Enchanted (Klaus Mikaelson)

*****ENCHANTED Part 4*****

They had trusted you to distract him, telling you nothing else in case he decided to compel it out of you. You knew nothing going in but something told you, Klaus wouldn't make it out alive. That made it so much harder when you went home and found a box and a letter with your name on it, inviting you to the Mikaelson ball. Save me a dance was written beautifully and you were surprised to find how your heart hurt when reading his name. It could be the last day you'd see him, the last day someone would see you as a first choice. The outfit was beautiful and your heart fell even more. Your friends came first no matter what and there was no time for you to have doubt but still, the thought stayed in the back of your head. That maybe you didn't have to choose them. It only rang louder as you walked into the Mikaelson's mansion. You were looking for one of the Salvatore's or even Caroline, someone that you knew so you didn't feel so out of place. Then someone cleared their throat. You had turned to see Elijah, the somewhat trustworthy original. "I'm afraid we haven't met yet. Elijah Mikaelson."

"Y/N." You were more nervous than you thought you would be but then again the deal was only the hybrid, not his family too.

Elijah smiled wide, "Ah, yes, my brother speaks greatly of you."

Before you could ask him any questions, like what exactly Klaus had said, you were whisked away without being excused. You were starting to get tired of everyone grabbing your arms. "Forget which original you're supposed to be chatting up?" Damon hissed.

You pulled your arm out of his grasp, glaring as you did. "He came up to me and, unlike you, I actually have manners."

His piercing stare had stopped being threatening at some point. You had stared into the eyes of the beast and found acceptance, Damon could never win against that. "Is there a problem here, love?" Hearing his voice had made your heart beat faster than you thought it could and you hoped it was too loud for either of their hearing to pick it up. From the way Klaus smiled, it wasn't.

Damon disappeared into the crowd, leaving you to goggle at the hybrid in front of you. He took your hand, kissing it like he did at the grill but it was different. You were both in fancy outfits at a ball and you were stupid enough to think that you understood him a little more. "You're captivating." And with his words, the thought you'd been having all night began to scream.

You pulled him closer, searching the crowd for anyone in ear shot. He had held you to him in worry as you looked up at him, "I need to tell you something." He stared at you intensely but there was a clinking of glass and he left to see his mother with a promise to be back.

"You can't fall for it." You jumped and turned to see Elena. She wasn't supposed to be here you, knew that much. She side eyed you, pretending to listen to the toast that was happening. "He's charming and manipulative, you can't fall for him."

You could very easily say the same about Damon but you kept your mouth shut. That was Bonnie and Caroline's place and you were always closer to Jermey anyway. "I'm not."

"I don't think you believe that." The toast ended and Elena's eyes followed the original witch up the stairs. You moved to stop her but someone took your hand and spun you into their arms. You caught yourself on Klaus' chest, smiling and for once not minding being manhandled.

"I believe you owe me a dance." He led you to the ballroom, a smug smirk on his face.

"I believe you never actually asked." You were always a pusher and from the way his smirk sharpened, he liked that about you.

He had let go of your hand, his own empty as he presented it to you. "May I have this dance?"

"You may." You took his hand and joined the dancing couples around you. "I don't really know what I'm doing." You whispered. He held you tight, his hand caressing your hip as you felt his breath along your neck.

"Just follow my lead." So you did.
