Back In Time

Fest Night

Chapter 5

Elena

We were all dancing in a group just the five of us, Spinning around from one to the other. Then the music slows down and everyone starts to couple up. I turn and start to step out of the square when someone grabbed my arm. I look up to meet the face the hand belonged to and I find Nik.

"What?" I ask confused.

"Do you want to dance?" He asked amused. I nodded slowly and turn to follow him to the middle of the square.

I put my hand on his shoulder as he places his hand on my waste. Then we softly slid are hands into each others, he spins me around the floor. He looks straight into my eyes and it felt like we had stopped spinning but I know we have not because my feet are still moving. But it didn't just feel like we stopped spinning, it felt like the world had stopped spinning. Nik leaned down and I thought he was going to kiss me but he kelp move and stopped at my ear.

"The music has stopped. People are staring." He chuckles. He pulls his head back up and there on his face was a smile, a happy smile. I giggle and smile back at him before leaning in and to his ear.

"We can stop if you want to." I told him.

"Never." He said back. So we kelp slow dancing till it was time to eat. Nik and I sat beside each other as we ate.

"You to are so amazing together!" Rebekah sang. The girl sitting beside her nodded in agreement. I almost choked on the piece of bread I was chewing on. Nik looked at me with a smirk on his face.

"We aren't a couple!" I say as sweet as I could.

"Yet!" Nik's smug face said.

Rebekah and the girl sitting beside her start to giggle and jump in their seats. I smile at Nik. my face turning red from crushing on him and from embarrassment. Later that night Nik and I walk into the meadow that I was sitting in that morning. We lay down in the grass and look up at the stars. A shooting star shot across the sky.

"What did you wish for?" I ask him as I turn my head to look at him.

"Wished that you would say yes to my question." He was now looking at me.

"What is the question." I asked as I watched him sit up and I followed.

"If your father was here I would ask him first but I am going to have to skip that and ask you first. Elena Gilbert will you court with me?" He asked. I thought for a second he was going to ask to marry me. Wait courting is like dating right? Right!

"Yes, I will court with you." I said surprising him and myself.

He stood up and stun me around than sat me back on my feet. We both laughed and talked for hours before going back to our house, for the first time in my life I fell like I belong and I am truly happy. I still don't know what the hell is going on with me but I like it.

"Where were the two of you? Were you alone? Why were you out so late?" Esther said in anger but you could hear the hint of a scared mother.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" Mikael yelled. I could not help but look at him in disgust.

"He did noting to me but make me the happiest woman on the earth." I yelled in his face.

He raised his hand up as high as he could just before he could move it down Nik, Elijah, and Kol was in front of me shielding me from their father. Rebekah grabbed me and held her in between her and her mother.

"Listen to me girl, you will never raise your voice to me in my house." He said girl, me, and my house louder and meaner then the rest.

"And listen to me father, you will never raise a hand to Elena again." Nik said listen, me, father, never, Elena louder than the rest and I could hear the coldness and bitterness in his voice as he will have in the future.

His father looked at Nik as if he was about to do something but then he looked over at his other two son that would have stopped him if he did and walked away.

"I'm sorry." I whispered but everyone heard me and looked at me.

"You have nothing to be sorry about. You were standing up for Niklaus." Esther said. "Now what was the happy news?" She finished as she clapped her hands. I nodded at Nik to let him know it was OK for him to tell.

"I asked Elena to court me and she said yes." He said proudly. Rebekah screamed and her and her mother hugs me. Kol jumps on Nik's back and Elijah just sits there trying to look happy for us.

"We are going to be sisters!" Rebekah said. "I always wanted a sister!"

Esther looks down at the floor and Finn jumps up from the sit he was in and storms out he front door. That's when I remember that esters first child was a girl. Rebekah face turn sad and turned to her mother.

"I sorry I just meant..." Rebekah trailed off.

"I know what you meant. It OK because if it was not for our loss of Freya I might not have my beautiful children that stands before me and that includes you to Elena." She hugged on Rebekah as she said this.

"I need to go talk to Finn." Rebekah said as she walked out the door.

"I am going to get out of this dress." I walked around the corner and into Nik's room. I change and then packed up my stuff. I opened the door and went to my new room.
