The Witch and The Original

Chapter 15

   I lay in bed after crying and eating a tub of ice cream. I was about to book a flight back home when there was a knock at the door. "Go away," I yell, turning my body towards the door. As I turned back around, another knock came echoing through the room. I throw the blankets off, get out of bed with a loud sigh, and stomp to the door. "I said go away," I say, throwing open the door, the person on the other side I never expected. I gasp and stumble back with shock.

"Elijah," I look at him, confused, unsure why he was here. "What are you doing here?" I ask, looking out the door and around. "Is Klaus with you?"

"No, may I come in?" he asks, putting his hands in his pants pocket, awaiting my answer.

"Yeah, sure," I respond with annoyance. I allow him to enter as I walk over to the bed to sit on it, crossing my legs. "What do you want, Elijah?" I sigh. I would never have expected Elijah Mikaelson to show up at my door. Our relationship is nonexistent, so what the hell is he doing here? 

"It seems I've missed a lot these past few months. I was not aware you and Niklaus were.... Intamate."

"Maybe because it's none of your business to know," I say, aggravated. I'm already done with this conversation and his presence. 

"Perhaps, but I feel I do have a right to know when my brother is in love," he says, walking with his hands still in his pockets and stopping in front of me. "And when he has fathered another child." My head shoots up with shock, and I look him in the eyes. "Yes, Rebekah filled me in on the past three months."

"He made his choice when he denied our child. That doesn't seem like the actions of a man in love. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to get ready to go back home," I say, standing up only to get pushed back down.

"We are not done here Piper."

"Excuse me?" I start getting angry. I stand and get in his face, trying my hardest to keep my cool. I'm in no condition to fight. "You are not going to tell me when we are done. I don't have to listen, nor do I have to explain anything to you. Your brother is incapable of loving me, and I have accepted that. Now please leave." I turn from him and walk to the door to open it for him to leave.

"Piper, please do not give up on him. I believe it to be true."

"Are you deaf? He rejected this baby, our baby. I'm not going to hold on to the hope that we could EVER be a family. So I will raise this baby alone."

"You don't seem to understand Piper, you won't be alone, you have the rest of the Mikaelson's  supporting you. We are just as thrilled with this pregnancy as we were with Hayley's. We are more thrilled with this one because he does not love Hayley not like he does with you," he states.

"He has a funny way of showing it," I add, tears filling my eyes.

"Don't give up, don't feel as if there is no hope. He was not thrilled with Hayley's pregnancy. He doesn't like being surprised. It makes him feel out of control, and weak. I can't make you stay but I ask you to give him time to get over the shock, he'll come around."

I sigh. "Fine, one week if he doesn't come around, I'm gone," I said, feeling like I had just made a mistake by agreeing to stay. I sense danger and pain ahead.
