Chapter 17- "Darkside"

"Is this extremely necessary mother?" Elijah heard Finn ask. He was still being held by the chains. It had rained the previous two days, his clothes were ruined, his throat was burning for a taste of blood, specifically, Elena's, and the vervain was no longer in his system, though his mother would from time to time stake him.

"Of course, it is my son. I'm doing this for us, for our family. I unleashed a course onto this world. It is my duty to nature to end it." Replied Esther.

His mother went to the backyard to see him.

"It seems like Niklaus has forgotten about you." She said.

"It will take a lot more than this to make him forget about me, Mother. I'm sure my brother is planning your death at this moment."

"Your brother wouldn't be that cruel, not to me. That hatred is reserved to his father."

"What do you want with me, mother?"

"I want to make you remember."

"I never forget one single thing you or Father has done to any of us"

"Not that, my son," Esther said smiling. "Do you remember our last Harvest Festival, before I turned you into vampires?"

"Yes."

Viking settlement, 1000 years ago (what is now known as Mystic Falls)

Henrik had just died, and Elijah and his family were going through the grief of losing yet another of their own. Before he was born, his family had lost another child before coming to the new world, but that child had died of an illness that had no cure at that point. Henkrik had been killed by men who turned into wolves.

His father, Mikael, took his older brother Finn and more village men to take revenge for the death of Henrik right after Niklaus brought his body back. His father came back covered in blood, but before he even cleaned himself up, he abused whom he considered guilty as well. Elijah wouldn't have known about it had Tatia not barged into his room in the middle of the night to bring him to her house to help his brother.

When Elijah got there, Tatia with the help of her teen son had managed to put Niklaus lying face down, with a sheet covering him. She sent her son back to his room and told him to go back to sleep. Only then did she remove the sheets to reveal the fresh bloody whip wounds on Niklaus's back? Elijah wanted to cry, as Tatia was as well. She already knew he was a witch, and mostly thanks to the abuse Niklaus endured, healing spells had become his specialty.

"Hold my hand," Elijah said. Tatia held his hand and he touched Niklaus's wounds, who cried out of pain. Elijah didn't need to recite the incation, but he focused on his brother, on the flesh healing and closing. After a few minutes of this process, all of Niklaus's lacerations had been closed.

On the next morning, Mikael was angry to see Niklaus standing up, walking around with Tatia, knowing that Elijah had most likely healed him.

Later that night, it was the Harvest Festival. Though Elijah should be thankful for all of the food his village had managed to produce throughout the season and thank the gods, the only thing he wanted to ask them was Tatia's heart, who now was dancing with his brother. She was caught by surprise when Niklaus kissed her and she kissed him back, though her heart wasn't into it. She had made her choice between the brothers.

She excused herself to rest, but actually, she went to Elijah, who had hidden behind the place where his mother took care of the animals.

"Elijah," She said.

"Tatia. You look ravishing tonight." He said, smiling.

She took a step towards him.

"Why do you choose to watch me from the shadows?" She asked.

"You seemed to be having fun with my brother. I didn't want to intrude."

"What if I wanted you to intrude, Elijah? When my husband died, I was supposed to throw myself in a pyre of fire, but I chose to live. And I chose to give my heart out to someone strong, protective, fierce, and yet noble and gentle" Tatia put her hand on his face, and he held her wrist. "I choose you, Elijah." He moved in to kiss her. She took a step back, laughing.

"You choose to have our first kiss where your mother slaughters the pigs? Not very romant" She didn't have time to finish her sentence before he kissed her for the first time"

"It was the night Tatia chose you," Esther said. "You certainly have a type, my son, given the woman you're dating now."

Elijah pulled on his chains, looking at his mother with a murderous look.

"Elena has nothing to do with this." He said, in a threatening tone.

"Oh, but she does. Does she know you killed Tatia?" Esther said, smiling.

"I didn't, Rebekah told me you used her blood to make the vampires and you killed her."

"I didn't my son. You did." Esther walked up to Elijah and touched his head with both of her hands. She started to recite an incantation and a flood of memories almost drowned Elijah.

Viking Settlement, 1000 years ago (present-day Mystic Falls)

Esther and Mikael had turned their children into vampires to protect themselves from the wolves, to ensure none of them would ever die like their little Henrik had. That's until Esther realized that Niklaus also carried the werewolf gene. The first time he killed someone, it triggered his course, and his mother had put a spell on him to prevent it from ever manifesting, or so she thought.

A few weeks later, Mikael and Esther would find out that their kids didn't have the self-control expected.

Klaus had gone on a spree after an argument with his father and killed 6 villagers, and his brother Elijah had promised him that he would stay beside him, no matter what. That's when he saw Tatia.

The woman was terrified, and she ran away, but fell down and wounded her hand, which started bleeding.

Elijah helped her stand, though she wanted to be away from him.

"I would never hurt you! Tatia, please…"He tried to plead with her but couldn't resist the smell of her blood.

"I'm so sorry," He said, before biting into her neck and drinking every drop of her blood.

He brought her lifeless body to his mother and was immediately grief-streaking. Esther genuinely felt bad for her son, she knew he loved that woman. In the next couple of weeks, Elijah refused to feed and was growing weaker by the day. So Esther made a choice. She cast a spell on her son. Every single time he committed an atrocity such as killing someone he cared about, those memories would stay behind a trap set in his mind by a spell. The trap? The door to their hut. The red door."

"No, I didn't kill her! That's not possible!" Said Elijah.

"You did. And if you're not careful you'll do the same to Elena." Esther said, backing up. "You've been drinking her blood. Does it taste the same as Tatia's blood?"

"Stop!" Shouted Elijah, his head falling back. Memories of himself committing horrific crimes throughout his life couldn't leave his mind. He dismembered bodies, ripping out hearts, and drinking blood until there was not a single drop left.

"I've only shown you the truth, my son," Esther said. It was at that moment that Klaus finally showed up. Davina and Bonnie were reciting an incantation, making Esther weak. The chains that held Elijah back fell from the trees. Caroline and Elena ripped it from his wrists, taking him to the car. Klaus held his mother's neck.

"Whatever you've done to my brother, I'm gonna make you pay." He said, in a dangerous tone. He dropped her, and left his mother's house, along with Bonnie and Davina.

Back in the compound, Elena had given Elijah a couple of blood bags to quench his thirst and helped him shower. After they were done, they lay on their bed.

"Thank you." He said, pulling her close to him.

"I told you I'd bring you back." She said, smiling. He brought her face to him and kissed her. His lips finally meeting hers, he felt her warmth and the tenderness in their kiss. Elijah's emotions ran wild and he pulled her even closer to him, pushing her body against his. His lips moved with hers slowly, the passion building within him. He explored her mouth, feeling all that she had to offer. His hands moved over her body, feeling her curves and contours.

They kissed for what felt like an eternity, yet he wished it would never end. Elijah felt a burning inside him, an urge to take her right then and there. He wanted to tell her all the things he felt but the only language he could speak was the language of love. He wanted to shout his love to the heavens above, but all he could do was kiss her. Kiss her fiercely and deeply, letting her know with each caress that he would never leave her side.

Elijah couldn't keep his hands off of her. He brushed his fingers along her sides before gently nudging them up, gripping her waist, and pulling her even closer to him. She felt his warm breath on her skin as he leaned in, sending shivers racing down her spine. His lips pressed into hers fervently, feeling for a response.

She pushed back in kind, his touch becoming more passionate with each passing second. His hands traveled further around her body, feeling her tense beneath his touch. Yet, she still wanted more, and let out a small sigh from his embrace. He released her from his lips, only to move lower, sending more sensations coursing through her.

Elijah eagerly slides down the bed and positions himself between Elena's outstretched legs. He nuzzles his nose up and against her inner thigh, his stubble scratching her as a shiver of pleasure runs through her body. He spreads her folds wide and presses his tongue against her delicate clit, swirling it around the sensitive bud before dipping lower to lick her from bottom to top, his fingers pressing inside her.

She moans in pleasure as he continues to please her, his fingers circling around her entrance to tease her further, his fingertips dancing between her lips while his tongue continues its exploration. Then, as he continues to delicately torture her with his tongue, he retreats back to her entrance, tongue pushing in further this time as his finger works its way up, pleasuring her even more. She gasps with pleasure as he withdraws his digits and devotes all of his attention to her clit, his tongue constantly stimulating her in such amazing ways that make her moan and gasp with pleasure and excitement. Then, it's too much for her to bear, as each stroke of his tongue and finger brings her closer and closer to the edge. Finally, she can no longer control herself and Elijah knows it, as she screams out his name and releases her essence. She's spent, her body trembling with pleasure.

He kisses his way up her body, finally kissing her mouth. Spending two days away from her was pure torture.

Their bodies were entwined and pulsing with desire. He slowly moved his body, grinding and slipping inside her. With every thrust, she felt a surge of pleasure, her body pushing and pulling him deeper inside. She clung to him, her eyes closed and her mouth open in a silent scream of pleasure, every inch of her body filled with ecstasy. Elijah leaned his head down, his lips brushing lightly against her neck as he worked his hips faster, feeling a wave of pleasure and satisfaction building inside her.

Elijah was getting increasingly aroused as he was pleasuring Elena, not only by his movements but by the way Elena moaned and writhed beneath him. She was so responsive to his every touch that Elijah couldn't help but take it further.

His face started to transform without him thinking about it. His eyes turned black, his veins popped up, and his fangs came down. Elena opened her eyes but before she could even say anything, Elijah leaned down and bit her neck. This was new. They've never done this during this situation but it was so much better. Elena clutches to Elijah's back, scratching him, and making him bleed. She let him take however much he needed.

Then, as Elena felt herself reaching her pinnacle, Elijah started to thrust hard and fast, his hardness igniting an explosive essence that left her trembling and gasping. He stopped drinking and kissed her neck.

As Elijah slowly pulled out, she could feel his warmth spilling onto her, the immense pleasure still coursing through her body. He kissed her.

"I love you, my love," He said. "Always and Forever."

"Always and Forever." She said smiling.

She waited for him to fall asleep. He was smiling and slept on top of her stomach. Caressing his head, she closed her eyes and let herself see the memories of the red door.

She slowly got up from the bed, putting up his button-up, a pair of pants, and her shoes. Closing the door to the room, she went to find Klaus, who was in his office. Caroline was there reading a book while he did another painting.

"Klaus, we need to talk." She said.

"I told you we'd save my brother, Elena, no need to thank me." He said, dropping his material on the table nearby.

"What is the red door, Klaus?" She asked.

Klaus's demeanor changed.

"I suppose he didn't tell you," Klaus said.

"No, but I saw it on his mind."

"My mother put a spell on him, and all the bad things my brother has done throughout his life go behind that door so he doesn't have to face it."

"It seems like your mother opened it up. Now Elijah knows everything."

"This will destroy him, little by little."

"I'm not going to let him down, I'm not going to let Esther destroy him," Elena said, leaving Klaus's office. She went to Bonnie's room.

"Hey, Elena," Bonnie said, dropping the grimoire she was reading.

"Bonnie I need your help."

"What is it?"

"Esther created a place inside Elijah's mind where he hides every bad thing he has ever done. She opened that door and it will destroy him."

"What are you thinking?"

"I need you to lock me and Elijah inside a spell so I can help him face this, and destroy this place Bonnie."

"Elena, he is an original. What if something happens to you?"

"He won't hurt me."

"He killed Tatia."

"It was not his fault. He is not going to kill me or do anything to me. He loves me, Bonnie."

Esther was trying to destroy the Mikaelsons from within. But little did they know, Esther would not be the only original problem they'd have to face.
