Night Time Creatures [Klaus Mikaelson]

17 • Must Have Been A Popular Name

Aliona's P.O.V

The next day I sighed in a mixture of annoyance, anger and boredom. I was waiting in the line with Matt on the grand steps of the Lockwood mansion, the dress that Elena had leant me was incredibly beautiful but itchy.

Finally we walked inside to the crowded house, filled to the brim with laughing people all drinking wine. I grabbed myself and Matt a glass before spotting Elena.

"The founding families of Mystic Falls welcome you to the founders council celebration, wow it's the original guest register." Elena read and stared at an old piece of parchment that was framed on the wall. I glanced at Stefan worriedly as Elena began to read some of the familiar names off of it. "Is that Damon Salvatore? And... Stefan Salvatore?" She asked and stared Stefan who looked like he was trying to think of something to say.

"What a coincidence." I laughed and tried to act innocent.

"And look it says Aliona Salvatore." Elena spoke with wide eyes.

"How strange." I said and swallowed hard. "Must have been a popular name back in 1864." I said as Elena nodded.

"The original Salvatore siblings." A voice said from behind me, I turned to see Caroline and Damon walking towards us.

"I'm just going to go to see Tyler." Matt whispered to me and I nodded as he walked off.

"Our ancestors, tragic story actually." Damon said as I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Oh do tell us." I spoke up, wanting to hear how Damon would describe the events of that year.

"It's nothing, we don't need to bore them with stories of the past." Stefan shrugged as I frowned.

"No I'd love to know more about your family." Elena smiled at him as I stifled a laugh, she thought she knew about his family when his sister was stood right next to him and she didn't even know it.

"Well I'm bored, I want to dance but Damon won't dance with me." Caroline moaned from his side as Damon shook his head. "Can I just borrow your date?" Caroline asked as Elena looked uncomfortable.

"Oh...um-"

"I don't really dance." Stefan said. Well you liked dancing with Katherine in 1864, I thought as Damon laughed.

"Of course he does, you should see him; Waltz, jitterbug, the moon walk he does it all." Damon said slightly sarcastically.

"You wouldn't mind would you Elena?" She asked as Elena looked between my brothers.

"It's up to Stefan." She shrugged, before it could get any more awkward I coughed.

"I'm gonna leave you couples to it." I smiled politely and walked away, trying to find Matt.

Instead I found Bonnie and stayed with her for most of the night, she seemed kind of lonely though.

"Are you sure you're okay Bon?" I asked as she nodded.

"Yeah I'm fine, just wishing I had a date." She sighed as I shook my head.

"You can have mine if you can find him." I shrugged, looking around but still no sign of Matt. He's probably bailed and gone home, I thought. "He even admitted I was second choice to Elena so..."

"Ali don't worry about it, it's just a stupid party." Bonnie smiled.

"Maybe you should listen to your own advice Bon." I said as she nodded and laughed. Elena suddenly came over and she looked upset. "Everything okay?" I asked as she shook her head. "Well come join our pity party." I smiled sympathetically at her and motioned for her to sit in the chair next to me.

After Elena had finished explaining how she and Stefan had just argued about the secrets that he kept about Katherine. It made me feel weird to talk about her when this time 145 years ago she was in this house dancing with Stefan.

"I just feel terrible because I said that I wouldn't get in the middle of it, and then that's exactly what I did." Elena sighed as I nodded in agreement, she was the reason my brothers were here after all. I didn't really know if I should thank her or hit her. "I'll be right back I'm going to the bathroom." She huffed before walking off, I looked at Bonnie as she shook her head.

"And then there were two." I sighed.

I decided to call it a night and take one last walk around the gardens, who knows maybe Matt was hiding out there with Tyler.

It was a nice warm evening and the stars about complimented the many small tea lights that lit up the fountain and lawn. I could just see Matt sat in the distance on a bench with Tyler, they looked deep in conversation about something so I didn't bother going over to them.

"Please don't." I heard someone whimper and I whirled around to see Damon dragging a terrified looking Caroline. "Please don't kill me." She cried and I walked closer. Seeing Damon circle her, like she was prey that he was hunting.

"It's okay." He spoke kissing down her neck. "I forgive you." I stayed in the shadows ready to grab him if he tried anything. "Unfortunately, I am so over you now." He mumbled as my eyes widened, he bared his fangs before sinking them into Caroline's neck.

"Damon no!" I shouted out running over to where he was on the ground now drinking from Caroline, I pushed him and surprisingly he fell away from her. He seemed to be groaning and coughing under his breath as Stefan appeared next to me.

"I knew I couldn't spike your drink, so I spiked hers." Stefan says, Damon was on the ground rolling over a clutching his throat that was probably burning. Stefan had put the vervain in Caroline's drink.

"Good move brother." I nudged him as he nodded, looking down at Damon. Stefan moved over to Caroline and fed her some of his blood before motioning to Damon.

"We need to go." He said as I nodded and helped him pick up Damon, we sped away into the night. I felt bad for leaving poor Caroline on the lawn, but at least with Stefan's blood in her system she'd heal.

We got back to the boarding house swiftly, carrying Damon's limp body down to the cell in the basement. I didn't know what Stefan had planned to do to him, but I knew it couldn't be pleasant.
