"I don't see why you couldn't have just gotten a dress from one of the girls what were at the house." Rebekah and I were in some town outside of town looking at dresses. When she found out that I hadn't gotten a dress yet, she practically kidnapped me.

"None of them were really my style. They weren't exactly me." I said as I looked through the racks of clothing in front of me. I pouted. "I'm never going to find a dress. Maybe I shouldn't go. I mean it's not like I even have a date either."

"You're in no need of a date. You will walk in that dance and make people wish they were your date." She then made a face and walked past me.

"Where are you going?" I was confused, but she only ignored me and kept walking.

When she finally walked back, she grinned and held up a dress. I was in awe of it. The dress was a short, but would be just a few inches above my knees due to my height. It had a semi-sweetheart neckline that was tight, and it was tightened towards the waist. From there, it flowed outward. Covering the dress was a layer of mesh over it, giving the botton more of a layered look. It was sleeveless and clipped around the neck with an open back. I thought it was perfect. "Judging from the look on your face, I'm going to assume that you love it. Now lets pay so we can head back and start getting ready."

As we were approaching Mystic Falls, Rebekah's phone rang. Winking at me, she pressed a finger to her lips and answered the phone while putting it on speaker.

"Yes?" She answered.

"We have a plan to take down Klaus, and we wanted to know if you're going to help us, or be against us." It was Elena.

After a moment, Rebekah decided. "I'll help you."

"Thank you, Rebekah." She sounded grateful. "Meet us at the boarding house now. As soon as you do, we'll tell you the plan and get it started." After that she hung up.

After driving in siling for about ten more minutes, I decided to speak up. "Are you sure you'll be able to go through with their plan?" I looked at her. "He is your brother after all."

"I can do this." She seemed to be assuring herself more than me. "I have to do this for my mother."

"Then I'll do whatever I can to help and support you. Even if I am just a human, I'll try my best." I grinned at her.

Turning to the road, I saw that we had finally reached the boarding house. As we got out of the car, I felt nervous. Sure, I've met Elena and Damon before, but what others would there be? Without knowing, I had moved slightly closer to Rebekah. When we got inside, I saw Elena, Damon, Stefan, and a desiccated looking body with a dagger lodged in his chest.

"What is she doing here?" Stefan asked Rebekah. I quickly became annoyed at him.

"I'm here with Rebekah obviously." I glared at him. He only rolled his eyes.

"Well, now that you two are done, here's the plan: We've daggered Papa Original, with his permission of course, we're then going to call Klaus and tell him he's here, un-dagger Mikael, bring him here as proof, and then Mikael stakes him." Damon decided to explain the plan straight to the point.

"So that's Mikael." I murmured to myself. I walked over to his body and knelt beside it. I stared at the black veins on skin of his face; I was transfixed. Curiously, I started poking his cheek continuously.

"What… are you doing?" I heard Elena's voice, so I looked up to see everyone staring at me. I could feel my cheeks heating up in embarrassment. I quickly got up and awkwardly walked towards them.

"Anyway." Damon dragged it out for a few seconds. "It's show time."

Stefan picked up his phone and began to call Rebekah's brother. Soon, he picks up. I'm assuming he says something first because Stefan stood there listening for about a minute. Then, he said, "Your father is dead." After a second of listening to a response, he smirked. "Oh, my mistake. Not your actual father and not dead. Mikael. Daggered. What do you want me to do with the body?" After listening to another response, Stefan began to tell him that he had come after Elena, and they daggered him. It didn't sound completely possible to me since Rebekah did say that the older the vampire the stronger, but oh well.

After Stefan finished explaining, whatever Klaus said made Damon smirk. I started wishing for their vampire hearing; I'm curious as to what's being said. Then, Stefan spoke again. "Well, he is here. Come by whenever."

Whatever Klaus said next, it made Stefan stop and think. "It's true. I saw it with my own eyes." Stefan seemed to be relieved that he said this. Maybe it had to do with the compulsion Rebekah was telling me about. I couldn't dwell on it for too long though since Stefan spoke again. "That's not a problem. She is right here."

Stefan handed the phone over to Rebekah. "Hello Nik." She seemed like she wanted to be angry with him, but she didn't want to ruin the plan. After hearing a response, she spoke again. "It's true. He's finally out of our lives for good. I miss you. I'm miserable here."

It almost sounded like she was pouting. "Good. I'll see you then, brother." She then hung up the phone and gave it back to Stefan. "He bought it. He's coming home."

"Now, was that easy or what?" Damon started to brag.

Elena just rolled her eyes. "Let's just get this over with." After saying that, she pulled the dagger out of Mikael's chest.

Rebekah looked towards me. "Are you going to get ready here, or at your house?"

I thought for a moment, biting my lip. "I think I'll go home. I'll walk."

Pulling a face, Rebekah hooked her arm around mine and dragged me to the door. "Fine. Let me take you to get your bags out of my car then."

Once we were outside, we walked to her car. Thinking about what she said before we walked out, I became confused. "Wait, bags? As in plural?"

"Of course. I saw a pair of shoes that would look perfect with your dress, so I just had to get it."

I was surprised. "Wow. Thanks."

Smirking playfully she handed me the two bags. "There's also something special for your hair, but don't look until you're home. It's a surprise."

"Of course." I laughed and started to walk away. "See you at the dance."

She mimicked me. "Of course."

I was halfway to my house when I ended up bumping into Matt, literally. I stumbled a bit, but luckily for me, I didn't fall, which was great. I don't think I could take anymore embarrassment that night.

"Woah, Eva are you alright?" Matt and I had gotten to know each other a lot more once we realized we shared a class together, although we've never spoken outside of that unfortunately.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry I guess I wasn't really paying attention." I laughed it off. Of course it wasn't until I felt lighter that I realized I had dropped the bags. I picked up the one Rebekah gave me and moved to pick up the other when he got if for me.

"Here you go." He gave it to me. "What'd you go shopping for anyway?"

"Just last minute shopping for the dance later." I pursed my lips, which I noticed had become a habit of mine.

"Oh! Hey, who are you going with anyway?" I slowly started walking towards my house, and he walked along with me.

"Me, myself, and I." I smiled. "I don't really know many people, and while I talk to Rebekah, she's going with some guy on the football team."

"Well, I happen to not have a date either. We could go together?" We had reached my house, so I stopped walking and turned to face him.

"That'd be great." I smirked playfully. "Although, I hope you know I'm going to expect the full homecoming date experience."

He mocked a bow. "As you wish, my lady." He ended with a grin and a wink which made me laugh. "I'll see you soon then."

"Bye Matt." I stood on the tips of my toes, despite wearing heels, to give him a peck of the cheek, and turned to go inside.

As I went inside and closed the door behind me, I grinned and gave a slight squeal of excitement. More eager now, I all but ran upstairs to my room. Putting the bags down on my bed, I started pulling off my clothes while walking to my bathroom to shower. After I was done, I dried myself and my hair, and put on my underwear. Walking back into my room and to my table, I connected my phone into a speaker and began to play music in order to fill the silence. Smiling sadly to myself, I wished my mother was there to see everything, but of course she wasn't.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I went over to the bags, took out the dress, and put it on. It was a perfect fit. After admiring it, I went over to my table and sat down on a chair. It was makeup time. I normally didn't do anything besides natural, but I decided to add winged eyeliner to my top lid, and bold red lipstick. When I was done, I stared at my hair for a few minutes before finally choosing to straighten it, and put it in a half up and half down style. I had left my fringed bangs falling normally over the the right side of my face. Finally, I went over to my bed to open the bag Rebekah had given me.

The first thing I pulled out of the bag was the shoes she picked out for me. I almost dropped them from shock as soon as I first saw them. They were Louboutin red bottom platform pumps! The shoe itself was black and were open toed. It also had small grey leather straps criss-crossing over the front. As though they were fragile, I put them on with extra care.

The last two things I found were a pair of earrings and a decorative hair comb. The earrings were made of clear and aurora borealis crystals that cascaded down in a dramatic drop. The hair comb was a shiny silver with diamonds that sparkled brightly. They formed swirls that rested just above where my hair was placed upon my head when I put it on. Connected to those swirls, were thin strands of silver that had tiny crystals spaced down it. The strands mixed in with the rest of her hair.

As I was making sure everything was in place, I heard the doorbell ring. Quickly disconnecting my phone from the speaker, to where the screen lit up and I saw I took hours to get ready, I walked downstairs. When I opened the door, I saw Matt with a black suit, white shirt, and a striped tie.

He was the first one to speak. "Wow, you look amazing."

I smiled and bit my lip. "Thank you. Of course you look pretty great yourself."

Grinning, he stepped back as I walked out and closed my door behind me. "I hope you don't mind, but there was a flood in the gym, so the the dance was moved to the Lockwood mansion."

"I don't mind at all." We got into his car and drove off.

Matt and I finally got to the party not too long after we left my house. When we got out, Matt held out his arm for me to take with a smile.

Turning to Matt, I slid my hands to his wrist and started to pull him slightly. "Let's dance."

He laughed and went to follow me along, but then he spotted Blondie, whose name I forgot again. "Actually, one moment. I'm sorry I just need to talk to Caroline for a moment. Don't move, I'll be right back."

I pouted a bit but nodded anyway. Since I was standing alone, I began to look around for Rebekah. I didn't see her anywhere, so I began to worry.

Suddenly, I hear a male's English accent behind me. "You look awfully troubled, love. This is a party you should be having fun." As I turned to look at him, I saw he had curled dirty blond hair and light blue eyes.

Based on his familiar features I made a guess. "You're Rebekah's brother, Klaus."

He raised an eyebrow. "How do you know my sister? Also, you know my name, but I have yet to learn yours."

"We're friends." I then saw Matt coming back, so I let out a small smile. "And I'm Eva."

"Well, it was a pleasure to meet you, but I need to get going. Goodbye, little one." As he walked away, I glared at him for the nickname.

Finally, Matt came back. "You know him?" He looked towards Klaus.

I shook my head. "Well, I know he's Rebekah's brother, but that was my first time meeting him."

"Alright then. Anyway, do you still want that dance." He held out his hand to me.

Smiling wide, I grabbed it. "Not just one silly. I plan to have many."

We ended up dancing throughout almost the whole entire time. I had so much fun, that I almost forgot about the plan to get rid of Klaus. I did, however, push it away from the center of my mind so I could enjoy the dance. Just as I glanced around for Rebekah again, as I had been doing every now and then, a slower song started to play. In response, I stepped closer to Matt and leaned my head on him as he repositioned his hand in mine and placed his arm around me.

"Are you having a good time?" He asked me.

I looked up at him. "Of course. In fact, it's been great."

"I'm glad." After he said this, he looked uncertain for a moment. When I was about to ask why, he let go of my hand and cupped my cheek. Out of habit, I bit my lip as he began to lean in. I barely even noticed that we stopped dancing. Suddenly, he grinned and pressed his lips to mine. As we kissed, I put one of my arms around his neck, and the other on his shoulder.

Out of no where, a guy came up to us and yelled for Matt. Matt and I separated from each other as he came closer. I couldn't help but smile a bit from what happened.

The guy reached us and looked at Matt. He had dark hair and dark eyes. "Sorry to interrupt, but I need your help." He then looks at me. "I'm Tyler, by the way."

"Eva." I gave a small wave.

"Oh! Rebekah told me about you. If you don't mind helping too then?"

"Wait, Tyler, you haven't even told us what you want us to do." Matt jumped into the conversation.

"I need you to get Caroline out of here. She's in my room, just follow me." With that he started walking. With a glance at each other, we followed. We ended up following Tyler through the house and up the stairs into his bedroom.

"What'd you do to her?" Caroline was unconscious on the bed.

"It's just vervain. She'll be fine. But I need you to get her out of here as fast as possible." Tyler seemed spazzy for some reason.

"What's going on?" Matt demanded.

"Something`s going down against Klaus and this house is full of hybrids like me that can't let anything happen to him." After hearing this, my eyes widened. Tyler saw this and narrowed his eyes. "You know something." I didn't answer.

Matt interrupted, but not before sending me a questioning look. "What do you mean can't?

"I can't explain it. I can't fight against it. I just know that I need to protect him no matter who gets in my way." What he said sounded familiar.

"Oh!" I yelled out, and they both looked at me. "It's a sire bond."

Tyler and Matt spoke at the same time. Tyler saying, "What the hell is a sire bond?" and Matt saying, "How do you know about this?"

"Rebekah explained everything to me." I decided to answer Matt first. "She said that a sire bond is a type of link between the creator and the creation. It's where the creation, Tyler, follows the direct and indirect orders of their creator, which is Klaus."

They stared at me for a few minutes. "Well, anyway, like I said I have to protect him." Tyler went back to what he said before.

"By attacking Caroline?" Matt pointed to her.

"I'm protecting her, Matt! This is the only way to keep her safe. Please. Just get her out of here safely. Get everyone out." With that, Tyler left and Matt picked up Caroline.

"So, you've known for a while everything that's been going on?" Matt and I were in my room clarifying everything. We came over here after we took Caroline home.

"Yeah. I mean not exactly every person involved, so just the main things." I was playing with the ends of my dress due to being nervous.

"That makes things easier then." He looked at me.

I was confused though. "For what?"

Instead of answering, Matt grabbed the back of my head and smashed out lips together. Almost immediately, I responded by climbing onto his lap to where my legs were on either side of him. We quickly broke apart for air. As we stared at each other, he grinned and I smirked, before our lips met again and again. As they did, things got more and more heated. Our clothes lessened little by little until we were only left in our underwear.

Matt pulled away from me slightly to look at me. The moment slowed down, and my heart began racing. I think Matt understood my nerves, because his eyes widened. He rested his forehead against mine and looked into my eyes. Making a final decision, I bit my lip, which caught his attention, and kissed him hard. Without pulling away, he pushed me down onto my bed with a renewed intensity. With that, all other clothing was discarded along with any doubts or second guesses.
