1864 (part 2)

Aaliyah's P.O.V

It was the next night, and as well as the Founder's Ball.

Emily and I was helping Astrid get ready. I was honestly surprised that Emily was helping me, especially since she's Katherine's handmaiden.

She was wearing the hideous dress that I had pulled out of her suitcase. Her long, silver blonde hair was done in bologna curls, and our mothers necklace rested against her chest.

An embarrassed look started to come over Astrid, "This is ridicules!" She exclaimed, as she looked at herself in the mirror.

"Oh, nonsense, Ms. Rosewood. You look beautiful." Emily states, a small smile on her face.

"Oh, don't worry, Emily," My younger sister quicky says, looking over at her, "I know I look beautiful." Her gaze fell down to the dress she was wearing, "It's just this dress is ridiculous! It's hideous!" She turns back and looks at me, "Please, Faye, if you truly love me, then you won't send me out there in this hideous dress."

I smiled down at her, "Mae, you're just overthinking it." I replied, lightly shaking my head, "You look fine-"

"I look more than fine, Faye!" She snaps, a pouty look on her face, "I look ridiculous!-"

Emily shakes her head, "You don't look ridiculous, Ms. Rosewood." She replies, her smile starting to grow.

She rolled her eyes and huffed, when there was a knock at the door. An embarrassed look started to grow onto Astrid's face, "Oh no!" She exclaims, putting her hands into her face, "It's Dorian, isn't it?"

I pulled her arm, "Put your hands down." I quietly exclaimed, as her hands dropped down to her lap, "You will mess up your face."

Astrid rolls her eyes in response.

Emily looks to my sister and me, "I will get it." She smiles, she walks over to the door and pulls it open. Mine and Astrid's gaze turned to the door to see Dorian standing there. His hands were together in front of him, and a light smile was on his face.

"Mr. Salvatore!" Emily exclaims, smiling a bit. She looks behind her to Astrid, "Ms. Rosewood, are you ready?"

Astrid huffed, before she gave a nod, "I guess." She stood up to her feet, "Even though I look ridiculous."

Dorian lightly shook his head, "Nonsense, Ms. Rosewood." He smiled, he reached his hand out to her, "Come on, let's go show the town how beautiful you look."

Astrid's smile grew a little bit, as she squinted her eyes at him, "Are you like this with everybody?" She asks, taking steps closer to him.

He scoffed quietly, "Well, not really." He smiles, he offers up his arm to my sister, "Only with Ms. Katherine."

Astrid barely rolled her eyes, before she took a breath, "Well, shall we get going?"

Dorian smiled down at her, "We shall."

She looped her arm in with his, and they walked out of the room and doorway.

Emily's gaze then turned to me, "Do you need some help getting ready, Ms. Rosewood?" She asks, putting her hands together in front of her.

My blue eyes shifted over to her. I forced a smile, "No, it's okay, Emily." I mumbled, waving her off, "I'll get ready myself."

Emily gave me a light smile, and nod. She turns, and walks out of the room, closing the door behind her.

My eyes shifted to the mirror, as I sighed quietly.

Katherine's P.O.V

Stefan and I danced in the ballroom. I smirked at him, "It looks like someone found his dancing shoes."
