"She wasn't looking for a knight; she was looking for a sword." - atticus

Alaric has been making me train nonstop; he's also convinced that animals aren't going around sucking people dry. I still haven't informed him of my thoughts of my new boyfriend. I've decided to keep it to myself until I find out more about Stefan. I'm not ready to confront him about it, especially since he's my date to the founder's ball.

The founder's ball is something that's held every year at the Mayor Lockwood's manor. This town has so much history and events; I love it. I've also never been to a ball before, and I'm excited to get dressed up.

I hear the doorbell ring and skip toward the door. I open it and see Stefan towering over me. "Hi." He smiles, and I drag him in the house and kiss him passionately. Why? He can't suspect that I know something.

"Hi." I smile. I grab his hand and drag him up to my bedroom hoping Alaric won't hear from the basement where we train.

Stefan and I make out on my bed passionately. He starts to kiss my neck and moan escapes my mouth. He pauses for a second and looks away.

"Are you okay?" I ask leaning up from my bed.

"I'm good. Sorry." Stefan apologizes, and I smile softly. Stefan didn't seem like someone who would hurt people.

"Maybe we should press pause." I awkwardly say.

"Yeah, you're probably right. That was getting a bit..." He says, and I cut him off.

"Yeah." I chuckle.

"Yeah." He smiles.

"So how do you look in a suit? I'm excited, I've never been to a ball before." I exclaim.

"I can pull one off. I can't believe they still do those founder balls." Stefan leans against my headboard, and I cross my legs.

"Have you been before?" I curiously ask.

"No, the Salvatores don't get invited anymore." Stefan purses his lips.

"Well, Bonnie and Caroline are making me go so I can learn the history of Mystic Falls if I'm going to reside here." I laugh. "I'm really happy that you're going to be my date."

"I would be honored to accompany you, Miss Grey," Stefan says in an accent.

"The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Salvatore." I laugh.

Stefan snuck back out to get ready for the ball and Bonnie came over to get ready with me. Bonnie could see the excitement radiating from me.

"Delicate flower vs. naughty vixen," Bonnie asks holding up two dresses.

"Tough call. Can we mix them?" I pretend to think. I start to apply makeup for the ball.

"Look at you, getting all pretty for your date. You seem happy-ish." Bonnie exclaims looking at me from the mirror.
