Chapter 3

Buffy tried to call Klaus the same night that she spoke to Priscilla but it had been two days now and he still hadn't gotten back to her, she wasn't really sure if he would or not but she had to admit that she was starting to get mad. She had called a few different times leaving messages each time and even sent him a few texts. She hoped he was just busy because if he was ignoring something this important that meant him going away didn't help him at all.

She ran the whole situation by Elijah as soon as she got back from the meeting with Priscilla, since he knew the knowledge of vampires and werewolves better than she did. He agreed that she might be able to be saved, the blood might heal her but he told her not to count on it, the only way he really thought she could be saved is if they turned her into a vampire. He also agreed that he would feed her his own blood if they hadn't heard back from Klaus by the end of the week.

Buffy decided that she was going to host a small dinner party that evening, it would only consist of 6 people, the five of them and she also invited Marcel over. She and Marcel hadn't had much time together since she moved there and since she knew how Faith felt about him she decided she wanted to see first-hand how their relationship was. As of right now Faith didn't know that Buffy had sent an invitation to Marcel, she knew she was going to be a little upset once she found out but she also knew that she would get over it. Faith had really started caring for him and Buffy was afraid if they didn't end up setting something in concrete that she would sabotage the relationship just so he wouldn't be able to hurt her, Faith was known for it. In a way she and Klaus were more alike than Buffy liked to admit.

Buffy had just finished setting the table when Elijah walked in. "It smells wonderful in here."

Buffy just stood there, staring at this magnificent being, not believing that he was actually hers. "Why are you all the way over there?" She asked seductively.

He flashed to her and his mouth found hers immediately. It didn't matter how many times they've kissed Buffy still couldn't believe the effect it had on her. Each time was just as powerful as the last and they had done a lot of kissing the last few days. She hadn't heard the others enter the room and honestly she really didn't care to know they were there either, she would have been plenty satisfied to continue what she's doing. She didn't break from Elijah until she heard Faith yelling at her.

"What the hell is he doing here B?" She finally heard Faith yelling.

After that kiss with Elijah she didn't feel like arguing, so she just smiled at Faith and said "Chill out Faith, were just having dinner."

Faith looked at her like she wanted to say something else but stopped, she turned around and was about to storm out of the room until Marcel walked in catching her arm.

He looked between the slayers "Problems?"

Rebekah laughed then looked at Marcel "Good luck with that one."

Buffy looked around the room, not being able to contain her smile, Faith might be a little upset right now but she knew it would be worth it in the long run. She had all her favorite people in the French Quarter standing in the room with her and she couldn't be happier.

She finally looked at Marcel, "Thanks for joining us."

"Anytime, it's hard to turn down a good home cooked meal." He told the slayer.

Everyone took their seats, including Faith, she was hesitant at first but then took her place next to Marcel. As soon as everyone started eating the bad feelings went out the window. It seemed like a real family dinner, they were all talking and laughing. But the one thing she didn't miss was how Marcel was around Faith, it was right then that she knew he cared about her as well, which was the point of this whole dinner. Now the tricky part would be to talk to him without Faith getting all bent out of shape again. She figured she'd wait and do it the next time she had to take care of business with the vampires, then she'd have an excuse to be there and an excuse to be talking to Marcel one on one. She had really come to love Faith but she also still knew her and she knew how she hated people getting in her business.

They were cleaning up when a certain original hybrid walked in the door.

Buffy looked at him with confusion "What are you doing here?"

Klaus laughed "Didn't you ask me here?"

Then it dawned on her, he was there to help them with Priscilla, she had expected a phone call or something not just him showing up.

"And this is kind of my house as well." He said once he noticed that she wasn't going to reply.

"Sorry I didn't mean it like that, we just figured you would have called or something, not just show up." Buffy apologized.

"You know I don't play by the rules, you should know that love." Klaus told her not taking his eyes off her.

"Niklaus, what a surprise, we were starting to think you were not receiving our messages?" Elijah said as he walked into the room and found his spot right next to Buffy.

Klaus finally took his eyes from Buffy and settled them on his brother, "Elijah I'm just here to help, I hear one of our dear werewolf friends is sick and she thinks that my blood might be the key to saving her."

"We don't know for sure but right now it's the only option we have and she won't accept any other vampires blood," Buffy told Klaus "I think it has to do with you being part werewolf to, she feels it's a less traitorous way to go."

Klaus took a step toward Buffy "For you love, I'll do it."

"Brother" Elijah warned him.

"What?" Klaus said as he smiled at his brother "I wasn't going to do anything, don't forget I'm the one who told you to go for her."

Elijah didn't reply to his brother instead he put his arm around Buffy's waist and pulled her to him. This gesture just made Klaus smile. Buffy knew he was just trying to show off to his brother but she couldn't help but hate being in the middle of the feud between them, she obviously had made her choice and Klaus seemed like he understood it. But things seemed so different now and she didn't understand why.

She was feeling this pull toward Klaus and she wasn't liking it very much, she knew how Elijah made her feel and that was true love and she knew she wanted nothing more than him so what was this feeling she had when she was around Klaus? It wasn't there when they had met a couple days ago away from the city, when she seen him she felt absolutely nothing inappropriate but now that they were back in the French Quarter she was feeling some of the same feelings she had when she had first met him.

She must have spaced out because she noticed both Klaus and Elijah were staring at her.

"What?" She asked.

"Are you alright?" Elijah asked her.

Obviously he was reading her and he was sensing all these mixed feelings she was having. Now she felt even worse than she had before, not only was she thinking inappropriate things about her boyfriend's brother but now she realized that he knew she was thinking them.

"I'm fine" She tried her hardest to lie.

"Well I'm going to go visit our werewolf girl, you coming?" Klaus asked Buffy.

She knew she had to be there but she didn't want to go with Klaus, she didn't want to be alone with him.

Elijah put his hands on the sides of Buffy's face "You go and get this done alright? She is only doing this because of you, so you need to be there for her."

Buffy nodded "I know I need to be there but something's not right."

Elijah looked at her worried "What do you mean?"

"I don't know how to explain it but I don't feel like myself, I kept feeling like something was wrong the last couple days but it wasn't until today that I realized something is really wrong and it's starting to scare me." Buffy told him.

"Go take care of Priscilla and we'll figure out what's going on when you get back alright?" He said. She couldn't help but feel the calming in his voice.

She nodded then wrapped her arms around his neck "I love you Elijah."

"I love you to" He whispered in her ear.
