Epic Love [Elijah Mikaelson]

Chapter 45. France

In my impala, Elijah in the passenger seat and Rebekah in the backseat. I drive "Mystic Falls, I don't love this town"

Rebekah says "Rainy Seattle is better for you"

I say "Yes, yes, very better for me.

Elijah says "I told you before, no supernatural, no odds, live like any person"

Klaus' Family Mansion, Rebekah, I, Elijah, and Klaus are sitting at a table together. Rebekah says "Elijah, being a human means a fresh start. I can grow old and have a family and fill my days with meaning, knowing that each one matters." Smiles "You felt that way with Lydia"

I smile holding Elijah's hand and Klaus gives us a sarcastic look "Common, Klaus. Say something"

Klaus laughs "Well, that was poetic."

Elijah says "Well, if you can provide us with a more compelling reason for wanting the cure, Klaus, please."

"Silas can appear as anyone. He got inside my thoughts, convinced me I was dying. He will torment me until I give him the cure."

I say "The greatest evil scared of something"

Klaus gives me a dirty look.

Rebekah says "And in doing so he will break down the wall to the Other Side."

Klaus says "So it doesn't trap him there when he dies. He wants to reunite with his lost soulmate" To Elijah "You of all lovesick fools should applaud his devotion."

"He will open the floodgates for every supernatural being that has ever died."

"Including our dear brothers, Kol and Finn. We'll have our family back."

"Please, you hated Kol and you kept Finn in a box for most of his life."

"Elijah, please."

I raise my hand "If your dead brother back that means your parents too, Klaus"

Elijah nods "Your personal discomfort might not be sufficient reason for putting the entire world in jeopardy, Klaus."

"Elijah was going to take it but here, she wants that and you love her so give it to your sister, not Silas"

"I think our sister deserves a shot at happiness."

Klaus says "Tell me you're joking. Tell me you're not fating me to an eternity of torture."

"I made my decision."

Klaus swiftly stands and leans down to speak into Rebekah's ear "When you're sick and dying, and you beg for my blood, I will laugh in your face and compel you to forget me." Klaus leaves the room.

Rebekah remains carefully composed as she touches her hair and clears her throat to Elijah and me "Where is the cure?"

Elijah says "Rebekah, it's no secret that you are impulsive, emotional, and at times morally questionable. Prove to me this isn't just another one of your whims, that you know precisely what you are giving up here."

"Fine. Anything."

"I want you to live a day as a human. This day. No vampire privileges-- no strength, no compulsion, no nothing. If you succeed, if you still believe this is what you want, the cure is yours."

Rebekah is surprised, but releases the tension in her body with resignation and accepts the challenge.
