Ella POV
I couldn't sleep last night. At all. I kept thinking about the note Klaus left. I mean, it had to be Klaus, right? I mean, it can't be a coincidence that my brothers were talking about Klaus, and then I all of a sudden met a guy with a name that starts with K, and is a vampire. Or a hybrid if it is him. But one thing I was 110000% sure of, was I couldn't tell my brothers, and I couldn't see Klaus anymore.
I got out of bed, showered, and picked my outfit for the day. I then went downstairs, and I smelled pancakes. I walked into the kitchen, and saw Damon cooking. I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Uh, Damon?" I said.
"Chocolate chip or blueberry?" He responded. I was still confused.
"Chocolate chip I guess... What are you doing?"
"What, I can't make breakfast for my mini me after not seeing her for 160 years?"
"First of all, I am not your 'mini-me' I look more like Stefan than you. Me and you don't even look like siblings." I started.
"Just because we don't look alike doesn't mean you aren't like me. Don't deny it. You ARE me, and you know it." He smirked.
"Okay, whatever. Second of all, yes you can make me pancakes. Thank you." I said, shaking my head. I ate, and Damon said everyone was meeting at Elena's place. I ran upstairs and grabbed my phone. I went back downstairs, to see Stefan.
"Morning, El. Ready to go?" He asked, kissing my cheek.
"Ya." I said smiling.
"Damon is in the car, let's go." He said walking to the door and opening it.
We drove to Elena's house, and Caroline and Bonnie were already there, along with a few other people I haven't met yet.
"Hey El," Caroline said, hugging me.
"Hey" I laughed, "Hey Bonnie, hey Elena." I said
"Hey" They both said in unison, smiling.
"Guys, this is my baby sis." Damon introduced me to the people I haven't met, putting his arm around my shoulder, like usual.
"Okay, so whatever was in the sealed coffin, is out now. We can only hope it will kill Klaus, and leave us out of it." Bonnie explained.
"Guys, you don't know what was in the sealed coffin?" I asked curious.
"No. All we know from Bonnie's dreams, it has to be the way to kill Klaus." Elena stepped forward.
"Okay, but didn't you ever think of what that thing might do to you guys? I mean, it was sealed for a reason, right?" Damon just made me face him.
"Ella, I'm going to need you to trust us, we need Klaus dead. And if whatever that thing was tries coming for us, we can use Bonnie and her mom to try and seal it again." I sighed.
"Okay. So now what?"
"Well, all we do is really wait, I guess. Keep a look out for each other since he let all of his siblings out." Stefan explained.
-Time Skip-
It has been a few hours of talking with Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline. I was getting bored of being in the house.
"Why don't we go to the Grill? Get some drinks?" I proposed the idea.
"Why not." They agreed.
"Damon, we are leaving." I said walking down the stairs.
"What, no you're not. What did you not understand about 'looking out for each other?'" He sassed.
"Oh, I understood all of it, but there are 2 vampires, and a witch. If Klaus is still alive, he may be strong but he isn't stupid." I explained giving him sass back.
"As much as I hate babysitting, you can't leave." I threw him at the wall.
"Bye Damon." I laughed, and we left.
"Mama Stefan... I think... we need... to ground her..." I heard Damon say in between breaths.
We got to the grill and I told them I'd get seats at the bar. They went and played pool for a little bit. I was sitting there, when I got a text. I unlocked my phone, and It was from Katherine! The text read: How's Mystic falls? Find your horrible brothers yet?
I Just smiled and typed: and the doppelganger.
She answered quickly: gross
I smiled until I felt someone sit by me. "I'm sorry these are for m-" I stopped talking when I saw who it was. Klaus. I rolled my eyes.
"Go away." I said sternly.
"Klaus, what the hell are you doing here?!" I heard Caroline.
"Nothing to worry about Caroline, just saying hi to a stunning lady. I'll leave now." He said walking away. He quickly turned around and said, "Oh, and I'm having a ball at my mansion tomorrow at 7 o'clock sharp. A reunion, more like. My mother has been freed and now we are all together again. Dinner, dancing, champagne. Feel free to join." And that was all he said before winking at me and walking away again.
"No, I think we're good." I told him. He just smiled, and left. God that smile. I felt butterflies again but did my best ignoring him.
"Wait, did he just say his mom was freed? You don't think..." Bonnie started. I knew what she meant.
"Shit, we need to tell Stefan and Damon." I said.
We rushed to Elena's place and explained everything to them. They listened carefully.
"So, mama Mikaelson was in the coffin? How nice." Damon sarcastically smiled.
"He said he's having a ball for his family reunion." Caroline explained.
"A ball?" Stefan asked, eyebrows furrowed.
"Yeah. A ball. Tomorrow night at 7."
"Well, I say we go and see what she is here for." I said.
"Ella, that's not a good idea. He was making heart eyes at you." Caroline said.
"Ya, and?" I was confused.
"Don't you think that's a little strange? Plus, he'll try and brainwash you to be on his side. Compel you even." Elena said. I shook my head.
"No he won't and we need to go. We need to know what their mom wants." I stated.
"No, she's right. Guys, we need to go. And if he was making heart eyes at Ella, he'll be around her." Stefan explained pointing at me.
"Brother, you better explain better." Damon walked a little closer to me.
"Think about it. He'll be around Ella most of the time, if he was actually making heart eyes at you," He said looking at me. My heart flipped at the thought of it. Stefan continued, "and if he does that, we can find Esther."
"I'm down." I said. My heart was racing thinking about Klaus. 'I know it shouldn't but I just can't-'
My thoughts got cut off by Tyler, "Uh oh." He said, looking at me, raising an eyebrow.
"What?" Damon asked.
"Ella's heart is racing." He said smiling.
"Ya, so? Isn't yours thinking of what might happen. I have anxiety about things like this." I said trying to keep my cool.
"Well, it races every time Klaus's name is said." He started, "Ella's got a crush" He smirked.
"I do not!" I yelled.
"Yea. You do." He said laughing, crossing his arms.
"I've only known you for two days, therefore I don't care about you. Not one bit. That means I won't hesitate to rip your heart out." I threatened, my eyes going to their thirsty form.
"El, it's okay, calm down." Caroline said sweetly but a little hint of fear that I'd kill her boyfriend right there. I took a deep breath, and stepped back.
"Children, children. Enough. I ain't here to babysit." Damon said, grabbing my arm.
"Tyler, she doesn't like Klaus. No one would unless compelled. And Ella, stop with this attitude. We don't need a 'Katherine' here." Damon snapped at us.
"She's not like that bitch, Damon. She just got angry." Caroline defended me.
"Fine, whatever." Tyler snapped back.
"We are going to the ball. Tyler, you are not. Klaus still thinks you are gone." Stefan said walking up the stairs.
"Okay, I'll just stay at Matt's. No other vampires can get in there. I'll be safe. I'll go talk to him." Tyler said leaving, kissing Caroline.
-Time Skip-
I was getting out of the shower and wrapped my towel around myself and put on my necklace. I walked to my room and saw a box on my bed. I walked to the closet and put on my pink satin robe, tying the front.
I then walked back to my bed, and saw there was a piece of paper on the box. I picked it up and it was an invitation. The print read:
PLEASE JOIN THE
Mikaelson Family
~~~
TOMORROW EVENING AT 7 O'CLOCK
~For Dancing, Cocktails & Celebration~
I flipped it over and it had handwritten writing. It also read:
Save me a dance... or two?
Fondly,
Klaus.
My heart started pounding again. I put the note down and looked at the box. After debating whether to open it or not, I decided to just wait until tomorrow. I placed the box on the chair, and put on my satin pajamas, also throwing my hair into a bun.
I turned off my light, and climbed into bed. I pulled the covers on me up to my chest, and laid on my side. I was trying to fall asleep when someone texted me. I reached over and grabbed my phone from the bedside table, and checked. It was from an unknown number. But as soon as I read it, I knew who it was.
Did you get the package, love?
I rolled my eyes and typed: Do me a favor... lose this number. How did you even get it?
He quickly responded: I have my ways. You didn't answer my question, love.
I huffed, shaking my head, and started typing: Ya, I did. And I didn't open it. Don't get me gifts. It's weird. I'm going to bed, so STOP texting me.
He replied with a quick: Goodnight, love❤️
A heart. My own heart was practically pounding out of my chest, and the butterflies were threatening to burst through my abdomen. I put my phone back on the small bedside table, and curled up in the blankets, soon falling asleep.
Klaus POV
It has been an hour since I last messaged Ella, and I decided to go see the beautiful Salvatore. I sped to her brother's house since that is where she is staying. I listened carefully to make sure her brothers weren't around. I heard male snoring coming from 2 rooms so they were asleep. I then listened for her breathing. I found it and walked to her window.I knew which one it was by me coming during the day to leave her the notes and package. It was unlocked still, so I slipped in very quietly. I looked at her and she was so peaceful looking. I carefully sat beside her admiring her. I moved a stray piece of her hair off of her face and gently rubbed her cheek. I sighed. 'Oh, Love. I have no idea why, but you drew me in.'
She stirred so I got up and left, leaving an extremely gentle kiss on her forehead. I found myself smiling and hoping she would go to the 'ball' tomorrow.
================================================================================
So, I fell like this was fast moving and confusing... sorry
