Trying to love (Elijah Mikaelson)

Chapter 30

*Elijah's POV*

I wanted to spend as much time as I could with her before she chose. But she really wanted to be alone.

When I found out she had to choose, fear struck me and I was frightened that I would lose her.

"Please Amelia, let me in" I stood I front of her door and knocked on it.

"No" she exclaimed "I can't let you see me like this"

"I don't care what you look like" I pleaded "let me in and I'll help you"

Finally, she opened the door, the redness of her stomach had spread upwards and now consumed a quarter of her face.

Her eyes were red with tears and she looked like she was about to burst "you're still beautiful" I smiled, placing my hand on her shoulder and followed her inside.

*Amelia's POV*
My reflection showed how much the magic had devoured me, I looked hideous.

Elijah took me by the waist and sat me on the bed. I remained quiet.

"I don't want to rush you" he began, but I interrupted

"I know, I have about an hour left" I shrugged "I can tell"

"Have you made the choice? Davina is downstairs" he informed me, chills were sent down my spine

"No" I started "I have always wanted to be human again, eve if it means I'm a witch, but I'm a vampire; that's who I am and if I remain a vampire; I get eternity with you" I explained

"An eternity with you sounds delightful but it is nothing if you are not happy. If you wish to be a witch; say it and I will spend whatever time with you as you live your life and grow"

"I'm 150 years old Elijah, how could I go back to being human; I've already lived my life" I shook my head "and I've taken so many I don't think I deserve a chance"

"Look at me" Elijah touched my face, which I recoiled because of the pain "I want this for you; you have wanted this for years now and you can have this. I love you Amelia and I'm not letting this opportunity slip away from you; for you to just regret it for your endless life"

"and I can see my mom again" I smiled to myself, convincing myself to be a witch.

"Please; this will be good for you" Elijah smile at me and lifted me up to take me to Davina.

"You made a choice?" She asked, I reluctantly nodded. Still unsure about what I wanted; but Elijah had almost persuaded me.

"Okay then what is it?" She asked, but before I could answer I dropped to the floor screaming in pain. The burning sensation was back and this time worse .

"It's almost devoured her she needs to choose quickly or else she will die; it has to be from her mouth; nobody else can choose for her" Davina exclaimed "Amelia, choose now"

I don't know if I chose or not; the pain stopped and everything blackened into nothing.

Ah! So do you think she chose? What do you think she chose? Or was she too late to choose? Ah so exciting :O
