Chapter 12
I walk in the kitchen and prepare the breakfast for me and Jeremy while he's in the shower.
"Morning." Jeremy says entering the room already ready for school and sits in the table and I put his breakfast in front of him and I sit facing him as he gives me my journal. It is our morning routine, at least it has been for the last week. I made a quick look the news and Jeremy turned to me.
"I think we should get a dog." He tells me and I have to smile at my brother randomness.
"Why do you want a dog?"
"I don't know I just do." He says moving his shoulders his arms. "It would be good, we could take him to the park and stuffs like those."
"A dog?" I ask him confused and he nods. "I will…. Think about it." I say to his strange proposal. I look over at the clock and it is time for us to leave. "Ready to go?" I ask him getting up from the table and he finishes his milk and gets up.
"See you at lunch Jer." I tell my brother when he opens the door and he smiles at me.
"Go have fun playing with your monopoly." He tells me smiling at me.
"Miss Bianchi there is someone to talk to you." Andrea my secretary tells me, once she enters my office. She is a graduated marking woman. Red medium haired (Copper Kisses, I believe was what she said to me when I ask her) girl has worked for some time and I promoted her once she finished college in June, I liked her she is smart and can make interesting conversations. I knew her parents were extreme religious and kicked her out for their house once they found out she was bisexual, she as a degree in marketing and it 23.
"How is it?" I ask not expecting to hear from someone this morning.
"It's Mr. Miller." She says and I take a deep breath, were it goes my nice lunch with my brother.
"Send him in." I say unhappy about it and she nods leaving a couple of minutes he enters the office closing the door behind him. "What do you want Joshua."
"For you to go to Aspen with me in the holidays but you already said no." He tells me sitting in front of me very comfortable.
"I have plans." I tell him with a neutral voice (wish I am very good at).
"New Years' Eve."
"Already booked too. The entire year of 2011 too." I tell him and he looks at me cockily.
"Oh come on Daniela don't be like that."
"You made someone publish that we were dating and talking about tying the knot and I don't remember neither of them."
"Oh come on we have fucked each other for months." He almost screams and I send him a furious.
"If you don't speak in a way my employees will not need to hear about this I will kick you out and I mean it. By the way my I made them clear it out our relationship or lack of it."
"Why I personally liked the 'power couple it's seen together talking at a charity event'."He says with a smirk.
"Joshua one more of this and I will take the measurement in my hands and you don't want to see it happening."
"Oh I like when you treat me and punish me." He says with a suggestive look and I give him a killing look.
"You will not like this one, I promise you." I say furious I look over at the clock and Jeremy is coming in 20 minutes. "No please leave I have more important things to do then dealing with you."
"See you at the meeting on Monday." He tells me with a smirk and I groan once he leaves. Since I don't have time to punch something I decide to fight the anger and contain it.
What is with him? Half of New York bus be thinking that I am engaged to him or dating him? God people can't have sex today without being front page, right, Joshua is a jerk. Next people in Mystic Falls will find out. What will Elijah think once he reads it? That he fucked an engaged woman? STOP thinking about it, you haven't seen him in almost 3 weeks. This is what happens when you don't have sex or fight. I don't know why I am laughing since I have to find clothes to wear. You laugh is so beautiful. God. I say putting my hands on my face and my elbows on the table. What is wrong with me? It has been 3 weeks since I left that small town and I can't stop with this thinking. Come on Daniela you have a list of men (not really a list but that is not the point) of men who would love to sleep with you and you can't take your mind of Elijah, open your eyes, it will not work. He is there you are here and relationships aren't in your card besides he probably had already slept with someone or at least forgot you. I could kiss you all day and it's still not enough. I still can't feel his fingers on my cheek when we were at the table on that restaurant we went out. The way it made me feel warm and nice. I cared for him, more than I would like admit it but I have to let it go away. The warm, comfortable, caring feelings have to go. I groan out loud.
"Are you ok?" Jeremy asks and I look surprise when I saw him entering the room. "It's time for lunch." He informs me and I shake my head nodding getting my back and jacket.
"Yes, of course, let's go."
"Who is the red-haired?" Jeremy asks me at the elevator.
"That's Andrea my secretary. Why?"
"She's cute." He tells me and I roll my eyes but give him a little (almost forced) smile.
"So you are into older women, I see."
"You know how my dating life has been, first Vicky, then Anna and Bonnie." He says taking a deep breath.
"You still like Bonnie." I tell him, it wasn't a question; it's as all over his face.
"I do but I messed up."
"Anna was your first love; you never forget your first love."
"Did you?"
"I never had it."I confessed it to him at the moment the elevator doors open and Jeremy and I walk out of the building into the cold New York.
I return to my office and went back to my work. I was in the middle of reading some papers when my phone started to ring and I check the I.D. Damom. What did he wanted, I look over at the clock, it's 4:16.
"Hi Damon." I say accepting the call.
"Gilbert. Are you busy?"
"Kind of, why?"
"We are a problem." He says with a seriously voice which is never good.
"What happen?"
"Alaric. He's kind of possessed or something like that because of the Gilbert ring."
"What Damon? I don't understand the ring? Jeremy also has one." I say worry about it and Damon explains to me the entire story as I listen.
"Do you think of anything you can do? Bonnie has some herbs but I don't think they will work for much longer."
"I will try to see if I find anything and I will come to town on the weekend. Just don't do anything stupid until I am there."
"I will don't worry and thanks Dani."
"You're welcomed maybe Jeremy would like to go too. See you on the weekend."
"Yes." He says and we end our phone call and I call Andrea who enters the room almost a minute after I asked.
"What would you like Miss Bianchi?"
"I need you to warn the pilot that I am flying tomorrow night. I still don't know the time but I will text him still today about it."
"Ok anything else?"
"I have the weekend free?"
"You have a meeting on Saturday but I can schedule to Wednesday but you will work later."
"It's ok, I just what my weekend clean. The trip to Seattle it's still planned?"
"Yes we leave on Thursday morning and return on Saturday."
"Perfect. Now why don't you take the weekend off?" I tell her and she nods with a smile leaving me with me work.
"How was your day?" I ask my brother as our car is driven to the gym.
"It was good." He tells me. "We have a project to work do until the holidays."
"About what?" I ask and he starts to talk about his art project and I even try to give some help once we enter the gym we went different directions. Our trainer and Jeremy worked together as I got my tension on the boxing area.
"I have something to tell you." I announce at dinner when we are both alone. "I'm going to Mystic Falls this weekend, there is a problem there if you want you can come."
"When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow at the end of the day and we return to New York in time for dinner of Sunday."
"It sounds nice. I will call Jenna to tell her." He tells me and I nod. "What happened?" He asks me and I explain everything.
Next day Jeremy and I were sitting on the plane as Jeremy watches the night view and I work on my computer.
"Are you sure you will be fine by yourself while I am in Settle?" I ask him again. I wasn't sure if leaving was the best but I really need to go and Jer promised me no parties or anyone at home.
"Yes besides Mrs. Judy is staying with us." He says, Mrs. Judy is our housekeeper who is staying while I am gone to keep an eye on my brother. "Besides you do need to work." He tells me with a smile and looks at the view again.
Once I get off the jet I see Damon waiting for us which is strange because I have my car waiting for me.
"Damon I told you I can drive home." I tell him pointing to my car.
"It's is not why I am here." He tells me with a face that I know brings bad news.
"It's Alaric?" I ask concern knowing how much the teacher means to everyone and I did like him too.
"No but." He says and looks at Jeremy. "Can you leaves us for a few seconds, I need to tell your sister something, you can put my things in my car." He tells and he nods when I am about to protest the look on Damon's face tells me not too. "Well… Bonnie and Elena were working together with Tyler and got to connect all the originals… What happens to one happens to all of them." He says and I look at him shocked and I feel something on my heart that I never felt put it was painfully. "Look they don't know that I know. You can make Bonnie spell goes off but do it fast because Finn it's the target." He tells me.
"Are you idiot. Damn it is should have told you sooner. If they die you all do too. The bloodline created by the original that it's killed will die if he does it too." He looks at me shocked. "I need to go fast." I tell him and he nods.
"I will drive Jeremy home." He tells me and I get to my car driving faster as possible (and my car can drive very fast) to Richmond which normally takes 1h and 15 minutes I have done it in 50 minutes. I park the car and get out opening the door to see the old lady looking at me surprised.
"I need your help Annie." I tell her urgently and she nods letting me come in.
"Thank you so much." I tell her hugging her. "How are you?"
"Good." She says and I barely hear her. You can't barely hear Annie's. She is a 78 years old lady who I known for a long time, she had a cancer a couple of years ago that affect her vocals but she survived and I was very happy about it. She leaves at the beach side where she just has like 4 houses closer but it was what she wants.
"You must rest and I really need to leave." I tell her and she nods. Once she is out of my view and I am in the car I call Damon.
"Hi" He says almost immediately.
"I did it." I tell him proud of myself.
"I know." He says and I noticed he didn't say it like he is very surprised.
"What happened?"
"They kill Finn." He tells me and I start to feel a huge pain in my heart. It's for him. Oh my god he can't be death. "You break the spell in time. They are all ok." He says and I found myself taking I deep breath that I didn't knew I was holding. "They don't really understand but what you said is true. Sage, Finn's girlfriend also died. I am telling the gang about it."
"Do it." I tell him and end the phone call and turn the car on.
Once again I break like 5 roles for the Highway Code if not more and I found myself in the front door of the Mikealson's once its open a surprised Rebekah opens the door and takes some steps back so she is in the entrance.
"Why are you here?" She asks with anger but not to many of it, I know she is sad, she just lost a brother even if they weren't close or speaking to each other so I hug her taking her once more by surprised and she hugs me back after a couple of seconds.
Elijah P.O.V.
Kol, Klaus and I walk home and I see a black car and I look confused.
"Who is it?" Kol asks.
"Black and expensive." Klaus says like he is thinking to himself. "I saw it before. I just don't know here." He says and we all walk to the front door and I see my sister barely inside the house being hugged.
"Thank you Dani." She says and I body turns to stone. Daniela it's in front of me, the person who has been on my thoughts 99% on the last 18 days. I fought myself so many times to go to New York but I didn't think she would want me too. They pull apart and Daniela looks at me and I get lost in her face and before I realized I am being hugged by her. She still smelled just like I remember and feels the same way. I could send her tensed over me but it was going away. She pulls apart and is as shocked as I am and I can see her fear. She blinks and looks at my brothers.
"Are you all ok?" She asks softly than usual. She is worry about us which is surprising.
"Surprising yes." Nic says. "Since we should be death."
"I kind of had something to do with it." She says a little constrained and we look at her perplexed.
"Why are you here?" My sister asks her.
"Damon called me and I came. Then he told me what happen and I went to Richmond." She tells and looks awkwardly at us and I see she doesn't walk to talk too much about it.
"Why don't we all go inside it passes midnight." I propose to everyone and Daniela looks at me just like I do to her.
"Great I really need a drink." Klaus says.
"That is two of us." They say but I don't hear anything else, I am more busy looking at Daniela, Now I realize why I didn't notice it has her right away. She isn't wearing her normal work clothes. She is in a pair of leggings and a tunic. She looked more like her age like this.
"I'm gonna go too." Rebekah says awkwardly and we both realize we aren't alone. She leaves and the two of us just stare at each other.
