A/N: This chapter is a little on the short side, but it's definitely worth reading anyways because it contains the very first Violet and Elijah conversation that you guys will see in A Thousand Red Roses. I hope all of you enjoy this chapter as much as you enjoyed chapter five!


Violet went with Kol back to the Mikaelson home after walking for a while longer through the meadow. She really wanted to talk to Finn and find out who that girl Kol had mentioned he had fallen in love with, Sage, really was. When she and Kol reached the mansion, they found that Nik, Tatia, Finn and Elijah had left, leaving them alone with Rebekah. They saw her in the living room, reading the newspaper on the couch. She looked up when they came into the room.

"Finally, you're home. I was beginning to get bored without your pestering. Finn, Elijah and Nik aren't home and that girl that keeps on coming over here…Tatiana, or whatever her name is, isn't here either," Rebekah told Kol. The Original brother sighed inwardly.

"Can you go find Finn, love? He should be somewhere outside, maybe in the garden. I need to speak to Rebekah," Kol said to Violet.

"All right," Violet said. She smiled at him and he smiled back before she went outside to find Finn.


After twenty minutes of looking around outside for Finn, Violet still didn't see any sign of him. She did, however, find Elijah taking a walk alone in the hedge maze that was in the backyard of the mansion.

"Elijah," Violet said when she caught up with him. He turned his gaze onto hers and smiled a little at her.

"Hello, Violetta. Have you, by any chance, seen Tatia?"

"No, I was with Kol. Have you seen Finn?"

"He's running a few errands in town, but I believe that he will be back shortly," Elijah replied.

"How long have you been waiting for Tatia?"

"Half an hour…maybe more," Elijah said.

"Really? She's never later than five minutes when she's meeting someone," Violet said. Elijah's smile wavered slightly.

"She's probably with Niklaus again," he said. A hint of anger mixed with annoyance was faintly evident in his voice, but Violet caught it anyways.

"You deserve to be with someone who doesn't always keep you waiting for her. I know what Tatia's like. She's stubborn and she will refuse to choose between you and Nik," Violet said softly to him. Elijah was silent for a long while before he finally spoke again.

"I know," he said so quietly that Violet almost didn't hear him. Elijah looked so heartbreakingly miserable that Violet wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. At first, Elijah stood still, but then he returned her hug and wrapped his arms around her. Violet's entire mind filled up with all the yearning pain she could feel radiating out of Elijah's broken heart as she tried her best to heal and soothe it with all of the powers she had as a witch.
