Damon's Daughter
Chapter 12
Homecoming
A:N: I kind of love this chapter. Fluff, fluff, fluff, and then of course angst. Thank you winxgirl1997, JennyMikaelson, and rawrdino01 for your reviews! :D
Below are the links to pictures of Emma's dress/jewelry! The links to Emma's dress/jewelry are in my profile! (: Elijah will be back soon!

As I prepared for Homecoming I thought about Rebekah and I was overwhelmed by pity. I've always liked Rebekah. When Elijah left for the first time she was there to comfort me. She was there when I needed to get drunk and cry. She was there for me when I needed to rebound. Rebekah has always been there for me and now I'm going to a dance while she rots in my cellar. I sighed and put away my makeup. I turned to my bed where my homecoming dress lied. I didn't have much time to shop so it was a simple dress: long, very tight and an emerald green to complement my blue-green eyes. My jewelry on the other hand was much more extravagant. It was ancient, but beautiful. The necklace was lined with small diamonds and emeralds with two teardrop shaped emeralds in the center. The earrings were similar. The jewels were my mother's. They were among the many things she left me when she died. The diamond ring I wore on my ring finger was also quite old, but not given to me by my mother. The ring was a gift from Elijah and I've worn it every day since he gave it to me.

November 1954

"It's quite cold, isn't it?" Elijah asked as he put a warm arm around my waist. I nodded in agreement.

"Absolutely freezing," I smiled, burying myself in his warm chest. We were walking down the streets of Chicago during late November and it was already snowing heavily. I loved it. Christmas was rapidly approaching and I was excited. I would be spending the holidays with the man I loved. As the snow fell we gazed at the beautiful decorations and window shopped.

"So," Elijah began. "What do you want for Christmas, darling?"

I rolled my eyes, something I did every time he called me darling. "Well, diamonds are a girl's best friend," I smirked. It was Elijah's turn to roll his eyes.

"I should have known," Elijah chuckled and lightly kissed my forehead. "You have snow in your hair," he mumbled.

I reached up to brush it away but he stopped me. "No, don't. It looks beautiful," he smiled.

"Whatever you say," I replied. I then took his cold hand into mine and continued to stroll down the streets of Chicago. When we came to Tiffany's I stopped and admired the extravagant store. I studied the expensive jewelry in the window and the ridiculous prices attached to the pretty blue boxes. I was simply window shopping until I spotted the most exquisite ring I'd ever seen. There was a simple diamond in the middle and little diamonds surrounding it. For some reason I was drawn to it. While I admired the ring Elijah admired the falling snow and the shining stars. To get his attention I started to quietly mumble the words to Marilyn Monroe's 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.'

"The French are glad to die for love.
They delight in fighting duels.
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels.
A kiss on the hand
May be quite continental,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend," I sung.

Elijah turned to me and smiled. "Go on," he nodded. I raised my eyebrows and continued.
"A kiss may be grand
But it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you at the automat.

Men grow cold
As girls grow old,
And we all lose our charms in the end.

But square-cut or pear-shaped,
These rocks don't lose their shape.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend!"

Elijah chuckled and clapped. "More, more!"

I laughed and kept singing.
"I've heard of affairs
That are strictly platonic,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.

And I think affairs
That you must keep liaisonic
Are better bets
If little pets get big baguettes.

Time rolls on,
And youth is gone,
And you can't straighten up when you bend."

I strolled to Elijah and kept singing.

"But stiff back
Or stiff knees,
You stand straight at Tiffany's..." I stood on my tip toes and planted a kiss on his lips. I pulled away and whispered. "Cause diamonds are a girl's best friend."

Elijah smirked. "Bravo."

I theatrically bowed. Elijah then put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. "I think you've seen 'Gentleman Prefer Blondes' one too many times," he smiled.

"I think you're right," I laughed and glanced at the ring in the windowsill.

Elijah studied me and pursed his lips. "So, I take it you've found your Christmas present?"

A knock on the door brought me out of my reverie and I stopped twirling my ring.

"Who is it?" I called.

"Your father! You decent?"

"As I'll ever be," I shouted back and Damon opened my bedroom door. He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Why aren't you ready yet?" he asked. "We leave in like ten minutes."

"Oh, sorry," I replied. "I got kind of distracted."

Damon nodded and started to walk out of the room.

"Damon," I stuttered. "Are you sure our plan will work?"

He turned to me and smiled reassuringly. "Positive. Now get dressed."

I smirked and pushed him out of the room. "I'll be down in five minutes," I said as I shut the door.

Apparently, Homecoming was canceled so we are now having it at the Lockwood Estate. The swarms of people shocked me. I don't think the majority even went to our high school. When Elena (who was actually Katherine) and I spotted Klaus we strolled over to him.

"Emma, you look quite charming this evening," Klaus smirked as he looked me up and down. I rolled my eyes and he turned his attention to Elena.

"Where's your date?" he asked.

"Getting me a drink," she curtly replied.

"Well, it seems like I have you to thank for Mikael's demise," Klaus smirked.

"He came at me. I didn't have a choice."

"Still, I'm impressed," Klaus continued. "It's not easy for a human to dagger an Original."

"It wasn't the first time," Elena glared.

"Right. Elijah," Klaus sneered. "You seem nervous."

"I'm not nervous. I just don't like you," Elena snapped.

"Right, straight to the point then, shall I, love? People have been after me for 1,000 years and I am always one step ahead. So whatever it is you're thinking of trying, go for it. Give it your best shot. You won't succeed," Klaus gloated. "And if you do try something," he continued, "Just remember that your friend Stefan is at my mercy. I would hate to have someone die at another high school dance, wouldn't you?" Klaus then proceeded to walk away and stroll into the house.

"He's such an ass," I mumbled. Before Elena had a chance to respond two hybrids took Elena and I, dragged us to the front of the house and handed us over to Mikael, who was waiting for Klaus.

"Come out and face me, Niklaus, or they die!" Mikael called.

"Go ahead, kill them," Klaus sneered.

"Klaus, please! Help us!" I wailed.

"No, Klaus. He'll do it," Elena begged.

"If she dies, this lot will be the last of your abominations," Mikael said, gesturing to Elena. "And if she dies, you will be heartbroken and Elijah will be very upset," Mikael smirked, pointing to Emma.

"I don't need them. I just need to be rid of you," Klaus snarled.

"To what end, Niklaus? So you can live forever with no one at your side? Nobody cares about you anymore, boy! Who do you have other than those whose loyalty you've forced? No one. No one!" Mikael yelled.

"I'm calling your bluff, father. Kill them," Klaus growled.

"Come outside and face me, you little coward. And I won't have to," Mikael spat.

"My whole life you've underestimated me. If you kill them, you lose your leverage. So go ahead. Go on. Kill them. Come on, old man. Kill them! Kill them!" Klaus yelled.

Mikael suddenly started laughing at him.

"Your impulse, Niklaus. It has and will forever be the one thing that keeps you from truly being great," Mikael sneered.

Mikael suddenly stabbed Elena and Emma, but they didn't drop. They just started laughing at him. "Katherine?" Mikael questioned.

Katherine smirked and pulled out two wolfsbane grenades. She glanced at me as I pulled out my grenades. "Ready?" I smirked.

She nodded. "Kaboom." We both simultaneously tossed our grenades into the hybrid filled crowd.

While this was occurring Damon grabbed the stake and was about to plunge it into Klaus's heart when Stefan suddenly threw him in the opposite direction. The stake landed next to Klaus.

"What are you doing?" Damon urgently screamed. Klaus quickly grabbed the stake off porch and then plunged it into Mikael's heart causing the stake and Mikael to burn and turn into ash.

"What the hell did you do?" Damon snarled at Stefan.

"He's earned his freedom," Klaus said. He walked over to Stefan. "Thank you my friend. You no longer have to do what I say. You're free."

I could hear Damon's frantic screaming while I rested in my bed. Stefan ruined everything, and then skipped town just like I expected. I got my hopes up for nothing. I thought that tonight would be the night I was reunited with Elijah. I was wrong.
