Nina's pov

Here I was, lurking in the darkness provided by the trees of the garden of the mansion. He did not know I was here yet and I was going to make sure to take advantage of this. I would surprise him! He hadn't seen me for over 500 years. I had still watched him from time to time to check on what he was doing. I was only back here, in Mystic falls because Kol and Rebekah asked me. Rebekah had finally understood that her dear brother (note the sarcasm) was quite a piece of work and Kol was finally de-daggered. Dear Esther was back in the picture too. And this is why I was here; to help them if it came down to that. To figure out what kind of sick twisted idea was now in Klaus' head as well as uncover the plan Esther was putting in motion. They were sure there was something going one with them, especially Esther who seemed a little bit to cheerful.

I had always liked to make a big entrance and now was going to be no different. I smoothed down my ball gown. It was a gray halter floor length dress that fit me to perfection. I quickly checked my appearance in the reflection provided by the large window. I still looked dazzling, even if I say so myself. My wavy mahogany hair was pulled to one side of my head. My hazel eyes seemed to shine in the darkness against my light olive skin.

Inside I could hear Elijah starting to talk, presenting his family and decided if I wanted to make my big entrance it was now or never. And so I walked in. I came through the grand entrance banging the doors as they opened to lead me just in front of the party gathered in front of the stair case where the originals were showing off. The silence was deafening and I couldn't help but smile. I did it again, I surprised them all. Their faces when I came in were quite a site, one I was enjoying very much.

All the people from Mystic Fall looked at me as if I was a pink flying elephant. They were shocked that someone could disturb them as well as curious to know who I was. However I think the funniest site were the faces of the Mikaelson family, so different from each other. Esther was displeased that someone interrupted her little reunion, a frown was plastered on her face; Kol had his usual smirk but I could see in his eyes he was glad I was able to come; Rebekah's smile was so wide I thought her face might crack, but I was happy to see her too, just like Kol, they were just my family now after all. Finn, well he didn't seem to care too much but then again he never seemed to show any emotions, well he did wallow in self-pity but that hardly counts; Elijah was surprised, but he harbored a small smile which was good enough for me. Klaus however was another story, he was furious. He knew that my presence could only mean trouble for him. He was livid because once again I was the one who found him when he never knew where I was. Once again I managed to surprise him which he clearly did not appreciate.

The tension in the air was palpable. I decided I might as well continue to unnerve Klaus.

"How good it is to see you all again, I hope you will excuse my being late but I did always like to make an entrance so it was expected! Well my dear Klaus do not seem so surprised, I'm sure Kol or Rebekah told you that I would be a little late". Still nobody dared to talk, no one dared to move and all were waiting for a reaction from their host.
"So Elijah, you were saying?"

The party turned back to Elijah, they now knew I was a "friend of the family" and it was enough for them. Elijah returned to his speech, taking my prompting as his cue to speak up again and ease their guest "So as I was saying, it is a tradition for us to start the evening with a dance…"

I had sent my message to Klaus; he knew that two of his siblings at least had asked me to come. He knew that he had lost part of his family and that it was important he be very careful about his actions. I could make his life a living hell and he knew it.

"…if all of you could find yourselves a partner and join us in the ballroom." Ah, we were going to dance, I liked to dance especially the waltz; it was one of the things of the past that I missed a lot. One by one the people went to the ball room and Kol came to me.

"Will you dance Nina?"

"What a stupid question, of course I will dance! After all I couldn't miss out on all the fun!"

"I'm glad you could come, we missed you"

"No you didn't, you were in a little box!"

"How dare you! First of all I wasn't in a box, it was a coffin, then it wasn't little because I'm tall, and might I remark that I am a lot taller than you, you even seem to have shrunk since the last time I saw you!" he was laughing by the end of the sentence because I was making my sad puppy face.

"Kol, you wound me! I refuse to let this insult on my height go without notice so I am now going to sulk" And I pouted some more

He only laughed some more at my remark and took me to the dance floor. We started to dance and I rested my head on his chest (his shoulder was too far up). I had missed him, him and our continuous quarreling.

All of a sudden he spun me around and I arrived in the arms of no one else but Damon Salvatore. His eyes were as blue as I remembered. His hair was a little different but it was to be expected after such a long time. He still was his tall, dark, handsome self.

I don't think he remembered me, I don't think he even noticed me really; he was looking at a girl on the other side of the room. The doppelganger if I am not mistaken. She was waltzing with Stephan. Ah, it seemed it was the same story over again with the Salvatore brothers. And even though I knew it was a result from Katherine's little experiment on them, I could not help but feel a pang in my chest.

Suddenly they left and Damon finally looked down to meet my gaze. He smiled and continued to dance without saying as much as a word to me.

I decided to break the silence,

"Well hello Damon, it has been a long time hasn't it"

"…"

"This is new, I think it's the first time Damon Salvatore is speechless, quick people, come and watch this rare phenomenon!"

"Excuse me but I do not believe that we have met so I would appreciate if you did not mock me as you are now doing, I am your dance partner after all" he was pleased with his answer and his smirk grew a little as he thought he had managed to shut me up.

"Oh, but I do know you, very well as well! You just have no recollection of me. And I would be happy if you did not use that condescending tone with me mister!"

"Who the hell are you? First you come in here and make Klaus see red before you even have uttered a word and now you act as if you know me!" Just like in the olden days (Ha, that's funny because it wasn't that long ago really, 50 years maybe) he did not like not to be in control.

"Klaus did seem particularly unhappy to see me didn't he? I thought it would happen but I have to say I never imagined it to be so thrilling to witness him being so angry, he certainly did not expect me. The look on his face, priceless!"

"How is it that he is so frightened of you, you're like this tiny little women!" the smirk was back on.

"I might not be very tall Damon but I could kick your ass into next year with a flick of my hand so I suggest you do not push my buttons to far" While I was saying that I decided I might as well show him and so by the end of the dance he was struggling to stay on his two feet.

"It was good to see you again Damon" and just like that I left, I had to go and see Rebekah and Kol so we could talk about what was going on in this crazy town.

Before I could leave, Damon grabbed my arm and pulled me to his chest;

"Who the hell are you?"

"I do not see a reason as of now for me to reveal this piece of information! «There was a dangerous edge to my tone, one that told you not to mess with me.
«As you want little one, but I will find out who you are even if it's the last thing I do and when I get my hands on this information...» And I cut him off before he could finish his sentence, anger was pouring from all of my body, and I didn't control a thing I said anymore. He had always managed to do that, push my buttons until my walls crumbled and I couldn't hind my feelings anymore.

«You will never be able to find out who I am because I erased your stupid memory!" I was screaming by now,"I erased every thought you ever had which was related to me, I made myself vanish from your existence!"

He was stunned, my screams still echoing in the night.

Before he could react, I vanishing into the darkness, I didn't want to see his face after my little speech. I didn't want to see the emotions reflected in his eyes. I knew very well that if I stayed any longer I would reveal the entire story and I do not believe it to be a good idea.

A single word rang into the quiet and static night, no louder than a whisper but clear as a bell

"Nina?"
