Trying to love (Elijah Mikaelson)

Chapter 31

"Elijah" I screamed as I awoke from my sleep. I adjusted my sight to see him looking out of the window, he looked unhappy.

I sat up on the bed I lay in "Elijah what is wrong? I'm alive" I smiled, ignoring the pain in my chest, I felt fragile.

"I'm happy your alive Amelia, I'm ecstatic, but it's what you chose that effected me" he turned to me, his eyes red from tears

"What did I choose Elijah?" I asked curiously, I didn't know what I chose and it ate away at me

"You chose to be a vampire, Amelia" he snapped "everything you didn't want to be, you chose what you have despised about yourself for all of these years"

I didn't know how to feel about it. I'm used to being a vampire but I knew that I had the chance to be something different.

"Oh" I replied "I must have chosen it for a reason"

"What reason Amelia? Really, I'm sure there isn't a reason because we both agreed that you'll choose to be a witch, something that would make you happy" he rubbed his forehead as he sat on the bed

I removed the covers and sat on my knees, my hands grasping both sides of his face to make him look at me. Although I was happy I was alive, his pain was my pain, he rarely cried, but when he did; I cried with him.

"Look Elijah, you have me for eternity. Life is not worth living if I didn't have you; if I was to be a witch, a human, who would be to say I wouldn't be taken away from you" I explained, my voice cracking "it was my choice and I had thought hard; I had said I wanted to be a vampire because it is the only thing I know, if I hadn't have thought about it I wouldn't have said it in the heat of the moment; I wouldn't have replied, I would have died"

"I don't know what to say" Elijah looked at me with puppy dog eyes. I pulled his face closer into a small kiss

"I have been denied humanity twice now, if I were to be human, if it was my fate, then I would have become one by now Elijah; this is my fate, my fate is to be with you for all of our lives" I smiled as my forehead leant on his, one side of his lips curled into a half smile

"I thought you had died; I thought you made your decision too late" he changed the subject

"How long have I been out for?" I asked curiously

"Three weeks" he replied

"Three weeks?!" I exclaimed, that would be quite a fright. "I'm surprised I'm not lying in a tomb by now" I joked.

Elijah looked seriously at me "ah yes, right joking about death does not go down well" I added

"But you're alive now" he smiled

"Yes I am; and sir Elijah Mikaelson, we have the world at our feet and eternity to be together" I smiled

"Maybe we can start by cleaning New Orleans up and I could take you to England, or France, maybe Russia" he smiled widely now

"I would love that" I looked down at the bed where Elijah had laid out his hand, wide open.

My delicate hand placed into his as out fingers intertwined.

And it was then I knew; that eternity with this man wasn't enough time, but we were sure going to make it a good one .
