A/N: A Special welcome and thanks goes out to ThePhantomismyLove for recently reviewing and following The Wayward Salvatore. Also welcome to Limavaa. for recently following the story. There is a picture of how Sam looked at the Mikaelson's Ball on my page.
Also a little side note a Deva and an Elemental are actual myths that I have decided to incorporate into the The wayward Salvatore though in my story their not exactly in the same concept as the myths as I'm using them as a way to explain a very special kind of witch. But if u want to look them up there will be a link on my page. Also I swear it will all make sense as the story goes on. So just bare with me please.
Sam's POV
As I slowly proceed up the drive way with the bottom of my gown ever so slightly hoisted from up off the ground. I couldn't help but wonder if I was doing the right thing, coming here to the Mikaelson's coming out ball. I mean after all my grandmother did stress to me the importance of leaving all this magic witch business alone. She said it would bring nothing but trouble and that I'd not only be putting myself in danger, but my friends as well. So then why am I so willing to let Elijah's mother remove the seal on my powers? Which I'm guessing my mother had a pretty go reason for putting on in the first place.
Stopping just a few feet shy of the door I quickly turned around and began making my way back down the driveway. Only too then find myself thinking about Elijah and how great he looked earlier today. With his new haircut that I just loved and so want to run my fingers through. And then of course there's his soulful hazel brown eyes, his well toned physique, and last but not least how fine that man looks in a suite. And so now with that new train of thought guiding my actions I quickly turned around and headed back towards the Mikaelson Mansion.
Now at the door I took a deep breath and patiently waited as the doormen granted me access. Hoping to high heaven that I wouldn't once again wind up changing my mind, and so as those huge double doors sprang open I slowly and calmly exhaled. As I took the time to find the courage and conviction I needed to venture forth into the lion's den. Upon entering the home of my sworn enemy I was finally able to let the bottom of my dress drape down my legs and onto the floor as I had finally arrived.
Kol's POV
As I continued to mingle with the painfully oblivious and naive patrons of Mystic Falls. I quickly found myself growing quite bored and uninterested with the people at this party. There was no challenge or excitement among these common folk. Without even having to actually try I was already able to secure myself a dalliance later tonight with half of the women here. Not that I would actually go through it, but it did bring about bit of amusement as I attempted to see just how many wives I could lure to me bed. But like most of my conquests this one didn't hold my attention for very long.
I needed something that would provide a thrill, and keep me entertained for more than just a few minutes. And not to long after that thought crossed my mind did I over hear a few chaps talking in great detail about a pretty young thing that had apparently caught their attention. Their conversation was anything but appropriate or dignified which is why they were huddled over in a corner whispering about it like a couple of housewives having mid day tea. And had it not been for my vampire hearing I would not have known what it was they were saying. Though I figured that this new comer would be exactly like all the other women of this town, I had to admit that I was still a bit curious as to whom this young lady was that had the common men a buzz with lust. So allowing my curiosity to get the better of me I decided to go check out the greatly desired patron for myself.
As I walked pass the staircase I was immediately blown away by what I saw. Seeing as there standing at the entrance of the foyer was a hot pretty young thing that I hadn't seen in ages. And at that moment I couldn't help but grin as the night had instantly become far more promising.
Sam's POV
Standing at the entrance of the foyer I desperately gazed upon the patrons in hopes of finding Elijah somewhere among them. With my nerves still a little shaky due to me worrying on whether or not I was making a big mistake accepting help for the original witch, added with the fact that I was dolled up, wearing heels, and in a dress. I couldn't help but fidget with my fingers as it was the only thing helping me to keep my nerves at bay.
Realizing that I couldn't just stand in the entryway all night I slowly began to proceed further into the foyer when out of the blue a very young and extremely handsome man approached me. This man had brown hair and even darker brown eyes. He stood about six one for what I could tell and oddly enough for whatever the reason this handsome fellow reminded a lot of Elijah. If Elijah of course was between the ages of I'd say twenty to twenty two, as that's how old this strapping young fellow looked to be.
"Well, well long time no see darling. I have to say though I'm quite shocked to see you here, after our last meet I didn't think you cared for me to much. But I guess if you're willing to let bygones be bygones I can do the same. Though I am quite interested in how you were able to locate me so quickly. " stated the sexy young hunk with a smile that could melt girls hearts.
Completely taken back by the man's informality it took me a minute or two regain composure.
"Umm I'm sorry, but I think you have me confused with someone else." I responded.
"Playing hard to get I like it, but seriously after all the things we've done to one another I think it's safe to say that we're beyond all the formal normality's. Don't you agree?" asked the unknown man before then taking my right hand into his own and kissing it.
The moment the man's lips touched my skin the smile that he'd been showcasing from the time we made eye contact immediately vanished and was replaced by a look of confusion. With his eyes now peering deeply into mine the unknown man slowly begins to lower my hand and as he does he says, "You're human." almost as though astonished by the fact.
"And obviously you're not." I responded with a quick retraction of my right hand, as it became obvious to me that the man standing before me was not human, but a vampire. And for whatever reason, he assumed I was as well.
Now before either of us had time to react towards our own startling revelations but the other, a familiar voice suddenly caught my attention.
"Samantha." said Elijah as he came up from behind the unknown man. "Samantha I'm so glad you could make it." Added Elijah before then turning to the unknown man. "Kol, if you'll excuse us."
And so without actually waiting for Kol's response Elijah then extended his right hand out to me which I quickly grabbed a hold of. Then just like that Elijah escorted me farther into the party. Now that we were a good ways away from Kol I decided to take one last good look at the now revealed vampire, and as I did my gaze was instantly met by Kol's ever watchful stare. Seeing as he seemingly hadn't taken his eyes off me this entire time. Snapping my head back around I then peered up at Elijah.
"So how do you know that guy?" I asked
"You mean Kol?" asked Elijah
"Yeah him" I responded
"He is my brother and the youngest of the male originals." explained Elijah before finally coming to a stop not to far from the grand staircase.
Now stationary Elijah and my eyes finally meet and were instantly locked in a meaningful heartfelt gaze. Now as I peered deeply into the eyes of the well mannered Original I couldn't stop myself from fantasying about what it would be like to share a kiss with noble Elijah.
"You look absolutely stunning in that dress Samantha." Complimented Elijah
"Why thank you. I have to admit I was feeling a bit weird and outplace in this dress." I lightly chuckled back
"Don't be." Smiled Elijah as he lightly grabbed a hold of both my hands, in his attempt to stop me from nervously fidgeting with my fingers.
Following this lovely gesture I noticed Elijah look at his watch before then turning his attention back to me. "Samantha if you would excuse me, I promise I'll be right back." Assured Elijah before then taking his leave.
Now alone I watched as Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, Klaus and one other person all conjoined on the grand staircase, and from there Elijah addressed the entire party with a toast. During the toast a blonde woman in a black dress began to make her decent half way down the stairs where she stood at Kol's side just prior to being introduced as the mother of the Mikaelson children.
"Bingo." I whispered to myself before then being caught off guard by none other than my once favorite uncle Stefan Salvatore.
"What are you doing here Sam?" asked the youngest male Salvatore as he suddenly appeared beside me.
Following my instinctual flinch I let out a relieved sigh before then glancing over at the male Salvatore.
"Not sneaking up on people for one thing." I quickly defended. "Plus, I was invited." I boasted.
"You shouldn't be here. Or did you forget that just not to long you were being held prisoner here?" baited Stefan
"Oh trust me I remember, and if memory serves it was me that took down Klaus and the pesky hybrids." I bragged. "So do me a favor and go pine over your precious Elena." I finished while simultaneously pointing to both Elena and Damon.
After pointing out to Stefan, Damon and Elena who for all intensive purpose seemed pretty cozy with one other, I quickly made a break for it. As I couldn't handle dealing with the overly protective douche bag version of Stefan. Now free from Stefan I instinctually began making my way over to the grand staircase when Elijah suddenly appears in front of me. And following a little back and forth between me and the well dressed original, he then took me by the hand and led me on to the ballroom floor. Where he and I along with a few others began doing a century's old waltz to the song Give me Love by Ed Sheeran.
Though reluctant at first I have to say dancing with Elijah made me feel like a real life princess. I mean here I was in my mother's favorite dress at a ball dancing with a man who couldn't have been any more perfect if I dreamt him up myself. Though I mean clearly I wouldn't have dreamt him up as a vampire, but then again who am I to judge. I mean I'm the farthest thing from a princess, in looks and attitude. But you know what none of that mattered, because as I danced with my version of prince charming. I could swear it felt like I was flying, so much so that I wished this moment would never end. Talk about a sweet dream and a beautiful nightmare.
"So Samantha, what made you decided to come tonight." Asked the charming original.
"Let's just say I realized how crazy I'd be to pass up an opportunity like this one." I smiled coyly.
"And what opportunity would that be exactly?" asked Elijah, but before I could respond we suddenly switched partners. And much to my dismay I now found myself in arms of Niklaus Mikaelson. Well there goes my hot fantasy.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me." I blew off with an eye roll.
"Well if it isn't my favorite Demeter witch." Smirked Klaus "I must say you clean up rather well little Salvatore." Taunted Klaus
"I would say the same about you but then I'd be lying." I rebutted
"And there's that candor that's so well known among the Demeter women." Baited and overly amused Klaus
Growing rather tiresome of the constant quip exchanged between me and the original hybrid I attempt to put an end to our back and forth.
"You know what we might have to dance together for a little while, but that doesn't mean we need to talk to each other. So how about you keep your thoughts to yourself and I'll refrain from making witty comebacks." I offered
"You don't want to talk, well that's fine with me love. Then you can just listen as I clear up a few things. Like for starters don't think my lack of retaliation on you and the Salvatore boys mean that I've forgotten about our little mishap a few weeks ago. You see I've been rather busy, but the fact still remains. I'm in need of a new witch and you're it. Now whether you decide to just accept it or fight me on it I can assure you that the end result will be the same. You working for me, so if I were you and I cared about my loved ones I'd do as I say from here on out, witch." Explained Klaus with a smug grin plastered all over his face.
"Don't you even dare think about hurting my friends Klaus." I stated as I now peered into the eyes of the hybrid.
"Oh I won't so long as you mind your manners." Pointed out Klaus
Unable to take anymore more of this I suddenly and immediately pull myself from out of Klaus's grip and made a hastily retreat out the ballroom, stopping only when I had made it to the foyer. Now in the foyer I could feel myself just wanting to cry, but not because I was sad but because I was mad as hell. I was just so sick and tired of being bossed around and threatened on a weekly basis, and as a human it's not like there's much I can do in terms of fighting back. And it was at that precise moment that I decided to hell with my grandmother's warnings. Me and my friends were in grave danger now, and if having access to my powers grants me the strength I need to finally be able to fight back then I wanted access to my powers, now.
Just then I felt a strong and firm hand rest gently on my back just seconds before Elijah came around and positioned himself directly in front me.
"Samantha I deeply and sincerely apologize for Niklaus's behavior. You have my word that I will not allow Niklaus to hurt you or anyone you care about. Now are you alright?" asked an overly concerned Elijah.
I could hear it in his voice just how genuinely worried and concerned the kind Original was for me. And I have to say it felt good to know that he cared for me, even if it was only platonic.
"It's alright Elijah you don't have to apologize for him. Your brother's just an ass, and one I hoped to avoid tonight. But I guess fate had other plans in store for me." I lightly joked
"Yes well I guess so." Smiled Elijah, which was then followed by an awkward silence. "Samantha I hate to ask this after what you just went through with Niklaus, but is it true?" asked a somewhat hesitant Elijah.
"You mean if I'm a witch, cause then the answer is yes." I replied somewhat nervously
"Yes but you're not just any witch, a Demeter witch."
"That I am." I answered accompanied with a stress filled sigh.
0~o~0
After a little freshen up I quickly returned to the party only to then see Stefan running clear out the front door with Elijah, Finn, Klaus, Rebekah, and Elena not too far behind. Seeing this I quickly hoisted up my dress and prepared to take pursuit when out of the clear blue I heard my name being called.
Turning around I spot Esther, the original witch positioned halfway up the staircase. And so with a very subtle head nod Ester gestured for me to follow her as she began to make her ascent up the stairs. Glancing back at the front door I quickly pondered on whether or not I should follow the witch or go see what took place outside. But as usual my personal goals outweighed my curiosity. So without much hesitation I changed directions and began making my way up the stairs.
As I followed the recently resurrected witch up the stairs and down a hallway our cat and mouse chase finally ended as we both entered into what I could only assume was her studies.
"Close the door please." Instructed Esther
Doing as I was told I quickly closed the door behind me before then venturing further into the witch's lair.
"No need to be frightened Sam. As a fellow witch I wish you no harm." Assured the original witch as it was pretty obvious by my movements and facial expression that I was kind of fearful of the original witch. I mean after all she was a Mikaelson even if it was only by marriage.
"Would you like a seat?" asked Esther as she gestured to the couch with her hand.
"No I think I'll stand." I answered as I slowly drew nearer to the Mikaelson witch.
Following what seemed to be a happy sigh Ester suddenly began to smile at me.
"I must say Samantha; it is quite an honor to meet you." Said Esther genuinely
"Really, and here I thought the honor was all mine" I rebutted
"That's very sweet of you to say, but compared to a living breathing Demeter I'm not very big news." Stated Esther
"And why is that? I mean everyone seems to be making a pretty big deal about me being a Demeter? What's so special about a Demeter witch anyway?" I asked as those questions had been on my mind for some time now.
"Well there are two reasons the Demeter's are held in such high esteem. One is that the Demeter witches are one of if not the only bloodline of witches whose ancestry can be traced back all the way to the first generation of witches." Explained Esther with great enthusiasm.
"The first generation of witches, is there a big difference between them and the witches now?" I asked I was now a bit confused by the importance of something so mundane.
"The first generation of witches young Samantha are said to be the strongest witches to have ever walked this earth. It is stated that the first generation of witches were not just simply connected to nature like we are, but instead was a living breathing extension of it. So instead of being its servants they were its children. This little Demeter granted them access to powers that transcends the normal abilities of any single witch today. As their powers and magic were completely tied to nature, which is why they didn't have telekinesis, they couldn't see into the future, and pain infliction was not an ability known to these witches" Pointed out Esther
"Ok well I guess that makes sense, so then what was the second reason for the Demeter's being held in such high regards?"
"Witches like you Samantha are the second reason the Demeter's are held in such high regards when it comes to the witch community." Declared Esther
"What do you mean witches like me? Witches who've had their powers sealed by their mothers? I asked sarcastically
"No Samantha." Chuckled Ester before then continuing. "I'm referring to witches classified as Devas. Which little Demeter is what you are."
"I'm a what!?" I rang out in both shock and confusion, as I was now completely and utterly lost.
