Forbidden (Klaus Mikaelson Love Story) #1 in the Forbidden series

Chapter 24

"This is a bad idea" I mumbled to Damon as he straightened the dress I was wearing, I really didn't understand why he was fussing about like a mother hen and it was annoying as hell, I slapped his hands away from the hem of my plum coloured cocktail dress "Damon, why are you doing this?" I placed both of my hands on each side of his face and looked him dead in the eye, which was easy thanks to my 5 inch heels, "Elijah probably knows something is amiss and you know that"

Pulling my hands away from his face, he turned away from me and picked up his bourbon that was sitting on my desk, that was in the corner of my room, "I need to know his endgame and what he's planning to do" he looked up at me and smirked, he was planning something diabolical and he wasn't going to tell me what and if it got me killed I was going to murder him.

"Damon, Elijah is older then dirt, he could crush you in a second before you even knew what happened. Why do you not listen to me when I say this?" I sighed when the smirk remained on his face, "seriously, just because Elena made a flimsy assed deal with him doesn't mean he won't kill you if you irritate him enough" I crossed my arms over my chest and glared.

"Sis, trust me, this is just an informal dinner where you'll distract the guest" he gestured to my tight fitting dress, and I looked at myself in the mirror, I'd brought this dress when I was with Klaus in Denver, it was my hot date dress, it was not for Elijah to be distracted by, which it wouldn't have that effect.

"Oh no, no, no, no" I stalked over to him and smacked the glass from his hand "no" I smacked him in the chest as had as I could, making his sternum crack, and I left the room, why was I cursed with stupid brothers.

I made it down the stairs when Andie showed up out of no where, she was ever present in the boardinghouse these days, which made my life hell, "where's your brother?" I glanced at her over my shoulder as I stalked past, she looked like a lost puppy.

"DAMON! YOUR BLOODBAG IS LOOKING FOR YOU!" I shouted loud enough for every vampire in a hundred mile radius to hear me, luckily Jenna wasn't here yet, last thing I needed was Elena bitching at me for letting her aunt know the truth.

~ Later ~

I was in the dining room helping Jenna and Andie set up for tonight's diner party, after all the pleasantries ere out of the way Andie decided to stick her nose in someone else's business "o what's going on it's you and Alaric?" Andie said as she put knives and forks down in their places.

And of course because I wanted to seem normal I joined in, I already knew what was happening but because I was rooting for Jenna and Ric's relationship I felt like I should point out the obvious "I feel like there's some tension"

"I don't know, I really like him, its more than like and I want it to work, but I cant help but I feel that he's hiding something from me" Jenna mumbled as she put glasses down on the table, my back stiffened at her words, I knew she would figure out something was up, Jenna is a smart cookie.

"Been there," I said with a sad smile, it was true, Klaus and I had our little secrets between us now, but in the beginning he kept a lot from me "turned out to be nothing but my imagination"

"Really?" Jenna asked, I just nodded and let her continue her stream of consciousness "I've got john whispering things in my ear about him" my head snapped up from where I was looking at the table and plates that I was on it and stared at her

"Like what?" Andie asked, not paying attention to my frozen state, she ran into me as she put the cutlery down beside the plate I had almost shattered when I had slammed it down.
