Chapter 10

danger looms

A werewolf in a human form, a danger. A vampire's biggest danger. The most deadly danger on the planet... But not as bad as Him, the father in law, he is the biggest danger to your family, young one. Protect them, protect him...

Abigail woke with a start in the bed she shared with Elijah. She was breathing heavily, her dark tresses a mess caused by restless sleep. She ran a hand over her sweaty face and sighed, attrmpting to catch her breath. Never had she woken like this during the whole two months she had been there with Klaus, Elijah and Hayley. The children were asleep, she's hear if they weren't, Elijah was asleep too. So she had not woken him.

Cool fingertips, traced the bottom of her bare spine and she shivered. Elijah wasn't asleep, he was very much awake. He sat up and kissed her shoulder, wrapping his arms around is wife.

"Dearest, is something wrong?" He asked her sleepily.

"I had a bad dream. It's nothing, my love." Abigail said her breathing still not quite normal.

"Something is wrong, isn't it?" Elijah asked, brushing her hair from her neck.

"Yes. I saw your father's face and the face of the woman from the human faction- miss Spanish features." Abigail growled as Elijah paused in his kissing of her neck.

"What did the ancestors say?" He asked as she turned to face him, her hands on his bare chest.

"'A werewolf in a human form, a danger. A vampire's biggest danger. The most deadly danger on the planet... But not as bad as Him, the father in law, he is the biggest danger to your family, young one. Protect them, protect him...' I have no idea what they are on about." Abigail sighed as Elijah wrapped his arms around her and pulled her naked form to him, protectively.

"You saw Mikael?"

"Yes."

"I won't let him hurt you again, Abby. Never." Elijah vowed, kissing her forehead.

"I know. My knight in shining armour." Abigail teased.

"You've been reading too many of those romantic novels, Abby..." He whispered with a smile. "Why don't I just hold you, until you can sleep again? I don't need sleep, but you, you my love, do."

Abigail agreed as the pair lay down so Abigail's head was on his chest. She fell quickly to sleep. Little did she know that she was right about the coming apocalypse and Mikael.
