ARIANA PARKS HER 2002 TOYOTA IN THE HOTEL'S PARKING LOT AND APPROACHES THE DOOR BUT STOPS SHORT OF IT. "I can sense the magic in your blood, who's there?"
"Elijah." The deep voice behind her states. Elena called her when she was at the Mystic Grill eating, where she seen Damon messing with a blonde wolf, saying that Elijah showed up at her house and offered her a deal. She knew she was probably next, she was kidnapped, too. And she was correct as the Original stood less than five feet from her.
She swivels around. "I'm aware of that now. The real question is: what do you want?"
"I want to offer you my protection."
She snorts at him, still feigning cluelessness to his deal offering nonsense. "Yeah, but no thanks. I've been protecting myself years, I'm pretty good at it."
"Well, you don't need to anymore." He offers then glances at the dingy old hotel. "I could also offer you better housing."
Her eyebrows shoot up, she chooses the road she does most often. "Are you saying you don't like my five-star hotel? I had no idea this place didn't fit your needs, or that you had a say on where I rest my head at night."
"Oh, you could do better, Ms. Kenney. Even if you want it or not, I will always protect you. I'd like it if you'd let me. You have my word on that."
"I'll consult my law team and let you know at a later date, Elijah." She smirks at him jokingly, making him conceal a smile. She opens her room door and turns to him again. "How can I trust you?"
"I'm a man of my word, Ariana." He states.
She snorts at him. "And I'm supposed to take your word for, especially when you don't even protect your family."
His nice expression melts into an angry one as he steps forward. "I beg your pardon?"
"You heard me, unless your hearings goin' with old age. How old are you now, a thousand? How old's your brother now? Klaus is younger than you, right?"
"Where did you get this information?"
"A very reliable source. Don't worry, I won't tell Elena what your keeping from her...as long as you don't tell what I am. 'Cause I know a lot more about you than you do me. For example: how you'll go back on your word for selfish reasons, how carefully you make deals to leave a loophole in your favor."
"What is this reliable source of yours?" He narrows his eyes venomously.
She tsks as she steps over the metal door frame. "That's for my knowing only. But know, in the end, I don't care about Elena's life or Klaus's curse. I have one thing to do--well, two now."
