MARGO was nervous. It was half past six and she has been waiting for Kol for the last ten minutes. Dressed in her red dress and the heels that came with them, she waited. The invitation said that the ball started at seven and she only now realised that Kol never gave her a time. What if her didn't show up? Or worse. What if he did? Would she look pretty enough? Margo wasn't ugly but lets honest here: the Mikaelson's got a very good gene pool and was hot and Kol was the hottest of all - and good lord did he know it.

"I still don't like you going with the most murderous vampire alive." Matt grumbled for the thousand time as he entered the living room where Margo waited as she rolled her eyes. Again.

"Yeah, you've mentioned that like a thousand times and for the thousandth time: I'm not changing my mine." She told him and he huffed as he crossed his arms over his chest, looking uncomfortable but still very nice.

"You look handsome twin." Margo complimented with a smile.

"You too. He better keep his hands to himself or I'll hit him, no matter if his an Original vampire." Matt said completely seriously and Margo knew he would. Just like she would protect him from girls, he would protect her from guys but for some reason she doesn't believe Kol will hurt her.

The door bell rang and Margo made her way to the door but if was neither one of the Donavon siblings' date. Neither bothered to hide their disappointment.

"Oh, its you." Margo said and the smile dropped from her face as she looked at Damon. The vampire was awestruck by how beautiful she looked, he often thought about dating or sleeping with her but she rejected him and he knew Matt would stake him in his sleep.

"Well, geez. Don't hide your excitement." He said in his typical sarcastic Damon like way.

"What do you want?" She asked him sternly. If she could help it, she avoided him like one would avoid  the plague.

"I want you to get some information from Kol, word is your going with him." He said bluntly and Margo narrowed her eyes and Matt sighed. Damon said the wrong thing because along with that kind side of her came loyalty and it doesn't matter if she just met you, you automatically get it but once you lose it? That's the tricky part.

"No." She stated and Damon grew annoyed. He grabbed her by the arm, the arm she punched Elena with, and pulled her out of the house. She winced from his tight grip and as she tried to pull from it, he just grabbed her tighter.

"Damon! Let her go." Matt said, an uncontrollable anger in him. He would die before he let someone hurt her. The vampire was about to open his mouth and threaten her when suddenly Damon was pinned to the side of the door.

"If you value your life, you won't lay a hand on her ever again." Said the voice of Rebekah and Margo had never been so relieved to hear her blonde friend. She stepped outside the house and saw Damon with Rebekah's hand wrapped around his throat.

"She's just a human. What do you care?" He asked as he struggled but she only tightens her grin.

"I do care. She's my friend. And more than that, she is under the protection of my entire family so keep you hands off her." The Original vampire told the younger one. She was not about to let her brother, lose his mate and she knew for a fact that the family would agree a with what she said. Matt's eyes widened but he didn't say anything because all he wanted was for his sister to be safe because he wouldn't survive losing another.

"I suggest you leave, or you get to deal with Kol's wrath." She told him as she let him go and pointed to a limousine that is pulling up. They saw another standing there as well, presumably Rebekah's. Damon whooshed away.

Rebekah gave Matt the signal to leave and he followed her once Margo gave him a nod, indicating that she will be fine with Kol. She knew she would be safe with him but she didn't know why, she just knew. Matt got in his truck, wanting to drive home when he wanted and Rebekah in her limousine. At the party when they were together, Matt asked:

"How do you know he won't hurt her?" He questioned to female Original, worried.

"Trust me, Matt, Kol would sacrifice himself before he lets anything happen to you sister." She assured him and he dropped the subject, happy with the answer. For now.

Back at the house, Kol got out of the car Klaus got for him and as the two set eyes on one another, they stared at one another and had trouble breathing as they looked at the other. The two finally came out of their trance and Kol walked forward.

"Love, you look breathtaking." He told the little human once he regained his brain function and stood next to her on the porch. Her cheeks flushed and she looked down.

"Thank you. You look very handsome." She complimented and the Vampire grinned from ear to ear. He was so happy about the compliment that he forgot to inflate his ego.

"Shall we?" He asked, extending his left arm meaning that she would give him the one Damon grabbed and it was still hurting. Taking a breath, she laced it and then she tripped but luckily an pair of arms with a strong grip caught her. Not so luckily? He gripped her sore arm and she let out a yelp. Panic went through Kol, thinking he hurt her.

"I'm so sorry." The Original apologised.

"No, its not you. It's my arm." She told him and only after the words where out did he regret them because now he wil ask.

"What is wrong with your arm?" He questioned in concern and Margo sighed. She told him about how she punched Elena and he chuckles at that but when she told him about Damon, all he wanted to do was rip his head of.

His words, not hers.

After assuring him she's fine, they went to the party but Kol kept it in the back of his mind to threaten the younger vampire. Arriving was a success and not to many people stared at them. All was going well until Elijah announced that is was time for a waltz and Margo groaned silently.

"Care to dance, darling?" Kol, who only left her side once, asked from besides her.

"No really, no, I hate dancing." She told him and he grinned as she scrunched up her nose like the air smelt distastefully.

"Come on, its only one dance." He asked nicely with a real smile instead of a smirk and Margo melted.

"Okay." She whispered as she stared into his eyes, capture by them. He took her gloved hand and led her info the ballroom.

As soon as Give me love by Ed Sheeran started, so did the waltz. All of the save Elena gang's eyes nearly fell out of their heads once they saw the most innocent human in town, dancing with one of the most dangerous vampires alive.

"What is she doing here with him?" Caroline questioned Klaus in her usual judging manner. "It's bad enough she hangs out with you, now your brother as well." She added on and Klaus felt a little saddend by her words.

"You know, love, I do have feelings. And I can assure you that Kol would rip apart whoever dreamed of misplacing a hair on her head." He told her as she spun her into someone else's arms. Her and everyone who was listen, eyes widened and wondered: why did a human girl matter so much to an Original vampire?

Kol decide to change to course and didn't spin her away. He couldn't and didn't want someone else to hold her.

"Uh, I'm pretty sure you should have spinned me to someone else." She said with a giggle as people stared at them.

"I don't want to let go of you." He told her simply. "Is that a crime?" He asked her with a grin.

"No, I suppose not." She told him with a wide smile as the dance ended.

"Thank you, mi'lady." He told her and bowed with a childish grin on his face.

"My pleasure, kind sir." She told him, playing along and she giggled as they got back up. As Rebekah signaled him, Kol excused himself from Margo and went to talk to his sister. In a daze of jealousy Rebekah asked him to help her kill her date, Matt, and not knowing that he is Margo's brother, Kol agreed.

Later on, Rebekah changed her mind after she calmed down and Matt was kind to her. He decided that his sister was weak for caring about a human. He didn't think it was the same with Margo because he only liked her company he didn't care about her, or so he thought.

"He's gonna hurt you, you know." The voice of Damon Salvatore said besides Margo when she was watching the party by her lonesome, waiting for Kol. Rolling her eyes she turned to him and raised an eyebrow. Damon listened in an heard Kol with her twin and smirked.

"I'll prove it to you." He said and pushed her until she told him she'll walk with him. They walked around a few corners and when Margo saw her brother lying on the ground and Kol standing above him, she grew furious.

"Easy on the hand. Guy's a quarterback." Damon said and Kol spinned to them. His eyes widened as he saw the furious look on Margo's face. She walked right past him and keeled next to her brother.

"You okay Matty?" She questioned and it was as if someone poured cold water down Kol's back. It finally came together as he realised  that the Matty, her brother, she talked about earlier that day and Matt Donavon, the guy he wanted to kill, is the same person.

"Margo-" He started but she didn't even look at him. He hurt her twim and that was enough to anger her.

"Don't." She told him sternly and help up a hand as she helped up her brother and went to leave. Kol wanted to follow her but Damon rushed at him and pushed him off the balcony and jumps after him. In shock, Margo ran towards the balcony to see Damon beat up Kol and snap his neck. For some reason Margo wanted to kill Damon for hurting Kol but when Matt called her, she remembered what he did and in her anger, she walked away and went home with her brother.
