Chapter 11: Crying Wolf
Caroline had been kidnapped, but saved. Jenna knew about John being Elena's biological father, and Damon had a new toy to play with.
Ana knew she needed to talk to Elijah, she had to. In a memory Ana had, Elijah told her that someone was after her.
Flashback:
Elijah turns around, looking right at me. "Come find me, before he finds you" Elijah says walking away again.
"Before who finds me?" I say, but before anything can happen, everything went black.
She didn't quite know who he was talking about, or if it was actually real, she had to find out.
Maybe it was Klaus, or even Mikael, but why, that was the question.
Lockwood Mansion
The Historical Society's Tea Party, something Ana was invited too. Which was exactly where she was, at the Lockwood Mansion, where every other Mystic falls event held place.
When Ana walked in the door, she first saw Jenna talking too Damon and Andie the news reporter. She heard Damon say "Thanks for introducing us, Jenna." before walking away from the conversation.
"What was that about?" I asked them, standing beside Jenna.
"Ana, oh, nothing really." Jenna said, looking at her.
"You must be Anastasia Forbes," Andie said, reaching out to shake Ana's hand.
Ana took it and said. "Yes that's me, and you are?"
"Andie, Damon's girlfriend." Andie said protectively.
"Oh, we'll then congrats." I said to Andie.
"Thx" She said and smiled.
I walked over to Mrs. Lockwood.
"Carol, the Party is great." I said with a smile.
"Anastasia, good seeing you again, and thank you." She said.
"Have you met Mr. Smith?" She said looking to her right, there stood Elijah, smiling.
"Yes, shortly." I said. "You're writing about the town's history, right?" I asked him.
"I am. Lovely seeing you again Miss Forbes." Elijah said. He was always so formal when they were around others.
"You promised me to talk about that book, remember" I said, with a smile.
Elijah looked right through me and said. "Of Course, we can discuss it now if you would?" He asked, leading me to a nearby room.
Elijah closed the door, and looked at me. "You wanted to discuss something?" He said, leading me to a small couch, where we could sit.
"Yes, about something that happened a while ago." I said sitting down. Elijah sat down beside me
"Is there for some reason, I should worry about someone coming after me?." I asked him seriously.
He looked a little surprised. "Why do you say that, did something happen?" He asked.
"No, well yes, a while ago I had this memory about you, and when I tried to talk to you all you said was 'Come find me, before he finds you'. Like what does that even mean, Elijah?" I asked him.
He seemed to think about it a while, then answered. "I think it's best if we discuss this in a more private place, he said. Just then the door opened. Damon came in.
"What a surprise to see you Elijah." Damon said and closed the door. "Ana, why don't you go talk to someone else." Damon said, walking over to Elijah and I.
"I would like to stay." I said too Damon with a smile.
"What can I do for you, Damon?" Elijah asked him.
"I was hoping we could have a word. In private." Damon said to Elijah.
"Anastasia can stay if she pleases, that is of no concern to you." Elijah said to him.
"Since when did you two become all merry?" Damon asked me.
"It's hard to explain." I said to him.
"Where's Elena?" Elijah said, trying to change the subject.
"Safe with Stefan. They're laying low, you know, bit of a werewolf problem" Damon told him.
"Oh, yeah, I heard about that." Elijah said.
"'m sure you did since it was your witch that saved the day."
"You are welcome." Elijah said, Damon sits down on a desk.
"Which adds to my confusion on exactly why you're here." Damon asked.
"Why don't you just stay focused on keeping Elena safe and leave the rest to me." Elijah said, leading me to the door. Damon vamp speeds in front of us and says. "Not good enough."
Elijah grabs Damon by the throat and vamp-speeds him into a wall. Damon, in retaliation, grabs Elijah's throat. Elijah grabs Damon's hand and easily pulls it off of his neck, making sure to crush Damon's hand as he does so. Damon groans in pain.
Ana stood off to the side. "Would you two please stop it."
"You young vampires, so arrogant." Elijah says, and drops Damon's hand from his own, but continues to hold Damon up against the wall by the throat. "How dare you come in here and challenge me?"
"You can't kill me, man. It's not part of the deal." Damon said arrogant.
"Silence." Elijah tells him. Ana looks quite worried. She had never seen Elijah mad before, not in real life. Elijah looks at me "Turn around" He tells me. And I did just that.
Elijah grabs a pencil lying on the desk and stabs Damon in the neck with it. Damon clutches at the pencil and yells in pain. Elijah lets go of Damon, who falls against the desk and removes the pencil, painfully. Damon claps his hand over the bloody wound. Elijah whips out a handkerchief from his pocket and wipes the blood of his hands.
"I'm an Original. Show a little respect." Elijah tells him.
Elijah dangles the handkerchief in front of Damon, who grabs it hastily, and places it on his wound.
"The moment you cease to be of use to me, you're dead, so you should do what I say. Keep Elena safe." Elijah says, and places a hand on Ana's back leading her out of the room. Ana gives Damon an apologetic look.
Elijah drives me home. We are standing outside my front door.
"I can handle a little blood." I tell him, referring to what he did to Damon.
"I know you can, but I would rather you not." He says, placing a hand on my cheek.
"We still need to talk" I say and put his hand away. "You didn't think I would forget, did you?" I ask him.
"Not at all. I know you too well for that." He says.
"So, do you know something about that?" I ask him.
"Let's go to a more private place, then I will tell you everything you want to know." He tells me, and leads me back to the car. We drove to an apartment building. Elijah opens the door and leads me up the stairs. We stop at a door, and Elijah locks us in.
The apartment looks modern. "This is nice, you live here?" I ask him, while he takes my coat and puts it away.
"I do." Elijah said. "Do you want anything?"
"No, that's alright." I said, and sat down on the couch. Elijah sat down beside me.
"Was it real, or am I going crazy?" I asked him.
"You are not going crazy Anastasia, what I believe I would be referring to, when you saw me in this memory, was a monster. Someone who has done so much harm to us." He said, a little angry, but sad at the same time. He took my hand in his, and looked me in the eyes.
"Who?" I asked.
"My father," He said.
"Your father?" I asked. Is freaking Mikael after me.
"Unfortunately, yes. He has made it his life mission to make this family miserable. I can assure you that no harm will come to you this time. I give you my word," he said.
"This time?, what do you mean this time?, has he tried something before?. I asked him, a little shocked.
"As you know you resurrect when you die, and my father has been the curse of a few of your previous deaths." He said.
"Are you serious, why?, what does he have against me?" I asked, still in shock.
"It's not exactly you, he has something against how you are towards my brother, Niklaus." He said.
"Let me just get this straight, your father hates me because I'm what, nice to your brother?." I asked him.
"Niklaus and you have a friendship, which my father does not condone and never has." Elijah said.
"That doesn't make any sense, why would he hate me for that?" I asked.
"It's more of a prophecy that was once told to my father." He said.
"Which is?" I asked him.
"Dome will fall upon my father, when the daughter of return and the son of wolf and vampire unite." He said.
