Hello readers the reason I wasn't updating was the fact that I had load of work to do with school as test's are coming up in a few months so im not sure when im gonna be able to update next.
I don't own the vampire diaries.
Later that afternoon when I was making myself lunch I heard a knock on the door. Coming over to see who it was I was surprised when I opened it to see there was no one there just two envelopes on the doorstep. One for Jane and one for me. Opening the one with my name on it it read,
Please join the Mikelson family tonight at seven o'clock for dancing, cocktails and celebration. Turning it over to the back willow noticed there was a note. I need to tell you something important –Kol. That guy again by now I'm positive he's stalking me. But what does he need to tell me that's so important? Maybe if I just go to that Ball ill find out and Jane probably won't mind as she want's me to socialize with the youth around. Ok its decided Im gonna go,good thing I brought a dress that's suitable from back home with me.
I went to go and get ready for this evening and dug through my suitcase for my dress when I finnaly found it I put it on. It was simple dark blue one shoulder dress I have been given by my mum. I remember telling her its pointless to give it to me as I will have nowhere to wear it, but she just told me that I never know I might need it one day. Just then I heard the turning of keys and realized that Jane is home. "Jane! You're back early. There's an invitation on the table from you from some people called the Mikelsnon's. "I'm back early because I was told there isn't anything much left to do around and the Mikelson's are a new family that recently moved to town. We can go just try and keep a distance."
I knew better than to mention Kol so I just told her I would be careful even though I don't know why.
"By the way that dress looks lovely on you willow. I think I might have just the accessory to go with it."
"oh no that's ok I really don't need anything and im not a huge fan of wearing jewlry or things like that."
"Willow its fine I want to give it to you besides it's just something simple. Come on follow me upstairs to my room and ill see where I can find it as I haven't worn it for years."
Without a word Willow followed Jane upstairs into her room. When they came into Jane's room she immidietly went over to her wadrobe and pulled out a blue decorative box. After about five minutes Jane pulled out a simple silver locket necklace with a small Amethyst stone in it and design of waves at the back." This was passed down to me from my grandmother and now I'm giving it to you. It has a herb called vervain in it it's brings protection so I recommend wearing it all the time when you can. But we're going to have to put new one in as this one inside is old and completely crumbled up. Here turn around ill put it on you." I was still completely amazed about the locket but turned around so that Jane would be able to put it on me. "There, all done it look's amazing on you." " Jane this locket its amazing. Thank you! I promise ill wear it when ever I can even though I find the whole protection tale like some sort's of a old wife's tale." "You're welcome but hey you never know the tale might just be true trust me on that. We should do your hair next."
" I was thinking of doing just something simple with it I'm not one for bold and fancy things."
"that's fine I know just what to do." Jane told me with a wink. I couldn't help but laugh at that but made no protest to disagree.
Half an hour later Willow was dressed in her blue dress, her hair had a fishtail going around her head and a knot at the end to keep it together and a pair of dark blue ballet flats.
When Jane came back ready she also had a dark blue dress on her but hers went around the neck a pair of dark blue heels and her hair was left just naturally hanging over her shoulders.
"Jane you look amazing!" thank you but so do you come on let's go the taxi is already waiting for us.
When we arrived at the venue I realized it was a huge mansion decorated especially for tonight, all the guests were wearing tuxes and dresses that would make them stand out. Perfect, I'm not going to be drawing any attention to myself, I can just slip by almost unnoticed and go stand in some corner while looking out for kol to ask him what he said he needed to tell me.
Sadly my plan was failing so far as quiet a few people recognized Jane and decided to come over and talk to her forcing me to be social, Just lovely. They always ask the same how we are what im doing here and then sayng completely emty apologize about how sorry they are about the death of my parents. After they went back to minding their own bussnis, Jane and I walked inside the mansion. The sight was amazing live music was playng, waiters passing out drinks and people seemed to mostly know each other so they were talking and laughing. Jane seemed to be looking around the room for someone and eventually her gaze rested on a woman in a brown dress. "Willow come with me ill introduce you to the mayor." Not very happy with meeting more people but tryng to stay polite I obliged. "alright then."
"Mayor Lockwood! Its nice to see you again. I would like you too meet Willow here."
"Jane! Nice to see you to and a pleasure too meet you Willow. What brings you to mystic falls? As I can see you aren't from around here because you have a accent I can't place and also I haven't seen you around while it's a pretty small town."
"it is nice to meet you as well, I'm from Czech Republic Prague and the death of my parent's is what brings me here." "that's awful!, I am so sorry about your loss." Instead of replying I just smiled and nodded since I could tell it was just another empty apology. "Willow why don't you go and socialize with the rest of the guests, I have some private matters I need to discuss with Carol." "yeah sure" I honestly had no idea where to go or what to do as I didn't know anyone here so I just went with my earlier plan. I walked over to the nearest corner and just decided to stand there.
As a waiter was coming around with a tray of drink's I took one while thanking him. Maybe I should find something to think about to distract myself but every time I try that my parent's dead bodies come's back to haunt my mind.
Just as I was thinking of leaving since I had no real point to come here in the first place a guy with black spiky hair decided to walk over to me. "Hey you're new around here aren't you? I'm Jake and you are?" well here's my chance of getting to know some of the locals I thought as I decided to introduce myself." Willow nice to meet you." He was going to say something else when everyone's attention was turned to the stairs where someone was clinking a glass and beginning to talk. There stood a women which I assumed was their mother, some other three guys, a blonde girl and then I saw Kol. Without even realizing it I turned my head to look at him and then his gaze met mine and he smiled over at me. All I heard off the speech was the last sentence which was to find a dance partner. I didn't even have time to think about who that would be when Jake extended his hand to mine and asked me for a dance."Would you like to dance with me Willow?" I smiled and accepted. We walked over to the dance floor and I saw Kol already with another girl for his partner which for some reason made me feel kind of strange inside. I ended up stepping on Jake's feet a few times as I am quiet a bad dancer and not used to these kind of event's. I apologized to him but he insisted it's fine, good thing I don't wear heels otherwise the poor guy would have quiet a few bad bruises.
When we had to swap partners I didn't even know who I ended up with until he spoke." So darling , I'm glad you decided to come. Missed me over the hours I was away?" I glared at him before replying " The only reason I decided to actually show up is because someone told me they needed to tell me something and no I did not miss you one bit." He seemed quiet amused by my reply and decided to comment on it." Ah yes I believe that someone is me,by the way have I told you you look beautiful tonight?" "compliment's won't get you anywhere. Plus a word of warning I'm a terrible dancer so I'm sorry if I step on you."
"Trust me love ill live after all you seem to be doing quiet well. Won't you tell me your name? I made it quiet obvious that I'm not going to hurt you so your name is perfectly safe with me and you can't really consider me a stranger by now." " Willow, Willow Hale. And you shouldn't really be taking the whole me stepping on your feet so easily I stepped on my last partner's feet quiet a few times so I think he was happy to change partner's."
"That's a lovely name love, and it's his loss of brilliant company." I looked down at my feet when he told me that to hide the blush forming on my face. This was a mistake however as I tripped over my feet and was going to fall when Kol's arm's caught me before I hit the floor. "Careful love, you could of hurt yourself." "thanx you saved me from a lot of embarrassment, I told you I can't dance." " trust me I'd never let you fall and ill teach you how to dance." Kol told me and something made me believe him so I smiled at him and nodded my head. "I'd like that thank you." The dance finished and everyone went to go back to talking with one another, I searched the room for Jake and spotted it him already crowded around three other girls. There goes making a friend with him.
Kol followed my gaze onto Jake and said " you don't need him, if he can't see how interesting a person you are then you just ignore him as he's missing out." I smiled sadly at that since I would of loved to make a friend with at least someone here. " you should go back to your guardian she doesn't look pleased that you're talking to me." "oh" was my only reply. He smiled softly at me and said "don't worry ill see you again soon after all I still need to talk to you about something just not tonight." And before I registered it he was gone, I looked around but I couldn't find kol anywhere. Sighing I made my way back to Jane. " Willow! Were we're you? And why were you with Kol Mikelson?" she fired the questions at me without even taking a breath. " until the dance I was hiding out in the corner of the room then I ended up dancing with Kol after the swap. I'm honestly fine if that's what you're worried about." " Just keep a distance from him ok? He isn't known to be the nicest person" " you worry way too much about me Jane." I told her rolling my eyes. " I know I'm not your mother Willow but I'm tryng to be a good guardian and that mean's tryng to look after you as best as I can for her." Jane told me sadly. " Jane listen to me!" when I was sure I had her attention I continued " you are doing an amazing job at being my guardian. Better than anyone else you got that?" she smiled and nodded her head. "good!" I said smiling. " what did you need to talk with the mayor about?" her face Immidietly became serious when I asked that " Just thing's to do with being on the council." Something told me she wasn't telling me everything but I decided to let it go. " I'm going to go to the balcony and get some fresh air if that's ok with you?" " yeah sure. When you come back we should go since it's getting late and I need to sign you up for school." Ignoring the last one I started making my way to the balcony, I honestly didn't feel like attending school anymore after my parent's death but I knew it's what they would of wanted and I might be glad I did one day. When I arrived at the balcony I heard noises coming from there I hid behind one of the pillar's and decided to see who it is. What I saw on the balcony horrified me Kol was fighting with a black haired guy at unnatural speed then to make matters worse the black haired guy grabbed a hold of Kol's neck as if he was going to snap it I gasped at the scene and Kol then spotted me, his eyes widened and the black guy used his surprise to his advantage and threw him of the balcony while breaking his neck.
I couldn't watch any longer and half run, half walked down to the main hall. Everyone was being told that the ball is over and people were leaving. I spotted Jane looking around for me so I ran to her. " Willow, I'm glad I found you apparently the ball is over so everyone is leaving." " ok, that's fine"
The rest of the ride home was in silence. When we came home the first thing both of us did is change out of our dresses. Jane already headed to bed as she said the drink's were taking their effect on her. While I just changed into my pyjamas and went to my room. Sitting on my bed I was replaying the eve event's of the evening in my head. Kol is not human that's for sure so if he isn't human what is he? And the black haired guy too. Does this mean there are more people like them? This is too much I'll think about it in the morning. For now the most important thing is to get rest so ill have a clear head to think about it tomorrow.
