Trying to love (Elijah Mikaelson)

Chapter 24

The blue skies of Louisiana had slowly faded to black and the full moon shone blissfully in the sky. All stars were screaming with beauty, things I didn't take notice of until tonight.

"It's nearly time" I informed Sofia

"Yes, I know, the note should have reached her and she should be waiting around here" she stated.

Earlier on in the day, after our encounter, I wrote a note to burn and send to her on the other side. It informed her of where she needs to be and at what time.

"She should be here by now" I worried, thinking that the note wasn't effective

"She's here" a half smile washed across her face "I can feel her presence"

"I thought you were nothing but a voodoo shop owner" I laughed

"I have my secrets" she winked

"Oh do you know" I smiled "and what are yours?" I asked

"I'm a very powerful witch Elijah, if you tell anyone this, I can rip your heart out with just a quick glance, I moved from Texas to here, changed identity and nobody knows that I'm a descendant from the Salem witches" she explained

"Well that's very interesting, I'll be sure to keep that to myself" I was taken aback by the name Salem, they were thought to be dead "you've been hiding for a while"

"A while indeed but this is not the time for chit chat" Niklaus emerged from the darkness

"The same goes for you wolf-boy, if you tell anyone..."

"I got it, my heart gets ripped out, I won't, you're helping us but also risking our lives by giving our father the chance to come back to life, despite the oh so effort we gave by killing him the first time" his sarcasticness broke through the seriousness for a minute.

"It's time" Sofia began, she placed the music box on the floor and held out her hand for me. I placed my hand in hers and she cut deeply into the palm, blood dripping all over the moist floor of the bayou and over the music box.

The wind picked up again, as she began to chant in a language that I hadn't heard in a long time. My vision blurred and the living souls around me disappeared and the colours turned to black and white.

The wind had stopped, like I was in a world of nothingness. To the right, two girls stood staring at me, unsure of what I was doing here. But there was no sign of Amelia.

Suddenly a figure ran out of the darkness, to broad to me Amelia. It was Mikael.

I tried to fight him off, I pushed him forwards and he landed on his back

"Amelia!" I shouted, trying to get her here

"Ha she's not coming, can't you see? You ruined her" he spat, getting up

"She will be here, what did you do to her?" I asked, dodging a blow to the head and returning it with my fist embedding itself into his stomach

"You can't kill me here you idiot, this is my land" he hissed, lifting me up and throwing me, I hit the tree and my neck snapped.

++++++++

"Elijah" a soothing voice calmed me, a very faint touch felt it's way across my forehead and my head wasn't on the floor, but leant on someone's leg

My eyes flickered open, only seeing the blur of black and white which indicated I was still on the other side

"Elijah" the voice whispered again, this time the arms around me lifted my paralysed body higher and the soft fingers were replaced with a gentle kiss "Elijah please" the voice began to sound distressed.
