Chapter Two: Family Meeting
How would you describe the feeling between regret and relief? The feeling of packing your bags after being confronted in your dreams by the man that wants to take your life away from you and driving ten and a half hours exactly, but discovering that the hybrid himself left to get you leaving only his brother Elijah, on the other side of the door of his New Orleans Estate.
Being invited in by the older well dressed original was strange. Kathrine said that he was Klaus's brother, and he wanted to help her but she couldn't risk her life for a man who was at his core conflicted by his want of his brother's redemption and his love for her.
He's beholden to his word but nothing will triumph over his promise of 'Always and forever" made to his siblings over a thousand years ago.
" I don't want to kill your brother or anyone else for that matter," words stumble out your mouth hoping that Elijah stops you.
He doesn't, instead, his brown eyes trace your face curiosity brightening his gorgeous eyes filled with a millennium of knowledge.
He understands his brother's reaction after visiting your dreams, rushing out the door and promising an explanation after his arrival with you, as his captive.
" I just want to be left alone, but I won't be bullied by your brother or your family." A small smirk graced Elijah's face, a small dimple appearing on the side of his cheek.
Watching your hands fidget as they betray the confidence in your voice as you stood your ground. Your eyes stayed firm in his pretending that you couldn't see the amusement on his face.
" Might I ask what you intended on doing if my brother disagreed with your sentiment of peace between the two of you?" The question lingered in the air for only a second.
" That's not an option that I can accept, your brother is a smart person, and I don't believe that he would pass up what I can offer him." He couldn't help but like the girl that stood in front of him. Her resilience reminding him of his baby sister Rebekah.
When the word of your existence first graced his ears he thought it was a tale, as he and his siblings are to most of the supernatural world that is fortunate enough to not know of the Mikaelson Family.
Yet whispers of an Elemental traveled through the channels of the supernatural community, finally being confirmed by Katerina in an attempt to relieve the bounty placed over her head by Niklaus.
" Don't leave us hanging love, What's stopping me from killing you where you stand?" A third voice asked, with a smooth English accent.
You knew that voice belonged to Klaus, but you refused to face him. Instead, you continue with Elijah, only clearing your throat slightly.
" Revenge over the witches that plague the french quarter," You finally look at him, the details of your dream flooding your mind every second your eyes rest on his frame. He looked the same as he did in your dream, the grey long-sleeve hugging his toned arms. " Hybrids."
" That's impossible." both brothers argued
Klaus knew that you were telling the truth. Honesty he hated the thought of any ie sipping through your full lips that fit your face perfectly.
Before you, Elementals were the boogyman of witches, told to baby witches to persuade them to use their power for good, but here you are. Your curls frame your face perfectly, slightly frizzy due to the New Orleans humidity.
" They want us gone, and if it's between us or them I choose us."
Elijah walked over to his brother, with no words, just understanding between the two. You were a better ally than an enemy, and that's what they were missing in this mission to reclaim their home.
" Well don't be rude to our guest, help her to her room." Klaus smiled before locking eyes with you.
