the Mystic Falls Sisters

Luna's POV

As we entered the enormous ballroom of the Mikaelson residence I looked around to see if there was anyone I knew. I noticed Elijah standing on the big staircase with what looked like his family. Damn, they were all gorgeous.
As my eyes flicked across the room I saw that Sun was getting real worked up about something. I followed her gaze and stared right at Damon. He was guiding the ever so beautiful looking Elena to the dance floor. So far for trouble in his family. I felt my eyes tearing up and didn't want anyone to see, so I ran off.

I heard someone yelling my name, but I didn't stop. All I wanted was to get out of here. It felt like the walls were creeping up on me, I needed some fresh air. When I reached the gigantic backyard I sat down on one of the benches. Matt sat down next to me and put his arm over my shoulder to comfort me. "Why, why..." I stuttered, but I couldn't finish my sentence.

"Damon is a complicated guy, Luna. Hell, I have known him for how long now and he still startles me with his weird actions. Besides, it's his loss. You do look absolutely stunning and everyone knows it." Matt's comforting words were sweet, but they didn't make me feel much better. I didn't know if it was because I always wanted to see the good in people, but I had a feeling Damon wasn't like this at all. It was just an act he was holding up, but why? I thanked Matt and we remained there sitting in silence. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, though. Sometimes all you need is each other's company.

A sudden guilt crept up on me. I was more or less stealing Sun's date from her. I told Matt he should head back inside, because I didn't want Sun to be alone. He asked me if I was sure and after I insisted he went back to the party. I wasn't alone for that long, because soon Elena walked towards me to tell me how sorry she was. Elena was a classmate of mine as well, even before our move we were best friends and it didn't take long for us to become best friends again.

"Damon, ugh. He is such a dick sometimes, but he honestly has a small heart somewhere hidden in there." She said pointing to her chest while shaking her head, still upset because of Damon's behaviour towards me. I couldn't help but laugh. This actually cheered me up a bit. I told her it was not her fault and we talked for a bit. I found out that she wasn't even dating Damon, but that she lost a bet and that's why she was forced to dance with him. She was dating Stefan, Damon's younger and much friendlier brother. I didn't know Stefan that well, we only took one or two classes together, but back inside she properly introduced me to him and I liked him already.

I wasn't planning on talking to Damon. Not yet at least. Until I was forced to, because the others had left to go dancing. So everyone was on the dance floor except for Damon and me. I acted as though I was carefully watching everyone dance, not in the mood to say anything. I felt satisfied noticing that Damon was having trouble finding the right words to say. I wanted to let him sweat for a little while, he deserved it. When he finally found the right words to say he said:

"From the bottom of my heart I am sorry. I really am. There really was something that got in the way and ugh, I should have never asked you to come with me in the first place knowing that I couldn't hold my promise." Although I appreciated his honesty his words did hurt me. Basically he said this whole thing of asking me was a mistake. "It's fine, believe me I get it. I just wished you would have told me. I am not a baby, I can handle it." I lied, faking a smile. He nodded and apologised again and we were actually having quite a nice conversation when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I looked behind me and saw a handsome looking boy in a tuxedo with a black bow tie. "Um hi," I said with a slight frown, but a smile. "Hi, sorry I don't think we have met. I am Kol Mikaelson, Elijah's youngest brother." He grabbed my hand and kissed it. I wasn't expecting that. I laughed and his face turned from smooth to a tad insecure. "Is something wrong?" He asked. "No, no sorry. I am just not used to, well...never mind. Um, I am Luna Wolff. Nice to meet you." We talked a bit about his house and his family and the ball they were throwing.

When he asked me to dance with him I was unsure at first, but then I decided to just go ahead and take the risk. How risky was it anyway. I did notice Damon looking a bit jealous, very jealous actually, but figured he couldn't be. It was just in my mind. Plus I wanted to enjoy my night and I couldn't possibly pass up the opportunity to dance with a guy like Kol, could I?
