Kol grinned. "What are you waiting for, my anchor? Come on." he urged.

Imogen chuckled as she placed a hand on Klaus' extended one and the two walked up the stairs. The noirette stood a step below Kol as Klaus stood a step below her.

"Welcome, thank you for joining us." Elijah told the invited guests. He glanced at his mother. "You know, whenever my mother brings our family together like this, it's tradition for us to commence the evening with a dance."

Imogen chuckled and turned to Klaus. "I remembered."

Klaus smiled softly at her. "Of course you do."

Imogen smiled and turned away just to meet the green eyes of the one and only Stefan Salvatore, who was standing beside his older brother, Damon.

"Do you see who I see?" Imogen heard Damon asked his little brother.

"Oh, yeah." Stefan replied, not taking his eyes off of Imogen.

"You're looking at the wrong woman, Stefan."

Imogen chuckled but knew exactly who they're talking about. That moment she also knew the two Salvatore vampires knew Esther wanted to talk to Elena. She was careful not to show she was suspicious with them.

"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." Elijah said and quickly walked down the stairs.

Rebekah turned to Imogen. "I wonder who's lucky enough to have your first dance of the night."

Instantly, both Klaus and Kol Mikaelson glared at each other. Finn standing beside Rebekah, shakes his head in disbelief with the behavior of his younger brothers.

Imogen smiled. "Well it all depends whoever is the first one to ask---"

Before she could blink, Klaus has already wrapped her in a hug from behind.

Rebekah sighed and rolled her eyes. "Seriously, men."

Kol scowled at Klaus. "You!"

Klaus smiled mockingly at him. "Better luck next time, little brother."

Imogen chuckled at Klaus and Kol's childishness as Klaus escorted her to the ballroom.

"Nik, you didn't even ask me if I wanted to dance with you." Imogen playfully scolded the handsome Original hybrid.

Klaus smirked smugly. "Do I have to? I know you'll say yes even if I won't ask."

Imogen rolled her eyes at himKlaus. "That, that attitude of yours, really."

Klaus winked at her, making her laugh.
The noirette turned her attention away from Klaus and noticed Elena and Damon. She listened to their conversation as she turned her head away, not to get caught listening.

"Don't even think about it." Damon told Elena.

"She wants to see me alone, Damon." Elena said nonchalantly.

"Well sucks to be her then. Was I not clear this morning?" Damon ask.

"I was invited." Elena retorted.
