been for quiet some time, and who cares about Damon, we both know that you guys would never work out, hes to..." the blond sighs, trying to think of the right words, "Well he's just Damon, over bearing, annoying, self centered, self assured,..."

"OK, Caroline, I get it, Damon is Damon, I didn't say I liked him." replies the brunette.

"Well then I don't see what your mopping about, now go over there and talk to that guy before I have to walk on over there and do it for you." states the blond.

"Fine!" laughs the brunette, getting up out of the booth, and taking a last sip of her drink before making her way towards me. "Hi, excuse me," she begins, as I turn around. She breaths in, stopping mid sentence, as our eyes meet. I hear her heart skip a beat before accelerating double time.

I smirk, proud of still getting the desired reaction, "I'm Kol, and you my blushing dear are?" I question, leaning a bit closer.

"Elena Gilbert." she smiles once shes got her blush under control. "You're not from around here are you" its clearly more of a statement rather then a question.

I give a light hearted chuckle as I lean back, "What gave me away?"

She laughs, "Where should I begin, your accent for one."

"Fair enough, how about I make you a proposal." she raises her brown, "Since I clearly am not from around here, how about you give me the tour." I give her my most charming smile.

She bites her lip, looking over at the empty booth that her and her friend had been sitting in only moments ago, before looking back at me. "Alright, I guess I could show you around town for a bit."

"Lead the way, Love." I smile as we make our way out of the grill.

"So where are you from anyway?" she asks, as we make our way down the road known as main street.

"Well my family is originally from England, but I myself was born not far from here." I find myself speaking freely. "But I've lived most of my life in England."

"Do you prefer it better there or here?" she asks,

"Well, I haven't been back here for very long but already there are a few things that I certainly did not get a pleasure of seeing back in England."I smile as I bump her shoulder, my comment making her blush reappear for just a moment as she takes it in.

Her innocent curiosity is infectious as we continue to talk all the way around town. It isn't until her phone rings that we realize how much time has gone by.

"Care?" she answers the phone,

"Hey, your still coming tonight to the stupid ball thing right? Or has your encounter with prince charming gotten you distracted?" laughs her friend from the other line. "You know I heard him talk at the bar, and I got to say he was.."

"Care!" laughs Eleana, looking away from me, embarrassment clear in her eyes.

"Oh, my god, are you two still together?!" Caroline laughs from the other end, "Shit, sorry, promise you'll come tonight?"

"I promise." replies Elena, "Bye Care."

"OK, bye!"

Elena, bits her lips as she looks over me, "Let me guess our time is up." I sigh as I get up from the bench we had been sitting on.

"Yea, I got invited to this thing tonight, and its all really boring, but I have to go." she sighs.

"No need to apologize my dear Elena, It has been an incredible time but all good things must come to an end. There is an end to everything, to good things as well." I quote.

"Chaucer" she smiles.

"But perhaps we may do this again some time, perhaps not the guide but this," I take a step towards her , "I truly have had a wonderful time Elena." I lean in, and as our lips connect the heat builds, my one hand winds around her waist as the other comes up to cup her neck, pulling her towards me with even more fervor. All the while Elena's hands wined there way around my neck and into my hair. I feel a moan escape her lips as we deepen the kiss. We pull apart for breath, our foreheads still touching.

"Wow, I mean," she gives an exhausted laugh, "I don't usually," she laughs again. I nod, chuckling, as well. My cellphone rings in my pocket, knowing its most likely one of my brothers demanding my return to the mansion I let it go to voice mail.

I pull her in as close as I can get her, "Meet me here," I lean my head down again, our lips mear inches away, "1 pm tomorrow." I kiss her lightly on the lips. "Please," again, "I must see you again."Elena's heart beat has sped up again.

"OK," she whispers as she leans up to connect our lips once again. As though fate were looking down on us both of our phones ring. "I really should go." she laughs as we disentangle ourselves from one another.

"Until tomorrow," I smile as I back away,

"Until tomorrow."I hear her whisper back.

Tell me what you guys think, should I continue, and if so, next chapter will be the ball, in the review, tell me:

should Elena a) see Kol there at the ball, and find out who he is,

or b) meet the day after unknowing of his last name, only to find out later on somehow.

Let me know. (also if you choose b it would help to know how you guys think she should find out.) This story is for you fans so I would love to get your guy's input.

Thank you.
