Heartbreaker

11

Y/n slowly woke up to see her wrists in chains tied against the brick wall of an old cellar. She pulled at the chains but they didn't budge.

"You're not going anywhere." Elijah's face appeared at a hatch in the cell door.

"Of course you're behind this. You don't like me as a vampire." Y/n snapped. "Where's Klaus? I'll rip his head off for this."

"Well that's not very nice." Klaus' voice spoke as he appeared next to Elijah. "This is for your own good."

"How is it for my own good exactly?" Y/n asked.

"You had a tragic loss, so you flicked your switch. You've had your fun, now it's time to come back to reality." Klaus said.

"Of all people to tell me to come back to reality, it's pretty rich coming from you. You're the most paranoid person I've ever met in my life. You don't trust a single person and you'll kill someone if they look at you in a way you don't like." Y/n snapped. "You hung around with me because you like the person I've become since becoming a vampire. Some might say a badass, Elijah would say a bitch. Plus all the sex must really have helped." She laughed. Elijah looked at his brother and then to the floor.

"Uncomfortable are we Elijah?" Elijah glared at her. "Yes I had sex with your brother, multiple times might I add and honestly, he's better than you."

Elijah slammed the hatch shut and stormed off.

"Was it something I said?" Y/n loudly taunted through the door.

Klaus vamped after his brother standing in front of him at the door to the library.

"Let me explain brother." Klaus spoke. Elijah pushed him out of the way and forced himself into the library where Freya was chanting over a bowl.

"Let you explain what? That you're in love with her? You think I don't already know that? I've known that since I first brought her home to meet all of you. I saw how you looked at her and how she never looked at you the same way. When I committed that awful act with Hayley, I knew it was only a matter of time before she found out and you would go running after her." Saying all those words broke Elijah's heart even more.

"What did you expect to happen? You broke her heart after sleeping with Hayley-" Klaus was interrupted by Elijah yelling.

"You don't think I know that?! You don't think I regret that one choice everyday?! If I'd just left the room and walked away from Hayley, I'd still be engaged. I'd still be sharing a bed with the love of my life. She wouldn't have moved out and across town to completely avoid me. She mightn't be a vampire right now because she would have been here where I could have protected her. Where we all could've protected her." Tears were welling his eyes and he had a lump in his throat as the happy memory of their engagement came flooding back to him.

Y/n stood in front of the mirror sighing as she tried on what felt like the 50th dress. This one was a red satin knee length gown that hugged her curves, making her feel like a million bucks. She smiled in the mirror.

'Okay yeh. This one.' She thought to herself. Suddenly the door opened and Elijah entered, breaking her away from her thoughts.

"Darling did you-" He cut himself off when he caught a glimpse of her in that dress. "Wow." He smiled.

"Like something you see?" She joked.

"Very much so." He walked over to her, locking his phone and shoving it in his pocket. "You look beautiful." He said planting a kiss on her forehead.

"What were you saying when you came in?" She asked him.

"Did you give Camille the details about tonight's dinner?" He asked.

"You mean come to the compound for about 7 ish and dress fancy cause we're having a meal to celebrate Freya? Yes I did."

"Okay good. I've got to head out with Kol but I'll be back in time for dinner." He planted another kiss on her forehead and broke away from her. He headed towards the door and turned back to her to say "Oh and please can you make sure the champagne is out? It's Freya's favourite."

The dinner was lively with loads of chatter happening around the table. There wasn't many people there, only the Mikaelsons, Hayley, Jackson, Camille and Y/n herself. Hayley went to sit beside Elijah until they made eye contact and he shook his head, signalling her to sit somewhere else. After they had all demolished dessert, Freya stood to speak. The room went silent with quiet jazz playing in the background. Everyone turned their attention to Freya which made Y/n turn her back to Elijah giving him the perfect time to get down on one knee.

"So hello everyone, I'm so happy that you're all here to celebrate with us. I wanna say a few words before my brothers say anything. Um I spent my whole life searching for my family and now that I found you, I was even more excited when I got some bonus honorary siblings in the form of Hayley, Jackson, Cami and of course Y/n. I know that all of you had really tough lives leading up to this point and I'm so happy to be apart of what's about to happen. Elijah." Everyone looked round to see him on one knee holding the ring out to Y/n.

She gasps holding her hands over her mouth smiling from ear to ear.

"Y/n Y/l/n will you marry me?" Elijah asked.

Without hesitation she said "Yes! A million times yes!". Elijah took the ring from the box and placed it on her finger. They both stood up and kissed as the whole table was cheering and clapping. They spent the remainder of the night feeling like they were on cloud nine.

"Enough with the reminiscing brother. You're only causing yourself more harm." Freya spoke after finishing her spell. The two men turned to her as she was folding away pieces of paper.

"We'll? What did you find out?" Klaus asked.

"Elijah was spelled. Dark magic was used to manipulate you and make you sleep with Hayley. It temporarily cut off one of the circuits in your brain which helps you make decisions. You slept with Hayley, but it wasn't by choice." Freya spoke which sent relief through Elijah but disappointment through Klaus.

Elijah vamped out of the room and down to the cellar where Y/n was being held. He let himself inside the cell this time.

"I was spelled." Elijah said.

"What?" Y/n disgustedly said to him.

"When I slept with Hayley, I was spelled to do so."

"Okay so? If you couldn't tell Elijah, I'm way past giving a crap about that."

"No you're not. I know you and I know that deep down, you still care for me as much as I do for you. I know I hurt you badly and I am so sorry for that. I know I can never really make up for it but you know now that I didn't sleep with Hayley because of any feelings from the past. I didn't have a choice because I was spelled." Elijah said. Y/n just looked at him emotionlessly with a completely blank face.

"I want a blood bag. I'm starving." Y/n sighed ignoring everything he just said. Elijah turned to see Klaus standing at the door of the cell.

"I really thought that would work." Elijah looked down at the ground feeling so many levels of disappointment. "You might have better luck considering she was falling in love with you." Elijah said to Klaus as he pushed past him out the cell.

"Hello. Blood bag?" Y/n spoke with attitude.

"Turn your humanity on, and you can get all the blood bags you want." Klaus taunted her. Y/n rolled her eyes.
