Chapter 6 Wanting To Be Alone With Her
I must apologize if this Chapter is a bit on the shorter side.
Elijah's Point Of View
The Original was something, a powerful being having spent years upon years on this earth. Has he ever found it? Peace? Love? Something that he could fight for. He would fight his last breath for 'Hope' both for the child and the spark of hope in this world. Elijah's head turned towards the blonde as a smile moved across his lips. She was amazing. She's been through so much yet she did all this without himself in her life. He didn't know if it would be smart of her to stay. Because even he knew deep down if she did stay that he couldn't let her leave or let her go. Leaving the first time was hard enough. There would be no leaving a second time.
"Yes...My brother's or sister never knew why I was so upset one night.I had to go and leave town before I tore the Salvatore in half..." He tells her. He was slightly ashamed but at the same time he wasn't. The Original hasn't felt so angered by something in so long like that before. Hearing about her death, he had failed at his job of protecting her. Hearing what she said next, he let out a long breath before the Original turned to look over to her. His brown hues looking into her dark hazel ones.
She was truly beautiful. A grin moving across his lips as he listened to what she said next. "Only I? You sure? I bet there is at least one other that could make you blush." He teased her. The Original was loosening up around her and he didn't mind it. "Well maybe one day soon you'll show them to me." He says once more. He was slightly curious as to what she could have possibly written to him. Maybe if he'd kept in contact. Maybe...No. He made a choice that night and he's sticking to it. But seeing her, he regretted not keeping in contact with her.
She was flawless and beautiful. Her attitude could always brighten someone up more so himself. His brown hues looked up to her dark hazel ones. He quickly pulled out a fifty leaving it on the counter. Extending out his arm to her. "Care to leave this bar...To join me on a walk around the city?" He suggested to her with a sly grin moving along his lips.
Lexi's Point Of View
Lexi knew that Elijah was one of the oldest living things to ever walk this earth. He was kind and noble. He would fight for his family and those he loved and cared about. He would gladly give up his own immortal life if it meant that his family and those he loved were kept safe. It was one of the countless things she loved about him. She hoped that he was proud of her. All that she had accomplished and done. All by herself without any help from anyone. She was bound and determined to stay in New Orleans danger or no danger. She was not about to leave. She knew that by her staying that he wouldn't be able to let her go. She had come up with a saying. "When it's real you don't walk away." She could tell that if she left or if he let her go it would just tear the remaining pieces of him apart.
She watched as he talked about having to leave town before he would tear Damon into pieces when he had found out about her death at the hand of the oldest Salvatore. He had been upset when he heard. She did mean something to him and not just because he wanted to protect her and keep her safe. "You didn't fail Elijah. It wasn't your fault. Damon wanted to seek revenge on his brother by killing me." The entire time she was on the "other side" she watched over Elijah. He had no idea. She wanted to hold him in her arms as he cried. She wanted to be the one to dry his tears. Seeing Elijah like that made her want to make it all go away. She missed his smile. His laugh. It was as if he was a broken man. His happiness taken once more.
Upon his comments and him teasing her. She let out a giggle. She smiled and blushed. "I assure you Elijah only you. Her dark hazel eyes looking into his brown hues. She loved seeing this side of him. It was as if the more time they spent together he was beginning to feel at ease around her. She could feel the connection the spark growing between them. She had wished that he could be this way around her. "The letters are technically yours and it would be my pleasure to show them to you Elijah." She had planned on giving them to him one day.
She always had a positive attitude. She could always cheer people up. She couldn't help but smile as she noticed that she was helping Elijah. It's all she ever wanted from that first time they ever met. Taking chances is scary but if one doesn't they may miss out on happiness. She watched as he pulled out a fifty dollar bill and put it onto the counter. She wasn't suprised. He was a gentleman after all. She missed that about him. How he would open up doors for her allowing her to enter first. He'd pull out her chair for her waiting until she would sit down before scooting her in at the table. All the little things about him that she had always cherished. She noticed he was smiling at her and she couldn't help but blush. She took his arm in hers. "I would love to Elijah." She secretly wished that the evening would never end.
