Getting ready for a Ball:

Beth walked towards Klaus' house, smiling. Surprisingly, she was happy. It was first that she was actually happy to be going to Klaus' mansion, but Alaric was healing faster, thanks to Damon's blood. He was better now. Klaus had apologized to her earlier, as she did to him. He understood why she did what she did and he forgave her for that, which was a pleasant surprise, but what was most shocking is when he asked her to the ball, that she politely declined. She had a feeling that he already knew why thought, but he wasn't angry at that either.

It was being a weird day that was oddly in her favor. She walked up to the doorway of the Mikaelson house and before she could knock on the door, it opened to reveal a freshly undaggered Rebekah. Before she could get a word out she hugged her. "I'm so glad you're here. There's too much masculinity in the house for me." Beth laughed as she pulled away. "And now I can get your opinion on my dress and what you're going to be wearing."

Beth smiled as she led her down the hall. "I truly don't know. I think I'm going to actually need your help on that one." She told her, honestly.

"Maybe, maybe not." She said with a secretive smile, before Beth could ask what she meant, Rebekah pulled her into a room. Kol was in a tux looking at himself in the mirror and another man was being measure for a suit, that Beth figured was their brother. Elijah was there too, getting ready for the ball. He glanced up to see her coming in with his sister, but decided against saying anything to her. He didn't want to upset her anymore than he did all ready.

Rebekah walked over and introduced Beth to Finn. "Elizabeth, this is my older brother Finn." She said politely.

"It's lovely to meet you," He smiled at her, shaking her hand. Beth felt a rush of cold go through her, as though there was something bad about him, but she ignored it.

"Likewise." She replied with a smile. She gave a small nod over to Elijha, who returned it just as awkwardly. Kol smirked slightly at the interaction between them. It would be too hard not to take advantage of it.

"Hello, darling." Kol greeted her with a grin, kissing her cheek, making her blush. "What a pleasant surprise, have you come to slap my brother again?" He asked her, amused, making her blush deeper and Elijah looking away, sheepishly. "No? That's a shame." Rebekah just rolled her eyes at her brother before sitting down to get her nails done and pulling Beth besides her. She knew exactly what color would look good on her. Kol turned back to the mirror to adjust his suit. "Rebekah, Elizabeth, tell me how handsome I am."

Beth smiled, amused. "Oh, Kol, you know I can't be compelled." Rebekah reminded him with a sigh, making the rest of them grin. Kol ignored her and turned to Beth, waiting her answer.

"Oh, um, very handsome." She agreed with a smile. And in all honesty she wasn't untruthful. Kol did look handsome in about anything, but he definitely was attractive in that suit. Her answer seemed to please him as he grinned at her.

"Lying's bad for your health, Elizabeth." Rebekah told her while looking at her newly painted nails, making everyone laugh with her. Kol, however, just threw a glare at his sister, as the door to the room slammed opened to reveal their other brother.

"You went after Elena! What is wrong with you?" Klaus growled out to her, obviously angry.

"Here we go." Rebekah grinned at her brother. He wasn't amused though. His sister knowingly tried to kill one of only two ways that he could make hybrids and she was treating it like it was a joke.

"Do you want another dagger in your heart?" He threatened her. Beth was glaring daggers at him. She didn't exactly agree to Rebekah trying to kill Elena, but she was sure she wouldn't have. She just wanted to scare her, which Beth had to admit, she had it coming. He ignored her.

"Again, with the dagger threats. Don't you have any other tricks?" Kol asked sitting down on the arm of a chair, obviously egging him on.

"Oh, go back to staring at yourself." Klaus said turning to him and rolling his eyes,

"And who are you, my father?" Kol questioned. Beth knew that was a sore subject for Klaus, especially after everything that Rebekah told her about their relationship. Klaus turned back to him with a glare on his face.

"No, Kol, but you're in my house." He snapped taking a step towards him.

"Then, perhaps, we should go outside." Kol suggested as he stood up. His tone was eerily calm, though Beth could see that he was really just as angry as Klaus as they stood toe to toe. None of their other siblings looked at them twice. This was obviously the norm for them. She thought this would be a good time to intervene, before someone got hurt.

"Okay, that's enough." Beth told them seriously, standing in between them, putting a her hands on both of them. Kol looked down at her and nodded, stepping down. "That means you too." She threw a sharp look at Klaus, and he backed off, to Kol's surprise.

"Nikalus! Come." Beth turned to find a women standing in the doorway. She seemed to be middle aged and she held a certain authoritative tone when she spoke. Beth could tell right off, that she was a witch and their mother, Esther. Esther looked at her, curiously, before turning away. Klaus threw one last glare to Kol before walking away.

Kol grinned as he watched his brother walk away. "All right, let's go, Elizabeth. This room has too much testosterone in it for my taste. We could drown in it." Rebekah stood up and dragged her out of the room, while her brother grinned after them.

Hours later, Beth went back to her apartment to get ready. She realized she still didn't have a dress, but to her surprise, there was one waiting on her door step when she got there. She gasped when she opened the box to see a beautiful, deep blue dress in it. It was knee length, but it was beautiful and just her size with a note on top of it. "Save me the first dance, beautiful?

-Fondly,

Kol

Beth smiled remembering the note, holding the necklace that Rebekah gave her from her jewelry box. It was simple silver chain with a oval locket, but she couldn't get it open. It looked famialar to her, though. She now stood outside the Mikaelson Manor, off to the side, waiting for a familiar face. It was in full swing when she got there. She hesitated on going in though. "Fancy seeing you here." She turned and saw Damon walking towards her. He was actually in a suit. "Wow, El. You look beautiful." He told her truthfully.

"Really?" She asked him in disbelief.

He rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. You really do look great." He smiled at her as he walked up next to her, which she returned. "Why are you here anyways?"

"I was invited."She replied shortly.

"By whom? Klaus?" He asked suspiciously. He knew that Klaus was still angry with both of them, but he wouldn't but it past the hybrid to invite her to the ball. It would be just like him to do that and try and score points with her. It was obvious that he cared for Beth much more than he let on or let anybody know.

"That's for me to know and you to dot dot dot." She replied with a wink.

He smirked at her for using his own line against him. "You stole my line." He accused her jokingly.

"I only borrowed it." She claimed innocently. He rolled his eyes at her with a grin. "What? I did, besides it sounds way better coming from me." She reasoned as they walked closer to the balcony outside of the mansion.

"That's debatable, El." He argued.

"I actually agree with her on this matter." They both turned to see Klaus walking up to them with a grin on his face. Beth could practically feel how tense Damon was to be so close to him.

"That's because you're a suck up." She joked with him.

"You got that right." Damon added.

"I'd rather be a suck up, than a screw up, mate." Klaus snapped back.

"Will you guys behave?" Beth hissed at the both of them. Damon went to say something, but she grabbed his hand and turned to Klaus. "I'll see you inside." She smiled at him as she pulled Damon away inside the mansion. The last thing she wanted was for them to start fighting. They entered the ball, hoping that this night went better than it had already started.
