059: Dangerous Liaisons

"Bex!" Blake chants as she walks downstairs. "I just made the most beautiful dress for the event your mother invited me to."

"What color is it?" Rebekah asks, she is having an assistant paint her nails as Kol appreciates himself in the full-length mirror.

"Pink,with a corset type bodice," Blake replies as she sits. "Miss, can you do mine next?"

"Yes, Miss Mikaelson."

"It's...."

"Mikaelson is just fine for you, Blake," Rebekah cuts her off.

"Rebekah?" Kol speaks, stopping Blake from arguing. "Tell me how handsome I look."

"Ah Kol, you know I can't be compelled," Rebekah muses and Finn smiles from where he stands with Elijah - Blake had met the family the previous nice - including Finn, Kol, amd Esther.

"You went after Elena?!" Klaus tells as he storms in and up to Rebekah.

"Here we go," Rebekah scoffs as the assistant starts om blakes toes first.

"Do you want another dagger in your heart?" Klaus threatens.

"Again with the dagger threats?" Blake asks with a scoff. "Come up with something new."

"Oh, go back to checking out Kol," Klaus scolds.

"What, are you my father?" Blake challenges, Kol watches the pair in amusement.

"No, but Blake, if it weren't for me, you'd probably be desd amd staked because you leave bodies bloodless!" Klaus yells amd she flinches.

"Enough," Esther says as she comes in. "Blake, are you all right, dear?"

"I am," Blake replies.

"Good," Esther replies. "Niklaus, come."

"Blake!" Rebekah chants. "Show me your dress!"

Blake smiles before they head up to her room; the picture she painted of the colorful tree is hanging in here. Rebekah sees a gorgeous ball gown on the mannequin still, and she gasps.

"That is beautiful!" Rebekah gasps. "How are you fixing your hair?"

"Curling it?" Blake shrugs. "Or an up hairstyle."

"Curl it, leave it down," Rebekah says eagerly. "I love how long your hair is, Blake Gilbert."

Blake smiles. "I need shoes."

"Let's go shop!" Rebekah chirps. "Get dressed." 

When Rebekah leaves, Blake closes her doors. Her room has a beautiful set of double doors she asked Klaus for. Blake hadn't talked to Elijah much, she still sees the betrayal when she looks at him.

Blake removes her top and Elijah walks in, closing the door behind him.

"Elijah?" Blake rises an eyebrow. "What are you doing in here?"

"We need to talk, Blake," Elijah claims. "About... What happened before Niklaus daggered me."

"Oh, you mean your betrayal?" Blake sneers as she turns her back to him and removes her training bra for a push up. "What about it?"

Elijah's eyes roam Blake's bare back as she searches for a bra, and he clears his throat. "You have to understand that was never my intention. Betraying you guys like I did... Going back on my word. That was not like me."

Blake covers herself and she turns. "No, it wasn't, but you did it, Elijah. That's what hurt; I trusted you." She turns back around amd continues her search.
