SOPHIA'S POV:

I sat at on a stool at the Grill savoring the drink in my hand when someone sat beside me.

"Damon Salvatore what a pleasant surprise." I smirked not looking at the man.

"Sophia Pierce always a pleasure, but you are in my seat." He smiled.

"Oh I'm sorry wasn't aware this seat was taken" I looked over at him up and down biting my lower lip. "My my how time has been good to you."

"Not a dog yourself."

"Is that anyway to complement a lady?"

"You're Katherine's sister that's the best you'll get." He took the seat next to me ordering a glass. "I take it you're here for Kol."

"Now why does everyone assume I'm here for that original asshole." I growled finishing my drink.

"You honestly aren't here for him?" I shook my head. "Good than you could help us take them down."

That bit of information caught my interest, "You can't kill an original Damon, believe me I already tried."

"We might have found a way."

"How?" I leaned in closer.

"First I need to know you're on our side."

"Let me guess your little group consist of you, your brother, and that Katherine wanna be."

"She may look like your sister but she's nothing like her."

"Whatever you say. So when do we take them down?"

"At the ball Esther wants to talk with Elena, but I don't trust her, I need you to have my back and stop Elena from talking to the witch."

"On one condition, you go as my date." I smiled.

"No time to compel yourself some desperate guy?" Damon teased.

"Aw come on not like you have anyone to take with Elena and Stefan going together." I countered.

"Fine, pick you up in a hour."

"See you soon." I smirked leaving to get ready.

KOLS POV:

I impatiently tapped my foot feeling on edge.

"Is someone nervous?" My sister said.

"Why would I be nervous?"
"Guest are arriving, it's only a matter of time before Sophia shows up."

I rolled my eyes ignoring here when another guest arrived. My eyes instantly went to her hazel ones noticing something different. Her hand was locked with the eldest Salvatore.

"I think I'll go introduce myself to the mayor." I whispered to Bekah leaving her side.

Of course the same moment I approach the girl Damon Salvatore joins us.

"Mayor Lockwood, we haven't formally been introduced, Kol Mikaelson." I kissed her hand gently infecting her with my charm. " I hope your lovely town embraced us as much as we plan to embrace it."

Damon holds his hand out toward me. "Damon Salvatore. Have we met before?"

All I can do is glare at him. "I've met a lot of people, and you don't particularly stand out." I left them both baffled about to head toward Rebekah when I see Sophia standing next to her laughing at something.

The brunette catches me, making her smile widen. She seductively bites her lower lip eyes wondering my body.

"Kol Mikaelson." Sophia says my name in a whisper sending chills down my spine against my will.

Now I have no choice but to go up to them.

I smirk taking in her appearance, time hasn't changed her at all still very very attractive. "Hello Sophia."

"Kol. Good to know being in a box didn't change your appearance." She smiled innocently her words fulled with venom.

"Why so harsh love?" I smiled more as the corner of her lips twitched once I called her love.

"I'm going to find Elijah." She stated.

"Aww but we were just getting reconnected!" I called after as she left, not before flipping me off.

SOPHIA'S POV:

God why does he have to be so ugh! He always finds a way to get under my skin his presence alone causes me to relive feelings I thought had been long gone. Stop it, he's an asshole not worth any feelings. I repeated those words until it settled in.

Elijah was wearing a tux, not surprising, as he walked toward me. "Old friend, how have you been?"

I hugged him. "I've been good. How about you?"

He sighed. "Well I'm not dead so."

I laughed. "That is good. I heard your mother is back, everything okay?"

"I don't know she wishes to speak with Elena, I'm not sure what about."

I swallowed a lump in my throat before speaking. "I'm sure it'll be fine." He nodded when a glass being tapped caught our attention.

A lady, I assume Esther, motioned for Elijah and his siblings to join her at the top of the stairs.

"I'd like to thank everyone for joining us today, me and my family appreciate how welcoming everyone has been. Now if everyone can grab a partner whom they did not accompany and join us in our annual waltz in the main room." Esther smiled and everyone begun to find partners.

Elijah held his hand out toward me. "Care to dance?"

For a split second I saw Kol look in my direction before grabbing some dumb whore to dance with.

My attention returned to Elijah. "I'd love to."

The music started and I moved perfectly with Elijah. He twirled me than caught me pressing my body against his.

"Elijah never knew you were such a good dancer." I smiled.

"I've had a lot of time." He smiled twirling me again but this time a pair of rougher hands held me.

His brown eyes looked down into mine.

"God why did it have to be you." I glared.

"Still holding a grudge are we?" Kol smirked hands lowering down my back and continuing to lower.

I grabbed his hand placing it higher. "Do that again and you'll be missing an arm."

He laughed his breath brushing against my skin slightly. "Still feisty."

I rolled my eyes trying to ignore his body against mine. "I was really hopping you'd be in a box for another hundred years."

"Sorry to disappoint you love." We danced in silence before Kol said, "You and that Salvatore seem awfully cozy."

I arched a brow looking up at him. "Jealous?"

He snorted. "Of only one of the many guys I'm sure you've been with? Not a chance."

I shook my head making my curls bounce. "Well a girl needs pleasure. At least last I checked that's how you felt."

"You've been getting a lot of pleasure I bet." His tone was harsh and so pissing me off.

"You have no right to be mad at me. After all not like I mean anything to you so drop it." Before he could say anything else I stormed off feeling my anger rise. How dare he! I am not some whore, okay I mess around but it's not like I have a guy on the side!

"Ugh!" I threw my hands up in frustration.

"Are you okay miss?" A man asked concerned.

He was cute enough, good I need a snack.

I made direct eye contact with the man. "Follow me and don't say a word." He nodded following me into an empty room.

I tossed him on the furniture sitting on his lap kissing his neck than sunk my fangs in drinking until I felt his body go still. I wiped my mouth cleaning myself up before going back to the part where I saw Elena and Damon head into a room. My attention spiked as I saw Stefan enter soon after. I did make a deal with Damon but he hasn't been a very good date so I stayed in the shadows witnessing as the youngest Salvatore snapped the others neck. I simply turned away walking outside grabbing my phone out.

"Hey sis I take it you're out of Italy."

"Yep any idea how they found us?"

"I'm guessing it had something to do with their mother being a very powerful witch."

"So you've heard of me, fantastic." Esther said from behind me.

"Uh Katherine I'm gonna have to let you go." I hung up facing the witch.

"You must be Sophia it is a pleasure to meet you." She shook my hand. "I was wondering if you would assist me in something."

I watched her curiously. "What is it?"

"Not here let us go somewhere more private." Her tone implied she wasn't suggesting she was ordering. What the hell could she want with me?
