Chapter Nine – Must Have Done Something Right

The next few days Jessica and Beth spent together with Kendra and Sandra going through the local stores. Monday (25 Oct), they picked out paint and fabric samples; light green with dark blue wine details for Jessica's walls, and light blue with white flowers for Beth, and different light colors for the bed and pillows. Tuesday 26 Oct), they filled two large vans with clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry. Wednesday (27 Oct), they bought all the furniture and technology, making it Jessica's least worst day, looking at stereos, Blu-ray players, computers and cellphones, since both Jessica's and Beth's were destroyed when their car exploded.

Klaus kept his promise of trying to teach Jessica how to dance the waltz. For Beth, who had learned this years ago, this was more entertaining than anything she had ever seen, because, if there ever would be an award for "Worst Dancing Performance", Jessica would most definitely win, and Klaus would get the "most impatient and horrible teacher" award. Jessica had kicked Beth out Tuesday, after her third "laugh attack".

After Tuesday's totally failed lesson Jessica was sick and tired of Klaus' lousy teaching skills; every time she made a mistake, he made this weird, frustrated face, making Jessica want to punch him. Even Klaus realized that she needed a more patient teacher, not that they would find anyone better at dancing than his with all his experience. The hybrid Keith was best of them at dancing, so he tried teaching her, and this gave some better results but the progress was way too slow.

Thursday (28 Oct)

"I don't think this is going to work, Klaus. I simply can't learn the waltz by tomorrow. Isn't there any way I can get out of this?"

Jessica, Beth, Klaus and Kol sat in the dining room, drinking tea, when Jessica finally asked the forbidden question. But Klaus didn't become angry, just took another sip on his tea.

"Don't you worry, Jessica love; I have called in someone that I think will be the perfect instructor for a little failure like yourself." Klaus smiled toward Jessica, who just wanted to throw her tea in his face for his comment. "He'll be here in little less than two hours, so why don't you use the time to get yourself a date for the ball. If you don't hurry, all the good ones will be taken. Beth told me before that she'll be escorted by that quarterback Matt Donovan."

"Fine, I'm going to call Bonnie, first of all since I don't know anyone in town and she could help me, and second, I haven't talked to her since Sunday."

"I don't think that's a good idea, particularly since I don't trust her. She is still angry about the part my family played in turning Abby into a vampire, and she's also a bit petty about me making her help us." Jessica rolled her eyes over how Klaus described the way he had forced Bonnie several times to help him with spells, but didn't say anything, trying to keep Klaus in a somewhat good mood.

"If I can't call her, I have no idea how I will get a date, it's not like I'm pretty or beautiful like my sister, and don't even try to suggest your creepy brother or your nasty hybrids. Being near any one of them makes my skin crawl."

Klaus was surprised that Jessica couldn't see that she was at least as beautiful as her sister. He could even go as far as calling her sexy. If it hadn't been for his obsession with Caroline… That reminded him that he needed to call her and ask her to be his date, and he walked away toward his bedroom.

"Well, since it seems like I will be going alone, why don't you and I, sis, go and play some Wii tennis. This time I'm sure I'll kick your butt."

"Come on, Jess, you could easily get anyone to accompany you to the ball. But since I know how annoyingly stubborn you are, let's go play some Wii." Beth sighed, frustrated over her sisters low self-esteem over her looks.

"You two can do whatever you want, as long as Jessica is in the ballroom in about 2 hours, and remember not to be late or Klaus will be angry, and none of us want that to happen. Oh, I almost forgot; Donna, the hairdresser, called and rescheduled your appointments tomorrow, from 4 pm to 3:15 pm. Hope that's okay with the both of you; otherwise she said to call her."

"Sounds good, thank you Kendra, and don't forget our "beauty-party" before the ball tomorrow."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world. You know what, Beth, when Jessica here is twirling around, trying not to fall over, I'll challenge you in Wii Bowling".

Beth smirked over what Kendra said about Jessica's dancing, "I'll take that challenge. May the best player win!"

After have being beaten by Beth 11 times in a row, Jessica changed her black top, blue jeans and white Adidas, into a red dress and red high heels shoes, similar to what she had worn the other dancing lessons, all according to Klaus' orders. As she walked over to the ballroom, she was thinking about whom this instructor was and if he was human or not. She was tired of having to put up with supernatural beings and the way their energy signatures felt around her.

When she had entered the ballroom, she quickly noticed that it was empty! Jessica went totally nuts, screaming and cursing over Klaus, god, the entire planet…

"That is no way for a lady to behave." A voice from the shadows said. Jessica just stopped and looked around.

"Who's there? If you don't show yourself, you will regret it." Jessica called out, and a tall man walked up to her. A tall, handsome, even sexy man, now stood in front of her, taking her hand and kissed it, surprising Jessica and made her blush.

"I apologize if I frightened you, that was never my intention. I would guess that you are Jessica."

"Well, it seems like you know who I am, while I have no idea who you are."

"My apologies, "Mystery man said, with a warm, friendly smile, "My name is–"

"Elijah, how nice of you to join us, though you are quite late". Klaus said, walked up to them. Jessica tried to remember where she had heard the name Elijah before, when it hit her; He was the oldest of "the Originals", making Jessica worried.

"Jessica, this is my big brother, Elijah, who will be your new instructor. I will leave the two of you alone, but I be back in a few hours to check on you progress."

When Klaus had left the room, Elijah took a step toward Jessica, who took a step back.

"You do not have to fear me, Jessica; I give you my word that I will not hurt you. Why don't you go and put some music on, and try to relax."

Relax, Jessica thought, easy for him to say, he doesn't have to dance with his darkest nightmare. At least I don't have to feel that horrible feeling being around a vampire. Wonder how that works, mental note to ask him later.

Jessica walked over to the stereo, and put on Bryan Adams (Everything I Do) I Do It for You.

"Bryan Adams, interesting choice. It's from that Kevin Costner movie, am I correct."

"Yes, 'Prince of Thieves' actually. It's one of my favorite songs, but the movie is not very good. I didn't know vampires liked romantic action movies."

"Well, I had to check if the movie had captured the medieval style, and if I say so, they did a terrible job." Elijah said with a smile.

Jessica chuckled, "Yes, I can agree to that, but at least something good came out of the movie."

Elijah gave a smirk, "Yes, it's a good song, but most people prefer to waltz to more classic music."

"Yes I know, but I can't stand most of the Mozart, Bach and the others. I think that Klaus left a few CD of classic music over here, if you want me to change."

"No, this will be just fine, maybe later, if we need a change of sound. I do prefer the classic music; I am what you may call "old-school". Jessica started giggle a little when Elijah said Old-School.

Right from the start Jessica noticed that Elijah was much better at teaching how to dance than Klaus and Keith, mostly because, instead of insulting her all the time, he told her what she had done wrong and how to fix it. He was also more polite and patient, and Jessica couldn't help but feeling like she actually had a good time. After five whole hours, she almost had it, just a few more mistakes that needed fixing.

"You are doing very well, Jessica, I cannot understand why my brother was so frustrated over you."

"Believe me, I'm terrible, it's all you who's making me look good."

"Well thank you, and I hope that your date will do the same."

"Actually, I haven't got a date."

"Why is that, I thought that the neighborhood men would line up to have a chance to escort such a beautiful lady like yourself."

Jessica giggled a little, starting blushing. "You are a terrible liar, Elijah."

"I'm not lying and to prove it, I will escort you myself, if you don't mind."

"A-Ah, I– I can't let you do that, you should go with someone much more beautiful," Jessica stuttered.

"No, I don't think I could find anyone more suited to be my date even if I tried." Jessica couldn't help but smile over Elijah's words, trying to figure out why she felt so excited over going with a vampire. "It's settled then; I will meet you outside your room in time for the ball. Now, let's try this a few more tries before we stop for the night.

Jessica nodded, smiling bigger than she had ever done before. What was it with this man that made her feel this way?

Keith was overlooking them dancing, and when Jessica and Elijah stopped and went for bed, he met Klaus outside the house.

"How did it go, is she getting better?"

"Yes, Klaus, she shows a lot of improvement from dancing with your brother. I know I shouldn't ask, but why are you trying to get Elijah and Jessica together?"

"You don't think that they deserve someone to love and to be loved, and all of that? Neither do I, but if Jessica has more reasons than just her sister to stay, the risk of them running away from here if I break that silly oath, will be a lot smaller." Klaus said with a wicked smile, and then looked into Keith's eyes, "You are not to mention any of what we just talked about to anyone." Klaus compelled Keith.

So, What do you think? Have any Questions? Any objections? Anything that was extra good? Got any ideas? Write me a review and let me know.
