A/N: Before you read, I'd like to say. I'm sorry. While writing this chapter I realized I suck at writing scheming and plotting revenge. It opened my eyes and found whole new level of appreciation for the writers of shows like The Vampire Dairies and Gossip Girl because coming up with a good scheming is much harder than I thought. I can promise you, it was much better in my head than it ended up being on the paper. I tortured myself with this chapter, still this is all a ended up with. I hope you won't hate it as much as I do.

SPOILER ALERT: Klaus is an artist in this story, just like he turned out to be in the show. Still, you have my word, he won't be whining, pathetic Klaus he became on the show.

I present to you, chapter 7.

CHAPTER 7 Dance With Me Tonight

I was wondering if you and me could spend a minute
On the floor, up and close, getting lost in it
I won't give up without a fight
I just wanna, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight

Four hours later Bonnie entered her home. She didn't realized how fast it has passed. She spend the afternoone with Stefan, making spaghetti and eating them later on. With Damon there true, but not even him was on was on his usual annoy-Bonnie mood, so it was pretty nice. When the young girl put down her bag she noticed a white letter standing on the table. She put down keys and took the letter. There was around 100 dollars inside. It was her father's handwriting so she could easily guess what it said already.

Hey sweetie,

I was called to Washington for next 4 days. I know you hate when I leave, but we agreed once a month is okay. I'll call you when I get there.
Love, Dad
P.S. There was some box adressed to you. It has a nice bow and everything. It's in your room. It better not be from a boy.

Bonnie lauged at her Cliff's last sentence, he will see her a his little girl who think boys are yuckie 'til the day he dies probably. Still she put the note down and ran upstairs. She was in a rush to see what she got and who she got it from. Her birthday was months away, but if it's something nice from her aunt in Florida or grandfather in California who mixed the dates, she won't complain.

It was really a white box with a nice elegant black bow on it. She opened it up quickly, not caring how that's not very ladylike. It turned out to be gorgeous dark green ball gown. Insanely gorgeous and Bonnie felt starstruck by it, it was probably the most expensive dress she ever touched and the material was so soft. So wonderful to touch, it was like she was touching clouds. She could even imagine herself sleeping in this. She picked it up to she how it would fit her, she grabbed it around the waist and even on the first look it was like another skin.

But who could send her this? As she lied her dress back on her bed, Bonnie noticed a note that flew out and landed on the ground. She picked it up. It wasn't a handwritind of anyone she knew, but it was easy to read and when she read it ,it took her by surprise.

Honored to have you as my date.

Bonnie filped it around to see if it says anything else and it did. On the other side his name was written. Klaus. She put the note down next to the dress. It would be a lie to say Bonnie didn't love the dress, but she refused to wear it now that she knew it was from Klaus. No man could ever buy her, especially not Klaus. She put the dress back into its box and pushed it under her bed. She then lay down and took a deep breathe. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt her as much as she thought it would to just dismiss such a gorgeous dress. When you're doing what you feel it's right it doesn't feel like a chor. At least to Bonnie, it doesn't.

Elena walked into the Mikeloson's residence like a star. Filled with confidence and such glamour. Elena looked gorgeous in her black/silver gown with tinsel. More wonderstruck then others where the Salvatore brothers, as espected. "Excuse me, Carol." Damon said leaving the mayor of the town in the middle of the conversation. He was truly fascinated by the doppelganger, there was no doubt about it.

After her moment of stop and stare, people went back to their conversations and Elena was approuched by someone. Someone she knew really well, Stefan Salvatore. "What are you doing here?" Elena asked, surpised to see him there. It's not like Klaus and him were best friends, well not anymore.

"Could ask you the same thing." Stefan said in a serious tone, he was really focused on the his and Bonnie's plan. But deep down, he would rather not have Elena there, exposed.

"Surprise, surprise." The other Salvatore brother was now there too. He too was concerned about the brunnette being at Klaus' ball, but he knew nothing about Bonnie/Stefan plan. They decided it was safer that way.

Stefan knew Elena would show up, still he wished she didn't, she was a sucker for dressing up and dancing. "I know both of you disapprove my arrival." Elena said looking at them both. They nodded, she was right. "But I'm here and I'm not leaving until we're at least one step closer to killing the host so," she pointed to the party "shall we?"

Stefan was first to offer her his hand and she gratefully took it, not long after, but obviously not happy to share, Damon did the same. Trio walked into the ball confident, so many tricks up their sleeves.

The party was in full swing when Bonnie arrived. You could hear laughter and talk everywhere, it was rather a large party in an enormous house. Truthfully, she didn't expect anything less from Klaus. However when one waiter noticed her as he stopped and stared it was almost like a chain reaction. One after another, every male in the room was looking at ther from head to toe. Bonnie knew this dress was gorgeous, she rent it in a nearby town. Luckily saleswomen was a witch otherwise she would never get away with 8,000 $ dress. It was black and strapless, with it she put on red lipstick. Bonnie thought it made a statement. It made her look powerful and glamours, the look she was going for.

In another room Klaus was making some irrelavant human girl laugh. He looked away from a sec to spot Bonnie. More than ever before the witch took his breath away. She had beautiful necklace and a killer dress. He walked towards her and she walked towards him. They noticed each other a second they were in the same room.

"Good evening." Klaus put on one of his charming smiles. "This is not a dress I send you." He stated.

"No." Bonnie smiled, she sounded victorious. "You can't buy me with gifts. I'm not that kind of girl."

"I was just showing my affection, love." Klaus smiled. This girl was such a challange. "Don't be so offended."

Bonnie looked away, slightly annoyed, he always knew just what to say. His way with words were too good not to bother her. The same waiter from earlier that evening passed by and both of them took a glass of champagne.

"Needless to say, you look ravishing." Klaus said after few moments of silence. Bonnie smiled slightly, but she made sure he knows he's not winning her over. It was one of those, 'yeah I know' smiles and he loved it. They were very different, but on several leves, she was his equal.

"I've party to host." He said, Bonnie nodded her head. "But we are far from done." Klaus whipeared in her ear.

Touch of his skin was effective on Bonnie, it always caused some sort of reaction. Every time, even though she wanted nothing more than to not be moved by him. He walked away.

However, Bonnie wasn't standing alone for long. "Bonnie." It was Damon Salvatore. A vampire who she disliked, but who she couldn't seam to get rid of.

"Damon," Bonnie tried to imatate his dramatic voice. "you're here."

"So are you," Damon said "with Klaus."

"And that effects you how?" Bonnie looked him in the eyes.

Just as Damon opened his mouth to speak, they both heard someone else's voice. "Thank you all for coming." Klaus started his speech, two of them turned their attention to the hybrid. "Whenever I come into new town, I always start with a party."

People started clapping so Klaus made a short pause in his speech, however the vampire and the witch clapped completely indifferent to the speaker. Only thing they felt towards him was hate. Bonnie noticed Matt and Caroline walking in. She felt slightly worried her human friend was here, but she clamed herself. After all, Klaus did promise to behave."This town however is very dear to my heart. It's a pleasure to return and recieve such a warming welcome for beloved Mayor and the residents." Bonnie wanted to puke. "I think we should start with cenutries old waltz. Grab your partner and join me at the dancefloor." He smiled at the end.

As Klaus was walking down from the stares, Stefan and Elena approuched Damon and Bonnie. Stefan quickly pulled Bonnie aside. "I'll go now, you keep him busy." Stefan whispeard into Bonnie's ear. The witch caught Elena's eye and her friend seamed slightly jealous. Couldn't she tell it was stricly business? Bonnie nodded as Klaus approached.

"Shall we darling?" He offered his hand. Caroline and Matt just stepped towards them to see Bonnie take his hand and walk towards the dance floor.

Matt's jaw dropped while Caroline and Elena exchanged looks and nodded. Elena with Damon and Caroline with Matt too went to the dance floor.

Stefan walked towards basement of Klaus' mansion. He figured that's where he keeps his siblings. There was a mental door there, it reminded him on the one he had at his house. It was cold enough and hidden enough, if he was to dagger his brother and preserve him for couple of centuries, this is a kind of place he would choose too. He took a deep breathe, collecting all his strength before he smashed into the doors.

As they danced, Bonnie noticed Klaus's can't take his eyes off of her. It made her feel nervous, 'cause it's been a while any man has taken this much interes in her, if ever. She was anxious about Stefan, she wondered where he went and how quickly can he find something they can use before Klaus or one of his hybrids finds him snooping. Also, she was conflicted about her own feelings towards her dance partner. He was so charming and so appeling, her way of acting and morals have never been put on such a test.

"I'm glad you came." Klaus said before he spin her around. Bonnie didn't look impressed. "I said I would, didn't I?" She said emotionless.

"This town needs protection," she looked him straight in the eyes. "from you." She couldn't help but notice all the lust in Klaus' eyes. He wanted her, badly. He was looking at her like she was piece of meat and he haven't eaten in days. She gluped before she continued. "I'm a witch, so I'll make sure you don't do whatever crosses your mind."

He laughed a bit. "I'd love to see you try." He smiled one more time. "You look beautiful, Bonnie. Powerful and independent, your true self."

He spinned her around and they exchanged partners. She got into Matt's hands. "Alright now, are you doing with a devil?" Matt asked, concerned and confused.

Bonnie took a deep breathe, it was so hard to explain it. "Trust me on this one Matt." He nodded and no more questions where asked, it was wonderful how great friend Matt was.

Bonnie looked at Klaus' direction, he was dancing with one girl he surely won't hurt any time soon. "You're great dancer." Elena complimented Klaus.

"You're not bad either." Klaus said, surpised by her sudden kindness towards him. "So you are here with Bonnie? I'm surprised you didn't ask me."

Elena smiled. "After all I am your special girl." She flirted and it was now plain obvious. Elena was pretty and Klaus could just decived her he's buying it and have some fun, but he knew how unwanted she has made Bonnie feel for years. It made her repulsive to him.

"You're not special, you're useful." Klaus said before they exchanged partners again.

Stefan gave up, all the metal door gave him was the pain in his right arm. He moved to the upper part of hybrid's mansion as soon as possible. After checked nobody noticed he was in the area where he really shouldn't be he got into one of the room. It looked like a work room of...an artist. Stefan looked around completely surpised. There were painting and scatches and it seamed so out of character for ruthless killer Klaus was. As he looked at one of the painting, Stefan began to understand, after all he had his dairy. Every vampire, no matter how much the deny it, hold onto their humanity in every way possible.

Stefan walked over to the desk. There was half a dozen of scatches there. He looked around and he saw several familiar faces. On one he regonized Elijah and Rebekah, alongside several other faces he did not know but assumed are the rest of Klaus' siblings. Looks like he really cared about them as deeply as he appeared to. Holding onto that coffin was a good thing. Stefan put the drawing of Klaus' family down and looked at one he noticed left him speechless. He picked it up no make sure he saw it rightfully. It was, Bonnie. His feeling for her, that he so easily transcribed to manipulation, where genuine. Klaus was in love with heard a noise, he knew he had to move swiftly. He put the drawing in his pocket and he rushed out of there.

Bonnie was now dancing with Damon. "You'll excuse me." Bonnie said before she rapidly left the dance floor. She was too worried about Stefan, he wasn't back yet and she had to check up on him.

She tries her best to feel Stefan's energy. She was standing next to a table of drinks with her eyes closed and whispearing "Inveniam me."

Sudden touch makes her lose all her focus. "Are you alright?" She opens her eyes. It's a waiter; cute, blonde, human waiter.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." She blushes. She has no idea how to act, what to do. Maybe searching for him isn't a good idea, after all it's one thing it was better not to do.

Bonnie laughs at waiter's joke. He's funny and handsome, perfect distraction from many problems she had.

"Where's Bonnie?" However, her constant follower is searching for her. It didn't take him long to notice she's not dancing.

"Soon getting it on with a waiter." Damon comments with a drink in his hand as he points into Bonnie's direction.

"So did it work?" Caroline impatiently asked her friend. The party was almost all, most of the guests were gone. However, Elena and Caroline were still there, upset the host of the party was still alive and well.

"No." Elena said disappoinment and offended. Her charms usually worked on boys, but Klaus was different. "He really seams to like Bonnie."

Elena was as worried as she sounded. "Then of to plan B." Caroline said.

"We have a plan B?" Elena asked surprised.

"You wait here." Caroline said before she walked away. Elena wanted to protest, walking around Klaus' place alone didn't seam smart, but she kept quiet because her eyes caught something. It was Klaus.

Without a smallest sign of regret he killed one of the waiter's. He spanned his neck in a heartbeat and then he walked away. Elena rushed over there, but the was no use. Cute, blonde waiter was silent as the night, he was dead.

A/N: There you go, that was it. Please comment, it really means a lot to me. (I know I say that every time.) But I only got 3 reviews for the previous chapter and that's very depressing. Even if it's anonymous hate I'd like to get your reaction. Pretty please? It only takes a second.
