Sometimes it feels like the whole wide world has made itself my enemy.
But I will stand upon my own two feet and raise my head up.
~ My Sanity On The Funeral Pyre - Atreyu
Elena's plan was to take full effect as soon as possible. She had called the lawyer and he would be on his way over. Angela sat on the couch and was petting a sleeping Midnight on her lap. There was a knock at the door and Elena got up to get it. Elijah stepped in and walked towards Angela. His face looked a bit blank, like he had just saw a ghost. When in reality, he was confused. That man in his own home threw him off and it frustrated Elijah.
"Elijah?" He snapped out of it only to see Angela's icy blue eyes staring up at him, Midnight rubbing on his legs. He shook his head.
"I came by to ask if you would accompany me to my brother's private party. You too Elena. And the Salvatore brothers." He smiled but Angela knew it was fake.
"What is the party for?" She asked.
"My brother has associated himself with a historian visiting our little town to write a book of some sort. Niklaus offered to host a get together of the remaining members of the founding families. But you are going as my date."
"I'd get to meet more of your family...Is your brother as charming as you are?" She teased. He didn't look so amused.
"When is this party, Elijah?" Elena stood up. "The lawyer will be here soon. We are having Angela sign the deed to the house to reset the number of vampire visitors."
"If everyone agrees, it will be tonight. Just a small get together to talk about the town's history." How boring..Angela thought. But at least she'd have a little eye candy.
"Maybe a small party will be nice. What do you think, Stefan? Some relaxing?" Elena turned to him and asked. He nodded.
"Sure. Damon?"
"Well if you insist! Oh stop pushing me Stefan, I'll go!" Damon smirked at his brother.
"I will be sure to let him know and will start making preparations."
Angela raised up to her toes and kissed him. "Mmmm." He smiled at her and Damon cleared his throat.
"I'll be back soon." Angela's heart raced again, causing him to smile as he left.
"Sign here, please and the house is yours." The lawyer pushed his half inch thick glasses back up the bridge of his nose and pointed to the line.
Angela watched as the three waited outside. She signed the deed and nothing..nothing happened.
"Congratulations Miss Steele. It's yours." He packed up his small briefcase and showed himself out of the house. Angela stood on the inside of the doorframe and looked out at the three of them.
"Elena, Stefan would you please come in?" She asked with a smile.
"We would be honored." Both of them walked in together, snickering.
"Oh come on..." Damon whined.
"Oh knock it off, Damon. You can come in too."
"Nope! Sorry! Can't stay! Text me the time that the party will start, Stefan!" He turned around with a smirk and headed towards his house.
Angela had been defeated. He had already been invited in.
"So...What do you say we go upstairs and look at dresses?" Elena hooked their arms together.
"Let's go!" Angela and Elena raced up the stairs with Stefan walking behind them. Women. He thought to himself.
"Well! Brother, how did you do? Did you invite Elena and the Salvatores?" Klaus was sitting on the couch, reading until Elijah walked in the door.
"Yes. I also invited Angela." He stood in his fresh clean clothes, his usual shiney shoes, dress pants with creases as sharp as a knife with a white button up shirt. No tie this time.
"Wonderful! Is she a beauty?"
"Very much so." He thought back to Angela...his Angela..Well not yet she isn't. "Tell me, Niklaus, you don't have any hard feelings towards the Salvatore brothers?" He asked.
"Naaah! I should be thanking them. In fact, I believe I will tonight. I already hired waitresses and cooks for tonight."
"Why are you involved with this man, Niklaus?"
"I want to help him, brother! What's life without a little excitement!" Klaus was..chipper.
Elijah left it at that. "I understand." Elijah looked down to the pocket in his jacket. He had bought Angela a necklace. He wanted to finally ask her to be his girlfriend. If he knows her, she would just laugh and say that technically, they were already. Still, he wanted it to be perfect and official.
"Well, I believe I'll check the progress of our preparations. See you tonight, brother." Klaus walked passed Elijah. And Elijah could only stare and think.
A/N: Hope ya'll are excited for the next one. Sleepy time.
