Damon was rushing around his house now, John was on the living room floor while Elijah just stared and waited for answers. Trixie was smiling and pouring herself a drink as Elijah kept glancing to her but never once said a word. Damon was furious and as he came back down from his room he glared right at Trixie and rushed her. He was able to get his hand around her throat and slam her up against the wall but as she growled at him she flipped their positions and slammed him face first against the wall. He was cursing as Elijah walked over and watched with interest before Damon hooked his leg around Trixies and tripped her up, making them fall with her on her back and him facing her now pining her against the floor. She growled back to him as he bared his fangs and before he could actually bite her she threw him off of her and into a table that shattered into a thousand pieces of splintered wood. Damon was a bit confused as he just had the wind knocked out of him thanks to her flames but when Trixie was suddenly on top of him, straddling his hips with a splinted jagged piece of wood over his heart he froze and stared at her.
"Fucking attack me again and you wont be as lucky!"
"Where the hell is she!" Trixie smiled as she pressed the tip of the splintered wood to his chest and shook her head.
"All I know is she is needed right now but will be back. Dont you go worrying your little head about it, I got it covered."
"And Katherine! Where is she and the moonstone!" Elijah was now right beside Trixie and as she grinned again to Damon Elijah grabbed her by the arm and snatched her up and off Damon as he growled to her now. He was pissed after hearing the moonstone was missing but as Trixie tried to play innocent the front door bust wide open and an angry Stefan rushed in to glare at his brother.
"Isobel has her! We got to hurry before she moves and we lose her."
"Elena will be fine dammit!" They both stare at Trixie and as she sighs and snatches her arm from Elijah she fixes her hair as if she didnt have anything important to tell. Elijah rolled his eyes as he gently ran his hand around Trixie's neck and smiled before tightening his grip a bit on the back of her neck, letting her know he was getting upset with her.
"Now you and I both know you could hurt me. But until I understand whats going on around here behind my back, Im not so much worried about that. Would you just go ahead and tell me what you know Trixie before I loose patience?"
"Oh Elijah love, you were always the most sensible one. Fine! Isobel was compelled to take Elena but she assured me that no harm would come to her. I didnt stop her because if I did then Nik would know we are onto him and ready for him. Katherine, I dont know what is happening to her but the last thing Isobel said was that Nik needed her and the moonstone. Smart ass over there was supposed to have hidden it and made a fake one so I thought she found that one but apparently not with the way he just rudely hurt me. Katherine has the moonstone and soon Nik will have them both."
"Why did you let her do that Trixie! Thats the last thing we need!"
"No its the first! The moonstone is the main thing he needs for the change! If we still had it we would be in danger. Katherine wanted to leave anyways but she is being betrayed by Isobel. To me she got what she deserved. Our main thing, Elena, is missing yes but she will be back. I know it! trust me and for god sake dont keep things from me!"
"Like what!"
"Well for one Damon! Why didnt you ever tell me you hid the stone in the house! Why didnt you tell me also that you knew about the other sacrifice that needs to happen if we do kill Nik? HUH!" Damon glanced to Trixie as Elijah glared at Damon and Stefan.
"You never told her you knew?" Trixie crossed her arms as Damon shook his head and gasped at them as if he didnt understand what the hell they were talking about.
"Brother. The journals." Stefan pointed out how some of the journals they had collected in the living room were messed up and for the first time apparently Damon finally understood that Elijah and Trixie found in the journals that for the witch that has full powers to kill the half breed Niklaus, the witch would have to die as well.
"I didnt know."
"Bullshit! Thats why you were more for Bonnie doing the spell rather than me! You were going to let another witch sacrifice herself for your needs to keep this girl safe! You are keeping secret after secret behind your back from all of us and you are going to get mad at me for letting things fall into plan! Screw you Damon! Go try to find Elena! She'll be home before you know it and then you'll see whos on top of everything! It's certianly not you!" Trixie turned and walked towards the front door before Elijah caught up with her and walked with her outside leaving the two Salvatore brothers in shock as she left the house, the land and went into town. She needed space right now and she needed a drink too. She just walked and walked until she found a place and as Elijah joined her to make sure she didn't kill anyone she started to think about what she might have done and how she might not have made the right decision.
Elijah motions for the bartender t bring another round of drinks for them to their table and as Trixie downs her shot within a second Elijah smiles. Trixie notices around them there seems to be no one there and when she sees a pool table that had three kids tops she figured that most of the people that were regulars there were in bed for the night. It was almost 2 in the morning and Damon had called her to apologize yet again and to let her know Elena did come back. Her and her father were talking and they were figuring things out but Trixie had told him rather rudely and quickly that she was going to be staying somewhere else that night. Oh that went over well with him. Trixie was now on her side of the booth they were in and for once in his lifetime with her Elijah was seeing the girl pout.
"Everything alright sweetheart? You feeling the effect yet?"
"Oh please Elijah. Im not a light weight. I drank Kol under the table before. Im just thinking."
"Brooding is more like it. You remind me of Nik when he is facing serious trial or Stefan on a daily basis." Trixie chuckled as the waiter brought them another shot each. Trixie went to grab hers but stopped, seeing Elijah had actually been keeping up with her and was shot for shot so far. She smiled as she put her latest shot down and stared right at him until he turned his dark brown eyes back to her and smiled a bit.
"Elijah, do you think I messed up?" He was taken back a bit as she openly asked his opinion but he shrugged as he took his latest shot.
"What do you think darling?" She sighed as she took her shot and then slammed the glass down on the table, almost smashing it to pieces.
"I think I was doing right! If Nik didnt think he was still on top with his plans in motion that he would have either not came at all or got here quicker! He is devious and I just want him gone so bad that I allowed Isobel to deceive everyone, even Katherine." Elijah sighed as he reached out to put his hand on top of hers as he smiled to her.
"You again did what was right. Nik might find out about us being here if he has Katherine but that will make him a bit more suspicious and more on edge, more likely to slip up. Now that he knows there is a way for him to die, he will be more alert to anything any of us does. Hopefully for the safety of Elena the Salvatore's will be grabbing his attention more than us but dont ever think that a good idea at the time is a bad one just because others think it is. You know whats going on and now so do I. I for one never liked Damon's plan to begin with." Elijah smiled a bit as Trixie nodded and then put her head in her hands. She was upset a bit that Damon had attacked her, she only got attacked by Klaus and he learned real quick not to mess with her. Damon though had a point that if Katherine got taken that they would be out of the loop yet knowing he knew she would have to kill herself to kill Klaus pissed her off, even if it was Bonnie who took the powers. Damon knew and that told her that he held no ones life higher than Elenas and she wasnt going to let anyone die if she could help it...no one but Klaus that was.
"Do you have a place Elijah or do we need to get a hotel. Im not going back to their house tonight."
"We can crash at the hotel on the outskirts of town. Might be best anyways. Nik in town with Katherine is bad enough but if he thinks you are still at the Salvatore's he might try to show up."
"He wont, he will send someone who is either compelled or working with him. Hes not stupid, just an idiot." She chuckled as Elijah smiled and nodded before throwing a few bills on the table and standing. He held his hand out to her and as she grabbed his hand he lifted her up and helped her out of the bar. When she got under the half moon she knew it would only be a week or two at the most before Klaus would be needing to do the ceremony. She was worried yes, but she would never show it and as Elijah lead her to a car that he had they drove to the outskirts of the town and found a nice hotel where Elijah got them a double twin room. Trixie took her time getting a shower and getting ready for bed as Elijah was making some calls to some other witches he knew and a few other people he wasnt ready to talk about when Trixie finally climbed into her bed and tucked the overs around herself.
"Are you going to be ready for tomorrow Trixie?" She glanced over her shoulder and saw Elijah sitting on his bed propped up against the wall.
"Yeah, whatever anger Elena will be throwing at me I can handle. What I can't handle is not knowing where Nik is and who is working for him now."
"By the sounds of it a few people are acting strange all around town. We will just have to be cautious and keep our ears open for subliminal hints that he might or might not let slip." Elijah watched as Trixie nodded and closed her eyes as she sighed.
"I'll see in the morning what these witches can tell us. Apparently with the spirits helping me now I should be able to ask someone beyond our living plane but I never believed in them to begin with why start now?"
"Well, you know how I feel about witches. They are to me in the highest regards of a person. I believe anything is possible for a witch. Even you darling." He smiled as she smiled with her eyes closed and soon her breathing was slow and long as she fell into a deep sleep. Elijah checked his phone yet again to see if Katherine had texted him back but as he had nothing from her he could only worry about who she was with and what was happening. If only she had trusted him and told him what was happening he could have helped her but for now all he could do was pray she wasn't harmed.
