Stronger than the rest

Chapter 26

Third person:

"Stay with me Evangelina. come on." The girl looks to see tears streaming down Henrik's face. Her body stings in pain as Elijah gets held by tatia.

***

"You did good." Alaric states as he drops elijah.

"Yeah..." Damon drifts of as he stares at the original, her eyes are open but distant.

****

"Henrik." She reaches up and hold his face before he leaves. "Henrik!! Please!"

****

Angel holds Damon's face as he whispers her first lovers name. a pain shoots through damon, but not physical, at this kid's name.

"Let's go." Alaric is already at the door and Damon soon follows. angel watches them leave before passing out.

****

"You shouldn't be here, they need to heal." Esther states and Henrik and Tatia soon leave the room that holds Evangelina and Elijah. The wolf attack was bad but nothing Esther couldn't fix.

"Please Henrik.. don't leave me." Her eyes close as the wounded girl drifts into a dreamless sleep.

****

Angel's p.o.v

I wake up but my boy is still weak.

"Elijah." I look to the side but his body is gone. "Elijah!" My voice is more frantic until someone picks me up.

"It's okay, I got you. just rest." I relax in Elijah's arms as he vamp speeds out of here and to jonas's apartment.

"Elijah, what happened? Angel!" Elijah stands me up as I gain energy.

"I need you too fine Elena. now." Elijah growls as he holds me by my waist to help me stand. this can't be good. My small black dress has elijah's blood on but I don't change it. I sit on the couch, my strength returned as I mess with my heel strap.

"We found her. come on." Elijah says as he grabs my arm. this really can't be good.

******

Elijah throws rocks up and down in his hand and I copy his actions. Letting each stone fall into my left hand and the swapping.

"He's here." As stefan says that, me and Elijah throws the rocks at the door, breaking it off its hinges. A smirk spreads on my face as we step forward, waiting for their move.

"I'm bored." I mutter as I pick up move stones. Throwing them at the windows, making them smash. I hear a scream and my smirk grows.

"You have to go. I need to talk to him alone." Elena tells stefan.

"Elena..." God stefie.

"Stefan, I'm okay. He can't come in the house." Elena says.

Elijah walks closer towards the house and I follow.

"You know, We might not be able to enter this house... But I'm a very patient man. I'll wait you out." Elijah shouts and Elena slowly walks out from behind the wall. She walks towards the front door but stays inside the house. I can hear something inside still, stefan.

"They shouldn't have done what they did." Elena says and I roll my eyes.

"The deal is off, Elena. they tried to kill Elijah and they drugged me with vervain. They were going to make me a living corpse. I don't think that was fair do you?" She shakes her head at my statement.

"I'm renegotiating." Elena says and I roll my eyes.

"You have nothing left to negotiate with." Elijah states and I slowly pick up more stones, ready for anything that comes. my ears still on high alert for stefan's next move. But I can hear something else. There is a moment's silence. Then, Elena pulls out a knife. Elijah looks amused.

"I'd like to see you lure Klaus into Mystic Falls after the doppelgänger bleeds to death." I laugh at her she hasn't got the guts.

"You haven't got the guts and Stefan won't let you die." I state.

"No, he won't. He'll feed me his blood to heal me, and then I'll kill myself and become a vampire, just like Katherine did. So unless you want that to happen again, promise me the same as before... promise me... You won't harm anyone that I love. Even if they've harmed you." She says, seriousness in her voice. I hear a creak and my eyes dart into the house and I see movement. not stefan though. someone else. I sniff the air.

"I'm sorry, Elena.-" Elijah starts but I cut him off.

"Let me in the house. Then we can strike up the same deal you and Elijah had." I state and they all stare at me. I vamp speed to her, making her stumble back. "unless you want Damon dead on your door step." I whisper it quietly, knowing only her can hear, "I know he is in there. I can smell his cologne."

"You will protect all the people I love?" I nod my head.

"just don't stab yourself." I say.

"Give me your word." she says and I shake my head.

"I don't give anyone my word." I state. Elena breathes out and points the knife to her stomach. Me am Elijah watch her, unsure of what she will do. Elena looks up at me and stabs herself in the stomach. She screams in pain and falls to the floor. There is blood gushing everywhere.

Elijah rushes towards the door, but stops at the doorway. Elena drops the knife on the floor and clutches her stomach. Something falls from behind her and half way out the door. I grab it quickly and see it as the dagger. A plan forms in my rad and I smile.

"No! Yes. Yes, you can have your deal. Let me heal you." Elijah states as he tries To get To elena.

"Give me your word!" She screeches and Elijah sighs.

"I give you-" he doesn't get to finish as I plunge the dagger into his heart.

"Angel." his skin goes all grey and veiny as he falls to the floor.

"I give you my word." I stare at Elijah before looking over at elena. she falls weak to the ground, her arm out the door for one second. I grab her and bite my wrist to feed her my blood.

"Your dead." Damon says and I shake my head.

"If that dagger killed me, I would be dead already." I state as I shove Elena to them. "Little tip. Don't pull the dagger out."

"Why did you do that?" Stefan asks as he steps out side. brave.

"Elijah is smart, he can see when someone is going to trick him. well, sometimes. i had to act. but I am no longer loyal to elijah. so, where do we put the body?" Stefan and Elena smile at me but Damon just stands there.

"I you want proof damon, I just daggered my soul mate, the one I am supposed to love for ever." I gesture to the body. "You have to trust me. I can protect Elena and the people she loves. better then anyone can. I know elijah's plan of by heart. Please. just trust me."
