THE RECENT ATTACKS DID NOT STOP THE PARTYING IN MYSTIC FALLS. The Founder's Party was upon them, and Eleanor felt obligated to go considering she attended the very first one back in 1864. She was kind of nervous because her name was going to be on the first guest list, which was bound to raise some eyebrows, especially since Damon and Stefan's names were on there as well. She had liked that her name was on it back then because she enjoyed the idea of leaving little pieces of evidence wherever she went.
She was wearing a light pink dress with small flowers placed randomly across the fabric, and she waited outside the Lockwood for Bonnie, who was supposed to be her date for the evening since neither of them could find actual dates. Caroline was going with Damon — which Eleanor was less than thrilled about — and Elena with Stefan. Eleanor smiled when she heard the Bennett girl's voice. "Wow, you look hot!"
"Thanks," she responded, turning around to see her walking across the lawn toward her. She nodded at her politely, "You look amazing too."
Bonnie grinned thankfully before gesturing up the stairs where everyone was entering the mansion. The place was huge, not too much bigger than it was in 1864. "Shall we?"
"We shall," Eleanor confirmed, and the two joined the line and slowly moved forward every couple of seconds until they reached the top of the stairs and the doorway.
The Chetwood girl felt a wave of relief wash over her when she saw that Mrs. Lockwood was standing in the front, greeting everyone. It was going to be a problem if she wasn't able to come inside because she hadn't been invited in. Bonnie greeted the woman and gestured to the girl beside her. "Hi, Mrs. Lockwood. This is Eleanor."
"Yes, one of our newcomers. Come on in, girls," Mrs. Lockwood told them, and the female vampire stepped into the threshold of the home. She really needed to be more careful about who she invited inside. As soon as they joined the party, Bonnie began scanning the room.
"So, see any cute guys with or without dates?" she asked, glancing over at Eleanor, whose face kind of fell. She panicked slightly and was quick to say, "Oh, not that you aren't great company."
