Hey here's the next chapter I hope that all of you like it.
"Hey where are you?" I asked placing the phone to my ear.
"I'm sorry about not calling you back sooner, but I still need to work out a few things with a witch," Elijah answered. It felt so great to hear his voice again, god Abby stop it. You can't have feelings for this guy he's trying to get your own sister sacrificed! "You said we needed to talk?"
"What's going on with the sacrifice?" I asked only to be met with silence on the other end.
"Abby I can explain," he spoke, "Can you meet me tonight? I promise I'll tell you everything."
"Alright, when and where?"
"I'll find you. Be safe," then he hung up on me. I sighed before placing the phone back in my pocket. I really needed someone to talk to right now. My mind was spinning, my thoughts were all hazy, and most of all I felt like something bad was going to happen at any moment. I guess the whole sacrifice thing has me worked up at the moment.
"Hey Abby," I heard someone call out. I turned around to find John trailing behind me. "We hadn't had a chance to properly talk since you were sort of out of it last night. Who did that to you?" he asked.
"A vampire, duh, I thought you were smarter than that," I knew I was being mouthy, but I really didn't want to talk to him right now since he just spilled the beans to Jenna without our prior knowledge. I was about to turn around again only to see that he had jogged slightly in front of me.
"I'm serious," he said.
"I'm fine, it was just a rogue vampire who had a werewolf bit," I said trying to walk around him, but he was making that highly difficult. "Please move," I begged and tried to go the other way only to have him block me again. "I said I'm fine."
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you," he said fidgeting with his jacket. "None of us wanted you in the middle of this, and we wanted you to have a normal life." I scoffed at him.
"Yeah, and where did that get you," this time he didn't stop me when I stepped around him and started walking towards the Grill. When I turned back around I saw that John going over to talk to Mayor Lockwood at the memorial. For the first time in a long while I saw Bonnie, and I would've yelled out to her but she was already talking to some older guy. I don't know what it was, but I had a really bad feeling about that guy. He stared at me for a moment before walking over towards me so I turned around and started walking towards, well you got me I didn't know where I was going but I needed to get out of here.
What is with people and grabbing my arm these days? I turned around and was shocked to see the man right behind me, but unlike the others he let go of my arm so that I could face him without being forced. At least some people had manners.
"You must be Abigail," the man said, "I'm Jonas Martin a friend of Elijah's." he offered his hand and I hesitantly shook it.
"Are you a-?" I was beginning to ask, but I didn't really know how to say the word in public.
"No I'm not, I'm a warlock," he said. Taking one more look at me again he turned around and started leaving. "Just thought that I would introduce myself to the woman that Elijah is so fascinated in, good day Abigail." Just like that he was gone. I got to do exactly what I was supposed to do all day though. I went to the old antique shop, got another old journal to read, and started on my merry way home. Until I saw Caroline and Matt storming away from her.
"Caroline!" I yelled coming up next to her. She turned around ready to tell me off until she saw who I was.
"Oh my god Abby," she exclaimed giving me a big hug and pulling back to look me over. "Are you okay? Elena told me what had happened, when did you get back?"
"I'm fine and I got back two days ago," I responded before fidgeting with my fingers. "Hey, um, Caroline can we talk? With everything going on I feel like I need to get this all out, but Elena is busy, and I can't really talk to Jeremy about this."
"Of course we can talk!" Caroline said in her usual perky voice, "Why don't you come over to my place and we can talk about all of this, I have a few things that I need to get off my mind as well." I nodded my head and she went to unlock the door until a voice spoke from behind us.
"Excuse me?" We both turned around to see a tan woman with long sandy brown hair, "Hey Caroline right? So that must make you Abigail, do you know where I can find Tyler?"
"I don't know, sorry," I told the woman.
"Nope, not since earlier," Caroline added turning back around to her car.
"I know you're lying," the woman said and my eyes widened.
"What is that another one of your wolf tricks?" Caroline snapped at her and I gasped.
"Are you Jules?" I asked her.
"As a matter of fact it is," I had no idea if she was talking to either Caroline or me. Caroline turned around and faced her car not really moving. Jules walked away while a man appeared out of nowhere and started to move closer to us.
"Well I have a few tricks of my own," the man pulled out a gun just as Caroline was turning around and I was yelling Caroline's name. The gunshot ran through my ears and I watched in horror as Caroline dropped to the ground.
"Caroline!" I yelled, but before I could do anything else the man swung the gun at me and I hit my head against the car door before I crumbled to the ground. The last thing I remember was the man leaning down and picking both Caroline and me up.
Then nothing.
xXx
I woke up to two people talking to each other. Their voices were really loud and really annoying right now because the only thing I wanted to do right now was cradle my throbbing forehead and go back to sleep. My eyes opened just a little bit to see that I was in a cage. Panic surged through my body as I jumped back almost too quickly for my liking because my forehead screamed at me making me groan and clutch my forehead. When I looked back up again I saw a man that I had never seen before, sitting in a chair on the opposite side of the room.
"Hm, I wonder if you're one too," he said mostly to himself. He took a miniature water gun out of his pocket and squirted it at me. The only pain I felt was discomfort from being sprayed. "Interesting," the man muttered.
"Are they awake?" I heard a familiar female voice ring through the air. I turned and saw Jules standing in a small doorway. Was I in a trailer?
"Just one, a human," the man said to her. "What should I do with her?" he then took the real gun and started twirling it in his fingers. I crawled to the other side of the cage until I ran into something. I turned around and screamed again seeming Caroline lying there with a bullet in her forehead.
"Caroline!" I shouted shaking her, trying to get her to wake up. Her head only rolled over to the other side and she showed no sign of being awake. "What did you do to her?" I shouted. The man sighed and pointed the gun at me.
"No fatal wounds," Jules said to the man, "We need this one alive." He nodded and pointed the gun at me. A scream and a shot erupted in the air and echoed throughout the entire camper. It took a few moments for me to realize that the scream was mine and the shot was a gunshot. Pain erupted in my leg and tears started to make their way down my face when I saw the blood pouring out of the wound. Funny, I almost die twice in two days when Elijah isn't around. Oh god where was Elijah? I whimpered at the pain bringing my leg to my line of sight to look at it.
A gasp erupted around me but I only turned to see Caroline screaming and trying to get the bullet out of her head. When she succeeded in getting the bullet the man only smirked at her.
"I see you're awake, you know I have a lot of these wooden bullets," he said twirling the gun around again before pointing it and shooting her shoulder. We both screamed only hers was in more pain, and mine was in more shock and terror.
"Stop, please!" I yelled just as Jules came back into the room holding a phone.
"He needs proof," she said sounding a little annoyed. Who was she talking to? The man took the gun and looked between Caroline and me before pointing the gun at my again. The shot made my ears go deaf for a moment along with my scream of agony. Jules walked out of the trailer with the man trailing closely behind her leaving Caroline and me alone.
"Abby? I'm going to help you okay just hold still," I nodded through my sobs and when Caroline started digging through the tissue to get the bullets out I screamed so loudly that I think people back in Mystic Falls heard it. "It's okay Abby just hold on," she said moving on to the other leg. I tried to muffle my screams and sobs by placing my fist in my mouth. Only I had bit my fist hard enough for it to break the skin and for it to bleed only slightly.
"Can't you use your strength or something to break the bars?" I begged her, but she shook her head. Another sob escaped my lips. For a while all we did was sit there until we heard voices from outside. "What's going on?" I asked.
"I don't know," Caroline said. More noises were made until someone came stumbling into the trailer. I squeaked and hid from the person immediately thinking that it was the man again.
"Tyler!" Caroline cried rushing to the bars of our cage, "Hurry there's a latch, Abby's bleeding out." For a second I saw Tyler hesitate before rushing over to us and working on the latch. The second it was open Tyler took Caroline and helped her out before looking towards me. He picked me up and studied my legs for a moment before helping me limp outside. I was pretty sure that he was just dragging me because I'm pretty sure that I couldn't feel my legs anymore. I had no idea if they were broken or what was going on I just knew that I probably couldn't walk on them anymore.
When the three of us got out of the camper I saw a full fight taking place with a whole lot of, I'm assuming, werewolves versus Damon and Stefan. To my surprise it appeared that the brothers were winning. Until one werewolf got the best of Stefan and was about to stake them and Damon was starting to get outnumbered. In a flash I turned my head and saw that Jules had Caroline pinned up against the trailer with a gun pointed at her back where I knew her heart was.
"No stop, Tyler help her," I could've said it more forcefully but when I tried to take a step with my own legs I saw black spots and almost fell to the ground if Tyler hadn't caught me. Jules dropped clutching her head in pain, and when I looked around sure enough all the other vampires were clutching their head screaming in pain. My eyes widened when I saw Jonas coming up from the clearing holding his arms out and chanting something in another language.
Stefan got up and helped Damon get a stake out of his back before they all turned back to Jonas with confusion written on their faces.
"Elijah made a deal with Elena, I'm here to see that it's upheld," he said before walking over to Tyler and me and taking me out of Tyler's arms and picking me up. "Elijah wants to see her, but the rest of you better be going on your way. When your friends wake up tell them to leave town."
"No not without Abby," Caroline and Stefan growled together.
"I believe that none of you have that option believe me when I say that she will be delivered back to her home tomorrow, but right now Elijah wishes to see her," Jonas said before walking away from them and not giving them the option to fight back.
"Thank you," I muttered softly as he placed me in a car.
"You're welcome," he said, "Try to stay strong okay? You'll be back with Elijah in a few minutes." I nodded my head and rested my head on the window.
Elijah pov
I was practically pacing through the entire apartment waiting for Jonas to come back with Abby. I knew that it was stupid for me not to go and get her, but Jonas had suggested against it saying that he could get the job done quicker and better. He was correct Jonas had more capability to take out an army of werewolves faster than he could. The second I heard the door open I rushed over to their side and saw Jonas holding Abby in his arms. I was disgusted when I saw the two bullet wounds in each of her legs.
"I took some of the pain away for her, but other than that both of her legs are broken," Jonas said handing her over to me.
"Thank you Jonas," I told him honestly and stroking her hair softly.
"Elijah?" She stumbled opening her eyes slightly before chuckling, "Why do I always almost die without you?" I smirked before a frown appeared on my face. What had also happened that she almost died? I took her back into the apartment and laid her down on the couch with me before biting into my wrist.
"Come on Abby," I said encouragingly when she had turned her head away from my wrist, "It will make you feel better okay?" she bit her lip and I guided her head down to the wound on my wrist. When she started drinking I couldn't help but feel a shiver of pleasure run through my body. When she had taken enough I took my wrist away and she turned so that she could place her head down on my chest.
"Don't think I'm not done with you. You're still in trouble for not telling me about the sacrifice," she said into my shirt.
"I know," I told her stroking her hair, "We can speak in the morning sleep now." I felt her snuggle into my body before shutting her eyes. I listened until her heartbeat started to slow down rapidly until it had turned even telling me that she was asleep. I leaned down and kissed her forehead soothingly before getting up with her still in my arms. I left the apartment building before speeding back over to her house and speeding again through the house until we were both safely in her room. I placed her on her bed and pulled the duvet over her shoulders making sure that she was situated before I actually took the time to look around her room.
The walls were a cream color slight black rose patterns randomly scattered around the room. She had a black dresser on the far side of her room and another black vanity next to her window much like Elena. There was also a black carpet just next to her bed that covered only a small percentage of her wooden floor. All around her peg board were pictures and certificates from academic achievements. I looked back at her after reading her 'Historical Events Nation Championship 2009' that would've been last year. There were some other things on her board like a picture of her and her parents together when she was younger and a picture of her and Elena. Elena was in her cheerleading uniform while Abby had a 'I'm geeky and I know it' shirt. She seemed so happy in that picture.
"Elijah?" I heard Abby groan from the bed. In an instant I was right next to her ready to see if anything was wrong, or if for some reason my blood wasn't working and we needed to go see a doctor.
"Is everything alright, are you okay?" I asked her.
"Yeah I'm fine, but why didn't you tell me about the curse?" I hated that she had a hurt expression on her face and that I had caused it.
"I didn't want you getting yourself caught up in that," I told her truthfully taking a strand of her hair and pushing it away from her face looking into her brown eyes. "I couldn't live with myself if you died."
"Is she going to die?" Abby choked out looking fearful for her sister. I shook my head though.
"No I have a way for her to come back to life," I assured her. Abby relaxed against my touch before scooting over and pulling the covers over.
"Can you stay tonight? Please," she asked looking at me. I shrugged out of my suit jacket and rolled up the white sleeves so that I could crawl in next to her. Reaching over Abby I turned off the small light of the lamp and we both settled down. Moonlight was shining in from the window giving the room a small glow, but other than that we were surrounded by silence. I held her in my arms while her head was resting on my chest again. Everything felt perfect at the moment. I forgot everything about my brother so that it was just Abby snuggling into me. I held on to her tightly as if she was going to disappear if I let her go, but for some reason I knew she wouldn't. I felt something for her, something I hadn't felt in a long time. Even with Elizabeth it was different. I had come to believe that I loved her, but my love for Elizabeth is nothing compared to how much I feel for Abigail right now. When I had heard she had been taken by the werewolves I had completely, what's the word for it, flipped out on Jonas demanding that he get her back.
"Elijah?" she whispered in the darkness.
"Yes?"
"I-I, never mind. Goodnight Elijah," she said quickly turning around obviously embarrassed about something. Instead of thinking about it I just wrapped my arms around her and brought her back to me so that her back was pressed up against my chest.
"Goodnight Abby," I whispered into her ear until we both fell asleep.
-Should I have someone catch them?-
-Meanwhile at the tomb-
Third person
"I want out of this tomb, John," Katherine croaked still feeling weak from blood loss. She hadn't told anyone else, but there was something else she wanted something much more valuable than her freedom.
"I'm already on that," John said.
"And Abigail?" She asked. John raised his eyebrow in confusion why would she be interested in his youngest daughter.
"What do you want with Abigail?" John asked more than ready to drive a stake through her heart if she came anywhere near Abigail.
"I've been waiting for almost half a millennium for her, John. I need her."
"Why?"
"She looks like my sister, and I miss my sister."
Abby pov
When I woke up the next morning I woke up to someone giggling. I rolled over and buried my head in Elijah's shirt trying to block out the sound.
"It's too early for this," I mumbled.
"I'll say," a voice said from the doorway. Both Elijah and I jumped up almost instantly to see that Jenna was waiting in the doorway. I pulled the duvet over both of our shoulders, even though we were both fully clothed, with my face flushing a bright red.
"Morning Jenna," Elijah mumbled clearly as embarrassed as I was.
"Care to explain what you're doing in my niece's bed, Elijah?" Jenna asked leaning in the doorway with a smug smile on her face. I could tell that she was very amused by catching us.
"Elijah came over last night to look over some journals, it was late and I guess we both fell asleep," I mumbled.
"Uh huh, and where are all of the books and journals you were looking through?" my face was bright red and I could practically feel the amusement radiating off of Elijah.
"How often do you have Alaric over here?" I countered. It was Jenna's turn to blush and flush and my turn to smirk at her. "I'll forget if you do," I told her. Jenna chuckled before shutting the door. I turned around so that I was facing Elijah who still had a smirk on his face. "We just got caught," I mumbled into his chest causing him to chuckle this time. I felt his lips brush over my forehead before he pulled away and started getting out of the bed. I groaned and pulled the covers over my body again.
"Come on it's time to wake up," Elijah said taking the covers off of me again. "I have to attend a tea party today."
"So it has nothing to do with me," I told him trying to take the covers once again, but he wouldn't budge. "You have stupid strength." I mumbled sitting up and rubbing my eyes.
"Would you like to accompany me?" Elijah asked semi hopefully sitting down next to me and rubbing my shoulders.
"Come on I almost died, don't I deserve a day of rest?" I mumbled again. He chuckled pulling his arms around me and kissing my forehead lightly.
"It will be extremely boring without you there," he tried again nudging me slightly. "You want to spend the day with your uncle/father? Who will no doubt lecture you about spending the night with an Original?"
"Only if he finds out," I told him finally getting off of the bed.
"ABIGAIL!" I heard someone shout from downstairs. I went over to my door and locked it before taking a pair of jeans and a violet V-neck and walking into the bathroom to change. When I came back out after brushing my hair and teeth Elijah had somehow changed into a dark black suit for the day and was ready to go. Of course there was also a lot of pounding on my door.
"I'll meet you there," Elijah said. I blinked and he was gone. Finally I went to the door and opened it to reveal a fuming John on the other side.
"Why did Jenna say that she found Elijah in your room?" he asked me walking in without my permission. I opened my mouth to give the same excuse I had given to Jenna just to calm him down but he held up his hand in a 'don't even say it' look. "Do not say that you were looking over journals."
"He healed me last night and I didn't want him to leave, is that so wrong?" I snapped.
"He's an Original, you can't trust Elijah," John said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a black sweater and putting it on.
"I trust him, okay," I said and started to walk down the stairs.
"And that's what going to get you killed," John said walking down the stairs making me stop. "You trust to easily." I didn't say anything when I grabbed my bag and walked out the door towards my car that Elena had driven back for me, and headed towards the Lockwood tea party. It was already in full swing when I got there, and I'm horrified to say that the first thing I saw was Damon kissing the news lady Andie Star.
"Come on Damon," I whined walking up next to him. He smirked and slung an arm around my shoulder pulling me close, "Do you have to do that in public, its sick."
"Just a distraction, you know you're my favorite," Damon smirked.
"Better watch out Damon, but Abby's already spoken for," Jenna spoke up smirking at me when my eyes widened. I shook my head at her frantically praying that she wouldn't mention anything about finding Elijah with me this morning.
"Really, who did Abby rope in?" Damon asked slight confusion in his eyes.
"Elijah Smith small town writer," Jenna smirked and a frown appeared on Damon's face, "He's right over there talking to Mayor Lockwood Abby." Sure enough Elijah was over there talking to Mayor Lockwood mostly about his book most likely. Jenna left and I was about to walk over to Elijah only to be stopped by Damon who pulled me into another room.
"Damon-," I started but he cut me off.
"No you don't get to speak," he said pacing back and forth, "When did you start liking Elijah?"
"We're just-."
"Don't say that," he snapped. "Why don't you know that he's trying to kill Elena?"
"No he's not, they're just drawing them out together," I pleaded with him. The frown suddenly disappeared off his face and the smirk came back.
"So you have a crush on an Original?" oh god.
"Damon," I said warningly as we walked back out and he was looking over at Elijah, "please don't do anything stupid," I begged him. He and Stefan were like brothers to me and I don't think I could live if they died.
"I'm just going to go introduce myself to your crush," I groaned because I knew Elijah could definitely hear us right now. I was going to kill Damon later. Just take a stake and shove it right up his-.
"Damon," Carol greeted with a smile, "Abby, what a surprise."
"Hey Carol," I replied and almost gagged when Damon kissed her cheek.
"Elijah I want you to meet Damon Salvatore, he's one of Mystic Falls founding families. And Abby will probably know more than any history book you'll ever read," Carol introduced us to Elijah. He only smirked at Damon, but actually smiled at me before taking my hand and giving it a light kiss.
"I've already had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Gilbert," I blushed, "and Damon it's a pleasure to meet you." The two men shook hands and I was waiting to see which one was going to break the other's arm first. It was like watching an intense match between the two to see who would back down first.
"Elijah," I said trying to get them to not start a fight in the middle of the tea party, "Did you see the Mystic Falls heritage display?" I offered my hand to him and he happily took it so that I could lead him away from Damon. I couldn't have them killing each other.
"Heritage display?" Elijah smirked against the doorway that we had stopped in.
"I couldn't have you too killing him," I whined, "I swear you too are like children."
"Abby," I heard someone call out. Oh great, I groaned when I saw John walking towards me.
"Hide me," I groaned to Elijah, but he only smirked before leaving me on my own.
"Some protector you are!" I called out. He waved his hand back at me and when I turned around I saw that John was standing only inches from me. I gasped in surprise and put my hand over my chest. "You all really need to stop doing that, one day I'm going to get a heart attack."
"What's Damon doing with Elijah?" I frowned and looked around, but I didn't see either of them around anymore. "Why are you even here with him?"
Three lectures in one day I'm sure that this would be a record.
Wow that was almost five thousand words! Hope it was worth the wait. Please update.
Love to all.
