"Elijah" I said shocked. I could only hope this was Damon doing. i didn't think would be equipped with anything he would need from me.
"Miss Bennett, may we have a word?." he asked with a slight smile.
"Sure, but outside. My cousin has a 'no vampire' rule." I told him, getting my jacket. As I walked out, Elijah gestured for me to lead the way.
"So, what can I do for you?" I asked, unsure of what to say.
"For starters, you can join my brother, the Salvatores and I for dinner. "
" A dinner party? " Don't we have fun at dinner parties, I thought sarcastically.
"Yes, my brother believes some terms need to be made before he would think to leave this town in one piece." Elijah said in a strikingly calm voice.
" If you mean Elena, then I won't be able to help. There's no way I'm letting him take her." I shot back.
"Yes, which is why Damon and I have a plan to distract Niklaus with this dinner until find out what's in the last coffin." he agreed.
"So what do you need me for,I'm most certainly more than just a pretty face" I asked, gaining an amused smile.
"Does the name Tatiana mean anything to you? " Elijah asked and I stop in my tracks baffled, then again the originals are over a thousand years old, why should I be surprised? My shocked expression confirmed his question.
"Klaus and I became aware of her in the 1400s after she saved our youngest brother Kol from our father's clutches. " He offered and I could only Imagine Kol was the brother I saw in the coffin. Of course there's a connection.
"She reached out to my mother. We only talked for a little while, I didn't get to know her that well." I answered honestly.
"I know what kind of power she has."
"What do you mean?"
"She has plans for you. It's something Klaus and I have known for a very long time." I took A Moment To Take In What Was Just Told To me. Then realizing Katherine was right they did know something I didn't. Which is way he always made sure I was out of the way but in his sights. Now I was playing a different game.
"So what do you need me for " I Asked.
" The Salvatores are hoping to distract my brother tonight but I don't think it's going to hold ,but you on the other hand may be able to ."
"Like what ?"
" A spell, Klaus needs to believe you're creating a spell to sever the link between Elena and creating new hybrids "He told me simply. Could I really be able to do something like that.
" Do you think I could actually do something like that ,because he would have to believe it himself"
"Well if Tatiana can make a spell in order to continue her kind and after from what I seen you're just as powerful " he said full of conviction.
" Okay I guess I better get ready "
" 8 o'clock sharp" he said then disappeared.
My phone rang as I got ready to meet bonnie and abby in the caves . Elena name popped up on the screen. I quickly answered putting her on speaker phone.
" Hey everything go okay a the hospital "
" Not quite " she answered solemnly.
"What's wrong. " I Asked confused.
" Dr fell gave Mr Forbes vampire blood and before he could leave someone killed him. "
"WHAT!WHY?"
" Have no idea it's connected to the recent murders. But that's not the worst part. "
" What could be worse " I asked shocked.
" Mr Forbes won't drink blood ,he doesn't want to transition. "
" But .. poor care " was the only thing that came out.
"l know she's taking him home and going to talk to alaric so we can figure out what's going on . Then I will check on her later." she told me.
" Okey I will stop by after I handle few things "
" Handle a few things. Like what ?" she asked but I decided she didn't need to know about my plans tonight.
" Something Ms Lockwood needs me to do." I quickly lied not really worried if she believed me.
" okay call me if you get to care's."
" okay "
I stood in the mirror fixing my black lace sweetheart dress with one thought. How nervous I am. This wasn't convincing grams I won't say out too late. I had to convince Klaus I was giving him all the hybrids a wanted without needing elena blood . But no pressure.
" You are Evelyn Marie Bennett . You can do this " I stated dramatically finishing my hair. Once was done I made my way to the mikaelsons.
I parked my car behind Damon's convertible and stepping out quickly. I took in the cool air and walked the the door. I knocked twice knowing the vampires would already be aware of my presence.
" Evelyn I'm glad you made it and beautiful as always " Elijah said as he invited me in, then an obviously compelled tall blonde offered me a drink. I happily accepted.
"Well I can only imagine since you're here Evelyn is because my brother Elijah told you my little secret." Klaus added as he and i walked towards the dining room.
I quickly noticed Damon's reaction a upon seeing me it wasn't good. Especially since he was inches from my face in seconds. So I prepared myself for whatever bull was about to come out of his mouth.
" I don't know what you cooked up and don't want to know but you're not staying. " he voiced being his normal annoying self.
" You don't have a say on whether I stay or not ,so get over it or just be miserable the rest of the dinner. " I answered getting and impressed looks from the mikaelsons then moving to the with everyone behind but Stefan who was still sitting at the the with his normal self loathing face.
" Wonderful, now everyone I can't stand is at this table " Stefan reacted.
" Shove it"
" Shove what ? Where exactly " he quickly countered.
" Dinner is served please sit" Elijah interrupted probably for the best.
I sat down at a round table between Klaus and damon. The good thing was the actual food sitting in front of me and probably the endless drinks that will get me through the night. The room was tense and I had to avoid the annoying stares from Damon. But if Elijah was right I had to to at least try.
"So Evelyn please share with the group why exactly why you need to be here" Damon ask forcefully. A rude but we'll deserved comment was going to come out of my mouth but I was stopped.
"I believe that's my fault,I ask ms Bennett to join us ,their answers to questions she has that we can help with" Elijah answered simply.
" About what? What's so secret about little extra magic " Damon asked nonchalantly and Klaus triumphant smile grew and I could feel a headache coming.
"There's Nothing little about Evelyn magic at all ,she's an magnificent creature. " Damon gave a harsh look after Klaus spoke.I figured I had to explain.
" Damon I haven't told you everything because I haven't gotten it all yet myself "I spoke honestly. " everything going that's been going on with me is because I'm a fairy my magic is different than others and I'm kinda immortal " Damon has if I had just grown an extra nose while the mikaelsons remained calm. "This wasn't how I wanted to tell you"
" And I thought my night couldn't get any better " Stefan laughed so I used my magic to throw a fork at his throat but he caught it in time.
"cool it ,Stefan " Damon reacted
"You lost your appetite." Klaus commented as Stefan played with his food.
" Eat. I thought we agreed that we would leave the grumpy Stefan at home."
" That's the spirit. Isn't it nice? Five of us dining together? Such a treat. Is this what you had in mind when you pulled the dagger from my brother?"Klaus asked spitefully.
"Well, I know how he felt about you, so I figured the more, the merrier."Damon answered as took another bit of food.
"Well, Elijah and I have had our share of quarrels over the century. But we always make it through."Klaus added.
"Kind of like you and Rebekah, right? Where is she, by the way? Last I checked she was still daggered because you were afraid to face her."
" If you're referring to the fact that Rebekah knows I killed our mother, I've already come clean to Elijah." Klaus admitted
"Hey, Stef, remember when you killed dad? Might want to dial down the judgment until dessert."
"We're here to make a deal, Damon. Doesn't mean we need to kiss his ass for seven courses."
"Not but some of us would like to enjoy or dinner " I piped up
" I'm just saying we have a long evening ahead of us. Pace yourself."
" Stefan. Where is the lovely Elena tonight?" Elijah asked unknowingly as I choke slightly on my drink.
"I don't know. Ask Damon."Stefan reacted causing Klaus to laugh slightly.
"I'm sorry, you've missed so much. Uh- trouble in paradise."Klaus poked
"One more word about Elena and this dinner is over. "
" You know what, probably best just to keep Elena in the do not discuss pile."
"You're probably right."
"Yeah."
"It's just the allure of the Petrova doppelgänger, still so strong. What do you say, brother? Should we tell them about Tatia?"
"
"Who's that " I Asked.
"Now why should we discuss matters long since resolved?"
"Well, given their shared affection for both Elena and Katerina, I think our guests might be curious to learn about the originator of the Petrova line."
" Everybody shared Katherine " I said under my breath then stuffed a piece of bread in my mouth.
"Great another doppelganger, lovely" I said to hide my embarrassment.
"Well, we're not going anywhere Elijah. Please, do tell."Damon changed the subject.
" When our family first settled here, there was a girl named Tatia, she was an exquisite beauty. Every boy of age desired to be her suitor, even though she'd had a child by another man. And none loved her more than Niklaus."
"I'd say there was one who loved her at least as much."
"Wait a minute, so you both loved the same girl?" Stefan finally seemed interested.
" Our mother was a very powerful witch. She sought to end our feud over Tatia and so she took her. Klaus and I would later learn that it was Tatia's blood that we consumed in the wine on the night where our mother performed the spell which turned us into vampires. Tatia wouldn't make a decision between the two of us, so for a time Niklaus and I... grew estranged. Harsh words were traded, we even came to blows, didn't we, brother?"
"But in the end we realized the sacred bond of family.?"
"Family above all." Elijah raises his glass.
" Family above all." Klaus repeated. I knew the small would end soon and when it did I had to be ready.
"before we get started with demands and counter offers ,I want to know why evie brought into this " Damon demanded. I was also curious of the Tatiana and mikaelsons back story.
" let me explain since Klaus can't help but embellish sometime "Elijah started. " it was the mid 1400s my youngest brother was traveling France alone. He was attacked by a coven of witches helping my father mikael to end us. But Tatiana saved him and treated whatever afflictions."
" he spent some time with with her before bringing her to us. At first I didn't trust her much but other brother gave us reason to believe we could we came good friends a trusted ally. She was beautiful inside and out"
" what made you believe you could trust her" I Asked with a strange curiosity.
Klaus stared me down in a ' I'm about to drop a bomb on everything you know look "well my brother never trust anyone especially not loving her the way he did."
" What's is ! Who's Tatiana and what does it have to do with Evelyn! " Damon yelled jumping out of his seat and I turned to answer the question.
" because I'm her doppelgänger she made me the mirror image of her so fae magic wouldn't die out" I answered while damon came out of his disbelief " I'm exactly like her."
" What you think if your brother gets undaggered he as some claim on her, it's not gonna happen. "Damon told them sitting down and I came to the very real conclusion that the scenario was very possible.
"How about we move on to what everyone else is here for." I changed the subject.
"So, why don't we move this evening along and discuss the terms of this proposal?"
" That's very simple. Klaus gets his coffin back, in exchange, he and the Original extended family leave Mystic Falls forever. Me, Stefan, and Elena live happily ever after. No grudges." Damon answered in a somewhat calm tone.
" The deal sounds fair, brother."
" I don't think you understand, Elena's doppelgänger blood insures that I will always have more hybrids to fight those that oppose me. I will never leave her behind." Klaus gets up and starts to pace.
"Let's say I do leave her here, under your protection, what then? How long before one of you turns her into a vampire? Or worse, how long before she dies caught between your feuding? You see, each one of you truly believes that you're the one that can protect her, and that is simply a delusion. Gentlemen, the worst thing for Elena Gilbert is... the two of you." Klaus continued with a somewhat valid point
"I'm gonna get some air." Damon announces and walks off and Elijah follows.
"I'm going to the bathroom i will be right back "
My break to the bathroom was short lived when bonnie and abby didn't pick up their phone.I could also tell by the distant voices things were getting tense and it was my time to put my cards on the table.
" Consider it a small return on my investment in her well-being. See, after you hand me back the coffin, I'll ensure her safety for the rest of her natural life. You know it's what's best for her."klaus gets up and walks towards Stefan as I walked in.
"So, what do you say Stefan, hmm? Do we have a deal?." he asked as Stefan starts walking over to Klaus.
"Now one has heard my offer yet" I stated getting everyone's attention.
"What are you doing?"Damon ask confused.
" Finally someone has something real to offer please tell me"
"I can give you hybrids without you ever having to worry about Elena again. "
"That's impossible , you can't evie " Damon noted.
" It's definitely something to think about, how would you do that?"
"de-link Elena's blood from the spell and use the full moon to be able to use any one's blood " I told him with all the confidence I could muster.
" And why would you give me that kind of power "
" To save elena and to people in this town." I answered staying calm.
" If I didn't think it was a trick I would take that offer so Stefan will you and your brother leave this town.
"Nice try, Klaus. But no deal."Klaus breaks Stefan's arm. He kicks his leg and breaks it as well. He pushes Stefan's hand into the fireplace, and it starts to burn. Damon attempts to rush over to him, but Elijah intercepts him and pushes him against a wall.
"What are you doing?" damon asked Elijah while Klaus continues to hold Stefan's arm in the fire.
" Klaus, don't" I yelled seeing him burn Stefan.
"Stop!"
"Now, bring me my coffin before I burn him alive."Klaus threatened.
"I'll get it."
"Go with him, brother. You keep him honest. And when you return, I will make good on my promise to you and I will hand over our family."
"stay here Evelyn , no funny business. "
"Elijah...why haven't you left?"Klaus asked surprised.
"Where are you manners, brother? We forgot dessert."Elijah takes the cover off the tray the blonde woman is carrying. Two silver daggers lie on it.
I cursed in my head knowing this was going to end well.
" What have you done?"
"What have you done? You see, I've learned not to trust your vulgar promises, Klaus. We're doing this on my terms now." the original who show up first was one I once saw in the coffin and once eyes connected I felt rushed emotions I couldn't explain but he was still an original. I'm also not stupid.
"Kol." Klaus shouted confirming my suspension.
" Long time, brother."
"Finn, don't!"klaus rushes away, but runs into Rebekah. Wow she just woke up from being daggered and she still looks great.
"Rebekah!"She stabs him with a dagger.
" This is for our mother."She pulls the dagger out and Klaus falls back into Kol's arms. Kol restrains him. Elijah looks at Damon and Stefan.
" You're free to go. This is family business." Elijah tells us. I hesitate leaving but in a sec I fell a major rush and the force of the cold hit me as I noticed I'm outside.
" what the hell I wasn't ready to leave "
" listen to me I'm pissed you didn't tell me everything about what going on with but I'll be damned if you put yourself in danger for some original you don't know so you are gonna go home lock your doors and stay and wait for bonnie ." Damon demanded but only because I was done for the day. My bed was calling.
"irresponsible "
"dangerous "
"ridiculous "
" have I said impossible yet" Damon ask elena.
" Yes twice ready " I answered sarcastically as I was being told off by Damon and Elena.
" It's just crazy what we're you thinking " elena asked.
" Elijah brought it to my attention to lie to Klaus get bonnie more time but the more I thought about it I may actually be able to do this ." I said out loud.
"You would just be giving Klaus more power" she said get up once Stefan walked in.
" Do you really think I'm that stupid, I of course I would link the spell to some celestial event that only happens every ten years or something. Stefan don't you agree?".I'm sure he wants elena safe.
" Actually I want Klaus dead I don't care about anything else. " Stefan commented and Elena seemed pretty offended by his words.
" It was their mother Esther who was sealed in that coffin."elena asked changing the subject . Also the reminder that Tatiana told me not to trust Michael & Esther.
"As in the Original Witch?"
"What? How is she even alive? Thought her hybrid freak show of a son ripped her heart out a thousand years ago."
" I don't know. I'm guessing she has a couple connections in the witching community. Elijah said that she wants to live in peace with her family, including Klaus."
"She was supposed to be the weapon to help us kill Klaus."
" Well, not anymore...at least not according to Elijah."
" That coffin was the only thing stopping Klaus from tearing us to shreds."
"Anyone else feeling a little used right now?"
" Look, Elijah promised me that his family wouldn't hurt any of us."
" honestly I think you guys should just stay away from originals, ALL of them." I told them getting up to leave after getting a text from a certain blonde original. I have a few Words for her.
"Where are you going " elena asked.
" home I have to do a few things" she nodded as I lied but meeting Rebekah was the last thing I needed to admit.
A man open the mansion doors. as I walked in it seemed to bring in deep preparation like when miss Lockwood has a big party. What hell is going on.
I walked to the room with where the distant voices . "Niklaus, come " I heard a woman's voice and Klaus leaving the room. Not scary but definitely intimidating thing happened next all the originals in the room turned their focus to me and I may have stopped breathing for a moment.
" Evelyn Bennett, these are my brothers Finn and kol." she introduced simply as she pointed them out. Finn obviously the oldest.
"It's nice to meet you" kol was standing by the mirror then in front of me in a second. Which force me to yelp.
" It lovely to finally meet you, Rebekah told me about you."
" That because you harassed me all night" Rebekah quickly retorted as I hide my giggle.
" So what's going on " I asked awkwardly.
"Where have having a ball." Elijah answered
" A ball?"
"Yes it going to be huge!" Rebekah said excitedly.
" Speaking of , I would love for you to be my date ? " kol asked still very close to me.
" Yeah ok sounds like fun ". I answered a little to scared to say anything else, also how else could live out my cinderella fantasy.
"Wonderful " Kol said smiling and Rebekah jump up" good come with me " she linked my arm with hers.
Rebekah parked are the grill to my surprise. I figured we were going shoe shopping. Walked promptly behind her as I noticed her path led up to a certain friend of mine but she changed course to caroline and Elena at the table and I knew it was not going to end well.
" Carefull caroline it all fun and games until late she stabs you in the back" Rebekah spat as I hid unsuccessfully.
" I know you're mother's rules no harassing the locals. "
" I saw you walking in with her ,evie"
" I can't even believe you " elena answered before I could even say anything.
"Not everything is about you elena, you're not Evelyn only friends. "she said to them as we walked away.
"Matt!" She called gaining his attention. He turned around quickly and a lot more the just surprised.
" Rebekah and ….evie are you doing here ...together?." Matt questioned confused.
"My family is have a ball tonight and I wanted you to be my date."
"Um …. You want me to be your date.
"Come on it will be fun"
"Alright what time should I be there " Matt said as I elena and Caroline still glared at me.
" 8 o'clock sharp " she said sounding like her brother.
"Ow, Rebekah " as I flinched again .
"hold still, there just hair pins" she she after she insisted she do my hair.
" just one more. …. Ah perfect " a small side part of my hair was twisted and pinned while the rest was in wild curls " okay now put your dress on in my bathroom " she said excitedly.
The dress as Rebekah explain was had a Gothic Victorian. A dark purple bustier with a sheer black covering. As I put the dress on in heard Rebekah at her door. I could hear her tell kol I wasn't ready yet. I finished promptly but still a nervous.
" Eve my ass of a brother is gone you can come out" she said as I peek through the door.
I stepped out and Rebekah was looking through a jewelry box. " perfect all you need are pearls. " she said getting a good look at me. I'm definitely starting to feel like one of her dolls right now. I jumped slightly when she move to remove the one piece of jewelry I found myself wearing lately.
" what, these earrings don't go with that necklace " she sounded confused.
" It's kinda special " I answered and she didn't question it but was on a mission to find earrings that did. It was a simple gold heart locket that had " together someday " inscribed in it.
"These work well " she said handing them to me and I fix it has she sashayed to the door .
Chatter and movement filled my ears as I move closer to the Grand stairway. I Noticed everyone socializing especially the the originals but I really want to keep my eyes on esther. I had to find out if she was up to something.
"Ready to join the party, darling " kol said behind me invading my personal space for the second time today.
" Yes, " I answered turning around "of …. Course " I finished fumbling over my words kinda surprised but not really how great kol look . Looking around all the mikaelson brother's need to be on a GQ magazine .
He held out his arm and I linked mine with his . He led me down the long stairs " You look beautiful " he breathed effortlessly. I smiled " you clean up nicely you're self" .
His smile was shamelessly diabolical and had to make sure I didn't fall victim to it. The silence between us wasn't awkward at all if anything it was comforting. His height difference wasn't staggering but a bit overwhelming . In fact his glances were probably the most forward thing he had done.
The ballroom start to fill and the live music started over power the mini conversations in the room. As more people started to arrive in was increasingly worried about my annoying friends showing up. At least I did worry about it until I caught Damon grilling me from across the room.
" Kol do you mind getting me some champagne" I Asked.
" Of course I will be right back " and as soon as he turned the other way walking towards the drinks I turned back to the empty spot now being occupied by the Salvatore.
" Honestly I think you guys should just stay away from the originals, ALL of them " Damon mocking my words from earlier.
" Yes Damon, you guys. meaning you ,elena and stefan. Me on the other hand can protect myself. "
" Did you not hear what Klaus said about about him. He dangerous. " he whispered in a deep tone.
" You are being ridiculous first of all he has been nothing but a gentleman and second it's just a date ." I told him not quite sure it was the entire truth. " l don't need any protection I can take can of myself." with those words Damon stormed off into the crowd.
Not to long after kol showed up behind me with the drinks. "Here you go, is everything alright. " he asked with the slightest look of concern.
"No,I'm fine " I answered looking towards Damon and Carol.
"You know the mayor " kol asked looking in the same direction.
"Yeah, I'm best friends with her son" I wondered why he asked.
"Great I hadn't gotten a chance to introduce myself yet he said crossing the ballroom quickly with me in tow.
"Mayor Lockwood. We haven't formally met. Kol Mikaelson. I hope your lovely town embraces us just as much as we plan to embrace it."kol said as he kiss her hand while I tried to ignore Damon but he had other plans.
" Damon Salvatore. Have we met?" Damon announced.
" I've met a lot of people, And you don't particularly stand out. " answering Damon harshly . I could only Imagine he might have heard Damon moments ago. " excuse me darling but my brother needs me. " he said abruptly leaving towards the stairs.
" Well he's a charmer should I be making sure you get home safely home , alone" Carol asked not shocking at all she always had moments when she was another mom rather than just a friend of the family.
" No I'm probably gonna go home with matt" I told her finally noticing Damon had walk off to talk to elena who must have just arrived.
" Okay but if not come find me."
" Okay I got it ." I answered as Elijah was still speaking to kol.
I glance around quickly bored with myself but I noticed my blonde best friend walking away from Klaus. So I walked over to the bar where she sat.
""Hey care, I didn't think you would come " I Asked .
"I had nothing else better to do, you turn coat" caroline retorted as I was surprised in my friend.
"Awe and alaric thinks you don't pay attention in class." I said back with an amused tone.
" Don't mock me,I'm mad at you "
" Come on, I'm not replacing you with Rebekah she harmless as long as you don't stab her In the back. " I joked but apparently it wasn't appreciated.
" Not funny. " she said seriously.
"Fine but you need to forgive me because who's going to finish watching pretty little liars " I told her as she rolled her eyes.
"And it off subject but who are you here with."
"Um …. Elijah brother " I answered my friend.
"What! Where " she asked excitedly with mixed emotions as I pointed him out.
" Oh boy I'm definitely giving you a ride home later." her words mirrors carols which bother me a bit."
" I'm not going bed with him give me a little more credit than that."
"What? he looks like he could charm the panties off anyone."Caroline was famous for her word vomit I thought as I covered my face from embarrassment.
"You can't help yourself can you? " I really tried not to laugh.
"Not really " she said me as i came in for a hug I really missed my best friend. We talked bit longer and I noticed kol and his brothers were longer by the entrance but now gathering at the stairs with elijah calling for everyone attention.
"Welcome. Thank you for joining us. You know, whenever my mother brings our family together like this, it's tradition for us to commence the evening with a dance. Tonight's pick is a centuries-old waltz, so if all of you could please find yourselves a partner, please join us in the ballroom" Elijah spoke but my attention was on esters and why she wasn't joining the rest us.
" Caroline, may I have this dance?. " Klaus asked care as he showed up behind us.
"May I have the honor?" kol asked me soon after then leading me to the ballroom.
The dance began in a formation with the couple lined up behind Each other moving forward one step at a time. I Noticed elena dancing with Damon in front of us she glanced back . She was most likely disappointed but I ignored her judgment. We turned to face the other group of dancers only to walk towards them and switch sides. Kol spun me around making me feel light on my feet then rest one arm on my lower back holding me close. Carol may have convinced my grams to put in ballroom dance classes when I was younger but there was a reason caroline was the lead dancer at all the recitals.
" don't laugh I haven't done this in a while " I answered his amused expression.
" I would never darling, I'm more intrigued if anything. "
" by me,because I look like Tatiana " I Asked worrying about and answer that so obvious.
" Tonight has nothing to do with her. I wanted to get to know the girl I saw while I was daggered. " he voiced and I wondered if her mentioned that spark I felt when I saw him in the coffin.
" I figured it was something with my magic is still don't know everything about it." I immediately cursed myself for offering that information but it wasn't just word vomit it was something more.
" You will get the hang of it. Its there at the grasp of your fingers you just have to want it enough . " was all he said with an under handed tone before the dance partners we're switched again.
" Ms Bennett " Elijah greeted but I disapproved at his formal words " right Evelyn, you look wonderful tonight "
"Thank you you great too "
"Thank you , so tell me has my brother been a perfect gentlemen this evening. "
"Yes he has " I answered simply continuing the dance.
" Good because I told him if he wasn't I was going to rip out his lungs." Elijah said calmly which made my heart skip a beat mostly because he made good on his promises especially the violent ones.
"I could say I'm surprised but I'm not."
" My brother is known for making even the strongest weak and he doesn't play fair" Elijah expressed truthfully and I heard everybody of It. I would be lying if I said didn't feel anything but I don't feel like this was the time for any of that.
"I understand. " I answered as I glance around noticing most of my friends were no longer dancing. " but I do have a question. "
"ask away "
" Your mother " I cleared my understanding realizing with I was about to ask him. " Do you really think she wants peace here with Klaus "
" Honestly I find myself asking the same question " he pondered" she wanted to meet with elena tonight and is being very secretive about . Why don't you?"
"Tatiana told me not to trust your parents the night I met her . I didn't even know who they were then." Elijah frowned at the news and the dance stopped. Little did Evelyn and Elijah know Finn was close by and listening intensively.
Elijah and I departed as he seems to be on a mission all on his own. I realized most of my friends were gone so I went to find kol. The fact that I couldn't find him right away made me a bit uneasy. Elijah may have him to be on his best be behavior with me it didn't stop the fact that he is a vampire. I eventually found him in the corner having a somewhat private conversation with Rebekah. So I quickly made my way other there.
" Hey what are you too talking about " I Asked causally.
" Nothing serious " Rebekah pointed out.
"Yes some minor chit-chat " kol added.
"Oh okay. "
"How about another dance,sweetheart "
"Sure " I answered catching the devious look the siblings gave each other.
The dancing was now less formal and easier to follow as kol looked to me.
"What " I Asked curiously.
" I was just wondering ,you dance I have been told you're smart and cunning,but makes you ,you? " he inquired but I was really stumped.
" I...I have no idea. I thought I was special. Unique in some way. Especially When i found out I have magic but when I saw Tatiana didn't know what made me my own person whatever spell she did. I'm just not sure anymore " I was always known for being honest but he brought something out of me. I was really sure if I wanted to know. Kol fought something in his mind then smirked.
" Well, all those answers well come in due time."kol said then looked up making eye contact with someone. " As much as I'm enjoying our time together I need elsewhere but promise me one more dance for this night ends."
I smiled at his tone of voice appreciating the men talked the last he had been daggered. " Sure I have check on bonnie away. I'll make you back here then?".
" Of course it shouldn't take that long" he said letting go of my hand and watch him disappeared into the crowd.
I made my way to the stairs to the bathrooms to call bonnie and freshen up abit. I walked the long hallway trying to find the bathroom. I found my way after following some girls so pulled out my phone.
" Finally you called me back "
" Yeah I figured you were calling to yell at me" I said leaning against the wall.
"Of course I was calling to yell at you, elena told me you were hanging out with Rebekah. Now you at party welcoming the entire family. "
"Bonnie chill ok. I'm a big girl can handle myself "
"listen abby's here, why don't come home and can rent a movie"she offered.
"Sorry but going to respectfully decline that offer " the last thing I want to do was sit in front of bonnie and abby talk about their issues.
" Fine just try not to come home too drunk "
"Okay bye don't wait up! I call into the phone."
After I cleaned up my hair fix my makeup I walked out the room into something rather someone but quickly felt a sharp pain in my arm. I feeling feeling dizzy I look up see what large hands were keeping from falling completely.
" Ms Bennett are okay " was the last thing I heard but Finn mikaelson was the last face in saw before the darkness.

" Come on wake up" someone was shaking me then I felt someone's wrist in my mouth and then a gross liquid. Someone was shoving blood down my throat. I woke up to Stefan kneeling over me as I laid in a love seat in the hallway trying to focus on what happen.
" Next time you wanna get passed out drunk ,don't "
" Who the fuck told you that"
" Finn mikaelson, he found you over here and came and got me " the lies people tell.
" I wasn't drunk , I walked out the bathroom after I talk to bonnie then I must have walked into him then woke up here."
" Yeah sure "
" listen I'm serious this has something to do with esther. I only had two glasses of champagne."
" That makes no sense she's trying to help us ." he answered but was greatly confused by the rebuttal since this morning he was thoroughly convinced esther was a dead end.
" what makes you say that?" Stefan was about the answer as we heard and huge commotion. Stefan immediately left and I followed after but I saw Matt fumbling in pain so I rushed to him.
"matt! What the hell are you ok" I yelled running over to him.
" I think ….. ah …..your date broke my hand " he answered me the best he could.
" What! kol where he is he ."
" Damon jumped him and they went over the balcony ." he said answering my question about the noise we heard.
" Gimme your hand I will help with the pain" I told him reaching for his hand but he jerked it away." Matt it a simple healing spell you won't wake up a vampire tomorrow ."
"I'm fine I'm just gonna wrap it up when I get home" Matt answered stubbornly.
" Fine, at least let me drive you home and wrap that for you, and get some alcohol".I walked with down the steps and from what I saw everyone was getting compelled after seeing Kol's body on the ground. Oh yeah we need more than just a few drinks.
