Warrior (Elijah Mikaelson Love Story)

Chapter 5

"What is it?" Klaus stormed to the window where he saw an army of witches and wolves holding torches

"They can't get in" Elijah informed Lana who looked scared, but he didn't know she wasn't. "We have a barrier, no supernatural beings can break through unless they're invited in"

"Yeah but they're not going to go away if they can't get in, they'll wait us out" Lana spoke up, both Elijah and Niklaus were kind of surprised at her contribution "we can get out there, get our hands dirty"

Elijah looked at Niklaus. It was hard to believe that a few moments ago she was on deaths door and now she wants to get out there.

"Excuse me love" Klaus started "but when we had our chat, you said you didn't want tonnes of people getting killed"

"Tonnes of innocent people" Lana corrected "they started this, why not give them what they want?"

"If we go down to the basement, there are some passageways that lead to the streets" Elijah had made it his business to memorise all the nooks and crannies in the house, including secret passageways and hiding spaces.

"What are we waiting for? Let's get the others" Lana turned swiftly and walked down the stairs.

"I'm not sure I like her cockiness" Klaus added once she had gone

"I'm not sure" Elijah smiled to himself "I quite like it"

"You would" Klaus scoffed to himself as he ran down the stairs behind Lana. "Everyone listen up" he shouted once he was downstairs, all vampires snapped their heads to look at Niklaus, who now had Elijah stood next to him and Lana behind him.

"As you may have seen, the wolves and the witches are outside, waiting for a battle" vampires snarled and looked at each other, ready for battle. "We're using the basement exit, split yourself into three groups and me, Elijah and Rebekah will all lead you into battle"

Without realising it, Elijah's hand had flew onto Lana's wrist. "You're with me" he smiled.

Lana swallowed and nodded "we'll take north" she demanded, Elijah couldn't do anything but nod in agreement.

"I'll take the east and Rebekah takes the south" Klaus looked around, standing by his group "we'll meet in the middle and whoever kills the most wins"

Elijah had now moved with Lana over to their little group and Rebekah was now with hers.

"Are you ready?" Elijah looked down to the small girl. Thinking of her as innocent and still young, maybe she was scared?

"Than I'll ever be" she smiled as she walked down the stairs of the basement, leaving Elijah absolutely baffled by her courage.

The sound of stomping feet and angry cries from the army outside vibrated the wooden panelled basement.

"This way" Lana said hushed to her fellow vampires, leading them to the small door that lead them into the street.

Elijah pushed his way to the front of the crowd. He wasn't sure if Lana would actually be the one to lead them out, so he wanted to check.

"Let's go" she smiled when Elijah reached her. She pushed open the wooden door in the ceiling and toppled out first, followed by Elijah and the rest of their group.

Lana charged straight into battle, ripping and tearing, biting and hissing. Everyone who came in a meter radius would immediately meet death.

Elijah fought beside her, admiring her courageousness and independence as well as fending off a few wolves himself.

When they had a chance, a split second of peace before a new batch of wolves and witches tumbled in, Elijah looked over to see Lana rip her dress above the knee and throw the scraps away.

"I didn't know there would be more" she almost laughed to Elijah as well as plunging her hand to rip out the heart of a scraggly wolf.

"Come on" she shouted into the air "is that all you got?"

They all fought and fell like China dolls, the slightest of touches would cause them to shatter into a million pieces.

Eventually, Elijah saw the familiar face of his brother come around the corner and then hear someone shout "retreat"

And now, all enemies tried to turn around and run for safety, but few got caught within vampires grasp and only a small few left with their lives.

"Victory" shouted one vampire followed by other hollers.

"Is that the best the could do?" Lana approached Elijah immediately after realising that he has been staring at her for a while.

"I'm not sure" Elijah thought to himself, this could only be the beginning, first they're weak but they grow stronger, smarter. Elijah had witnessed this many times before. "You're hurt" he finally realised the gash on her outer thigh.

"damn" she played as if she had only realised, the truth was, it was so painful for her, she was bitten towards the start of the fight "those rings"

"Two bits in a row tonight" Elijah couldn't help but make the joke

"Unlucky or what?" She laughed in return "we still have a few hours until sunrise, hopefully we can find your brother, again"

"Im sure we can do that" Elijah smiled, weaving his arm around her waist to keep her upright and to help her with her walking.

"Thank you" she smiled, placing not her arm around his shoulder for support as they both walked to find Niklaus.

Elijah realised something when he had this strange girl attached to him; this girl wasn't just a vampire like the others.

This girl was a warrior.

Omg guys
As you've seen on the photo that I FREAKING MET DANIEL GILLIES! And he told me he loved me and called me sweetheart! Such a great experience and he is an absolutely amazingly funny man.

I also had a photo op with Sebastian Roche, who actually scared me a bit before I met him but he is so hilarious! He got me up on a chair in front of the whole audience and told me to stay there for the rest of his panel...

Needless to say, I sat down and he realised "BROGAN NO, STAND ON YOUR CHAIR HAVE I TOLD YOU TO SIT?"
I'm definitely going next year! Those were my highlights. I swear I could talk for hours about everything I've seen, so don't get me started ;) but you can if you want me to
