Soulmates//Elijah Mikaelson

•Forty-Four•

Elijah and Niklaus rush into a tomb full of candles, they stopped and caught their breaths. "We've passed through here twice already. We're running out of time." Elijah signed as he kicked one of the candles in anger and frustration.

"Then we move faster." Niklaus stated as he marked the wall with a third tally mark. Alexandra and Hayley entered the tomb after hearing them.

"Or smarter." Hayley called out from behind them. Elijah and Niklaus froze when they heard her voice. They spun around quickly to see Hayley and Alexandra standing in the doorway, both dazed and exhausted. 

"Alexandra." Elijah whispered not quite believing they were both alive in front of him. Without a second thought, Elijah rushed forward, slowly raising his hand to Alex's cheek insuring that she wasn't an illusion. "How are you here?"

Alexandra reached up and placed her hands on top of his with a slight smile on her lips. "I'll explain later." She said with a nod before Elijah leaned down and captured her lips desperately.

"I woke up in the church. I felt this hunger... I knew what I needed. I can feel her. She's here. I can feel my baby." Hayley explained towards Niklaus. Elijah pulled himself backwards from Alex and wrapped his arms around her tightly.

"You died with the baby's blood still in your system." Niklaus stated. Elijah pulled back and turned towards his brother still slightly confused. "She's in transition."

"Which means she has to drink the blood of the child if she is to survive." Elijah continued slightly horrified. Alexandra signed and grasped Elijah's hand in comfort.

"To be reborn a hybrid." Niklaus finished, he himself sounding just as scared for her. Although they were happy she was alive, they didn't know how she'd handle being a vampire.

"I don't care about me. I'm gonna go find our daughter." Hayley stated before she leaves. Niklaus and Elijah look at each other concerned before Niklaus rushed to follow her. Alexandra pulled at Elijah's arm.

"Let's go save our niece." Alexandra said and Elijah looked down at her lovingly and nodded. He grabbed her waist before vamp-speeding them to follow the other two.

It takes them almost another five minutes to find them, they continued searching the cemetery and as they rounded a corner that's when they saw them. Genevieve holds a knifes above the baby's head as she's chanting some spell with the help of Abigail and Monique.

"NOOO!" Hayley yells. Elijah picked up an urn and libs it at the witches, it flies through the air and slams against Genevieve's hand, knocking the knife to the ground. They all start to run towards them as Monique and Abigail step forward holding hands, channeling the ancestors' power to throw them all backwards.

Abigail starts chanting while Monique looks at the Mikealson's with a smug grin. "You fools! To come against us in our place of power, in our strongest hour. You don't face three, you face us all." As they continue to use their magic against them, Elijah, Niklaus, Hayley and Alexandra can see that hundreds and hundreds of the dead witches have come together to help them complete the sacrifice.

Suddenly it's like everything is in slow motion. Hayley, Niklaus and Elijah are still fighting against the witches' magic while Alexandra stands back, frozen. Niklaus and Hayley each run in opposite directions, while Elijah continues to rush straight towards them, in hopes of overpowering them. On the side, Hayley find Genevieve picking up the knife, and starts to fist fight her to keep her from using it on the baby. She once again knocks the knife out of her hand and onto the ground. Niklaus on the other side tries to reach the baby but is cornered by the spirits of Papa Tunde's twin sons, who telekinetically throw Niklaus into a tomb, shattering it. Hayley knocks Genevieve down and takes her shot to run towards the baby, but Genevieve casts a pain infliction spell on Hayley, making her fall onto her knees. Meanwhile, Monique and Abigail continue to use their magic combined to channel the full strength of the ancestors. Elijah continues to fight his way closer as Niklaus pulls himself out of the tomb and angrily rushes towards the action.

Alexandra closes her eyes and starts mumbling softly as her hands raise. She fights against Monique and Abigail's magic. Monique looks up and towards Alexandra with a harsh glare as she pushes further, throwing Alex backwards. Niklaus noticed a wrought iron fence and breaks it off quickly. He throws it forcefully towards Abigail, causing it to impale her through the stomach and kills her, breaking the connection that she and Monique had to the ancestors. Monique gasps before dropping her spell and rushes to pick the knife up to finish the sacrifice herself. Niklaus and Elijah vamp-sped towards her, but she uses her magic to block them using a wall of fire.

"Noooo!" Hayley screams again as she watches. Genevieve continues the pain infliction spell to prevent her interfering. Just as Monique was about the sacrifice the baby, she starts coughing. Everyone is confused and Niklaus and Elijah turn to see Alexandra mumbling under her breath, with her hands raised. Elijah's eyes widened as he noticed blood starting the drip down from her nose. Suddenly Alex stopped as Marcel showed up beside her and threw the Devil's star at Monique, which imbedded itself into her stomach. Her body became covered in cuts, and she fell to the ground. Before anyone could say anything, Marcel vamp-sped to the baby, picking her up and running off. Niklaus smiled softly to himself and quickly followed. Alexandra signed before she became dizzy and started falling, but Elijah was quick to catch her. Hayley fought through the pain and quickly punched Genevieve, knocking her out.

"Alex." Elijah whispered. She hummed still extremely exhausted. Elijah signed happy that she was alright. He pulled her into him, kissing her head before helping her stand up straight. "Never do that again."

Alexandra chuckled. "No promises." She replied before they started walking over to Hayley and a knocked out Genevieve.
