Chapter 5

Elena dropped the envelope. Why would the Originals give me an envelope? She

bent down and picked it up. Opening it, she pulled out a creamy coloured paper.

"Elena, you are invited for dinner with the attendance of the Mikaelson family."

she read, thoroughly confused.

"Well, that's a first," Damon said behind her, reaching over her shoulder to snatch

the invitation.

"Hey, that's mine!" Elena argued.

Damon flipped the invitation over, and read the back. He scoffed, and tossed it

back to Elena.

Looking quickly at him, Elena then read the back. "'You are expected to come

alone.' Of course I'll go alone! What would they expect?" Elena said.

"No! Not in this world, will you go alone to the Originals, Elena!" Damon started.

"They can kill you, and no one will be there to protect you!"

"I'm going alone, Damon. It's just a dinner," Elena cried.

"When it comes to the Originals, it is never just a dinner or ball, Elena.

Remember that." He muttered.

Later that night…

Elena walked up to the grand doors and knocked. A tall, motherly vampire opened

the door.

"You must be the girl," she murmured, eyeing Elena with interest. "I'm Esther,

and we need to talk."

After the talk with Esther (Same talk as the show Dangerous Liaisons)

Elena walked unsteadily out the room. If one goes, they all go.

She walked into the library, and looking up, she saw the Originals, all except for

Klaus and Esther.

"Elena, what did Esther tell you?" Elijah demanded. "We need to know."

"Why? What difference will it make?" Elena asked.

"Esther may have forgiven Klaus, but we will never," Elijah said.

"What do you mean?" Elena asked, swallowing nervously.

"We want to destroy Klaus," Rebekah stepped up and spoke.
