✔️| Gilbert (K.M. Love Story)

~••♪22♪••~

A/N: Here you go everyone, I know I kept you waiting and I'm sorry about that so here's a long chapter for you. I stuck to the script a lot on this one.

Niklaus made his way back into the house after having a chat with Caroline and his blood instantly began to boil at the sight in front of his eyes, dancing together in the ballroom, drawing attention from the crowds around them were the girl he fancied and his older brother. The hybrid felt anger as he knew that Elijah always managed to win over the women he fancied, he couldn't allow his brother to win again. 

Ariana Evangeline Gilbert had come into the hybrids life and spun it on its head, he had not been prepared to find love in Mystic Falls, he had only expected to inflict pain. Considering the family she belonged to, Klaus found it incredibly hard to carry out his plans. He wanted nothing more than to ruin the Gilberts and the Salvatore's too but she stood in his way at every hurdle. She had changed him so much and although he didn't exactly accept the change, he appreciated the way she made him feel. It was different to how he'd felt before.

Klaus leant against the archway of the ballroom as he watched them spinning around together , he caught someone staring at him from the corner of his eye and turned to find Damon Salvatore smirking at him, knowing that the hybrid was angry and absolutely loving it. 

Ariana finished her dance with Elijah and thanked him as he guided her to the bar once more and allowed her to take a seat, she accepted a drink he offered with a smile and relaxed slightly, glad that the older brother was being so kind to her. She wished she was spending this time with Klaus but he had expertly disappeared and she knew he was probably flaunting his flirting with Caroline. She didn't know why he ever seemed to show an interest in her. She didn't even like herself. She supposed she must be pretty as she was identical to Elena and everyone fancied her but that was Ariana's only redeeming quality. 

"Ah, Niklaus. How nice of you to join us" Elijah suddenly said which caused Ariana to jump, not expecting him to talk so loudly. Ariana felt a warm hand place at the back of her chair and she was swung around to face someone, presumably Klaus. 

"Hello love" her thoughts were confirmed by his charming accent that always managed to catch her off guard even after spending so much time with him. "So... how about this dance I was promised?" she wished she could see his expression. Just as she took his hand, she heard Elijah call out to someone, her twin sister in fact. 

"Elena!" he began to walk away, she heard his footsteps as he did so and she sighed as she took the hand held out for her, allowing him to lead her to the dance floor, she had decided to question him, she needed answers and he would provide her with them.

"So, love, how was your evening?" he wondered as they began to sway.

"What do you want from me?" she instantly asked, she wasn't going to allow him any time to overwhelm her with his pleasant accent and his smooth words.

"Whatever do you mean love?" he wondered, curious and slightly worried about what was going to happen. 

"Why do you spend so much time with me? Act so kind toward me whilst you should despise me for who I am?" she pondered aloud. "Is it just an act of pity?" 

"No, of course it isn't. I can't explain it" he attempted to inform, worried that her questions had arisen, he didn't know how to explain his feelings to her. 

"If you cannot tell me what purpose you have in spending time with me, then I have no reason to believe that it isn't a part of some plot. You flirt with me and make it seem as though I mean a damn thing to you when it makes no sense. You could have Caroline, it seems that she is who you are truly after. From what every one has said to me... maybe you are building up to something. You want to ruin my family, am I your way of doing that?" she seethed and he didn't answer, he was in pure shock. He felt like becoming mad, his usual route of defense but he held it in and resigned to saying nothing. What could he say? he didn't want to look weak. Perhaps it would be best if the girl was gone from his life for good. Before he could decide what to say, she answered for him "I thought as much"
