Philophobia: Mikaelson's Mate

Mikaelson Ball pt1

Lexi Pov

My breath shuddered as I exhaled deeply blaming my mother for cursing me with anxiety. I was supposed to be some super powerful witch, which I am, but the idea of being in a crowded room with a bunch of people I don't know... No thanks, my claustrophobia and social anxiety would eat me alive.

But here I am, in a car which is stopping outside of the Mikaelson mansion which has hundreds of people inside. My anxiety and overthinking began to taunt me as I got out of my car, thanking the valet who took my keys.

I swallowed deeply as I tried to overpower the negative thoughts promising myself it would be better once I was inside...
With hundreds of strangers
And thousand year old vampires
And the original witch
And some other random supernaturals
And whatever problem the Salavtore's next throw at me

Wow, that helped so much, note the sarcasm.

I scoffed at the conversation my mind was having with itself. By the time I finished my mental debate of whether to go home or not I was already at the door ready to enter. 

FUCK.

After a quick deep breath I just walked through the door, faking my confidence, limiting the time I had to overthink. Once I entered my eyes scanned the room, passing over some familiar faces, most importantly the two Salvatore's who were approaching me.

DAMN IT

"Lover boys" I nodded at them as a form of greeting.

"Girl who we specifically told not to be here" Stefan practically hissed at me.

"Now, now brother. Let's keep in mind that she could easily cause both of us an unimaginably slow and painful death" Damon said in an attempt to get his brother to back off.

Unknown to them, there were more eyes than they realised.

As I was walking around the ball room of my mansion, attempting to pass the time as I waited for Caroline to arrive, I felt myself drawn to the door of the mansion.  I dismissed the thought as it was probably one of my supernatural senses picking up the arrival of guests. As  soon as I went to turn away from the entrance, my eyes landed on the Salvatores, more importantly the girl with the Salvatores...

My mate

She had dark brown hair with olive skin which both complimented her deep hazel eyes. A dark red dress hugged her perfect figure as she stood at around 5'8" but it was hard to tell due to the heels she was wearing. I instantly responded to the discovery by trying to pass by the guests to reach her but was beaten by...

As I made small talk with some of guests I rolled my eyes at the sight of the Salvatore's heading towards a woman who had just entered the ball. From what my brothers had told me Damon and Stefan were both in love with the same girl, a doppelganger. However, the woman who the Salvatores were approaching was no doppelganger, she was my mate.

After my eyes travelled up her body for the third time I made my way over to her.

"Remember how we told you to avoid the Mikaelsons, well walking straight into their foyer isn't quite the way to do it" Damon remarked as he went to guide me back out the door.

"Damon, it's fine unlike Elena, who might I add just walked into the Mikaelson's foyer as well" I said gesturing to the doppelganger who just walked through the entrance, "I can protect myself."

When Stefan went to great Elena I turned away from Damon, only to be met with a man who had scruffy brown hair and dark brown eyes. My breath hitched in my throat, I would be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to him.

The man then bent down taking my hand in his own, placing a kiss on the back of my hand all whilst keeping eye contact with me.

HOLY SHIT 

Strangers should not be able to turn me on this much

After I realised I stopped breathing, the man said, "I don't believe we've met, Kol Mikaelson." As I started breathing again I processed what he said...

Mikaelson

Where have I heard that befo-

Oh those are the people I'm supposed to be avoiding. 

DAMN IT. 

After deciding Damon and Stefan were right and that I should probably avoid the Mikaelsons I replied, "I didn't ask".

He chuckled lightly and asked, "What's your name, darling?" 

HIS ACCENT <3

 Damn it Lexi you are supposed to be avoiding these people.

"Nothing you'll get the pleasure of knowing" I stated trying to get him to back off, generally I would be a lot nicer to hot strangers who are flirting with me but Damon was quite literally right behind me and had told me multiple times to avoid him. These middle school comebacks would hopefuly keep Kol off whilst Damon was around .

"Ah I like pretty little things with sharp tongues" Kol said, "but let's try that again shall we?"

"She has a boyfriend, champ" Damon remarked from behind me clearly unamused by the Originals interest in me, "take a hint and get in line".

I don't have a boyfriend...
Unless Damon thinks h-
No, he's my best friend...
I think, unles-
WE ARE JUST FRIENDS

"Damon Salvatore" Damon said, holding out his hand to Kol who glanced at Damon's hand before shaking it "Have we met?" Damon questioned.

"I have met a lot of people, and you don't particularly stand out" Kol said I lowered my head lightly to hold back my laughter as Kol was clearly mad at Damon for interrupting us.

The two continued to stare at each other dead in the eyes, clearly doing some vampire pissing contest. "As fun as this meeting was, I'm going to go now" I said interrupting their competition. The two each glanced at me whilst dropping their hands.

I walked away before either of them had the chance to say anything.

This was going to be a long night.
