The next day, three hours before the Masquerade Ball.
Arabella woke up to a knock at the door after sending a very direct message the night before.
She had already been awake, but the knock on the door made her heart truly wake up again. Arabella stood up and placed on a silk robe the hotel was offering before walking to the door, opening it, and seeing..
Alaric.
She quickly closed her robe as much as it closes and gasped, "Alaric? Why are.. Uh why are you here?" She asked, confusion already flooding her head.
"Not excited to see me?" Alaric asked, tilting his head at her, "Seemed excited last night, love." Alaric finished his sentence with a smirk and Arabella's jaw was on the floor.
"You have the wrong person," Arabella was about to shut the door when a force stronger than hers pushed the door back open, almost pushing her back. "Oh, God," Arabella rolled her head back, Alaric had been turned, "Wait—, what did you just call me?" She asked, taking a step forward.
"Love," Alaric grinned and Arabella stood there in shock. "Thought you'd like this new body, saw you and him the same night I saved you." Alar- Klaus said, leaving Arabella feeling almost disgusted.
"Klaus, what the hell?" Arabella calmly spoke before inviting Klaus into her room and closing the door behind him.
"You'll see, it's only temporary," Klaus stood in front of Arabella, there would've been tension but Arabella couldn't force herself to have any thoughts while Klaus was Alaric, "I know I was way more attractive in my original body." Klaus bragged, getting closer to Arabella but she backed up.
"Yeah, nuh-uh, not while you look like.. that." She gestured her hands all over him and he laughed before sitting down on a chair. "Anyway, we have a ball to go to tonight." Arabella smiled and sat in front of him on the couch.
"Where's my suit?" Klaus asked, knowing Arabella said she had gotten a few.
"I got a few, along with my dresses," Arabella walked over to the closet and grabbed a few of her dresses and his suits, "I have 5, you have 5, you go first." She handed him the suits and he sighed before taking them and going into the bathroom.
Klaus walked out after trying on the first one, it was a tight fit and it made Arabella laugh.
"I don't care if you like this one, it's a no." Klaus walked back into the bathroom.
He tried on the second one and it fit him almost perfectly, but he disliked the color. He tried on the third and he didn't even come out of the bathroom.
The forth one, he walked out and she immediately fell in love with it.
"This one, this one might just make you look better as Alaric." Arabella walked over to stand in front of him as he fixed his collar.
"Your turn." Arabella took a step back and walked into the bathroom per Klaus' request.
She tried on the first dress and it was way too loose, she walked out and Klaus shook his head almost instantly. When she tried on the second, she fell in love, the only downside was how long it was. The third was the best one.
A black dress that perfectly shaped her body and a red sparkled design in the front of it, that complimented her body even more, she walked out of the bathroom after staring at herself and Klaus didn't take his eyes off of her for a solid minute or two.
