Chapter 10
I do not own The Vampire Diaries in any way.
A/N-Chapter song-Always gonna be you by Kenny Chesney.
I woke up this morning and completely forgot I wasn't at home. I got up and listened. I could hear a clicking noise. I slipped my sweatpants and tank top back on. I followed it and found Elijah in his study, typing on his laptop. I walked up behind him and kissed his head. "You need anything?" I asked him.
"I'm fine", he said.
"You sure? No blood? Do you need me to iron your suits? Take them to the dry cleaners?" I asked him.
He chuckled and leaned his head back, capturing my lips in a kiss. "Blood would be lovely", he said.
"Any particular type?" I asked him.
"No", he said and went back to typing.
I went to the kitchen and poured the blood into a mug and popped it in the microwave. When it was done, I took it to Elijah. I handed it to him.
He took a sip and groaned.
"Just like the real thing?" I asked him.
"Not quite", he said.
"Oh well, I tried", I said. I went into the bedroom and grabbed my journal. I went back into the study and sprawled out on the couch. I opened my journal.
Dear journal,
Last night was amazing. I'd almost forgotten about how good he is. I know that when Klaus comes, I really will have to choose between my family and the Originals. I love my brothers, but I love Elijah. And I see Klaus like my own brother.
"You still write in that?" Elijah asked.
"Yes", I snapped.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you", he said.
I didn't hear him come up behind me. I suddenly felt something cold around my neck. I looked down and saw a sliver locket. I leaned back to look at him. "Thank you", I said.
He leaned down and pecked me on the lips.
I grabbed his tie and pulled him closer to me. In a flash, I was in his lap. I grabbed his neck and kissed him. I kept my hand on the back of his head.
Elijah had one hand on my back and the other on my knee.
Jonas entered the room and cleared his throat.
Elijah and I separated.
"I've got the stuff", he said.
Elijah got up.
I tumbled off his lap onto the couch, completely light headed.
"Good", Elijah said, "My darling, Jonas and I have some work to do. Please find a quiet way to entertain yourself".
"Yes Elijah", I said obediently.
Jonas left the room.
Elijah leaned down and placed one last kiss on my lips. "You, my darling, are trouble", he said.
"But you love me for it", I teased him.
He smiled and kissed my head before leaving.
I decided to busy myself in the study tidying up. I organized Elijah's desk and cleaned up his papers. As I was going thru the study, I found some old drawings of a family. I recognized Klaus and Elijah, but the others I didn't.
My phone started to ring.
I went into the bedroom and answered it.
"Cough over the moonstone", Damon said.
"I don't have it right now", I told him.
"Then where is it?" he asked.
"Figure it out", I said. I decided I needed to go home. I grabbed Elijah's keys.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked.
"I need something from home", I told him, "I won't be long". I left the apartment and drove home. I snuck into the house and grabbed the moonstone from my jewelry box and went back to the apartment.
I found Elijah and Jonas sitting in the living room.
It appeared the Jonas was about to do a spell.
"So how exactly does the spell work?" Elijah asked.
"Give me your hand", Jonas said.
Elijah gave Jonas his hand and he cut it.
I cringed.
"Place it here", Jonas said.
Elijah put his hand on Elena's picture.
"Now take my hand", Jonas said.
Elijah put his hand in Jonas'.
"Close your eyes, relax your mind and look for her", Jonas said.
I put my hands on Elijah's shoulders. Elijah closed his eyes.
Jonas closed his eyes too and started the spell.
Elijah's eyes shot open.
"You saw her, didn't you?" Jonas asked.
"I know exactly where she is", Elijah said. Elijah got up.
"If one of my brothers asks where I am, just tell them that I'm safe, okay?" I told Elijah.
"Of course darling", he said. He flashed out of the apartment.
I went into the bedroom and tucked the moonstone into one of my drawers. I heard the apartment door open. I went into the living room to see who it was. "Oh, I'm sorry", I said when I saw it was a boy around Jeremy's age.
"It's fine", Jonas said, "Luka, this is Emilia. She's Elijah's".
"Hello", Luka said.
I went back into the bedroom and layed on the bed.
*Damon's Pov*
Elijah came bursting thru the door.
"I killed you. You were dead", I said.
"For centuries now", Elijah said. He tore out the two man's hearts and then turned to me. "Your sister is safe", he said, "She sends her love". With that, he flashed out of the apartment.
*Emilia's Pov*
Elijah arrived home.
"You didn't hurt him did you?" I asked him.
"No. I left him alive to protect Elena", he said.
"It's always about her", I muttered, "Her and Katherine".
Elijah wrapped me in his arms and said, "It will always be you. No matter what".
I pulled out of his arms and pulled the moonstone out of my pocket.
"How did you…?" he asked.
I just looked up at him.
He took it from me and kissed my lips.
My phone started to ring. I picked it up.
"You little brat", Damon spat, "You have the moonstone".
"Very good", I said teasingly.
"Because of you, Jeremy was attacked for no reason and now our brother is stuck in the tomb with Katherine", Damon said.
"I'm sorry, but it's better for you two to be in the dark", I said hanging up. I looked up at Elijah.
"Why did you do that?" he asked.
"Do what?" I asked him.
"Pick me over your family", he said, "I taught you that family is the most important thing".
"Not to me. You're the most important thing in my life Elijah. I love you. It'll always be you. I will always choose you. You're my reason for living", I told him.
He leaned down and kissed me passionately.
I grabbed onto the lapels of his suit jacket. I pulled myself closer to him and smiled when he let out a deep growl.
He pulled back his dark brown eyes dark with lust. "I love you", Elijah said and gently kissed me.
"I love you too Elijah", I told him.
