Smiling sweetly at him she turned around walking to the window tearing down the wood in front of it. Whirling up dusk by doing that causing her to cough while looking outside at the sun setting.

Elijah came to stand beside her also looking outside the window.

May I ask why is it that I have the feeling to protect you?

It was a question that has always bothered him never once has it been answered before, either because he didnt have the time to ask or the other refusing to answer. A mystery he still has not been able to solve, no witch had an answer to that question, witches knew surprisingly little above the other creatures of death.

Vampires were called creatures of the night never creatures of death, the only time they were called a creature of death was when another creature of death called them a child of death, no other species addressed them as such.

Dabria sighed.

You know how we call you child of death?

Elijah hummed as a response.

See that as the answer I am willing to give you for now.

She hadnt gotten her answer neither should he.

Looking at him from the side of her eye she asked a question of her own.

Now what brings you here? You dont look like someone youd meet in an abandoned mansion ready to be buried.

I was called. They had something I needed a, lets say a pleasant surprise, but then I had it taken and was staked by a Vampire ending with me here how you must have found me.

He headed towards the folded suit still sitting next to the couch.

And now? What will you do if it was taken?

Dabria turned her head to him, grey eyes boring into his back as he picked up his suit.

I will take it. And I know exactly where it is.

Turning from the Window making her way back to the couch. Dabrias eyes shone as she sat down.

And where is that?

Elijah narrowed his eyes at that taking a step towards her making him stand directly in front of her, looking down on her as she sat on the couch lifting her hands.

Just curious just curious no harm intended. Dont see yourself threatened

He lifted an eyebrow at that.

I dont see you a threat., an absolute calm tone, a mask no true feelings revealed just like the whole conversation prior.

The white-haired woman just smiled sweetly at that, before standing up now standing chest to chest with the man and looking up directly into his eye.

Oh, but I am, do know this is not me telling you that Im your enemy. No this is me telling you that you shouldnt piss me off. I have power you cant Imagine, so do best in not insulting me again, understood?

Elijah said nothing for a short him just standing there staring down into her eyes as she lifted an eyebrow challenging him. Nodding short he took a step back.

I deeply apologize for angering you, as it was not my intention.

She smiled accepting the apology from the man in front of her lightly.

He turned and left the room only for him to reappear minutes later now dressed in the new suit. Meanwhile Dabria had searched her backpacks for a snack she had hidden inside considering she had missed lunch because she had been here.

Oh, for fucks sake where is this damn food?

Taking her backpack and starting her search once again. She groaned letting the backpack fall back onto the table.

Had nothing to eat yet?

The calming voice of Elijah rang threw the room, shaking her head in response she let herself drop onto the couch once again making it squeak.

I have been meaning to ask, what are you doing here or rather where are you going?

Leaning her head against the backrest she looked up at him. Deciding to just tell the truth she shrugged.

Im on my way too little old Mystic falls.

He took a fast step towards her closing their distance once again standing directly behind her staring down at her.

Why are you going there?

She narrowed her eyes playfully before closing them shortly.

Call it a feeling telling me to go there, now why so defensive here Elijah?

Lets say I have business there.

The realization dawned her. Thats were your thing is, the one they took today, isnt it

His calm silence only confirmed it to be the truth.

How convenient it seems that well be seeing each other then.

It seems so, He nodded once at her. Then looked at her backpack and the cooler she had taken out for him.

It also seems that you have not yet eaten, so please let me take you to dinner as a thank you.

It wasnt only a thank you why he invited her, it was rather simple really, call it curiosity towards a species so hard to come by, so many question that could be answered. And maybe just maybe, it could be an ally gained an ally not even his paranoid brother could be prepared for.

Dabrias eyes crinkled as little grin spread on her face at the mention of food. Jumping up she snatched her backpack from the table. Twirling back around to Elijah she smiled wide.

Im ready! Lets go
