Epic Love [Elijah Mikaelson]

Chapter 60. The River in Reverse

In the Bayou, Elijah is laying on a bed in Dwayne's old shack, tossing and turning restlessly.

I stand at his bedside and try to feed him some water "Here, drink this. "

Elijah drinks from the cup I offer, but he immediately starts to gag and cough. He's pale and sweaty and clearly miserable "Forgive me. Please."

"It's okay. Remind me to annihilate or curse or bleeds your brother once you're healthy."

"Yes, remind me to remind you to get in line."

"It doesn't help that we decided to shack up in a swamp either." I walk to Hayley out onto the porch, leaving the door open to let the breeze into the shack.

Hayley asks "What you will do?"

I shake my head "I did everything in magic"

When Elijah starts to cough, we immediately rush back.

I put my hand on his cheek "Love, Are you okay?"

Elijah nods "I'm fine." He turns to Hayley "Please, just... return to your reading."

I nod at her "Go, I'm with him"

"I went through the whole thing. It's just a regular Bible... With an entry in a family tree that may or may not be me."

I smile at her "Elijah, I'm a little busy worrying about you so I called ade to bring us kanima poison that will help a little."

"Lydia, please. This fever will make me unstable. And once the hallucinations begin, I'll start to see things. You must leave me here take Hayley and go."

I shake my head "I'm not leaving you like this."

Unbeknownst to either of us, the werewolf Eve is lurking around outside the shack.

Hayley is outside of the shack near the lake. She hears Elijah groaning in pain inside and returns to his bedside.

I'm sitting down on the bed next to him and puts my hand on his forehead to gauge his temperature.

When I touch him, I transported into Elijah's memory from the 1800s

A woman, Celeste, is relaxing in a bathtub when Elijah enters the room

Elijah wonders "Celeste?"

Hayley notice me look concerned and slightly jealous.

Elijah suddenly realizes he was hallucinating "Lydia, I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else."

I give him a look "Celeste. Whoever she was, she was smokin' hot."

Hayley leans on us "What is going on?"

Elijah concerned and embarrassed "Did I let you enter my thoughts? I'm not well. I should go. This is..."

I kiss his forehead "This is fine, Elijah. You're sick, I'm taking care of you" I smile "When you wake maybe I will snap your neck"

Elijah senses something outside and looks out the window "We're being watched. "

Hayley walks outside to find Eve standing several yards away. When she sees Hayley, she runs in the opposite direction away from her "Hey. Hey!"

I turn to Elijah "I hope she back alive"

I'm still in the shack, sitting on the bed with Elijah's head in my lap as I continue writhing restlessly while he hallucinates more memories
