Hi love. I wanted to ask you if you can do an Elijah fluff where the reader is a witch and she is Lucien Castel's little sister and she wants to escape from him. Elijah meets the reader and decides to take her home and take care of her till they kill Lucien. Elijah falls in love with her but doesn't say anything about it but when the reader comes back to the Mikaelsons after a walk, she comes full of bruises and blood and breathing heavily all because of Lucien. Elijah takes her upstairs and cleans her wounds and the blood realizing she has lots of scars anyway all over her body. In that night Elijah says everything about his feelings for her and you can add a bit of smut in here only if you want. I hope you will accept my request, I love your writing!❤
Oh boy Imma make this fluffy angst
Warnings: Fluff, Angst, Protective!Elijah, Smut 18+, Lucien being the worst brother, abuse, mentions of a loss of child
You shivered as walked while it was pouring rain after managed to escape from your older brother, Lucien. You were a powerful witch forced to do magic for your brother and over the years Lucien had abused you and controlling every little thing you did. When you both arrived to New Orleans and met with Klaus and Elijah again as memories flooded you seeing Elijah again.
You had been staying with the Mikaelsons when Elijah took you from your brother as the Original was worried you would get caught between Klaus and Luicen. While staying with Elijah, the vampire fell for you as you both seemed to have a deep connection since you understood Elijah so well. But while taking a walk your brother found you and had been the worst than he had ever been to you believing that you told the Mikaelsons his secrets.
You snapped out of your thoughts when you finally reached the Abattoir and right away the Mikaelsons were at your side. Elijah narrowed his eyes seeing the state you were in blood covered you as your dress was torn from the beating you escaped from.
"What happened little witch?"
"Lucien found me but as you can see I escaped. He is angry that I am leaving him."
"Here allow me to care for her." Elijah says trying to calm down moving over lifting you up. Once in Elijah's bathroom, you were fed Elijah's blood to heal and for the vampire to clean you up.
"Then leave Lucien to Kol and I." Klaus said smirking seeing how Elijah was looking at you. It was no secret to the other Mikaelsons that Elijah was in love with you as the Original was always with you.
"Has Lucien always been like this?"
"Centuries." You tell Elijah as you undressed getting into the bath and Elijah saw a huge scar on your back and looked over the other scars over your body. You jumped feeling Elijah's fingers touch your back and you looked over your shoulder seeing the dark look in Elijah's eyes.
"Did he do this?"
"Yes....I barely survived."
England, 1807
"How dare you! You ruined everything!" Lucien shouted at you as you let another cry as the whip hit your back. You shook feeling weak as your back bloody from the crack of the whip.
"Allowing some lowly servant to touch you." Lucien growled hitting your back with the whip again. You had slept with a butler that you fell for while Lucien already had plans to sell you off to some Noble.
"Being with his child! You did this to spite me didn't you little sister?" Lucien growled roughly pulling your head up by your hair making you cry out trying to tell him no. That night your maids found you bleeding, bruised and almost dead as they helped you.
"I lost everything that night. Lucien killed Adrian infront of me as another lesson and since then I stayed by his side."
"You don't have have to." Elijah whispered his touch gentle against your skin as you shivered leaning into his touch.
"He'll come for me."
"I will not allow him to take you from me." Elijah says surprised when you turned around kissing him making him growl kissing back taking control right away. You against Elijah's mouth and soon found yourself pressed against his bed.
"Elijah." You said softly sounding breathy reaching up touching Elijah's bare chest as his hands moved along your bare legs. Elijah leaned down captured a nipple in his mouth pulling a soft mewl from you as a pleasure shot down your back.
"Beautiful and sound so sweet." Elijah purred against your chest moving to your other breast pulling more heavenly sounds from you. Elijah pressed soft gentle kisses on every scar on your skin as he made his way down your body. You felt like you couldn't breathe as Elijah had buried his face between your thighs.
"Eli...I..can't...." You were cut off by a loud moan arching as Elijah flatten his tongue on your clit. Elijah growled against you pulling you closer by your hips enjoying your taste as he relished in your sounds.
Your hand found his hair pulling it as you came on his tongue and he finally pulled away seeing how wreaked your were. You looked teary-eyed up at Elijah feeling him settle between your legs licking his lips leaning down kissing you deeply. Elijah let out a low moan as he sank into your dripping center.
"There we are my sweet witch. You feel incredible." Elijah groaned into your neck rolling his hips and marking your neck as you gripped his shoulders. You felt the wind be knocked out of your lungs as Elijah gave his first real thrust.
"Eli....harder." You whimpered moving your hips to match his thrusts as Elijah lifted your legs up over his shoulders getting deeper. Elijah looked at you with dark eyes as he thrust harder as his thumb found your clit watching you arch off the bed.
"Look at you, unable to speak. Is my little witch close?" Elijah says lowly, his baritone voice like pleasure to your ears as your gripped the sheets. You were shaking tears falling from your eyes as Elijah smirked hitting the right spot seeing you throw your head back crying out loud.
You were unable to speak as Elijah pressed your knees against your chest thrusting harder growling when you bit his shoulder cumming hard. You whined as Elijah came feeling him kiss your damp neck, your chest heaved looking at Elijah.
"I love you." You rasped out voice raw from screaming his name as Elijah felt his heart fluffer and kissed you softly
"I love you more, little witch." Elijah said just as softly pulling out and moved to clean you up. You woke up hours later feeling Elijah's arms around your waist pulling you close and you looked seeing it was dark out.
"You alright baby? You should be sleeping."
"Yes....thank you Elijah."
"For what?" Elijah asked softly pressing kisses on your skin as you rolled over nuzzling his chest."
"For saving me."
"Always and Forever."

Title: 'Tied to one' part five
Pairing: Poly!Mikaelson x Black!Witch!Reader
Warnings: Fluff, Soft!Mikael, Possessive!Mikaelsons, Protective!Mikaelsons
Summary: Now that Hayley's mistake had been undone, the siblings have their soul mate back and now they were planning a ball.
A/N: I know Mikael is a huge asshole in the series but I know there had to be moments where Mikael loved his children and maybe soft with them.
Part one - part two- part three - part four
"Come on little warrior. Show me your punch." Klaus heard Mikael say as the hybrid looked into the den finding Y/N knitting smiling as Mikael was infront of a three year old Hope who was sitting watching the older man with a smile high-five his hand.
"She is three, Mikael."
"Niklaus threw his first punch at three." Mikael said rather proudly as Hope grabbed Mikael's hand and Y/N smiled while Klaus stopped his siblings from walking in. They listened also never having seen this side of Mikael in a long while.
"Finn was always with Esther and Elijah followed his brother so when Niklaus was born I took to him well." Mikael said helping Hope stand ad Y/N smiled listening watching the man soften which didn't surprised Y/N. Hope seemed to be able to soften the worst of the Mikaelsons.
"Then Kol was born, my wildest son. Did they tell you of the time I found him stuck up in a tree?"
"Pffft no. How did it that happen?"
"Some how Niklaus and Elijah told Kol that there was Fæ lived high up in the trees so it was early morning. I wake to find both of my oldest sons panicking as a five year old Kol was perfectly fine sitting on a branch."
Mikael smiled hearing Y/N burst with laughter while her soul mate's hearts fill with warmth seeing the soul strings lighting up.
"Oh that sounds terrible. They must have been a hand full."
"Every much so. Even more when Rebekah and Henrik were born. Now what of you, little witch?" Mikael asked looking at Y/N seeing her smile as Hope tried climbing up into her lap which Y/N helps her while Mikael sits in a chair.
"I was raised my grandmother after losing both my father and mother due to a hunter. I have two older brothers but unsure where they are." Y/N says there was a sadness in her tone but there was warmth in her tone too.
"Hunters don't go after witches."
"My father was a vampire. An ex Strix member met my mother and apparently he was the leader's right hand man. The leader saw it as a betrayal from what my grandmother told me." Y/N said angring her soul mate's as her and Mikael fell in a comfortable silence as Hope fell asleep against the witch.
Of course Klaus went all out when throwing a ball as Mikael stood by Y/N glaring and growling at men that stared too long at his children's soul mate. Y/N was dressed in a gorgeous ombre dark blue backless flowy dress with long sleeves that the vampire helped pick out.
"You know that you don't have to scare off men, yes?"
"You are my daughter-in-law, future mother of my grandchildren call me overly protective." Mikael said as Y/N giggled flushing seeing the vampire head over to Rebekah and Freya seeing two male wolves getting too close.
"My my aren't you a gorgeous witch." Y/N jumped hearing a voice say and looked seeing a handsome man who was smirking eyes raking over her form.
"I apologize, when are my matters. I'm Lucien Castel." Lucien says placing a kiss on Y/N's hand and of course her soul mates heard the Sired and was watching every closely with narrowed eyes.
"I'm Y/N La Croix."
"Oh, Beatrix's granddaughter. I see you had gotten your grandmother's beauty." Lucien says making Y/N flush looking away feeling shy. Klaus stepped up with a possessive hand on her waist eyes narrowing at Lucien who raised his hands.
"Love, Elijah wishes of a dance. Lucien and I need to catch up." Klaus says kissing Y/N's temple as the witch looked between the two then head over to Elijah. The Original pulled her into a dance pressing a kiss against her hairline while watching Lucien closely.
"Is that Lucien fellow dangerous?"
"No, he is mostly harmless. We won't let him near you or Hope." Finn says as Y/N sat on a couch taking a break from dancing with Hope in her lap and looked over seeing Hayley dancing with a wolf.
"Who is that with Hayley?"
"Jackson Kenner, her real soul mate." Kol says sitting next to Y/N kissing her neck smiling seeing Hope curled up in the witch's arms falling asleep. Y/N stood up with Finn and Kol was about to follow but the witch just told them she'll be fine. The witch headed up stairs to ready Hope for bed but paused when the girl pointed to an owl.
"Owl."
"I know Hope." Y/N cooed kissing the girl's head putting her to bed as the snowy owl watched them. Y/N watched Hope for a moment while making sure she was comfortable. The witch squeaked feeling arms around her waist but relaxed seeing it was just Klaus peppering her neck with kisses.
"It is cold tonight so I get to sleep in your bed to keep you warm." Klaus whispered to not wake Hope as he smiled against her skin feeling her relax in his armsthen took her to bed.
Next morning Y/N was on the phone with her grandmother as the older woman called for a daily check up as the witch was baking with Hope in a high chair watching with a smile.
'I had gotten word your brother, Kaine is in New Orleans with Aidan. It seems they tracked the Strix there.'
"That explains the snowy owl last night. I can feel their magic."
'Hmmm be careful my sweet. Now tell me more of your soul mates.' Beatrix says in a soft tone happy for her granddaughter as Y/N began gushing about her amazing soul mate's.
"Darling, this is a big grimoire." Freya says as Y/N out an old book that was quite thick as she opened it looking for a spell they needed.
"It was my mother's, my father had it made for her. Now here are, channeling the sight." Y/N says to ready a spell to double check the prophecy Lucien's witch showed Elijah and Klaus. Elijah stepped into the room with Finn seeing Davina and Freya standing near by as Y/N sat chanting under her breath with a table infront of her while she flipped different tarot cards.
"How long has she been at this?"
"Two hours now." Freya says seeing Y/N starting a new row of tarot cards when she suddenly stopped getting their attention as both vampires were at her side right away. There was four rows of tarot cards confusing the Originals as the others came in having heard Y/N's gasp.
"Baby, are you alright?" Elijah asked softly moving her hair from her face as Finn grabbed her some water.
"Yes just took a lot out of me." Y/n says sitting up taking the water drinking it as they looked at the tarot cards waiting for her to explain.
"So there are four different ways this prophecy plays out. The first row is what the witch showed you, second is if Nik and Elijah dies, third is if the first Sired gets what they want but this fourth one is cloudy...I don't know what could happen and it is the closest on to be true."
"Why so many? The witch was clear that what she saw was true." Elijah questioned feeling Y/N lay against him tired fighting to stay awake.
"Time......is like a river.....seeing possibilities for what could happen is what I did......if she could really see future then she should have seen what I did....Lucien is telling you what he wants you to hear."
"Well then I guess a few murders are in order." Klaus said smirking as Elijah sighed running his fingers over Y/N's hair. Elijah picked her up seeing how she was falling asleep while the family made plans.
"Hello sister." Y/N heard a smooth deep voice say making her turn around in the witch's market seeing her older brothers standing there. Y/N was our shopping for herbs shee needed so to see the older La Croix standing there made her heart sing.
"Aiden, Kaine!" Y/N squealed happily running up to her tall brothers their magic humming and strengthen. Kaine smiled softly holding his sister's hands happy to see her again. Kaine was dressed in a turtleneck and slacks, clean shaven his black hair slicked back. Aiden had stubble, wearing a white button up with slacks watching his siblings with a smile.
"Grandma said you two followed the Strix here." Y/N said looping her arm though Kaine's arm walking though the market as Mikael was watching from a distance.
"We did. Aiden here wants to make Tristan suffer but to do that we need our baby sister's help."
"Because of my old magic. Voodoo as the witches around here calls it but I'll love to help." Y/N tells her brothers as they helped her shop for herbs as they talked about what they missed in one another's lives and Y/N couldn't wait for them to meet her soul mates.

Pride, Love, Hunters and Vampires/2
Fanfiction
Part 2
Elijah Mikaelson x Elena Gilbert
ft. Kennett
a/n: this is my tvd/to version of Pride, Prejudice and Zombies.Yeah, Elijah Mikaelson is sort of Mr Darcy. LOL
Thanks for reading. xoxo
________
Valerie and Stefan returned to the house a while later, finding Elena packing.
"What has happened? The maid said that you had a visit. That - Elijah Mikaelson came to the house" the witch said and now saw Elena's case open, already half filled with her clothes. It meant that she was ready to leave-
"Please, don't tell me that you are leaving?" Stefan, the witch’s husband said.
"What has he done? Has he hurt you in some way?"
"He has done nothing." Elena replied."I - need to leave. I had some news from Caroline that there was trouble in Baton Rouge and I have to go."- the huntress pointed to the letter on the table. But Stefan knew Elena too well, and knew that this was not the reason she was in a hurry to get away.
"I somehow doubt that Caroline would send a word that she needed help. That is not in her nature."
Elena looked at the man, knowing that it would be in vain to continue hiding the truth behind her sudden wish to leave.
"Count Mikaelson and I had a disagreement. I just don't wish to see him if I can help it. And there is no avoiding the dinner with the Fells." Elena said.
"Please, don't go." Valerie said in an almost pleading voice."Whatever happened we will make sure to keep you away from the Mikaelsons."
Elena sighed and reluctantly agreed to stay, knowing how important it was for her friends to have her there.
¤¤¤
Elsewhere
Still feverish from Elena's rejection, Elijah rode for hours to calm his injured heart.
As he finally got back to the Mikaelson Mansion, he entered it like thousand devils were chasing after him. He passed his hat, gloves and coat to the footman in a brisk manner. He then ran up the steps, now followed by his sister Rebekah who had emerged from the side room as she heard the footman greeting the vampire. Elijah look shattered like he came out of carnage. The blondesped fast after her brother, imploring him to tell her what was the caused him to be so distressed.
"My dear sister, not now. I wish to be alone." Elijah said as he came up to his room.
"You are in such dreadful state of delirium, dear brother. I have not seen you like this since our brother Finn had been cut down by the witch-huntress. Please tell me that nothing happened to Niklaus. I could not bear to lose another brother." Rebekah begged, on the verge of tears.
Elijah turned to his sister, looking at her in a very serene manner. "Niklaus is fine. It is nothing like dreadful like that. I have - I have had an unpleasant accounter, that is all. Nothing for you to worry your pretty little head over. It trully is nothing that cannot be dealt with."
Him giving her a little smile, reassured the blonde and she now nodded a little, her heart calming.
"I have some correspondance to deal with and I must get on with it. When I finish, I will have tea with you in the drawing room." Elijah said.
Rebekah nodded pleased about the prospect that her favourite brother will spend some time with and then exited his room, closing it behind her.
Elijah drew a long deep breath, and undoing his tie he slang it on the bed. The delirium seemed to return the moment Elena's words shot back in his head-
"You are mistaken, Mr Mikaelson, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentlemanlike manner."
“Gentlemanlike manner” the vampire sifted and splashed his face with some water to try and cool down. But his pierced heart now burned like it was hit by a myriad of hellish suns and he now wiping his face,sat down at the table and got a piece of paper and started writing a letter.
Some half an hour later he rang for the servant and he asked him to take it to the Salvatore house and hand it to Elena personally.
And as the man delivered the letter, Elena went to the small parlour and opening it, read the following-
"Dear Lady Gilbert,
I am not writing to renew the setiments which were so disgusting to you, but to address the offences you accuse me of.
I did not intentionally wound your friend. It was the most unfortunate consequence in protecting my dearest brother. Kol's feelings for Miss Bonnie Bennett were beyond any I have witnessed in him, or indeed thought him capable of.
The evening of the dance in Mystic Falls, after overhearing the elder coven talk of how there was nothing better than to place a witch in the nest of the most eligible vampire bachelors, and in one family in particular, it being us, the Mikaelsons.
I persuaded Kol of the unfitness of the match, despite the obvious belief that a witch and vampire could not marry, as there is one truth my family had kept hidden for centuries and that is the fact that my mother and my father came from both sides. If I wounded Miss Bennett's feelings it was unknowinlgy done.
As to your other accusations of having injured the DeMartel siblings and Lucian Castle- no sooner than my father had written his last Will and Testament, as he loved them as if they were his own children, leaving two estates to them in case of his death as we fought the LaRue witch coven at the time, my father, my mother and my brother Finn were struck down. I have acted upon my father's Will.
They squandered it, whereupon they demanded more. I refused and he severed all his ties with us. Last summer, Lucien Castel started a relationship with my fifteen year old sister, convincing her to elope. As you know, we, my brother Niklaus and myself were battling the wolves and the the dark vampires in the north of the country, we were unaware of their
liaison, until a letter had arrived from my sister that she was about to get married. Lucien's prime target was her inheritance and the Mikaelson blood, which he intened to use selling it to the Bayou witches, revenging himself on us was his additional target.
Fortunately, we were able to stop them. I hope this helps explain and perhaps mitigate my behaviour in your eyes.
All I have done was to protect the one thing I value the most, my family. In all my life I have learned this -
of all the weapons in the world I know now LOVE to be the most dangerous one, for I have suffered a mortal wound. When did I fall so deeply under your spell Lady Gilbert, I cannot fix the hour or the spot, or the look or the words that have laid the foundation. I was in the middle before I began. What a proud fool I was.
I have faced the harsh truth that I can never hope to win your love in this life. I will find solace battling the hybrids in the most northern part of the country.
I wish you all the happiness of this world,
with sincerests of thoughts,
Always and Forever,
Elijah.
Elena now got up taking her coat and ran out of the house. Stefan followed her asking what had happened. But Elena just shook her head without giving the man and answer. As she got to the stables, she asked the servant to prepare her horse. The servant went and she now turned to her friend. But she said nothing.
"Tell me what is the matter?" Stefan was not letting it go-”It’s Elijah Mikaelson, right?”
Elena nodded, but still said nothing.
“Something is going on between you and him. He and his whole family are nothing but misery.”
"Please Stefan, not now. I will tell you later. I have to go. I’ m sorry" the huntress then mounted the horse, the servant brought to her and rode off in a haste.
Valerie, who came from the garden, now asked her husband why Elena went off like a fury.
"I don't know, my love, but it is nothing good." Stefan replied.
"There has always been trouble with the Mikaelson family. I just hope it is nothing deadly." Valerie remarked.
"I hope so, too. For Elena's sake." Stefan said and now took the basket from the witch.
The man and the woman then walked back to the house holding eachother under the arm.
¤¤¤
Elena rode with her heart bursting out of her chest, hoping that she would find Elijah at the Mikaelson Mansion. Arriving there, she rushed in the house, forgetting her manners, demanding to see Elijah.
"The Count Mikaelson is away." the footman, who opened the door said to her.
“What do you mean - away? When? He couldn’t have,” Elena said agitated,”he probably has told you that he does not wish to see me. But, I need to speak to him. Urgently”
Klaus, having arrived not long before Elena, having heard the commotion, now appeared from upstairs and telling the footman that he would now speak to the lady, asked the huntress why she was so eager to see his brother.
"I need to speak to him. It's a matter of utmost urgency." Elena said in a great huff.
Klaus looked at the brunette inviting her now into the Parlour and said-
"Whatever it is you can say it to me and I will be happy to pass on the message."
"I wish to speak to him - alone. In private, if you don't mind." Elena said.
"Whatever it is, it will have to wait as Elijah has left for business to the North." Klaus said.
"Business?" Elena let out perplexed.
"Yes. Why would that be such an unusual notion?"
"Because- his letter stated something completely different." Elena now said.
"His letter?" Klaus looked surprised that his brother would have any kind of correspondence with her.
"Yes. An hour or so ago, I had received a letter from him-" Elena replied and then stopped for a second, now tearing up- guilt rising in her chest. She turned away for a moment, drying the eyes off with a finger.
"I did not know that you and my brother share correspondence?" Klaus said somewhat worried now.
"We don't, but- it is - what it is," the huntress shook her head."Anyway- in the letter he states that he is travelling up North to fight the hybrids."
Klaus could not believe what he was hearing, as well as the fact that Elena knew about the hybrids.
"I am not who- I pretend to be." Elena now said to the vampire. "I am a huntress."
"You are - what?" Klaus looked at the brunette wide-eyed.
"Yes. But now, this is the least of the problem.You have to go and stop him. I would do it myself, but I can't travel North till the spell is cast on me." Elena said-"and if he dies, I don't wish to be accountable for it."
"Why would you be accountable for it?"
Elena now told Klaus about Elijah's proposal and her refusal, which obviously brought on the decision to go North.
"Oh, no!" Klaus now said knowing his brother being capable of doing such a mad thing. He now stormed out of the parlour.
___________
Klaus spared not a second to ride after Elijah and stop him from going to the most Northern part of Louisiana.
Elena left the Mikaelson house immediately after Klaus had left the Parlour. There was nothing more she could do at the present moment but to hope that his brother would catch up with him and persuade him to return.
As she arrived back at her friends' house, she was met by her brother Jeremy, who had no good knews from Mystic Falls.
"The Martin witches are dead, as well as Sheila Bennett." Jeremy informed his sister.
"What? How? When did this happen?" Elena was beside herself as she knew how much Bonnie loved her grandmother, but she was equally sad for her friends,Luka and his father Jonas.
"We can't establish what magic it was, and if it was the dark magic the vampire-witches used. They were slaughtered in their own house. Sheila Bennett was with them." Jeremy explained. "Bonnie had a vision and we fear that the Dark vampires are on the rise again. They are preparing an attack on Mystic Falls. I need you. I can't do this on my own."
"Yes. We have to leave immediately." Elena said. She now turned to Valerie asking her if she could send her clothes off to Mystic Falls on.
"I am going with you." Stefan then said.
"No, Stefan. You have to stay." Elena said and the man, who was once a hunter himself, disagreed.
"You can't come with us. You have to look after Valerie, especially now that-"- Elena stopped there as it was not her place to tell the man that his wife was expecting a baby. Having glanced at Valerie, the witch now told her husband what she had shared with her friend that very morning.
"I suspect that I am pregnant." Valerie said. "I have yet to confirm it by a doctor, but I am quite sure of it. I hope you are not cross with me as I have shared it with Elena first, before you."
"How could I be cross? This is the most wonderful knews ever." Stefan said now warmly embracing his wife.
Jeremy congratulated them on the news and then looking at his sister, urged her to get ready to leave as soon as possible.
And so, not long after they were away to Mystic Falls, that lay in the heart of Louisianna.
¤¤¤
Sometime in the night, Klaus managed to find Elijah in one of the Inns just before the Northern border. As the Inn keeper showed him where Elijah took up the room, he went straight up to his room, entering it without knocking.
Elijah shot out of his bed taking his sword and pointing straight at his brother. Seeing that it was Klaus, he put the sword down and asked astonished to see him there. "How on Earth did you know where to find me?"
"Miss Gilbert told me of your silly intention." Klaus said.
"Elena? I mean - Miss Gilbert talked to you?" Elijah was astounded to hear it.
"She has also told me about your proposal of marriage. I must say that this has come as a great shock I must say. What were you thinking? Do you know what she is?"
"I do. I know very well who and what she is." Elijah said.
"Someone must have worked some strange spell on you to act in this manner! I cannot comprehend that her refusal hit you to make such a mad decision to abandon everything, especially your family?!"
"I was - I was overcome with emotions" Elijah said gulping and his brother now saw that this cut the vampire deep.
"You are truly in love!" Klaus stated.
"You have no idea how profoundly I feel for her." Elijah said now falling on the chair.
Klaus knew how reserved his brother was and that he would never give into his feelings if they were not genuine.
"But to do this! This is suicide. This is wrong, no matter how much your heart is suffering."- Klaus said and sat down on the neighbouring chair-"at least she had some sense to come over to the house to alarm us."
"She came to the house?" Elijah now asked.
"She did indeed." Klaus confirmed. "She is not completely heartless. I must say she was very - distressed. A tear had escaped her eyes."
"What are you saying?" Elijah could scarcely believe what his brother was saying.
"Whatever you wrote in that letter to her, it had moved her intensely." Klaus said.
Elijah now got up, hope striking his heart again.
"Maybe she had a change of heart." Klaus said.
"Maybe." Elijah said.
"Come brother. Let's leave. Let's go home and - well, try and win your Lady back." Klaus said.
Elijah nodded in agreement, and the brothers left the Inn soon after.
¤¤¤¤
Week or so later, in the North-western border
Elena walked in the house which her fellow Hunteress, Hayley Marshall-Kenner was occupying.
"I have put some tea on. It was a rough night." Hayley said to Elena, who had blood all over her.
"Thank you. I will take a bath and soon will meet you down. How are you?"
"I am - I don't know what I am. I miss- Jackson. I hate that I have no word of him still. It has been days now- and -"
"You fear the worst" Elena concluded.
The Huntress nodded and added "You are lucky that you are not attached. Because - the pain - the pain of not seeing him - maybe ever again- is unbearable."
"Yes, I guess- it is somewhat - easier. But, I have a brother, who is keeping watch on the eastern western border and - I know how it feels."
"I am sorry, I completely forgot about your brother." Hayley said.
"It is fine. You have a lot on your plate." Elena said and then excused herself and went to the bathroom. Her mind now wondered away, but not to her brother, but to the vampire that crawled up in her heart. Elijah Mikaelson. His letter was wedged in her heart and his words would rise up out of nowhere all the time
'I was in the middle before I began.'
Was she also in the middle before she began feeling for him too. She could not tell. As their first meeting was not a good one. His face miserable, disinterested, bored by the company he was surrounded with, even though he was polite and entirely civil. And yet, somehow, after they have been introduced, they seemed to have always end up in each other's company.
Flashback
Josephine LaRue, a dear friend of the Mikaelsons now seeing Elena approaching, said-
"My dear Count Elijah Mikaelson you must allow me to present this young lady to you as a very desirable partner. You cannot refuse to dance, I am sure, when somuch beauty is before you." She took Elena's hand and presented it to Elijah, who was not unwilling to receive it. But Elena instantly drew back, and said with some discomposure to the old witch-
"Dear Lady LaRue, I have not the least intention of dancing. I entreat you not to suppose that I moved this way in order to beg for a partner."
Elijah, with grave propriety, requested the honour of her hand, but in vain. Elena was determined. She looked archly, and turned away. Her resistance had not injured her with Elijah, for he was thinking of her with some complacency, and Elena knew that already having overheard him talk with his brother, who had already urged him to dance with her earlier.
"She maybe a beauty, but underneath this sweet facade there is nothing that could tempt me. I do not have time for idle girls."
How she resented him saying these words. It was a wretched beginning. And now her heart was the opposite. Now, her heart thought of him warmly, wondering if his brother had managed to persuade him to return and not go to the battle field. Deep inside she prayed that he was well and that nothing dire happened to him.
As she finished bathing, she got dressed and went to take tea with her friend.
"I have put the fire on." Hayley said. "Please help yourself with some tea. I have to talk to my steward for a second."
Elena nodded a little and poured some tea for herself, taking a sandwich as well. As she had a sip and a bite she sat down on the bench in front of the fire. The warm, cosy feel made her feel relaxed. She looked at the gleaming light and the play of the flames, drifting away -
"Elena"- Elijah said as he appeared at the door -"I can't stop- I can't stop loving you and came all the way here to tell you- that you are my all."
And then she opened her eyes snapping out of her daydream, looking at the fire.
"Elena, are you all right?" Hayley said as she sat down next to the the Huntress.
"Yes." Elena replied shortly. Her heart restless from the dream she had for a second there. She then turned now asking the woman what she was holding in her hands.
"This is a list of the dead hybrid witches. I have so hoped that it was a note from Jackson."
"He will be fine." Elena reassured her fellow huntress,so to speak.
"Have you not - got someone?" Hayley now asked.
"Me? Ahm- no, not really." Elena replied with a sigh.
"But you are in love, are you not?" Hayley asked.
"I - I think I am. Yes, I am, but we - can't be."
"I am sorry," Hayley said and added,"Oh, how I miss Jackson. I really hope is all right. I would not able to continue living if something happened to him. I should not have let him go."
Elena now comforted Hayley, her own thoughts with Elijah.

New Orleans, days after
Elijah said goodbye to his sister Rebekah, who went shopping with her dear friend Camille. Klaus entered the house and went with Elijah to the Parlour.
"Any news?" Klaus asked.
"None." Elijah replied."Nothing comes or goes beyond Mystic Falls. The Army has cut all the correspondence and they are not letting anyone through still. Especially our kind."
"I know. They are afraid that we could get infected," Klaus said,"the imposed Quarantine is for a good reason."
"I just hope she is fine." Elijah said worried.
"Well, one thing is for sure, she is one woman that can look after herself."- Klaus said.
"That I do not doubt." Elijah said and looked through the window longinly, drifting away in his own daydream.
"How could I ever make amends for my behaviour?"
"Elijah, please-"
"My dear Elena, you coming to the house has taught me to hope as I scarcely allowed myself before. My affections are not changed, but one word from you would silence me on this subject forever. If however, your feelings have changed-"

"My feelings- oh, my feelings - they are - changed. They are very changed."
A footman now knocked at the door, walking in with a notice for the Mikaelson siblings.
Klaus took the note and as he read it, his face changing into a very grim one.
"What?" Elijah said.
Klaus passed the note to his brother and as Elijah read it, his heart stopped a beat. "No, dear Gods,no!"
"Dear Count Mikaelson,
it grieves me to have to write this note to you. All the North-eastern front has been overtaken by the Hybrid Witches and the Hybrid Clans. I am sad to tell you that my dear friend Elena has perished with all the other Hunters.
Sincerely, Valerie Salvatore."
