Elizabeth, in the past five years, had learnt a few tricks on sneaking out of her house to meet up with Kol Mikaelson, her best friend and, as it was bound to happen, caring boyfriend too. It had to be a hidden relationship, though, for his parents could never know she still remained so close to him.
A couple of months ago, his mother, Esther, decided to forbid their friendship. According to the brown haired boy, she said it was way too dangerous to be close to such a wicked family as the Hales; he could get hurt and the great matriarch could not bear losing another child. Although Henrik's death was not your fault, it was horrible to be accused like that.
Taking a deep breath, Mary Elizabeth decided to shake those thoughts out of her head. They brought up a dark side of her: it got her wishing to make the blonde woman pay for all of that; through torture or maybe even put an end to her life. Again, this was the vicious wolf speaking; craving revenge. Urgh.
"Kol?" Lizzie queried, in a whisper. "Are you in here?"
The moon enlightened her steps towards the couple's hiding place. It was a wooden house, built at the forest's entrance, far enough to no one ever surprise them there. It allowed a type of freedom they could not have amongst the others.
Realising not a single soul was there, she decided to curl up in bed and wait awhile. It was weird, though, for Kol was usually the first one to arrive. His ability to mingle with night was impressive, almost as if he was meant to live in it.
"Babe?" A raspy voice cut the silence, alongside the usual scary creak sound that comes from opening an old door. "I know you're already here, since I'm running late."
Elizabeth smiled and kept quiet, only hearing the footsteps getting closer to the room. She quickly propped herself up and went to stand towards the room's entrance, where she was going to give her boyfriend a payback for all the times he pulled awful pranks on her.
The thumping noise was dangerously near, that was probably why the short girl jittered in anticipation. Adrenaline rushing through her veins and an uncontrollable need for movement. Of course all this excitement was not just about the game, Lizzie was happy to be by her lover's side again. It felt really good to be around someone who was not scared or despised her. Actually, no one truly mattered, for as long as Kol remained with her.
"Lizzie?" He had a serious tone. "Where are you, love?"
In one push, he opened the door and Hale jumped to his lap, catching the surprise within his eyes, coming out with a shy groan. Task accomplished, she thought, giggling. The boy grasped firmly the back of her thighs, leading her to bed, whilst holding a proud smirk on his pink lips. She sighed, linking her arms around his neck, slowly sliding the tip of her nails on Kol's broad muscle back, hoping to leave a mark behind.
"Teaser!" He exclaimed, before carefully placing onto the silk sheets. "What am I going to do with you?"
"You're going to spoil me." Lizzie bragged, chuckling. "Like you always do."
Kol had to purse his lips containing a loud laugh, because she was one hundred percent right. He loved to make her wishes come true. To see her beautiful traits beaming with happiness. If people came to this life having a one true purpose, that was his: make that girl happy, no matter what.
"I would offer a penny for your thoughts, if I had one."
"I'm thinking about us." He replied, stroking her cheek. "Don't you think it's time for us to go?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about the promise I made you years ago." Liz furrowed her brows and looked at him, confused. "That when we were old enough, we would ditch this place for good."
"Yes!" The girl replied, glancing at him with curiosity. The dimples soon appearing on her cheeks. "I thought you had forgotten it."
"Never. I want to free us from our family's grip and finally live our lives as we should."
Elizabeth sat upright on the bed and her gaze locked on the man lying lazily by her side, resting fully dressed. He was so sweet. Always so protective and perhaps the only one who still managed to make her broke down in laughter. She had seen so much pain, so much hurt; it was getting harder and harder to get through each day. Luckily she had him. And her lovely mum who would do just about anything for her.
"I love you." The long haired girl mumbled. "I love you so damn much."
"So do I, sweetheart." Sitting up as well, he caressed her cheek, tracing her jawline and eventually pulling her into a very deep and passionate kiss. Their tongues mixed up together, fighting for dominance. It was so hot.
She sunk her nails into the soft fabric of his shirt as he gripped her waist, stopping the kiss to catch a breath. In the meantime, Mikaelson swiftly swivelled her and started to undo the knots on her corset. Lizzie felt her core drip, which drove the girl to clamp her bottom lip between the teeth to avoid an unwanted noisy moan. Once it was all over, he helped her to stand and smoothly took off the dress she was wearing, leaving his girlfriend totally naked. A view he would never stop appreciating.
"Oh, shit, Kol." Elizabeth muttered when the brown haired man started to provoke her by circling the bundle of nerves in between her legs. "Can't you just fuck me, already?"
"Such a dirty mouth." He taunted, increasing the friction. "Not suitable for beautiful lady like yourself."
"Fuck, fuck, fuck." The girl cursed, pushing her hips forward to meet up with his well trained fingers. "You're so good at this..."
"Do you like it when I do this, babe?" Kol shoved his middle finger inside her wet entrance and then took it out to lick it, savouring it. "God, you're delicious."
"Please..." It was barely a whisper. "Don't do this to me."
"What am I doing, exactly, love?"
"Fucking teasing me." Lizzie grunted, frustrated, guiding her hands to her throbbing core, wanting to ease the warmth. "Fuck me. Right now."
"How could a say no to such a warm request?" He joked, winking at her in a sass gesture. "Bend over for me, would you, darling?"
Mary Elizabeth nodded, quivering to those words and quickly assuming the asked position. The minute she was ready, he plucked her hips to grind against his; it was so deliciously rough she conceived the idea of cumming to that alone. However, those particular movements only lasted so far, because he needed her just as much as she needed him.
"So wet..."
"Oh, damn you, Kol." She swore, between girlish moans. "Could quit playing and do it already?"
"Oh, Lizzie." He breathed on her neck, his length ridiculously close to her entrance. "You're spoiling the fun."
"Am I?"
The tall boy chuckled and, without further warning, he pushed himself inside her with one sharp thrust. Finally, she thought, a satisfied smile lying in her lips. He did not move, though. Stayed quietly, feeling her walls vibrate around him. So fucking good!
Poor Liz even tried to create friction, but Kol's large hands grasped her waist tightly, unabling her to move as she pleased. He was overjoyed to be in control, to set the pace.
"Call out for me, honey." Leisurely, the movements began. "Come on. Tease me!"
"K-Kol." She stuttered, lost. "You're so good to me, babe."
Her cries, his grunts, the sound of their skin clapping, it was all mixed up, creating a steamy environment. And they were taken by it; Kol fastened his pace, while Elizabeth started to clench, denoting she was close to her release. It was all so intoxicating.
"Fuck, I'm close." The man announced, increasing the intimacy touch. "But I want to see you come undone first."
"I-I won't- Ah! Shit, shit, shit, shit!" She yelled, digging her nails into the sheets, screwing her eyes shut and feeling the pleasure wave run across her form.
Kol became sloppier, meaning he was getting there too. Liz thought she should remind him to pull out, but he was aware of that. It would not be necessary... Good God! Slight vibrations brought her up to the reality, as her boyfriend spilled himself inside of her centre.
For a moment, she did not perceive what had happened. Too overwhelmed with pleasure to think about anything. However, once he fell limp by her side, she knew how badly they had screwed up this time.
"Kol."
"Yes, love." He sounded relaxed, not even aware of your concerns.
"You came inside me." Hale shrieked in a high pitched voice. "Oh my God. What are we going to do?"
"Huh?"
"Don't you understand? You came inside me. This means there's a chance I might get..."
"Oh fuck. Don't say it." His eyes were wide and dark. "Don't."
"Pregnant."
Oh, damn it.
Elizabeth was alone in the woods, staring at a beautiful river; its water flowing smoothly, carrying away all of her worries. Well, perhaps for a minute or two. She went there to do some thinking, but she did not wish to think about it any more. If it was her fate, so bring it on.
"What are you doing here all by yourself, miss Hale?" A masculine voice quizzed, coming from the tall trees behind her.
"I am trying to avoid Kol." Liz replied pursed her lips, recognising him as Niklaus, one of Kol's siblings. "He has been incredibly clingy these past few days."
It was not a lie.
Kol Mikaelson, ever since the pregnancy possibility hovered above their heads, became her personal stalker. Wherever she went, he would tag along, pledging she needed protection. He even forgot about his mother and her prohibition; which turned out to be really annoying.
"I thought you were not speaking to each other." He sat by her side, throwing a rock into watercourse. "I guess it was another lie."
"Damn right it was." Hale chuckled, ironic. "We just had be together, you know?"
Being mad at him was not fair and she knew it, but Mary Elizabeth could not help it. All of her plans, her life! All of it was hanging on a balance because they had to be together; because she did not push herself to speak in time; because he was careless... Fuck!
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Definitely no." She scoffed, feeling the tears built up on your eyes. "Can I trust you with a secret?"
"Why not?"
Lizzie had known Niklaus for quite some time and she even built up a nice friendship with him. Sure it was not the secret confident type; however, despite that, she sensed he was trustworthy. Also, what harm could it make?
"Don't freak out, please." She warned. "It's kind of serious."
"Tell me."
"OK, here it goes: I might be pregnant."
"I beg your pardon?" His thick British accent made it almost funny to hear. "You might?"
"Me and Kol... We sort of did it a couple nights earlier. And he-he came inside."
"God, you're stupid." He mumbled, shaking his head. "How could you do this? My father is going to freak out!"
"Don't you think mine is going to do just the same?"
Klaus' blue eyed gaze captured hers, holding it for a couple of seconds. He shook his head once more, not capable to believe his own ears. Kol was so reckless!
As he gaped his mouth to start a rather long speech, he stopped upon hearing a creaking noise. She did too, so they got alarmed and briskly stood on their feet. No one was supposed to find this place, unless... Unless it had tracked them down.
"Can you hear that?" She firmly grasped his arm, tilting her head to catch a better sound. "We are not alone."
"Mikael." The blond murmured. "We need to get out of here."
"How did he find us?"
"I can't explain. Not now.*
Mary Elizabeth was picked up and abruptly thrown on one of his shoulders. She would have complained, if she was not mesmerised by the little strength he had to use to lift her up. Plus, Klaus seemed to be slightly faster than a werewolf, which was a really high comparative, for it was known how quickly they could move.
A short while later, he stopped, warily putting her back on the ground and checking the perimeter.
"Spill the beans." Mary Elizabeth demanded, following him. "Please?"
"Fine.* Klaus rolled his eyes and rubbed some sort of flower against her cheeks, possibly to cover the smell. "My mother was crushed when Henrik died, you know. So, as a remedy to her pain, she decided to 'upgrade' us. Me, my siblings, my father."
"Then what?"
"She made us immortals."
"W-What?" This time her eyes were wide, infused with fear. Her father used to tell her stories about immortals and they were not pretty. She gasped and bit her lip, nervously. "Why is your father chasing us?"
"It came with a price. We can't walk in the daylight without these lapis-lazuli rocks. Additionally, wood and vervain sting like a bitch." Her hands became unsteady, trembling. "The worst is that we have to kill in order to survive. Feast on blood. And that's what I did."
"You killed an innocent?"
"That butcher was no innocent, but I did kill him. And that triggered my gene."
"You're a werewolf?"
"And a vampire." Lizzie's hand covered her mouth, shocked. "However, they don't want me to be this powerful. They want to rip it out of me with a spell. That's why we're running."
"Sad story, boy." Mikael stated, caging both kids in the clearing. "Still, that's not enough to release you from your fate. Matter fact, the only thing you accomplished was to sentence this little thing to a certain death."
"Yeah." The girl manage to retort, fighting the bubbling will to punch him right in the nose. "Let's see about that death stuff you mentioned, papa."
-
A sort of long conflict developed, wrapping them into heated fight. Klaus and Elizabeth gave their best to put him down; sadly, not a single one of their attempts worked. Mikael was older, he had skills both of them never heard of, which provided him a huge advantage. Actually, if the man truly desired it, he could have smashed them effortlessly.
Slowly regaining her senses, she felt a horrible pain took over her. Something like a thousand knives stabbing her repeatedly; eating her soul away. Liz wanted to yell, cry for help. No one should be exposed to this.
Flickering her eyes open, the honey brown eyed woman examined her surroundings. It was another clearing, this one more wide and filled with a bunch of witch stuff. Yet, after a quick look, she found the Mikaelson couple. Esther held a thick book close to her chest, whilst Mikael seemed to babble about something. He was obviously furious.
Forcing herself to shove the pain inside, Elizabeth focused on them, trying to hear the distant noises.
"Are you sure this is going to work?"
"Of course." Esther responded, nodding. "I'll wipe out every filthy wolf gene from Niklaus. It won't stop him from being evil, but at least he'll be less dangerous. As for Elizabeth, she will remain in a dormant state. A profound slumber. We get rid of her body and tell Kol she's gone. After that, no one will threaten the foundations of our family again."
"Very well, then." He patted her back. "Have you got everything you needed?"
"Yes." She grinned. " matter of time, now."
Hale gasped and began to search for Klaus, founding him tied up next to her. That was why her arms hurt so much, she was suspended by a tight rope on her wrists. Mary Elizabeth tried to free herself from it, wiggling as hard she could, but it proved to be useless. Her feet were loose, though, so she used them to kick the Original's thigh.
"Wake up! Come on!"
Her attempts to awake him was draining the little strength she had left. However, defeat was never in her bones; Lizzie insisted to keep going, focusing on the outside and locking her soreness inside. Learning to do that was one of the very few lessons her father had taught her.
'The only way out of pain is through it. Embrace it. But don't let it ruin you.'
"Klaus. Quit being a sleepy baby." Her hair was breezing with spinning wind. "Klaus!"
"What?" It was nearly a scream. The girl hit his leg one more time. "Outch."
"Be quiet." Liz requested, shooting him a dominating gaze. "Listen to me. Your mum, she is going to succeed. There's no way to stop the spell now.
"Elizabeth...*
"Shut up and listen!" A snarl rumbled on her chest, threatening him. Luckily for them, Esther was not near, this way the witch was not able to hear it. "I think she's going to link us."
"What do you mean?"
"For as long as your wolf side is dormant, I'll be asleep."
"Shit. Kol is going to freak out."
"Please, pay attention! I want you to hide my body. Put it somewhere safe and never mention I survived this night to anyone."
Tears were streaming down hers and Klaus' faces, both scared of what was coming next. A broken howl made them flinch; It seemed like the whole nature was conspiring against them. Then they saw it: the wicked couple approaching, Finn coming right behind. Even now, at the brink of her disappearance, she could not hate more to be around him. It was the only Mikaelson brother she disliked.
"OK, we don't have much time. Promise me you'll do it, Nik." Hale pleaded, heading back to what was happening on her surroundings "Please!"
"Fine, Lizzie. I'll do it." His chin was quivering. "I'll get us out from this curse."
Thank you, Nik."
Elizabeth wished she could squeeze his hand; it was impossible, though, for they were both pretty caged in those fucking ropes. She exhaled, giving up and staring cautiously as Esther lit up a fire circle right underneath the bright full moon. The spell was about to begin.
"Are you ready to do this?"
"Not in a million years." Both giggled one last time at their hideous future. "Be strong, alright? Protect your family and do right by them."
"Sounds a pretty cheesy thing for you to say."
"Just do as told Niklaus. Especial care with that airhead I call boyfriend."
Finn motioned towards them, two flasks on his hands. Getting nigh enough, he definitely was not gentle when he forced the blood down her throat. Mary Elizabeth coughed, having trouble swallowing it. Completely disgusting.
A short while after, she began to feel dizzy. Darkness hitting her like waves; big ones. Engulfing her as high tide would do. She understood all at once that there was no point on fighting any more. Finally, the girl admitted defeat.
It was time to rest.
"It's done."
