His Obsession

Chapter 18

Elijah's lips hovered an inch above Elena's, both of them were completely and utterly lost in each other. When Elijah was about to lean in Elena collapsed, falling face forward into Elijah. Elijah quickly catches Elena and lays her on the couch before pacing back and forth. He was sure that Esther had caused this.

A knock at the door interrupted his thinking. Since he couldn't track down Jeremy he had no idea who could possibly be at the door. Elijah approached the door cautiously before opening it.

He was not surprised when he found an angry Klaus on the other side of the door.

"Klaus, what an unexpected surprise." Elijah sighs.

"Where is she?" Klaus growls.

"I'm afraid I do not know who you are talking about." Elijah says as he begins to close the door only to be stopped by Klaus.

Klaus pushes the door open and storms into the house. He falters when he sees Elena laid out on the couch. Klaus couldn't take his eyes off of her, not that he wanted to.

Elijah quickly stepped in front of Klaus clearing his throat, successfully blocking Klaus's view of Elena.

"Is her humanity still off?" Klaus asked.

"No." Elijah answered truthfully.

"Good, I want her to be scared of what I'm about to do to her." Klaus said harshly.

Although Klaus refused to admit it, he knew he could never truly bring himself to hurt the girl.

"Haven't you done enough to her?" Elijah spat.

Klaus looked taken back by Elijah's tone.

"Clearly I haven't done enough, it's obvious she hasn't learned her lesson!" Klaus yelled.

"Klaus!" Elijah growled.

"She was going to go and wake Mikael for god sake!" Klaus snapped.

"Can you blame her? You put her through hell!" Elijah yelled abrasively.

"She was perfectly happy." Klaus argued.
"Happy? When was she happy? When you killed her Aunt? Or perhaps it was when you caused her to kill her unborn child?" Elijah said curtly, only pausing when he realized what he had just said.

Elena had trusted him with something so important, and now he had just betrayed her trust.

"I did not kill her aunt, and Elena was never pregnant." Klaus said sternly.

"You're wrong Niklaus, Elena was pregnant with your child." Elijah sighed, it was no use in hiding this information now.

Klaus paused, completely in shock.

  "No, that's impossible. Vampires can not procreate." Klaus said thoughtfully.

"Maybe with doppelgangers? They are nature's loophole after all." Elijah guessed.

"Even if it were true, I would've noticed its presence." Klaus said certainly.

"Are you sure?" Elijah asked, fearing what this could mean.
