Yay another chapter!
Chapter Eleven
"Thank you." Elena said and gave her a hug.
"Go." Elijah said. "I'll pick up."
She kissed his cheek and went straight to bed. Elijah cleaned up and put Elena's things in her backpack. He checked up on the twins before heading to the room. He loved seeing her sleep. He fell asleep few minutes later. He could feel her stare.
"When did you joined the war?" Elena asked him.
"After the bombings at Pearl Harbor."
"What made you joined?"
"The infamy of the attack and I knew a young warlock who was stationed at Pearl Harbor. He was in USS Arizona." Elijah said. "The US wasn't completely neutral during that time. I was in favor of the US joining the war before they had attacked us."
"Is that why Kol was in DC?"
"Yes. We began to hear of the atrocities Hitler was doing. We began to plan. Freya and Rebekah were going to go to Pearl Harbor. Finn, Klaus and I would go to Europe while Kol was going to stay in DC." Elijah said. "Elena, the smell was overwhelming. The smell of the gas and the burnt corpses it was something so inhumane. The killing of innocent children. They were used in medical experiments."
"How did you managed it?" Elena asked.
"Torturing the SS." Elijah said.
"Knowing Klaus he didn't act kindly." Elena said.
"He would do the same exact things they did to the Jews." Elijah said. "You should shower before they wake up. We can continue talking later about it."
She kissed him in the lips and then got up. After taking a shower she began to pump out milk. She wasn't comfortable breastfeeding while having company. Few seconds later the twins woke up. She breastfed the twins and sang to them. Elijah loved watching her with their twins. He flashed towards her and kissed her passionately.
"I'm amazed by you."
She blushed.
"I love you, my handsome Elijah."
She finished breastfeeding the twins and got ready for her day. He helped her put the twins back to sleep.
"Rebekah is here." He said as he heard the car stop and the doors opened and closed.
"It's Saturday." Elena replied. "I had other things in mind."
"We're bringing food and coffee." Rebekah said.
Elijah told Elena what Rebekah had said. Elena kissed him. Elijah walked towards the front door and opened the door and to his surprise all of his siblings were there. Few minutes later, Elena walked to the kitchen.
"I just came for the coffee."
"Sorry for ruining your morning." Freya said.
"I imagine someone made you come."
"I just mentioned to them that we were doing a project about World War II."
"I want them to know that the Holocaust really happened."
They all gathered around the kitchen table discussing the Holocaust and having breakfast. They were going through the years and what weapons every country involved in the war had.
"The Germans were well structured." Klaus said.
"We had been making plans to land through Great Britain to help out the Russians as the Germans were getting close to Moscow." Kol replied. "We finally agreed that we would enter through South France. We had to make fake plans in order our plan to work and of course we knew the Germans were going to put some problems in our way but we moved through."
"The weather wasn't cooperating with our plans but there was one clear day and we seized our opportunity, June 6, 1944 under General Dwight Eisenhower."
They were so into the war that they had forgotten time had flown by. The twins started crying. Elijah walked towards the fridge and got the milk out while Rebekah followed Elena to the twins' room. Elijah heated up the milk. He gave one of the bottles to Elena and the other to Rebekah. Elijah ordered pizza for them. Few minutes later, the doorbell rang. Elijah got up to answer the door, he got the pizza and paid him.
"There was an assassination attempt on Hitler July 20th which was unsuccessful."
"We advanced through France. We finally reached Paris and liberated it. The Allies were getting closer. After Kluge and Rommel committed suicide the Germans noticed that the end was coming." Klaus said.
"The Allies kept moving towards Germany, thus liberating from the Germans." Klaus said. "We liberated almost every concentration camp except three. Those three the Germans destroyed them before the Allies reached them."
They continued to talk about the war and the Holocaust. How everything changed their lives. The twins began to cry again. Elijah and Elena went to the twins rooms. They changed their diapers. He noticed that she was worried.
"They can leave, if you want to."
"That's not necessary." Elena replied. "I want to finish getting all the facts before I started writing the essay. This will only take a few minutes."
"I'll be right back."
"Okay."
"We'll prepare dinner." Freya said. "Come on Bekah, help me out."
"Thank you." Elijah said and grabbed a glass and pour water for Elena.
He heard Elena's singing. He knew his siblings were hearing her.
"Please don't mention it to her." Elijah said. "She doesn't want anybody to know."
They all nodded with their heads. Freya and Rebekah began planning what they were doing for dinner while Elijah went to Elena. She had finished breastfeeding them. He picked Elif while she picked up Lia to make them burp and then they switched sides. They put the twins to sleep after she had finished breastfeeding them. Elena and Elijah walked towards the kitchen. It smelled good.
"Dinner is almost ready." Freya said.
"Thank you." Elena replied.
"Let us enjoy dinner before we conclude with that bloody war." Rebekah replied.
"Duly noted." Elena said.
Elena and Elijah set up the bar in the kitchen to have dinner.
"So did you figure out a way for Caroline to forgive you?" Elena asked Klaus.
"No." Klaus answered.
"A little tip, don't go with the conventional things." Elena said. "You're going to have a child together. This child needs you both of you. You two love each other."
"Thank you." Klaus said.
They all didn't expect for Klaus to say that. He didn't like being told what to do but they guessed that he loved Caroline much more than what he allowed them to see. After dinner, Elijah washed the dishes as the rest went back to the dining room table to continue with the World War II facts.
"There was not only Jews, but Romani's, Polish POW's, homosexuals, Soviet POW's, communists, Jehovah witnesses and disabled in the concentration camps. Once they arrived they were 'disinfected.' If they arrived at an extermination camp, they would make two lines: the ones were they could work and the ones they couldn't. The ones couldn't were immediately gassed to death." Klaus replied.
"Once the Third Reich established, the Nazi leaders proclaimed the existence of Volksgemeinschaft, a 'people's community.' Which divided the population into two categories; the Volksgenossen a 'National comrades' and the Gemeinschaftsfremde a 'community aliens.' The Jews and Romanis who were considered as 'racial' enemies because of their blood and they needed to be elimanated and removed from society." Elijah said walking towards the table.
~*~TVD~*~
"There were exceptions though." Klaus said.
"Yes, there were two groups the political opponents like the Marxists, liberals, Christians and the 'reactionaries', and the moral opponents like the homosexuals, 'workshy' and habitual criminals were seen as wayward 'National Comrades.' This two groups were sent to concentration camps for re-education so they could incorporated back to the Volksgemeinschaft."
They had given her all the information she needed to finish writing the research paper. Freya had made her siblings help out clean. The twins started crying. Elena said goodbye and headed towards the twins rooms. Elijah followed her. He helped her get ready to breastfeed the twins. Once she was set, he left her alone to say goodbye to his siblings. Elena began to sing to the twins. He arrived just in time to burp them.
"Elijah, something is in your mind. What is it?"
"I still remembered the day we rescued a baby. She was so malnourished. She was on a brink of death. Her mother had died only hours before." Elijah said.
"How did you find her?" Elena asked him.
"She was crying. Elena, her cries sounded like a dying cat."
"What happened to her?"
"We took her with us. We raised her till she reached the age of 21. She said she wanted a human life." Elijah said. "I named her Irina."
"Wow!" Elena replied as she had begun to breastfeed the again.
She began to sing to the twins. They always relaxed when she sang to them while they breastfed, which would keep her happy. She had an idea but she didn't know if he would agree with her. Once the twins finished breastfeeding they put them in their cribs and they went back to their room. Elijah pulled her closer to him and began to kiss her. They did what she wanted to do that morning. She watched him sleep the following morning.
"Elijah, I need to tell you an idea I have in mind."
"Tell me." He said looking at her intently.
"Lijah, I want to go time travelling. I want to meet Henrik and seriously I want more children."
"Lena." Elijah said. "You're the doppelganger, wouldn't you stand out?"
"We could work something out." Elena said.
"Is this really what you want?"
"Yes."
"I don't agree but I am going to respect your decision." Elijah said.
She kissed him in the lips. "Thank you."
She texted his family, Caroline and Bonnie to come and have breakfast with them in one hour. That gave them time to breastfeed the twins, pump milk and prepare the breakfast. Exactly an hour they all arrived.
"What's with the breakfast?" Caroline questioned as they had finished with their breakfast.
"Well, I gathered all of you here today because I want to go time travelling and meet Henrik."
They were all silent for a few minutes and then all started talking at the same time.
"Silence! One at a time!" Elena stated.
"It's not only Henrik you're going to meet." Freya said.
"I know." Elena said. "I've been giving some thought about that for some time now. He's not only the reason I want to go back."
"Before or after Tatia." Rebekah stated. "The original doppelganger is going to be there."
"I don't know." Elena said.
"What exact time do you want?" Rebekah asked.
"What about a little bit before the year Tatia arrived town." Elijah year.
"So you want to go now?" Bonnie asked.
"That sounds good, Lijah. The sooner the better." Elena said. "Lijah, I'm taking the twins with me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
While Bonnie worked on her magic, Elena went to the twins to retrieve them.
"Please wait for me. I'll be right back." Freya said.
Freya flashed out of their house. Elena felt his embrace as he pulled them closer to him.
"It's going to be okay. Our bond is stronger." Elena said.
Few minutes later Freya came back with a bag.
"You'll need this." Freya said opening the bag and getting things out. "There's clothes for you and the twins. You'll need to change now."
Elena gave the twins to Elijah and she went to change. When she came back Freya and Rebekah began to work on her hair.
"I'm ready." Bonnie said waiting for Elena.
"You're set." Freya said.
Elijah kissed the twins and then handed them back to Elena. He kissed her. Elena looked at Bonnie and nodded her head at her. Bonnie started the spell. Elena closed her eyes and kept the twins closer to her. When she opened them she was back in the past. The twins started crying. Elena began to sing their lullaby and they began to calm down.
"Do you need help?"
She recognized that voice even blindfolded.
"I don't have nowhere to stay." Elena said.
"Lijah, Mother is looking for you." Rebekah said. "Hello, do you need help?"
"I was telling him that I don't have nowhere to stay as I just arrived here."
They had found a place for her to stay. She recognized the area. When Elijah was in the future, he had had told her how his life was. She was prepared for that. At least she was alone. She didn't want to admit it but she was afraid of Mikael. She was adjusting when she heard a knock on the door and opened it.
"Mother sent us to help you, so we could take you to the caves." Freya said. "This is our little brother, Henrik."
She let them in. They entertained the twins while Elena packed what she needed to sleep at the caves. They walked towards the caves. She had met Esther, Mikael, Finn, Klaus, and Kol.
"I like you." Henrik said. "I hope you marry my brother."
"Which brother, Henrik?" She asked him.
"Who else but Elijah?" Henrik said and looked around. "It's our own little secret."
"Our own little secret." She replied.
They set up to sleep but she couldn't even sleep. It was too much for her, too many people crowded. The following morning Freya and Rebekah helped her pack to go back. Esther invited her for breakfast. She wanted to say no but Rebekah implored her to stay. She had no choice but to go with them. Mikael got Elif while Rebekah got Lia. She was surprised because he was so different with them.
"They are so beautiful." Rebekah said.
"Thank you."
Bonnie had to make a spell on them as the twins looked so much like their father. She looked up as she had felt his eyes on her. She smiled.
Elena was feeding the twins.
"Please forgive me." Elijah said turning around. "I had forgotten Mother told me not to come in."
"I'm sorry, I'm imposing."
"You are not. I should go outside." Elijah said and walked towards the door.
She finished feeding the twins and got dressed, she really missed Elijah's help, it wasn't an easy task but she made it work.
I know people will kill me for it...but I feel that of all of them Elijah would be the one to have more children.
