Being a Mikaelson

~xXx~

I wanted to call out to my siblings but they too were running for their lives. I glance over my shoulder, and I could feel my heart thumping in my chest- and I wasn't even sure if I had a heart anymore. The dark night was ever so sweet, it was the safest for my kind yet the way the monster was chasing us, the night betrayed us.

It betrayed me.

However, I kept running. I would not lose my life tonight. There was no way, I couldn't die. My family needed me even if they didn't say it aloud.

I kept running, but I heard the wisp of someone coming closer. Was it Niklaus? Or maybe Elijah….could it be Rebekah?

"You're almost a thousand…? Whoa…that would mean you were changed a little after the originals first figured out their powers." Matt says in awe, staring at Christie.

She rolls her eyes however. "Thanks for calling me old, Matt."

He blushes a little, glancing down at his feet. "I didn't mean it like that…"

Christie waves her hand in reply. "It doesn't matter if you call me old, Mattie. I am old."

Damon chuckles softly, shaking his head. "I'm surprised. If I ever called you old, you would throw me into a wall."

"You're a vampire, Damon." Christie starts to explain. "Matt's human and I wouldn't like to change another person. Being a vampire isn't something I would want someone to have to deal with."

He was about to reply but Stefan steps forward. "Who changed you?"

"I wouldn't like to talk about that," Christie slightly shivers. "I'm a vampire, and old for that. A powerful allies at that."

Elena nods, stepping and holding onto Stefan's arm. "We need her, don't we?"

"I guess so," Stefan replies softly to her.

Christie smiles at them before she turns to face Matt. "So is there anything else I should know?"

"I'm a witch," Bonnie says as she steps forward. "Caroline's a vampire and so is Damon and Stefan. Alaric is a vampire hunter and Elena's human."

"So we have a powerful, team yes?" Christie nods to herself, as she taps her chin. "Who may our enemy be?"

"The Mikaelson family." Says Bonnie.

"Okay, but we should all get a good sleep, okay?" Christie says before everyone leaves.

The Ball

The ball was going to happen that night. Christie knew the drill. She dresses up in a form fitting sparkly whitish brown colored. It was like a mermaid dress, and was beautiful (Look on my profile to find link). She had her hair in curls and it was beautiful. She looks at herself in the mirror, taking in a deep breath before she starts going towards the door.

She opens it, and then was on her way to Klaus's house.

…..at the house…..

"Come in,"

Christie nods in reply, smiling and she walks into the large house. She caught sight of Elijah, and her heart broke a little. He looks good however, and she nods. She walks a little more in, and then… "Christie? Is that you?"

She turns around finding Damon, and she smiles. "Yes it is me."

"Wow you look hot,"

"Thanks."

They begin in chat about anything really, and then they look over when Rebekah nears them. "Damon— who are you?" She looks Christie up and down.

"I'm Christie,"

Rebekah raises an eyebrow, but shrugs. "Anyway, Damon, I need to talk to you. Do you know where Elena is?"

Damon shakes his head. "Nope, I've been hanging out with Christie."

"You're useless." Rebekah sighs heavily before the young woman moves on.

"Sorry about her….she's—"

"A bitch at times? I know," Christie says, staring at the woman walk away.

Damon chuckles, "I like you."

"I like you too." Christie flashes him a small smile.

"May I have your attention?" It was Elijah. Everyone turns to face the man. "Now it is for the waltz. Pick a partner."

Christie didn't know many people but then Damon holds out his hand to her. "Would you do the honor and dance with me?"

She smiles, "I'd love to."

They walk to the dance floor, and then the music starts. They dance to it, and chat softly. "So…." Damon says awkwardly.

"You're really sweet, Elena's lucky to have you." Christie says out of nowhere.

"Elena's dating my brother, Stefan."

"Oh…" Christie looks down for a moment. "Do you love her?"

Damon sighs, "I kinda don't want to talk about this with you. We're dancing together; there is no Elena about this."

"You care about her," She says, "I can see it in your eyes."

"Shut up," Damon grumbles. "Anyway, this part of the dance is about us. Not Elena. Not Stefan. Not even Katherine."

She smiles. "That makes me feel much better."

"Good."

The dance goes on before they had to switch. Elena ends up with Damon. Christie falls into her brother's arms. She stares as she gulps softly. "Hello, I don't believe we've met." Klaus says. "I am Klaus Mikaelson. And you are?"

"I'm Christie." Christie says, wondering if she should say her last name.

Klaus nods, as they dance. "So do you like the ball so far?"

"It's a blast from the past, that's for sure." Christie says, and then Klaus gives her an odd look. "I mean, didn't people do balls back in the day?"

He nods. "Yes they did, but balls are old school."

"I believe you're right…" She says slightly rambling.

They switch partners again, and Damon ends up with Rebekah. Christie goes into Kol's arms. Kol watches her for a moment and then smiles. "Why hello beautiful; do we know each other?"

She shakes her head. "I just moved into town."

"Oh." Kol nods, "Well I'm Kol."

"Christie."

"Nice name." Kol says. "My sister a long time ago went by that name…nickname I mean."

"What happened to your sister?"

"She passed away a few years back."

"Oh…"

They keep dancing. No one notices Elena sneaking up stairs…
