Tonight is the ball and I get to meet the man that my father has chosen for me, he pacifically said that he wants me to be with a man that is well worth the money and also who cares much for his family as well.

"Too tight".

"I'm sorry mam but it has to be tight".

"Lily, do u know any of who this man is".

"I'm sorry Bella, I did try to see who it was but ur father and ur husband to be were both sat outside".

"Alright thanks for trying, did u catch the name".

"No sorry mam".

"Oh, no there's no need to apologies, anyway I must get going a lady cannot be late for the ball".

"But mam ur dress is not done yet".

"How much longer, Lily do u suppose this dress is gonna take".

"About 2 minutes max, mam".

"Oh and by the way Lily, when its just me and u, u can call me Bella if you'd like".

"Ok, sure, and all done Bella".

"Are you ready to go to the ball now". My father said opening the door.

"Yes, father".

"Alright, u ready to meet ur husband to be".

"Depends". giving a little smile.

We soon got to the ball and it was packed, there were servants, people laughing, drinking. But one man caught my eye, he was wearing a suit jacket, dress pants and a tie. But unfortunately he wasn't the guy that my father chose.

"Bella, I would like u to meet John, John this is my lovely and beautiful daughter Bella".

"It's a pleasure to meet u Bella". John said reaching for my hand and kissing it.

"The pleasure is mine, umm if you'll excuse me I need to do something".

"Alright but dont be long".

I started walking towards the unknown man, as he was talking any other women".

"Hi".

"Hello, how are u enjoying the party".

"It's great thanks".

The unknown man then whispered something to the women and then she went away.

"Well I'm glad ur enjoying it, would u like to get a drink with me, to get to know each other a bit more".

"Umm, I'm not sure, umm u see my father wanted to introduce me to this young fella, and I dont particularly like him, I even felt uncomfortable but when I first walked into here u were the first fella that caught my eye and I was hoping u were the one but unfortunately u weren't, but I must get going back".

"Oh, I'm sure ur father wouldn't mind, it won't be long we will just get a drink and get to know each other".

"Umm, sure".

We slowly walked towards the food and drink table and soon started talking.

"Umm, by the way I didn't catch ur name".

"Oh, umm sorry I'm Bella Anderson".

"Well it's a pleasure to meet u I'm Elijah Mikaelson".
