Elijah emerged from the foyer with 4 men. Selena observed them all, handsome, to say the least. There were two who looked a little older, maybe Niklaus's age, and there were two a little younger, like Harry's age. They all came in with faces that would intimidate someone if you didn't know them. "Ladies, these are the princes and lords on the east side of scotland." Elijah told the girls, as the rest of the family seemed to know who they were. This is prince Damon and his younger brother prince Stefan" he told them. Selena and Caroline both gave them smiles while taking in their looks. Damon had a more darker vibe to him, like Nik maybe. He had black wavy hair, and light gray eyes, and sly/creepy smile about him. Stefan, his younger brother, was intimidating as well but had a more lighter air about him. One may compare him to Elijah, seemed to be tough but he gave a brilliant smile and had brilliant green eyes. "And this is lord Louis and his brother lord Zayn." They were the younger of the foursome, but brothers? they looked nothing alike. Looking past that, they were just as handsome as the older two. Louis had sea green eyes and dirty blond hair that he seemed to keep pushing out of his face because it just wouldn't stay put. And then there was his, ahem, brother, Zayn. He had slightly darker skin then Louis and he had brown eyes and he had black hair. He was like what Caroline's mother would describe as a "bad boy" or at least that's what he looked like. "Men, these are the ladies of the house. This is lady rosemary, and Stefan as you know, this is lady Alexis. And this lady Elena. You've all met before" "Yes we have... but who are these two ladies?" Stefan asked. "These ladies are new to the castle, they're here for Niklaus and Harry as you heard. this is lady Selena and lady Caroline" Elijah told the men. Considering the girls came from a poor village, they really didn't have the right to be address as "lady" Selena or "lady" Caroline, but Elijah did it anyway. And the girls later thanked him for it. "It's nice to meet you all." Damon said. "Likewise." Caroline answered. Selena just smiled at them. Considering, one: Harry told her too. Two: it was easier just to smile and nod. And three: she thought maybe the night would end faster if she let Caroline do all the talking. And she found that the night did past faster if she just let Caroline do what she did best. Talk. But with Caroline it wasn't like an annoying chatter. It was more like when she talked, everyone wanted to listen. Ever since Selena first bumped into her, she seen that she had this 'little girl' like quality. With her blond curls and blue eyes, it wasn't hard for anyone to see that light about her. Selena was different. was she beautiful? Of course she was. She had the face that one would imagine for a queen. For a ruler of all Lands. A face that could be on a dollar bill. But she was rough around the edges. She didn't like having to dress up, she hated having people mess with her hair in the morning and most of all she hated the attention. As the night was dying down Selena wonder over to one of the patio windows that was at the end of all the room. "Having fun?" Said a voice in her ear. She knew who it was before she turned. "What do you want?" She asked Harry. He took a vase that was sitting on a stool off and put it on the floor. And pushed the stool to her so she could sit. "What is wrong with you? You can't do that, you do have guest here." She said. "Love, you don't know these people, I do. I don't have to impress them." He took the stool and sat on it himself while she just continued to roll her eyes at him. "Why so mean to me?" He asked with a curious look and smile. "I did nothing to you." He said. "Really? You didn't? Cause I remember the look on my mother's face when you took away her only child." She told him. He seem to understand what she was saying, then he said "But you seem to take a liking to Elijah." She didn't really know how to respond to that. Yes, it wasn't Elijah she was to marry, but he was just as responsible for her "kidnapping" as Harry was. She turned away from him. Letting the subject go, he said. "There are other couples here at this party, besides us, you know." Trying to lighten the mood. "We are not a couple." She said walking back towards him. "Not yet." He told her. She rolled her eyes at again. "So who's seeing who?" She asked. She might not like Harry, but if she was stuck in this room for the rest of the night, she might as well get some gossip for the girls tomorrow. "Not exactly 'seeing' each other." He told her. She was confused. "It's like this" he started. "See him? That's Prince Stefan. I've known him for a long while. He's a good lad. He's Nik's best friend and He's engaged to be married to some woman from the south, But..." He stopped with a smile. "But what? Don't stop now." She said. So many jokes he could have made with what she just said, but he continued. "You know that girl that's in the running with you to marry one of us, Elena?" He asked. She nodded, listening closely. "He's sleeping with her." He told her. She stared at him, eyes wide as ever. With a laugh, she said "What!?". Elena was a sweet girl. She seem to hate when people of higher class looked down upon the poor. And she helped calm Selena down when she first seen those red eyes, but sleeping with a prince that's engaged? Scandalous! "But I thought in order to marry to a Prince, you have to be a virgin?" She said. "Well, not necessary. If you have money already as a princess you don't really have to be a virgin. but if you want a king to marry you and you don't come from money, then it's more likely he will marry you if you are pure. See, if you have money and he has money then it's really about combining and having more money together. But if you don't have money then it's all about image for the king, finding someone who is a virgin and beautiful." Harry explained to her. It was odd how 'Royal-ness' worked she thought. "Well that's hypocrisy at it's finest." She said. "Indeed." Harry stated. "And that's Stefan's brother, Damon." He continued. "He isn't married yet, but everytime he comes over we always make fun of him because we always find him staring at our nurse Bonnie. He's got sort of a hang up over her, it's quite amusing really."
"It's not funny. Not being with the one you love is not 'amusing'. She told him. "Well lucky for you, you'll never have to know what that's like since you already have me." He said with a smile. "Not even in your dreams at night, Harry." She told him. "Wow, she called me a name and it wasn't an insult. I'd say that's progress." He said. She was about to call him one but when she looked at him she started thinking. Thinking about how someone who acted so normal was a prince and how someone so normal looking could be capable of killing even the strongest of men in a second if he wanted too. She lost her train of thought when someone came over. "Harry, we're leaving now." Zayn told him. "Zayn, this is Selena. Selena, zayn." Harry introduced them again. "How do you do?" Selena said to him. Caroline was starting to rub off on her, she could tell. "Yeah, you can stop with all the manners and all now. I'm not Elijah." Zayn told her with a smile. "Zayn and Louis are my mates, you don't have to be like that with them." Harry said. "Well, if I don't have to be so polite then I'm walking away now. Goodbye." Selena told them both. "It was nice to meet you." Zayn said laughing as she pushed past both of them. "Likewise." She called bark over her shoulder. When she was out of the ear view of Zayn, Harry ran and said. "Come up to my room tonight" usually she would have turned to slap a man if he asked her this. But considering this was a room full with people, let alone supernatural being, she just said. "No! You're crazy if you're thinking I would go to bed with you and didn't your mother say no women were allowed in the princes rooms?" She was confused when he started smiling and his face started looking a little red. "Um... come up to my room tonight so I can tell you about that thing you saw in the hall." He finished. And her cockiness was gone. "...Oh." Was all she manage to say. "Is that what you thought I was going to say? You think that small of me. darling?" He ask with a smile. "I don't exactly think highly of you." She said. "We've only known each other for two days. I wouldn't try to bed you . You're too...classy for the likes of that." He said walking past her with lazy eyes. Again she thought about how she would have had any other guy in a headlock if he were to act that confident around her. But she didn't say anything to this one. In fact she even let a smile slip from her lips. Caroline was walking to the corner where drinks were being served. While she was there she could have swore she saw Selena and prince harry talking and laughing. "You should try the gin. Has a bit of a kick to it really." A voice said from behind her. "Oh, I prefer the water. But thank you prince Niklaus." She said, tensing a bit. "Y-you don't have to call me prince Niklaus." He said, noticing her sudden change. "Okay. Well, what would you like me to call you?" She asked. "Whatever you like" he breathed. "My siblings call me Klaus or- or Nik." He said. He never really talked to her much but when he did or if she had to ask him something, he would always act this way. Shy. Stumbling over his words. But lord knows he wasn't. Why, he's the infamous prince Niklaus. "I like 'Nik'. " she said. " then 'Nik' it is." He with a low laugh. She couldn't really help her self . She had to ask him. "Why do you always act this way around me?"
"What way? I have a way?" He asked her.
"Not really a way, just.. i don't know. maybe a little nervous?" She said to him. "Well, I can't really help it. You kind of make me nervous." He told her as he looked at the ground. She was about to respond when she heard the sound of glass clicking. It was Elijah getting everyone's attention. "Thank all of you for coming tonight. It was a pleasure having you, as always." He said, standing on the staircase. "I know some of you have traveled a long way from your home to be her, for that, you may retired to your rooms for in this castle for tonight. My friends, it's been my pleasure." He said as everyone thanked him for a great evening. " , I may take you back to your room now." Jenna came to tell her. Caroline turned to say something to Nik but he was already walking away. But not before he whispered to her. "Goodnight miss."
" I'll see you all tomorrow! Caroline told the girls and her new best friend, or at least she would consider her to be, Selena, before Jenna took them to their rooms for the night. She walked over to her dresser and took off her earrings and took off her necklace. She took out the clip that was holding her hair up as well. She walked over to her wardrobe where she was to take off her dress when she felt something on her shoulder suddenly. Something that felt too much like someone breathing on her. She turn around and screamed.
Selena told Jenna that prince Harry was waiting on her to arrive, so she took her to his room, instead of her own. His room was at the very top of the castle and it seem like they had been walking forever and when they finally got to the top level of the castle. she could make out 7 rooms. And she knew they were for the Mikaelsons and their parents. Just as Jenna left, the door opened to reveal a shirtless Harry. "And she came." He said as she said as walked in. "Don't get any ideas Harry. You know why I'm here, and that's the only reason I'm here."
"Okay." Was all he said, closing the door. "Where do you want to start?" He asked, standing in front of her. "With you taking your eyes off my chest" she told him. "Sorry love. couldn't really help myself. I am only a man." he said with a laugh. And just like that the door came flying open and what was standing in it was so terrifying that Selena thought she had forgotten how to breath. But this time it wasn't the red eyes. It was scarier. It was . -
Tell me what you guys think! :)
