I turned to my side in my bed and pulled the comforter closer to my body, enjoying the warmth. I left the boarding house last night after the "quality" time, as Damon puts it, I came back home. One because Damon was drunk and I didn't feel like dealing with that the entire night, and two the house smelled like Andie's blood.
But for once I was able to sleep in on a Saturday without Damon waking me up early and wanting me to be involved in one of his plans.
"Rise and shine, sleeping beauty!" I spoke too soon…
I opened one eye to see Damon near the side of my bed with a smirk on his face. I looked at my clock and it read 7:00 AM, I let out a groan and closed my eye.
"Too early, three more hours." I muttered tiredly.
"Nope come on, you're gonna be my date to the Lockwood's historical society tea party." He opened the curtains letting the sunlight pour in. I let out a loud groan and grabbed my pillow, shoving it on top of my face to block out the light.
"Why are you going? You weren't even invited." I stated with my voice slightly muffled by the pillow on my face.
"No, but a little birdie told me that you were." Damon stated matter of fact as he ripped the pillow off from my face.
"Tough luck, I already said no to Carol." I grumbled out as I turned away from Damon. I pulled the comforter closer to me, only to have it jerked away. The cool morning air hit my skin, causing goose bumps to form.
"Oh come on, please for me?" I rolled my eyes at Damon's pouting.
"Why do you want to go? You can't stand boring events like that." I asked wanting to know his alterity motive.
"Because Elijah is going to be there and I want to find out why he's really here before I kill him." Damon stated bluntly.
"Should have known. Let me guess you want me to be there so it will make it look like you have a reason to be there?" I said, sitting up and rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
"You know me so well. Now come on and get dressed." He patted my knee as he said this which made me sigh.
"Stop by Starbucks?"
"Yep."
"Deal." That was all I needed to hear to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom to get ready.
I walked into the Lockwood mansion with my hot white chocolate mocha in hand. I saw Damon was already stopped by Jenna, who was confused what he was doing here.
"Damon, what are you doing here?" Jenna asked. I took that as my cue to walk up to them.
"Hey Jenna." I greeted smiling.
"I thought you said you weren't coming? What changed your mind?" Damon opened his mouth with a smirk to say something, but I stopped him.
"Bribery." I announced and held up my coffee to her.
"Well I'm going to go introduce myself to Elijah, you two have fun." Damon kissed my cheek before walking over to where Carol and Elijah stood.
"I still don't know what you see in him." Jenna exclaimed with a sigh.
"I could say the same thing with you and Ric." I retorted with a grin.
"Touché." Jenna nodded her head in agreement.
"Hey Jenna, Allye," I narrowed my eyes at Andie who walked over to us, "Allye can I have a word with you?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
"Huh, sure…I guess." I shrugged and Andie pulled me off to the side.
"I don't know why I'm saying this, but I got this urge to tell you this when I saw you again. I'm not going after Damon anymore, I can tell you two love each other a lot and I should leave it be." She said it so robotically. Then it clicked. Damon compelled Andie.
"Thanks Andie and don't worry too much…you'll find that special someone someday." With that I walked away but I didn't get too far before I got pulled aside. I turned around to see it was Alaric who grabbed me.
"Hey you might want to go find Damon, something happened." Alaric said seriously as well as concerned.
"Alright, thanks Ric." He nodded and I left to go find Damon. I found him in the mayor's office and my eyes widen seeing his condition.
"What did you do?" I asked closing the door behind me.
"Tried to get information out of Elijah and he stabbed me with a pencil." Damon replied, pressing the handkerchief to his bleeding neck.
"Let me see." I said, walking over to Damon. He pulled the handkerchief away to let me inspect his neck.
"It's healing but slowly. I'm guessing this is normal when it comes to wood?" I guessed, grabbing the handkerchief from him and started to clean up the blood.
"If by normal you mean extremely painful, then yes." Damon stated sarcastically.
"By the way, where's Elena? I haven't seen her since last night." I asked changing the subject.
"Out on a romantic getaway with Stefan." Damon replied bitterly. Guess a pencil being stabbed into your throat would do that to ya.
"Okay, why don't you clean yourself up? I now have to explain to Carol why I'm leaving early." I said standing up and let out a sigh.
"Send in Alaric while you're at it." Damon informed.
I nodded and left the room. As I passed Alaric I nudged my head towards Damon's direction. Alaric nodded and headed towards the office.
I scanned the area for Carol but couldn't find her anywhere. I spotted Jenna and made my way over to her.
"Hey Jenna, you've seen Carol?" I asked.
"Huh I think she just went outside." Jenna said with an unsure look.
"Thanks," I turned around and headed for the double doors that led outside.
I stepped out onto the patio and sighed out of frustration. Why is it when I don't want to talk to her it's like the woman's stalking me yet when I'm trying to find her she disappears off the face of the earth?
I went to head back inside when the scent of Vampire lingered in the air. Not just any Vampire though…an Original Vampire scent.
"You know Werewolves have a better sense of smell than Vampires. I can tell the difference between yours and Damon's scent, Elijah." I called out and turned around.
Seconds later Elijah made himself known by stepping out from behind a column.
"Allye Hale, correct?" Elijah asked politely from where he stood.
"That would be me and you're Elijah. An Original Vampire." I stated and watched Elijah carefully.
"Yes and you are a Werewolf. One that I have never seen if I may add. You can shift willingly without the aid of the full moon and I'd like to know why." Elijah said interested.
"My species of Werewolf was created thanks to magic trying to cure one. Needless to say it didn't work it just made a Werewolf with a half human side allowing us to have further control of our powers. Thanks to Vampires the original species of Werewolves were almost wiped out but my species adapted, you could say survival of the fittest in other words." I informed.
"What exactly were these survival skills?" Elijah asked as he slowly took a step forward. He stopped when he notice me tense.
I narrowed my eyes at him, "You think I'd tell you? Sure you gave Elena your word not to hurt anyone she cared about but if there's one thing I learned about Vampires it's that they can't be trusted. How do I know after all this you won't use that information to kill me and other Werewolves like me?" I demanded.
"I give you my word that I won't harm you nor your fellow species of Werewolves." I let out scoff.
"The last time someone gave me their word they tried to kill me along with my pack. Now you see my pack is my family and the last person that went after my family wound up dead." My eyes glowed crimson red as I glared at Elijah.
"And right now I'll give you my word that if you try to hurt my pack, my family I WILL find a way to kill an Original permanently." I growled out. With that I turned around and stormed off without looking back.
I just threaten an Original and it felt…good actually. Honestly, I wasn't scared of them like the rest of the Vampires. In fact, I felt ready to face them head on.
"So how is he?" I asked into the phone as I walked through the dark forest.
I was still on edge so I decided to take a walk to clear my mind.
"He's sore and I wish you'd get here sooner, he's in a grouchy mood." Alaric whispered the last part.
"I am not!" I heard Damon's voice say in the background.
I let out a chuckle, "I'm heading your way but I'm just taking the scenic route." I responded.
"Alright, see you soon then Allye." Alaric said and hung up.
I put my phone in my pocket and I stopped when I heard a twig snap. I looked behind me with my senses on high alert. That's when I felt a piercing, burning pain hit my calf.
I let out wail of pain as I crumbled to the forest floor. With gritted teeth I looked to see what hit me. I saw an arrow lodged into my calf and most likely the arrow head is coated in Wolfsbane. I went to pull it out but another arrow lodged into my shoulder causing me to lie flat on the ground. I was breathing heavily now from the pain and feeling arrow tip coated Wolfsbane burning inside my wound.
"So this is the all mighty Allye Hale, Jules told us about. I'll admit you're pretty strong, most Werewolves can't move when there's Wolfsbane in their bodies but you could. It took two arrows coated in Wolfsbane to bring you down." I glared at the Werewolf coming towards me with a crossbow in his hands.
Four other Werewolves came out of hiding and all of them started to surround me.
"Now," The Werewolf with the crossbow leaned down next to me, "Jules wants to know about the moonstone and she thinks either you, your Vampire boyfriend, or your doppelganger friend has it. If you tell me what I want to hear then we'll leave but if you don't well…" He trailed off and I screamed in pain as another arrow lodged itself into the flesh of my right side.
"We understand each other?" He asked with a malicious smirk on his face.
"Agh!" The Werewolf suddenly looked up and I turned my head to notice one of his guys was missing.
Something plopped on the ground and the other Werewolves stared at the object.
"What the hell is that?" The Werewolf with the crossbow asked.
"It's…a heart." One of the Werewolves responded.
In a blink of an eye the rest of the Werewolves fell to the ground dead. My eyes widen seeing Elijah standing there with three hearts in his hands.
"I'd be careful if I were you buddy. One step and she dies with a Wolfsbane arrow to the heart." The last standing Werewolf warned and pointed the crossbow at my chest.
"You're making a very huge mistake by pointing that at Miss Hale's heart. Seeing as you have already shot her, you have already angered me." Elijah said calmly as he dropped the three hearts on the ground.
Elijah blurred away in Vampire speed and the next moment the Werewolf is up against a tree with one of his arrows lodged into his chest.
I gritted my teeth as I gripped the arrow in my shoulder and yanked it out. As soon as I pulled that arrow out Elijah appeared at my side.
"Allow me." Elijah stated kneeling down. I watched him warily but I nodded giving him the go ahead.
I grunted in pain as Elijah quickly removed both arrows in my side and calf. I sat up and threw the arrow in my hand across from me.
"I really hate those arrows." I commented as I started to get up. Elijah grabbed me under my arm and lifted me up on my feet.
"Why did you help? Vampires and Werewolves don't exactly get along." I asked studying Elijah.
"I'm keeping my word to Elena and yours as well." I gave him a look.
"I thought you were joking about mine." I stated.
"I don't joke when it comes to that and I doubt you were joking about yours." Oh right…that.
"You're loyal to your family and you will protect them. That is something I admire." Elijah stated truthfully.
"Huh thanks I guess. Well if you excuse me I gotta save Damon from a couple of Werewolves."I informed and walked past him.
"Actually," I stopped and turned back to Elijah, "I was heading there myself. Would you like an escort?" Wow this guys' polite.
"Seeing as you can get us there faster, sure." Elijah let out a smile and held his hand out for me to take.
"I suggest you hold your breath." Elijah advised as I took his hand.
I did as told and held my breath and closed my eyes while I was at it. I felt wind rush past me and before I knew it we stopped. I opened my eyes and let out my breath and I saw we were in the boarding house.
I could hear Jules talking in the room next to us. I went to go investigate but Elijah gently grabbed my arm. He put his finger over his lips telling me to be quiet. I crossed my arms pouting but complied. A small amused smile made its way onto his face but it disappeared when Jules spoke again.
"Where's the moonstone?" Jules asked.
"Get over it, honey. You're never going to get it." Elijah took that as his cue to walk out.
"You looking for this?" Elijah leaned against the banister of the room and twirled the moonstone in his hand.
Elijah walked out of my line of sight when he walked down the steps so I relied on my hearing. I heard the sound of the moonstone being set down and Elijah's footsteps. My guess he probably set it down then backed away, most likely a challenge to take it.
"Go ahead. Take it." I heard the sound of a rushing Werewolf then the familiar sound of Elijah ripping his heart out of his chest. That seems to be his ideal way of killing apparently.
I heard two more Werewolves rush towards the stone but Elijah killed both. I heard another Werewolf run and I felt wind rush past me. Jules scent disappeared meaning she ran away. I smelled one last wolf in there and I heard Elijah's footsteps.
"What about you, sweetheart, hm? You want to take a shot? Yes? No? Yes? Where's the girl?" I heard Elijah ask. I guess he was referring to Jules.
"I don't know." I heard Damon reply.
"It doesn't really matter." I heard the sound of someone being punched and bones breaking. I heard a thud signaling the last wolf was dead.
The sound of ripping metal chains filled the air, "So you realize this is the third time I've saved your life now?" Elijah commented.
Damon kept quiet and I heard Elijah walking back to where I was. I looked at Elijah as he came back in my line of sight. I mouthed thank you to him. He gave me a nod of the head and walked out of the boarding house.
As soon as he left I quickly walked into the room to see Damon taking some type of collar with wooden spikes attached to it.
"Oh god, Damon are you okay?" I asked urgently and rushed over to him.
"I've been better. Mind helping me up?" Damon grunted in pain as he threw the collar off.
I carefully put his arm over my shoulder and pulled him up. That's when he noticed my clothes had holes in it and covered in my blood.
"What happened?" He asked full of concern. He removed his arm from my shoulder to get a good look at me.
"Jules' pack ambushed me in the forest with Wolfsbane coated arrows. They wanted to know if I had the moonstone. I have a feeling I wouldn't be standing here right now if Elijah didn't step in." I informed.
"He saved you too? Damn I really don't want to owe this guy anything." I rolled my eyes at that.
I turned my attention to Alaric lying on the floor. "He's wearing his ring right?" I asked pointing down at him.
"Yeah, he should wake up soon." Damon assured and started to move furniture back.
"Well I guess I'll start getting rid of the blood stains. Bleach is under the kitchen sink right?" I asked as I walked towards the sink.
Damon nodded his head as his phone started to ring, "Hey witchy, what'd you find out?" I shook my head hearing Damon's nickname for Bonnie.
I grabbed the bleach, gloves, and a brush from under the sink and walked back to the living room. When I entered the room Damon was standing still listening to Bonnie and I could hear her on the other end but I paid no attention.
"So he planned to kill her all along." I stopped putting the gloves on and decided to listen in on the conversation.
"Yeah, the sacrifice is part of Elijah's plan." Bonnie informed.
"Got it loud and clear." With that Damon hung up and Alaric suddenly gasped.
"Finally, you missed all the fun." Damon said sarcastically as he grabbed the chains and walked away.
I let out a sigh and took the gloves off while Alaric surveyed the damage.
"Whoa, what'd I miss?" He asked looking at me.
"Let's see Werewolves torturing Damon then being saved by Elijah…again so same old, same old." I informed and walked out of the living room to follow Damon.
"Damon?" I called out.
"In the cellar!" I heard him holler back.
I made my way done to the cellar to see him throwing the chains in a corner.
"You mind telling me what that call from Bonnie was about?" I asked and put my hands on my hip.
"Remember when our dear friend Elijah told us he would protect Elena." I nodded my head.
"Well, he lied to us. Apparently Klaus will get weak after the sacrifice but…" Damon trailed off.
"After, meaning Elena will already be dead. So basically Elijah wants to sacrifice Elena just to kill Klaus when he's weakened." I summed up.
"Pretty much." I felt my blood begin to boil from my anger.
"I told him." I muttered out shaking my head.
"Told who?" Damon asked curiously.
"Elijah, it was after he stabbed you with the pencil and I left. He met me at the garden and he wanted to know more about my species of Werewolf. I found it suspicious so I didn't say anything then he gave me his word he wouldn't hurt me or my fellow Werewolves. I thought he was joking so I gave him my word that if he tried to hurt my pack then I'd find a way to kill him. Guess who just threaten a member of my pack and is now at the top of my hit list." I stated and a smirk grew on Damon's face.
"It looks like noble Elijah isn't exactly noble anymore and did I ever mention how hot you are when you're angry?" Damon asked walking closer to me.
I thought about it for a minute, "You've implied it." I informed as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me towards him.
"Well then I'll say it. You are hot when you're angry." I couldn't help but let out a chuckle and Damon gave me a chaste kiss on the lips.
I was the first to break apart, "I better head home. I've had a long rough day." I informed.
"I'll see you tomorrow then." Damon kissed my forehead then let me go.
I went back upstairs and said bye to Alaric as I passed. He was on the phone so he just smiled and waved. I walked out the door and made my way towards my car. I unlocked it and got in but I didn't start it. I just sat there and started to think.
The Werewolf problem in Mystic Falls is officially over and that's originally what I was only staying for. I would be heading back to Beacon Hills now to see my brother and my pack but problem is…I really didn't want to leave.
That's it for this chapter. Elijah and Allye finally formally meet and exchanged their words. Too bad Elijah already broke his and Allye wants to take him out. Even if it means Elijah had saved Allye and Damon's life. Stay tune for the next chapter. Until next time, see ya! :D
