Falling In Love With Elijah Mikaelson

Chapter 47

Elijah took me out of Mystic Falls and to different places, each just as beautiful than the last. We were on a beach, I sat in the sand while Elijah was off doing something. I watched the waves, they kept getting closer to my feet, the urge to jump in and swim making it hard to stay still.

I got up and backed off but felt someone's chest hit my back. I turned around to see a man with black hair and brown eyes, he was tall but he seemed drunk. The sun was in the sky making a lot of people be at the beach. The man tried to grab me, I didn't want to cause a scene so I let him and he dragged me away from the water and behind the changing rooms.

"You seemed alone, me and my friends didn't want you to feel lonely. Come sit with us." His voice was heavy but drunk and slurred.

I shook my head before politely declining. "No, I'm not alone. My partner is just off getting something, he'll be mad if I'm not where I'm meant to be."

"He sounds possessive, that's bad isn't it? Come on, one drink." He held out a bottle and just by the smell of it, I wanted to puke. "Please, pretty girl."

"That's possessive? Geting angry when your not where they left you? He doesn't get mad to the point of hurting me, just cute mad where he's worried and jealous." I backed away before feeling an arm wrap around my waist and pulled me close to them. I looked up and smiled brightly. "Elijah!"

"Hello dear, are these men bothering you?" His voice made me look at the men and shake my head. "Dear, don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying, their not bothering me. They took me here to give me a drink that is clearly spiked. Their just idiots being stupid, don't hurt them please." I clearly didn't want our fun ruined by this but he didn't let it go. Elijah moved his hand and walked towards the group of men making me grab his arm. "Elijah, don't."

He didn't listen and broke the beer they were handing me. He got madder making me turn and walk away to the ocean to sit. He came to me after a few seconds, wiping his hands and joining me on the sand.

"Sorry my dear, I can't have anyone harm you-" I cut him off before looking at him.

"You did. I told you to leave them be and you killed them. You done it in California and Las Vegas. We were having fun and you killed someone for either insulting me or trying to flirt." My eyes showed how I felt, upset he ruined a lovely day, again. "Can't you just not kill them, just tell them to stop and we move on."

"Isabelle, I did tell you I-"

"Your not a monster and don't you dare say you are. I love you but please no killing unless it's needed, my love." I took his hand before smiling at him. He agreed as I moved closer to him, he wrapped an arm around me as we watched the water. "So where to next?"

"I thought I'd show you New Orleans. A place my family helped make, you want to go see it?"

"New Orleans? Hell yes!" I hugged him making him fall backwards onto the sand. I looked at him smiling making him laugh. "I haven't been there, ever. Is it really as beautiful as people say it is?"

"Yes. Now, go for a swim, I know your dying to." I got up before helping him and walking to a discreet area. I sat down on the sand to take off my shoes and leggins. "Isabelle, warn me when you do that."

"Elijah, we share a bed. You can see me in a swimsuit." I took off my top before looking at Elijah, he had his back to me. I thought silently before walking to him and wrapping my arms around his sides. "Come on, look. I wanna know if it suits me."

"You asked the lady at the store, besides I told you seeing you naked wasn't going to happen unless we both are ready." I groan before turning him around, I seen his cheeks turn a slight red as his eyes turned into his vampire ones. "..."

"So, how do I look?" I backed away from him before spinning in the swimsuit. It was a black two piece with blood stains from when we attacked people when I was drunk. He stayed silent, just looking at me. "Love?"

"Is that blood from when you attacked the bartender for saying you aren't allowed anymore alochol?" I nodded as he stepped towards me. He took my hand before kissing the back of it and smiling at me. "I'm getting hungry just looking at you, my dear."

"Then while I swim you go get some blood-" He cut me off with a quiet voice and a smirk on his face.

"Not that hungry." He wrapped his arms around my waist before smiling at me. "Understand what hungry now."

"Mmhmm." I couldn't form proper words, my face was warm and I could tell my fins and scales were showing. I looked away from him only for Elijah to make me look back at him with a gentle stare.

He kissed my cheek before pulling away. "I'll wait, go for your swim, calm your nerves. Your heart is racing and your blood is flowing quickly."

"O-okay." He sat on the beach while I made my way to the water, I could feel his eyes on me all the way. I went in deeper, before feeling my body turn and swimming faster. I went deeper and deeper until I seen a pretty scene.

I sat on a rock and watched the fish. Some coral was growing beautifully in all colours, it was pretty, it relaxed me. I hadn't been in water in days, I felt great, happy and calm. I thought back to Elijah and felt my face heat up again. I shook the thoughts away before swiming back to shore.

I had to stop the thoughts but they just kept coming closer and closer to me before long it was all I could think about. I got on the shore before drying off my tail and body as it turned back to normal.

Elijah came over and wrapped his suit jacket over me before sitting with me. "Do you want to?" I looked down before feeling more heat go to my cheeks. I cleared my mind the best I could before speaking, I was quiet, soft spoken and really embarrassed. Braveness completely leaving my body.

"Yes."
