Always And Forever

Klaus Part 2

Chapter Seven

Lue growls in annoyance as she enters Mystic Falls. She had to run all the way because of a certain witch. Lucy landed a huge problem in her lap on top of everything else. Now she has to literally find the big bad wolf- or so the legends say.

Slowing down to a fast walk, she studies her surroundings. She can hear the Falls from a distance and she heads for them. Something about the running water calms her down. The view is amazing, almost magical. After a few minutes of looking at the view, she goes about her way.

She heads into town and rents a car before heading to the bed and breakfast. She thanks God that she was smart enough to still be paying on it just in case. Compulsion is easy... Too easy and to Lue, it's a cop-out most of the time.

Taking a quick shower she gets dressed quickly. There's no time to spare with this one. Time is of the essence.

Her first destination is the Lockwood mansion. Elijah told her that he'd drained all the vervain out of Carol Lockwood so she knows that it's safe. Damn, now she won't be able to get him out of her head. She likes him she really does but getting daggered twice in twenty-four hours? Wow. 

He should have never put his trust in the Salvatore brothers. They look out for one person: Elena. She has nothing against the girl and hopes she could get away from Klaus but those brothers are going to end up being the death of her.

Getting out of the car Lue is surprised to scent Elijah followed directly by Elena. Lue goes up to the door and listens silently. She knows Elijah will be able to scent her out, but not for a few minutes at least.

" So I assume that the Martin witches are no longer with us. " 

" No. I'm sorry. "

" And Katerina? She would have been released from my compulsion when I died. "

" Klaus took her. We think that she may be dead. " 

" I doubt that. Not Klaus' style. Death would be too easy for her after what she did. "

" I don't understand. You say that you want Klaus dead, but you still made Katherine pay for betraying him. "

" I have my own reasons for wanting Katerina to pay. And so does the nosey vampire that thinks I can't smell her. " 

Busted.

Coming into view, Elijah's eyes glue themselves to me. " Carol? Can you please invite Miss Petrova in? " 

She does as she's told and lets her in. Lue walks into the little breakfast nook and comes face to face with Elena for the first time.

" What? Elijah- do you know her? " Elena asks searching for the right words.

Lue smiles. " Now is not the time for those questions. I'm more interested in hearing what Elijah has to say. " She says looking at him as if to say continue.

He looks at her with a silly grin on his face. " There was a time... I'd have done anything for Klaus. " He says as he begins to tell them the story of how he, Klaus, and Katherine met for the first time. Ending with a huge revelation.

Elena is in shock that much is clear. Lue put two and two together a long time ago. It's obvious that they're related in some way.

" Yes. Klaus is my brother. " Elijah says loving every minute.

Elena still looks dazed. " I heard that. I'm still processing. "

Elijah cracks a little smile. " Yes, I'm a little behind on the times, but I believe the term you're searching for is "O.M.G." " He says taking a drink of his tea.
