Chapter 16
Safe houses.
Rebekah refused to talk to Alana for the whole journey to the safe house. She sat in the back with Hope and Alana sat beside Elijah. The pair were conversing in French- a French older than the one She knew. Alana was running her hand around Elijah's over the gear stick of his car. Rebekah, who had herself been in love, was stunned by how much the pair seemed to radiate off each other. Their love had an unbreakable bond to it, even Rebekah could see that. When they arrived, in Georgia no less, at the safe house Alana disembarked and rushed to the door. Elijah helped her and Hope from the car before following. He stood on the steps of the porch and waited.
Alana reappeared. "Elijah Mikaelson, Rebekah Mikaelson and Hope, I nearby invite you into this home." She said politely and Elijah stepped over the threshold with hope. Rebekah followed.
"This is your house?" She asked, the first words she had uttered to Alana since their meeting.
"Yes... Sort of. It was my distant great neice's she died, last year and left me the place." Alana explained and Rebekah raised her eyes.
Elijah answered her. "Alana was born in 1766, in London England, sister. She has been a constant companion to me." Elijah was bouncing Hope on his hip in a fatherly sort of way. Alana smiled and thought of Elijah doing that with their own child.
"I had a brother, also a witch, his descendants always accepted me, the immortality spell and all." Alana added, as she closed the door behind Rebekah, magically. Rebekah jumped. "Elijah, give Hope to Rebekah and ring Niklaus so he knows they are safe. Hayley will be worried."
"Of course. Rebekah." Elijah said as he handed over the child. He kissed Alana's cheek before stepping off to one side to call.
"Oh, Elijah?"
"Hmm?" He added as Alana called to him from across the room.
"There are two small travelling trunks in our room at the foot of the bed, would you ask Niklaus to bring them to me please?"
"Of course... Ah, Niklaus..." Elijah said as his bother answered his phone in New Orleans.
