The hidden truth about the noble deer
"Everybody thinks that you are noble and honorable. You are the mighty deer and I am the sneaky fox - at least that's what they all believe. The question is: Who is really the fox? And who's the deer? Did the noble person ever exist? I know your gloomy secret. I am the only one who knows it and that's why you are going to do exactly what I am asking you for. If not I am going to tell them everything – they will hate you and you will be the lost brother. You will feel the same pain as I did. You will suffer."
Currently planned characters: Elijah, Kol, Elena, Katherine, Klaus, Rebekah (and later even more I guess).
Prolog: Deal
Elijah seemed to be lost in his thoughts while he was staring at the forecourt right in front of their house. Kol had just arrived in his brand new Porsche.
It still felt very strange that Elijah himself, Niklaus and Rebekah weren't living alone here now anymore – Kol also moved in a few weeks ago. Elijah knew that Klaus really appreciated that because most of the time Kol was very similar to Niklaus. They had exactly the same tamper. Rebekah also liked him even though Elijah himself was still her favorite brother. Well, maybe that would change sooner or later – but Elijah really hoped it wouldn't.
"Hey Elijah! What are you up to this evening? Maybe there are some new girls around since I checked last time", Kol told him widely smiling while he stepped into Elijah's room and laid his arm around his shoulders.
"I am not in the mood for going to a club", Elijah told his brother while he was still looking at the car of Kol and sighed. He was buying a lot of very expensive things lately – completely lost in his new addiction to spend as much money as possible in no time.
Furthermore Elijah had stopped counting how often he brought some women home. Mostly Kol didn't even know their names and since the night in which Kol had offered Elijah two compelled women he wasn't interested in that business anymore. Elijah wasn't a man of that kind – and he didn't want to get involved in his brother's businesses.
"Why so boring today, brother? Isn't it a great day? Besides the fact that you have to do everything which I ask you for", his brother replied and grinned at him cheeky while he walked right in front of Elijah.
"Then why are you asking me if I would like to join you if I actually got no other choice than following you?", Elijah said a bit angry now while he placed his hands in his trouser pockets. He really hated the feeling that Kol could do everything with him – and force him to do everything he wanted him to. Elijah hated the fact that he just wasn't able to change something about it.
"Because I like… no… I love it to see you under my control and mercy, brother. As I have been under your mercy and you betrayed me only because you always preferred Niklaus instead of me", Elijah's brother explained him with a sadistic voice and let go of him.
"What are you up to, Kol?", Elijah growled as he finally accepted that he couldn't fight against him – at least not yet.
"You will see, Elijah. Meet me downstairs. Let's have a little snack tonight", Kol said amused and smiled a faked smile due to Elijah's angriness.
Elijah couldn't control himself any longer so he used his vampire-speed and a few seconds later he had gripped Kol at his shirt and was pressing him against the nearest wall. His teeth clenched harshly.
"You will never force me to kill somebody", Elijah pointed out and directly stared into Kol's eyes. The smile of his brother grew even bigger because of his anger.
"Elijah, relax! We will see what I am up to. Besides as you said: You have no other choice. So, if I would decide that you have to kill somebody you will do that. Alright?", Kol answered – still with an amused smile on his lips but he meant what he said.
Elijah didn't say anything but he let go of Kol after several seconds. He wasn't a fool – of course he could see the coldness in Kol's eyes. And of course he knew that he had to go through his wrath. Elijah wasn't sure if he still knew his brother after everything which had happened. He had to admit that he really wished everything was different and Kol wouldn't dare to blackmail him.
The nightclub a few minutes away from Mystic Falls was full of people. Elijah hated the music – actually he didn't like the modern music at all. He still preferred that kind of music which humans listened to a few decades ago.
Kol was in his element. A lot of beautiful women, alcohol and great music – at least in his opinion. Right now he was dancing like a stupid jerk in the middle of the dance floor. Elijah was sitting at the bar and observed every move he did. Sometimes he was sipping at his non-alcoholic beverage.
"Elijah?", a female voice suddenly brought him back to earth. The original turned around only to see that Elena was now sitting next to him. Her smile was beautiful.
"Good evening, Elena", he greeted her politely as always but the vampire knew that Elena was one of the few who was able to look through his façade.
"What are you doing here? I always thought that you hate places like this – as well as the music", Elena asked him and Elijah saw the way she was looking at him. She was worried about him even though she didn't want to show it that obviously.
"You are right I don't really enjoy my time here", he admitted while loosening his dark tie a bit.
Right now he felt more and more uncomfortable. Elijah really liked Elena – she was as pure and innocent as he had been once as human but there was a problem about it. At the very moment Elijah could only think about Tatia while he was looking at her – even though they were of course completely different. That really concerned him but it wasn't Elena's fault – it was Kol's fault. He had brought all those painful memories back to its surface. While the original was thinking about that he became more and more angry again and clenched his fists without noticing that.
"What's wrong, Elijah?"
Elijah could sense her concern for him while she was putting her hands around his hands. He sighed. She was one of the most intelligent women he had ever met in his life. The original wasn't able to hide something from Elena.
"I am okay I just have to play babysitter for my brother Kol tonight and that annoys me", Elijah told her but he wasn't the only one who knew that he was a quiet bad liar. "Please excuse me, Elena. My brother wants something from me", he told her as he noticed that Kol was signalizing him to join him.
The original didn't look at Elena again and he had to confess that he was kind of happy that Kol wanted him to be at his side but at the same time he had a strange feeling about that. Kol was leading two young and attractive women to the entrance as soon as he had noticed that Elijah was following him now…
