Hello lovelies. Sorry for the long delay. I hope you like this chapter.
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this
Chapter Ten
"When we got there she was on top of Sergio throwing punches. We couldn't even remove her. Iliana talked to her and that's how we could stop her. We can't make her talk." The Principal said.
"Mali, what happened?" Elena asked.
"I left Lia alone for a few minutes to go to the bathroom when I returned she wasn't there. I heard her yell and he was on top of her." Mali said and straightened and she looked at Elijah. "Daddy what is 'touch you there' and 'real man'? He said it to Lia."
Elijah's look said it all and she could understand why.
"Care to explain to my daughter?" Elena asked looking to the Mother of the little boy. "My husband and I are really careful on how we raise our children and what they see on TV I don't expect every family to do the same but a little respect you could teach your child would come handy."
"Where's Iliana?" Elijah asked.
The Principal picked her phone and dialed her secretary. The secretary called back saying that Iliana was at the Nurse's office. The Nurse walked inside with a still crying Lia. She ran to Elijah's arms as soon as she saw him. Elijah picked her up.
"I want Daddy. I want Daddy."
"I'll call Daddy." Elijah said getting his phone out. "Niklaus, you and Caroline need to get to school as fast as you can. There's been a problem."
"We are on our way." Klaus replied.
"Okay." Elijah replied and hang up. "Daddy is coming."
"Elijah, we enrolled our kids in this school because we thought it was safe but know I don't think it is anymore." Elena said as she sat Mali on the chair.
"Wait a second, we are." The Principal said.
"This incident just proves us right." Elijah said.
The Principal phone started ringing.
"Mrs. Pinkston, Mr. and Mrs. Mikaelson are here to see you."
"Thank you, Lauren please tell them to come in."
The door opened and Klaus and Caroline entered the office.
"Elijah, what happened?"
"Mali got into a fight with Sergio because he was on top of Lia saying and doing things that's only appropriate for adult themes." Elijah said as Lia went to Klaus arms.
"I did not do that." Sergio said.
Mali got down from the chair and knocked the boy with a punch.
"Hey, stop it." Elena said. "Baby, you've never been that violent."
"I no liar. He did that to her." Mali said.
"Lia, are you okay?" Caroline asked as she removed her blonde hair from her face.
"No it hurts here." Lia replied a little lower of her waist.
Klaus glared at the Mother of Sergio. Elijah knew that Klaus wanted to snap her neck and he couldn't blame him.
"I've tried to check her but she wouldn't let me." The Nurse replied. "She only told me it hurt and wouldn't stop crying."
"Lia, let me check you. Let's go to the restroom." Caroline said.
Lia went with her. Few minutes passed and Caroline entered the Principal office with a sleeping child in her arms.
"What's wrong love?" Klaus asked.
"She has a bruise on both sides and on the back." Caroline replied.
"It's just a little bruise no need to be over dramatic." The Mother of Sergio said.
"If Sergio was a girl you wouldn't be making those comments." Caroline replied.
"Be grateful your son is not of age to take him to court for assault or we don't have the guillotine anymore. You could explain that to him as he already knows so much of other things." Klaus said glaring towards the Mother and then looked at the Principal. "Call your secretary so she could bring my son. I'm taking my children from this school."
"While you're at it bring mine too and my brother Kol's too." Elijah replied. "They won't be coming anytime soon."
"Please think of the kids." The Principal said.
"That's why we are doing it." Elijah replied.
The Nurse excused herself and left the office. He was losing his patience and he wasn't the only one.
"We already made a decision respect it." Klaus replied keeping his anger in check.
The Principal got her phone and asked her secretary to bring all of the Mikaelson's into her office. Few minutes later the kids walked into the office and they all walked out. When they arrived home they talked to Kol and Bonnie and they all decided to move somewhere else.
"But where else?" Bonnie asked.
"What about Syracuse, New York?" Rebekah replied.
"That would be nice." Elena said.
"So we are going house shopping." Elena replied.
"One tiny detail." Caroline said.
"What?" Elena asked.
"Take Mali with you." Rebekah, Caroline and Bonnie said at the same time.
"You're so mean." Elena said.
"The last time you went away she couldn't stop crying driving us nuts." Caroline said.
"You all made our week long cut short." Elijah replied.
"Not to pin point fingers but that was your very attached to his Mama and Daddy daughter." Bonnie said.
"Yeah her Mama can't even get out of her sight for one second because she goes all Klaus." Kol replied.
"Hey." Klaus said.
"It's not like if we are lying. It runs in her blood." Rebekah replied.
Elijah and Elena began to pack for them and Mali. As much as he didn't want to admit it his family was right. Mali would go all Klaus crazy if she didn't see her Mama.
"What do you want to be when you grow up sweetheart?" Elijah heard Klaus ask.
"I want to be like Mommy." Mali said.
"What do you mean?" Caroline asked.
"Like roar, big and scary." Mali said.
Elena looked at Elijah. Elijah saw the look in her eyes. She didn't want that for her kids. He didn't want it either but they knew that she was stubborn and she was little. He really didn't want to worry about that just yet. He wanted to enjoy his little girl spontaneity something she inherited from her Aunt Rebekah.

They walked down and got ready to take off. Her two little boys said bye to them and then continued to play like anything. Mali kept saying goodbye to everybody and blowing kisses.
"She reminds me of you." Klaus said to Bekah. "You were so adorable and then you grew up and everything changed."
Rebekah threw him a couch pillow. "And you're a candy more like a sour candy."
"Okay. We got to get going. We will call you when we find the perfect house." Elena said.
Elijah, Elena and Mali left to Syracuse, New York for a new house. Mali was excited and wouldn't stop talking on the entire trip.
"Mommy, I'm hungry. I'm tired."
"We're almost there." Elena said.
She took notice the distance from the hotel to the nearest restaurant. Somewhere where she could go on a human speed and not draw attention. They entered the parking lot of the hotel and she got down and helped Mali get down.
"Lijah, you get registered and we go to the restaurant so this little hungry girl can eat." Elena said.
"I'll see you there." Elijah said.
She didn't want to walk. She wanted Elena to carry her. Elena picked her up. She walked into the restaurant and helped her get down. They walked into the restaurant and got her down.
"Pick up a table."
"That one." She said to the one that was facing the window.
They sat down and the waitress was there within minutes. Elena only asked for one menu and ordered orange juice for Mali and coffee for her.
"So what do you want to eat?" Elena asked her.
"Chocolate chip pancakes." Mali replied.
The waiter came back and asked if they were ready to order. Elena ordered chocolate chip pancakes for Mali and she ordered waffles for her.
"What are my two beautiful girls ordering?" Elijah asked.
"Daddy!" Mali screamed.
Elena laughed at Mali's reaction. If it was the other way around she would had jumped to Elena's arms. Elena the moment she had her little girl in her arms thought she would be Daddy's little girl but she got that wrong she was Mommy's little girl.
"Mommy, where are we going?" Mali asked as they were leaving the hotel parking lot.
"We are looking for a new house." Elena replied.
Elijah parked the truck in house. The person they were going to talk to was already there. Mali started making faces but didn't say anything. Elijah and the man talked for a little while and then he opened the door for them.
"Mommy, I don't like it here." Mali said. "Let's go outside."
Elena excused herself and walked out with Mali.
"What's the matter, Mali?" Elena asked as she squatted down to Mali's size.
"Mommy, someone died there." Mali mouthed out for Elena to read her lips.
"Mali, people die every day." Elena said and knew that Elijah would pick up.
"But she was human killed by vampires. I could sense it. She had the worst of deaths Mommy. I don't want to live in that house." Mali mouthed once again.
"Why are the owners selling the house?" Elena heard Elijah asked.
"They didn't want to live here anymore." Elena heard the man answer nervously.
Elijah and Elena knew he knew something he wasn't telling them.
"What happened in this house?" Elijah asked.
"I…I…I don't know…."
"You are going to tell me what happened in this house." Elijah compelled the man.
"I'm going to tell you what happened here. The owners had only one daughter her name was Pearl she was brutally killed. Pearl was only sixteen years old parents came home to find pieces of her all over the living room."
"You're not to remember what you just told me." Elijah compelled him again.
"I'm not going to remember." The man answered.
"Thank you for showing us the home but we must decline. The house is too small for our big family." Elijah said.
"No thank you for coming." The man said.
They walked into the truck and were backing out when Elena's phone started ringing.
"Hello Bon." Elena said.
"What happened? The kids started crying and screaming we didn't know what was happening until we called Anica and she explained that something was causing Mali fear."
"We went to see a house where a sixteen year old was brutally murdered by vampires." Elena replied.
"How was she killed?" Klaus asked.
"Torn into pieces." Elena replied between clenched teeth.
"I know who did it." Klaus replied. "Everything to its time."
"Have you found a house already?" Care asked.
"No not yet. I hope very soon." Elijah replied.
They continued to search for houses until they found the perfect one. Mali approved one. Moments later after buying the house they called the family.
"Aunt Bekah, we have a house." Mali said giving her the good news.
Mali loved all of her Uncles and Aunts but her favorite one was her Aunt Becks after her Mom and Dad. She was ready to go back home and start packing. Mali was really excited and couldn't wait to show it to her older brothers.
"Mommy, are we almost there?"
"Yes we are almost there." Elena said smiling.
Mali made a face when she noticed that Anton was talking to a little girl. Elena looked at Elijah and he just shrugged his shoulders knowing the tantrum she was going to do. If both of her brothers could be overprotective with her she didn't seem to understand why she couldn't view them as her property.
"And you are?" Mali asked putting both of her hands in her waist.
"I'm Cassandra but you may call me Cassie. I'm new to the neighborhood." The little girl said extending her hand.
Mali made a face and really thought about it before shaking the little girl hand.
"Hi my name is Amaryllis."
"You have a pretty name."
"Thank you." Mali said and looked at her brother.
Mali left Elena perplexed she even invited her in and help her pack. She probably sensed something. Well, it was after all the witch in her and like her Aunt Becks she knew when someone was lying to her.
