Chapter 7

"Mommy?" I ask as she lies on the floor sleeping. "I'm hungry." I say shaking her. "Please mommy I wake I am so hungry." I look at the beautiful woman sleeping on the ground and it its me and I start so shaker her. "Please you can be, please mommy, please make up."

I wake sweating and breathing heavy and I start to take deep breaths to call me down, I look around at the room where I am staying. It isn't the most glamour place, but I leaved in worst places.

I hear the door knocked and I open it to see Rebekah there with a smile, but not her typical high energetic smile then I look up to see Caroline with the same smile and I blink. Vampire hearing. They probably hear me that is why the sad smiles.

"Morning." I say. "Didn't expect you in here. I mean I did expect Rebekah but not you Caroline."

"Actually I came to see if you were ok, I ask Elena for you and she told me that you moved."

"She told you that?" I ask surprise.

"Ok, not with those words but I am not repeating them."

"I am fine don't worry. Ready a day of beauty?" I ask Rebekah and she smiles at me.

"Of course we have a ball to attend."

"Are you going to Caroline?"

"I am not sure yet. Maybe." She says and looks at us. It is obvious that she wants to say something else but she doesn't say it, probably because Rebekah is in here. "Well I will leave you both. Have a nice day." She says leaving and then Rebekah looks at me with a smile.

"Let's get ready." She says dragging me to the room.

After Rebekah is ready she leaves to get the last details done in her house and I star at myself in the mirror. Rebekah had done a great job with my makeup and hair. The simple updo with some curls loose on the front and the minimized make up, just black eyeliner on my eyes and very light purple eye shadow and the nude lip-gloss. The dress on the other hand was more complex. The purple Zuhair Murad dress is perfect. I look over the clock and I see that it is time for me to leave.

Elijah P.O.V.

"So this is why…" They keep talking but I ignore when I see Daniele walking in looking like a vision. The purple dress makes her soft skin glow even more and show her figure perfectly. The dress is very tight to her body, almost looking like it is painted in her showing her slim waist and wide hips then the top is almost mold to her large bust. When she sees me she smiles and walks at me.

She compliments me and I just start at her, she barely had make up and her face still looks perfect. She looks sexy, beautiful, elegant and devilish at the same. I don't know how, but she does.

"Elijah." She says my name bring me back to the ball. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, you just look incredible for lack of words."

"That you Elijah, you look very handsome yourself. As the room it is incredible." She says looking around for the first time I see and I can see the lust in a lot of man of the room and his eyes on Daniela which makes me … jealous.

"Would you like a glass of champagne?" I ask her.

"I would like it a lot." She says and I give her a glass which she drinks but not before she gives me a sensual smile and I feel every bribe on my body fill with lust. What is wrong with me? We look at the entrance where Elena walks with both of the Salvatore's brothers but I see Damon's eyes go directly to the older Gilbert has they get bigger then he looks at me and smirks. "You are very silent today." She says to me and I look at her.

"What would you like to talk about?" I ask her because all I want to ask her is not what she wants to answers, like that day in the cemetery or why she left her house.

"I don't know." She simply says to me.

"Elijah, the speech." Kol says and them looks at Daniela with a smirk.

"You truly are the sexist woman in the room." He says kissing her hand and I start to get jealous again.

"And your charm doesn't work on me." She says with a smile.

After Elijah does he's speech everyone starts to partner up for the dance.

"Would you dance with me?" Elijah asks me offering me his hand that I accept happy about it.

Dancing with Elijah is easy, probably because he has centuries to make it perfect also the way he speaks.

"Your speech was very good."

"It was nothing besides I have year of practice."

"True."

"You look you could do it also very easily."

"What?"

"Speak to people. You do make a living of that and for what I hear you are very good at it."

"Yes, small groups. This many people, I don't know if I could."

"So you don't like to speak in front of an audience." He concludes

"Unless in necessary, of course."

"You just have to connect with people."

"I such at connecting with people." It is true that is probably why my lack of social life, not that I need it.

"I don't think so." He says and I look at him like he's crazy. "You are an appealing woman Daniela."

"Proves that you don't know me very well, I am not the nicer person in the world."

"I have seen worst believe me."

"I not doubting on that." I see her looking at another par Elena and Damon. We can choose them but it doesn't what happens we can't let them go. I remember her words when we first meet and her thoughts on family.

"You don't like to see them together." I point it out and she looks at me surprise. "Maybe some left feelings with Damon."

"It is far from that. She just making a mess of her life but the last thing I want it's to talk about my family." And there is the mask again. She let her slip a few times, but she has return.

"So what do you like to talk about?"

"I like theater." She says surprising me. Theater there is concrete think I know about her. "It is one of the greatest things about New York, the theater."

"Broadway them." I say to her and she nods. Well she can sing, amazingly well, actually. "Did you ever act before?"

"Professionally? No. I did some plays a while ago." She says and the mask is gone again and lets me see sadness but she quickly closes her light green eyes open them now with the mask back on. Why does she hide herself so much?

"Why not become a theater actress?" I say and she stops the eye contact which is surprising since looks as much taller them me with her hells.

"My mother dreamed to be a ballerina." She says and I hear the sad voice, the same sad voice I hear in the cemetery and at that time we alternate partners.

"Sister." I say to my new partner as we dance.

"Keep trying." She says to me and I look at her confuse as she looks at Daniela that is dancing with Damon. "Today when I get to her house I hear her scream." She says and I look at her worry and Rebekah smiles at me, like she relates to my felling. "I am sure it was a nightmare. Caroline was there with me and she looked sad but at the same time not surprised. She kept saying mommy and please wake up." We both look at her was she is dancing with Damon and it is obviously they are having a deep conversation.

"It is not your fault Dani."

"It's Damon, I should have done something." She says and he looks at her sadly we decide not to interrupt anymore.

"You care for her don't you Elijah."

"I do. She has this mask on her and I really want to know what is behind it."

"You will have to me patient with her but I wish you good luck my brother.

"Why?"

"Because I like her, she is like the sister I never had." She says and everyone stops dancing.

At that time (Damon and Daniela)

Daniela founds herself in the arms of Damon as they both dance.

"Do you realize this is the first time we actually dance together." Damon says to her and she nods.

"Took us a long time didn't it." She says and sees Damon looking at Elena that is dancing with Stefan. "You look like you don't want to be here."

"Is it that obvious?"

"No, I just know you better than you think."

"I know you too you know." He says looking at her as she looks at him trying to figure out what he is saying. "You want more than hot heavy sex with Elijah, don't you?"

"Damon." She whispers.

"Admit it Daniela."

"I think I do but look at what open up to someone you sleep with got me."

"Dancing with a very handsome vampire."

"Yes it did but that is not what I meant, you know my secrets because you were the first person to see behind the know how messed up I am Damon better than anyone."

"I am too Daniela. You also know it."

"I dream about her, you know." She says showing her sadness at Damon.

"It is not your fault Dani." He says softly.

"It's Damon, I should have done something. I should know."

"You need to stop blaming yourself for everything that happened bad in your life."

"I do it when you do it also." She says and Damon pretended that he doesn't know what she is talking about. "You know what I meant." She says and the dance ends and they both go they ways.

"Can I talk to you." Elena interrupts Daniela walk to Elijah.

"Of course Elena." She says taking a deep breath as they both walk outside to the balcony.

"Jeremy call me. He returns this weekend."

"Yes Elena you already told me that."

"He also told me about that art school in New York."

"And?" She asks not really wanting to talk with her now.

"Why do you have to be so selfish and a bitch. Jeremy is my brother and I know what is best for him you clearly don't. Do you think he really wants to leave with you? Of course he doesn't no one would."

"Elena I think that it's enough." Damon says appearing and looking at Daniela as she hides behind her mask.

"She is the one you need to be angry at. She is nothing but bad news."

"Elena that is enough for one night." Damon says and she looks at him with a little smile.

"But you love me don't you. You love me not her." She says putting his hands around him. "Just like Jeremy and everyone else." She says smiling and Damon almost snaps.

"Go see Stefan, Elena." He says pulling away from her.

"But Damon." She says shocked.

"Go see Stefan." He says to her and Elena turns to her sister.

"This is your entire fault."

Damon P.O.V.

Doesn't she think something. Doesn't she get it that deep down when it comes to people around us Daniela and I are so much alike. Worst doesn't she sees all the good things Daniela has done. I look at the balcony but Daniela is not there so I walk to the party where I see 4 shocked originals and Caroline looking at me.

"Was anyone of you seen Daniela?" I ask them worry.

"No. she didn't come this way." Caroline says.

"And Elena?" I ask without any feelings in my voice.

"Stefan took her home even if he didn't want to." Rebekah says and I nod, knowing what Elena is saying right now very well.

"Is this always like this?" Elijah asks.

"99% of the times yes." I answer. "But I need to find Daniela before she does something stupid."

"Her car is still in here." Kol says appearing, when did he leave the group?

"So she can't be too far." Klaus says and I see Caroline looking at him surprised.

"Do you have somewhere with flowers or a little patio outside?" I ask.

"Yes by the pool why?" Klaus speaks.

"She is probably there." I say stopping when Elijah calls my name.

"Damon wait." I turn to him. "I will go." He says and I nod letting him leave as we all just stare at each other's.

"She manipulated you." Caroline says and I look at her almost ashamed. "It is not the first time and you know it." Everyone knows the person we are talking about it Elena.

"All this just because you slept with Daniela, damn she is just like Tatia." Kol says not understanding.

"It is not just that." Caroline says and we all look at her. "To Elena, Daniela has the perfect life and doesn't need to be protesting about anything at all."

"Wish is far away for the truth." I let it out and Caroline looks at me surprise. "She told me more than you think Blondie."

"She doesn't understand but she draws people into her that makes Elena hate her because she always wanted and most of the times had the spotlight."

"Because you can see that Daniela as something dark and wanting. She is mysterious, people just want to know her." I say and they all look at me shocked. "You know I am right."

"Do you think he can?" Rebekah asks me and I look at her. "To fix her." I look outside. I have tried that for a year.

"I don't know."

Daniela P.O.V.

"Are you ok?" The deep voice asks and I turn to see Elijah.

"I am. I was just making a phone call." I say and it is true I was making a phone call not just that but it's true. "I guess you hear." I say and he pulls close to me but I just walk away. "Don't."

"Why not?" He asks me. Why not? Really why not?

"Because you can't fix me, especially not right now."

"Ok, what do you do when you are like this?"

"I fight or kick someone until I almost passed out. I drink until I actually pass out. Or." I say but I stop.

"Or what?"

"Nothing." I say turning away but he is in front of me.

"Or what?" he asks me and I find that deep voice very sexy.

"I let go all the anger… in bed." I say looking at the floor. Not he knows what you truly are. A slut.

"Well from all the 3 I think it is the healthiest." He says and I look up. He has no idea what he is talking about.

"Elijah, you don't know what you are saying."

"I leave a thousand of years Daniela." He says and I get goose bumps. "I know what you are talking about." He say pulling me to him and I fell my body on fire. He can't be honestly thinking about it, there is no way Elijah would think about sex like this. "The question is." HE says at my ear sending me chills all over my body. "Do you want to control our be controlled?" He says and I kiss him hardly has we both battle for the control and I start to get even more turned on.

"No underwear." He says surprise when he touches my ass.

"It didn't go well with the dress." I say biting my lip and he pulls me to him on a heated kiss. Damn the man can kiss. I travel my hands to his chest felling the defined abs under the suit he starts to kiss me neck making my moan out loud and I remember we are in the patio and there is people leaving the house at this moment.

"Bedroom." I say at his earing and he takes me to door.
