At the ball:
I was going to see them again. My amazing friend Rebekah and her brother...Elijah... From the moment I saw him, I fell for him. He escorted me everywhere and showed me all the greatest things in life for five years. Then Klaus ruined it. He daggered Rebekah so I ran in fear. And now I was going to see them again.
I was dressed in a midnight blue dressed that poofed out but floated down at the ends. It had many layers made of different materials but I favored this dress after Rebekah bought it for my 'birthday' I even wore a corset.
The upper part of the dress was a shade lighter and had silver gems going up towards my chest. A few of them littered the outer layer of the dress, which was rather thin, making the dress sparkle.
To top it all off I was wearing elbow length, black gloves and matching blue heels. I even curled my hair, giving it this sort of wavy look.
I hoped Elijah liked it. Oh shut up Bella, you sound like a love sick puppy.
I sighed and pushed open the two grand doors that allowed me to enter the Mikaelsons. I was a vampire but I had been invited into here many years ago.
As I stepped in I noticed I was a couple of minutes late so everyone was staring at me as they danced. Thankfully they had only just started.
"Bella you came!" Kol exclaimed with a big, friendly grin. as he extended his hand.
I smiled back at his excitement and accepted his outstretched hand, "I apologize for being late and to keep you waiting"
Kol smirked and shook his head, "Nonsense, lets dance"
Currently we were dancing to a more sadder song which I had never heard at a ball before. Maybe someone requested.
Kol clasped both of my hands in his and we began to waltz to the intro.
"My brother requested this song" Kol murmured with a smirk which made me inwardly frown.
"Really?" I replied, shocked. I wonder who for?
"Yes hes a bit of a sap" Kol chuckled and shook his head as if he relived a memory.
I returned his chuckle with a small giggle as Kol twirled me.
I don't know where I'm at
I'm standing at the back
And I'm tired of waiting
Waiting here in line, hoping that I'll find what I've been chasing.
I felt something burn against my head and turned my head to the side to see the burning eyes of Elijah glare at Kol and I.
"It seems Elijah is jealous" Kol stated as a smile tugged at the corner of his lip.
I shot for the sky
I'm stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I'm gonna fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Never know why it's coming down, down, down.
Kol twirled me again and pulled me closer into his embrace. His coffee eyes twinkled with excitement and mischief.
"Having fun Bella?" Kol murmured against my ear while I smirked. I could see his game as clear as the day. He was trying to make Elijah jealous even when Kol didn't know we were friends before.
Not ready to let go
Cause then I'd never know
What I could be missing
But I'm missing way too much
So when do I give up what I've been wishing for.
I thought about how I had never let go of my feelings for Elijah as Kol and I dance further across the floor. At one brief moment Elijahs arm brushed mine and I felt electricity shoot up my arm. Elijahs green eyes met mine and I knew he had felt it as well. Only then had I noticed who Elijah was dancing with after I received a glare from her. Lauren.
I shot for the sky
I'm stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I'm gonna fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Never know why it's coming down, down, down.
Oh I am going down, down, down
I can't find another way around
And I don't want to hear the sound, of losing what I never found.
She pressed her head to his chest and murmured sweet nothing into his ear. I felt my blood boil as jealousy rose up my chest. I was tempted to growl but I was forced to swallow it.
I shot for the sky
I'm stuck on the ground
Why do I try, I know I'm gonna fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
I'll never know why it's coming down, down, down.
Kol twirled me effectively taking me away from Laurens prying eyes.
"Bitch" I muttered but Kol had heard.
"Who?" He replied with an amused smirk.
"Lauren, trying to make me jealous.."
"Who's Lauren?" Kol asked, confused.
"The cow attached to Elijah"
Only then did I realise that Elijah had heard every word as he gave me an amused smile from across the room. The blood rose up to my cheeks creating an massive blush.
I shot for the sky
I'm stuck on the ground
Why do I try, I know I'm gonna fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
I never know why it's coming down, down, down.
Just as the song ended, I was passed from Kols arms to someone elses.
"Klaus" I gasped in shock as his hands clamped around mine.
"Long time no see" Klaus smirked at me, and for once I could actually see emotion in his eyes.
He began to lead me along to the waltz and I noticed how his eyes stayed trained on a blonde girl in Elijahs arms.
He was in love.
We are the lucky ones
We shine like a thousand suns
When all of the colour runs together
This was more of a song you would hear at a ball I concluded as Klaus spun me around.
"You've fallen in love haven't you?" I muttered to him but kept my eyes on Elijah.
"And so have you. In fact you fell in love a long time ago" Klaus pointed out.
My head snapped towards his, "How did you know?"
"Bella you have no idea how obvious you made it" Klaus smirked at me, a familiar smirk that showed victory.
"Whats her name?"
"Caroline"
I'll keep you company
In one glorious harmony
Waltzing with destiny forever
Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light
Klaus and I were getting frighteningly close to Elijah and Caroline who had managed to wrap Klaus around her finger.
"How did she do it?" I wondered to myself.
"I have no idea" Klaus replied not realizing I was talking to myself. He hadn't removed his eyes from Caroline unless needed to.
Time dances whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven
I wonder if Elijah knows I love him. That would be embarrassing if he didn't return the affection.
Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever
Suddenly an idea came to me.
"Want me to make Caroline jealous?" I asked him in a low voice so she couldn't hear.
Klaus hesitated before nodding silently making me smirk.
"Make me laugh" I said to him with an expectant look. What I didn't expect was something physical.
He began to tickle me but made sure no one could see.
I began to giggle not too loud but not too quiet and Carolines head snapped towards Klaus.
"Stop it!" I snickered and pinched his cheek.
"Okay"
Caroline looked so jealous, she was seething.
Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light
"Want me to pass you to Elija-" Klaus looked over to them, "Never mind hes getting closer anyway"
Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Let the dark waltz begin
Oh let me wheel - let me spin
Let it take me again
Turning me into the light
As the song ended I was passed into Elijahs warm arms.
I'm dying to catch my breath
Oh why don't I ever learn?
I've lost all my trust,
though I've surely tried to turn it around
Elijahs emerald eyes bored into mine as he spun me around much gentler than Klaus or Kol.
"Eli" I mumbled suddenly wanting to hug him but held the urge back.
"Isa" His voice whispered, it was so soft and sad.
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace
Elijah pulled me closer to him, and held me flush against him as we danced together.
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear me down
You've opened the door now, don't let it close
"I missed you" I choked out as we moved along further.
"I missed you too"
I'm here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
from turning it around
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace
Elijah and I had danced in silence, keeping our eyes trained on each other. I bit my lip and tried to concentrate on moving my feet in sync but I fell and crashed against Elijah. Thank God I didn't make him fall.
I was practically hugging him and now I could smell the mint radiating from his mouth and his musky cologne.
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Lauren bashed into us snapping us out of the weird trance we were in as she giggled at an annoyed Kol.
Don't tear it down, what's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Elijah spun me around again as we got back into sync with the other dancers. I watched as Bekah winked at me from across the room. She knew too didn't she?
I tried many times but nothing was real
Make it fade away, don't break me down
I want to believe that this is for real
Save me from my fear
Don't tear me down
Elijahs hand unclasped mine and I missed the loss of warmth. He pushed back a stray lock behind my ear before returning his hand back to mine with a smile.
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down, what's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place
No one dared to interrupt us so I was still dancing with Elijah to the next song.
This song was much slower so we had to slow our movement.
Settle down with me
Cover me up
Cuddle me in
Gently and slowly Elijah spun me around and pulled my back against his chest for a moment before turning me back around to face him.
Something flickered across his green orbs that I didn't know.
Lie down with me
And hold me in your arms
And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now
I lay my head against Elijahs chest and listened to faint heart beat. I noticed it increased in speed when my arms wrapped around his neck. All the dancers had changed now to a dance when all their really doing is swaying. Elijah placed his hands just above my hips and swayed along with me.
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
I had now brought my head up to look into Elijahs eyes. I want to be loved. I thought to myself as the singer sang those words.
I was concentrating on his lips that cracked a small smile.
Settle down with me
And I'll be your safety
You'll be my lady
Elijah removed one hand from my hip and stroked my cheek.
I was made to keep your body warm
But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms
Elijah pulled me closer to him so my head was resting on his shoulder.
Oh no
My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with this feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now
Gradually, Elijah pulled back and met my eyes again. He caressed my cheek with his hand.
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
Slowly, we leaned in...And our lips brushed...But he pulled away...
His eyes searched mine for something. I'm guessing denial but I promise you that would never be there.
His lips returned to mine and my dreams had officially come true. His lips were so soft and gentle, like the true gentleman he was as his other hand came up from my hip and caressed the other cheek.
Yeah I've been feeling everything
From hate to love
From love to lust
From lust to truth
I guess that's how I know you
So I hold you close to help you give it up
Elijah pulled back and kissed my forehead with a small smile.
"Finally!" Bekahs voice could be faintly heard through the room, only by vampires obviously.
So kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
I cupped Elijahs face with my two hands and crashed my lips against his. I made our kiss slow and passionate and eventually my hands found themselves wrapped around Elijahs neck again. He pulled me closer as I realized that this was the moment I had been waiting for all these years.
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love
We pulled back and stared lovingly into each others eyes.
"I love you Eli, I always have" I murmured and it felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from my chest.
"I love you too"
