Young, Stupid and a Mikaelson (On Pause)

Chapter 10

"Elena, I have a request for you," I whisper as we make our way away from the Salvatores.

"What is it?"

I smirk at her naive curiosity. "You mentioned how my mother invited you. I want you to tell me what she was to do us."

"What do you mean?"

"Elena, despite my siblings hope for starting a new chapter, I know what my mother is and what she thinks we are."

A confused look appeared on her face. This caused me to chuckle.

"My mother, forgive me, is a fucking cunt. She pissed off nature by turning her family into vampires. So she thinks that we are monsters, needing to be put down."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because Elena, you might think she just wants you to help her kill Nik, but she will have you kill all of us. Now I accept that my death is inevitable, but I don't feel like dying now. So let me know if I need to ... you know .. watch my back."

"Of course, now Safiya, if you don't mind I am going to go get a drink," Elena unlinking our arms.

"Go ahead, I hope to see you later, Elena."

I then move threw the crowd to find Elijah and see if I was the only one suspicious of our mother. I found him making his way up the stairs.

"Elijah, we need to talk."

"Safiya, you look stunning," He says pausing for me to catch up.

"Thank you, now can we talk."

"I am about to announce the waltz. Can we later," He says stopping.

"Fine later."

"Uh, if everyone could gather, please," Elijah announces. "Welcome, thank you for joining us. You know, whenever my mother brings our family together like this, it's a tradition for us to commence the evening with a dance. Tonight's pick is a centuries-old waltz, so if all of you could please find yourselves a partner, please join us in the ballroom."

We all head to the ballroom. I was going to stand off to the side and watch but Elijah grabbed my hand. "Where are you going?"

"To stand off to the side. We both know I can't dance."

"You wanted to talk we are going to have to dance."

"Fine, 'lijah."

"Now," Elijah says as the music starts. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Mother. Don't you find it suspicious at her level of forgiveness and love towards Nik ... to all of us."

"I do," He says guiding me threw the dance.

"Did you know Mother specifically invite Elena to the party?" I say almost tripping.

"No, I didn't. I going to have to talk to Elena."

"Please do. I already warned her of my suspicions but maybe if comes from you she will heed its warning."

"Of course, Safiya," Elijah says passing me off to my next partner, Kol.

"Saf, my favorite sister."

"I better be Kol," I say.

Of course, at that point, I once again trip. "I forgot you suck at dancing."

"Twat."

"Does someone need to stand on my feet?"  Kol remarks.

"Do you want to get punched?" I say as the songs finish up.
