The large gown felt itchy against your skin. It was 2010, who knew Balls still existed in this time? Well, not particularly, because it’s the Mikaelson’s, old vampires, who set it up. You weren’t given an invitation, but Damon had asked you to be his date. They didn’t necessarily tell you what their plan was, because they wouldn’t just join a party hosted by the Mikaelson’s to have fun, but you knew something was up.

However, as soon as you and Damon arrived, he gave you a quick smile and complimented your looks, before he ran off to go find Elena and Stephen. So, here you stood, alone with a champeign glass in your hands. You felt insecure in the dress, as you don’t wear them often and didn’t feel like you looked that good.

Ball gowns were rare, too, so that felt a bit unusual to you.

As time passed, you got bored and started to look for your date, Damon. But, you couldn’t find him anywhere. You were starting to get tired, having to hold the large skirt in your hands up so you didn’t trip over it.

Just as you were about to give up, a familiar voice catches your attention. “Looking for someone?” You dreaded the sight, seeing Klaus Mikaelson standing there in his fine suit and amused smirk. However, you noticed that his features have softened. Was it because of you?

Ever since Klaus had came to Mystic Falls, you and your friends had noticed his likeness towards you. It scared you, because you’re a mere human and tried to survive as much as you could being friends with the supernatural. Not only that, but Klaus has been threatening, torturing, and trying to kill your friends and family. All except…you. Now that you think about it, he never once laid a hand on you, harmfully, you mean.

“My date,” you stammer, panicking a little on what to do. You never expected to run into the big bad wolf, who was quite intimidating. You noticed, though, the way his brows furrowed and his smile faded at the sound of you having a date.

“Is that so?” He puts on his usual smile once again.
