Trying to love (Elijah Mikaelson)

Chapter 19

*Amelia's POV*

Elijah had been missing for a night now, after giving him an ultimatum, he went. He obviously had chosen Hayley over his brother and me

"Any sign?" I asked Klaus as I strode into the room. Marcel was sat down as well

"Nope, he's gone" Klaus replied

"Well he's chosen the wolves so he is our enemy, I hate to say" it killed me to push out those words, to call him an enemy, my enemy.

"That's not nessasary" a voice interrupted, I wasn't sure if he was interrupting our conversation or my thoughts

"Elijah" I was surprised to see him here "I'm confused, why are you here?" I asked

"Well, I was on my way to end my so called alliance with the wolves, my space is here"he began "however, when I was in the midst of breaking this bond, it hit me that I can use this to protect my family" he finished. His family, he no longer cared for me, a he wanted to protect was his family. "And you" Elijah said, looking at me, as if he read my thoughts.

He walked up to me slowly and touches my hand with his. I instantly recoiled but returned to the normal position, winding his fingers with mine. He was facing me for a while until he turned to the others to say something "the wolves are attacking the compound in 2 days, now can I have a moment alone"he smiled

Both guys walked out, with large grin on their face, I tilted my head and watched them as the laughed silently to themselves

"That was weird" I said when the door closed "what was it you wanted?" I asked, undoing my fingers from his and tucking a piece of hair behind my ear

"It's come to my attention that I have been moronically stupid and I have not been myself" he began

"Where is this going?" I asked stupidly, as if I didn't have a clue

"I'm so sorry, Amelia, for what I did to you, how I hurt you, I would never do that intentionally" he answered "I have tried to ignore his feeling for those years if believed you were dead, but I can't, I am irrevocably in love with you and your little imperfections, your insecurities, even those times where you get a little too jealous" he smiled, I smiled back, my eyes filled with water and all I wanted to do was lie in his arms forever, but some other feeling washed over me

"I don't know" I shook my head, looking at the floor. His smile dropped as he stepped forwards when I stepped back "I have never ever been in love except for you, I've never felt heart break how you have made me feel it, I wasn't at peace when you had died, but it felt a hell of a lot better than seeing you with someone you love more, now that killed me" I explained

"I ensure you, that I have mended the error of my ways and I will do my best to regain your trust and your love" he replied

"You already have my love though, what is weird is that last week it wasn't enough, my love wasn't as good as her love"

"Amelia, why can't you see that I love you" he looked away and then turned around when he mentioned love, his voice raised with a hint of laughter, like what he said was obvious and I should know that. I ran my fingers through my roots, I was thinking what to say

"Well you don't show it very much" I replied, but he didn't take notice of it, in fact he didn't really seem to know much of what I said. His lips were on mine, like before, they were warm and pressed against me to release some sort of anger, which then blurred into a softer, more sorrowful kiss.

"You have a thing about interrupting me" I broke the kiss and laughed a bit before saying it

"It seems to work doesn't it?" He replied, I nodded my head and then it went silent

The moment was interrupted by Klaus striding through the doors with a rather enraged look on his face

"Sorry to interrupt your bonding session, we have guests" he stated

We ran out of the room and into the balcony then I looks the ground floor. Looking, we saw a large pack of wolves standing in formation, ready for a battle, one dead vampire already in the clutches of an alpha, but Hayley wasn't there. Coward.

"Elijah , I thought you said 2 days" I exclaimed, unready for the battle

"It was, but by the looks of it, it's now"
