"Too much?" I ask, approaching Stefan in front of the Mikaelson mansion. Elena had already entered the place, in hopes of finding Damon. People dress extravagantly passed me as I watched in amazement.

I stood in the blue dress, with long white gloves. My long hair was straightened and I had a simple face of makeup. The necklace Klaus had given me was around my neck, although not purposely.

I felt kinda weird wearing all the things he has given me. Maybe like I was some kinda traitor. But I also wanted to impress.

"You look great." He says with a smile, taking in my appearance as I grin and look down to his neat tux.

"You too! Isn't this so exciting!" I say, looking up to the large mansion doors.

"Sure is." He says in amusement, his eyes lingering on me before holding his arm out. I interlock mine with his and chuckle as we approach the doors.

"This feels familiar." I joke, referring to the multiple times me and Stefan had held this position. The party/wake/homecoming disaster, the dinner murder plot, etc. Good times.

The large doors open revealing a large and lit up hall, with a long set of stairs. Everything looked so elegant and expensive. My eyes immediately find Carol Lockwood, making my brows furrow in confusion.

Stefan leads me further into the large place and almost immediately a familiar face approaches us.

"Scarlett, Stefan." Elijah smiles, nodding his head slightly.

"Oh hi Elijah. Nice suit." I say giddily with a slight grin making him chuckle. I may have been waiting for a chance to go to a ball like this since I was little. Cinderella was my favorite disney princess after all.

I will ignore the fact that everyone was murderous blood suckers for the night.

"First ball, I presume?" He asks making me nod.

"It's that obvious huh?" I laugh.

"I am sure you'll get used to it over time." He speaks, before spotting someone in the crowd and excusing himself. I liked Elijah, he was definitely way more down to earth than his siblings.

"What was that supposed to mean?" Stefan spoke from next to me as he lead us through the people, looking for a drink.

"Maybe they plan on throwing more." I shrug, my eyes roaming through the crowd. I found myself looking for Klaus for some odd reason.

When I spot him his eyes almost immediately flicker to mine. He was wearing a white bow tie and button up, with a black coat over it. His curls were slightly slicked over but still very noticeable. He looked good.

My mind flickered to the day before. The way he acted towards Damon and Stefan and even the woman he killed with no hesitation. I felt my stomach drop slightly but decide I would approach him anyway. Even if it felt wrong.

"I'll be back. Gotta use the bathroom." I say as Stefan only nods, looking around the room himself. Probably looking for Elena.

I step away from him and approach Klaus who was looking me up and down. He walks away from the woman he had been chatting with without a word. She gives me a look of annoyance before walking off.

"You look beautiful. As usual." He speaks cooly as we finally meet.

"I love compliments and all but, i'm feeling a little put off. Yaknow after witnessing you literally murder someone yesterday." I say making him only smirk.

"Lets get you a drink, yes?" He says (completely brushing off my statement) , before holding his arm out. I roll my eyes and hesitate before taking it in my own. When I end up doing it I see him almost grin in accomplishment.
