I'll keep waiting } Elijah x reader

Another day (POV: y/n

I woke up the next morning chills running down my spine. I felt light and hot, I was sweating profusely. I got up walked down the stairs to still see the ashes of Nolan on the floor. I looked away and headed down the stairs and hurried passed it and went outside for fresh air. I noticed Elijah out there as well, he was leaned against a brick wall.

"Well good morning." He said.

"Morning, um do you mind cleaning um." I looked down and scratched up head. He sat up and realized what I meant.

"Oh yeah I will." He walked toward the door and stopped next to me like he was about to say something. But kept walking I turned around my arms crossed shivering from the cold air.

I took a deep breathe and stood there for a moment taking in everything before walking back inside to a clean room. Elijah walked up to me. "So um, never mind." He started to walk away. I was still shivering from the cold.

"What?" I said wanting him to finish.

"I- just it's nothing." He walked away. I furrowed my brows with confusion but went upstairs and went to Bex room.

I flopped on her bed but she was stilling sleeping. She rolled over to face me and sighed. "What's the matter?" She asked. I stared at the ceiling.

"Elijah he needs to tell me something but he won't tell me." I sat up and the flopped back down.

"I'll talk to him, just give me a minute." She rolled over falling back to sleep. But I couldn't wait a minute I needed to know now. I obviously still felt something for Elijah and always will but I couldn't right now after Nolan died. I blamed myself for it all.

I headed up to a tower type thing where Freys was practicing spells. "Hey! What are you doing?" I asked walking through the doors.

"Working on a spell that send messages for us if we can't use our phones, you?" She didn't look up from the papers, books, and witch things on the table.

"Um, nothing I have a question for you. About Elijah." She turned to face me. "So I know I don't know you as well as everyone else but you know your brother well. I asked Beka but she fell back to sleep and this can't wait. Elijah tried to tell me something but stopped, what do you think he was gonna say?" Her eyes grew big and she turned back to her spells.

I walked over to the other side of the table facing her. "I can't say this is something he should tell you." She didn't look me in the face.

"Freya! I'm not gonna wait I need to know!" I said impatiently.

"I don't know much so I'm not the person to ask. But watch these and tell me what you see." She flicked her hand up and said something.

"Elijah."

"I know what your gonna say and I know why." Elijah stated.

I put my hand on his face. His eyes were filled with tears. "I love you and you know I know but after what happened I can't be with you." Tears trickled down my face onto the floor.

He kissed me pulling me tightly his lips soft and it was comforting. He then let go and our heads resting on each other. "I'll keep waiting for you." He said before vanishing. I took a deep breathe before crying resting my hands on my face and elbows on the balcony rail.

***

I opened my eyes gasping. "Was that me?" I asked. Freya looked at me with a sad but understanding look.

"Yes, but what did you see?" She kept at her spells.

"Love?" I was still confused on what the lesson was.

I gasped with realization. He loved me I ran down the stairs. I wanted to tell him everything I felt too. How when I saw him I got butterflies and I have never felt that way before until I met him. How his smile could light up a room, his laugh would make me smile. How the way he loved me, and how I loved him will never change. But something was stopping me. I don't know if it was my gut. My heart, or the fact that I had just lost someone.

When I made it down the stairs I wasn't sure what I was gonna say or do. I stood in the middle of the room with nothing.

***

I woke up. Did I pass out? I realized I was trapped I was sitting in a chair my hands taped around with chains, and rope with vervain. It burned to move so I sat still. Until a curtly haired boy in his teens. Came around the corner with a dagger in his hand.

"Hello, y/n." He smiled and threw the dagger at my face I ducked missing it by an inch.

"What the hell!" I yelled.

"Sh no need to me so hostile." He said laughing a bit.

"Who are you and what do you need?" I asked. All I could think about was how I was gonna get out and the pain I was in.

"You don't recognize me. Oh yeah I keep forgetting that I'm in a different body. But I'll give you some hints. We have met, I'm actually a vamp in my real body and, let's see, *gasp* you like my brother!" I sighed knowing damn well who it was.

"Let's see who is the jerk who has no heart, goes on killing sprees for fun, oh and cares for no one but yourself. Kol Mikaelson." He bowed and smiled still glaring in my eyes.

"The one and only."

"What did mommy dearest grant you this time? Let's go through the options. Oh not to kill you for fun, let you keep that ugly boys body, or not getting daggered? It had to be one of those." I smiled back at him and his face went blank.

"That I could kill you."
