*gif isn’t mine*

“Y/n! Wake up!” You sat up immediately, hearing your step-sister’s voices yell from downstairs.

“I’m up!” You shouted back. You got out of bed, putting your robe over your nightgown. You opened your curtains, taking in a few moments of peace before you had to deal with the monsters that were downstairs.

You went downstairs, seeing Caroline and Rebekah painting their nails.

“Hi, Y/n! Mind doing my laundry?” Caroline asked.

“Sure,” you nodded.

“My God, Y/n. Get dressed will you?” Rebekah remarked.

“You guys would have yelled at me if I didn’t get down here quickly,” you said.

“Hm, true,” Rebekah said, tilting her head to the side. “Anyways, do our laundry. Mother wants eggs and bacon for breakfast.” You nodded, “Alright.” You went to pick up the laundry baskets that were sitting next to them, walking over the laundry room.

“Make me some eggs, too!” Caroline called from the living room.

“One more thing to add to the to-do list,” you muttered in distress.

You loaded up the laundry machine with their darks, starting it and going over to the kitchen. You turned on the stove, getting a pan and a carton of eggs out.

“Hey now, hey now. This is what dreams are made of,” you sang quietly, nodding your head to the beat that was playing in your head.

“What have I said about singing? Your voice is retched, child.”

Esther, your step-mother, said as she walked through the kitchen.

“Sorry, Miss,” you said, keeping your eyes fixed on the eggs that were cooking in the pan.

“Add some salt and pepper, you know that Caroline likes them flavoured,” Esther said, sitting down and opening up the newspaper.

“Yes, Miss,” you said quietly.

“And speak up. No one can understand you when you mumble,” Esther said sharply.

“Yes, Miss,” you said loudly.

You flipped over the egg, seasoning them. You got a few plates, getting ready to transfer the eggs. You cooked the rest of them breakfast, settling the plates, napkins, and silverware all on the table. You went back to the fridge, getting out an apple and two pieces of bread for yourself. You went to sit at the table, but Esther stopped you.

“You eat in your room,” Ester said.

“B-But I thought-”

Esther put her hand up, silencing you with her magic. “I said eat in your room.”

You nodded, turning away and carrying you food. As you went to the stairs, you passed Caroline and Rebekah who looked at you with their fangs, veins circulating under your eyes.

“Have fun,” Caroline smirked.

You put your head down, avoiding your step-sister’s gaze and climbed up the stairs. You closed your door quietly, slumping down on your bed. You ate your breakfast, getting up to shower and get ready for the day.

You put on cinnamon-brown jeans, a mint-green, long-sleeved shirt, and a brown tank top over your shirt. You put on black flats and tied front pieces of your hair back with a ribbon. You put some concealer, natural-coloured chapstick, and clear mascara that your friends had secretly gave you. You had to hide them under your bed so Esther wouldn't find them. You wished you were allowed to have more, but you knew that if you did, Caroline and Rebekah would notice the makeup and get you busted, which as the last thing you wanted.

You grabbed your purse that your mother had given you when you were a child, before she died. You then went downstairs, going down to the laundry room to transfer the washed clothes to the dryer, putting in a new load. As you were putting in Caroline and Rebekah’s lights, both of them walked in.

“Where are you going dressed up like that?” Rebekah asked.

“Out to the stores,” you answered simply.

“Why? You never asked mother,” Caroline asked, leaning against the washer.

“It's Friday, and I always go to the store on Fridays. It’s part of the routine you and the Misses had laid out for me,” you said.

“Oh. True. Well, don’t get in trouble, Y/n, otherwise mother- or us-will have your head,” Rebekah hissed, her eyes going dark and red.

“I know. I won’t,” you said, starting the washer.

“Have fun!” Caroline said in a sickly-sweet voice.

You turned around, rolling your eyes at them. You quickly walked out of the house, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the sunlight on your face. You never got out much, but when you did, you cherished it as much as you could.

You walked into town and spotted your best friends, Elena and Bonnie, over at one of the food stands.

“Hi!” You smiled.

“Y/n! You made it!” Bonnie squealed, going over to you and pulling you into a tight hug.

“Yeah, Caroline and Rebekah were asking questions about why I was going out. God, they are so dumb,” you chuckled.

“So glad you aren't like them,” Elena chuckled, pulling you into her embrace. You hugged her tightly, a sigh of relief leaving your body.

Your mood always brightened when you were with them, which was only once a week. Two if you were lucky.

Elena and Bonnie lived in town, too, just a few houses away from you, actually. Luckily, their parents weren’t dead, and their mom’s loved them and let them have lots of freedom. You had met them while you were shopping for yourself, looking at new shirts. Elena worked at the store at the time, telling you that you would look amazing in the shirt you were looking at. You had met Bonnie at the supermarket. You both got into a conversation about the better type of orange juice, with pulp or no pulp. You two had decided on a friendly agreement and became friends immediately. They were the only ones stopping you from running away from home, and/or staking your sisters and killing your mother.

“Me, too,” you smiled. “So, have you heard the news?” Elena asked, pulling away.

You furrowed your brows in confusion. “About what?”

“About the royal family! King Alaric is throwing a ball for his sons tonight,” Elena explained.

“Word is, Alaric wants them to get hitched,” Bonnie smiled.

“Oh, no, I haven’t heard about that,” you said.

“You should totally go! Bon and I are going, obviously,” Elena chuckled.

You smiled sadly, “I wish I could go, but we all know Esther wouldn’t let me, no matter what.”

“What if you do double the chores all week?” Bonnie suggested.

“Even if I did, Esther would always find a reason for me not to go,” you sighed.

“Well, it’s always good to ask, even with a mother like Esther,” Elena said.

You thought for a moment. “Maybe I will.”

Bonnie and Elena smiled excitedly.

“If you were to get married one of the princes, who would you marry?” Elena asked.

“I would want Prince Jeremy. He is so handsome. Plus he’s human,” Bonnie said, looking to the sky dreamily.

“I would want Prince Damon. Stefan is cute, too, but I’m into the bad, vampire boys,” Elena giggled. “That you are,” Bonnie chuckled. “What about you, Y/n?”

“Hm, I don’t know. I think Caroline would go for Klaus, and Rebekah would go for Stefan, so probably Prince Kai,” you answered.

“The witch? Good choice,” Elena smiled.

“Yep. I don’t need a husband as a vampire when my step-sisters are ones,” you said. “Well, Esther is a witch. What about her?” Bonnie asked.

You shrugged. “She’s just mean to me, she doesn’t actually terrorise me all the time like her daughters.”

“True. Well, I think you and Prince Kai would so be adorable!” Elena exclaimed.

“Imagine you go and he picks you to be his wife!” Bonnie said.

You laughed, “That would be… amazing. But those things only happen in fairytales and if we were living in a fairytale, my life wouldn’t be hell.”

“Well, I am hoping it does happen. You deserve a better life,” Elena said.

You smiled at her, “Thank you.”

“You also deserve a totally hot boyfriend that is part of royalty,” Bonnie smirked.

"I don’t care about the royalty part. I mean, yeah, it would be so awesome to be a princess, but all I want is a nice guy who supports me and wants kids someday,” you shrugged.

“Ugh, and this is why you are amazing girlfriend material!” Elena said.

“So are you two!” You said.

“Please, you are by far more kind than us,” Bonnie said.

You rolled your eyes. “You two are more kind. You befriended me.”

“Because you have awesome taste in clothes, and you are so loyal and funny. Things we all value in friendship,” Elena smiled, nudging Bonnie.

“Ah, I am so glad I have you two,” you said.

“We are glad to have to you, too! So, wanna shop around for dresses?” Bonnie asked.

“I told you guys I’m not going,” you said.

Elena and Bonnie took your hands, dragging you into a clothing store.

“At least try something on?” Elena pouted.

You sighed in defeat, knowing they wouldn’t stop trying to convince you. “Alright, aright! Lead me to the ballgowns.”

They both clapped your hands excitedly, walking over to the dress section.

“Hey, El, isn’t the ball also a masquerade ball?” Bonnie asked. looking at a emerald-green dress.

“Oh, I think so! Here, I’ll get use some masks and you two look for dresses,” Elena said.

You nodded, Elena walking over to the back of the store. You looked at a few dresses, you finding a violet-purple ball gown. It was strapless and the skirt was like a mermaid tail. You picked out a couple more: a short, red dress that had spaghetti straps, a dark-green ball gown and an elegant, blue gown. You and Bonnie waited for Elena to pick out her dresses before you went into the dressing rooms.

You tried on the red dress first, taking the black mask and putting it over your face. You went out, seeing Bonnie in a black ball gown and Elena in a white gown.

“Wow, you two look gorgeous,” you said.

Bonnie smiled, “Thank you. I’m not sure if I like how it fits, though.”

“Yeah, me too. I look like the Pillsbury man,” Elena chuckled.

“I don’t think I like this one, either” you said, looking at yourself in the mirror.

“I think it looks nice!” Elena complimented.

“I like it, too, but we can all try on the other ones,” Bonnie said, walking back into her dressing room.

You and Elena followed her lead, changing into your next dresses. You had changed into the violet gown, not liking its itchy material on your boobs. Elena had changed into a yellow one, not liking how it looked around her hips. Bonnie changed into the emerald-green one that looked absolutely gorgeous.

The dress straps clasped around her neck, leaving her shoulders and back open and bare. The top of the dress had a gold and green design, it trailing down to your waist, the skirt of the dress going down and flowing out in solid green past your feet. She was wearing a black mask and black heels to match.

“Pick that one,” you and Elena said.

“You think I should?” Bonnie asked.

“Yes!” You squealed.

“Alright. Well, I guess I’ve found my dress,” Bonnie smiled.

You went back into the dressing room, changing into the dark green dress with a gold mask. Elena came out with a fuchsia pink dress. It's neckline was a sweetheart, the dress highlighting her curves, going down and and fanning out at the skirt. She wore a light pink mask and black pumps.

“That is your dress, El,” you breathed out, amazed by your best friends beauty.

“I think so, too,” Elena smiled excitedly.

“You look so beautiful, Elena,” Bonnie said, admiring the dress.

“I think I will pick this one, then. Y/n, are you gonna pick that one?” Elena asked.

“I don’t know. I have one more, though,” you said.

“Well hurry and put it on!” Bonnie exclaimed.

“Alright, alright,” you giggled.

You took off the dark green dress, changing into the big, light blue ball gown. You put it on, gasping as you saw how it looked in the mirror.

The straps went across your shoulders, puffing out slightly. The stomach of the dress fit you nicely, showcasing your curves. The skirt of the dress was like a traditional ball gown, fluffy and fanned out. You put on a silver mask and white, open-toed heels. You looked in the mirror, admiring how stunning you looked.

“Can we see it?” Elena called out.

“Oh, yeah!” You said. You picked up the skirt, pushing the dressing room door open.

Bonnie and Elena gasped in surprise.

“Okay, now you have to go to the ball,” Bonnie said.

You smiled, “I really like it.”

“Oh, me, too. Wow… you look… just wow,” Elena said. “If Prince Kai saw you in this, he would melt.”

You sighed, “If only I could go.”

“Hey, remember to at least try and ask,” Bonnie said.

You nodded. “Right, yeah. I’ll try.”

————

You waked back to the house a few hours later, carrying some grocery bags. You unlocked your front door, opening to see your sisters running around with their hair half-done, lipstick smudged, only in their underwear.

“Um, what’s going on?” You asked.

You heard the clicking of heels and saw Esther coming down the stairs.

“Haven’t you heard? The king is throwing a masquerade ball tonight!” Esther exclaimed.

“Oh, right,” you said. You lowered your gaze, thinking of a way to ask Esther if you could go or not.

“Why are you quiet, child?” Esther asked.

You looked up at her through her lashes. “I, um… I just wanted to ask if I can go with you to the ball.”

Esther raised her brows and looked to her daughters. “Caroline, Rebekah. What do you think? Should Y/n be able to go to the ball?”

“Only if she helps up get ready,” Rebekah said.

Your eyes lit up and you looked to them. “Yes, yes I will. I’ll do anything.”

Esther smirked. “Alright, you can go. Just help them get ready.”

You nodded and smiled at Esther. “Thank you.”

“Why, of course. Now get to work,” Esther said.

You nodded, going over to Caroline and Rebekah’s room to help them get ready. You first did their makeup, making it elegant and light. Next, you did their hair. You straightened Rebekah’s har, pining it up in a braided bun. You then curled Caroline’s hair, brushing it out and leaving it down. Last thing to do was get on their dresses.

You did Rebekah’s first. She had chosen a beautiful, light yellow dress. It had a sweetheart neckline, the top lining of the dress having jewels. The dress went down her waist, hugging her in all the right places. The bottom then flowed out and was ruffled. Caroline’s dress a white, mermaid tail dress. The dress was strapless and hugged her body nicely. The waist had a shell on it, the middle of the skirt having beads going across, and another shell at the bottom. Then the dress bottom was cut, like a mermaids tail, and then fabric came out and puffed out at the bottom. Rebekah wore a black mask and Caroline wore a baby blue one. As much as you hated them, you couldn’t deny they looked stunning.

“Thank you,” Rebekah said, admiring herself in the mirror.

“You’re welcome. You two look amazing,” you said.

“We do,” Caroline giggled.

“Can I uh, go and get ready?” You asked shyly.

Rebekah and Caroline smirked at each other.

“Sure, go ahead,” Rebekah said.

You nodded, hurrying off to your room. You went to your closet, finding your mother’s old dress that you had kept after she died. It was a pretty pink dress with thrills and ruffles. You put it on, putting your hair up into a braided bun like Rebekah’s hair. You slipped on your back flats, looking to the clock to see that it was 30 minutes until the ball started. You rushed downstairs, seeing Esther with her daughters, also dressed up.

“Alright, I’m ready to go,” you said.

Esther looked at you, laughing. “No, dear, you’re to going.”

Your scrunched up your face. “What? What do you mean?”

“Well one, you’re not wearing a mask, two, did you think we would really let you go?”

You were at a loss for words. “I-I-”

“Ugh, and that dress is absolutely horrid,” Esther said. She lifted her hand, using her magic to tear your dress to shreds.

Tears pooled in your eyes as you saw all the fabric land on the floor. “No! No! This was my mother’s! No, please,” you cried.

Caroline and Rebekah laughed at your crying, enjoying the scene.

Esther stopped tearing your dress apart, and walked up to you. She put her hand on your chin, holding up your head roughly.

“You will never ever be able to go to the ball. You will never ever be able to go into royalty. You will grow up in this house and stay the maid. You are worthless and a burden. You hear me?” Esther muttered.

Your bottom lip quivered as you nodded slowly.

“Good. Now, clean this up. Such a mess in here,” Esther said, walking away and to the limo that awaited them.

“Ta-ta!” Caroline giggled.

Rebekah shot you a nasty smile before walking to the carriage.

You fell to your knees once they left, picking up the pieces of the dress in tears.

“Why, oh why me?” You blubbered, looking up to the ceiling. “Why is this my life?”

You gathered all the pieces of the dress, throwing it away. You went into the back garden, going over to the tree where your mother’s grave was at.

“Oh, mother,” you sobbed, sitting down next to the tree trunk. “Why are they so mean? So… heartless?”

“They have never known love before, Y/n.”

You were about to respond when you realised someone was actually talking, someone you didn’t recognise. You looked up, seeing a beautiful, mystical woman standing in the garden.

“H-Hi. Who are you?” You asked softly. “I’m Abby, your fairy godmother,” she smiled.

“Oh,” you said. You stood up and walked over to her. “It’s nice to meet you, Abby. I’m Y/n. What do you mean fairy godmother?

“It’s nice to meet you, too, dear. And well, I see over you and come to you when you need me the most. I heard you are having some trouble tonight?” Abby asked.

You nodded, “Yeah. It’s my step-mother and step-sisters. They’re going to the ball tonight and said I could go if I helped them get ready. So I did, but at last minute they said I couldn’t and my step-mother ripped my dress.” You gestured to the mess was still on your body.

Abby nodded, “I see. Well, I have a solution.”

Your eyes widened, “What is it?”

“Close your eyes, dear,” Abby.

You followed her order, closing your eyes tightly, biting your lip in anticipation. A few moments later, you felt a weight on your hips and material across your shoulders.

“Open your eyes now,” Abby instructed.

You opened your eyes, looking down and gasping. You were in a dress, the same dress from the store. Abby held a mirror up to you, to which you looked in, admiring the dress. Abby had curled your hair, pinning up the sides with bobby pins.

“Wow, how did you…?” “I am a witch, love. Magic isn’t all evil, you know,” Abby smiled.

You chuckled, “I suppose.”

“Here’s your mask. Go ahead and go to the ball,” Abby said, handing you the silver mask.

You tied the mask around your head. “I don’t have a ride, though.”

“Yes, you do. Look in the front of the house and you’ll see your own limo,” Abby said.

“Oh, wow. Thank you,” you breathed out. “Of course, babe. I must warn you, though, the magic will end at midnight, so you must come home then. I hope you have fun,” Abby smiled.

You went over to her, pulling her into a tight embrace. “Thank you so much, Abby.”

Abby hugged you back, pulling away and setting her hands over shoulders. “Of course. Now, go! Have the night of your life!”

You giggled and nodded, going over to the front of the house to see a limo waiting for you. You breathed out excitedly, going into the carriage. You rode to the palace, the limo stopping so you could get out. You saw the ball had already started, so you hurried to the doors.

As the doors opened, it seemed as time stopped. You entered the ball room, all eyes turning to you. You smiled kindly, lifting up your skirt and walking down the grand staircase. As you walked down, people whispered amongst themselves at how gorgeous you looked.

“Who is she?!” Rebekah exclaimed.

Esther glared at you, “I don’t know, but ignore her. Tonight we are trying to charm the king and his sons. You two get to work.”

Rebekah and Caroline nodded, hurrying off to find the princes. They weren’t the only ones staring longingly at you, either. Apparently, you had caught the eye of the second-youngest prince, Prince Kai.

He had seen you make your grand entrance, not being able to take his eyes off of you as you looked stunningly beautiful, even in the mask.

“Eyes for her I see,” his older brother, Damon said.

“Yes. She’s gorgeous,” Kai breathed out.

“Go and ask her to dance, son,” Alaric nudged his son.

“No, what if she says no?” Kai asked anxiously.

“What girl wouldn’t say no to us?” Stefan smirked.

Kai sighed, “I suppose. Wish me luck.”

“Go get ‘em!” Damon exclaimed.

Kai rolled his eyes as his brother, going over to you nervously. As he got closer, it was clear your beauty outshined everyone else’s. He couldn’t help but smile, you looked so kind and sweet.

“Hi there, Miss,” Kai bowed in front of you.

Your heart started to pound as you recognised him as Prince Kai.

“H-Hi, your majesty,” you said and curtsied.

“Please, call me Kai,” he said.

“Alright, Kai,” you smiled.

Kai’s heart fluttered, liking the way his name sounded in your voice.

“I couldn’t help but notice you. You look beautiful. I was wondering if you wanted to dance?” He asked, putting his hand out.

Your eyes widened in surprise. “You want to dance with me?”

“Yes,” Kai smiled. “Why wouldn’t I?”

“I… I’ve just never been asked to dance is all,” you said bashfully.

Kai smiled at your shyness, thinking it was cute. “Well, it would be an honour to be a part of your first dance.”

You chucked. “Yes, I’d love to dance with you.”

You took his hand, feeling tingles rush up your arm and to your spine. Your eyes went up to his shining grey ones that were already looking at you. You could tell he felt what you felt, too. A small smile appeared on both your faces as Kai led you onto the ballroom floor.

Kai put on of his hands on your waist, holding your other hand up. You put your free hand on his shoulder, intertwining your fingers. The action gave you an intense amount of butterflies.

You two started swaying to the orchestra, keeping eye contact at all time.

“For someone who says she’s never danced, you’re quite good at it,” Kai complimented.

“I like to dance in my room. It’s something my mom and I did when I was a kid,” you explained.

“Me, too, before she died,” Kai smiled sadly.

“I heard about that. I’m sorry,” you said.

“It’s alright. She was the best mother a boy could ask for,” Kai said.

“My mom passed away, too,” you said.

a/n- omg shared trauma, so romantic

“I’m sorry for your loss,” Kai said.

You shrugged, “It’s alright. It’s been 10 years, so I’m okay.”

Kai smiled, “You’re very strong,”

“Thank you. So are you,” you said.

“Why, thank you. I have to ask, are you a witch or vampire?” Kai asked.

“I’m a human,” you said sheepishly.

Kai smiled. “Ah, one of the pure ones. Lucky.” “I suppose I am. I bet it’s amazing being a witch, though,” you said, remembering how Abby made a dress appear on you out of thin air.

“It is, but sometimes people use it for evil,” Kai said.

You chuckled, “Yeah, I know all about that.”

Kai furrowed his brows under his mask. “What do you mean?”

“Oh. My step-mother is a witch. She treats me like garbage,” you laughed sourly.

“I’m sorry to hear that. Here, let me show you how magic is supposed to be used,” Kai said and took his hand off your waist.

“Alright,” you nodded. He kept holding your hand, leading you off to the back of the palace and into the garden.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful and peaceful here,” you said, admiring the rose bushes and fountain.

“It is,” Kai said.

You looked to him, seeing a rose appear in his hand.

“Wow. That’s so cool,” you smiled.

He held the rose out for you to take. “Yes, it is.”

You took the rose gently, putting it up to your nose and taking in its sweet scent.

“This is wonderful. What else can you do?” You asked.

“Anything, really. Anything your heart desires,” Kai said.

“Hm,” you hummed. “I wish I could have a different family,” you said.

“I’m afraid that’s something I can not do,” Kai frowned.

“I assumed that. It’s okay. When I’m 18, I plan on moving out and finding a job. Earn money and open up a makeup and clothing store with my best friends.”

“Ah, you have goals in life; admirable. Are your friends here?” Kai asked.

You looked back to the ballroom, spotting them immediately. “Yes. Bonnie, the one in the green dress, is dancing with your brother Jeremy, and Elena is dancing with Damon,” you pointed.

Kai looked with you, smiling. “It seems my brothers have found their true loves.”

You smiled with him. “Yep. So it seems.”

“As have I,” Kai said smoothly, looking to you with a glint in his eye.

A heavy blushed painted your face, causing you to look down shyly. “You think so?”

Kai smiled and took your hands into his. “I do.”

You smiled widely, moving in closer to him. Right before you were going to press your lips onto his, you heard the clock strike midnight. Your eyes widened and you jerked back.

“I… I have to go,” you said, picking up your dress and running through the field.

Kai looked at you, confused. He followed you, seeing you go out the back way and down the stairs.

“Wait! Don’t go!” He called out. “I didn’t even ask your name!”

You turned back, “I’m sorry. It was so nice meeting you. I had lots of fun.”

You focused back on running, tripping over a step and losing a shoe. You cursed to yourself, but kept running, feeling your hair come out of it’s bounds. You went into your limo, telling your driver to hurry and drive you home. As you got home, your dress disappeared and you were back in your mother’s ripped dress and black flats.

The limo dropped your off at home and you ran inside the backdoor quickly, grabbing a broom to act like you were cleaning the floor. You put the mask and rose in your room, hurrying back downstairs and started sweeping into a dustpan. As soon as you started sweeping, Esther and her daughters came back into the house.

“Oh, Y/n. Did you have fun cleaning?” Rebekah giggled.

“I did,” you nodded.

“Wish you could’ve seen the princes. So yummy,” Caroline smiled.

“Not Prince Kai. He went off with a wench,” Rebekah said in disgust.

“Oh. How sad,” you said, faking your despair. But on the inside, your heart was filled with happiness.

“She looked so familiar. Poor Prince,” Esther said.

“Why do you feel bad for him?” You asked.

Esther narrowed her eyes at you. “Because he could have Caroline or Rebekah, but he chose some common girl.”

“Well, she looked gorgeous, so maybe that’s why,” Caroline said.

You looked at her, your eyes softening. This was the first time you ever heard her say something nice about someone other than herself.

“That’s a really nice thing to say, Caroline. I bet she would appreciate it if she knew,” you said.

Caroline looked at you, a ghost smiling forming on her lips.

“Go and get ready for bed, ladies. It’s late,” Esther said, keeping her eyes on you.

Rebekah and Caroline went to their rooms quietly. You went to put the broom away, but Esther stopped you, putting a hold on your arm roughly.

“Don’t think I don’t know you’re up to something, child. When I find out, I will make sure you regret ever living,” she muttered into your ears.

You nodded, keeping your head down and mouth shut. She let go of your arm, walking away and upstairs to her room. You sighed and went to put the broom and dustpan away, making your way up to your own room.

You spotted the rose and mask on your bed, smiling immediately. You got ready for bed and set the rose next to your pillow, falling asleep with it, hoping to see Prince Kai in your dreams.

Meanwhile you were sleeping, Prince Kai and his family were trying to figure out a way to find you.

“And you didn’t ask her name?” Klaus asked.

“No, I was so wrapped up in wanting to dance with her and show her magic. I forgot,” Kai frowned.

“Man, brother, you are screwed. Meanwhile, Jeremy and I have found our soulmates,” Damon smirked, putting his arm on Jeremy’s shoulder.

“Don’t be so rude, Damon,” Jeremy said.

“Oh, but it is true. I have met the love of my life, too,” Klaus smiled.

“As did I,” Stefan smirked.

Kai rolled his eyes at all of his brothers. “You all are no help.”

“You can try a location spell?” Stefan suggested.

Kai’s eyes widened. “You’re right! How would I do one of those?”

“You’re the only witch the family, how would we know?” Damon retorted.

“Kai, I have your mother’s grimiore that will help,” a sweet, soft voice said from outside of his room.

Kai looked over to see his father’s wife and his step-mother, Queen Jenna. He looked thankfully at her, taking the book from her hands.

“Thank you so much, Jenna,” Kai said.

Jenna smiled and put a hand on his shoulders. “Of course. I saw how you two connected. It was magical.”

“It was, wasn’t it,” Kai chuckled.

Jenna nodded. “You'll need a map of the town, which is in your father’s study. I’ll go and retrieve it. Do you have her shoe?”

“Yeah,” Kai said.

“Good. Meet me in the dining hall. Boys, you’ll want to come, too,” Jenna looked at the rest of her step-sons.

They all nodded, moving towards the dining hall.

Kai met Jenna in the dinning hall, setting the shoe and the book down on the table. Jenna laid out the map on the table.

“Alright, so you’ll need to find the locator spell in the grimoire,” Jenna instructed.

Kai nodded, flipping through the pages until he finally found it.

“Okay, read aloud the spell and make sure to focus really hard on the girl and her shoe. The shoe should land on the location where she’s at,” Jenna said.

Kai closed his eyes and started to chant. “Phasmatos Tribum, Nas Ex Veras, Sequitas Sanguinem.”

As he said the spell, the shoe moved across the map and the heel stopped at your location.

“Woah, I wish I was a witch,” Jeremy said in amazement.

Kai opened is eyes, looking towards the map and seeing you lived in one of the small neighbourhoods. You lived about 30 minutes away from him.

“Alright, I will go in the morning,” Kai said. “Thank you, Jenna.”

“Of course, Kai. Now, you all get some rest. We’ll meet in the morning,” Jenna said, taking the map back to her husband’s office.

“I’m going to find her,” Kai muttered, smiling to himself.

————

You awoke the next morning, seeing the rose next to you. A smile lit up your face, your mind replaying the memories of last night. You took the rose gently, putting it to your chest, close to your heart. You were about to go back to dreaming about Prince Kai and you when you heard yelling from downstairs.

“What is going on?” You muttered to yourself.

You put on your robe on, tying your hair up before going downstairs. You opened your door, your eyes widened at the scene in front of you.

Caroline and Rebekah were fighting, Esther trying to use magic to break them up.

“What’s happening?” You asked.

Esther looked up at you. “It was announced this morning that Prince Kai was coming over here to find the mystery girl he danced with. The girl left their shoe.”

“Did you two dance with him?” You asked. You couldn’t help but smirk as you knew you did, and they didn’t.

“No, they didn’t, but they think the girl who did lives here,” Esther said. Her eyes widened as she put the pieces together. “You!” She exclaimed, pointed her finger at you.

Your smirk fell and your heart started to race. “I-I… What do you mean?”

Esther climbed up the stairs. “I don’t know how you did it, but you were at the ball, weren’t you? That’s why you looked so happy last night.”

You shook your head, “No, no. I was at home.”

Esther leaned close to you, backing you up into a wall. “I warned you what will happen when I figured out what you were up to.”

“No, I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean-”

A knock at the door stopped your speech. You tried to get out of Esther’s grasp.

“You will not get anywhere near him,” Esther spat. She shoved you into your room, using magic to keep the door shut until she broke the spell.

“No, no! Let me out! This is not fair!” You exclaimed. You pounded against the door helplessly, but you knew that she had also put a sound protecting spell on your door.

You slid against the door, tears streaming down your face.

“I was so close… So close,” you sobbed.

Your eyes wandered to your bed which still had Kai’s rose on it. You sniffled as you crawled over to your bed, and took the rose in your hands. Your smelled the flower, remembering what Kai had said to you last night.

“You’re very strong.”

You opened your eyes. “I am strong,” you said to yourself. You got up and went back to the door.

“Alright, if I kick it in hard enough, I might be able to open it,” you said.

You balled your hands in fists, putting your leg up and kicking the door. Nothing happened. You did it again and groaned with frustration.

“Dammit,” you muttered. “C’mon, Y/n. You can do this.” You kick it again. And again. And again. You groaned in frustrated.

“C’mon, open!” You yelled. As you did your sixth kick, your eyes glowed golden. An enormous amount of strength entered your body as your foot came in contact with the door, allowing it to finally break open.

You stood in your doorway, slightly sweaty, but looking heroic. Everyone looked up at you with wide eyes.

“W-Who is this?” Kai asked.

“Oh, she’s just the maid,” Esther smiled sweetly at him. “Go on, maid.”

“No, I-I’m not the maid,” you panted.

“Wait you… you sound familiar. And your eyes… oh, my God,” Kai breathed out.

“What?” You asked, not understanding.

Rebekah looked up at you gasping. “She’s a werewolf!”

“What?!” You exclaimed.

You put your finger in your mouth, feeling fangs grow out from your gums.

“Oh, god,” you muttered. You decided to deal with your newfound identity later and focus at the matter at hand.

“Let me um… Let me try on the shoe,” you pleaded. “Please. I promise, I’m the girl.”

Kai’s eyes widened. “I… Alright. Um, come down to try on the shoe.”

You nodded, hurrying down the stairs. Kai came up to you, looking at you with those soft, grey eyes he had. He slid the shoe on your foot, it fitting just perfectly.

“This is not enough evidence!” Esther exclaimed.

You glared at her, then looked at Kai. “I have the rose you gave me last night. The rose you gave me while using magic in the garden. I-I go and get it.”

Kai shook his head, a smile appearing on his face. “No. The fact that you know what happened last night is enough evidence for me.

You let our a breath of relief. “Oh, thank God.”

“I… I thought you said you were human,” Kai said.

“I am- was. When I was kicking down the door, I must have activated my werewolf gene,” you laughed.

Kai smiled, “Well, I don’t care. I’m glad I found you. I knew I’d find you.”

“Me, too,” you smiled.

You moved closer to him, snaking your hands around his neck as he put his hands around your waist. Kai leaned in closer, your heart rate spiking as you knew what was about to come next.

Kai pressed his soft lips to yours, a million of butterflies unleashed in both of you. You pressed your body up to his, Kai’s hold on your waist tightening. As you kissed him, you felt at home. Safe, happy, and complete.

You pulled away, a big smile forming on your lips.

“Come to the palace with me?” Kai asked.

You nodded with a laugh, “Most definitely.”
