The Forbes' Mate N.Mikaelson

Chapter 4: The Last Dance

"Me too," I add.

"Maybe he's not here. Just wants us to believe that he is," Stefan said looking around warily.

"It's a party people. Blend," Damon says and smiles. "Let him come to us."

"Good idea," Bonnie said and grabbed Jeremy and pulled him to dance and he protested.

"There's Ric. We'll be back," he grabbed me arm and dragged me along to him. Once we get to Ric I speak to him.

"If you don't stop pulling me, I will bite your ear off and feed it to you," I whisper in his ear and he smirked.

"Feisty, I like that in a women," he is trying to be sly. Two can play that. We got up to Ric and he looked at our conjoined arms.

"Your not my type," I state ask we stood by Ric still talking.

"Bet I can be," he replied more snarky than usually.

"Bet you couldn't," I look at Ric as he was questioning it too.

"What's your type? Nerds and dorks, fictional, or Damon Salvatore," he jokes. " I mean look at these icy blues." He smirked. Ok get off your cocky high horse.

"I like romantic, kind, but still can kick ass in honor of my name. Blue eyes, yes! Black hair, nah! I'm more into blondes." I smile and see Ric laughing. Presumably at his friends failed conquests. He rolled his eyes and tries to change the topic.

"So what about that Maze," he pointed to where Dana was. I froze completely and Ric saved me.

"Special dedication, huh," he sighed "this guy a little twisted." I look at him confused.

"I'm not impressed," Damon looked at the crowd for Klaus.

"I'm just... confused. Out of all the girls here, why me? I'm nothing special," I signed biting my lip in a thinking matter. I see Ric stare then look away and I giggle. "What? I got something on my face or something, Ric?" He looks nervous.

"It's just, how do you not think your special? Look at you, a beautiful, smart, and kind young women, and she thinks she's not special. But you are, Mazikeen you are!" I tear up, heightened emotions, I guess. I hug him, I don't really know him but I hug him. It feels like Niks hugs. I let go and turn back to Damon.

"You said your not impressed," I asked him.

"Nope," Damon replied quickly.

"No,"  Alaric questioned.

"Let me know if you see anything outta whack," Damon deflected.

"So, this is weird. Wanna dance," he smiled. I held out my hand for him.And he took it.

After awhile I left and found Bonnie and Elena outside.

"Hey, what's happening," I ask casually.

"Bonnie wants to-," Elena was cut off by Ric yelling.

"Elena," Ric said out of breath.

"What is it," she asked fear and confusion lacing her words.

"He has Jeremy," Ric said and I was confused.

"What, " Bonnie and Elena said in unison.

"Yeah, Klaus has Jeremy. Come on," we all ran for the door.

We're walking in the hall when Elena breaks the silence.

"Ok, so where are you taking us ," Elena asked out of breath.

"Just a little further," he practically sang.

"Wait. Something isn't right," I mutter in almost a whisper.

"Where's Jeremy," Bonnie asked fear in her voice. He starts the chuckle and I feel chills go down my spine.

"I just had to get you away from that dance. The sixties, Uchh. Not my decade," he continues to chuckle. "I means who's call was that, anyways. I much prefer the twenties. The style, the parties, the jazz."

"Alaric. Are you on vervain?" Elena asks out of breath.

"Now why would you ask me that question, Elena?" He chuckled.

"He's been compelled," Elena said backing up.

"Nope. Try again," he said

"What's going on," Bonnie steps infront of us. I pull her back.

"Ok, I'll give you a hint," he walked forward and we walked back. "I'm not Alaric." Omfg!

"Klaus," I blurt out and gulp hard.

"Surprise," he said like a maniac. I step infront of them, as a shield.

"Oh,no. No it's not possible," she stuttered out in fear I held my ground the best I could.

"Just relax, Elena I'm not here to hurt you, you're not on my hit list tonight," Alaric said gesturing to her. "You I could never hurt you," he said while caressing my cheek while I just looked at him in fear. He points to Bonnie. "But you are," I looked scared for her.

Alariklaus ran for Bonnie and she throw him back. He starts laughing.

"Now did I mention that I know a witch," he questions. "Your going to have to hit me a lot harder than that," she thrusts forward painfully. He laughing manically.

"By all means.... fire away," he said like a person with a death wish. "If you kill this body, I'll just get a new one. Maybe Jeremy." I pull Elena.

"Come on, run! Run! Damnit,"  we run like hell and Bonnie thrusts the doors closed. We found Damon.

"What happened," Damon questions.

"Klaus, is in Ric's body," I state plain as say.

"What?" Damon bemused as hell.

"He's possessing it or something," Damon looks around.

"Go find Stefan. Now," she hesitates "Now!" I don't run but he nodded to me. I ran like hell. I push throw the crowd with Elena.

"Hey. Are you ok," Caroline looks at me and back at Elena. I nodded.

"Umm....yeah," she takes a breath. "I'm just... I'm looking for Stefan."

"Seriously what's wrong," I look down.

"Um, just,um. Stay with Matt, ok?" She smiled and I walked to find the oldest Salvatore.

I run into them to see Elena and Stefan at the door. I look the through and see Bonnie bleeding. And she smiled at us.

"No, no,no!" Elena whispered.

"No Bons, don't," I cried.

She then spasmed and fell to the ground.

"NOOO," we yelled in unison.

I run in and up to Bonnie. Then complete, utter darkness.
