OPHELIA STARED AT HERSELF IN THE mirror, flattening out the flowy emerald dress that fit her body. She had to admit, she was a little nervous to walk down the stairs in front of everyone, but she told herself that she would try her best to contain her confidence.

Hearing a subtle knock on the door, she saw Finn standing there with an unreadable expression on his face. Ophelia hasn't known her uncle Finn for too long, but she would like to get to know him.

"Hello, Finn. Can I do something for you?" Finn began to walk closer to Ophelia, making her stumble back, slightly intimidated by his tall height.

"I would like to give you something." She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, wondering what Finn was talking about. Soon after, he reached in his suit pocket to reveal a gorgeous emerald green diamond necklace in his hands.

"Darling, I know we haven't known each other for a long time, however, I would love to get to know my enchanting niece. I've always wanted a daughter and quite frankly, you're the closest person to that."

A tug on the edge of her lips started to form as she genuinely felt the emotions from her uncle. "Thank you, uncle Finn, I appreciate the wonderful gift. Um, can you..." Ophelia lifted her hair as Finn proudly walked over to her and put the necklace on her neck.

"You look dashing tonight, Ophelia. Shall we?" Finn stuck out his hand for Ophelia to take. She gladly accepted and they went downstairs to the rest of the crowd, the sounds of music and voices escalating.

Damon stared at Ophelia as she walked down the stairs, in awe at the sight of the beautiful girl. His smile read more than it showed. The happiness that purified his heart was something that only Ophelia could do to him.

"Close your mouth, Damon. Don't want to choke on flies." Ophelia laughed softly at the sight of Damon staring at her.

"For the record, I wouldn't choke on flies, because I already choked on your beauty, Lia." The blush that crept on the girls face certainly showed Damon how she was flattered by his generous compliment.

Ophelia and Damon's arms were linked with each other as they walked around, greeting random people with a smile. The pair soon ran into the mayor as they talked about being surrounded by the oldest vampires in the world. Kol soon appeared in Ophelia's sight, making her smile brightly.

"Mayor Lockwood, we haven't formally met. I'm Kol Mikaelson. I hope your lovely town embraces us just as much as we plan to embrace it." Kol gently pecked the mayor's hand and his attention soon diverted to Damon who had his hand out for him to shake.
