Nina's pov

Here I was, lurking in the darkness provided by the trees of the garden of the mansion. He did not know I was here yet and I was going to make sure to take advantage of this. I would surprise him! He hadn't seen me for over 500 years. I had still watched him from time to time to check on what he was doing. I was only back here, in Mystic falls because Kol and Rebekah asked me. Rebekah had finally understood that her dear brother (note the sarcasm) was quite a piece of work and Kol was finally de-daggered. Dear Esther was back in the picture too. And this is why I was here; to help them if it came down to that. To figure out what kind of sick twisted idea was now in Klaus' head as well as uncover the plan Esther was putting in motion. They were sure there was something going one with them, especially Esther who seemed a little bit to cheerful.

I had always liked to make a big entrance and now was going to be no different. I smoothed down my ball gown. It was a gray halter floor length dress that fit me to perfection. I quickly checked my appearance in the reflection provided by the large window. I still looked dazzling, even if I say so myself. My wavy mahogany hair was pulled to one side of my head. My hazel eyes seemed to shine in the darkness against my light olive skin.

Inside I could hear Elijah starting to talk, presenting his family and decided if I wanted to make my big entrance it was now or never. And so I walked in. I came through the grand entrance banging the doors as they opened to lead me just in front of the party gathered in front of the stair case where the originals were showing off. The silence was deafening and I couldn't help but smile. I did it again, I surprised them all. Their faces when I came in were quite a site, one I was enjoying very much.

All the people from Mystic Fall looked at me as if I was a pink flying elephant. They were shocked that someone could disturb them as well as curious to know who I was. However I think the funniest site were the faces of the Mikaelson family, so different from each other. Esther was displeased that someone interrupted her little reunion, a frown was plastered on her face; Kol had his usual smirk but I could see in his eyes he was glad I was able to come; Rebekah's smile was so wide I thought her face might crack, but I was happy to see her too, just like Kol, they were just my family now after all. Finn, well he didn't seem to care too much but then again he never seemed to show any emotions, well he did wallow in self-pity but that hardly counts; Elijah was surprised, but he harbored a small smile which was good enough for me. Klaus however was another story, he was furious. He knew that my presence could only mean trouble for him. He was livid because once again I was the one who found him when he never knew where I was. Once again I managed to surprise him which he clearly did not appreciate.

The tension in the air was palpable. I decided I might as well continue to unnerve Klaus.

"How good it is to see you all again, I hope you will excuse my being late but I did always like to make an entrance so it was expected! Well my dear Klaus do not seem so surprised, I'm sure Kol or Rebekah told you that I would be a little late". Still nobody dared to talk, no one dared to move and all were waiting for a reaction from their host.

"So Elijah, you were saying?"

The party turned back to Elijah, they now knew I was a "friend of the family" and it was enough for them. Elijah returned to his speech, taking my prompting as his cue to speak up again and ease their guest "So as I was saying, it is a tradition for us to start the evening with a dance…"

I had sent my message to Klaus; he knew that two of his siblings at least had asked me to come. He knew that he had lost part of his family and that it was important he be very careful about his actions. I could make his life a living hell and he knew it.
