Falling In Love With Elijah Mikaelson

Chapter 57 (Final)

I woke up still feeling that bad telling in my gut. I walked down the stairs to see Elijah making breakfast and the mess we made the night before. I picked up vase pieces before placing them in the bin and hugging Elijah.
 
"Last night was fun."
 
"Love... we broke a lot of things."
 
"Oh no did we break the jacuzzi?"
 
"No but we did break-"
 
"Then it's fine. The couch can be replaced easily." I sat on the worktop and took a pancake from the plate and ate it before drinking some blood.
 
"That feeling still there?" He looked at me before placing the final pancake down and turning off the stove. I nodded before placing the glass down. "I'm sure your just worried now we're married."
 
"Probably but I wouldn't have it any other way." I kissed his cheek before getting off the worktop and picked up more pancakes to eat with my blood. I know we didn't need to bit it made us feel more human than we are.
 
"Isabelle! Ya home!?" I groan as Troy walked in the house and over to us. "Hey Isa-"
 
"What?" I looked at him and glared before eating the pancaked. He told me why he needed me. "Tell her to shut up so you can rest or just kill her. Now shoo!"
 
He left and me and Elijah ate together before cleaning up our mess. We picked up vase pieces, a broken painting, removed the couch and sweeping the entire house clean.
 
I sat in the sun in just a bikini to act like a normal human sunbathing in their back garden, Elijah had family work so he left and I was bored. Troy joined me with his partner, Harry. Harry is a werewolf, he's smart but uses his strength more. Harry has a sister called Halley and she lives with him and Troy and she is very annoying.
 
"Why him?" I looked to Troy before sitting up and fixing my hair. "I mean, yeah he's hot but why him?"
 
"He loves me and keeps me safe. He never lets me feel terrible." I looked to Harry before looking back to Troy. "Why him?"
 
"Same reason." He sat up and looked at me. A question rang in my mind as we looked to the sky.
 
"So why are you here?"
 
"Got a job to do but wanted to see you first."
 
"Ooooo, you finally became the vampire assassins?"
 
"Yep! Killing rogue vampires that kill everything in their way."
 
We both sighed before lying back down. Harry joining us finally. I closed my eyes and relaxed my body, I felt better, the bad feeling still there but less.
 
We spent the day talking, catching up, watching movies and doing random things like trying to hang upside down on a tree. I was dangling by my legs as Harry took a picture. Troy threw water on me making me fall off the branch and chase after him. Troy was childish but he knew when to ne mature.
 
I tackled him as Elijah walked in the house. I waved before tickling Troy making him laugh like crazy. Harry walked over and explained what happened while Elijah picked me up and put me on the couch. He had a serious look on his face.
 
"Honey?" I got up and took his hand as he looked at me. "What's wrong?"
 
"We need to move. People know what we are somehow." My eyes widened before calming myself and let his hand go.
 
I paced the living room thinking out loud. "We could go to New York or the UK. Oh Hawaii! No wait to sunny." I kept thinking not realizing Troy was gone.
 
Hours passed before Troy came back in saying we could stay. I asked what he done and turns out he compelled everyone to forget, the village we were in never knew of vervain so it was easy. I thanked him before looking to Elijah, he was glaring at Troy.
 
"I told you already, he's gay." Elijah just walked away after I spoke leaving me confused. Troy walked away with Harry before I went to the bedroom.
 
I got changed into comfy clothes and went back down to see what was wrong with my husband. I walked to him to see some blood on his hand, it didn't smell human. I grabbed a cloth and wiped it away to see a small stake like bullet in his hand.
 
"Elijah, who shot you?"
 
"I didn't see them but their sent was familiar. I worry you might be targeted."
 
"I'll be fine, Honey. Now let's get you cleaned up, fed and ready for movies!" His soft smile appeared on his lips as I gently removed the small stake and cleaned the blood more before walking to the freezer for the blood packets.
 
I grabbed plenty before walking to the couch and setting them on the table before calling Troy and Harry. We all sat on the couch as I put a movie on. I sat beside Elijah near the end of the couch while Troy sat to the other side of him. I smiled and leaned on Elijah as the movie started.
 
We watched movies until night fall, Troy left with Harry while me and Elijah cleaned up. I hummed a tune as I cleaned the living room before hearing glass shatter. I ran to the kitchen to see Elijah bleeding, his shoulder pierced with a stake. The attacker was here, I heard them run away.
 
I took the stake out his shoulder before throwing it into the fire. It was a normal stake so he'd be okay but worry started bubbling in my stomach, I wanted to puke at how much pain my worry caused me.
 
Elijah hugged me from behind before kissing my cheek and saying he's okay, he was just glad I wasn't hurt. I was no where near him... the attacker is targeting Elijah only. I moved from him before going up the stairs, I heard him follow as I went to our room.
 
I sat on the bed and brought my knees to my chest, I worried for him but he didn't seem phased at all. He sat beside me before taking my hand, I quickly hugged him and nuzzled into his neck.
 
"And you tell me not to worry. Isabelle, if I find them, I swear they will die and we'll be okay again." I looked at him before replacing my head by his neck.
 
"But they're targeting you, they might find out you need a white oak stake..." My worry made my voice shake as Elijah's arms wrapped around my waist to hold me closer. "I don't wanna lose you."
 
"Your not going to my dear." He lifted my chin before smiling at me and pecking my lips with a gentle kiss. "Now, get ready for bed." He moved me so I was standing before smiling at me. "I'm not going anywhere, don't worry."
 
I smiled slightly before going to the drawers, I heard something get cocked as I opened the top drawer. I looked out the window and seen a man holding a crossbow with a stake. I sped in front of Elijah as the stake got shot. I felt it pierce through my skin and my heart.
 
I screamed before feeling something comfy under my body. Elijah layed me on the bed before speeding off but the person was already gone. He sped to my side and held my hand as everything burned and my skin went paler.
 
"Why did you do that?" I looked at him weakly as tears brimmed his eyes. I rubbed his hand gently with my thumb as the pain became numb. "A normal stake doesn't kill me."
 
"I couldn't let you be hurt again... I wanted to save you..." I squeaked out before he kissed my temple near my eye. I smiled weakly as the numbed pain turned to fire. "I love you Elijah, I'm happy to die as your wife and partner."
 
"Don't say that..." Tears slowly fell down his face as My sight slowly darkened. "I love you too, Isabelle." I heard the door slam open and felt wind before seeing a very regretful Troy.
 
"I'm sorry... I was aiming for him! Why did you take the hit!?" Tears steamed down his face faster than rain during a storm. Then it clicked, the familiar sent, the male outline, his anger towards Elijah.
 
"Troy...killed me?" I watched the scene before me as my father and mother appeared by my side.
 
I watched as Troy was slammed into the wall and his heart ripped out by Elijah, rage in his eyes as tears fell down from them. He dropped Troy's now dead body before going back to mine. I smiled sadly at him as he kissed my hand then my cheek and finally pecking my lips before apologising as my body turned to dust.
 
I floated over to him as the final part of my body disappeared. I looked at Elijah before whispering out, "Until we meet again my original."
 
Everything faded as my father and mother took me to the afterlife. We floated all around Mystic Falls before finding Jeremy. He seen me and smiled before noticing my sorrowful look.
 
"Izz? Please no." I walked over before nodding as tears fell from my eyes, he ran away amd towards a group, the group that would take care of him and Elena.
 
I watched as he told them. Elena broke down, screaming and crying while Jeremy hugged her crying, their bodies shook as their tears fell. Bonnie looked around before seeing me, she let out a sob before covering her mouth, tears streaming down her face within seconds. Caroline hugged Tyler as she started to shake, he tried comforting her but it was all in vain.
 
Damon and Stefan lowered their heads in respect as I walked over. I wanted to say how much I cared for them. I wanted to say I didn't mean to hurt them but I said a few words before fading away for good.
 
"Living a life without any of you, without the love, the adventure, the pain, the mystery, is a life I wouldn't want. I love you all and I'm sorry."
