✔️INTERTWINED HEARTS; Niklaus Mikaelson (1)

17.

-'CHAPTER 17´-

Nik was gone by the morning, most likely busy as the blonde had slept in. Elaine had found a single red rose on her nightstand with a note that read 'have a great morning love,". Elaine had wandered the house until Rebekah had told the blonde she was unlinked from the Mikaelson's, despite that, Klaus and Rebekah had encouraged her to stay as they both believed she should still be protected plus Rebekah said it was easier for the two to hang out now.

Elaine had ultimately agreed, deciding it was for the best. The woman was now sitting on her bed listening to music and reading a book when her phone rang.

The blonde grabbed it after finishing reading her sentence, expecting it to be Kol complaining about how bored he was, but to her surprise, it was Caroline

The blonde answered it, sitting up in bed and putting a marker in her book.

"Hey Care whats up?" The blonde greets.

"Okay, I let you miss the decade dance. Your one pass of missing one of my events is gone now, by the way, but you are helping me clean up," the vampire demands.

Elaine laughs lightly. "Isn't Rebekah helping you?"

"Yeah, but we're a trio, you know, so come on."

"Fine Caroline," Elaine says, sitting up, "but only because I love you.".

"I can't believe Matt bailed," Caroline complains.

Elaine holds a trash can as Rebekah puts in some trash that littered the auditorium.

"Said he had work," the original shrugs.

"Are you still crushing on him?" Elaine asks, nudging Rebekah.

The original rolls her eyes. "It doesn't really matter. I don't think he likes me back," she mumbles.

"I love Matt, but you could do so much better," Caroline speaks up. Elaine nods in agreement.

"If only I could meet a better one," she mutters.

"You will" Caroline says "it may take a while but you'll meet someone who appreciates you and loves you as much as they should" Caroline says as if she believed it with her whole heart.

Rebekah smiles lightly.

"When did you get so philosophical?" Elaine asks teasingly.

"Ever since I saw you and Klaus, I started believing in true love," the vampire jokes.

The blonde rolls her eyes. "I'm going to go start in the auditorium," she says, setting the trash can down.

"Mhm," Care replies.

Elaine walks out the door. Even though it was after hours being in her school, it felt ominous as the empty hallways echoed with her steps.

The blonde walks, staring down at her shoes until loud steps echo beside hers. She looks up to see Alaric, a cold look in his eyes.

A few days ago, Caroline had told the woman about his alter ego and how he had died, yet here he stood.

"You're supposed to be dead," she mutters, taking a worried step back.

The man smiles. "I am."

Suddenly, he grabs Elaine harshly, throwing her to the lockers. Her body immediately aches at the harsh impact.

Alaric pulls out a white oak stake, but before the man can move again, Rebekah and Caroline speed forward, throwing him off Elaine.

The blonde quickly moves out the way before Rebekah grabs the stake, her and Caroline is stabbing the man, yet it doesn't seem to affect him.
