Elisa's POV

I looked in the mirror and admired my appearance. The Mikaelson's had decided to host a masquerade ball in a nearby hall as a way of welcoming themselves back to the city. Rebekah had taken me shopping earlier and picked out a beautiful gown from me to wear.

When we returned, she helped me change and also did my hair for me. "Wow" I turned and saw her admiring me. "You look beautiful, Elisa".

I smiled and put on my mask. "Do you think Kol will like it?" I asked, worried about what he'd think. Rebekah stood beside me, adjusting my dress slightly. "Elisa, if he doesn't get horny from seeing you in this then there's really no hope for the boy" she giggled, causing me to burst out laughing.

My expression fell slightly and I sighed. "I'm terrified, Rebekah. I've spent years waiting and loving Kol. What if I hurt him or being with him isn't what I dreamed of?"

She turned me to face her and fixed my makeup slightly. "You hurt him before, Elisa, but you came back to him. You two are like magnets and you always find each other. You're just inseparable, constantly being separated by events. Embrace the now, and I promise you that you both will find happiness within each other". She hugged me and offered her hand to me and grinned.

"Before I start getting all emotional let's get this bloody night underway". I giggled and took her hand, following her out the room.

----------------------------
I stood at the top of the stairs of the ball, preparing to make an entrance. Looking over the edge, I saw the Mikaelson's chatting away to everyone, and felt my heartbeat increase when I saw Kol. God he looked handsome in a suit with a black mask.

I watched as people danced, gowns flowing in the air as couples glided across the floor. Rebekah stood next to me and smiled. She was wearing a red dress which flowed around her figure perfectly. "Are you ready?" She asked.

I nodded my head before beginning to walk down the stairs. I felt eyes on me from every direction and saw that almost everyone was watching me enter.

Some men were gawking at my appearance whilst the women either looked at me in amazement or jealousy. As I made my way down, my eyes met the one person in the room who stood out.

Kol watched as I came down, his mouth open and his eyes wide. I smiled at him and approached him slowly.

"Good evening, Mr Mikaelson" I said, curtsying in front of him and bowing my head.

"I umm... I" he stuttered causing me to giggle. "I means good evening Miss Jones" he leaned down and kissed me hand, making me blush. "May I have this dance?" He asked and I nodded my head, letting him lead me to the dance floor.

We glided across the floor, both lost in each other's eyes. I felt a smile on my face throughout the songs playing as I admired Kol. "I must say, Elisa Jones, you look absolutely stunning tonight" he said before spinning me round on my own. I giggled as I returned to our original dancing position.

"You don't look too bad yourself, Kol Mikaelson's" I replied. "What, this old thing?" He gesturing to his suit. I laughed and let him lead us round the floor. "Well when I saw you walking down those stairs, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming".

My cheeks heated up at his comment as he spun me again. He pulled me close to him so our noses were touching. I met his eyes and saw a mixture of love and lust. His eyes scanned my face before looking at my lips, and I closed the gap between us causing him to pull me as close as he could.

I felt like my heart was exploding in my chest as I wrapped my arms around his neck, playing with the hairs at the back of it. He pulled away slightly, smirking.

"Now, let's enjoy this evening, shall we darling?" He said as we began dancing again.

Unknowns POV

I watched them behind my mask, my expression cold. I felt betrayed, broken, sick. But all I could do is watch. I didn't even know how I was here, but I felt like I'd rather be anywhere else than watching what was unfolding in front of me.

Feeling a tear fall down my cheek, I walked away from the ball, anger building up inside of me.
--------------------------------

Elisa's POV

Everything about tonight was perfect. Everyone was finally happy, and it filled me with joy to finally know I was with Kol for good now.

We returned to the mansion and I headed straight to our room, Kol chasing behind me. I ran in and shut the door, but was too late because Kol forced it open with his hands, causing me to rush to the other side of the room.

However, before I could rush away again, Kol grabbed my hips and pulled me into him. I turned to face him giggling. He smiled widely, his laugh slowly stopping. He stared at me, admiring my face like he'd done earlier in the night.

"What?" I whispered, tilting my head to the side. He pushed a strand of hair out of my face before smiling. "I'm just admiring the most beautiful creature I've ever met".

I blushed and looked down, but Kol forced me to look at him again by lifting my chin. "I love you" he said, caressing my cheek.

"I love you too" I replied before crashing my lips with his. The kiss got heated quickly and soon we were laid on the bed, Kol on top of me in a heated make out session. However, I felt Kol holding back slightly and making everything go slower, trying to embrace every moment.

I pushed his jacket off his shoulders and began unbuttoning his shirt. He attempted to undo the pace of my dress and groaned into my mouth when he couldn't do it.

"God these damn things are a nightmare to get off" he said against my lips, causing me to laugh. I moved my hands to the back of my dress and undid it, allowing Kol to begin pulling it off. I pulled off his shirt and scanned his perfect body before he collided his lips with mine again. "Are you sure about this?" He asked cautiously.

I looked at his chocolatey eyes and smiled. "I've never been more sure of anything" I said, pulling his face towards mine again.

It's fair to say it was the perfect end to the perfect night.
