Klaus delivered 2 boxes. One contained the dress he gifted her, with a note. And the other were a pair of shoes. It was the prettiest dress she'd ever seen. And it came with gloves.

"Jewelry. I have tons of you need any." Rebekah was leaned up against the door frame.

She had one a robe and her hair was slicked on one side. If you looked at her face in this moment you wouldn't be able to tell off it was makeup or a natural blush, she looked very angelic.

"Bex, darling you're glowing!" She walked over to her mimicking little face touches.

"Oh thank you. Start getting ready!" She laughed blowing her a kiss before shooing her towards her clothes.

Her makeup was the only thing that needed to be done, with the exception of her jewelry.

Her dress fit perfectly around every inch of her body and she loved it so much. It was very classy yet elegant.

"Lauren Becall is so pissed right now." The blonde stood back to admire her work. It was the same thing  Lauren did with her hair.

"You know I met her?" She
turned to look at her atomic companion.

The pair headed downstairs with the rest of the family so Esther could set her rules.

"This is not an open bar. These are our friends." She smiled looking at Klaus.

Finn was glued to her hip. Every time she seen Esther there he was on her right. Never anywhere else.

"Where is Kol?" She sighed as she took count of all her kids, including Lana.

"I believe he's with his girlfriend." Finn spoke up. He smiled to himself and everyone looked at Lana.

She didn't look back at them but focused on her nails. She had on glove on and the other wrapped on her arm.

She came down the stairs after finishing her makeup and the room was full of people.

At the bottom of the stairs was Klaus and Elijah both smiling at her. She ran down the stairs and into their arms whispering to them.

"I missed being around people. Like actually." They laughed at her child like giddiness. She was honestly happy. She couldn't find Rebekah so she stayed glued to Elijah's hip for the time being.

He danced with her and introduced her to people some called her Nicole which quickly made her realize.

The waltz came on and she was quickly spun into Elijah's arms.

"I shouldn't be here..." She whispered low enough for him to hear.

He looked down at her and frowned. "Why not? You were happy."

She sighed looking around for any protruding faces. "They keep calling me Nicole. If someone else reminds that bitch took my face I—"

She was twirled into someone else's arms.

"Hello beautiful," The man smiled down at her. "I'm Damon."

He stared waiting g to hear her name. "Oh sorry— I'm Lana." She laughed at herself.

"I've never seen you before, new to town?" He dipped her looking deeply into her eyes.

"Woah baby blues, this isn't the waltz..." She looked him back in the eyes.

"The dance changed a few seconds ago, surprised you didn't hear, so what are you?"

She tilted her head at his question.

"You're obviously a doppelgänger, not my first rodeo. But we're you dead and came back to life or..." He raised his eyebrows at her.

She rolled her eyes and smiled at him.

"That's for me to know and you..." She looked over his shoulder and seen Kol with who she assumed was Nicole.

"Jealousy looks delicious on you." Damon whispered in her ear.

She walked him out to the back of the house and they sat talking for a while.

"You never answered my question Lana." He grabbed her hand.

She beckoned him to repeat it with her eyebrows like he did earlier.

"Are you here with anyone?" He smiled at her.

She sighed, "Now Mr. Salvatore...that isn't what you asked." She caressed his face with her hands which were covered in her velvet gloves.

"So what did I sa—" She twisted his neck and left him on the chair.

"I hate this little game of 20 questions." She kissed his head and stood up.

She turned to walk inside and seen Kol was alone by a door. She walked up to him and pushed him in the room.

She pushes him against a wall and frowns.

"What's wrong love?" he tilts his head and she smirks.

"I bet, she could never make you cry. Cause the scars on your heart are still mine" She kisses his cheek.

He scoffs and she frowns again. She vamps them over to a chair and she sits him down.

"Tell me that she couldn't get this deep." She points to a scar close to his heart and one by hers.

He didn't say anything. Which made her a little mad on the inside. She wouldn't show it to him though, not so fast.

"She can almost be the worst of me, too bad she's just eating off your dreams..." She covered her mouth while she laughed.

"Lana—" She covered his mouth with her glove-covered finger and shook her head.

"Let me know when you're ready to bleed..." She  got off of him and walked to the door.

"Baby you just need to send for me." She smiled at him before slipping out the door.

He sat there flabbergasted. He thought she died in spain the night he was daggered. That was in 1702.

After my friendly encounter with Kol I left back to the party. But was snatched into another room.

"Vampire hunter?" Damon held my arm against a wall.

"V-vampire?" I squirmed trying to get my arm from his grip. He's not as strong as he looks though.

"Stop acting innocent." He stepped closer.

"I don't know Salvatore...the sexual tension right now is off...the...chart."  If there was one thing I could do effortlessly it was seduce a one track mind.

He let my arm go and I leaned in. I didn't kiss him though. I just stayed there.

"Gonna make a move big boy?" I just smiled at him.

He tilted his head so he could see me better and smirked.

He leaned in an inch away— then the door opened.

"Seriously Nicole! Damon?" The blonde looked disgusted and horrified. She pulled me out the room and gave Damon a look.

"Look blondie— I don't know you, but blue eyes and I were almost kissing." I snatched my arm from her and she froze.

"Nicole stop playing. I'm telling Elena." She reached for my arm again, only for me to pull away again.

"I am not—"

"Nicole! I know we said to leave the lunatic original, but we didn't mean go to the psycho." The brown haired girl grabbed my arm pulling me outside.

"Why would I leave Kol?" I began acting like what I assume Nicole is.

They laughed and stood still.

"An original vampire. A human girl. You are literally his blood bag." The brown haired girl scoffed talking to me like I was a child.

"Plus," The blonde chimes in, "We said your plan was to get information. Not fall in love."

"Elena..." There was a voice behind her.

"Finally! Nicki right?" I pushed past Elena to shake the girls hand.

She stood there staring like I was her reflection. Her mouth was opened just as wide as her eyes.

"You're...Wow- Is this like...?" She started a sentence but never finished it.

"Doppelgänger..." Elena spoke up making me turn my head.

"Yeah yeah, Im not too happy to see my face was copied and pasted. You're my little spin off and aren't even in a pretty dress..." I took my glove off to caress her face.

"You aren't even the original." The blonde spoke up.

"Zip it blondie. I might take your pretty little ring off." I let go of Nicole and looked at elena.

"You are so much prettier than Kath. Haven't seen her have you?" I smiled at her.

Damon came out a few seconds later with another guy.

"Nico— not Nicole?" He stared at me.

"Names? I don't your names. Blondies." I snapped at them.

"Stefan and Caroline." Stefan spit out before Carolin slapped his arm.

"Oh well, I have to get going. Adios." I walked away with them all staring.

Damon found his way back to Lana revealing he knew she was a vampire. She was just happy that he wasn't an idiot.

"Want to finish what we started earlier?" He held his hand out for her to grab.

She stood thinking. She knew she couldn't be hung up on Kol but she could tell someone.

"Is that face a no?" He frowned at her.

She didn't realize she was making a face. She shook her head and grabbed his hand.

"To the bed room." She smirked at him as she jumped in his arms.
