Elijah's POV
She lay on her back, lost in her own world. I wanted to ask her to come with me to this party but I could feel a nervousness settling in my stomach, she might not want to be in a house full of vampires... I might not want her in one!
"come with me tonight?" she tilted her head to look at me, her hair falling effortlessly around her shoulders "where?" i rolled onto my side trailing my fingers gently down to her stomach "Family friends are having a party" she shrugged her shoulders trying to look unaffected by my hand, her eyes continued to search my face for emotion "if you want me to?"
A cheeky grin spread across my face "i definitely do" she returned it and shuffled closer hiding her face in my neck, I held her close about to kiss shoulder but she jerked back quickly "Elijah?!" she looked at my neck with horror in her eyes "what?" Panic shot through me instantly, I looked her over trying to figure out what was wrong.
"its still there?" i looked back to her crinkling my nose in confusion "what are yo-" she cut me off jumping up and pulling me off the bed to the mirror, when I didn't look she nudged me closer pointing to my neck frustrated.
My own jaw fell slack as I saw my reflection, my finger grazing her teeth mark on my neck "how? How?!" My voice was raised in surprise and she stepped away looking at the floor, I was in shock. My skin should have started healing before she even removed her teeth?
"sorry" i frowned at it in the mirror before turning to face at her, "hey? Why are you sorry? I don't know whats happening but its fine, its OK" she looked at my neck again and shook her head lost in thought.
"did you ever.. Bite Stefan?" she shook her head again and a smirk grew on my face instantly, it was childish i know but it still made me feel good "never?" she rolled her eyes at me and took a step closer to kiss my neck "i'm sorry"
I pushed her back to look at her, she worried too much "stop apologizing to me Elena, i kind of like it" she bit into her bottom lip and nodded. She was so enticing when she done that.. I smirked checking the time before I lost it again "you better get a sleep, we have a long day ahead"
She frowned leaning over to check the time "2 in the morning?! How?" i shrugged and grinned at her pulling her back to the bed.
Once the blanket was around us she snuggled into my side and passed out not long after, her soft breaths fanning across my chest. Once i was sure she was out cold i got ready quickly and took off for the mansion.
"Klaus?" I stormed in looking around, he appeared frowning "what the fuck Elijah?" Without a word i pointed to my neck, his frown set deeper before he met my gaze again "Who have you been with?" He sounded almost angry with me.. A snort left my lips shaking my head at him, he honestly thinks anybody else could compare to Elena Gilbert? He was nuts. "Elena"
he shook his head thinking about something "no. No its not possible" his insistence to point out the obvious infuriated me but I needed more information about this so I decided to give him a minute to sort his thoughts.
"Elijah vampire's can only be marked by other vampire's.. Are you sure it's Elena?" I laughed, he really does underestimate me. Like I would let that bitch Katherine touch me! "I know what Katherine smells like Klaus I'm not fucking stupid! It was Elena, her heart was beating against my ribs 60 seconds ago!"
"Well.. if it's anything like our marks? I'd advise you mark her back before her conquests of the town realize and go after her" my chest tightened at the thought of anyone else touching her, shes mine.
Klaus held his hands up in defense only then did I realize my eyes were bloodshot, the veins around my eyes bulging out confirming the soulless monster that I buried down deep when I was around Elena. She deserved someone so much better than me
"Do you know anything else?" He shook his head running a hand through his hair, he looked suddenly stressed thinking hard about something "have you marked her?"
"Obviously, all over her neck and shoulders" he rolled his eyes trying to act disgusted but I could see him thinking about it "ehm.. no not drinking, marked" I shrugged genuinely unsure, she's let me bite her so many time's and the very few times she done it to me she's managed to mark me..
"you know she couldn't mark you if she didn't-" I nodded quickly signaling I knew what he was talking about but the mark wouldn't have been there if I didn't return her feelings...
"I need to go" i darted off back to Elena quicker than ever. When i arrived she hadn't moved, her hair fanned out under her. Beautiful as always
I kicked my shoes and cloths back off climbing into bed pulling her to my side making her smile in her sleep. Jeez why was she so addictive? I looked away from her and relaxed closing my eyes.
Elena's POV
I woke up to the smell of bacon hitting my nostrils and suddenly remembered i hadn't eaten in so long! I got up instantly shoving shorts and a top on before sprinting down stair's, i stopped abruptly when i saw Elijah topless standing over the cooker.
"mmm.. What a sight" he chuckled and i walk over wrapping my arms around his waist feeling his torso before sighing happily walking away to the fridge for water.
Once i gulped some down i jumped up on the counter swinging my legs "so?" he looked over to me quickly grinning "so what?"
I raise my eyebrows gesturing to the cooker "your cooking?" he nodded and turned the cooker down before walking over with judging eyes "yes, because you haven't eaten since you've been with me! Why?" i shrugged trying to hide the blush spreading across my face "i forgot.. I've been so wrapped up"
"you can't forget to eat Elena!!" i rolled my eyes pulling him closer, his scent made my mouth water "yes, sir!" he growled kissing my neck, when he leaned back i pushed his chin up to look at my teeth mark on his neck and winced "I'm really am sorry about that"
His eyes snapped back to me "oh yeah!" he walked away turning the cooker off and back to me quickly "do you love me?!" my eyes widen in shock, my mind going completely blank "w-what?"
He shook his head quickly rubbing his forehead, he almost looked like he was trying to think of words "no.. Sorry, wait. Last night i went to see Klaus about why that hasn't disappeared" i raise my eyebrow waiting for him to continue as his finger grazed my teeth mark slowly.
"well.. because you have these feelings for me and i feel them for you back... when you decided to bite me it wasn't just a normal bite, It kind of... Bonded us, that's why it hasn't went away"
He watched me carefully before continuing to inch a little closer to me "well.. Now you've marked me the vampires around can smell it, if they want you they will try mark you before i do.. To stop the bond"
My stomach lurched in fear, I wasn't expecting that "t-they will what?" his hands cupped my face making me calm down "Elena.. I wont let anyone hurt you i promise, i think Stefan and Damon are the only ones to worry about for you.. But the people that still think your Katherine" he trailed off looking away from my panic filled eyes.
"what can i do? What does this mean? I don't understand" he smiled trying to reassure me but i could see the worry in his eyes "if I mark you back.. Then you'll be mine.. Really mine" i raised an eyebrow still panicking.
"what does that mean?" he smiled again tucking my hair behind my ear, his smile was strangely calming "it basically means you'll smell like me to other vampires.. Our bond will grow stronger, i realize its a bit soon for all this"
He ran his hands through his hair before placing them on the counter either side of me "but if we didn't have these feelings for each other.. You couldn't have marked me" i blushed a furious red and dropped my face shaking my head a little.
"only you could scare and embarrass me all in one minute" he chuckled shaking his head, my hands trailed up his arms and around his back and up to his neck. I quickly forgot what we were talking about and wrapped my fingers in the hair at the back of his head "think about it, we don't need to do this.. I could just keep you safe"
I think for a minute scrapping my nails across his scalp, his eyes closed enjoying it. Everything felt so weird when I was with him "if you mark me, we can continue to be normal?" he laughed but nodded opening his eyes again "yes Elena, you don't have to decide right now" i relaxed and smiled shuffling closer to him "OK, thank you"
He pecked my forehead and unwrapped my hands from his hair wandering back over to the cooker starting it up again. Soon we're at the table and I'd demolished breakfast "you really were hungry" i giggle taking some water
"yep, now its your turn" he grinned and stood up, when he disappeared i frowned but he came back a minute later holding blood bags "sorted!"
I rolled my eyes at him and got up taking my plate over to the sink, when i turned around he was drinking from a blood bag but winked at me. I grinned shaking my head trying not to show him the effect a simple gesture had on me.
Once hes done he exhaled dramatically stretching his muscles "now, down to business" i crinkled my nose sitting down next to him as he grinned "shopping, you need a dress"
My face fell, shopping.. Yeey. "wait.. You must be the only girl alive who doesn't erupt at the thought of shopping" i giggled shifting nervously, honestly I just wanted to get closer to dull the numb screaming in my mind telling me to jump on him.
"warm shops, lots of people bumping into each other.. Kids crying" i cringed shaking my head "not my ideal day out"
He chuckled leaning over the table "kids not your thing?" i shrug pouting my lips together, trying to think of a way to say this without sounding like a weirdo "well, yes! I mean, They're... No. Kids are horrible" he laughed loudly holding his stomach, I couldn't help but laugh with him it was so contagious. There was honestly no point in not telling him the truth.
"oh Elena, brilliant" i giggled again shaking my head sinking back in the seat "how about this, you tell me what dress i need and ill borrow one from Bonnie's huuuuge closet"
He grinned shaking his head "oh sweet Elena.." the confusion must have been evident on my face because he chuckled "i have someone you need to see"
He stood and pulled me with him back upstairs "get ready" he lifted his shirt and frowned dropping it again "never mind.." i just giggled running over to the wardrobe.
Once I'm in jeans and a top i shove the shoes he got me on and walk back over to him "ready?" i nodded and he took off running instantly making me squeal.
When we stopped in the mansion i tensed making him chuckle "I'm owed a favor, hold on. Rebekah?!" my stomach twisted, what is he doing? When she appeared she sneered at me making me roll my eyes feeling bored already.
"what do you want Elijah?" he grinned as her eyes narrowed, she knew he was up to something "that one you owe me? Id like to cash it in" her face fell along with mine, he wouldn't "what is it?!"
"she needs a dress, for tonight" she laughed looking at me and back to him with a really? look "your going to take her to a party full of vampires while she's marked you and you haven't marked her? How is that going to end well?"
His face fell as he thought about it "oh... I didn't" she rolled her eyes and walked closer punching his shoulder "I'm taking the piss Elijah, who would dare come near an original's girl?"
This playful side to her was weird, he laughed pushing her "just get a dress.. please?" she huffed but nodded looking me over.
"she looks drained actually.." i frown looking down at myself "she needs a nap" my head snaps back up to her, why is she being so suspicious..
"Having too much fun!!" she giggled walking away making Elijah roll his eyes clearly used to her bluntness "dress Rebekah, please" she laughed again glancing over her shoulder at us "yeah, yeah! She'll be drop dead gorgeous" he grinned down at me as Klaus swaggered in looking down at his phone.
"oh hey klaus" he stopped dead but started walking again grinning at me "hey..?" i chuckled and Elijah pulled me closer to his side "why the surprise?"
He shrugged looking at Elijah and back to me "no, nothing. How are you, love?" i shrugged elbowing Elijah playfully "I'm amazing! This one's keeping me busy!" he grinned and Elijah chuckled pulling me closer again rubbing soothing circle's on my hip.
"how are you?" the surprise on his face made me feel uneasy "ehm, I'm good thanks" i nodded giving him a confused laugh.. he was so weird sometimes "OK, spill whats wrong?"
He just shook his head glancing at Elijah quickly "just.. Didn't think you actually would speak to me again if you didn't have to" my nose crinkled in confusion "Klaus.. We're friends?"
"if that's for my dear brother? You don't need to, he doesn't even like me" i shrugged feeling exhausted with him "annd?" he still looked confused and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Klaus, when i wanted to be friends i wasn't kidding.. I get its weird with everything that happened with Jeremy and stuff.. But I've already lost so many people, we would get along so well if our lives weren't so different. Now Elijah is part of my life, your part of his so.. Yes, I'd like to actually be your friend"
He laughed again but nodded visibly relaxing "OK then!" i giggled raising my eyebrows at him, he must have short term memory loss "we already spoke at the bar?"
"i know, but humans say crazy things they don't mean when they're filled with alcohol" i giggled but nodded in agreement, he has no idea "fuck, that's true" we all laughed again and he looked to Elijah.
"anyway, tonight? The Salvatores will be there.. Before you freak out? They're doing a job for me, just keep an eye on.. Sweet, sweet Elena" he grinned at me and my eyes rolled almost unconsciously.
"why tonight?" klaus shrugged grinning at him "because its the only time my plan will work" i frowned at him confused but didn't ask.
"Elenaaa?" my eyes widen at Rebekah's voice making them both chuckle as she appeared again "come with me?" i hesitated but nodded and walked over to her once Elijah let me go.
I followed her through the house silently but she stopped upstairs at a door and groaned turning to me "tell anyone about this? Ill kill you personally" i nodded quickly and she rolled her eyes looking behind me.
"It was a joke! Calm down!!" i looked but nobody was there. She just shook her head and pushed the door open walking in. My jaw fell open looking around.
The walls were covered by tall clothing racks filled to the brim and a huge sewing machine "you design cloths?!" she shrugged looking uninterested "none of it has ever left this room, i cant seem to get it right" i gawked at her lifting a t-shirt that was sparkly with a fist holding the middle finger up, i squealed and pulled my phone out but stopped looking over to her.
"ehmm.. do you mind? To send to bonnie?" she rolled her eyes and nodded slumping down on a bed in the middle of the room "you can openly hate them you don't need to do it with your friend" i frowned dropping the phone after sending the picture with no other explanation.
"wait.. You think people hate these? Rebekah.. This top is amazing" my phone binged and i held it up in triumph "come see" she walked over looking down at the phone with me
Bonnie - ooh! I neeed!! What shop you in? Buy that for me!
I chuckled shaking my head "i thought she'd have been a bit more review like, but still.. Really nice" i smiled at her and her eyes narrowed before she nodded walking away.
I rolled eyes and went back to to looking. After a bit she stopped me and pulled me to a long mirror holding out a long gold dress
"wow" she held it against me before walking away and sitting down starting to do things to it. "ehm..." she looked over at me and smirked "hold on"
She finished quickly and walked back to me "cloths off" my eyes widen making her laugh "ill not look" i quickly pulled my jeans off then my top and she frowned at me sniffing the air.
"how do you smell more like Elijah without cloths?" i shrugged making her narrow her eyes looking no where in particular. She shook herself out of it quickly and helped me into the dress.
It truly was beautiful, it was backless, ruffling up at the bottom of my spine perfectly. It hugged my figure making me feel beautiful, when she pulled a bit at the side my boobs looked great too.
"wow.." she grinned at the dress happily taking a step back to look me over "Rebekah... Wow" i hand her the phone quickly "i need photo graphic evidence of looking this good" she chuckled and took a photo for me. I just grinned running my hands down my sides
"i feel.. I don't know, i like this" she chuckled and motioned to the door "show Elijah" i hesitated at the mirror, i didn't want to look away and miss it. Ridiculous.. Shaking my head i lift the bottom of the dress as she walked me out the room, hiding me till they were all standing watching "come out"
I blushed bright red and slowly walked out looking at the floor, when i heard nothing but silence i lifted my head worried.
Elijah's eyes were extremely dark while they roamed my body, he licked his lips and cleared his throat "you look.. Stunning" a grin spread on my face. Klaus still just stared with his jaw slack making Elijah elbow him.
He shook his head looking at Elijah quickly and back to me again, he wasn't looking at my face. I lifted my arms to twirl showing off the dress with a big grin.
"so beautiful" i grinned at Elijah who walked closer pulling my chin up "as always" i rolled my eyes pecking his cheek. Before we got the chance to get carried away Rebekah spoke up.
"lets go!" i frowned in confusion as she walked over to us "well, you're wearing my dress, so you're getting make up and hair done.. My reputation is on the line"
I grinned nodding quickly, Elijah pulled my face up again "ill be right here, shout if you need me" i leaned closer kissing him gently then smirked licking my lips and walked away following Rebekah.
I gasp as I'm pinned against the wall almost instantly "leave" his demanding was so sexy. My heart was pounding so hard i held my chest as Rebekah and Klaus walked away laughing. His eyes didn't leave mine.
"you drive me crazy" he started kissing my neck, nibbling and working his way to my jaw before capturing my lips with his.
I groaned when he pulled away too soon "fuck, your so distracting" he looked me over again licking his lips before checking the time "we don't have time for this.. Fuck" he kissed me again and pulled back resting his forehead against mine.
"Elijah?" he opened his eyes and i smiled cupping his face "thank you" he leaned back to look at me confused "what for?" i motioned to the dress, his eyes fell from mine looking me over again.
They darkened before licking his lips "for bringing me here? For allowing Rebekah to get something out of her room" he frowned again clearly confused, he has no idea what I'm talking about.
"just, your amazing" my arms went around his neck pulling myself closer to him kissing his jaw along to his ear "ill appreciate that later when we have time" he growled deep in his chest holding my hips in an iron grip.
When i pulled away i pecked his cheek one last time "ill see you soon" he grinned and nodded kissing me gently "you will" i chuckle walking back up to the room Rebekah was in, my mind swirling in foggy sex memories.
"hey?" i spun surprised and exhaled heavily when i saw Rebekah "jeez!" she giggled motioning to the chair. I quickly sat down and she smiled a little looking at me in the mirror.
"you thanked him? For me? Why?" i crinkled my nose at her, she listened? Did i sound sarcastic? "how di-"
"vampires Elena, we can hear clearly" i nodded quickly feeling stupid "yeah.. I knew that, i was just testing you" she raised her eyebrows and laughed moving on from my blunder.
"anyway.. Thanks i guess" i nodded quickly hoping we could move on. Thank god she got to work quickly.
