why are there so many aemond x reader and harwin x reader fics in the daemon tag :// super annoying especially since daemon isnt even mentioned at all in the fics
Elena stood rooted to the spot, staring at him. She couldn't speak. This wasn't fair, she had no time to prepare for this mentally.
''It's polite to answer someone when they speak to you.'' he restrains a grin seeing how embarrassed she is.
'' I wasn't expecting you here.'' she bites her lip and resists the urge to look away.
''I could say that too, you're supposed to be in Mystic Falls. In the company of the Salvatore brothers if I'm not wrong. '' his lips fix in a straight line.
''Well as you can see I'm here.'' Elena says a bit harsher, annoyed by his words.
''Good'' Elijah says with a satisfied smile. ''I've made reservations for dinner. Will you do me the honour of joining me?'' he leans down so his eyes are level with mine.''
She can't form words. It's clear that she shouldn't accept his offer, he already left her once. But if she listens to her heart she knows she can't resist him.
''Fine.'' Wonderful. Bonnie will kill her. ''But just dinner...right?'' she breathes.
''Of course. Why, is there anything else on your mind?'' he keeps eye contact with an annoyingly hot half smile on his face.
''No, of course not.'' This is so embarrassing. '''Where shall I meet you?'' it is best if she changes the subject.
He takes a card from his inside pocket and holds it out for her. ''Just text me your address, I'm coming for you. Eight o'clock is alright for you?''
''Yeah, sure.'' she replies, really trying to hide how excited she is.
''Perfect. I'll see you later then.'' Elena nods and he starts to back, smoothing down his suit before sliding his hands into his pockets. Their eyes lock for a second. Elijah breaks the eye connection and then turns away.
Elena's palms hit her cheeks as she tries to rub some life back into them. She's so screwed.
--------
Getting into someone's apartment without their knowledge is not the nicest thing to do, Elena knew that. Caroline rarely stays here so Elena just hopes she won't notice the key missing.
Hopping into the huge bed she stares at the ceiling for a while. She has nothing to wear. She had no intention of going on a date with Elijah but here they are. Groaning at the sound of her ringing phone she gets up and gets it from her purse. She rolls her eyes when she sees who's calling her.
''Just wait until I find you, I'll drag you back to Mystic Falls. Why don't you make things easier for both of us and come home?'' Typical Damon.
''My answer is a no. I'm a grown-up woman so don't you dare to tell me what to do.'' Elena tries to stay calm, it would've been better if she didn't pick up the phone.
''You don't act like one right now, I only see a twenty-three-year-old child who's being irresponsible. You have one day if you don't come back by then I'll go get you myself.''
''We'll see.'' she snaps back and hangs up. Elena will never get rid of him.
She quickly sends Elijah her address. Slipping her phone back into her bag she looks at the time, five o'clock. She has three hours to get ready and there's still no dress. Opening the wardrobe she prays that Caroline has something here.
Picking out a short black dress she tries it on and heads toward the mirror to see how it looks on her. It's really simple but it still looks great. She gets her hair done and does a light makeup.
Exactly at eight o'clock a shiny black Bentley parks in front of the building. Gathering all her courage she steps out the door and walks toward Elijah. He, as ever, looks stunning in a black three-piece suit, tie perfectly knotted as always.
''Good evening lovely Elena.'' his eyes are sparkling wildly. He takes her hand and kisses the back of it.
''Elijah.'' she smiles, the way he looks at her gives her butterflies. His lovely lips give an almost undetectable smile.
''After you'' he gestures towards the car and opens the door so she can get in. She can safely say that this is the most comfortable seat in which she has ever sat. He slides into the car and pulls hastily away from the kerb.
''I'm actually surprised you invited me to dinner.'' she says glancing at him for a moment.
''That's the least I can do after everything that happened.'' he answers, his eyes still focused on the road. He doesn't have to say out loud what he meant, they both know it.
''Where exactly are we going?''
''To my apartment. I'd rather have dinner in the comfort of my own home.'' Elijah explains. Fantastic. Being with Elijah in a room is not a good sign. Never was. Elena just hopes that she doesn't end up crying.
They're in the car for ten minutes until he pulls into a car park. He lets himself out of the car and makes his way around to her. Opening the door, he holds his hands out to her.
His eyes never leaving hers she steps out and his hands slide to her waist. There are only a few inches between their faces and Elena can feel her heart rate speeding up.
''Dinner.'' she whispers and looks away breaking the eye contact.
''Right.'' taking a step back, Elijah repositions his hand to get a better grip on her and pulls her towards the stairwell.
He unlocks his black door and opens it. Standing to the side he lets her step over the threshold. Elena slowly makes her way down the hallway until it opens up into a huge marble-infested living room with a few antique paintings on the wall. Everything is just perfect.
''This place is beautiful.''
''I like being here, it's peaceful. Especially without my siblings.'' he closes the door and takes her hand gently pulling her towards the dining room.
''I can imagine.'' she huffs and takes a seat at the huge table.
''Would you like some wine?'' Elijah asks, removing his jacket he puts it over the back of a chair.
''Yes, please. '' she replies, her gaze on the food served on the table. ''Why did you leave New Orleans?'' Elena was curious why did Elijah leave Klaus behind. Elijah's first priority was always searching for Klaus's redemption.
''It was for the better. He has Hope now, and I thought it would be the best to get away from there for a while.'' he hands her a glass of wine and takes the chair at the other end.
Elena knows there's more to it but decides to stay silent.
''I'm more interested about you though. If my memory serves me right you finally managed to choose between the Salvatore's.'' his voice held a hint of sarcasm and Elena exhales a wary breath. Squirming in her chair she tries not to say something she'll regret later.
''Stop.'' she whispers. ''What exactly did you expect from me? You went away without a single word in the first place not me so stop being a jealous asshole.'' her eyes are filled with irritation. He has no right to judge her after everything that happened.
''Language.'' he tells her sternly before he continues. '' If I hadn't left you probably wouldn't be a human right now or worse you'd be dead.'' Elijah explains as he swirls his wine still perfectly calm.
''How noble of you.'' she huffs and takes a sip of her wine. '' And what about me, my feelings? These are just poor excuses for why you left and we both know that. You have no right to judge my actions, if I'm with one of the Salvatore's that's my business and if I want to fuck one of the Salvatore's that's also my business.'' she spits, feeling her blood heat with rage she makes her way towards the door. This was a bad idea, coming here was a bad idea and Bonnie was right again.
Before Elena could react Elijah stood before her. Stupid vampire speed. He's so close to her that's it's impossible not to look into his eyes. They don't say anything for a few seconds before his lips cover her in a long passionate kiss. She accepts it without hesitation as he pushes her against the wall, his hands all over her. A small moan escapes her mouth while she's clasping his shoulders. Pushing his groin into her tummy, his hardness throbs against her and it makes both of them groan from pleasure.
Elijah pushes himself away and he strides away. ''Shit. I shouldn't have brought you here.
''You're right.'' she mumbles trying to hold herself steady. ''I should go.'' she gathers her bag and heads to the door, not looking back
Obviously, she doesn't know her. They've never met before, Elena only knew that she was the reason that twelve hybrids were killed. Hayley raises an eyebrow at her still waiting for an answer. Elena takes a deep breath before answering. ''Get your shit together Elena.'' she thought.
''Firstly, hello to you as well. Secondly, I'm here for Elijah.'' she tried to sound as confident as possible.
''Oh really? You're here for Elijah?'' sensing a bit of sarcasm in her voice Elena tries not to roll her eyes at her.
''I don't think that I owe you an explanation. Just answer my question and we're done with each other.'' It's getting harder to not snap at the wolf girl.
Hayley just gives her an annoyed look before answering ''Elijah doesn't live here anymore. He's not in New Orleans, that's all I know.'' she shrugs her shoulder.
''Shit.'' Elena mutters to herself. ''Thanks, I guess.'' giving her a tight smile she turns around and walks back to her car. '
'He's not himself.'' Hayley adds before closing the door.
Elena doesn't have the chance to ask what she means by that. She has an idea but there's no way Elijah would do that.
Sitting in the car she needs time to reconsider her plans. She drove eight hours for nothing. If she decides to go after him, God knows when she will return to Mystic Falls and the Salvatore brothers won't stop searching for her until they find her. Jeremy.
Quickly getting the phone out of her purse she dials his number.
''Elena?'' he picks up with a hint of concern in his voice.
''Jeremy? Is everything alright?''
''Not really.'' Jeremy mumbles. ''Your boyfriends are going crazy. Bonnie is here as well, she put a spell on the house so they can't get in.'' he explains.
''Look just keep taking your vervain. I need you to be really careful, it looks like I won't be back anytime soon.'' Elena tells him as she's driving to the airport.
''What do mean you won't be back anytime soon? Elena, what's going on?'' she hears the panic in his voice and the guilt overwhelms her.
''All I can say to you is that I have to find someone. I'm safe...I promise. But I need to do this Jer.'' she doesn't want to involve him in her problems, she just hopes that he'll understand.
''Fine.'' he says after a pause. ''But call me, okay?''
''I will.'' she says gently. ''Can you give the phone to Bonnie, please?''
Elena winces in shame when she hears Bonnie's voice. ''Elena I swear to God-'' Bonnie screams into the phone, trying to remind her that she crossed a line now.
''Bonnie. I know. I'm the most stupid person in the world right now, but you need to hear me out, okay?'' Bonnie is the only wich she can trust right now. If she does this little favor for her then she can easily find Elijah.
''Alright, I'm listening.'' Bonnie sighs.
''I need you to do a locator spell.'' Elena explains. ''It's Elijah.'' she mumbles, too scared about her best friend's reaction.
''Are you kidding me? We talked about this, you said you were over him, what changed?'' If Bonnie could kill her over the phone she would be dead.
''I'm done with him, okay?'' she pauses. ''I mean kind of...doesn't matter. Just do the spell.'' Elena tells her as she pulls over and gets out of the car.
''Yeah, sure… and with what you smartass?''
''Maybe, you can find a shirt of his under my bed. I don't know why it's in my bedroom.'' She shrugs her shoulders, acting like she has no clue how did it get there.
''It just appeared out of nowhere, right?'' Yeah, why not?
''Magic.'' Elena replies with a huge grin on her face. She was grateful that Bonnie didn't judge her for her actions. She got enough of it from the others.
''Magic my ass.'' Bonnie reacts by laughing out loud. ''I'll send you the location, and don't worry I'll handle the Salvatore brothers.'' she tells her now in a serious tone.
''You're the best. I'll call you and keep an eye on Jeremy, please.''
''Don't worry, I will. Stay safe.’’
''I'll try.'' she hangs up. Feeling like someone is watching her she looks around. Her heart starts to beat faster and she quickly gets into the car. Looking at her phone she sees that Bonnie sent her Elijah's location.
New York.
That's going to be a long ride. Perfectly ideal to think about what the hell is she going to say to Elijah when she sees him. There's no way she could do it without a few drinks, sober Elena would be too awkward. She can't just go up to him and say ''Hey 'Lijah, it's good to see ya alive, 'cause I had a dream about you dying a few days before. Crazy right? By the way, is it normal that I just wanna jump on you and tear off your clothes even though I haven't seen you for ages?''
Yeah, sober Elena would definitely say that, drunk Elena would just probably jump on him without a single word.
She had to stay in a hotel for a few hours or else she would have looked like a zombie. But now that she's in New York she quickly forgets how uncomfortable the ride was.
But in this huge city how can she find Elijah?
Walking in New York's streets is really a dream come true. She stops when she notices the New York Public Library. ''Fuck Elijah.'' she murmurs as she walks towards the building unable to take her eyes off it.
''So this is what Heaven looks like.'' Elena thinks to herself when she enters. Getting Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë she searches for a perfect place where she can immerse herself in her book. Glancing at her phone for a second she doesn't see the person who stands in front of her, before she can react she bumps into the stranger.
''Nice choice lovely Elena.'' That voice. In his impeccable suit. Lord have mercy on me.
Elena's eyes snap open. She's covered in a cold sweat, shaking. Another dream. But this time it had a horrible ending. Jumping out of the bed she quickly runs to the mirror. Eyes fixed on her chest, she sighs in relief when she sees there's no blood.
Ever since he left Mystic Falls, Elena's world completely turned upside down. At first, she only had dreams about him, but after a while, she experienced sudden mood swings and if it's not enough injuries appeared on her body out of nowhere which disappeared in seconds.
Running back to her closet she takes out a rucksack, she'll need some clothes. She doesn't plan on being away for a long time but she needs to know that he's fine and maybe she can find out what's going on with her.
It's still dark outside when she heads out of the house trying to be as quiet as possible. Jeremy will understand. It's better this way, if she tells Jeremy about her plan Damon and Stefan would harass him until he spits out the truths. She can't let that happen. When she comes back she can explain herself. Now the only person she can trust is herself.
It's getting harder to keep her eyes on the road as she's driving toward her destination. Elena hopes that she will find him there. Maybe they can figure out the rest together.
Getting her phone from her bag she sees 2 calls and one message from Jeremy.
J: Where are you?
E: I'll call you later. Don't say anything to Damon or Stefan, be safe.
It looks like Stefan and Damon still have no idea that she left, which means she has more time. Elena's heart skips a beat when she sees the board which says: New Orleans.
It's time. Within a few minutes, they will meet again. She was both excited and terrified, it was hard to admit to herself that she missed him. Painfully.
She stops the car when she notices the Rousseau's. Maybe someone can help her to find the Mikaelsons. Entering she sees a blonde woman at the counter talking and smiling with the guests. Taking a deep breath she decides to give it a go. Taking a seat she looks around and realizes that the bar is full of vampires. Yeah… probably not the wisest choice considering the fact that she is probably the only human here.
''Hey. Can I get you something?'' asks the blonde girl.
''Hi, yeah something strong, please. I'll probably need it.'' the last few words were more to herself than the bartender girl.
''You're new? I haven't seen you here before.'' the girl pours some tequila for her and gives a small smile as she looks at her.
''Yep, but I don't plan to stay long. I'm Elena.'' she holds out her hand and returns the smile.
''Camille. A pleasure to meet you.'' and she shakes her hand. ''So what brings you here?''
''I need to find someone. As far as I know, he's here in New Orleans.'' Elena explains before she takes a shot. The alcohol burns her throat but right now she doesn't mind.
''I see.'' Camille nods. ''One of the Mikaelsons?'' she asks. How in the hell did she know? Elena thinks to herself.
''How did u know it?''
''Just lucky I guess.'' Camille shrugs her shoulder. ''You seem nice so I help you. Go to this address'' she whispers and gives her a piece of paper. ''If someone asks...it's not from me. Don't wanna get in trouble.'' they both turn their heads when they hear two drunk men's argument getting out of control. ''Well, it looks like I have to go. Good luck!'' she winks at her and walks away.
''Thanks.'' Yeah...Elena will probably need that.
Standing in front of the Mikaelson mansion Elena's courage is gone. It takes her a few minutes to pull herself together. Knocking on the door Elena feels like she's going to faint.
A few months ago she thought that the Mikaelsons are gone from her life for good. Maybe not.
It shocks her to see the person who answers the door. That bitch…
I still cannot get over this! I’m a huge RPDR fan and Ongina is one of my faves and when she chose Henry as her celeb crush for this song I was over the moon 🤭 such a mood.
