Hey guys the reason this chapter doesn't have much of Damon and Stefan and of course Elena is because I really wanted to get to the part where sylara meets up with katerina and Klaus mwhaaa, I'm evil …anyway this chapter fades between Elijah's and sylaras POV…let me know what you think
I wanted to sleep and never wake up from this beautiful dream that I had entered. I was wrapped in warm cotton blankets with the sun streaming in threw the window. I had forgotten to close those as I winced from the sudden bright light. I went to push the blankets aside wanting to close the curtains, but I was suddenly pulled back into a strong chest. Moaning at the feeling of his lips trace over my new bite mark placed on my throat just below my jaw.
"Elijah…" I teased turning in his arms so that I could face him, his eyes slightly opened, but I could tell he was still sleepy. It made me giggle at how a vampire like Elijah could look so fragile and adorable when they slept. I brushed a strand of hair from his face. Elijah and I had made love last night and the way we held each other now, just made it all the more perfect.
"You awake yet..." smiling as his eyes began to close once more, I didn't know vampires got so tired from sex. You would think they had a lot more energy than this.
"No…" he mumbled pulling me closure to let his nose nuzzle into my neck. I laughed at his sudden change in energy.
"You sure you're up my little vampire..." I nipped at his ear only to listen to the growl that vibrated from his toned chest
I didn't even blink before I found Elijah on top of me once more, his body flushed against mine. I blushed as I realized I was still as naked as he was. I began to pull the covers over me only to have Elijah stop me, his eyes watching me intently. He didn't have to say a word before I found myself leaning up to kiss his delectable lips. I didn't need to hide from this man; he had seen everything I had to give him. It was like a sudden weight had been lifted off my shoulders as I kissed him. I didn't have to hide my past anymore or my fears, he knew them all. But I still didn't know about him.
"Elijah…" I didn't have to finish before he pulled away to sit up against the bed post his eyes glancing away from me. I moved to sit next to him, pulling the blanket over us. "I'm not afraid of your past…"
He sighed against me as I nuzzled into his neck, trying to sooth him, if only a little. I pulled away long enough to watch him puzzle over his words.
"I grew up in eastern Europe with my father and mother, along with my six siblings."
"Were you human…?" to imagine Elijah as a human seemed impossible and yet I could imagine young Elijah playing games with his younger siblings. I tried to imagine his other siblings with similar eyes and hair, it made me smile.
"Yes we were."
"How did you become vampires...?" I found myself asking, but he only shook his head before turning to me his hand moving to caressing my cheek.
"That story must wait for another time sylara…" I moved to protest but Elijah stopped me.
"If you must know, we are the oldest living vampires in existence."
I blinked at his words, Elijah had grew up in Europe like I had as a child, but Elijah was a vampire and seemed older.
"How old are you..?" I knew it was rude to ask, but I needed to know. Elijah chuckled before he turned to me. "I know it's rude, but I just can't help to ask."
"We have lost track of our exact age, but those who fear us, know us as "the originals""
I pushed my brows together in confusion; it was hard to imagine Elijah being feared by anyone. But then again he was a vampire.
"The originals"
"We are considered the oldest vampires in existents, there after vampires emitted from us."
I paused as I took in this information in. so Elijah was one of the oldest vampires in the world and he was most likely the father to all vampires.
"…" I didn't know how to respond to his statement.
"Sylara…" he whispered into my ear, making me turn to face him.
"You can turn us into vampires…" he nodded at me leaning closure to nip at my shoulder but I pulled away from him.
"Could you turn me…?" Elijah didn't respond for a long moment before moving closure to me. This time I didn't pull away as his mouth claimed mine in a soft kiss before he pulled away.
"No, I wouldn't want this for you..." I smiled at his tone, a part of me was sad that he didn't want me to become like him, but another part didn't want to think about even becoming a blood thirsty killer. I wanted to change the subject; the image of that girl came to my mind.
"Elijah, tell me about katerina..." I did not look at him as I pulled myself closure wanting to comfort him, but I could feel him tense against me. "If you do not wish to tell me…"
"She reminded me of someone…long ago." He spoke softly into my hair as he held me close. "At first she reminded me a lot of her, and for a time….my human half that I had pushed aside, began to resurface."
I turned to look up at him my chin resting on his chest. He had never spoke like this before so I listened intently
"Vampires, when they are turned, their emotions are heightened extremely." He looked down at me before he looked out the window behind me. "So we have a choice to feel the emotions that we were born with or to shut them off completely."
I could only imagine what path Elijah chose. I took his hand in mine caressing it lovingly, I knew he was watching me do this as he continued to speak.
"For a time I began to care for katerina, but not the same way as I care for you…" I smiled glad he added that particular part, although I could sense it some how that he was telling me what I wanted to hear.
"What happened to her…?" the hand that I was caressing tensed in my hold before it moved to caress my cheek and pull me once more to kiss his lips. His grip was hard and kiss demanding and longing. I sighed against him as he held me close to him, this was my Elijah. Elijah wasn't the type of man to talk about himself or talk about his feelings. But I loved how he opened his heart to me still.
"I know there's a lot more to this than what you're telling me…" I glanced back up at him to see his eyes watching me with curiosity. "I can wait for a little while longer." I teased. Elijah only chuckled at my words before gripping a fist full of my hair and kissing me, his fangs nipping at my bottom lip.
He pulled away to place a soft kiss on my cheek before moving down to my neck. My neck was still sore from the night but after Elijah had given me more of his blood I felt better than ever. Unfortunately his blood didn't heal my sore body.
" Are you sore..?" he questioned. I nodded before moving to sit up once more with him moving to sit next to me.
"Just a little though…" I glanced back at him and watched his eyes move to my lower body. "I'll be fine."
He nodded before moving to stand, my head tilted as I watched him retrieve a pair of folded pants on the chair. My eyes' landing on his bottom
"I like this view a lot…"
Elijah paused as he turned to face me, a hint of lust immediately set in his eyes as he pulled on his pants but never fully buttoning them all the way. I blushed as he moved toward me, his eyes changing to a slight red.
"Really…?" I went to move away from him, but he immediately pulled me back his body leaning over me once more. Damn him.
"I'd thought you'd like …" I moaned as he spread my legs and placed himself between them, his hands teasing my inner thigh. "This view instead…"
I had no idea where my sudden urges were coming from but the way he hovered over me and the way he looked at me, made me feel like a real woman for once in my life. He didn't judge me for my scares, for my odd looks, he only saw me.
Elijah could be cruel at times, but I wasn't backing down. Letting my hands moved to cup the back of his head letting my fingertips play in his brown locks. He growled against my lips as I pulled my legs down to wrap around his waist.
"I think I like this better."
His lips were on my so fast, his body pushing me down once more onto the mattress as he moved to take his pants off once more. But we both paused at the sudden knock coming from the door.
"Sir Elijah there is a man here to see you…" Sarah's voice came from the other side. Elijah immediately moved from me to his closet, grabbing a fresh set of clothes to dress in. I moved to grab my dress but Elijah grabbed his old shirt and pulled it over my small frame.
"Put this on…" I wanted to protest, but he didn't wait for me to answer as he moved with quick hast down the stairs "Thank you…" I sighed.
Sarah moved inside toward me. For a moment I felt embarrassed and yet I only held my head up high and smiled at her.
"Good morning Sarah, did you sleep well." Sarah smiled back and nodded before pulling me off into the hallway, but this time she took me to the room next to ours. I mean Elijah's room.
"Sense you have decided to spend the night with Lord Elijah I have taken the liberty to draw your bath." I blushed at her words but I didn't mind as I followed. The bathroom was something I wasn't expecting; unlike his bedroom which was naturally dark and had been messy the bathroom was stunning. The bathroom was small with the tub placed against the far but to me it was huge. I had never seen a wash place located inside the room before as I took note of it next to me.
"Sir Elijah tends to want the best for the house…" I turned toward Sarah and wanted to ask if her house was similar but bit my tongue. It was rude to ask, but Sarah only smiled back at me.
"Christopher's too small to fit in the bath; Sir Elijah installed a wash area and health bathing area for him." I smiled; Elijah did care for that little boy, even though he never showed it.
My eyes softened at the mentioning of his family. I had wanted to ask more about his siblings but even I knew better then to ask about family matters. Elijah still had a lot of secrets that he had yet to tell me. But I didn't want to worry about it, not now when everything seemed so great.
It was then that the full frontal of what we had done came to me.
"Oh no!"
"Are you alright milady?"
"My mother is going to be furious…" the thought hadn't crossed my mind that my mother would be worried, but that she would be upset at my choice. Sarah patted my shoulder for comfort, but my mother's wrath wasn't what I was worried about at the moment, it was my father.
Elijah POV
I paused at the sight before me. The emotions that I had showed sylara no longer existed in this moment, my face completely strained of emotion as I looked at the man before me.
"Hello brother…"
I placed my hands in my pocket as I walked over to the door. He stood taller then I, his hair as long and curled as it had been all those years ago.
"What brings you here Niklaus…?"
Klaus, my vampire brother, who held arrogance to him that, reminded me of our father. He had always been an arrogant man who got everything he desired. There was nothing he didn't want, but there was only one thing he desired more then anything else that seemed impossible to get. The moon stone and a doppelganger.
He only smiled at me, his eyes shifting around the house.
"Tell you're human to invite me in brother, so we could have a nice long chat…." His eyes glanced dangerously to the top of the stairs. "Maybe even a drink."
"I'm afraid I am busy at the moment brother…." I stated calmly taking note that his eyes watched me then moved toward the stairs.
"Entertaining a quest…" he sniffed the air around me, before sighing. "She smells divine"
I moved with quick speed to stand before Klaus, his body still leaned up against the door in a relaxing manner while I stood before him.
"Brother…"
Klaus eyed me then glanced up at the stairs before he chuckled. "You would choose a human over your own brother Elijah..." Klaus moved to stand tall. "Remember how that worked so well last time."
"Careful brother…" I growled threateningly as he paced back and forth in the door way.
"Enough chatter, I must speak with you tonight…" he became slightly serious, but Klaus always had a way of making everything a game.
"And what would that discussion include." I wanted to speak outside, but Klaus would not move away from the door, his eye continuing to look back up the stairs.
"I'll give you a hint…" he paused as he looked me in the eye. It became clear the moment he had arrived.
"You found her…" I whispered feeling my fangs sudden inch forward. "Where…"
He shook his head and chuckled at me.
"You'll have to come and see…" Klaus teased moving away from the door. I growled at his words.
"I'll meet you in the city, brother…" I moved to shut the door, but Klaus stepped forward his body dangerously close to the barrier.
"You sure you don't want me to come in brother…" his eyes turning red, but I only glared back at him.
"I'll meet you tonight" was all I said before I shut the door on him. My brother would lurk around for a time, but I would have sylara leave as soon as possible. I sighed at the smell of her. I hadn't realized it but her scent was all over my body, even though my new clothes covered most of it. It was probably the reason Klaus had been so insistent of coming inside. I would keep Klaus away from sylara. I had learned long ago that most females were drawn to my brother for more than one reason, he loved to compel them.
I moved back upstairs pausing as Sarah exited the bathroom.
"Is she well?"
"Yes she has healed…" I went to move toward the door but paused as I turned toward Sarah.
"Do not invite him in; keep your family inside the main house for the next few days."
Sarah was a powerful witch, but she had yet to comprehend her true powers so it was best to keep her safe. She was the owner of the house, only she could invite vampires in. I needed her alive.
Sarah nodded before she moved back down stairs, giving me time alone with sylara. I smirked as I entered the bathroom to see her tying her corset and pulling on her dress. Her skin shimmering in the sunlight do to her damped skin. I paused as an image moved through my mind.
Of her long wet curls dampening down her back as she moved to brush each string tenderly with her fingertips. Drops of water moving down her chest down the front of her corset.
I growled at the memory of katerina petrova, she would pay for everything that has happened since our last encounter. But what frustrated me more was how similar katerina and sylara were in appearance, they didn't look at all alike, but it was her eyes that troubled me. Katerina was weak and frail was sylara stood strong and brave.
My fangs began to form themselves inch by inch as I watched sylara run her fingertips through her hair. I had fed last night, but with Klaus sudden appearance I felt the sudden need to take her once more.
"Is everything alright…?"
I glanced back to see her looking back at me her hands still tangled in her locks. She reminded me of a child trying to fix her hair up to impress her suitor, I growled at the thought. I nodded before moving toward her, letting my hands tangle into her long curly brown locks. Unlike her family she had dark brown hair that curled in random spots.
I found myself running my nose through it, her scent reminded me of fresh tress where I grew up as a child. I heard a soft giggle.
"I can't tidy up Elijah if you keep tangling yourself in my hair…" she laughed at me, any mortal would fear and tremble at my presence. This girl was not afraid of me, not after last night. Sylara had opened herself to me in hopes I would do the same. My human self-felt the need to open to this woman but the vampire inside had long learned never to trust a human, not after katerina.
"Elijah..." her soft hands caressed my cheek pulling me back into reality as I looked down into her features. "what troubles you…?"
I could feel the words at the tip of my tongue, but I dared not speak them as I leaned forward and kissed her forehead. As a human my mother did this to me as a sign of comfort.
"Why do i feel human with you…?" I had whispered those words aloud not realizing I had done so until she pulled me closure to her. Her lips connecting with mine in a soft kiss. I could taste her, the smell of her blood pumping loudly through her veins.
"I love you Elijah…." I sighed at those words. She repeated them so often but they brought my human memories back to me. This woman had a strange effect on me, I had spoken more to her about my past then I did to other familiars around me. This was someone I wanted to protect, and Klaus would not take her from me.
"Tilt your head..." I whispered letting my lips trail down her chin to the base of her throat feeling her pulse quicken under my lips. She did not protest as I wrapped my arm around her waist while the other caressed her neck to hold it in place. The feeling of her hand moving to grip gently at my shoulder while the other moved to tangle in my hair. Any other human would have been panicking but she remained limp in my arms as I opened my moth over her throat. My fangs piercing into her neck letting the blood sip into my mouth.
She gasped but did not move as I lapsed up the blood, careful not to let it slip down her body. Her blood had tasted sweet when she was pure, but that had long changed as I tasted it now. I could taste my blood, how it lingered in her body and yet seemed erotic to taste from her.
"Elijah. Gently…"s she moaned into my side. Her gripped tightened suddenly making me aware of what I was doing. My grip had tightened, the burning in the back of my throat still lingering as I pulled away. I had bitten deeper into her neck then I normally would.
"Forgive me…" I panted as I looked down at her once more, but she only shook her head before moving to kiss me once more. I had tasted woman before, but to taste her own blood on her lips heightened my senses of her immediately. I wanted to clean her neck of the blood that currently slipped down, but I dare not trust myself at the moment. I had never lost control of my urges; buy sylara was making it difficult. Before I could react she pulled away.
"I must return home Elijah." I growled at the thought.
"I ask that you stay." I watched as she moved to grab a clean towel wiping the blood off her mouth and her neck before moving toward me.
"You know I mustn't…my mother will throw a fit…" she smiled moving to wipe the blood from my lips as my mother had once done long ago. I took her hand in my gently squeezing it. I knew she feared her father, but i had compelled him not to lay a hand against her, she had no need to fear him.
"Reconsider sylara..."
Sylara watched me for a long moment before tilting her head ever so slightly. I knew she did not wish to return and I could compel her to stay. Now that I thought more of it, I had not compelled sylara since the day I first encountered her.
"Then let me send a messenger to my mother, so as not to worry her…" I nodded, a part of me relieved and yet amused that she had chosen a vampire over her own kind.
"I must leave for a short time sylara so I will return late this evening sylara…" I stated knowing that Klaus would keep me up till dawn if he so wished for it.
"Shall I wait for you then…?"
I nodded. She needed to remain here protected and safe from my brother. I moved to let her dress only to have her pull me back her arms snagging around my neck and waist.
"You still have time, love…." she nipped at my chin her fingertips entangling in my hair. I chuckled at her knew found boldness. She was shy at times, but her new ability to catch my attention was starting to interest me more.
"What would you like to do then…" lifting her up so that her legs wrapped around my waist. Her eyes widened for a moment, her heart beat quickening at my sudden fast movements, but if she was to remain at my side as a mortal she would become accustomed to my needs as a vampire. Her reaction only made me chuckle. She smiled before she lifted an eyebrow in question at me.
"I can think of a few things…"
Sylara's POV
I awoke to find myself lying peacefully in Elijah's bed with his blankets fully wrapped around my body. Elijah must have left long ago for the side of his bed was now cold and lifeless.
I paused as I glanced up at the window to see the sun setting behind the trees. My mother would be angry with me but I didn't care as I lay comfortably on the bed, my thoughts completely distracted.
Elijah and I had connected in an entirely different way. I no longer held anything back from him; it was up lifting and free. I felt a new thrill opening up inside of me, like a caged animal finally being released. Elijah had slowly made love to me over and over again not wanting to leave as he held me close, kissing his way down my body. I had never thought that I would meet a man that would love me for me; my father had mauled my body with scar's and bruising that no man would ever find me attractive. Then Elijah came along and saw no flaws, just me. I shivered at the memory of him only moments ago behind me kissing his way down my back. Of course I wanted to turn away from his eyes, my back still held lashings from my father, scars that I could never heal. But Elijah held me in place as he kissed each scar tenderly letting his body filled me.
I moaned at the memory of him. That had happened early this afternoon, now night was setting and I was still wrapped in the bedding.
"Milady..." I glanced at the door to see Sarah pausing at the door. I beckoned her in wrapping the blanket around my chest as she brought a tray in. I glanced down to see a tray of fruits and a cup of freshly made tea.
"Thank you Sarah, you didn't have too…" yawning at the sudden need to sleep, but my stomach growled for food. Elijah must have remembered that my stamina wasn't as up to date as his.
"Sir Elijah wanted me to check on you before I retired for the evening." I looked up at her questioningly. But she only patted my head.
"Don't worry, Elijah will return later this evening, for now rest, eat and read anything you wish…"
Sarah had never left early before and a part of me wanted to question her, but she only placed my tray down on the desk before moving out of the room.
"Sarah..?"
"Oh, do not go outside at all this evening milady…" that certain was odd.
"Is something wrong…?" I question watching as Sarah waivered her options before she moved back towards me.
"Has Sir Elijah explained to you about the vampires…?" I shook my head. Sarah sat on the bed her hands clasped together before placing them in her lap.
"Sir Elijah is the oldest vampire that I know of, as you are well aware, many vampires fear him because of his age." I nodded; Elijah had explained earlier that the original vampires were the creators of all other vampires so many others feared him. "But Elijah is not the only original, there are others that are either the same age as him or older…"
I thought back to the mentioning of his siblings, but I continued to listen as Sarah continued.
"If any so choose they could take you and I, and even Christopher without any thought or fear of Elijah… but they cannot enter the house without being invited in."
"Wait. I thought vampires could just enter the house, Elijah entered mine the first day I met him."
"Vampires have to be invited in by either the owner of the house or a human that is why it is important for you to remain inside."
"Because vampires cannot enter a house, but wait Elijah owns this house..?" but Sarah corrected me with a shake of her head.
"Elijah may be the owner, but my name was placed on the deed, so only I, my sister, and son can allow entrance to a vampire."
Sarah moved to grab the necklace that Elijah had given me the night I had found out he was a vampire placing it in my hand.
"And wear this…"
"What is it…?"
"The necklace is purely silver, but the silver was melted with the plant vervain..." I was confused at her words.
"Vervain is a powerful plant that weakens vampires of their strength, even an original can be weakened for a time by this plant. Elijah had that made long ago and has given it to you."
I glanced down at the necklace moving it around in the palm of my hand. It was truly a beautiful necklace. I moved to place it around my neck tying it around my neck before turning toward Sarah.
"It will also keep you from being compelled by vampires as well…" I looked back up confused at her words.
"Compelled…?"
"Vampires can compel us to do their bidding, but the vervain..." she touched her wrist to reveal a silver bracelet around it. "Protects you from it.."
I puzzled over the thought, had Elijah ever compelled me, but I shook my head at the thought before I turned back toward Sarah.
"Won't you stay here tonight..?" I questioning, but Christopher and her sister lived in the other house and slept better there. Sarah shook her head.
"Sir Elijah wishes for us to remain here, but Christopher sleeps better in his bed, epically at night, besides can't have the dishes flying around the house at night."
I laughed at that thought. Christopher would become a powerful warlock. I had not known that witches even existed until Elijah explained what Sarah was. Although the floating baby boy in the kitchen had not eased my mind at the time.
"Please remain inside milady, and do not invite anyone in until sir Elijah has returned." I nodded agreeing with her on that one. I hadn't met other vampires yet and yet I wasn't eager to meet any either. I brushed my fingertips along my neck feeling the puncture mark still there. It had only hurt for a brief moment for Elijah was keeping my mind distracted of the pain.
After Sarah had left for the night I had dressed myself in one of Elijah old shirts knowing I would have to bath later that night so I felt no need to dress to fancy. Sarah had wanted to tidy the room before she left, but I had begged her not to. She had changed the sheets earlier today and did not wish for her to clean something that would just become dirty by tomorrow. I blushed at the thought before I moved to pull the sheets down on each end.
I pulled the thick cover on top pausing as I took note to a small piece of paper placed on the small table next to the bed. My better half thought better of reading it, but my new boldness got the better of me as I reached for the paper. At first I expected to see words but I only saw a picture of a woman sprawled out on the bed. At first it looked like katerina, but after a few moments I realized who it was.
"Me…"
I sat down running my fingertips along the parchment of paper. My body was sprawled on the bed with the white thick sheets wrapped around my curves, which he paid extra attention to. I took note of that. My hair lingered in a mess on the pillow; my hands wrapped underneath it while my cheek rest comfortably on the soft object.
"He must have drawn this while I slept…." I glanced down to see a small word at the bottom of the page.
"Never be afraid…." The word made little sense at the time but I only smiled as I placed the picture into the shirt pocket.
I cleaned the bedroom and moved downstairs toward the main room. I thought better of dressing due to the fact that I would not be leaving the house anytime soon. I had sent a messenger with a letter to my mother and father explaining that Elijah was not feeling very well and feeling obligated, I would stay and help him recover to his full health. Of course my mother and father would protest but if they wanted me to marry then they would not question me and my future husband.
I shook my head at the thought. I knew there was little chance that Elijah would ask me to marry him making my chest twinge a bit at the thought. It was clear that I was in love with Elijah, but I also knew something else.
Jumping onto the couch I reached for a blanket that I used most of the time, placing it on my lap before moving to grab a book.
Elijah was a vampire. An original vampire known to be stronger than the rest and even the creator of all vampires. He must have been over a thousand years old and here he was, with me. My mind raced with the new information that I had been given, but a part of me didn't want to think of the future, not yet. I was at that age that I need to be wedded to a man and to bare as many children as he requested, but Elijah made no such demands of me and I neither felt obligated to ask him.
I smiled at the thought of Christopher being an adopted child of mine; well he did throw books at me.
I sighed as I placed the book down and glanced toward the closed curtains. I had learned a little of Elijah's secrets, but we were a long way from being opened and honest couple that my family had wanted for me. I was living in the moment, wanting only what was best for me. If that meant staying by his side, a man who held me close, kissing each scar I held with such care and making sweet love to me all night and day, then what was wrong with being blissfully happy.
A sudden shiver ran down my spine. I traced my fingers over my necklace feeling suddenly relieved that Elijah had given me such a gift. It was then I sensed someone watching me. With quick movements I jumped from my seat and turned to the door way expecting Sarah or Elijah to scare me, but it was neither. My breath hitched in my throat as he stood in the door way a long blade in his hand.
"F..Father…"
Elijah POV
I watched carefully as Klaus walked back and forth on the balcony rail a smirk placed on his lips as he looked down at me.
"Oh. Don't look so down, Elijah…"
"You said you found her…" Klaus jumped down next to me clasping my shoulders.
"Relax Elijah…we have plenty of time…" he patted my shoulders before moving past me. Klaus had forgotten to mention that he had purchased a home for a time being and tonight was his welcoming party. I twitched at the smell of blood as woman swooned over my brother. It reminded me of the time when he would drain woman, and children leaving their corpses on the ground. Humans were lower than low in his word, it was something I had grown accustom too.
"Elijah…" I looked up to watch him move toward a slimming girl, her hair messed and tangled around her round face while her corset seemed to slipping down her body with each sway of her hips. Klaus took her hand and led her toward me.
"Would you like a taste brother.''
I glanced toward Klaus then at the girl, she was no older then 17, the smell of her blood young and pure, virgin blood. My throat burned but I only folded over my chest and turned toward Klaus who smuggle looked pleased.
"What is it you're trying to prove Klaus…"
"Come on brother.." he placed an arm around my neck and smiled. "You need to loosen up, and …try something new…"
I glared back at him but only shook my head.
"Brother I am not in the mood to play your games.." Klaus's grip tightened his lips moving to my ear.
"But brother I thought we could actually share this one…" I watched as his eyes turned their crimson red once more as he eyed the girl. I shook my head at my brother, he loved to play games with his victims.
It was then that I felt a shiver run down my spine, I glanced out toward the town below. This was strange I had never felt this before in all my years, not since I was human. Klaus eyed a light chuckle vibrating through him.
"What troubles you Elijah.."
I tried to ignore the feeling not showing anything to Klaus but another shiver brushed along my was then that I realized what I had been feeling, fear. I hadn't felt that since the day I became a vampire, but it wasn't my fear.
"Sylara…?" Klaus pulled away and smirked.
"Is that her name…" I didn't turn to answer as I left in that instant, something was wrong.
Sylara POV
What had happened to make him do this, what had made him change this much to do this. For weeks my father had made no threats, had not beat me, or hurt me in any way possible. What had changed so suddenly. He was not to return home until tomorrow and yet he had been standing there as clear as day. Why was he doing this.
It had all happened so fast. I had moved to run, to hide but I hadn't been fast enough. I could remember pausing, watching as he moved the blade between his hands. His eyes wide and far as if he we a crazed man.
"Father what are you…"
"How could you!" he yelled at me his eyes moving down. I blushed realizing I was wearing Elijah old shirt and nothing else but my undergarment. I moved to grab a blanket as he moved toward me.
"Father why are you here…"
"You wench!" he ran at me suddenly. His movements caught me off guard as he grabbed my arms. His grip made me wince in pain, I tried to push him away. It was then he threw me to the floor. I gasped at the contact of the hard floor but I instantly turned to face him, only remembering the most sinister look he gave me.
"Father what has become of you..?"
"You dare bed a man before your time…" I went to move but he only grabbed me by the back of my hair. I winced in pain as I tried to scratch and pull at the hand that held me.
"You whore!"
I felt the blade of the knife brush against my arm as he slashed against my arms. I gasped in pain, but was cut short as he threw me into the hallway my body colliding with a table.
"You're just like your mother!" I tried to stand but i gasped in more pain as he kicked me in the side, my side erupting in pain. He moved to kick me again but I grabbed his leg and tried to force him on his back but he only grabbed me by the hair once more and flung me on my back, my head colliding hard with the floor.
"You dare touch me you piece of filth!"
I watched in a few moments as he grabbed the knife and moved to throw it into my stomach. I moved quickly to my side before throwing my elbow into his rib cage catching him off guard. He gasped in pain, suddenly surprised at my sudden attack. This was different I wouldn't let him beat me like before, not this time.
In that moment I could remember moving to climb the stairs. There were bruises on my arms, feeling blood slip down to the floor as I climbed. I dared not get Sarah and Christopher into this. They were a part of my new family and I would not risk any of them getting hurt.
"Sylara…!"
I moved to the final step before something grabbed my ankle forcing me to hit the stairs hard. I weakly turned to see my father grabbing at me.
"Let me go!" I yelled back throwing my feet back to hit him in the cheek. He grunted in pain as he realized me.
As soon as I could I ran for the top of the stairs and moved for the bedroom. I slammed the door shut behind me, moving with quick haste to the dress and placing it in front of the door. I needed to hide, but there was no exit, not in here. The moon was the only light spreading into the room, so the darkness would be my allies. I grabbed Elijah black jacket and wrapped it around my body to help me hide in the darkness of the room.
My pants quickened as I heard my father slam into the other side of the door forcing the dresser back as it fell to floor. I flinched as he forced the door opened to reveal his estrange stricken face.
"Where are you!" he yelled as he moved toward the bed and looked underneath before slamming his fist into the floor.
"You whore, you're exactly like her…" his words made no sense to me. "You worthless..' he paused, his eyes moving to look straight at me. I leaned more into the wall, he couldn't see me, could he. He began to move toward me, which answered that. But I wasn't going down without a fight as he ran at me.
"You wench!"
"Aaahhh!" I threw the jacket just as his knife came down, I winced I pain as the knife connected to my arm cutting ever so slightly into the skin but I didn't let it hold me back. Dodging it quickly to run for the door but before I could reach it his hands latched onto my locks pulling me back.
" Father !" I cried out clawing back at him but he only threw me on the ground once more. It was then that he moved to hover over my body grabbing my hair once more to slam my skull into the floor. I gasped in pain, my head throbbed, and the room wouldn't stop spinning.
"You're a worthless whore, sylara…" my eyes slightly opened to see the knife move in front of me.
"F..Father…" something was wrong, my father was a worthless man, but this wasn't him.
"You are no daughter of mine.." my eyes widened at the sudden pain that entered my stomach. My vision turning dark as I watched him remove the blade and slam it down once again.
