Today is the day of the Mikaelson Ball and I can officially say I'm in limbo. I don't know whether I'm nervous, dreading it, or just excited. Whatever it is, it's giving me a bit of a stomach ache. Oh well...

I already woke up and it's about four pm - I had a late night last night. Don't judge. I had a snack - just enough, so I can fit in my dress - and now I am in my room sitting in the bed looking at the wall. I don't really feel like getting ready. Maybe I'll be fashionably late

Make an entrance. Or not. I don't know.

Ok. I need to get ready. I stand up and go to the toilet to take a shower. After my much-needed and relaxed shower where I may or may not have sung Eye of the Tiger with the help of my conditioner to my shampoos...

Afterward, I got into my dress. I'll explain how it is. It's a black dress. It's long and has spaghetti straps. Not literal spaghetti. Just straps. Then the dress has a slit on the left side that goes up to my thigh. It's beautiful and HOT.

After getting into my gorgeous dress I grabbed my black stilettos and changes my hair. I made it into a messy bun with some hairs framing my face and a light shade of brown. Then to finalize my look, I put on earnings with a black translated crystal and a necklace with the same jewel.
I am officially ready - already did my makeup BTW.

Fucking finally.

Then I look at the time. Oops, it took longer than I thought. I'll be late. I could just apparate... Hmm...

Fine. I'll witchy which myself there. Urghh... The work...

After a long and exhausting apparition that really just took about a second, I find myself in the Mikaelsons's bathroom. Thank God no one was here. That would be awkward... Anyway, I check myself in the mirror again and then open the door and walk to the ballroom. It was pretty big and already full of people. So I did what everyone who doesn't want to find people does, I got mixed into the crowd.

I'm not saying I don't want to hang out with anyone but today I'm not feeling my best... Who knows why? The thing is I just want to be on the couch eating ice cream and seeing My Cousin Vinny over and over again... Hmmm maybe I could do that. Could I possibly create a clone of myself and leave it at the party? Ooh, I bet I could do it and then-

"Uh, if everyone could gather, please," Elijah says cutting my train of thoughts. I see him standing in the staircase along with his siblings. Even Finn. He came back after finding Sage. Anyway, Elijah is now giving his short welcome wagon speech. "Welcome, thank you for joining us. You know, whenever our family comes together like this, it's tradition for us to commence the evening with a dance." I look around the room and spot every one of my friends. Bonnie is chatting with Enzo and I'm fangirling. Davina, Jer, and Ty are also standing together (they have this cute-ass sibling relationship!). Then Steffy is standing with Caroline but totally staring at Becky! With all this creepy stalking my friends I totally missed the Original creepily watching me, "Tonight's pick is a centuries-old waltz, so if all of you could please find yourselves a partner, please join us in the ballroom."

Then everybody looks away as the extremely attractive siblings elegantly step down the stairs and I elegantly go grab myself a drink from the probably compelled waiter. I thanked him and then turned myself to watch the people dance. I wonder how that would be like. Knowing how to dance without looking like a penguin giving birth... Hmmm.

"Why are you creepily watching the dancers, El?" I hear a voice ask and I grin at the voice.

"I was wondering how it would be like to know how to dance," I say and Ty (the voice) laughs.

"True. You were never good at dancing." He nods in agreement.

"Well, that's an understatement." I snort and he laughs more. "Why don't you have a date, Ty? Weren't you hanging out with that Felicity or Felicia girl?"

"It's Gracie. And I was. Didn't work out." He shrugs and I give him an apologetic smile.

"Well, who's the next one?"

"Um... I don't know. That Macy girl from our school is pretty cool." Ty says.

"Cool? Or hot?"

"Does it really matter?" Tyler laughs and I shake my head in amusement then he notices a dumb blond waving him over, "Excuse me Eloise but I got to go." He says and I laugh.

"It's Ellie, you dick!" I yell at him and he laughs. I shake my head then put my drink down and decide to go to the balcony where Day was supposed to get his neck snapped by Koll. Right? When I get there I look at the stars and I hum in satisfaction. The night is chilly but so refreshing. I'm sooo bored. Is this how these parties are supposed to be? Where's the food? Milkshakes? Jello shots? Cheeseburgers... What I would give for one. But! I have to be here... For at least an hour. And it's been... uh... ten minutes?

"Well, this is boring..." I mutter to myself.

"Couldn't have said it better, darling." Someone stated from behind me and I turn around to see Kol coming into the balcony and I smile. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just not in the mood." I say with a shrug.

"Well, I'm itching to kill something." He says and I smirk.

"Do you want to kill my boredom? Or you could just snap my neck, it's not like I'll die." I mumble, "Or you could just kill some random ass person. Like one of schools' bitches." Oh yeah, BTW I still go to school. But I must say my attendance isn't the best.

"I could do that or we could dance." He smirks and I shake my head.

"I don't dance."

"No. You can't dance." He smirks and I look away.

"How about we jump off the roof?" I ask.

"You want to jump off the roof, darling?"

"Why not? We're unkillable. The only thing that could happen is getting unconscious for a few minutes." I shrug and he laughs.

"You truly are bored, darling." He says but then looks at me and says "Or you're just covering up for everything."

"Look, as much as I like you, Kol, I'm not about to have a heart to heart." I huff and he smirks.

"I didn't say I wanted to. I'm not really good at those either." He says and then grins, "You said you liked me?"

"Duh."

"Well, I like you too, darling."

"You better. We're friends." I say and his face falters a bit, "Anywho, I decided not to jump off the roof."

"What a shame..." He says sarcastically and I laugh, "Can I ask you something?"

"Ask away Koala bear."

"Are you a Goddess?" He asks bluntly and I choke on my spit (real classy right?).

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Come on, darling, you heard me." He smirks.

"Wha- How?"

"Your blood. Ichor. It smells like nectar and ambrosia. I bet it's golden."

"Never really saw it actually. I'll attend to that at home. Don't really want to be slicing myself in the middle of a party."

"Arent you going to tell me how in bloody hell are you a Goddess?" He asks and I sigh then go up to him and cup his face with my hand. His eyes go blank and his head falls against my hand for a few moments until he's back up again. "That's a bloody hell of a double life darling."

"Duh."

"So... What happens to me on this Tv show?" He asks, leaning against the rail and gazing at the night sky as I do the same.

"You die," I say bluntly.

"I die?"

"Shameful death too." I nod, "Fucking Elena Gilbert and her brother killed you." I say bitterly.

"Isn't that you and your brother, darling?"

"No. I'm Ellie. Not Elena. And Jer is not the same person he was."

"I'm glad you won't kill me then."

"Of course I won't. Why would I kill you?"

"Why was I killed?"

"You wanted to cut Jeremy's arm off because he was a Hunter. One of the Five. They wanted to find the cure for Elena I can't accept my vampirism Gilbert and the way to do it was to kill you and with you, your vampire babies."

"No offense but Elena sounds like a ranging self-centered selfish whore."

"None was taken, at all. I hate her too. Always whining and talking about herself and... Urgh. God, I'm having a headache already." I groan and he laughs.

"How did my family react?" He asks and I know what he means but if rather play dumb than answer.

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I meant, Alma. How did my siblings react to my death?" He asks and my heart flutters at the name. It's rare for people to use it.

"Well... Rebekah cried but then focused on the cure and Klaus was going to have his revenge but then he had to get the cure too."

"Great. I die and they don't even care." He buffs.

"If it's any comfort I'd care." I smile at him and he smiles back.

"I'll keep that in mind when I die."

"You won't die, Kol. Besides your siblings are acting differently than in the show. They seem more... Caring." I shrug.

"Well, that's because of you, darling."

"Yeah, right." I scoff.

"It is true. You changed everyone." He says and I blush a little. I blushed! As in a blood rush in my cheeks. As in, it never happened before unless I was laughing or extremely embarrassed.

"Moving on..." I say as I clear my throat, "What do you think of Mystic Falls?"

"It's a small town. Boring but a place I could and did call home," He says, "The people here are great." He adds and I don't notice the glancing my way.

"Are great blood bags?"

"No. Just great people." He laughs.

"I'm glad you like it. But..."

"But?"

"Remember what I told you about what I had to do?" I ask he nods. "I was thinking of going in a few days. It could be an adventure you know? We don't have a rush so we could go the old fashion way. Airplane."

"You and me?" He asks hopefully?

"Well, you, me, and whoever really. I just thought it is your thing. We could have a lot of fun and cause chaos!"

"Count me in, darling." He smirks and I beam at him.

"I think Caroline should come too. Maybe even Ty, I bet he'll love to know Liv..." I mutter to myself.

"Right... Uh..." He stammers. Why is he stammering? Is he drunk?

"This is going to be awesome!! And after we kill Silas we're going on that killing spree because of the coven and you'll satisfy your sadistic murderous craves."

"Very well, darling. Now will you dance with me?"

"I already told you. I don't-"

"I believe we merely established that you couldn't. But i'm an excellent dancer. I'll pass on half my talent to you."

"I don't know if it works that way." I mutter and he rolls his eyes with a laugh.

"I'll teach you how to dance." He says again with an outstretched hand. I huff mutter 'fine' and the take his hands into mine.

His other hand come rest in my waist mine want to his shoulder. And he held me close as we swayed to the music. I closed my eyes getting lost in the moment. Letting his scent fill me up.

"See, you're not so bad." He whispers.

"You're basically doing everything. I'm just swaying."

"Did I tell you you look absolutely gorgeous tonight?"

"No. And I know." I smirk and he chuckles, "You look hot too."

"I know." He smirks and I also laugh.

Honestly and I'm a person who does not believe in mushy stuff and lovey-dovey things. BUT. I can tell when a moment is one worth remembering and honestly feeling him so close to me, as much of a cliche or as corny as it sounds. It felt right. I felt right in his arms.

What's with that???
