Chapter 7
A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.
Midnight Moon
Caroline was opening the door and entering the hallway when she heard unfamiliar voices. She walked to the stairs to find some people she had never met or seen here. There was a tall man perhaps in his mid twenties. He had light brown hair and hollow brown eyes. His face was sculptured slightly and he was somewhat muscular. She looked to the woman who had curly rouge red hair that went somewhat down past her shoulders. With vibrate blue eyes that seemed to stand out. She was slender but somewhat strong looking. She wore a nice long nature green dress that went down past her feet. She looked to Elijah who greeted them.
"Brother," He said. Elijah nodded.
"Brother, it is good to see you. Sage nice to see you again." She nodded.
"Elijah," The man glanced at her.
"May I ask who the lovely new face is?" Elijah turned to her.
"Ah Caroline, come meet my brother and his-
"Wife," The red head said. Elijah nodded.
"Wife of course. I didn't realize that you two had married already. I am sure that Niklaus, Rebekah and Kol who will be pleased." Caroline walked down the stairs to the guests. The red head glanced at her with curiousity. She stood next to Elijah. "Caroline, this is my younger brother Finn Mikaelson and his wife Sage. Finn, Sage this is Caroline Forbes she is a vampire and has been staying here for quite some time now." Finn held out his hand to greet her. She took it and shook his hand.
"I am surprised that my brother would consider letting another person in the house that was not family, guests or servants." Finn said. Sage nodded to her.
"Pleasure," Sage looked at the baby vampire and felt superior then her. She did not understand why such a young vampire was among the presence of the originals. She believed that she didn't really deserve to be here.
"Yes, well Niklaus has seemed to have change of mind somewhat. I will explain that later. For now let us get you settled. Miss Bennett would you escort my brother and his wife to their chambers." Bonnie stopped dusting the room to turn to them and nodded.
"Of course M'lord." She walked to them. "Right this way." Caroline watched them before she noticed Klaus and Kol enter. Kol smirked.
"Ah so dear brother has returned." Elijah nodded to him.
"Let me guess he brought that peasant with him." Caroline glanced at Rebekah who sat down on the couch looking slightly board. Elijah sighed.
"You shouldn't be so impolite Rebekah. It is not lady like." She gave him a look.
"Lady? What lady? I don't see any lady other then Miss Caroline. All I see when I look at dear sister is a strumpet." Rebekah glared at him before throwing a book at his head. He dodged and laughed.
"Enough, Kol. Rebekah don't throw books around the house-
"Yeah I know Elijah, it's not lady like." Rebekah said.
"Actually I was going to say that you shouldn't because you might break something." Elijah said before grabbing a book and turning to Kol. "Come Kol, you can get fitted for tonight's ball." Elijah said. Kol sighed before following him.
"Yes please, this house has enough crawling around." Kol turned to her with a smirk.
"At least I don't roll around in the hay sister." She chucked a shoe at him and he flashed away making the shoe hit the wall. But because they were vampires they could hear his laughter. Rebekah shook her head before deciding that she needed to get ready for the ball. Caroline glanced at Klaus who approached her with a smile.
"You will have to excuse my siblings they can be quite a handful." Klaus said. Caroline nodded.
"They're nice," Klaus burst into laughter.
"Love, I know my siblings and they are many things but they are hardly nice." She shrugged.
"I'm an only child. Though I was suppose to have a little brother. My mother had died in child birth and he didn't survive and died two days later." She said. Klaus looked at her.
"I'm sorry," She shook her head.
"It was a long time. I hardly remember it. I was probably too young to remember. Anyway I should probably go and- She was started to turn when Klaus grabbed her arm and she turned back to look at him confused and couldn't help but glance to his hand on her arm. Klaus realized that he was still holding her arm and reluctantly let go. Caroline suddenly wished that he didn't for she liked his skin touching hers. It was like electricity between them.
"Ah…Caroline may I be so kind as to escort you to the ball?" He asked. She wondered if he was also asking to court her. But she wasn't sure. As much as her mind still wanted to avoid him at all coast and it was probably the right this her heart seemed flutter at the thought. She swallowed hard but gave a small smile.
"You shall." She said. Klaus was shocked that she would even agree. But Klaus being Klaus had a cocky smile on his face now.
"I look forward to you this evening." She smiled shyly before turning and making her way upstairs to her chamber. When she shut the door she leaned against the door. Still not understand what had happened now for the past two weeks. One minute she hated him the next she liked him. And now she was feeling things that she had never felt for anyone before. And she liked it. She liked feeling like this for him.
Elijah was looking at himself in the mirror. He was only in his pants that were fitted when there was a knock at his door followed by the door opening.
"Excuse me M'lord you asked to- Elena froze and couldn't help but have her eyes gazed to his naked chest. She immediately turned around flustered and covered her eyes with her eyes. "Forgive me M'lord I didn't realize that you were changing." Elijah smiled and chuckled.
"It is quite alright Miss Elena." He said. "Actually I am glad you're here. But I guess the timing was a bit earlier than expected. I was wondering if you had anything to wear this evening." She still didn't turn around as she spoke.
"No M'lord I had thought it would be you and your family along with a few other guests." Elijah was putting his shirt on now.
"Well I think that once things are ready that perhaps the servants such as yourself. Though forgive me I don't mean to mock you and what class that you are. I was just going to allow a day off for you. I feel as if you deserve one." Elena smiled slightly.
"M'lord that would be wonderful. I would quite enjoy that along with the others. But what would we wear?" She asked.
"Gather the women and the men. Tell the men to come here and I shall give them some clothes to borrow. And for the women go to my sister and she shall help you."
"Thank you M'lord you are too kind." Elena said. Elijah nodded as he began to button his shirt up.
"That will be all now Elena you may go to get ready. I will not keep you any longer." She nodded and walked to the door and closed it.
"Yes M'lord." She said before leaving. Elijah smiled and looked at himself in the mirror once again getting ready. He had always been quite fond of Miss Elena Gilbert she was a fare young woman. Quite kind and selfless and that was what made him curious and fascinated by her. They became good friends but he always thought highly of her. He had always thought about courting her but he would not want to the ruin the profound friendship that they had. He found it a wonderful one that had developed over the years. But he would try to woo her perhaps to see where things would take them. He could only hope that things would not screw on this night. This Midnight Moon that was known throughout the older supernatural of the world. It was the one night where the supernatural would gather as one. And it was also a legend that at the stroke of midnight on the moon's high peak it was a chance for one to find there mate. Perhaps many would find there's. He could only hope though.
Note: So there is another chapter. Finn and Sage are in this. I had thought they would be nice to add and someone had requested them. So I added them. So Klaus has asked to escort her to the ball and she said yes. YAY! More Klaroline next. Might also been time for something more. Hint hint nudge. Lol. Reviews thanks.
