Lye didn't know that getting ready for a party, or "gathering" as Klaus put it, was this hard. Hair and make-up and dressing up and talking and more make-up, she didn't know how many pounds her face could hold, but every time Caroline laid eye on her she pot more powder, or more blusher, or more lipstick.

At some point she just wanted to sit and relax. At some point she sneaked away from the girls and sat in the bathroom for a little while.

She stood in front of the mirror and looked at her reflection. It was weird looking at the new her, she looked stunning. Long shiny brown hair, green eyes, framed with gunmetal and navy blue shadows and a winged eye liner. Perfect and smooth skin, light pink lipstick that made her lips looks bigger. Her dress was simple but elegant and complemented her body, it had a sweetheart bodice and sort of wide straps, and it went down in an A-line cut, it was flowy and soft and she loved it. She didn't wear a lot of jewelry; she chose a thin bracelet that Caroline told her to wear, and small earrings.

Bottom line she looked like a movie star, and she loved it. She couldn't wait to see the look on Klaus's face when he sees her.

"Light Jane Matthews, what the heck are you doing in there? You've been there forever. Girl if you have constipation and you sweat your ass out I will kill you, I spent hours on your hair and make-up, and we have 30 minutes before we have to go, so you better come out and you better look like you looked before you got in the toilet"

Laughing, Lye opened the door, "relax, I just needed a minute" she smiled brightly at the red faced Caroline. "now now, you're ruining your make up" her smile widen when Caroline growled. Stomping her way towards her room, Caroline looked funny, but Lye didn't dare to laugh, or even make sound, at this rate, she feared Caroline would have a heart attack.

True to her word, Caroline got them to the party on time, but she made the way to it a living hell. By the time she parked the car, Bonnie and Lye ran out of the car and in the building without waiting for stressed Caroline, which probably wasn't a good idea.

Once they were in, Caroline calmed down, and it was time to enjoy their time.

Caroline left to see if anything was going as planned, since she was part of the preparation team, and probably the leader from what she heard about Caroline party planning history. Bonnie left to talk to one of their friends, Stefen, she called him. Great, now she was left alone in a place where she barely knew anyone.

"ahh, and here I thought a sinner like me would never see an angel in his life time" she heard from behind her, she couldn't control the shiver that went down her spin. British accent, killer voice, yup Klaus found her, and she was dreading that moment.. Was she?

"and here I thought that flattery and sweet talking is beneath you, but everyone is wrong from time to time" she shot back, she didn't mean it to come out as rude as it did, but she just couldn't help mask her attractive ness to the wolf without lashing out at him.

"Feisty. I like it" he said, he then took a step towards her and she took a step back, "now, I thought we're friends, I was merely trying to ask you to make me the luckiest man in this room and dance with me" he said with his loop sided smile.

She have a better chance dancing with the devil and getting out alive than to dance with him. "I'm sure you can have any girl in this place, and on that account, you should go and find someone else" she took a step back "and leave me be" she saw the fury that flashed in his eyes, this was a man that didn't deal well with rejection, good! Serves him well.

After that she didn't see him, she walked around, she saw Liz, and she introduced her to couple of people, and she smiled and mangled and tried her best to make Caroline and Liz proud, but she was out of her mind if she thought that she can fit in here.

The minute she found the back door, she stepped out and breathed a sigh of relief. She loved the fresh night air, and it made her calm down and regroup her strength.

"you shouldn't be out here, Love" the voice startled her, she turned around so fast to see where was he, but her dress got caught under her heel and she slipped if it wasn't for the hands that broke her fall, she'd have a killer headache.

"you have to stop falling like that, Love" she opened her eyes, only to find him right in her face, she could feel his warm breath on her lips, and she licked her suddenly dry lips. He smelled devin, and it angered her, she shouldn't be charmed. She didn't know why, he didn't give her a reason to fear him like that, but he just had something that set her off the wrong way, and the right way too, if that was passable.

"and you need to stop coming out of nowhere, and startling me like that" she said as she stood back up and he took a step back.

"someone in your situation should start to learn how to say thank you every once in a while" he said taking a step back towards her

"And someone like you should stop stalking girls at night, if I wasn't open minded I'd say you're a serial killer" she said taking a step towards him, making her nose to nose with him if he wasn't taller than her.

"oh you should fear me like one, sweetheart" he growled and she gasped, she was about to turn around and run the hell out of here, but he grabbed her from her arms and pulled her back to him, and his lips were on hers, he gave her no time to think, to react, to push him, to do anything just surrender to his powerful approach, to the amount of passion that brought her to her knees if it wasn't for his hands holding her.

When he pulled away, after what seemed like forever, she was shaking, badly. She wrapped her arms around her and felt the burning sensation of tears, she wanted to move, but couldn't, it was as if she froze in her place. This was her first kiss.

"Light." He said but she shook her head, she didn't want to hear it, she didn't know what she wants or what she didn't want, but she just knew that whatever he was going to say she'll break down.

"Let me just give you my jacket, and find you a place to sit" he said, his voice was low, and she could hear the uncertainty in his voice. Somehow that made her at ease, thinking of someone like Klaus uncertain.

He took off his jacket, he walked towards her and then dropped the jacket over her slim shoulders, his hands lingered there for a minute before he moved it to rest on her back, "let's find a quiet place to sit and talk" he said as he led her away from the back of the house.

The walk wasn't long, and although it was quiet but it was comfortable, he kept his hand on her back. She looked at him once, and he had a frown on his face, he will ask about what happened, and she will have to explain.

The lake was beautiful at night, it shimmered and reflect the full moon. It was magical.

"lovely evening" Klaus said, breaking the silence. "but it's not as lovely as you" he said and sat next to her on the bench.

"thank you" she murmured

"will you tell me what happened back there?" he asked, he sat straight, looking at the lake, he didn't want to look at her and scare her, but he wanted to. He didn't know what was about Light that draws him, but he knew he shouldn't be close to her, he just couldn't help it.

She didn't know what to say, she didn't know him that well, and she definitely not going to have a heart to heart with someone everyone she cared about warned her not to come near him. "Nothing happened" she said finally, she didn't dare looking at him.

Silence stretched for a long few minutes, but then he stood up, and she thought he was going to leave, but he surprised her buy offering her his hand. "one day you will trust me, and tell me the close up story behind Light Matthews" he said as he yanked her up and draw her close to him, she looked up at him, her bright green eyes wide with both shock and amusement, "but tonight, I'm going to dance with you, and show you that I'm not as bad as people say I am" he smiled, and for some odd reason she smiled back.

They danced on the lake side, listening to the faint music coming from the house. He didn't speak, and neither. The lyrics of the song were so beautiful. She closed her eyes and let the smooth voice of Ron Pope carry her to another place.

This is simple, this is new,

That's why I'm not scared of you,

But you're afraid in ways that I can't comprehend.

I do not pretend to live beneath your soft blonde hair, inside your head,

Wrapped up in darkness,

Slow dancing with despair.

Klaus looked down at Lye, she laid her head on his chest as the moved to the smooth melody of the song. The lyrics described her perfectly, beautiful and lost, his darling Lye, she is his, and he will stop at nothing to get her to become his and he… for the first time, will become hers.

Time passed so fast. Klaus found himself enjoying every minute with his Light. She was witty, smart, funny, and she wasn't afraid to tell him exactly what she thought of him, and he found that bit refreshing.

"OMG! It's two in the morning" she stood up, looing worried, she pulled her phone out of her clutch to find 9 missed calls from Caroline, "God! She's going to kill me" she said as she pulled his jacket off her shoulder and gave it to him "I have to go" she said, and before she could take a step away from him, he stopped her.

"I'll walk you back home, it's not safe for you to wonder alone at this time" he said, she nodded.

He put his jacket back around her slender shoulders. He didn't realize it before, but she was a small creature. A divine and unbelievably beautiful creature.

The walk back to the Forbs wasn't long unfortunately, but he enjoyed it nonetheless.

"I believe I will see you tomorrow" he said as he walked her to the door.

"I don't think so" she said, "Caroline and Liz think I shouldn't come near you. I don't usually do what others tell me to do, but I really don't want to upset them, this is my home now, and I don't want to do anything that might get them mad at me"

He gave a short nod, "I understand" and he did, but that doesn't mean he'll stop seeing her.

She unlocked the door, and turned his way, and gave him a smile that done strange things to his brain, and his other brain.

"goodnight, Klaus"

"goodnight love, I'll see you tomorrow" he said and smiled at the look she gave him, but he walked away before she said a word.

That night Klaus promised himself to win Light, no matter what it takes.
