Favour - Elijah x Reader

You were a witch, you had a lot of magic, you were overflowing with magic. You often went into the forest to practice big spells that would cause a big explosion. You had kept being a witch a secret, you knew of the vampires in town and you weren't risking it, you weren't an errand rat. Then you met the Mikaelson family, Kol happened upon you in the forest and knew immediately, he also knew that you were extremely strong. Kol could tell you were dripping magic; he knew that added to why you were so strong.

Kol ended up becoming your best friend, who would've thought, a witch best friends with a vampire. He introduced you to the rest of the family and you became friends with the whole Mikaelson family. It wasn't long after knowing them that you started to have feelings for Elijah. So, when Elijah and Kol came to you asking for some help with other vampires, you absolutely agreed.

You never told any of the Mikaelsons about how you didn't want to be used for your magic. You had a feeling Kol might have known as he opened up to you about being very in touch with his magic before he turned. You felt like he would understand if you decided to tell him, but you were still new to the Mikaelson family and didn't want to be a burden. You'd do whatever they asked, mostly for Elijah and Kol. Klaus liked that they now had a family witch again and one that wouldn't just run away.

That was only the start of the favours, you pushed aside your feelings every time, and you did whatever they told you. They needed a locator spell, done and done, they needed a spell to hide them, already done, they needed a barrier spell, no problem. You hated that you let them walk all over you, but you kept telling yourself it was for Elijah and for your best friend, Kol. You spent some nights crying while sitting in your bed, keeping your sobbing as quiet as possible. You kept yourself fairly silent, you were worried about waking anyone up, but you always had a cover.

You hadn't officially moved into the Mikaelson house, but you spent almost all day, every day here. You wanted to leave, you needed to get out of here for a while. You really felt like they were using you for your magic, it was every day you were getting different requests. You felt more and more like a slave to the Mikaelsons. You had been warned before by another witch while you were out with Elijah. She told you that you would get used and abused until you died if you stayed in the care of the Mikaelsons.

It was a well-known fact that Klaus had gone through witches like a car goes through gas, you knew that not long after you befriended Kol. You didn't think it would be this bad, you told yourself from day one that you wouldn't be walked all over. But it was all in the name of love, you loved Elijah, you loved Kol, so you blindsided your feelings.

You were fed up, you were done, you didn't care anymore, and you went into your room at the Mikaelson house. You were packing up your clothes and a couple of other small things you accumulated over your time here. You were sobbing, you were so broken and burnt out, you couldn't take it anymore.

"Please, stop."

It was Elijah, he stood in the doorway and he looked worried. He tried to come closer to you and you stopped him, you held your hand out and your palm faced him, he stopped dead in his tracks. You knew that he knew that you were sobbing, he had to hear it and probably slightly saw how red your face was. He went further into your room and you kept your back to him, you didn't want him to touch you. He was trying to comfort you and you slowly started you get away from him. You took a deep breath to even your voice, you cursed it for being so shaky.

"Don't just don't. You won't love me the way I love you and it's not fair so just stop."

You retreated to the bathroom, you closed and locked the door, you knew he heard how your sobbing picked up. You stared at the mirror in the bathroom, your face was red and blotchy, your cheeks were tear-stained and you looked gross. You hated how you looked and you were so sad, you were angry how sad you were, you were mad that you let it happen, you were mad that they did this to you.

You hated how your eyes stared back at you, it made you feel worse and the anger was building. You weren't using your rational brain, you needed these emotions out, you punched the mirror, and your powers helped with that. Elijah busts down the door the second he heard the shatter, he sees the glass everywhere, then his eyes land on your hand. You held it against your chest, Elijah's face was filled with worry. He went to hug you; he wasn't taking no for an answer.

You fought with him, you didn't want to be lied to some more, you hated this. Your hands swatted at him as he held you against his chest. He eventually picked you up once you calmed down, he held you against him as you sobbed some more. You didn't even put thought into how your tears could ruin his very expensive suit. He took you out of the bathroom and sat down on your bed with you still in his arms, now straddling his legs. He was slowly stroking down your back; it was very calming and it helped you to calm down.

"I love you too," Elijah whispered in your ear as he kissed the top of your head.

You settled in his hold a little more as Elijah held you, you slowly found yourself falling asleep in his arms. This was a conversation for tomorrow, you needed to be calm to handle what was to come.
