Chapter 11 A New Day
Elijah's Point Of View
It's early morning and Elijah awakens from a nightmare. The Original covered in sweat and he was calling out to Lexi. The dream had started out happy but however turned tragic in the blink of an parents both back from the dead and taking away his beautiful angel. He knew that he would have to tell her about the lurking danger. Thankfully it was just a dream he told himself. There was no way that he would ever let anything bad happen to her. As he rubbed the sleep from his eyes and his heart beat returning to normal the Original reached to turn on a light illuminating the darkened room in some brightness. He could tell that there was to be a storm outside brewing. There were clouds grey storm clouds. He could hear thunder in the distance. Pulling back the covers he moved off the bed allowing his bare feet to touch the floor.
As he walked to his bathroom he listened. The house remained quiet at the early hour. Elijah wanted to go check on Lexi however he knew that she'd be asleep looking like an angel that she is. He didn't want to wake her. There was no way he could go back to sleep not now. The Original reached for the bathroom light switching it to the on position. He walked over to his shower turning on the knobs to start the water. He strips off his tshirt, boxers and pajama bottoms placing them into another hamper that is in his bathroom before stepping into the shower. Allowing the hot water to fall over his naked body Elijah started to wake up a little bit more. The details from his dream and nightmare slowly disappearing. He quickly washed his hair before using some newly bought men's body wash.
Satisfied he shut off the water before stepping out of the shower. He grabbed a thick towel wiping his face and running it through his wet hair before wrapping it around his waist as his feet stepped onto the thick rug outside of his shower. He walked over to his sink and brushed his teeth. Elijah then picked up his shaving cream and razor. Once finished he splashed a little bit of after shave onto his now smooth face. He walked into his bedroom and over to his dresser where he pulled out a pair of clean boxers putting them on. Walking over to his closet he picked out a pair of clean dress pants stepping into them. He grabbed a clean fresh shirt and slipped it on before buttoning it. Sitting on his bed for a moment the Original begins to put on a fresh pair of clean dress socks. He chooses a matching tie. Glancing at his reflection in the mirror of his dresser he reaches for a comb. He runs the comb through his almost dry hair making it stand to a point. He walks over to his closet reaching for a dress jacket. Slipping it through his arms he buttons it up before bending down grabbing some dress shoes. Satisified he turns to grab the doorknob to his bedroom door.
He hopes that Nik is asleep. He has been checking in on him every so often. Even though it is dangerous Elijah wishes that somehow Nik could hold his daughter or see her. Something to pull him out of his deep dark hole he has gotten himself in. The Original placed his hand upon his doorknob as he slowlly turned it before pushing open his bedroom door. Walking into the hallway he closes his bedroom door behind him. He heads for the staircase. Once he reaches the first floor he decides that he needs to go take care of getting Lexi a daylight ring. He has a witch who has done him favors in the past. It shouldn't take long. He hopes to be back before she awakens. Knowing that there is a storm approaching he grabs an unbrella as he uses his secret entrance and exit to slip out of the compound.
He walks along the sidewalk making his way quickly. The early morning the city is still asleep even though there are some humans out and about at this early hour. It doesn't take him long before he reaches his diestination. Entering the Original greets the young witch whose name is Madeline. "Good morning Madeline. I need a favor." He says as he smiles at her. He knows that witches want payment for their services. It's nothing new to Elijah. She nods her head before asking him what he wants. He explains to her how he would like her to make him a daylight ring for Lexia. She says that she can make him one. It will take some time but she will contact him when it is ready. She expects payment when he comes for the daylight ring. He tells her that he will have it when he picks up the ring. He isn't sure how he will keep this surprise from Lexi but he will do his best. After all he doesn't want her confined to inside.
Walking back to the compound it starts to rain and he opens up the unbrella keeping himself dry as he reaches home. Slipping back inside he makes sure to lock the door. The house is still quiet. He places the wet unbrella in the foyer and walks to the kitchen. Since she is still asleep the Original wants to surprise her by making her breakfast. With a grin on his face he tries to remain as quiet as possible as he takes out pans and items from the refridgerator to make her breakfast.
Lexi's Point Of View
Lexi was able to sleep for the first time in a long while. Maybe it was because she was under the same roof as Elijah or maybe it was because of the bed she was sleeping upon. Whatever the reason it seemed like she was finally able to have some decent sleep. She was having good dreams about Elijah. Thinking that it was early morning she continued to sleep until she blinked her eyes glancing at the time that was displayed on the clock next to her bed. Between the clock and the loud clap of thunder with the sound of rain falling Lexi knew that she couldn't go back to sleep. Plus the thirst for some blood made her rub her sleepy eyes. She yawned and stretched. Glancing around the bedroom a smile upon her face realizing that she indeed stayed at the Mikaelson's. Last night wasn't just a dream.
She giggled as she slowly got up. Her bare feet hitting the floor. Walking into the bathroom she turned on the bathroom light. She needed a shower and to get dressed. As much as she wanted to go downstairs to see if Elijah was awake. She grabbed her things for her shower before turning on the water making sure it was hot enough for her. She removed her pajamas folding them neatly before stepping into the shower. The hot water as it touched her soft skin started to wake her up. Her mind began to wonder what it would be like if she weren't alone in the shower. She started to blush. She couldn't help it. She wanted to do everything with Elijah. She washed her hair before using conditioner. She used her favorite body wash before being completely satisfied that she was clean. She turned off the water and reached for a thick bath towel wrapping her wet curly hair in it. Once her hair was wrapped she grabbed another towel wrapping it around her body as she stepped out of the shower into the hot steamy bathroom. She dries off before picking up her pajamas and walking into her bedroom putting them away. She picks out an outfit to wear and gets dressed before walking back to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She spends a little while putting on some makeup before drying her hair with a blow dryer. Her hair full of curls. She can't help but smile since she knows how much Elijah likes it this way.
Satisfied she turns off the bathroom light and heads for her bedroom door opening it before setting foot into the hallway. It's here where she can hear someone downstairs as well as smell something delicious coming from the kitchen most likely. She shuts her bedroom door and heads for the quickly makes her way down the stairs hitting the bottom step. She proceeds to walk towards the kitchen with a smile on her face.
