Chapter 17

Recap: Kol and Bonnie are now back from the dead and are alive once again. But what holds in store for them now. And Elena and Elijah grow closer in New Orleans even as she is cut up on the war that seems to be coming. But could there be more for Bonnie and Kol is everyone still safe? Or did something else happen?

New Orleans:

Elena and Elijah were walking the streets of New Orleans. She found it exciting that she was seeing more to the world. She had only ever been in Mystic Falls for her whole life. She did get a chance to go to New York City with Damon and travel to Chicago. But that was only when she had her emotions off and was looking for Stefan at the time in Chicago. And she had never truly appreciated going to New York City. Not that she could appreciate anything with her humanity off. Elijah brought them to a nice restaurant it was almost like the Mystic grill. Elijah knew that she wasn't up for anything fancy since it wasn't planned. Elijah and Elena talked and had dinner. Elena was shocked at how open Elijah seemed to be with her. He told his thoughts and expressed his opinions on subjects. Like how she was unsure of herself. When they had finished dinner, Elijah turned to her.

"Would you like a tour of the city that my family and I built?" He asked. She glanced to him. She had known that Elijah was of course an original and had lived forever. But she didn't realize that he had pretty built the city that she was standing in. She smiled to him and nodded.

"That would be nice." Elijah nodded giving her a smile before putting his arm out to her. She shook her head of course Elijah was all about chivalry. She grabbed his arm and led the way. As they walked Elijah began to speak.

"As you know that New Orleans is quite famous for being a strange and paranormal like city. The French Quarter happens to be one of the oldest neighborhoods in the history of New Orleans. I happen to have been the first to have lived in the neighborhood when it was first created. It is also known for being a paranormal place here. There have been lots of legends of vampires and werewolves that I am sure you know are most likely true. But this place was well known for voodoo. Another source or kind of magic like witchcraft but more of a darker cult of some sort. My friend Sophie might have a different way of defining it since her family has been known for that art. But she refers still to herself as a witch." Elena nodded looking around the old neighborhood that was the most known for legends of the supernatural. As they moved throughout the city Elena looked to a cemetery making her think of death and Bonnie. She sighed and took a deep breath. Elijah glanced to her and then the cemetery. "This is the St. Louis cemetery. Probably one of the most haunted in New Orleans. Though New Orleans does have many paranormal sighting of the supernatural. Such as of course spirits. This city has been known to be called the Cities of the Dead. It is also most famous for many people to also talk of one of the oldest legends. The Voodoo Queen. There seem to mark X's on the tombs of the dead, all of them witness the power that she is said to wield. Marie Laveau was her name and she is called the Voodoo queen. In all she was buried here or so many believe. It is also possible that her daughter could be the one that is buried here as well. But many cemeteries claim to have her buried in there's. Marie Laveau II, her daughter was also interested in the voodoo art. Her mother was a priestess to many people here in the time that she lived. I do not know if it is her daughter or her whom is buried here but I did meet her and she was powerful, a strong willed woman. Had the bloodline almost as powerful as your friend's bloodline." He glanced to her with concern making sure he didn't over step his boundaries. She just nodded reassuring him that she was fine. "Anyway I had known her for a time but soon I had to leave for other matters that I had to attend to. Unfortunatly the matters could not be ignored. The last time I had seen her was when this time was in the midst of voodoo and she was becoming known as a queen. Many people have been buried here some of war and disease such as yellow fever."

"When did you first come here?" He smiled to her.

"Back in 1720 right after the city was founded in 1718." He answered. "But I was on my own. Niklaus was with Rebekah and Kol. Even when we were not together we still shared a history and place as well as helping to build here. Kol helped for a while but his favorite city was Chicago he couldn't get enough of it when it had finally become a city. It was ashame he had missed most of the twenties I am sure he would have enjoyed his time with Niklaus and Rebekah. Along with the young Salvatore. Even though I wasn't there I knew about Mikael being there and about everything happening."

"What did you do? I mean you weren't with your family, didn't you get lonely?" She asked. Elijah looked to her. She was always curious and knew of the originals lonely lives. Even when they were a family Elijah still felt like they were all alone in some way and divided as now may seem. That's why he had hoped that Hayley was pregnant with Niklaus's child. He had thought the child would bring their family closer. But Niklaus wasn't on board with it he had not wanted a child and Elijah knew it was both of his fear to be like Mikael and that he did not want the mother of his child to be Hayley. He had heard from the longest time from Rebekah that he seemed to taken with the young blonde vampire that was friends with the doppelganger. It was then that Elijah thought he had seen some hope for bringing his family closer. Niklaus seemed to have defied love for the longest time but here he was falling in love with Elena's best friend.

"It was quite lonely, but I had other matters such as what you might call adventures or history of my life. Like the time if the Revolutionary war." Elena smiled.

"Tell me about it?" He smiled to her.

"Another time perhaps we should be getting back to the house." He took off his jacket despite that she was a vampire as well he placed it over her shoulders like a gentlemen and led her back to the car.

Mystic Falls:

Bonnie was eating a hamburger at the grill. For being dead for so long she was hungry. Kol happened to be stealing blood bags from the older Salvatore. He was drinking blood bags for Bonnie's sake. Bonnie had noticed that he done that for her. But was still unsure where their relationship was going after the kiss and everything they had been through. She realized that this was where their deal ended. They were both alive and got what they wanted. Kol was going to go off in search of his family and leave Mystic Falls. She was confused why she felt sad and slightly hurt by admitting the truth. She realized that she really didn't want him to leave. She heard movement and looked to see the door open. She found a cocky Kol standing there and walking over to the bar to grab a drink. She noticed the girl that happened to be her age smiling at him. And watched as she seemed to flirt with her Kol. Bonnie's eyes widened. Did she really just think that? Her Kol? What the hell was wrong with her? Bonnie didn't realize that she was squessing her hamburger to tight until she heard the plops of the ketchup fall and hit the plate. She cursed and put her hamburger down and took a sip of her drink just glaring at the brunette that was flipping her hair over her shoulder and smiling at Kol. Suddenly girls drink spilled on her dress and the girl shrieked. Kol just raised an eyebrow and grabbed his drink walking over to Bonnie who was still glaring as if in a trance at the girl. Kol waved his hand in her face trying to get her attention.

"Hello darling Bonnie?" He said. She turned to him.

"What?" He smirked.

"By the whole little drink spill I'd say that was no coincidence. Something caused by power like a witch." She looked at him confused. "Miss Bonnie Bennett, are you jealous." She felt heat start in her cheeks as she stared at him wide eyed.

"What?!" She glared at him and folded her arms across her chest like a stubborn child. "No! Of course not! Why would I care who you happen to spend time flirting with?" She looked away but still seemed to have the heat in her cheeks. Kol couldn't help but smirk slightly finding it amusing that the witch was jealous that he had been talking to another girl. "Kol,"

"Hmm,"

"I think something went wrong," She said.

"What are you talking about?" He asked slightly confused.

"I think I might have done the spell wrong to seal the veil. Or something else happened." He was still confused.

"What's wrong?"

"We have company." He turned to see the person he thought would be back on the other side. He was already glaring. Bonnie watched as they walked up to them.

"Bonnie, thank you so much for your help." Bonnie glared.

"Qetsiyah,"

Note: So sorry this took so long I needed some inspiration for Elijah and Elena before I continue. I did have a lot though. Because I think I am going to show some of what I think Elijah's past was like. And I knew that Qetsiyah was not going to end from my story and neither is Silas or Marcel. And I got some good news. My laptop actually might be able to be fixed. So I won't have to get a new one and I can still continue my stories and as fast as they use to be. Yay! Lol so more stories and chapters again. So tell me what you think I would love to hear your thoughts. J Reviews thanks.
