Hello All! I am finally done with Chapter 4! I just wanted to say thanks to my readers out there! It is amazing how many views I have! It makes me very happy! Anyway, you all get a little Elijah interaction in this chapter! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my character.
As Damon and Rose are inside the house discussing things with Stefan, I decided to get some fresh air. I touch my scar on my hand, trying to calm myself down. The smell of burning flesh still in my mind. A smooth voice came behind me,
"I apologize I did not mean to cause you any pain."
I hold my breath and turn around. Elijah is standing in front of me. I let out a breath, "Well why does it matter if I am in pain or not?"
Elijah looks at my scar, eyes filled with sadness, "I look at you and see the pain that you have gone through in your life. You must have lost your parents if you live with the Salvatore brothers yes?"
I look at him in surprise, "How do you know that I am not just some 19 year old trying to get away from her family?"
Elijah tilts his head and smiles sadly, "I know that look anywhere. When someone you love dies, I can see it in your eyes. Remember that I have lived through many centuries and have seen many things. I know what it is like to lose a loved one."
I give him a confused look, "How do you know? You guys are all vampires."
He takes a step closer, the sadness in his eyes comes out in his voice, "Before my family became vampires, we had another sibling, the youngest of us all. He was killed by a werewolf. For me, family means everything and I see that you care about the Salvatore brothers above all else. They are your family and you love them, just like how I love my family. You look past their flaws and see the goodness in them. No matter what people say about them, you still stand by their side. That is what I like about you. The one thing that I do not have, is what you have the most, love."
I take a step back, thinking about all the things that he has done, "So how do I know that you what you are saying is the truth?"
Elijah smiles, "You do not know it yet, but I am on your side. Let me prove it. There is a man who is behind this all. His name is Klaus."
I am about to ask him who Klaus is when I hear Stefan.
"Alysiah! Come inside! Quick! Damon is attempting to make dinner!" He yells from the front door.
Elijah chuckles, "Well I must be going my love. I shall see you soon."
I turn and look at where he was standing. I wonder about the my love phrase again.
"Alysiah!" Stefan says in a desperate tone, "He is burning the Mac and Cheese!"
I laugh and walk inside.
After many boxes of Mac and Cheese put to waste, I finally got Damon to let me take charge.
Now we are sitting in the living room discussing our next plan of action. Elena showed up after Stefan called her.
"So what you guys are telling me is that the moonstone can make either vampires allowed to walk in sunlight or werewolves to turn at will?"
Damon looks at Rose, who nods. "Yes, apparently whoever breaks the curse, dooms the other. If a werewolf breaks the curse, then vampires can only walk at night, and vice versa."
Elena has a thoughtful look on her face, "And where did you guys get this information?"
I look at Rose who says, "We got the information from my friend Slater."
After finishing my mac and cheese, I called it a night and went to bed, still thinking about Elijah.
Outside in the darkness, a figure watches Alysiah's room. When the light turns off, he sighs.
"Good night my love. Sweet dreams."
The next day I found out that Elena has convinced Rose to take her to Slater.
"Elena, I am not sure that is a good idea." I say, "What would Stefan and Damon think?"
She gives me a smile, "They will think that I am going shopping in the next city with you and Rose!"
I take a step back, "Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. You roped me into this?! Uh. No."
Elena looks at me with her big, puppy dog face. "Pwease Alysiah? Pwetty pwease?"
I sigh, "Okay. But if there is any trouble, I am calling my brothers."
Elena jumped for joy and got in the passenger seat. As I start to get in I get that feeling of Elijah's eyes on me again. As I begin to look around, the car starts, making me jump.
"Whoa Alysiah a little jumpy there eh?" Rose asks.
"Yeah just have a bad feeling about this." I said shutting the door.
Rose laughs, "Don't worry, I know how to drive."
I mutter to myself, "That is not what I am worried about."
I know it is a somewhat short chapter but I had to work a long shift. I love all of the reviews I am getting and would love to hear what you guys have to say. I am already starting on the fifth chapter so thank you very much and have an amazing day!
