CHAPTER 7

A Problematic Partnership

Caroline Forbes had certainly been greeted before, Hello, hi were common courtesy pleasantries that she used and received on a daily basis. Though it was a fact that through most of her late childhood and teen years it was an absolute agony for her to be able to greet people, she used to dread facing people even talking to them gave her a full blown panic attack and not to forget the night mares she used to have where she would re-live what her vermin uncle would force himself on her.

But she had fought hard against her trepidation, rebelled against her insecurities and emerged from the most excruciating incident in her life like Phoenix from ashes. And now she was gutsy enough to meet people and interact with them without spiraling into an anxiety attack followed by an episode of a catatonia.

Psychiatrists and Counsellers say when you face something dreadful than talking about it helps but it quite contrary in her case. Talking about it gave her jitters and to be honest she felt mortified and guilty.

With the exception of Jules no body knew the exact extent of her injuries both physical and emotional and she wasn't ready to share it with anyone anytime soon.

She had come a long way from being the mousy and hysterical teenager who constantly looked over her shoulder. Now she could talk laugh enjoy as long as she kept it all locked in the recesses of her mind.

Hence when Klaus Mikealson came up behind her and greeted her in that husky voice of his, she wasn't scared but what she felt was an altogether a different set of emotions.

He just said "Hello Caroline" and nothing else but why did she feel he was seducing her.

Caroline slowly then took out the head band out of her bag tied her hair and purposely kept him waiting and turned.

A capital letter DAMN he had the most sexy dimples decorating his rougish smile. She was aware that British accent was HAWT it was British guys prerogative but it was just that the way he said her name like savoring it and rolling the R of Caroline around his tongue as if he was enjoying a chocolate eclair.

Seriously all these thoughts of tongue, chocolate and rolling were making her hot and bothered so mentally, vigorously shook herself and replied as if nonchalant and not the least bit ensconced by his Effing Dimples and his Effing Accent and said, " Hello Klaus. What are you doing in the beginner's session I thought you were a senior here. "

"Well to say the least you can refer to me as your new dance partner. "

"What? " Caroline didn't get a chance to complete her inquiry as Joe entered the Hall.

"Okay, by now you all must have met your dance partners and hopefully are well enough acquainted that you'll get along just dandy. Also if anyone has a problem work it out yourselves don't come running to the instructor like a 4th grader. "

"And oh Niklaus you're here. Excellent." Then she paused and asked, " Any questions? "

"Yes I have a few questions actually. "Rose said.

"Okay. Shoot. " Joe replied.

"This semester the instructors have decided to train us in pairs. My only concern was will our dance partners be the same for the whole semester or are you gonna change them? And also will we have all our classes in pairs? "

Joe smiled and answered, "The partners will change every two months but by the end of two months if you're comfortable and do not wish to change than you won't have to but this bit about two month plan is still not concrete and it basically depends on how well your learning and motivating each other as partners. You will be evaluated every two weeks which will let us know about your growth as a dancer and if pairing you up with the people standing next to you was in your case a good idea or not. As to your next question no not for all the classes. In basic learning classes you'll be individually assessed the partners are for the interactive classes. Anything else? "Joe ended her speech with a question.

"So this week our main focus will be contemporary. I want all you of to prepare a contemporary routine of like a minute for tomorrow's class and it does not have to be strictly contemporary you can improvise it. I'll see you all tomorrow. "

With that Joe then left.

All the other students picked up their belongings and started moving out of the Hall.

Klaus who standing silently beside Caroline till now turned towards her and remarked, "Well what do you suggest we should do about this predicament? "

"What predicament? "Caroline asked.

"The routine our lovely instructor asked us to prepare. " Klaus replied with an undertone of sarcasm.

"I think we should first come up with a list of potential songs we can dance to. Then I can improvise a few steps according to the song. We have to do this by tomorrow, so as I don't have anymore classes today, we should start on it right away." Caroline launched into an animated speech all the while using hand gestures for emphasis as the moved out of the Hall and towards the main corridor.

" I'm leaning towards some 90s classic you know Dirty Dancing, Grease theme. It'll be different. I think we should also mark the time you know make a time table so we can efficiently navigate through all of this. I'm even thinking I'll colour code the songs so it'll be more time saving. Oh wait I have to take my other bag from my locker. "Then stopping at the set of lockers she started fishing out keys from her handbag. Taking out the keys she opened the locker and she looked at Klaus who was laughing like a goon now."What? "

Smothering his laugh he said, "Nothing, nothing. "

"Are you mocking me? "Caroline asked incensed.

"No. "

"Its not funny. "

"I know I know. "

"Then stop laughing. "

"Sure love in a minute. "

"Fine keep on laughing. I'm leaving. " Caroline took out her other bag from the locker, slammed its door with the bang and turned to leave.

Sudden panic saturated every pore of Klaus's body. He gently grasped her elbow to cease her from leaving. Where Caroline was concerned every emotion bombarded him with a fervency and ardor that always shook him to his pernicious core.

He gave her a repentant look and let out an apology, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. "

Caroline saw the radical change in his demeanor and forthwith softened, "It's no biggie but Klaus I really need to come out on top in this one, this is once in a lifetime chance for me and I don't want it to go kaput. "

He gave a dimple-ridden relieved smile that always jiggled Caroline's innards. If only he knew what that smile did to her Oh God would he have a field day.

"Don't think I'm a doddle ok I forgave you easily for an entirely different reason. "

He cracked up at her attempt at British slang. She recognized that and gathered, "What did I say that wrong? "

"Not exactly but a doddle is like you say it's a piece of cake if I were to say you were a pushover which bless me I won't I would say a "mug" or a "patsy". "

"Thankyou. "

When she said thankyou she did something cute with her nose and eyes like a crunching of her nose almost similar to Samantha in "Bewitched" Klaus wondered what would be her reaction if he were to kiss her there and then would she be aghast, disgusted or would she just do that adorable nose thing again.

"Would you care to venture that reason you forgave me oh so easily for, love? " he asked.

Caroline replied, " Oh yeah it was because of that sketch you gave me. Um.. Um... It was really fab. "

Klaus could see she was self conscious now as she tucked a loose tendril of her waist-length hair behind her ear. She was really bewitching, each nuance of her endeared her to him much more.

Viewing the intensity in his spell binding eyes Caroline continued the rest of her sentence in a reverent whisper, "It was absolutely magnificent. I felt truly beautiful. Thank you again. "

"It was my utmost pleasure. " Klaus confessed.

Caroline in an effort to lessen the intensity of their emotions that she could feel reverbrating in the aura around them exclaimed, "Good. Well great. So I was saying please you have to co operate with me I need to ace it. I think we should go somewhere else to discuss our strategy regarding this assignment. "

She made it sound like a mission using the word strategy Klaus wondered and quipped, "Your wish is my command, love. "

#################

Fifteen minutes later they were sitting in the front lawn under a tree and by that time Caroline had already foregone of her 90s theme and had decided that they would prepare a routine on an Ed Sheeran song "Give Me Love".

She was at the time asking Klaus if he knew a place where they could prepare their routine.

"So do you know any open places where we could practice our routine? "

"Sweetheart we still have to come up with a routine. " Klaus replied.

"I know that's why I'm saying it'd be more convenient if we found a place and started on it asap. "

"I know a place. Come on. " Klaus got up with agility and offered his hand to her. She placed her hand in his, he practically lifted her off from the ground and she ended up almost within an inch of space between them. Klaus glanced in her eyes and with her inky blue eyes on him for a minute forgot his trail of thoughts when at the same moment water sprinklers came on and both were soaked with water again and Caroline sighed, "Not again. "

(MEANWHILE)

"Oh my god Beks I have the greatest piece of news for you. " Hayley uber exhilarant announced.

"Its Rebekah for you Hayley only my family or dear ones can call me that. " Rebekah replied haughtily."Now don't shut up there spit it out would you? "

"Yes. Do you know Enzo is back? " Hayley informed her while the were strolling through the main corridors around the perimeters of the main lawn.

Hayley was on Rebekah's right while Camille was walking with her on her left.

"I also saw him today morning going to Sheila's office. I wanted to tell you but I heard that Klaus was that new girl's dance partner and it totally bummed me and I kinda forgot. But I saw it first and told it to Hayley. " Camille chattered trying to win Rebekah's favor.

"What new girl? " Rebekah asked all the while feigning insouciance at the mention of Enzo's return.

"Caroline Forbes. " Hayley answered.

"You missed the auditions so you don't know. But she's really good. I've even heard some of the instructors say that she's even more talented than Rebekah Mikealson. "Hayley continued well aware that she was riling up Rebekah against Caroline projecting her own jealousy and malice for Caroline onto Rebekah.

Rebekah made a face as if she had ingested a bitter pill and remarked, "Well is she now? She certainly deserves a bally-hoo for that. We'll definitely have to congratulate her then, it wouldn't be very hospitable of us if we didn't, now would it? "

Hayley and Camille exchanged a victorious look with one another which went unnoticed by Rebekah.

Camille said, "Rebekah we have to leave for Alaric's class. We'll see you later sweets. Bye"

The three of them traded air kisses with Hayley and Camille leaving. Rebekah then turned when she happened to see her brother with the blonde in question standing in the front garden.

The taste of the bitter pill regurgitated as she saw them hurriedly leaving together as the water sprinklers came on.

The luminescence of elation she had felt at the prospect of Enzo returning was shadowed by Caroline's spotlight status.

Rebekah wasn't a jealous creature in toto but she was immensely possessive about her family and painfully emulous when she desired to be and this girl was really asking for it she ruminated and vowed to herself that she would fix this Caroline situation.

"Wow that was really breathtaking Klaus Caroline well done guys. "Joe applauded as they finished their routine.

"I don't mean to discourage anybody but people who really need to work on their dynamics are Liv and Tyler and Luka and Qetsiyah. You were good but there's something lacking in the coordination department. I can give you some extra time and pointers if you are interested after class. "

"Again Klaus I'm so glad you decided to take dancing seriously. Guess it was a good desicion to partner you with Forbes."

Then conversing with rest of the class she said, " I'll see you all of you tomorrow. Please be in time. "

Klaus and Caroline then walked out of the class together and Caroline's delight was visibly rolling off of her.

"Did you hear that? She said It was breathtaking, like b-reath-taking. " Caroline said breaking the word into 3 syllables she carried on, "I'm so happyyyyyy. "

Klaus smiled and exclaimed , "I can see that, love. "

"We make a good team don't we? Thank you again. Although I shouldn't thank you it was your assignment too you know. " Caroline said, stopped at her locker, she put her bag in it and then faced him when Klaus stood next to her and said, " In that case no thankyou to you too."

"Yeah. " Caroline sighed.

Both of them didn't want to leave just then were looking for an excuse to stay, if they could somehow stretch these short moments between them to centuries if only the time would call a halt so they could have another second an hour a lifetime together, when their search was fruitless, both uttered the same words at the same time,

"I'll see you tomorrow in class. "

They then moved closer to a window in the hallway when the janitor washing the window accidentally sloshed soap water on them. Caroline let out a laughing "Seriously" and shook her head.

Klaus then remarked "I guess that's my cue to leave. With the fluid forces of nature against us I don't suppose I should risk it. "

Both chuckled at that, left in opposite directions and turned to look back at each other almost three times without the other espying it, till they were no longer in each other's view.

###############

Caroline entered the cafe and went straight towards the table where Bonnie and Katherine were already sitting apparently discussing someone named Enzo.

"So he had joined the semester with you and left a week later because of family emergency and now is back? " Katherine asked Bonnie.

Caroline said her hi's to both and received a hello from Bonnie and a shreiky Hoe from Katherine.

Bonnie then proceeded to answer Katherine, "Yes. And guess what our very own BMW has a gigantic crush on him. "

"Well that proves Bitch Bekah is not dead inside even if she only has sensations in her eviginal regions. " Katherine mocked.

"Hey Care how was your routine? " Bonnie inquired.

"Yeah how was it Dancing with the Devil? "

"Joe literally was floored by our performance. Plus Klaus isn't that bad. "Caroline replied.

"Oh phuleez, that's like saying death doesn't kill you. " Katherine commented.

Caroline victoriously distracted Katherine by mentioning Enzo, "So who is this Enzo? "

"A British exchange student, came here 4 months ago but left after a week and is back now. Since he is quite a hunky piece of man-meat half of the Academy's girls have gone berserk. I even heard some dunderhead even stuck her bra in his locker with a note that read " Enzo I don't know how my favorite bra made its way into your locker, I'm absolutely confused without it please return it to me on this address " with her address on it. Like I mean come on know shit from shinola would you? What kind of brick head would be confused without their bra? It's a bra not a brain. "

Caroline cracked up at that but Bonnie seemed to be figuring out a puzzle and scolded, "Katherine have some compassion. Maybe she did lose it or maybe she really was confused meant to write "brain" and forgot to write the remaining "in".

"What? Are you yanking my chain right now? Bonnie, So what did she want him to donate his brain to her wrapped in her bra or what? "

Katherine replied pointing at Bonnie "I get it you're one of those? "

"One of one what? "Bonnie asked.

"One of those who have Atelophobia, that's right in your face Bonnie Bennett I can also pyscho analyse the shit out of you. "Kat remarked.

"Wrong that's a fear of being not good enough or imperfection. And I don't have that. "Bonnie replied.

"You totally do. I mean for a second there you totally came to that braless chicks aid thinking it wouldn't be "good enough" of you if you actually laughed at her antiqs so just like in your classic atelophobic way you ruined our fun. Top that Miss Judgmentality. "

"Oh my god Katherine that is such a crock. You're taking that completely out of context. Atelophobia is something else entirely. "Bonnie spat out her reply.

"All I can hear is I won you lost Bennett. " Katherine declared.

"Ughh, Stop laughing Caroline and tell her. " Bonnie said recruiting Caroline's help.

Caroline fruitlessly suppressed her laugh and amidst her chuckle chocked out "Bonnies right, you know."

"You're siding with her. I thought Katholine was an immortal love. "Kat asked.

"Seriously Katherine, What is with you and mashup names? Besides your both my friends I love you both and it's not about sides Katholiner. "

"Aww so we're like Bokatholine. "

"I refuse to be that. Sounds like a pesticide."Caroline replied.

"I'd rather be an Atelophobe then bokath., bokather, bokthline. I can't even pronounce it. "Bonnie added.

"You guys are so ungrateful. I've worked so hard for this trio's name and this is how I get repayed. "Katherine whined.

"We really appreciate the last half nanosecond you spent to make this trio a success. I'm humbled Katherine. "Caroline put one hand on her heart and with the other wiped an illusory tear.

Bonnie laughed at that and Katherine slapped Caroline's arm.

"And here I thought Katholine was immortal. " Caroline piped.

"Onto a different subject those vicious rumors about me and Elijah died their natural painful death."said Bonnie.

"I know, I didn't know people still did such things even when you're no longer teenagers. "Caroline commented.

"Well what do you expect? Teenagers are nincompoops they don't know nothing but professional competition it's life or death, babes. "Katherine furthered.

Bonnie then got up from the table and said, "Well finally something out of Kats mouth that isn't half-baked dippy piece of logic like we heard before but anyways guys I'll see you later I have a class right now."

Caroline wished her goodbye whereas Katherine gave a parting comment about her knocking em dead with her Atelophobic ass.

####################

Elijah approached Sheila Bennett's office with a purpose in his stride. He had garnered a rather unsavory bit of information regarding his younger step-brother and Caroline Forbes. The same Caroline Forbes whom he had rigorously implored to join the Academy and whom he was counting on to get him new sponsors and funds for his Academy, as her talent was unparalleled among the new lot of students they had accepted this fall.

Twas a fact that she wasn't the only one who was proficient where dancing was a relevant matter but her ingenuity and passion for dance was exceptional and he if were to provide her a vade mecum for dance in the form of this Academy she would metamorphose into a pundit and a prodigy of dance.

Hence he was incensed when he gleaned word about her being Niklaus's partner. This would thoroughly torpedo his best laid plans as he was well versed on the book that Niklaus Mikealson was and he (Niklaus) had a tendency to wreak havoc around him because of his insecurities.

So foregoing all manner of courtesy he opened the door of her office and without any formal greeting immediately stated the matter at hand, "Sheila I happened upon the most bizarre rumor that you paired up Niklaus and Miss Forbes together as partners. Forgive me if I sound insolent or you feel I'm questioning your authority but I believe you should instantaneously redress that. "

"Why Eli, it's nice to see you too. "Sheila mocked taking off her glasses and getting up from her chair behind her desk continued, "You Mikealsons really have a knack for words and voicing your opinions. You managed to apologize and question my authority in the same breath. And that bizarre rumor is accurate I'm responsible for their pairing. "

"Might I ask what possessed you to follow through with such a hair brained theory?"

Elijah questioned.

"Well for once if you happened upon the rumor then you must also know that Niklaus has actually started taking a genuine interest in the classes. Considering this I'd say it's not as hairbrained as you make it sound. "

"But you are not aware of the inner workings of Niklaus as I am... I. "

Sheila put up her hand and interrupted, "Im going to interrupt you and before you list all the reasons why you think this is a bad idea. Let me say this. You have been a precious part of our Academy for the last two years and now you're doing wonders as a part of the administration but your siblings do not take this seriously. It's been six months since you and Mikeal decided to move the family from London and I haven't been able to break through to them especially Niklaus. They are magnificent dancers as they inherited that from Esther, they know that and take this like a walk in the park. Well Kol and Rebekah at times pay attention when they want to but Niklaus is a different matter either he takes this as a joke or considers this an opportunity to rebel but he has never pushed himself or worked hard prior to Miss Forbes. I saw that the day he helped her with her audition and decided to make use of his devotion for her. Now I couldn't care less if it's romantic or platonic but he is finally taking an interest and it's enough for me. "

"So you are just exploiting his devotion to her? "Elijah questioned with an undertone of anger.

"Aren't you taking advantage of her passion for dance? Eli. "Sheila replied with a bite in her voice.

"That's another matter entirely. "

"I don't think so. You are wrong trying to make me look bad. I'm merely trying to fulfill the promise I made to Esther on her deathbed. During her last days of chemotherapy she realized she had made grave mistake where Niklaus was concerned giving him up for fear of Mikeal hating her and she wished that she could somehow undo her wrongdoings but it was already too late. Hence she asked me to look out for him. If you think this is me using him so be it but Esther wanted to see him make something out of his life and he has started to even if the motivation behind that is Miss Forbes. " Sheila professed and came to stand in front of Elijah.

"Well that's really charitable of you but I think I nonetheless am going to take care of this minor inconvenience myself as I religiously believe that Niklaus is bound to wreck this and I'd rather he doesn't drown my star pupil along with his sinking ship. " Elijah announced.

Sheila who by now had first hand knowledge that is was practically of no use trying to argue with a Mikealson let out a sigh and asked, "So you're going change their partners?"

"That's a given but I'm also going to have to have a conversation with my brother. "Elijah replied.

As Elijah turned to leave she advised him, "Whatever you do don't do something you'll regret later on. "

With one last contemplative glance and a nod Elijah left.

##################

Rebekah Mikealson was currently sitting in the Academy's cafe with two of her brothers both in twin poses with their feet cross legged on the table on her either side because it was a well known fact that she always preferred to be the epicenter of attention.

Her irksome and cussed brother was at the moment making sheep eyes at every girl in the cafe punctuated by a comment about her knockers or butt.

And the other more perfervid and hot blooded brother was busy scrolling photos through his phone.

She let out a sigh to hint that she coveted their attention but both were unrelenting and kept on with their own businesses.

In a show of tetchiness she knocked their feet of the table and ululated, "You're both arse's, I bowed out of my plans with Hayley and Camille just so I can spend time with my brothers and you don't a give monkeys if I'm sitting here or not. And Nick you're the most wretched one. Where did you even get that gutterscag Carolines' photos? "

"It would be wise off you to not utter another foul word about Caroline as your well aware of the extent of my anger. Besides I took them without her knowledge because I wish to paint her. It's an artist's privilege if you must know."

"Oh in love with her already brother are you? But before setting a date why don't you inquire if your future wife is shagging up with somebody else? " at Klaus's curious look she said, " I hate to be the messenger from Hell but she's dating Elijah I saw her at Hotel La Pierre last week relishing a full course meal with him, made me wonder if she even had the ken of a full course meal. "Rebekah replied with a devilish twinkle in her eye but Kol focused on something completely off-centre got up and standing in front of Klaus said, "You have her photos in your phone, dogsbollocks brother."

And with an expert slight of his hand took Klaus's phone and began scrolling through it and leered, "Tasty little thing. "

In a trice Klaus snatched his phone back and latched on Kols collar with a minatory look in his eyes said, "Say another word and I'll tear out your liver. "

"Easy there brother I was just admiring a beauty you know viewers privilege if you must."

"Kol you are an absolute creep and someday you might die at my hands. "

"Not the death threats again, can't you come up with something Original like the name of our group bro. "

"FYI Nik you're no better. You have officially joined Kol the creepsters bandwagon with you secretly taking her photos. You stalker-pervert-artists-privilege-freak. "

At Rebekah's reprimand Klaus looked adorably admonished and with an aggravated growl said, "Fine I'll delete those."

And swallowing an invisible lump and ignoring the clench on his heart he said, "I know she's dating Elijah."

They were still bickering when Elijah approached them and said "Niklaus I need to have a urgent word with you. "

Klaus replied,

"I'll remind you Elijah I said something along the lines of not desiring to converse with you until I deem it an absolute necessity, brother. "

"Niklaus right now and this time I'm the one who won't hesitate on creating a scene. "

"Brava, admire your rare exhibition of temper mate. So for this I'll listen to whatever nuisance you have to utter. "

"I need a favor. "

Klaus gave out a snicker, "Oh how the mighty have fallen. So what can I do you for? "

"I need you to maintain your distance from Caroline Forbes. "

"Well you never cease to surprise me brother. When have I ever actually given a damn regarding your paltry wants? What makes you think that I would de facto heed it this time around? Plus I know you're dating her. Come to mark your territory, eh? Don't have any confidence in your girlfriend now do you ?" Klaus spat.

"Niklaus you really irk me the way you turn your habit of circumlocution into a ceremony. Don't skirt around just tell me do I need to worry about Caroline, do you promise to stay away? "Elijah asked clearly rankled by Klaus's reply.

"I promise no such thing. You're on your own with this one. Now you're excused brother before I make a scene and you have another fly in the ointment to deal with. "Saying that Klaus went back to sit back the place he had occupied earlier and began to scroll through his phone again.

Elijah left in a pisser of a mood. Rebekah and Kol who were watching the entire encounter transfixed went back to where Klaus was sitting.

Kol then remarked, " When did you chop off your todger? Mate. "

Rebekah who was serenely sipping her soda she had ordered earlier choked on it. And Klaus literally looked as if someone had kicked him in the googlies.

"Cor blimey, Why would you ask such a thing?"

Rebekah asked positively shellshocked.

"Because Elijah said he made a ceremony out of his circumlocution isn't that the thing where they saw off your willy? " Kol replied.

Rebekah answered with disgust, "Youre really off your trolley. That's circumsicion you dimwit and circumlocution means to be vague about something. I'm outta here. "Saying that she left Klaus and Kol.

##################

Rebekah had left the cafe in a grungy mood. Seeing Caroline and Katherine coming from the other direction of the main alley she perked up because now she had a bullseye to unleash her hissy fit at.

She strode towards them with a renewed vigor and intercepted them.

"Well well if it isn't 304 and 305. " referring

to them as sluts.

"And look Care we are in the esteemed company of queen of cumdumpsters oh wait you already call yourself bitch so yeah m gonna go with that. " Katherine replied.

Rebekah smiled and continued, "Katherine you think that offends me. It doesn't nettle me in the least. Besides you're irrelevant in this conversation I'm going to have a heart to heart with our very own new Mikealson fuck-bunny. So Caroline do you want to do this in private or in front of... whatever we'll do it here. "

Caroline was seething now but she wouldn't give Rebekah the she-demon the satisfaction of seeing her in a lather. So she just tried to walk past her but it made Rebekah hot under the collar and lividly she intercepted her again, "You do not leave until I'm done talking to you."

"As a matter of fact I can. Let's go Katherine."

"Just because Elijah warranted a place for you here doesn't make you special. And a few instructors think you're marginally okay you think you can mouth off like that with me."

Rebekah spout off.

"Hey back off... "saying that Katherine came forward and was halted by Rebekah.

"Katherine I told you, you were irrelevant. "

"Don't Katherine she's not worth even us ignoring her much less a confrontation." Caroline replied putting a restraining Katherine's arm.

"That's right Kat listen to mama. Besides I'm way more worth than your insignificant lives and I'm certainly much more of an accomplished dancer than you. "

"Is that right? Well an accomplished dancer wouldn't have to trumpet it around like you do, Rebekah. But anyway whatever makes you sleep better at night. I believe you have taken enough of our time. Let's leave Kat. " Caroline flipped her long golden hair back and turned towards Katherine fully intending to leave.

But Rebekah forestalled them once again, "If you have such lofty opinion of yourself why don't you prove it. You and me a dance duel one on one. Oh let me make it a piece if old tackle for you. Both of you against me and Hayley." Rebekah purposely challenged them intending to scare them off but to her utmost consternation Caroline approached her with a cat's grace and came nose to nose with Rebekah and said, "Your on bitch. "

#######################

A/N : I know a Dance duel... doesn't it sound exciting.

Who else is wondering what Elijah's gonna do now that Klaus dissed him.

And Enzo, are you exhilarated for his appearance.

Next up : Dance duel, Elijah's plan and Enzo how will he affect KC...
