AN: Another new Elija/Elena story that was inspired by The Originals season 4 premiere and most of The Vampire Diaries series finale!
I have no idea what to call this story but here's chapter one!
Chapter 1:
"It's a beautiful day outside. Streets are packed with tourists, they're drinking beers, they're chasing beads, headed out on the vampire walking tour of New Orleans. They think it's a myth: just part of our city's charm. Well, we know better. Just like we know that there's a storm coming. This week marks five years since the fall of the Mikaelson's. Five years of peace and we paid a high price for that peace. We witches, we earned that peace. We snatched back our freedom, we severed our link with our ancestors. To take back our city, we back Marcel Gerard. Now since then, we fought hard to build this community and in the next week, as we celebrate our independence, that community will be challenged." Vincent took a breath and smiled. "This week marks five years since the fall of the Mikaelson's. We've managed to keep our monsters buried and now we've got to make sure that they stay buried."
The group he was preaching to were cheering for him happily…well, there was one person there who wasn't cheering.
The young woman had her long dark brown hair pulled into a French braid and her eyes were a warm chocolate brown color that were doe shaped. As she stood up as he was preening under the cheers, she walked out of the church because she was close to ripping out his heart.
Stepping outside into the humid air of New Orleans, she began walking towards her car when someone grabbed her wrist. Turning, she saw a vampire that annoyed her-Josh.
"Let go of me before I break your neck." She threatened so that only he could hear.
"Why'd you leave? He was getting to the good part." He asked before she smiled and snapped his neck. Flicking some hair from her face, the young woman left him outside of the church and got into her car before she left.
"They're family Mary. Hope's a Mikaelson as is Verity and Vienna." Hayley told Mary. "I made a promise."
"A promise to who? Elijah?" The old woman asked, emphasizing Elijah's name in distaste.
"To Hope, Elena, Verity and Vienna. I made the promise to them." Hayley told her, not rising to the bait. Before she did have a crush on Elijah but she loved Jackson and Klaus more than ever.
Elena was like the sister she never had and the first vampire she ever sired. From the moment that Mary and Elena met, Mary at first disliked Elena for having two girls without their father in their life until Elena told her that their father left them unknowingly-he had left her without a clue that she would end up pregnant with twin girls.
Elena also told her that their father-Elijah-never knew that she had fallen for him because when he went to New Orleans, he had told her that he wasn't coming back to Mystic Falls.
Mary ended up growing closer to the young vampire and had helped her with anything that she needed help with.
Once another car pulled up, Mary and Hayley looked to see Elena coming out and looking frustrated.
"Josh wanted me to finish hearing what that idiot Vincent was saying." Elena said in an angry dulcet tone. "I broke his neck and left him at the steps."
"Won't they come after you?" Hayley asked. Elena shook her head.
"Considering that three vampires are going to appear at certain key points where Vincent and his witches will be…as well as the only person I know who has the cure running through his veins." Elena grinned wickedly. "I all but made sure that if the witches and vampires and Marcel come after me. They'll have to get through Damon-or as I call him-the immortal cure. One bite from any of them and they have the cure in their system…they'll be dead by sundown."
"Devious." Hayley said with a whistle. "Mind helping Mary watching the girls?"
"Take her with you." Mary told them. "I can watch the three. Just make sure that you end up running when you smell trouble. They." She hit the truck, "have a lot of life. You two need to live for those three girls."
"Everything that we do is for them." Hayley told her as Elena went over to Verity and Vienna, kissing them on their heads and making sure that they'll be good for Mary as well as do what she says.
"Okay mommy." Vienna said while Verity nodded with a smile.
As Freya woke up, she hugged Hayley and asked, "you got all the ingredients?"
"I did." Hayley said. "I had help from a friend who you'll meet soon." Freya looked curiously at her but didn't mention it only for a heart to be thrown into the room. Hayley eyed the young woman who entered, wearing a mini skirt matched with a tank top that clung to her skin.
"He was hitting on me with bad material." The woman said. "Now I need to change out of this though I look hot for being a mom."
"You're a mother and you dress like that?" The werewolf sneered before the woman flashed over to her and had her hand at her heart.
"I dress like this because not only do I look hot but I have been playing distraction for Hayley." The vampire sneered at her. "Be thankful that you are still needed otherwise I'd rip that heart out of your chest."
"Girls, play nice." Hayley chided playfully to them. Elena nodded and disappeared to the truck to change out of her current outfit.
"She is?" Freya asked as she went to gather all the ingredients and made a pentagram on the ground in salt.
"Elena Gilbert-or as she's been calling herself, Elena Marshall. She and I are as close as sisters and we're the same age." Hayley answered. "She was-or is-currently with Elijah. I don't know their status."
"Would she know?" Freya asked as she placed candles at certain points.
"Ask her yourself." Hayley said before she heard the sound of someone-or some people-coming to find them. "Elena? Murder and mayhem time!" She called and Elena came back in a pair of form fitting black pants, black suede ankle boots and a black short sleeve shirt with the Mikaelson crest on the back with the number 12 on it. Hanging from her hips were two swords.
"Play time." She said as she disappeared.
Elijah could smell her scent-as delectable as it was-he knew where she would be and once he found her, slicing up and stabbing some male vampires who were ogling her…anger and rage towards those little boys swelled up in him like a storm. Grabbing them, he ripped their hearts out and stood in front of his Elena when he noticed that her face had vamped out.
"How?" He asked her and she smiled sadly.
"A year after you were in that chamber I was in a car crash and left for dead. Hayley found…she found me. She changed me." She said but she was opting something out of the story.
"Who else was in the car?" He asked her, a hand about to go over her throat. "Tell me."
She looked at Hayley who nodded and had the others go away.
"Our daughters-Verity Elia and Vienna Freya. They were in the car with me." She whispered. "They're with Hope and Mary."
His response to that was to let her go and stare at her in surprise.
"Our daughters? Our…our daughters?" She laughed and nodded.
"Here's a picture of them." She said as she pulled out her iPhone and showed him pictures of his girls who had his eyes but he could tell that Verity may have his personality. "They're seven years old and have been told stories about you. They've been wanting to meet you."
"So we have three nieces?" Kol asked as he began pacing around Hayley. "Hope, Verity and Vienna? I got that right?"
Hayley nodded.
"All three are seven and are definitely strong willed." Hayley said as she smiled at them.
The screams that woke Mary came from Hope's room where she, Verity and Vienna were. She ran into the room, turning on the light and seeing all three girls huddled up together.
"Girls, what's wrong?" Mary asked them, fearful.
"We had the same bad dream." Verity murmured and Mary's heart broke as she saw how sad they looked. "I want mommy."
Mary went over to them and managed to wrap her arms around the three.
"Hush babies. You all spoke to your mothers, they're going to come back." She cooed to them.
She didn't look at the pictures that the girls have been drawing, otherwise she would have been slightly worried.
