Chapter 4
A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.
Elena hardly got any sleep. Silas seemed to be torturing her in her dreams and the thunder storm wasn't making things better. She had her blanket wrapped around her and hugged herself as she watched the rain out her window. It was lighting and thundering. But it seemed slightly different from other thunder storms. She couldn't understand how Jeremy could sleep through it. She glanced at her phone and then back to the clock. In half a second she grabbed her phone dialing Elijah's number. After four rings he finally answered and she sighed in relief at hearing his voice.
"Elena…" She bit her lip. Had she woke him up.
"Elijah I am sorry for calling so late but I needed to talk to someone."
"Ok what would you like to talk about,"
"I umm…there's just this really bad storms and I don't like it. Also I have been having nightmares and please just distract me. I need a distraction." There was a slight pause at the end.
"Miss Forbes made Niklaus take her around the city and take her shopping. Although I don't think he minded it all that much. Seeing how he was entertained with her trying on clothes." Elena smiled. She was happy to hear that Caroline was happy even if it was with Klaus. Klaus wasn't her favorite person but she knew that the guy was crazy about her blonde friend. But she made a promise that if he ever hurt her then she would find a way to kill him even if she was just a baby vampire.
"I can't really see Klaus shopping especially with Caroline. She probably was there for two hours." She laughed.
"Well I am sure she didn't make him wait too long. Also it's seems that his mutual had tried something against him using Miss Forbes." Elena stopped laughing.
"What?"
"Apparently while Niklaus was talking to a friend, Miss Forbes was talking on the phone and was attacked. If it hadn't been for his friend and his hearing I am not sure what would have happened." Elena bit her lip.
"Vampire I am guessing?"
"Yes,"
"Dead?"
"Nope, Niklaus really cares about your friend he just more of tortured him. More of a threat. I must say she has really brought out a side to him. He seems to want to be the better man for her." Elena smiled. Caroline was making Klaus a better person.
"So what about you? What have you been up to?" She asked.
"Just some business matters nothing personal."
"What happened today when you were talking to me it sounded like someone was attacking you or something? Is everything alright?" There was silence at the end.
"Elena, it was just business."
"Elijah is something wrong?" He sighed. "Elijah, Caroline is my friend and I don't want her to be in danger. I know she has Klaus but still I am her friend and I would like to help her."
"Elena, right now is not a good time to come to New Orleans. It's not safe." She huffed.
"Elijah mystic Falls isn't safe. I think that's also why Matt left with Rebekah. Things haven't been sort of easy and back to normal. It's only gotten worse. Stefan and Matt are gone. Bonnie is…dead…Damon I think has been wasting his time drinking at the grill. Jeremy, April and I are the only ones left. Tyler was here yesterday but left a few days ago. Who knows where he is? And I have sort of been getting visits from…Silas…"
"What?" There was a groan at the end. "Elena I know Silas is a danger and you should leave Mystic Falls but coming to New Orleans is still not a good idea. This is the supernatural capital after all. And there's a war brewing in the streets of the city. This war is with older vampires." He said.
"Caroline's there." She snapped.
"Miss Forbes is in none of my concern. I will help keep her safe for my brother sake. But it's her choice and Niklaus is mostly the one responsible for her. He must make sure that she will be fine."
"But Elijah-
"Elena I am telling you as a good friend you don't want to get caught up in this mess of things. Now Elena it's late and you should be getting some sleep tomorrow. And be careful Elena. I will send someone to check on you." Elena sighed.
"Fine, goodnight Elijah."
"Goodnight Elena," She hung up the phone and looked around her room. She was an adult. And if Caroline was there then so could she. She would show Elijah that she wasn't so weak.
Bonnie and Kol used Bonnie's grandmothers old house for shelter from the storm. Bonnie normally would make a fire with her magic but seeing as she wasn't capable of doing that yet, Kol lit the fire.
"I don't like this storm." She broke the silence. Kol shrugged.
"It's just bad weather; at least you have much better houses these days. When we had houses a thousand years ago and storms like this happen we had to go underground in case lighting struck causing a fire." She gave him a look.
"I meant that something doesn't feel right, I mean this storm just seems different from what I experienced." He looked outside.
"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't." After a few minutes Bonnie started trying to concentrate on the fire. But it was no use her powers weren't fully back and she had to wait a few more hours.
"Looks like I won't have my magic back till morning." She complained. Suddenly they saw a flash and heard the crack of thunder shatter the night sky. In the next second the lights flickered until there was no light but the fire. "Great, as if things couldn't get much worse." She sighed and hugged herself. Kol didn't understand what drove him to do this but he grabbed the blanket that hung loosely off the couch and wrapped it around Bonnie and sat down on the floor with her. She looked at him with a look of shock and he looked away not wanting to seem vulnerable or weak. After a few minutes he turned back to her only to find that she was resting her head on his chest. He blinked twice in surprise at the witch's actions. But he slowly lifted his arm around her shoulders holding her to him as he she laid her head on his chest fast asleep.
Note: So another chapter done. Looks like Elena might go to New Orleans despite Elijah's warning. And Bonnie and Kol grow closer it seems. Tell me what you think. Reviews. Thanks.
