Boundless ✔(A Mikaelson Soulmate Story)

Chapter III: Cinderella Moment

It wasn't that hard to retrieve a dress for this stupid ball. I learned how to compel, which turned out to be like learning to ride a bike again. I had also compelled a salon stylist to help me clean up. I wasn't stupid though, I compelled them to invite me into their home and let me use their restroom to shower and had them help me fit in some. I stayed with this woman for a few days. Of course I fed elsewhere, not wanting to feed from my caregiver. That would be rude.

I had her come with me to get a dress, she helped a lot with where to go. She assisted with doing my hair and makeup for this event as well. Course I invited her to be my plus one. Might help deter the attention from me. It seems a lot of people didn't know this woman. Her name is Lydia Coleson. Very nice, even when I didn't compel her to be.

She helped me pick this dress that was very flashy. Told me to 'work what my momma gave me.' She of course had to explain that one to me. I'm trying to get to know this new world though. They use a lot of slang.

Anyway, here I was, dressed in this long red gown that had a slit up my leg, the cleavage on full display. Definitely not a dress I would wear in my time. The amount of skin on display was ridiculous. But flattering. Lydia straightened my curly hair, trimming it some for me. She also did my makeup which was simple with a bright red lipstick.

I gotta say, I barely even recognized myself. I looked modernized as she said.

I snapped my eyes away from the floor length mirror and looked to the clock that sat on the nightstand. I was late. Perfect. I smiled sweetly, looking back at myself in the mirror.

"Game time." I whispered.

The Mikaelson Manor-

"Do you see anyone new?" Damon asked, leaning against the wall where Klaus had stood. The Scooby Gang and Mikaelson family were playing buddy buddy until the pest was dealt with.

"I'm sure you would notice someone new, haven't you been here longer than us?" Klaus snipped back with a sharp inhale. Damon shrugged.

"They all just look the same after a while." He admitted.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Unless they look like my doppleganger, you don't care." Klaus growled. Damon smirked.

"So I have a steady thing for the same type of girl."

"Katerina and Elena are nothing like each other." Klaus argued. Damon chuckled and nodded.

"I meant in looks." Damon clarified. Klaus rolled his eyes as he inhaled, choking as his breath got caught in his throat. His eyes snapped up as a scent hit him, noticing his brothers were all choked up as well and looking around. Damon nudged him after giving him an odd look, never seeing a vampire get choked up before. "Looks like Cinderella has made it to the ball." Damon whispered, his eyes examining a young woman in red. Klaus looked over to her and it was like his world froze. She was gorgeous. And right now he was thanking whatever gods there were for the modernized world, the dress she was wearing showed all the right curves she had. The long legs that seemed endless. The way she stood showed off how tall she was, screaming with confidence. Was this it? Was Klaus experiencing the pull of a mate? He never believed in them, living for so long and never meeting his. He even had double the odds of having one, being a hybrid. But now, now that the scent of maple and strawberry's smacked him in the face. He knew this had to be it. But why were his brothers also choked up and staring at this marvel of a woman?

What Klaus didn't notice was his mother had also seen the mystery woman. She was thankful her son, Fin, had already offered his blood up. Now she can link all of her children, including Hilda together. But the twist was, she can kill herself to off them all. Either way, she knew it was the end of her tonight, whether Hilda got to her or her children. Might as well make it worth it. Tonight at midnight, all of her creations will be linked to Hilda, who is thankfully linked to Esther Mikaelson.
