: Elijah and you had an unofficial love thing, you both loved each other but never acted upon it until recent years. After a fight with Niklaus, you go out on a killing spree unbeknownst to you a hybrid was among the group you were killing and had killed you instead, after being chased you were later found by Nik.

warnings
: heartbreak idk nothing really

Niklaus found her body in the bayou, the woman he calls sister, the woman his brother calls queen, lying lifeless in the middle of the ground her body sprawled out like a massacre. The hybrid king looked down devasted falling to his knees running the back of his hand around her desiccated, cold, hard cheek.

Words could not express his thoughts, his anger. The thought of his older brother killing all of his kind just to find the person who did this to his love, all Niklaus could do was yell in anger, in sadness. If only he had listened to her ideas instead of pushing her away, releasing her anger henceforth her death.

He picked up her lifeless body, the crescent pack surrounding him as he walks away with her body. Nik couldn't help but feel all the blame on him, someone he had mentored and cared for had now fallen dead by one of his own creations. His brother would never forgive him for such a heinous act.

Elijah's words repeat in Niklaus's mind thinking of what to say as he brings her home 'if you release hybrids, Niklaus this world is in danger, my world, she, will be in danger and I can't protect her from everything' if only he had listened, if only he hadn't of let his greedy power-hungry mind control him, maybe she would still be here.

Driving home was nothing but emotional for the Original Hybrid, hoping that somehow she would be resurrected, hoping her powers would help her overcome what had happened and that he'd hear her reassuring voice once more.

Although he had loved another romantically, she was his platonic love, a love he could only feel in a family-friendly way, a love that wasn't sexual nor romantic especially since she had loved another, the other that he called brother.

The car slowed down, wiping the tears on his face Niklaus exits the car. Elijah runs out to see Niklaus' distraught manner, Rebekah and Hayley walking out holding Hope's hand and Niklaus looks down "I'm so sorry brother" was all he could say, he felt it even more now than before.

The guilt, the regret, the sadness.

Elijah runs to the back of the car, opening the car door to see what was once his lover and his best friend covered in blood. Her left arm dismembered from her body with claw marks on her shoulder, she had been mauled by a monster.

The noble brother falls to his knees, if only he had been there, if only he hadn't let her go the night before maybe just maybe she would still be alive in his arms right now. Hayley picks up Hope as they walk back to the compound, Niklaus places his hand on his brother's shoulder.

"Brother" Niklaus whispered clearing his throat, Elijah stood up pulling his lover's body out of the car turning towards Rebekah who had covered her mouth with her hand, tears covering her face, it felt as though she had been stripped of another family member.

Elijah walked her body to what was once a bedroom he had shared with her, placing her down on the bed sitting down next to her, words couldn't explain anything right now.

Words could not explain the fact he wanted to kill every hybrid, kill every vampire or every wolf maybe every being, he wanted them gone and he'd do it, if it meant he got her back he'd do it a million times over but he knows it wouldn't work.

Rebekah leaves the room crying, racing back to her room hoping her niece wouldn't notice but her niece was no fool. She felt the loss of magic in the family from the moment her aunt was killed, a surge of power had flown through veins and to Hope it only meant one thing, but she did not tell anyone she didn't want them to know that she knew.

Niklaus stands alongside Elijah, both guilt-ridden and devasted of their recent loss "you took her from me" the older brother says "if you had just listened to me when I had spoken of your new creatures, Niklaus if you gave me time to adjust to them maybe she would still have time" Elijah points at his brother, his brother looks down accepting it all.

"We will get revenge brother" Niklaus says "No Niklaus, I do not want revenge, I do not want to kill I just want her back don't you understand brother" the sadness in his body had changed to anger, not pure anger. It was a mix.

"I do-" "Do you understand Niklaus? I, let this person in. I let her in" Elijah had looked down "I don't let people in" his voice broke as he pointed towards his brother "you knew this, you've taken her from me" his finger connected to the chest of his brother, in spite of all his criminal acts, psychotic behaviour he couldn't kill Niklaus, he couldn't harm Niklaus.

"I need her and you have broken me" Elijah sits back down next to the dead corpse holding her hand up to his eyes, crying into it hoping it would bring her back but knowing deep down there was nothing he could do but consecrate her in the only place she had known as home.

"We will leave for Mystic Falls tonight" Elijah had stood letting go of her hand, wiping his tears off his face "we will bury her there, no witch here deserves her power" Niklaus nods in agreeance to his brother.

Elijah walks out of the room towards Hayley and Hope's room, Hope runs towards her Uncle hugging him tightly rubbing his back. She could feel his sadness, she shared the same emotion.

Elijah had remembered the words his recently departed had said weeks before today 'we will get married, my love but we need to clean this city for our niece, I will protect her even if it means my life'

Hope had held onto a necklace her aunt had given her just a couple of days ago, the necklace wasn't expensive but it was beautiful and in the chain had a message 'to the person who has changed all our lives for the better '

"Kol would be devastated," Elijah says letting go of his niece as she runs to her mother, "Kol is devastated," the unpredictable brother says walking into the room, Elijah runs over to him, hugging his younger brother who had teary eyes "Rebekah sent a message the moment Niklaus had come back" Kol said into his older brother's neck.

Kol and Elijah walk back to Elijah's room, Kol saw her body laying on the bed looking gray and cold. He walks over to her, grabbing her cold hand "you beat me to it I promised you I would go first for you" he bent forward whispering into her ear and he pulls a small box out of his pocket handing it to Elijah.

Elijah looks down at the small box in his hand confused "your girlfriend and I made a bet" Kol cleared his throat "that if she had passed before I, then I would give you this box and if I had passed before her she would hand Davina this box in her top drawer" Kol scratched the back of his neck.

Opening the box slowly a piece of paper fell out, inside the box was a ring. A ring perfect for his finger, he placed the ring on his finger slowly before feeling a whole lot of power in his system. He bends down to pick up the note that had fallen on the floor, he opened it and read it aloud.

Dear Elijah,

I'm assuming the lovely Kol has handed you this mini box meaning I have passed away. Although I am sure Kol has told you the reasoning behind why he gave It to you I'd like to explain further. A few years after turning Kol and I became really close and we told everything to each other including our darkest secrets, in the time of Kol and I's friendship there had been multiple occasions where we had skimmed the face of death himself so we made a pact.

The pact was that in the event of our deaths a small box with a ring and a final note would be handed out to the person we loved the most and of course, I love you the most Elijah Mikaelson. This ring not only belongs to my love but holds my powers, but Kol's ring holds all his secrets and his Original Vampire powers meant for Davina when the time came.

Every single part of my witchiness now belongs to you, Kol will help you with spells and such but if you wish to no longer own this ring. Store it. Hide it away until you find a next of kin to hand it over to, Hope would be an option but wait until she can control all the power she currently has.

Just know my love, that I will forever be by your side protecting you, Niklaus, Hope, Hayley, Rebekah and Kol. Literally, I will be your guardian heretic but with this ring, you will hold more power than anyone known to well anyone you will be 10x more powerful than me.

This basically a proposal from the grave, since I assume we aren't married but no matter.

In saying that I want you to move on with life, meet someone new, marry someone, become human hell even let someone else in but go and don't turn back.

I love you Elijah Mikaelson, forever and always.
