4~A New Doppelgänger And Old Friends

Esmeralda was getting dressed for the day before she headed over to her brother's house. Last night after her conversation with Esther, she went back home and to sleep.

In her room underneath her vintage nightstand clock was a leather bound book that be gan to give. The book was spelled to record her most inner thoughts and feelings.

Ella got dresses into some gray joggers and a gray hoodie with circles. She pared it with gray converse, a black crescent moon necklace, and a black rope bracelet. Once she was finished she appeared on a couch next to her baby sister.

"Are you liking your manicure, baby sister?" Esmeralda's voice startled everyone in the room even the compelled help.

"Sister, how nice of you to drop by." Kol chuckled as Elijah went back to examining his shoes.

Ella noticed Kol's hair had been trimmed, "Who trimmed your hair Kol?"

Kol looked towards his sister's before going back to his reflection. Ella decided to get up and torment Finn.

"Tailor? Do be careful, my brother doesn't really like needles." As Ella spoke she subtly flicked her wrist causing the man to stick Finn.

Ella kept walking past Finn towards Kol.

"Stop Esmeralda," Finn sighed as the tailor went to fix his mistake.

Ella stopped right in front of Kol and flicked him in the forehead. Soft enough to were it didn't hurt her finger but hard enough to where it hurt Kol.

"I don't know what you're talking about brother." She said turning to Finn while Kol turned to her.

Kol frowned at Ella, "What was that for?" He asked.

She began to fix Kol's bow tie. "That was for not answering my question."

A smile graced her lips as she patted Kol on the chest, harder then need be, when she was finished. With a glance at her nails, Ella walked back over to the couch.

"Snap." Was the sound of her fingers as a nail styles appeared out of nowhere.

"And mother said I was reckless with my magic," Kol mumbled to himself but everyone heard.

"What was that Kol?" Ella asked with fake kindness.

Instead of answering Ella he turned to Rebekah, "Rebekah? Tell me how handsome I am."

"Oh Kol, you know I can't be compelled." She stated as she examined her nails.

The civilized sibling bonding lasted one more minute before Niklaus walked in. Ella look at her stylist, who wanted to stop but the look Ella threw her made her continue.

"You went after Elena. What is wrong with you?" He approached Rebekah in a few long strides.

"Here we go," Rebekah commented as Esmeralda stood up standing half in front of her.

"Do you want another dagger in your heart?" Klaus' comment made Ella step forward ever so slightly.

"Again with the dagger threats. Don't you have any other tricks." Kol butted in.

"Oh don't worry Kol. He couldn't get to Rebekah even if he wanted to." Ella said as she inspected her left hand that was half done.

"Go back to staring at yourself Kol..." he trailed off looking at Esmeralda. "Here's a fun fact Esse... we... don't... need... you." He took a step closer with ever pause.

Esmeralda didn't even flinch though the rest of the boys took a step forward just in case. Klaus had a steady glare on his face as he looked her dead in the eye.
