AN: I wrote this in a rush, sorry guys, I'm working like 8 hours after this, sorry if it doesn't make any sense. The song for this chapter: I Really Like You
It seems like it's been days, although when she begins to count minutes, it hasn't really been as long as she's thought, but it feels like Elijah's late. If he was injured, would anyone tell her? She hasn't felt this useless in a long time. She creates another room for working out. Even if her physical body can't move, she might as well practice. She plays music loud, so loud it almost hurts. It's okay if Elijah can't come every day, really. It's thirty seven minutes and seventeen seconds of her counting aloud when she hears sound, distant. She turns the music down and focuses. Elijah. She takes down her walls, it's getting easier with practice. She put up arrows for him, and hopefully Caroline, explaining what room is, right now the arrows will point to where she is. The music resumes as she dances around her punching bag, this was a good idea. The song is on loop, she pays attention to the time.
The music stops when she hears someone clear their throat. Elijah.
He seems a little amused by her workout gear, but he's seen her in everything else, so she doesn't care.
"Are you late? It feels like you're an hour late. I've been working about for almost forty five minutes." She says and he looks interested.
"I am later than usual, Caroline managed to get into Niklaus's head tonight. For being an all powerful being, my brother has no mental blocks. I was delayed, attempting to teach him how to do so. By the end of the week, Caroline will be talking to you in here." He says and she lets out a whoop of joy. She tells him, as she produces swords for them to practice with, that Caroline had talked to her directly and it had been wonderful. She grins and it's distracting enough for her to get the advantage, the blunt edge of her sword is centimeters away from his throat. She makes a sound of delight.
"I won." Her voice is smug and proud and he can't help but find it attractive.
"You did." He admits.
"But what about another round?" He proposes. She grins even wider.
"You're on."
