Falling In Love With Elijah Mikaelson

Chapter 54

I was fed blood as I told them what I saw. My father in the woods with me, saying he loves me and wants me to keep going. I looked around the house before slipping into my shoes and running out, I heard everyone yell my name and only one person following me.

I sped off into the woods, further and further, deeper than I've went before. I slowed down when I came across a camp, I sat by the fire and felt the heat hit my skin. I smiled before feeling Elijah stop behind me.

"Love, I know he's gone. Klaus killed him, I... I covered it up. There is no way he is still alive..." He crouched beside me and took my hand before rubbing the back of my hand gently with his thumb.

"Who isn't alive, Mikealson?" A man walked over before smiling at us. He stood tall as we looked at him. "Elijah, you done a half ass job at hiding my death, my darling daughter can clearly see me."

"Father!" I got up and sped into his arms before crying into his shoulders. "I really thought you were gone..." I heard Elijah rise up but soon heard him in pain as someone walked over. I looked to see a woman I have seen before. Deep brown hair, dull green eyes and her skin was like caramel in the sun. I went to run to Elijah but my father held me still. "ELIJAH! NO! FATHER LET ME GO!"

"He is a monster-"

"HE IS MY FIANCE!" I pushed my father away before tackling and biting into the witch causing her to stop and scream out in pain. I lifted my head as my fangs came out of her skin, I got up and went to Elijah before helping him up and hugging him. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, love." I rested my head on his chest before looking at my father, he only stared in shock. I felt a burning sensation in my throat causing me to speed away and puke up the blood. "Isabelle!?"

I sped back before walking to a log and sitting down, wiping my lips and pouting. "He blood tasted funny. Like vervain but also something else..."

"That would be my magic doing it's job-"

"What did you do to my daughter?"

"Saved her."

I looked between the two people before feeling dizzy. I pulled Elijah down and leaned on him as he wrapped an arm around me. I looked at her before finally reconizing her.

"J-Julie? A-Aunt Julie?" She smiled at me before sitting down. "What... what spell did you use? I'm dizzy and sore. My gums hurt and I just wanna sleep."

She placed a hand on mine before speaking up. "Just a spell that costs some blood from doppelgangers. You'll be yourself soon, rest."

After her words I fell asleep. Elijah left and my father moved me to a safe place, his tent. I moved a lot before shooting up, awake and human. I got out the tent before looking at the witch, Aunt Julie.

I growled before looking around for my fiance, he was gone. Father walked over with a lovely meal, salmon and salad. I sat down, ate with him before throwing the plate at Julie.

"HEY-"

"YOU TURNED ME BACK WITHOUT MY FUCKING PERMISSION! I WANT TO BE A VAMPIRE, I WANT TO BE WITH MY FIANCE UNTIL WE DIE TOGETHER!" I snapped back before she could even speak. I got up before looking to my father. "I'm not a siren anymore, I'm a witch. I know I can do strong spells but I'd rather be a vampire. My life... my soul... my future is Elijah's to have. I'd do anything for him, Papa. You seen how he treats me, he loves me."

"And I would never harm her." I lit up like fireworks hearing my fiance's british accent. I spun around and hugged him before nussling closer to him. "Hello dear. Alaric is being dealt with properly so my family is whole and your family is safe."

"Thank you darling." I smiled up at him before kissing his cheek. I felt magic flow through me once again, I didn't want it. I looked down and sighed. "Turn me."

"Dear, enjoy being mortal for a while-"

"Elijah, turn me or I will find a vampire that will. I only do protection spells, rarely anything else. Magic isn't my calling, being a vampire is." I moved back before looking to Julie. "She won't turn me back if she wants to live."

"He won't turn you, he doesn't want to cause you pain. You should stay a witch, learn more spells be what your mother indended."

"What my mother intended?" I walked closer to her. "My mother intended me to smile, be brave, live for myself, protect my family, fall in love and have a family of my own." I picked up a knife before smiling softly. "I can do that as a vampire, a siren or a witch. She wants me to be who I wanted to be." I stabbed her arm before draging the knife down causing a huge injury to show. "And I chose to be a vampire, one called Isabelle Mikealson, wife to Elijah Mikealson." I dropped the knife before pushing her back onto a log and watched as she fell. "Love is a stong thing, especially when it comes to family or future family."

"Honey... you have turned into a... a..." I looked to my father, full face of sorrow and regret. I looked down as Elijah pulled me close before my father found his voice. "A strong, brave, beautiful woman."

I looked at my father before smiling softly after a brief moment of shock. I looked to Elijah before smiling brightly at him. "Ask him idiot." He chuckled before looking to my father.

"May I have your daughter's hand in marriage? I will take good care of her." My father thought silently at Elijah's question before looking at me. I held onto Elijah's arm tightly before looking at him.

"Well Papa, can he?"

"Of course on one condition." Elijah looked to my father as he went to speak again. "If death comes to her, you must live for her. You will grieve, wish she was alive, but you must never try to end yourself. Live for my darling girl and move on when she's goes."

"Papa... If I die it will be by a stake... it is up to Elijah what he does after that-" I was cut off by Elijah, I looked at him as he spoke.

"I promise."
