Stronger than the rest

Chapter 5

"There has to be more to this dress." Rebekah complains and I stick my head out the red curtain. She sticks her head out and looks at me. her with the dress on and me just in my underwear. The boys sit, drinking champagne, waiting for us to finish shopping. To cheer me and Rebekah up, klaus treated us to anything we like.

"Sorry, there's not." she walks out with a skimpy black dress and I walk out in just a matching pair of red lace underwear.

"So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then. You know, I got dirty looks for wearing trousers." she states and I roll my eyes, popping back into the cubical and slipping into a pair of bleached ripped shorts and a white tank top with cork screw sandals wedges, hoop earrings, and a long grey cardigan.

"You wore trousers so women today could wear nothing." I shout, finally coming out the small room. I tie my hair into a messy pony tail and look at myself in the mirror next to klaus.

"And what is this music? It sounds like a cable car accident." Rebekah says, making me laugh before turning around and going back into the small room and stripping.

"It's dance music." stefan says and I change into thigh high leather boots and a leather jacket.

"People dance to this?" Rebekah asks an I walk out, checking the mirror. god why can't I find an outfit?!

"Hmm." I hum, pulling my shoes off and throwing them on the floor.

"Are we done?" Klaus groans and I roll my eyes, walking back in. how can finding an outfit be this hard?

"And why are you so grumpy still?" Rebekah asks klaus and I pick up a flowery dress and change.

"I needed one thing from you for my witch to find out why my hybrids are dying, one thing. your necklace. and you lost it." he replies and I slip on a belt and boots.

"I didn't loose it. it's just been missing for 90 years." She replies and I walk out, my hair down with different jewellery.

"So what do you think?" Rebekah asks and I smile while looking at myself in the mirror.

"I like it." We both turn to stefan frowning. "what? I said I like it." he states.

"I can always tell when your lying stefan." Rebekah states and walks back into the dressing room.

"Nice one, good work." klaus says sarcastically as he stands. his eyes land on me and he picks up a jean jacket.

"Your the one that pulled the dagger out of her." stefan states and I turn around. Klaus helps me put the jacket on, brushing the hair over my left shoulder.

"I heard that." Rebekah says glumly and I turn to face klaus. he smiles at me weakly and I turn around, beginning to walk away. Klaus grab my arm and turns me around as Rebekah and stefan continue to talk.

"Sorry." he says as I sigh. I can't continue to be mean to him, I can't bring myself to it. So I say the first words that pops into my head.

"I'm sired to you klaus, you don't have to appologyse. I'll always be forced to accept anything from you." I say softly, almost kindly but not sarcastically. he sighs, sitting back on the couch and I sit next to stefan.

"I'm going out." stefan says before leaving. I internally groan as I slump in my seat, waiting for Rebekah. Now I know how the boys feel.

****

After Rebekah gets her outfit, we go to the bar, waiting for the witch to find the damn necklace. I drink my bourbon as I sit, crossed legged on the bar.

"Your going to ruin the wood." Gloria states from a table, I roll my eyes and take another sip.

"Just concentrate on finding that damned necklace." I reply, making her glare at me. a small burning appears in my head. "100 witches can't take me down, dearie. I'm much more invincible then klaus." I reply with a smug smile. She frowns before turning back to her magic. My eyes glance around the bar before landing on a blonde man outside. TJ. his eyes meet mine and smirks before walking away.
