Okay here we go with another revenge story! I hope you enjoy! This one shot was inspired by Marina and The Diamonds song 'Shampain'.-JasZ


Elijah has yet to reach out to his brothers. He's been on the road Kol is now treading. He took the life of Tatia. A truth he hides from his siblings. The shame and guilt that flutters in his heart; yet he still pins most of the blame on his mother. A fault she didn't commit directly. The pain he suffered due to the loss of his beloved and than their parents going after them...

He had done, what he assumed his mother had done to him; he caused his brother to live a nightmare he once had. Sure all of Elijah's relationships have failed mostly due to them dying either by his hand or Klaus or some other force. How is it that he became what he despised the most? Killed the girl his brother claimed to love… In the back of his mind he hopes Kol will get over it and aid them in their current troubles. But he knows Kol will never be the same. Never to have peace … Kol will never see Davina's face again. Not like Elijah saw Tatia in Katharine and Elena. Never hear her voice easing his urge to spill blood; an urge Elijah never had but Kol does.

He doesn't regret it… Elijah did what he had to do to protect his family. Family is above all things. No matter what they do or the current dilemma is. His family will always be first and he'll make sure it'll always be so.


Standing from the bed, he now shares with Hayley. He can hear her in the adjoined space where his niece sleeps. He enters Hope's room to see Hayley's back to him. Hears her humming as she cradles Hope in her arms.

Elijah feels a pang in his heart. He knows Hayley is upset with the last events and has attempted to reach out to his brothers time and time again. Klaus is somewhat civil while Kol just blows her off and goes to terrorize the city. He can see it in her eyes that she blames him but he'd do it all over again to have her in his arms and his family safe. Sure Freya is suffering from the night terrors that have intensified. Along with anyone having psychical contact with her, the burn marks and slashes have began to spread and dig deeper onto her flesh.

He doesn't understand what is happening to his older sister. Her magical abilities seem to dwindle to nothing. And Kol… Kol refuses to share any knowledge he may know of. Klaus doesn't seem to press on the matter on it. Seeing that Kol is still mourning the witch.

"Elijah," Hayley turns to him a smile on her full lips. The baby girl in her arms seems to eye him, as if knowing what he had done.

"Hayley," He offers a smile.

"Do you think Freya will be alright? Maybe Hope's blood-"

"I wouldn't attempt it." Elijah sighs. He can hear Kol in the study, the swooshing of liquid with its container tells him that he's once again drinking. "Kol knows something and he's not saying what."

"He just lost the love of his life, Elijah. Someone we helped destroy."

"It was to save our family."

"She may not have been part of the family. But she was a friend. She changed me back when you couldn't." Hayley slightly snaps. "Would you done it if it was Freya on the receiving end? Or Hope for that matter?"

"That's different."

"No, it's not."

"We had no other choice."

"There's always another choice." Hayley shuffles past him.


Elijah stares after her releasing a sigh. They've been having the same argument the last few days. It doesn't help that Freya's terrors and powers playing hide and seek. They are unable to see the new threat; they are waiting for. His family has been breaking ranks and that it's self is a threat. Chasing after the female Hybrid only to find her in the study with Kol. The toddler waddling about as she pates the table legs.

"I understand how you feel, Kol." Hayley starts as she offers a smile.

"You do not understand a blasted thing." Kol growls as he glares at her.

"I lost my husband and I wanted revenge. I got my revenge with the help of Eli-"

"A husband you didn't love. Whom you abandon any giving moment when he needed help. Left your daughter to the foolish prat that kissed the ground you walked on; so you could be with another man. I loved – No Love Davina more than you could ever be capable of feeling for that suited bastard. Davina believed in me unlike the rest of the damnable lot. Trusted me unlike everyone in this blasted prison we call home. While I get the short end of the stick time and time again by my so called family. Davina always placed me first." He growls at her.

"That's not true." Hayley attempts to get him to see that their family was only doing what they thought was the only to keep them safe.

"She sought out a way to bring me back and you know what? My own family assaulted her and tricked her. Instead of bringing me back they brought my mother. After they vowed to seek a way to bring me back. The second time, the ancestors hijacked the spell… forced me to kill her. And the only chance I could ever get her back…. You, lot, took her away from me. She was tortured for who knows how long before her soul gave out. I wasn't there to protect her… to sooth her last moments. Like she did for me, when I was hexed. I didn't get to say goodbye! So don't come to me stating you understand what I feel." Kol glares at her. "Your enemy was an alliance of strangers that took your husband. While mine… Mine are my own flesh and bloody family." Kol is in Hayley's face.

"Step away from her, Kol." Elijah cuts in after hearing his brother's rant.

"Oh look the traitorous wanker decides to talk to me." Kol takes a long swing of the brandy. "Tell me princess, did you ever discover the truth of the doppelganger's death? That you sunk your teeth into her flesh and drained her? How odd is it that I had done the same to my beloved. But you had mother trap those memories and guilt behind the red door. You lived in bliss while I live in hell after killing my little witch"

"Kol" Elijah's grim expression gives Kol an answer.

"You do remember. Perfect Elijah is not so perfect."

"Enough Kol."

"Or what? You'll dagger me?" Kol gives a humorless laugh. "You can attempt it. But that won't save you from what is to come."

"What do you mean?" Kol slaughters over his to brother and stares into his eyes. "Kol, What have you done?"

"I'm going to do what you did to me, brother." He gives Elijah a wicked smile. "Whenever you are ready to start; you can, darling."

Elijah is about to question him and pin him to the wall when a cry draws his attention. Hayley is hunched over clutching her chest. He searches for the source of it only to spot Hope a few feet away. In the arms of Davina. Elijah's eyes widen as he sees the smile on her lips as she lifts a hand. He tries to move… to say something but he cannot. He's rooted to the ground. His lower lips trembles as he squeezing his eyes shut.

"Oh, sweetheart, you don't want to miss out on the heart wrenching picture." Her voice is slightly different from what he remembers. But the bitterness and anger in her tone is there. Elijah's eyes are snapped open. Kol stands beside him.

Shaking his head attempted to fight the magic that pins him to this spot. He watches as Hayley cries and clutches her chest. Hope watching her mother with anger burning in those blue orbs; blue orbs that turn to him with anger. Accusing him…

"This is your punishment, Elijah. You took my heart so I'm taking yours. And you will never escape this nightmare." He whispers into his brother's ear. "Until I asked her to stop." And just like that Davina smiles at him as she snaps her pointer finger with her thumb, Hayley's heart is torn out of her chest. Landing at his feet; his heart breaking to a million pieces seeing his brother glare at him and stepping onto the heart of the woman he loves. His voice returns and he cries out to Hayley who lifeless body is sprawled on the ground.


Elijah wakes up with a jolt. His eyes scan the room to find Hayley beside him. Quickly he inspects her to discover that she's alive and well. Blinking few times to clam himself; but the memory is still to fresh in his mind. Rolling out of the bed he goes to the study in search of Kol. He doesn't find his brother within the walls of the compound. That gives him a bad feeling.


At the St. James:

Kol sits taking a swig from the bottle of whiskey. Zyanya is there with a glass of bourbon; her green orbs seem to have a glint in them. Marcel, Vincent and Josh appear and take a seat before them. Kol has grown tired of watching the lifetime movie his eldest brother and that woman have been starring in. He broke down and sought out Zyanya. Asked her to do what she had down to Freya.

"Are you sure, he-" Kol starts.

"Trust me; there is no outlet for the nightmare your brother is suffering. Each night he'll dread to sleep. Hell, he won't want to close his eyes at all." She smiles "For each night he'll wittiness the girl he loves die before him in a different and crude way. He will not be able to save her. It'll drive him mad. As for your sister… Freya has visions does she not?"

"She does when someone places a hand..." Kol drifts off as he sees the smile on Zyanya's lips while she pulls the glass away from her lips.

"Well, it's a blessing that that she no longer can. Hm… If I hadn't; they would have discovered what you are up to. Marcel would have his heart torn out and well Vincent and Josh dead. And you well you'd wish you were."

"What about Klaus and Hayley?" Marcel questions wanting them all to pay for the loss of his little girl.

"I have several things in mind. Don't worry your little heads about a thing. I'm here." She eyes the men at her table. Reminding her of her family… her children, who will be joining them a lot sooner than the Mikaelsons can recover from their terrors.

"She's scaring me with that smile." Josh mumbles.

"You will get what you wish soon, I promise." That causing the grown men to shiver at her vow and the threat she has made herself to the family of original vampires. They just hope that they won't anger or her sights will be on them.
