Chapter 36
A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.
Hey guys it still Elejah but part II with some other pairings. The first drabble of this story just gave me such an idea. Enjoy.
Elena had arrived home safe and sound. As Elijah drove the rest of the way to her house even though she was a vampire and could walk. He even had the courtesy to walk her to her door. That's what Elena always loved about him. He was such a gentlemen. She didn't understand why he didn't have a girlfriend. She turned to say good night and found him gazing at the moon.
"What is it?" She said. He didn't turn to her as he spoke.
"There's something special about this moon tomorrow night. I wouldn't worry about it. I am sure that it is nothing bad. Good night Elena,"
"Elijah, will you be in town for long?" She asked. He turned to her. He shrugged.
"Would you wish for me to stay," She blushed.
"Ah yeah…I mean if you want to." She rambled. He smiled to her.
"I will stay for awhile as you wish. Good night Elena," He turned and left without another word.
The next day Elena awoke with hearing knocking on her door. Elena sighed and got up walking downstairs. She cursed, who was up at this hour. She reached the door and opened it to find Bonnie.
"Oh thank god, you're back and alright." She pulled in Elena into a bear hug. Elena smiled and nodded while letting Bonnie in. Bonnie looked around and slowly turned to her.
"So Elena, I think I might have found something, it's not a spell but some traditional ritual." Elena raised an eyebrow.
"Ritual?"
"Yeah, I was going through some old grimores that I found that dated all the way back to maybe a thousand years ago and I found this ritual about mates." Elena blinked twice hearing the word that Elijah had used once again.
"What is the ritual?"
"Well according to the book every five hundred years the sun and the moon come into some contact with each other. This effects more of the supernatural. It brings the Light and Dark in balance. While in balance at the stroke of midnight any supernatural creature can find their mate. It's almost like what I would like to call the mating game. You find your mate much faster, and easier than you would on a normal day. And it only happens every five hundred years or so." She said. Elena looked at her.
"So what were going to play the game tonight?" She asked. Bonnie nodded.
"It might be a way to break the sire bond that Damon has on you." Elena sighed.
"Are you sure Bonnie? That this is not dangerous." Bonnie nodded.
"Yes, I'll I have to do make a blessing to the spirits and they will give the power to extend the time to find your mate till morning. That's the longest it can be. So hopefully it will give you enough time to." She said. Elena thought about this.
"Alright, let's do it."
Elena, Bonnie and Caroline showed up in the woods. Caroline looked around. Bonnie had explained that she would be able to find her mate as well. Caroline smiled thinking about Tyler and her being mates. As Bonnie was about to begin the ritual they were interrupted by movement. They turned to find Stefan and Damon emerged into the clearing.
"So what's the witch up to?" Damon asked. Elena glanced at him. "Where have you been?" He demanded and turned to Elena. Caroline rolled her eyes. Honestly sometimes Damon was such a control freak.
"I went out of town. I needed to get away from here." She said turning away from him. Even though the sire bond was starting to make her give into him again. But strangely she was starting to gain back control of herself.
"Caroline, there you are." Caroline turned to Tyler and smiled till she saw Hayley right behind him. She glared at her.
"Tyler," She greeted. "What she doing here?" Tyler sighed.
"Caroline she is here as a friend." Caroline folded her arms across her chest sighing.
"God is there anyone else interested to find out what the witch is doing?" Bonnie said.
"Well I happen to be curious," They turned to see Rebekah walking over with Elijah and Klaus behind her. "So what is going on here?" She asked. Elena glared at her.
"I don't think it's any of your business," Bonnie said through her teeth.
"Miss Bennett might I ask what is going on?" Bonnie glanced at Elijah cursing how polite and gentlemen like he was. She sighed.
"Were doing a ritual,"
"Oo, a ritual for what judgy?" Damon quipped.
"To find a mate." Caroline said.
"A mate? Not like where an Australian calls someone 'mate'?" Tyler said. Caroline stared at him. "What?" Caroline was starting to wonder if all his brains were literally in his biceps.
"No, mates as in two people, that happen to be meant for one another and will never be with another." Caroline said. No wonder he didn't seem to ever get higher than a C average. Bonnie nodded.
"So now if you excuse us I have to have the help of the spirits to make it last longer." She said walking away to began making an offering.
"Wait! I want to join too." Rebekah cried. Bonnie turned to her and sighed.
"Fine," Rebekah walked over. When Damon was about to say that he wanted to join. Bonnie cut him off. "Anyone who wants to join, join." Elena was shocked when Klaus decided he wanted to join. As Bonnie did the spell she waited until she felt the energy of the full moon and the sun a line and in balance. Bonnie turned to them.
"Ok according to the book females go first to trying to track down their mate. The males join in after giving the females a good head start." Bonnie looked to Elena, Caroline, Rebekah, and Hayley. Bonnie looked up at the moon before sighing. "Females may now go." She read. They looked at Bonnie slightly confused before Bonnie pointed to the woods. Elena, Caroline, and Rebekah flashed off while Hayley walked into the woods. Elena flashed through the woods unsure of what she was looking for. Meanwhile Bonnie raised her arm like a flag for the guys to go. But no one did. She gave them a look. "Aren't you going?" She asked.
"Oh that's what that means." Damon smirked before flashing off to find Elena along with the others. Bonnie sat there waiting until she heard movement.
"Ah well if it isn't the Bennett witch." She turned to Kol.
"What do you want Kol?" She asked. He shrugged.
"I don't know, I was looking for a meal like that delicious red head when I suddenly felt drawn to a scent. I followed it all the way here." Bonnie rolled her eyes.
"Never would have thought you would have a mate but you do apparently now go find her before the sun comes up." She said. Kol smirked and followed the scent but it kept leading him back to Bonnie. And as he got closer it grew stronger. "What are you doing?" She asked.
"It appears I have found my mate." He smirked. She stared at him finally processing that he meant her.
"No," He only smirked wider. "I can't be your mate!"
"Well darling all the signs point to you. So what now?" She stared at him.
"I'm leaving." He flashed in front of her.
"Don't leave," He pleaded. She looked at him.
"We can't be mates. No this can't be happening," She said fleeing from the woods with Kol on her tail.
Elena flashed through the woods until she sensed and picked up a strong sense. She seemed drawn to it and following it blankly. Elijah flashed through the woods trying to find his mate. He wasn't sure who it would be but it had him curious and drawn to them. He looked around and found himself led to the clearing. He could see Elena looking around. He raised an eyebrow and retraced his steps and his sense. He was shocked when he found that it led to her. His mate was the young doppelganger?
Caroline walked through the woods wondering where this sense that she had was coming from and why she seemed drawn to it. She proceeded to walk through the woods when she overheard some voices a mile away.
"No, this can't be happening, we can't be mates."She heard Tyler's voice.
"Tyler we found each other were drawn to one another. You knew it from the very beginning when we were in the mountains. I remembered when you kissed me. Were meant to be." Hayley said.
"But I am with Caroline…"
"Caroline? Come on Tyler we both know that I am better than her. Tyler this proves that were mates. Just break up with her already and stop denying this." Caroline couldn't believe this. After everything…she knew something had happened between them. She cursed and punched a tree knocking it down in anger. She sighed. She was never the one.
"Never knew you were so aggressive love," She turned to see him standing there smirking.
"Klaus,"
Elena turned to Elijah. She swallowed hard suddenly feeling much more drawn to him than yesterday. She took a deep breath.
"Elijah,"
"Elena," Elijah put his hands in his pockets unsure of what to do. He was shocked that Elena had ended up being his mate and he hers. He had thought it would have been one of the Salvatore brothers.
"So we are mates. And here I was thinking that it was some vampire thing." He raised an eyebrow.
"A vampire thing?"
"Yeah, I seemed to start feeling drawn to you." Elijah looked at her.
"What about your Salvatore brothers?" He asked. She shook her head.
"I had already broken up with them." She said moving over to him. "Can I try something?" She asked. He didn't say anything but nodded. Elena cupped his face and took a deep breath. She knew after this that there was no going back. Slowly very slowly she moved her face to his and kissed him. At first Elijah didn't respond but then he did. He kissed her back and Elena felt something that she had never felt with anyone else really. She felt truly complete. Like Elijah had been her missing puzzle piece and now she had him. Elijah held her close before he broke the kiss.
"Shall I take you to some place more comfortable than in the woods Miss Gilbert?" She giggled.
"You shall, Mr. Mikaelson." He scooped her up into his arms and flashed out of the woods.
Caroline stared at Klaus and rolled her eyes. She didn't want him to see her so weak. She sat down on the log.
"What are you doing here?" She asked. Klaus smirked and walked toward her. "Aren't you supposed to be finding your mate, whoever it can be has to be stupid." She said.
"Well love, I wouldn't say that. She is very smart, as well as beautiful, stong and full of light. Which led me here." She stared at him. He wasn't saying what she thought he was saying was he?
"No, that can't be." She stood trying to process that Klaus her mate and she could finally feel the drawn to him. She shook her head. "No,"
"Caroline-
"No, Klaus don't you see? You and me, it's not going to work. Besides you will just get tired of me like any other guy." She said referring to Tyler.
"He is an idiot for not seeing how beautiful you are. He doesn't deserve you that." He said. She turned away.
"Klaus, we both know that we would never work." Klaus stood in front of her.
"How do you know something won't work if you don't take a chance?" He said. "There is obviously a reason that we were brought to one another." He tilted her chin so that she would look at him. The tension was too much now and Caroline couldn't hold herself back. She grabbed his face and kissed him trying to show all of her feelings for him, how she was afraid of getting hurt by him emotionally. Klaus grasped her face bringing her closer to him. She moaned and it was enough to send Klaus lose his control and flash them against a tree trunk. She could feel the tree move slightly when there force crashed into it. Klaus wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him as she ran her fingers through his hair. A part of her was telling her to stop but she found that she couldn't. She had always found some connection with him and she was finally admitting it.
Klaus, Caroline, Matt, and Rebekah emerged from the forest after finding there mates. Caroline could hear movement and a series of moans not coming to far from them.
"Bonnie?" Bonnie gasped and shoved Kol off her grabbing his shirt to cover herself. She was blushing while Kol smirked. They glanced to the half naked couple before Matt spoke.
"I think we all saw this coming," He said taking Rebekah's hand and leading her out of the woods and to his truck. Bonnie swallowed but watched as Caroline took Klaus's hand and led him out of the woods laughing.
"Darling, I would very much like to continued where we had left off." Kol said kissing her neck she turned to glare at him.
"Hell, no!" She said gathering her things. "As long as your house." She smirked and Kol's eyes darkened with lust before flashing to her and lifting her in his arms flashing her to his house. Everyone seemed to find there mate, except that Damon may have found his but he was still focused on finding Elena.
Note: So there you go? Tell me how I did. I tried to incorporate everyone really in the story. Not having truly anyone really a main couple. Review thanks.
