Yes, I was surprised.  Does Klaus Mikealson like me?  Or does he have a plan for me?  Stefan thought so too.

"Yes, Klaus doesn't treat anyone like that, Celine.  He spent time with you, healed you without expecting anything in return, there is only one explanation for all this and that is love." Stefan said while sipping his whiskey.

"But there seems to be something we can do here.  We can turn this to our advantage."

I was surprised that Stefan said something like that.  Because he was never the type to chase things like that.  What Klaus had done to heal Damon was too much for him.

"You want me to use it and get closer?  Why would we do such a thing?"

"Because Celine, our family suffered because of this man.  You know what I've been through."

"I know, Stef, but this?  What if he understands?  I'm not afraid of him, but what if he finds out and hurts the people we love?"

Stefan approached my seat and sat next to me. 

"I would never do anything to endanger you little sister, you will just stall him for our plan. You would do it for me, for us, wouldn't you?"

I nodded as if to say yes.

But Stefan's plan would have done Klaus great harm.  Even Damon was unaware of our conversations with Stefan.  This plan was just between the two of us, and that was the hardest part. I went to my room and lay on my bed.  It was 4 am and I still couldn't sleep.  Stefan is my dearest.  Whatever he says, I have to do, but why am I so worried about a stranger, an insignificant person?  do i like him?

No, I can't do that, even if I'm impressed by him, it doesn't mean anything.  I can't have feelings for Stefan's enemy.  I need to be close to him in our plan.  I'm afraid to spend too much time with him.  I strugled with these thoughts all night.  I fell asleep in the morning.  I slowly opened my eyes when I heard the music in the house. 

"What the fuck is this morning?" 

I went downstairs in my pajamas.

"Hey good morning, can you please turn down the volume of the music, there are still some people who are not sober, don't you know about the clock?" 

I said angrily.  Damon turned the music up to piss me off.  Not surprised. 

"Good morning to you too little sister, oh what happened or you couldn't sleep?  Or could you not sober up?" 

I approached Damon with my vampire speed and got on his back.

"Leave my ear to Celine!!!  Stefannnn!" 

Yes, I bit his ear. He deserved it though!  Stefan took me from his back with vampire speed and held me in his lap.

"Hey let me go!"

I said smiling.  Stefan started kissing my cheeks.  Damon took me from his lap and held me in his lap. 

"Shall I cut off your ear now huhh?" 

He scared me with his vampire eyes.  I looked at Stefan with my scared baby face. 

"Stef please take me take me!"

Stefan took me from his lap. 

"Don't touch my baby, Damon,"

He said, hugging me.  I hid my head in his chest.  Damon started to smile.  After a long time we were away from these dramas and our family seemed happy.  The energy was really good today.  We were having our breakfast.  I was browsing the magazine pages on Instagram and Tiktok while drinking my coffee like every morning.  At this time, our doorbell rang.  I went to open the door and when I opened it, no one was there.  Except for one box!  I looked around but no one was there.  I took the box and brought it to my brothers. 

"What is that Celine?"  said Stefan. 

"I don't know, someone left it at the door." 

I opened the box and was amazed.  There was a beautiful dress and an invitation.  I can't take my eyes off the dress.  I received the invitation and opened it. 

"We are waiting for you at this special ball to celebrate our return to Mystic Falls, dear Salvatore family." 

When I looked at the back of the invitation, there was a special note for me. 

"No one else could wear this dress but you.  I'm dying to see you wear this" -Klaus Mikealson.

"Of course we're not going."  said damon. 

"On the contrary, we must go.  We must show that we are not afraid of them and that we are whole as a family.  This invitation must have gone to everyone but us.  We shouldn't leave our friends there." 

Stefan's words are impressive but not true.  Because his only goal is to be close to Klaus.  So I have to be there too.  So I have an opportunity to wear this amazing dress!  It was evening and we got ready.  I texted Caroline and told her we were meeting there.  Katherine and I were great for ball.  Stefan came over to us and couldn't take his eyes off Katherine.  All three of us were silent.  Katherine and Stefan exchanged glances for a long time.  I wanted to leave them in my room, but I didn't want them to fight, so I didn't go anywhere. 

"So Stefan and me?"  I entered the chat.

"I don't get it, what are you, Celine?" 

"I wonder if you're going to look after me, other than Katherine?  So you never said anything about how I looked."

Katherine turned to me, raised her eyebrows, and smiled slightly.  Stefan was still confused. 

"You look so beautiful my princess."

He said, and he kissed my forehead.  Stefan is always like that.  I smiled at the two of them and let them walk arm in arm.  As they were going downstairs, the message on my phone stopped me.

"I'm here, there are hundreds of adorned and brightly dressed girls here, but none of them shine.  Come quick, I need you to shine around"

I had a smile on my face and butterflies flying in my stomach.  I think we've all read enough wattpad stories to know that's not a good sign.  So I picked myself up and went downstairs.  I was at the end and waiting for Damon.  At that moment the doorbell rang and I opened it.  The person I saw was not very welcoming....

What will happen at the ball and after that ball? Oh everything will change! Xoxo!
