wild eyes, tamed heart

Hey guys, My names Elijah. You can call me whatever you want, it doesn't really matter to me. But if you must nickname me I prefer Eli. Anything else you want to know or ask, you know what to do :)

[illuminate-the-shadow]

Afraid to say you were not my preference - but I’m certain there are enough girls waiting for you to be their prince charming.

[elijah-mulvoy]

Sorry, but I'm already someone's... Prince Charming...

[veronicatrout]

I have no idea… although it appears as though we’ve both been nominated for king and queen.

[elijah-mulvoy]

Well then, I guess it could be worse, couldn't it?

[elijah-mulvoy]

So... who nominated me for Valentine's Day King?

Who, me? Nah, I’m just your friend and someone who cares. A lot.

[elijah-mulvoy]

it's good to know you do. I like knowing that.

I Can Feel Your Heartbeat|| Elijah & Veronica

[veronicatrout]

Veronica gently lifted his face and steadily looked into his eyes, “Elijah, I don’t know how you could think that. You are perfect.” She gently pressed a kiss onto his forehead and sighed as she leaned back in her chair smiling like a fool.

[elijah-mulvoy]

He looked back at her this time taking both of her hands into his. "No, I'm not. I'm really not... but I think with you I might get closer then I've ever been. Veron, you're my North Star; you lead me back home. And it make sense doesn't it? I mean, home is where the heart is, and you've stolen all of mine." Elijah was breathless as he reached forward colliding his lips into hers. Elijah wasn't a man of many words, and he could never express himself easily. But something about Veronica made it so easy. He could say things to her that he never thought he could ever say to anyone. You should tell her. You need to tell her. Elijah didn't want to think about secrets now. He just wanted to feel her lips on his. He just wanted to be with her in this moment forever. He just wanted her.

I Can Feel Your Heartbeat|| Elijah & Veronica

[veronicatrout]

Veronica looked at Elijah completely shocked. “Why? Why?! Because one night I decided to go get a midnight snack and I ended up meeting this kind, giving, loving, amazing person that is you. I am so happy to have met you and I need you to understand that. I need you to believe me because you make my heart race, and my palms sweat, and right now, looking at you I feel butterflies in my stomach.” She looked into his eyes smiling softly as she tried to reassure him of her feelings.

[elijah-mulvoy]

He laughed in disbelief, reaching her hand up to his lips and kissing. "I guess I just didn't know anyone could feel that way about me." he admitted. He was sure his eyes were shining, and he could feel his cheeks burn from his smile but he didn't care. She choose me. She actually choose me.

I know, I know. No one’s expecting it to be easy. I’m here for you and I see you for the magnificent person you are.

[elijah-mulvoy]

Thanks Lucy. You're amazing, do you know that? god I hope you know that.

[elijah-mulvoy]

I Can Feel Your Heartbeat|| Elijah & Veronica

[veronicatrout]

Veronica gently lifted his face and whispered, “You can ask me anything,” She giggled as she felt his breath on her cheek. “I wouldn’t lie to you. I hope you know that.” She saw an emotion flicker so quickly through his features she wasn’t sure it was even there, but she cast away her thoughts as she awaited Elijah’s question.

[elijah-mulvoy]

Elijah smiled gently, and took her hand in his, looking straight into her eyes. "I just wanted to ask... why me? Of all the guys in the school, why did you choose me? I mean... you're amazing... and I'm just... me..." he sighed, exasperating a huge breath. He wished she could feel the wave of warmth her smile produced; the electricity he felt every time his skin touched hers. She was close to perfect, and he wasn't. But around her, he felt good enough. Around her, he felt better.

I Can Feel Your Heartbeat|| Elijah & Veronica

[veronicatrout]

Veronica blushed furiously and looked everywhere but his face as she said, “I like you to. A lot actually.” She smiled and finally looked back up at Elijah. She almost gasped at the emotions swirling in his eyes. She’s never really had anyone look at her this way and it made her heart race. He made her heart race. And even as she was enjoying the growing feelings inside of her she couldn’t help but be terrified as well.

[elijah-mulvoy]

Veronica smiled nervously as she stared back at Elijah from across the table. Elijah got up from his side of the table and walked towards her. "Can I ask you something? And answer honestly." He sat on the table next to her, looking down at the ground.

Listen to me, you will never be normal. And that’s okay! In fact, that’s a good thing! You’re not some slave to the moon, you overdramatic baby. You are Elijah Mulvoy, part extraordinary human being, part were wolf by chance. It doesn’t define you but you can’t ignore it either.

Basically, what I’m saying is, learn how to live with yourself in a healthy way first, then deal with Veronica. Something tells me she wouldn’t be the best person to tell anyway.

[elijah-mulvoy]

I'm trying Luce... I really am. It's not as easy as you think, but I'm really trying to fix myself. I just need someone to not see me the way I see me...

I don’t know right now, but we’ll figure it out together. I promise. The end of the school year isn’t far away, we have time to work it out. Liv…I don’t know what to say, but we’ll work through that too! It’s not your fault. You were too young, you couldn’t control it. It’s not your fault! It was never your fault! All that’s important now is that you’re working on it. You’re getting better. No one else is gonna get hurt, Eli. That’s not you anymore.

[elijah-mulvoy]

I just want to be normal Lucy; that's all I've ever wanted. My family, Veronica, you, they've all made me feel like I'm more then just some creature that's a slave to the moon. But now,my family's gone, I can't even look Veronica in the eyes and tell her what I've done; and... Lucy, right now, you're all I have. I don't want Veronica to see me like this. I want to protect her... from me. I don't want her to know this side of me exists, but it's getting so hard.

[veronicatrout]

Veronica gaped at the scene before her. “It’s breathtaking,” she answered. She smiled as she saw his face sigh in relief and gently grabbed his face, “Why would you ever doubt the beauty of this place? You certainly know how to win over the ladies.” She giggled nervously at her lame joke and let go of his face refusing to look him in the eyes as she walked around admiring the landscape even more than before when she was interrupted by Elijah coughing nervously. He glanced at an elaborately set up table and a wide smile spread across her face as she slowly made her way to table. She sat down and looked up to see Elijah seated across from her giving her a small smile. This boy is going to be the death of me. “You were right,” she blurted. She laughed as his brows went up in confusion, “This is be the best first date I have ever been on.” A smile so big it looked like it hurt appeared on his handsome face and she smiled right along with him.

[elijah-mulvoy]

Elijah smiled, watching Veronica's face from across the table. "I just wanted to... to let you know. That, I really like you." Elijah laughed nervously, hoping that this was all enough to make Veronica realize that he wanted to be wither her more then anything. She made him happy, and god only knows he needs that now.

Oh, oh Elijah. I can’t say I know how you feel or that everything’s going to be alright, but I can say that you are not that monster. It wasn’t you who did that and that’s not you now. You are the most kind, loving, caring man I have even had the privilege to know and I know that the you now would never dream of doing that.

Just know that I’m here for you, with tons of tea and blankets. We all see you as the amazing man you are today, not a monster, a human being who turns into a loveable fluffball once a month.

[elijah-mulvoy]

I just... I don't know what to do with myself anymore. Where will I go? What am I going to do? I have nowhere to go. I graduate this year Lucy. I don't know what to do with myself. Me and Liv, we were close. I always vowed to protect her, since the day she was born. And now? She can't even look at me. She's afraid of me... I didn't have to hurt her, I could have stopped myself, he didn't have to take control of me like that... I-I could have helped!

Elijah, I would never in a million year judge you. Never.

[elijah-mulvoy]

Lucy... before I cam to school, before I meet you... I wasn't always good at handling what I am. I hated it even since I found out. Being locked away in our cellar every full moon, it killed me. But what really hurt, was they way everyone saw me. The way I saw me. One night, I didn't want to do it... change. I didn't want to take my tonic or go to the cellar, I refused. My dad practically dragged me down there and chained me to the wall and forced the bottle down my throat. I hated it. I wanted to hate him, but I knew he just wanted to look out for me... When he left, I spit the tonic out, and I tried to get out of my chains. I thought I could just leave for a little while... that I could control it... 

There was an accident… I got out, I didn't mean to hurt her, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I got out, I wasn't me Lucy, I didn't mean for any of it to happen. Liv, she just wanted to help, she thought she could help but-but no one could! I went back there, to apologize but... they kicked me out Lucy. They don't love me anymore, they don't want anything to do with me! He did it again! I-I let him in again. I let him take over and I… I became the monster everyone sees when they look at me. I know that’s what the professors see, what you see, what my parents see… Liv… I… she hates me…. my own sister hates me, she never wants to see me again!

Come on, spill. We both know it’ll just beat you up if you don’t talk about it. Come on, I’ll make you some tea.

Ouch, you make me sound like a criminal.

[elijah-mulvoy]

I don't know Luce... I trust you but... I don't want you to know what I've done...

Ugh, I’m fine! I wish everyone would stop bothering me about it.

And what’s that about? Fine? That doesn’t sound…fine.

[elijah-mulvoy]

It's... complicated. And I'll stop worrying when you are safe and not fighting people for sport.

Oh, same as usual. Avoiding schoolwork, practicing dueling pretty much all day. Did you know you can reach a point of muscle soreness where you just don’t feel your muscles any more?

What about you? How’s your family?

[elijah-mulvoy]

Unfortunately, yes I do... every full moon. But how's your back? You're not pushing it too hard are you? Please tell me you're taking it somewhat easy. I'm finally out of the hospital, I don't want you back there now.

And they're... fine.
