Mikaelson Ball

✦✧✦

Give me love like her
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I'd let them go
And that I'll fight my corner
Maybe tonight I'll call ya
After my blood turns into alcohol
No, I just wanna hold ya

"So, is no one going to adress the fact that Rebekah is wearing a fucking rainbow?" Elijah blurted, giving his sister the stink eye.

"Oh, shut up, at least I am not choosing between two equally awful pairs of shoes." Rebekah retorted from where she stood in front of the mirror.

And the longer she looked at her reflection, she realized that the dress did not go with her personality at all.

That was when she huffed and stepped down, "bring me something better, I don't like these!" She stated to the designer who was close to rolling her eyes all the way back inside her skull.

So far, Rebekah had tried on tens of dresses and none of them she liked.

Kol scoffed, adjusting his bowtie in the mirror as the entire lounge of Aurelia's mansion bustled with designers and seamsters, trying to get the Mikaelsons dressed.

Katherine and Jenna too sat on the couch, getting their nails done while Katherine skimmed through one of the catalogues.

"This is ridiculous." Jenna huffed, realizing how extravagant the Mikaelsons were and from her observations, Katherine too did not lack the taste for luxury.

"What is, darling?" Kol asked, turning to look at her with his signature grin as Jenna looked up at him with slightly wide eyes.

She did not know how to answer that question.

"This is all very new to me, the magic, the powers....and on top of that, here we are, apparently planning a ball for this town which has only every harmed each one of us...I don't know what to feel about that." Jenna explained with uncertainty in her voice. Along with her anxiousness, "not to mention how over budget all of these dresses look!" She added.

Kol and Rebekah stopped in their movements and so did Elijah as they looked at her.

Jenna felt like sinking back into the couch.

"Darling, from all of the centuries that I have lived, I have to tell you, this doesn't get easier. Yes, you will learn how to control your newfound powers and yes, you will master them like the amazing woman you are, but there will always be something that will catch you off guard. There's no way around it." Kol explained to her in a gentle tone, surprising her slightly.

She nodded gratefully to him before Elijah began speaking:

"This ball is to tell this town that it is going to have to co-operate with our family or we will make it our bitch, especially now that we all have our vendettas."

Jenna frowned in confusion, "so, this is a power move then?" She asked the eldest Mikaelson in the room.

He gave her a grin, "precisely, mon chéri!"
