Trying to love (Elijah Mikaelson)

Chapter 10

"Put the dress on Amelia" Niklaus shouted from downstairs. I was sat by it, admiring the embroidery and running the soft netted arms through my fingers.

"Okay!" I replied, tonight was the night I would exact my revenge on the rat that murdered me. I wouldn't be here in the first place if it wasn't for him.

I changed from my red dress into my wedding dress, it was ironic how the dress I was going to wear to confirm the rest of my life will now be used to end the life of my fiancée. The thought of him makes me sick.

I waltzed down the stairs and twirled in front of the two brothers who looked at each other and back to me. Elijah's expression mimicked that of when he saw me in my towel.

My hair fell in curls and half tied up in a white bow. So innocent, I thought, I look a completely different person dressed in white to what monster actually lurks inside.

"You look exquisite" Elijah stated, I blushed and felt a bit embarrassed about the affection he showed in front of his brother.

"You look lovely dear, very... Theatrical" Niklaus smirked. I smiled back to thank him and linked arms with Elijah

"Shall we go?" I asked "I'm absolutely ravenous" smiling, we left the house.

The plan was, Elijah and Niklaus have removed all vervain from the house and guards. They have already compelled them to leave so it'll just be him inside the house.

We will lock the doors and I begin the cat and mouse chase. The night had ready fell, the full moon risen and it was perfect.

*Edward's POV*

I was in my study when I heard a noise. I placed my book down on the table and went to investigate.

"If you petty guards are finished whatever you are doing, please get back to work" I went to carry on but I was stopped as a figure in white stood in the ballroom.

The ballroom was empty, or so I thought. I walked to the familiar figure with her back facing to me and raised my hand on her shoulder.

I jumped back instantly when the woman turned around.

"Amelia?" I stuttered, her face transitioned from the innocent little face I struck dead to a monster. Her eyes dilated and turned black, her teeth extended into fangs and she leaped for me.

I closed my eyes and fell to the ground, but when I opened them, everything was untouched. I exhaled, wondering why my men hadn't run to me, I made a loud noise.

It must be my imagination, I did drink an extra bottle of whiskey, it probably went to my head. I sighed, deep down I do miss my bride, even though she was a defiant whore.

I began to walk up to my room, but stepped in something. Inspecting my shoe, I realised that I had collided with a red liquid. As I spread it on my fingers, I made a link, it almost looked like blood. It was blood.

Following the trail, my heart began to beat loud. What I saw next would stay with me forever...

Amelia leant over one of the maids. She was covered in blood, the white dress was stained. The white dress. Her wedding dress.

Her face, still monstrous raised from the maids neck to look at me. She then went back to normal and stood up. I jumped back in fear, I killed her, how could she be alive? why is she eating my maid?

She walked up to me and grabbed my hand before I could wriggle away.

"I do" she smiled as her face turned dark again. Her grip was strong, stronger than me.

"How could this be?" I asked, horrified with what I saw. The little girl I grew up to know, to marry. She was a monster "you're a monster" I exclaimed

she laughed, and laughed so hard that she let go of my hand. So I took advantage and ran for it, ran for the door.

"Damn it" I whispered as I realised that the door was locked.

"I'm the monster" the voice giggled from behind me "me, the monster" she repeated. I turned around and my back pressed against the door. She walked slowly towards me "well since I have last checked, you were the one that best me night after night and forced me into an engagement I didn't want. You were the one to kill me, you killed me!" She shouted

I turned my head as she went to smell my neck. Trying to get away, she grabbed my arm and laughed again, a sinister laugh

"How dare you try to walk away from me! Only last week you were obsessing over being near me" she laughed louder and louder "tell me Edward, what do you think is wrong with me? Why won't you be near me? Why not marry me here? I'm in my dress" she smiled

"Because you are a monster" I spat in disgust "the person I was going to marry was innocent, not a murderer"

"But my dear sir, you made me like this" she started "you murdered me, in cold blood, no reason except for you wanted me all to yourself" her hand wandered around my face, it was cold, she moved gently until she began to put pressure in and I heard my jaw crack "but I didn't want to be yours, I wanted to get as far away as possible"

"What are you?" I managed to push the words out.

"I've been called many names" she smiled "monster, demon but I like the technical term"

"And what's that?"

"Vampire" she giggled again. I gasped, she must have known one, but who? The Mikaelson's? I didn't have much time to think as I felt two sharp points on my neck

I yelped as she was draining the blood from my body and I felt myself get weaker until nothing.

*Amelia's POV*

It always happens when I feed. I feel this overwhelming sense that I need more and I do not care about who it is or how much of a monster I become. I need it.

I came back to reality with Elijah pulling me away from the limp body of my old captor. I spat at the body after I recognised it, but there was something different.

"Woah nice work" Niklaus laughed upon arrival "I was expecting to see a body not a head and an arm and a pretty scratched up torso"

I looked at Elijah with sorrow in my eyes. Not sorrow for the man, but for me, how could I let myself go that far to rip him apart?

Elijah put his arm around my and pulled me up so we were standing. But there was something wrong, someone human has entered.

A young woman emerged from the door behind Niklaus, and so I pounced. Elijah caught me in mid air and brought me back to the ground closer to him.

"Easy love" Niklaus' calm voice didn't reach me "she's our witch, she's with us" he smiled. My fangs still were extended and I still thirsted for the witches blood.

"You'll have to excuse her, she's new at this" Elijah comforted the witch who didn't seem too frightened. She strode past me and I began to calm and return to my normal self.

"I don't care about your petty love life Elijah, to be honest, I have lost track, I thought she was human" she smiled playfully and I felt the jealousy wash over me.

"What's going on?" I asked "why have you brought a witch here?"

"She's helping us with some business" Niklaus explained

"What kind of business?"

"Well it seems that we have lost track of where our father is" Elijah butted in "the witch will help us locate him and we can either run or stay"

I saw the witches facial expression droop and she began the spell again her failed. She huffed.

"Elijah, we may have a problem, Mikael is here"
