Chapter 34: A Chance
I groaned slowly opening my eyes, I loved this bed. I stretched pressing myself further into my bed, my arms curling around the pillows as I sighed. How Elijah always found the softest beds was beyond me, not to mention he had an amazing taste when it came to decorating. Simple, clean cut and gorgeous. Opening my eyes Elijah had been in here. He had pulled the curtains back allowing light into the rooms and a beautiful view of large snow capped mountains.
I slipped out of bed slowly grabbing a robe I slipped it on and tied it close leaving the room I could smell a delicious breakfast cooking. "That smells amazing, and here I forgot just how well you can cook" I teased him smiling at seeing Elijah completely relaxed, his pajama pants hanging off his hips and a wife beater hugging his defined muscles. His hair was messy and relaxed as he cooked my favorite omelet. "And how can I forget just how picky you are with your food?" He taunted me, I couldn't help but grin. "What can I say, I'm used to getting pampered" I teased back and he chuckled.
Every time Elijah and I lived together I was doted on, I was quite used to fluffy blankets, sinkable beds and couches and breakfast in bed. Elijah spared no expense when it came to that. I grabbed a plate as he turned around and placed the omelet on it, grabbing a fork I sat on a bar stool eating my breakfast. "You're in a good mood this morning" he commented and I smiled. "Surprisingly yes I am" I told him with a mischevious grin, "and here I thought you would be more upset after yesterday" Elijah commented and I frowned, "thanks Elijah I was trying to avoid thinking about it" I snapped at him angrily and he tilted his head to the side putting another omelet on my empty plate.
"Eat up, you're eating for two now" he said pouring me a rather large glass of fresh blood. I sipped at it slowly. I rested my elbow on the table, my hand supporting my neck as I swished the blood in the glass in slow circles. "I still can't believe he just took off" I whispered softly fresh tears filling my eyes. Elijah sighed, "do not think about it Sophie, put Niklaus far from your mind." He advised I raised an eyebrow sitting up straight. "Well that's a change of tune" I commented and he raised an eyebrow at me. "What do you mean?" He questioned, "before you couldn't be happier for Nik and I being together and how much you encouraged me to tell him about the baby and…." I paused at seeing the look in his brown eyes.
"You knew Nik would react like that didn't you?" I questioned softly, "how could I have known that?" Elijah questioned waving off my questioned as he poured himself a drink. "Answer the question Elijah, you knew he would be speechless and you knew it would hurt my feelings" I accused standing up from the bar stool immediately, my eyebrows narrowed at him. He sighed, "yes I knew how Niklaus would react and yes I know that he is not ready to be a father. That child is fast growing in your belly, there is no telling when you will give birth. Do you really intend to give birth in his home with your brothers trying to kill him? With him trying to kill your brothers?" Elijah demanded from me. "He is not ready to be a father Sophie and you know it" he said flatly.
I just stared at him.
This wasn't the Elijah that I knew. This wasn't the man that forced me to face my humanity, to stop the massacre. "Niklaus didn't leave me back at the mansion did he?" I questioned him, Elijah didn't answer me. "Answer me Elijah!" I screamed at him, he looked up at me. "No he didn't" Elijah told me and I glared at him, I felt so stupid. "I thought I could trust you Elijah" I said softly and he just watched me. "I thought you were a better man, someone to aspire to." I told him confessing how I felt about him for all these years. "At least with Niklaus I know what kind of a man he is and Elijah I wish I could say the same for you" I said softly feeling a tear roll down my cheek before I stubbornly wiped it away.
He stood up straighter at my confession before I turned to leave the room. I had to go back to Niklaus, to tell him what happened. That I didn't know, that I thought….God I was such an idiot! Changing into a loose t-shirt and jean shorts I pulled knee high length boots on before running my fingers through my hair to straighten it before leaving my room. "And you just plan to walk out?" Elijah questioned me as I stood in the hallway. "Do you really expect me to stay?" I questioned him back, he adverted his eyes glancing at the ground before looking back up at me. His eyes hardened as he quickly approached me, his hands holding the sides of my face as I watched his eyes dilate.
"You will stay with me" he said, "you will stay, you will give birth in MY home and you will be happy about it and stop loving Niklaus this instant" he said before leaning in pressing his lips firmly against mine, I froze. Completely shocked that he would try to compel me again and that he was kissing me! Elijah was kissing me! What the hell? I reached behind me feeling the banister to the stairs as he pulled away his eyes meeting mine again as he tried to compel me again. "You will forever stay by my side" Elijah emphasized is this what he had always wanted from me? Why he had put up with me through all these years? Because he wanted a mate? Because he wanted me to stay with him as a docile little hybrid, would he still have compelled me a second time, back in the mansion when Niklaus had revealed that Elijah had once compelled me, if I had freely chosen to be with Niklaus? How could I have known his feelings all these years when he had never made them clear? How could I have known that he cared for me like this? "Stay with me, forever" Elijah repeated softer this time as he caressed my hair. It doesn't matter anymore, all those years ago, the feelings I had for Elijah as a friend, protector, mentor they were gone. Forever I refuse to stay here and be his little slave girl. My eyes narrowed as I quickly attacked punching him hard across the face before kicking him back against the wall. His back slammed hard against it as I launched forwards shoving the make shift stake deep into his heart. "Goodbye Elijah" I snarled as his eyes widened, skin quickly turning gray as he head fell forwards and his eyes closed. "You do not own me" I kicked him hard right between the legs huffing at my work before turning around and leaving the house.
Too bad…..it was a pretty house.
First place I sprinted to was the mansion. The front door banged against the wall in my hurry as I ran to the living room first. He was probably there. "Niklaus!" I shouted turning the corner only to freeze at seeing Damon and Tyler holding Niklaus at bay, Stefan in front of him, his hand buried deep in his chest next to his heart. Nik's skin slowly started to turn gray as his eyes moved to mine. Tears built in them as I gasped in horror. Reacting I grabbed Stefan pulling him hard off Nik before throwing Damon and Tyler off him. Catching him halfway as he fell to the floor. Sitting next to him, his head fell in my lap. "Nik….no Nik please" I begged feeling his chest there was no wound besides where Stefan's fingers were. His back was also not injured. No stake wound? How did this happen then. I cradled Nik's lifeless head as I looked up at them accusingly. "What did you do to him?" I snarled angrily at them.
"Sophie…you're back" was all Stefan could say while Damon crouched protectively in front of Elena. "He was going to drain and kill Elena, we did what we had to!" Damon shouted at me, I looked over at him, my fangs ripping out. This was all her fault. Rage ripped through me as I attacked, Damon caught me trying to roll me over and away from Elena but I attacked snapping his neck effectively as he dropped to the ground. Stefan attacked next, I grabbed the chair breaking the legs using a piece I shoved it hard through his neck pinning him to the ground. He gasped clutching the stake as blood poured out, choking him. Tyler moved protectively in front of Elena. "Don't do this Sophie, please. I still consider you a friend. Don't do this" Tyler said holding his hands up defensively. I snarled at him. "I don't care anymore" I growled grabbing him and throwing him hard across the room sending him through two walls and into the front yard as I turned to Elena.
Her eyes wide, fear ripping through her. I snarled viscously at her with a hate I didn't know that I could ever possess. This was all her fault. They had done all this because of her, "Sophie….please….please don't" she begged, "you're really going to beg me for your life? You pathetic helpless little bitch" I snarled grabbing her by her arm snapping the bone under my fingers. She screamed out in pain. "I hate you" I snarled grabbing a handful of her muddy brown hair pulling her neck back causing the muscles in her neck to rip at the sheer force. She screamed out again as I bit hard into her neck. She whimpered, I pulled back after more than my fill dragging her over to Klaus and shoving her neck over his slightly open mouth.
Her blood poured over his full gray lips. I looked up at hearing footsteps. It was Jonathon, one of Nik's hybrids. "Sophie, Niklaus…what's happened?" He questioned, "it's nothing of importance. I'm taking care of it. Call the other hybrids. I want them all here now" I snarled at him, he nodded his head quickly pulling his phone out as I looked at my two brothers. They'd pay for this. I looked down at Elena's helpless brown eyes as she cried begging me to stop. I smirked at seeing Nik's hand twitch before he grasped Elena's neck, fangs ripping out of his gums and he sank them into Elena's neck completely draining her before letting her collapse to the ground.
His gray blue eyes watching me, "Sophie….you came back" he said softly. I reached out running my fingers through the curls of his hair right above his ear. His eyes closed briefly at the sensation before they met mine again. "I love you" I told him softly, "and I want to make this family work" I told him, he reached out grabbing the back of my neck pressing our lips together as our tongues battled for dominance, Elena's blood still on our lips and I had to admit doppelganger blood did taste pretty good.
We pulled back for air as he looked around seeing the gasping Stefan, I reached over pulling the stake out grabbing Stefan by his jaw lifting him off the ground, crushing it as I did. "Take them and get out before that bitches blood stains my carpet" I snarled throwing Stefan on the ground next to Damon and Elena's dead body. He just watched me not sure of what to say or do. "I'd listen to her if I were you mate, after all a pregnant woman's hormones are legendary" Nik taunted, Stefan grabbed the pair before bolting as Jonathon walked in with the rest of Nik's pack.
"Has Alaric been put down yet?" I questioned him, "his life was tied to Elena's, since you so effectively snuffed hers out it's over" he said. "And the stake?" I questioned him, "right here" he said producing it for me to see. "Good, let's destroy it" I told him picking up the full bags of Elena's blood. Nik watched me warily as I turned to him and held them out to him. "Create as many hybrids as you want" I told him, "I'm sick and tired of them coming after us" I snarled at him, his eyebrows furrowed for a minute before he slowly approached me.
"I refuse to live in fear that my brothers will one day find a way to kill my child, or his father" I said softly holding his cheek. He turned his head into the attention. He gripped my wrist kissing it softly. "I love you" he whispered softly. "I love you too" I said softly, "now what have you summoned my hybrids for?" Niklaus questioned me and I smirked. "For a meeting, I say it's about time this vampire council was put to rest thought Caroline's mother will not be harmed. But a deal, if they step out of line and attack one of us hybrids in the slightest way this entire town will burn" I snarled, Nik's eyes were alight with a fire I hadn't seen in quite some time.
"There's my girl" his deep voice rumbled, his fingers running over my neck as his lips met mine. "I have something to show you" he groaned pulling out of the kiss, resting his forehead against mine. "I'm sure it can wait" I bit at his earlobe. "Then I still have to take care of this council" he told me and I pouted, he smirked. "I'm going to get that lip" he growled nipping my bottom lip. A smile immediately broke out on my lips. "You have ten minutes while I go slip into something more…comfortable" I rolled the word on my tongue and Nik growled at hearing it. His hand quickly reached down and around grasping my bottom firmly. "Then hurry up love" he smacked my bottom as I giggled quickly jogging up the stairs past Jonathon and the other hybrids, "oh" I paused turning to look at them. "I don't care how many of you it takes. Clean up that mess" I told them, they nodded and quickly went to the task. I smirked, I had forgotten how good it felt having a bunch of hybrids listen to you immediately.
Turning back around I sprinted up to our room deciding to quickly take a bath, wrapping a towel around me I dried my hair first, deciding to make the natural curls come out more, adding a little eye fuck me make up and a little lip gloss I went to my dresser to find the perfect lingerie that would leave Nik begging for it. I furrowed my eyebrows at finding nothing suitable I slammed the drawer frustrated. "Now love don't take your sexual frustrations out on the furniture" Nik purred closing the door behind him. "After all why take it on the furniture when you can take it on me?" He teased approaching me slowly and I frowned, "I have nothing to wear" I mumbled, he paused tilting his head to the side. "What's the point of wearing anything love when I'm only going to take it off you again?" He teased and I frowned, "because…." I started but he interrupted. "You do not need sexy clothes love, you do it all on your own" he said matter of fact holding my chin so I would look at him as I spoke. "Do you mean that?" I questioned him feeling extremely self conscious. He pulled me tightly against him where I could feel his hard groin against my stomach. An impish grin crossed my face and he smiled. "See love you do that all on your own" he told me, I looked up at him leaning on the tips of my toes and kissing him. He held the back of my neck kissing me back pinning me back against my dresser. I held his neck my other hand moving to his soft shirt, I ran my hand over the soft fabric before slipping my hand underneath feeling the hardened muscles and groaned in satisfaction.
No matter how many times I had him. I always had to have more. Another taste, another lick or bite. He was consuming. Feeling his hard abs, strong pectorals I crossed to his back digging my hands into his thigh twitching shoulder blades. Hurriedly I pulled his shirt off as he tossed my towel aside before picking me up, my thighs automatically wrapping around his hips, ankles crossing at the small of his back, the tip of my tongue running over his as he gripped my thighs before tossing me backwards on the bed. I bounced on it slightly before settling back, my head resting on the pillows as I watched him a grin on my face as I giggled at seeing his iris darkening with lust as he looked at me.
He slowly unbuckled his belt as he watched me. I groaned pressing my feet down into the mattress and rubbing my thighs together in need of friction as he jeans and boxers were pushed off his hips, my tongue curled as he exposed himself to me, biting my lip with excitement as he leaned forwards and slowly crawled towards me on the bed stopping at my ankles as he trailed kisses up each let, ghosting over my hips and across my lower stomach before he trailed his lips over the slight swell that had developed there. I groaned as he kissed the area reverently his body hovering over mine, the only contact between us were those adorable full lips that were currently driving me insane as he trailed them up the valley between my breasts. "Niklaus you're a tease" I groaned reaching out to touch him, gripping his shoulders, nails scratching down his back. My legs separating and hooking over his hips pulling him closer. "Always so eager love" he teased arching his upper back as he pushed into me and I groaned, letting out a moan of ecstasy as my head fell back in the pillows.
"You try having this raging hormones all the time and sharing a bed with a very sexy hybrid and see what happens" I groaned rolling my hips and a moan escaped him at the friction. He slowly started to pull out and I couldn't help but whine, he chuckled pressing his lips against mine. "We have eternity love" he moaned slowly pushing back in. I groaned pushing back against him trying to set my own thrusting rhythm. He quickly moved and I gasped being repositioned and reentered from behind. His chest pressed against my back, arm circling my hips to keep me in place as his other hand held my thigh draping it backwards over his thighs as he thrusted a bit harder as he growled in my ear making it a point. I growled in frustration reaching back digging my fingers into his curls.
His lips quickly found my throat running his blunt teeth over it, lips and tongue attacking the sensitive flesh as his thrusting quickened. "Nik" I groaned tightening my leg around him. I wanted my legs hooked over his waist. I twisted around rolling him onto his back thrusting back onto him, fingers contracting over his abs. Bending over I found the dip between his collar bones. He groaned as I thrashed my tongue against his smooth skin before trailing open mouth kisses down his ribcage, slowly rolling my hips over him. His fingers digging into my hips as he pulled them higher, bringing them down sharper. "Niklaus" I moaned looking up and meeting his eyes. His had turned a dark, dark blue. Sitting up quickly his arms circled me, hands holding the back of my head pushing our lips together with bruising force as his hips bucked harder upwards, gripping his shoulders I pushed down over and over again with as much strength as I could muster before he rolled us over pinning me down into the mattress, his hands grabbing my knees pulling my legs up higher to hook over his shoulders. His hand buried into the mattress on either side of me keeping my body tightly wound as his hips lost control.
I dug my fingers into his hair moaning into his mouth as my body snapped underneath him. Screaming out his name I lost all sense of what was around us, I could feel was his sweat covered body thrusting into me, his fangs coming out as his own body shook, his forehead resting against mine as sweat slowly started to form a small droplet on the tip of his nose. I reached out licking it away. His eyes snapped open meeting mine as I grinned up at him like a Cheshire cat.
He grinned back leaning forwards kissing me softly, lovingly. I reached up digging my fingers into his thick gorgeous hair. "I love you" He whispered softly, "I love you too" I whispered back immediately as he rolled to his side pulling me tightly against his chest, letting my legs slide down so I could hook one over his leg as he pulled a blanket over us. His arm tightly wound around my back keeping me tight against him.
This was perfect.
