Chapter 1
The four originals walk into the compound.
It was mad, the music was booming and there were gyrating bodies everywhere.
"How the bloody hell do we find the mutt in this?" asks Kol.
"He shouldn't be that hard to locate" says Elijah looking around.
"Found him, oh and look at that he has a friend" snorts Klaus.
They see him dancing with a brunette girl in his arms, though dancing was a bit of a stretch it looked like something that shouldn't be done in public.
Klaus strolls through with his siblings and as Marcel spots them he stops suddenly his eyes going wide.
"Music off now" he yells.
The brunette stills in his arms her back still to them.
"Everyone but the day walkers out" yells Marcel.
Most of the vampires disappear but the few that stay move into a protective formation around Marcel and the brunette.
Elijah studies her and suddenly realises why she looked so familiar, he'd recognise her anywhere, he'd been enamoured by her looks three times over his lifetime.
"Do you want to go?" asks Marcel looking at her.
"No I'm staying" she replies.
She turns and Elijah's suspicions are confirmed.
The rest of siblings stop.
"Elena" greets Elijah as he gets a good look at her, it wasn't Katerina he was certain.
"Elijah" she replies.
"Well hello love, didn't expect to find you here, especially with my protégé" says Klaus.
Marcel's arm was wrapped protectively around Elena.
"Tell me do you seek out my former lovers or something Elena?" asks Rebekah snidely.
"No I don't, because I usually don't know they're your former lovers from what I hear you've had so many" retorts Elena.
Kol laughs "I remember why I like you Elena" he snorts.
"So what brings you to the quarter?" asks Marcel.
"We wanted to see what became of the town, and apparently a witch has a beef with me" replies Klaus.
"Well you are family so by all means" says Marcel.
"Perhaps we can talk elsewhere, without the audience, we don't mean you or the lovely Elena any harm" says Elijah trying to ignore the swirling of jealousy in his gut at the way Marcel was holding Elena against him.
"Alright" nods Marcel as he takes Elena's hand and they lead them into the library.
Marcel sits down in the armchair and Elena sits on the arm of it her arm wrapped around his shoulders.
"We haven't heard anything from the witches, they've done no magic, so surely as powerless witches they're no match for the big bad hybrid and his siblings" says Elena.
Klaus looks at her, she'd changed, some of her shine was gone, she'd hardened become more practical, and he couldn't tell if that was a jab or not.
"She's right Klaus, nothing has happened that could be a threat to you, we'll look into it and you're welcome to stay awhile if your willing to not feed on the locals, and you leave my vampires alone" says Marcel.
"Its part of the deal we have with the humans, we keep our fangs out of the locals, the tourists are fair game, as long as not to many go missing" explains Elena.
Elijah can see the practical side of it.
"We will agree to your rules" nods Elijah.
"Thank you, we'll dig into the witches and see if we can't find anything out, if that's all?" asks Marcel.
"For now" nods Klaus standing up.
Marcel and Elena do as well as the others.
"We'll be staying at the plantation house until further notice, perhaps we can catch up" says Klaus.
"Of course, Elena is more than capable of running the city in my absence" he smiles kissing her neck.
"I had a good teacher" she replies nudging him.
Rebekah made a gagging noise before walking past, the others leave as well.
Elena and Marcel brief the day walkers before heading up to their room together.
They walk out onto the balcony.
"This could be a problem" sighs Elena.
"I know, Klaus never liked knowing he's been bested" agrees Marcel standing next to her.
"What could they want no doubt something nefarious if Klaus is involved" says Elena leaning on Marcel's shoulder as he wraps an arm around her.
"Then we fight" replies Marcel.
"Marcel I've been up against Klaus, it never ends well, not even desiccating him kept the bastard down for long, we would lose, he isn't worth it if he means us no harm" pleads Elena.
"And if he does mean us harm?" asks Marcel.
"We protect our home, our family, our friends and each other, I won't let Klaus take anything else from me, not you, and not this city" she says cupping his face in her hands.
"I love you, and Rebekah being back doesn't change that I promise" he says.
"I know and I love you too, now can we forget about Klaus and Rebekah and the problems, we were on our way to an enjoyable night before they interrupted us" purrs Elena.
Marcel smiles and presses her against the wall his lips smashing against hers as his hands tangle in her hair.
Hers wrap around his shoulders as he moves down to her neck.
He picks her up her legs wrapping around his waist as they flash inside, the door closing behind them.
Elijah stood on the roof over the street in shadow watching the two of them, and the jealousy within him spiked.
"Peeping is rude you know brother" smirks Kol as he walks over.
"I am not in the mood for your teasing brother" says Elijah.
"No I imagine not after watching the mutt with Elena like that" agrees Kol.
"Leave" growls Elijah.
"No, you know you won't get the girl if you don't fight for her Elijah" says Kol.
"She is with Marcel, I will not take what happiness she has found" replies Elijah.
"Always so noble Elijah, the mutt has made himself a king in our absence, and he's taken a queen, come Elijah it would not be the first time you have taken a queen from a king, Niklaus doesn't want her in a romantic sense, and while I do see the allure I have no real interest, I highly doubt your feelings are one sided, you are a 1000 year old original Elijah, Marcellus is a 300 years old bastard who pretends to be a king, there is no competition, you've charmed the previous two, why not charm the third" suggests Kol.
"She is not a prize to be traded or taken or won" snaps Elijah.
"No but you want her, a man who doesn't fight for what he wants, deserves what he gets Elijah" says Kol before walking away.
Elijah stands there looking at the balcony and ignoring the sounds he could hear from within the room, he wanted her, he always had, he had simply been to stupid to fight for her, and now she had found love in another, but Kol was right, he had not fought for what he wanted in a long time, and he wanted Elena Gilbert, to show her what 1000 years truly meant, and how a true queen should be treated, yes perhaps this time he would fight for what he wanted.
With that resolution he heads back to the plantation house to try and think of how to win Elena's hand.
