Chapter 2: Compulsion: Written by ASHDU4

Neither girl particularly liked remembering what happened next, the way they died, the transition or the never ending hunger for blood. But those dark times did lead them to where they are now, right by Elijah's side where they will always remain.

Both girls were quite content following Elijah even though they would on occasion spend years running with other originals such as Niklaus which proved difficult for Beth as her sire-bond to Elijah never faulted her love for him. As many humans and vampires told her in the past she was more than lucky to be the centre of Elijah's affection but she still longed for the days when both Niklaus and Elijah were fighting for her hand.

Back in Mystic Falls again. I suppose it really isn't a bad town it is just filled with drama and Niklaus is here trying to break the curse once and for all. Annie and I are under strict orders not to leave the house Elijah has bought for us and when I say strict orders I mean compulsion. Being compelled isn't so bad since you can almost always find a loop hole but Elijah is always only trying to protect us from danger so he doesn't ever really need to compel us it's just a precaution.

Annie is going over the doppelgangers friends and family list with a boy named Luca that is supposed to be helping Elijah stop Niklaus's master plan to be a hybrid. She said it is just in case we need to help with distractions or spying but I suspect it might have more to do with his looks and less to do with the information he's supplying but who am I to judge? I'm in love with two original vampires one of which is trying to become a vampire werewolf hybrid.

"I'm back. Luca go to your home and stay with your father for now." Elijah commanded with barely a glance towards the boy.

As Luca left Elijah took a seat on the white love seat placed to the side of the living room letting out a long frustrated sigh signifying his day didn't go as planned.

"Is everything alright Elijah? Has something gone wrong?" Annie asked curiously.

"It hasn't gone wrong but I will need to change my plan of action. The doppelganger doesn't feel the need to cooperate and is trying to get herself killed in an idiotic attempt to save the Salvatore brothers and her family."

"As in the two brothers that Katerina turned in 1864 here in Mystic Falls? Do they know she wasn't in the burning church?" I asked cautiously, I know Elijah and Katherine (as she now goes by) have a thing for each other that sometimes can cause his mood to go sour.

"I believe they know more than they're letting on but for now it is not relevant. You two need not worry about them at the moment just focus on staying out of sight," Elijah turned to me and continued, "especially if Niklaus is returning to Mystic Falls, I don't want you to get in the middle of what is to come".

The conversation didn't seem to be going anywhere but my past with Niklaus and I'm sure neither of us wanted to get into that nor did Annie want to hear it again so I just went to the kitchen to get a blood bag and then go to bed.

Elijah knew the sire-bond was strong with both Annie and Beth but he also knew that Beth's feeling towards Niklaus could not just be ignored. She loved Niklaus the same way she loved him and that was definitely a threat to his plan to kill Niklaus. Thinking back on it he could remember the day he realized they were sired to him.

Not long after Annie and Beth were bitten word got out about what the two young friends had done. No one was happy about it. Esther and Ayana were furiously trying to come up with a spell to reverse what the girls had done to themselves. On one night while Elijah was roaming the small village, Annie and Beth found him. Begging for his help, they needed to be free from the imprisonment the sun held over them, they needed daylight rings. Elijah was still in a furious state that they used his blood to become vampires; it had caused him much grief with his father and them being able to take his blood so easily made him look weak something he could not afford to be seen as especially in the eyes of his younger siblings.

For weeks Beth and Annie apologized over and over again begging for his forgiveness and literally doing every task he asked of them. They would patch his clothing, sharpen his blade, and on one occasion out of a fit of rage on Elijah's part Annie allowed herself to be burned by the sun to show her loyalty and gratitude. He then gave his love to Beth and his respect to Annie and Ayana for having turned them both into vampires. It was then he realized he had complete loyalty from the two girls, a thought he greatly enjoys.

Though things have changed a lot since that day he knows he needn't fear their loyalty to him but then again love has been known to make people act out of character and both girls do have others they care deeply for….
