Original Frenzy (A Vampire Diaries x Originals Fan fiction)

Shopping and Girl Talk

The past few days have been quiet, with me dividing my time to be with each brother and Rebekkah. Klaus and Kol were slowly regaining their humanity back and are beginning to grow into the men that Rebekkah said they were once upon a time before all this vampire stuff happened. I found myself with Elijah on most nights, sometimes just sleeping in the most innocent of ways and sometimes the complete opposite. I haven't slept with anyone else, which was frustrating to both Kol and Klaus but very pleasing to Elijah. I feel my grow for all three brothers growing, but Elijah still sat on his own pedestal in my heart. Rebekkah was growing closer to me and I saw her in a new light, as my partner in crime and my confidante when I needed some girly advice and some girl time.

"Elena!" I shake my head and rush downstairs, afraid of what she'll do to me if I don't come quickly.

"Yes, your highness?" I say exasperatedly, mockingly bowing in front of her.

"Ha-ha. Very funny Gilbert. Come on, we're going shopping!" She squeals, raising her credit card.

"Again? Rebekkah, there's only so many things we can buy. And I refuse to use any more of your money! I'm not some charity case!" I say, hearing sniggering from behind me and see the Original brothers. "Not funny you guys. Imagine getting dragged from store to store every week. My feet are sore!" I whine, pouting at them before turning back to Rebekkah. "Can we go next week or something? My feet are still recovering!" Rebekkah sighs and swats my complaints away.

"Stop whining, you're fine. I'll give you some of my blood so you'll be better." She says, making me sigh.

"No, no need." I say, shaking my head.

"Sister, stop torturing her like this." I hear Klaus come to my rescue, making me smile in gratitude.

"We can't have her come to the ball tonight dressed in this!" She says, making me raise an eyebrow at her.

"A ball?"

"Yes, we're meeting very important people in the vampire world and some locals from New Orleans as well." Kol says, making me nod.

"Fine, let's go." I sigh, getting my bag before leaving the compound. I feel someone grab onto my wrist, causing me to stop and turn around to meet Elijah's dark brown eyes.

"Lovely Elena, I've been meaning to ask you something." Elijah says, bringing me to the side.

"Yes?" He smiles softly before revealing a bouquet of white orchids from behind him, making me gasp in surprise.

"Will you make me the happiest man at the ball by accompanying me?" He says, making me grin.

"Why Mr. Mikaelson, I would love to!" I smirk, taking the bouquet and kissing him lightly on the lips. "I love the flowers, can you put this in a vase somewhere?" He smiles and nods, kissing the top of my head. "I'll see you later." I say, kissing his cheek before running off to find Rebekkah. We spend 3 hours at the mall, when I finally decide on a red ball gown that clings onto my body, enhancing my curves with a sweetheart neckline and a bit of red sheer fabric above that, making it look more intricate. Rebekkah chose a dress similar to mine but in midnight blue with sparkly diamonds (real ones) sewed onto her neckline, bringing more attention to her cleavage. We put our dresses in the car and got some lattes before driving back to the compound.

"So, how are my brothers?" My eyes widen at her bluntness and I choke on my latte, turning towards her.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh don't play dumb with me Elena. I know what's happening. You, Elijah, Kol and Nik." She teases, a glint of mischievousness present in her eyes.
