Odd Meetings (1)

Brynn's POV

"Welcome Miss Donovan," A man smiled as I entered the Mikaelson's home. I smiled back at him entering. I didn't actually know anyone here, well I knew my brother but he didn't know I was in town. 

I was invited to the ball although I didn't know the people that had thrown it. 

I saw my brother talking to a blond girl and a brown haired girl. I walked hastily towards them making sure I didn't trip over my dress. 

"Matt," I said calmly tapping his shoulder. 

"Brynn what are you doing here?" He exclaimed pulling me into a hug. 

"I've moved in with a friend I met at Duke and someone invited me here," I smiled.

"Oh, this is Elena and Caroline," Matt stated pointing to each of the girls. 

"Elena Gilbert and Caroline Forbes? You were so tiny last time I met you," I chuckled.

"We were like ten," Caroline giggled.

"Yeah but that was six years ago, you were so small compared to now," I chuckled.

"So who invited you?" Elena asked.

"Someone named Elijah Gilbert," I shrugged. 

They all looked around at each other. Odd. 

"Can one of you show me to him?" I questioned.

"Sure," Caroline dragged her word out before leading me.

She led me to a man maybe a couple of years older than me. Not introducing me she abandoned me there looking like an idiot. 

"Excuse me are you Elijah Mikaelson?" I asked. 

"That would be me," He smiled. 

"I'm Brynn Donavon, but I guess you know that already seen as you invited me here," I smiled back. 

"I know I did, I heard about you through a friend of a friend, and I found what they told me overly interesting so I thought I'd invite you so I could get to know you," He stated.

"I'd love to get to know you or I'll be hanging around my Brother and high school students," I chuckled. 

"I have to talk with my family for a moment, I will be back for the traditional waltz," He smiled. He walked off and stood on the stairs with two women and three men. 

"Uh, if everyone could gather, please," Elijah stated standing in the middle of the stairs.

"Welcome, thank you for joining us. You know, whenever my mother brings our family together like this, it's tradition for us to commence the evening with a dance," He smiled, "Tonight's pick is a centuries-old waltz, so if all of you could please find yourselves a partner, please join us in the ballroom."

He came back down the stairs and took my hand as the music began. 

"You look very beautiful tonight Miss Donavon," He smiled as we danced. 

"You look very handsome," I smiled back. 

"I am sorry for inviting you without properly introducing myself, my sister is here with your brother," He stated. 

"I would say he's spoke about her a lot but I haven't seen him in a while," I shrugged. 

"Are you staying in Mystic Falls or returning to where you live?" He asked. 

"I'm staying with my old friend, I don't know whether me and my brother on the best terms," I stated. 

"Why would you be on bad terms with anyone?" He chuckled. 

"I fled town after our sister was murdered, he doesn't understand why. Everyone said she overdosed but I didn't. I left town to do more investigation, you'd think I was insane if I told you what people theorised as how she died," I shrugged. 

"Why what was the theory?" He questioned. 

"Vampires, they thought she was turned into a vampire and killed by one, mad right?" I chuckled. 

"Yeah," He muttered looking sad.

"You alright?" I asked. 

"I'm fine," He smiled. 

We talked as we danced but the partners had to be changed and I ended up with a man I recognised as someone who was standing on the stairs with Elijah. 

"I see you were dancing with my brother," He stated. 

"Yeah, he invited me here, I'm Brynn by the way," I smiled softly. 

"Kol, how long have you known my brother?" He questioned. 

"I met him tonight, here to be exact, but he said your sister was here with my brother, " I shrugged. 

"Matt Donavon, correct?" he asked. 

"Yeah," I nodded. 

The music changed so we stopped dancing. 

"It was a pleasure to meet you Brynn," He smiled taking my hand in his and kissing it.

"The pleasure was all mine, I should get back to your brother, if I can find him," I shrugged. 

We said our goodbyes before I made my way back over to Elijah who was grabbing two glasses of champagne. 

"Here you go," He smiled handing me a glass. 

"Thank you," I smiled back. 

We carried on talking for a while longer before Matt came over to tell me he was leaving and if I wanted to stay there I should leave too. 

"Goodbye Brynn I hope to meet you again in the near future," He stated kissing my hand like his brother had. 

"Goodbye Elijah, hopefully we will meet again," I smiled before leaving the ballroom to follow my brother so he could show me to my new apartment.
