A week had passed and nothing had happened yet. Klaus had confessed to killing his mother and locking her body away in the coffin that Bonnie had opened and while his siblings were angry with what he did, they ultimately understood why he had done it.
So far they had not heard anything from Esther or Erik and life was relatively peaceful.
But today Luna was on a mission. A mission to end her friends suffering and make her happy again.
The blonde vampire stormed into the study where the only other current occupier was. She entered the study where Elijah was sitting reading a book.
The noble original looked up at the blonde, a questioning look on his face as she stared at him.
"When are you going to come to your senses and talk to Grace?" Luna asked bluntly. The original looked up from his book but Luna did not give him a chance to speak. "And don't give me any of that 'she betrayed us' bullshit, she told you what happened, you just didn't believe her."
Elijah simply sighed in return, thinking about what he knew. Five centuries ago he was blinded by his loyalty to his brother that he didn't even give her a second thought when she told him what happened. It was something he deeply regrets now.
The noble original stood up, not giving himself a chance to second guess himself, and headed down to the front door. Luna smirked, satisfied with what she had done as Elijah left the house. She knew that Elijah simply needed that small nudge for him to come to his senses.
Over at Grace's house, the brunette was sitting in the living room with a glass of wine. Ever since the message from Erik had been delivered to her she had not been able to have a peaceful night. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen.
She was lost in her thoughts when a knock at the door snapped her back to reality. She furrowed her eyebrows, not having been expecting anyone. Cautiously, she rose from her chair and went to answer the door. She froze when she opened it to reveal the suited noble original at her doorstep.
"Elijah," Grace mumbled, taking a deep breath as she stared at her ex lover.
"Grace," he replied softly. "May I come in?"
Grace squinted her eyes at him, unsure if she should let him in. "Depends," she said. "Are you here to kill me?"
Elijah let out a small smile at her blunt tone before shaking his head. In return Grace cautiously nodded and moved away from the door. "Then come in," she said, allowing the original into the house.
It didn't take them long to start talking through their problems. They discussed everything that happened and it hadn't taken long before the two had fallen into bed together and were making up for the last five centuries.
After spending who knows how long making up, Grace fell back on her pillow, sweating and breathless. She wore a smile on her face as she looked over at Elijah who was beside her.
The original smiled, rolling onto his side and cupping Grace's face in his hand. He gently moved his thumb across her cheek, looking at her lovingly, as Grace leaned into his touch. Leaning down he kissed her softly making roll over some to face him.
"We're going to have to get up soon," Grace muttered, not really wanting to leave her bed yet. "It's almost two in the afternoon, we've been here for hours now."
"I suppose we should get out of bed," Elijah agreed yet neither made a move to get up, they just laid in the bed until Grace's phone alerted her to a text message.
Grace groaned before rolling over to pick up her phone. As she was reading the text Elijah had moved so he was behind her and was planting kisses over her shoulder and up to her neck.
"It's Luna," Grace said, putting her phone down and closing her eyes. "She said that she's spoken to the others and Rebekah is now demanding to see me."
"My sister can wait," Elijah replied as Grace rolled onto her back, looking him in the eyes. He leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips which Grace gladly accepted.
"If we don't go soon, she'll come looking for us," Grace said and Elijah groaned in disappointment, both of them knowing what Rebekah was like.
Grace smiled at his disappointment before she pushed herself out of the bed, leaving the blanket behind to reveal her naked body. She slowly headed towards the bathroom, only stopping at the door to look back and see Elijah staring at her from the bed.
"But I'm sure we have time to have a shower," she said with a knowing look on her face. Elijah smiled and sprung out of the bed and quickly followed Grace into the bathroom.
