Warrior (Elijah Mikaelson Love Story)

Chapter 10

"Elijah" Maria yelped as she saw the man walk towards her

"Maria?" He asked in concern as she fell to the floor. He fell after her "what happened?"

Elijah examined her face, it had three claw marks that scratched her cheek and her nose was bleeding immensely

"Your brother" she pushed out "he came out of nowhere" and then she began rambling "he just turned on me"

"That's impossible" he whispered to himself "he was just at the brothel"

"Vampires can move quick, Elijah" her voice turned serious and then back to her normal self "does he know about us?"

"He knows I am seeing someone but not a witch" Elijah thought for a moment, he was certain that Niklaus barely knew her identity. Never mind the fact she was a witch.

"Well he probably knows know" her blue eyes were filled with concern and something else that Elijah couldn't make out "we have to get out of here Elijah, me and you"

"I'm not sure" he furrowed his eyebrows, how could he leave

"Always and forever has ended, my love, it is time for our story" she grabbed his arm. How could he say no to her? He just wanted to give her everything in the world

"Okay" he smiled to her. Maybe it was time for him to look after himself. Niklaus didn't need him, Lana probably hates him. This was Elijah's time.

"I have a cavern down in the bayou" she started walking "come on, we can stay there whilst we figure out where to go and how we can get there"

"Klaus" Lana strode in the next night heavy footed

"Oh great" Klaus said "if you're picking a fight, I can easily decapitate you on the spot"

"Maria" she exclaimed "Maria Theodora Deanmonne"

"And who is that?" Klaus asked, amused at her seriousness

"Elijah's little girlfriend" the words killed her but she had to say it, to help Elijah

"Do I see a bit of jealousy? Lana I'm not sure why you are telling me this information, it's not my job to keep tabs on who he sleeps with"

"For starters, I'm not jealous, secondly, you sure as hell kept tabs on me when Elijah was seeing me and lastly; you should be concerned because that girl right there, she's a witch" Lana raised her voice "and now I can't find him"

Klaus sat up at the mention of his brother with a witch "she was in the inner circle"

"Well part of it" she corrected

"I will look for him, he's probably avoiding you" he said

"I don't see how you can be so snarky right now" Lana shook her head

"I'll inform the others" Klaus stood up and hopped downstairs "if anyone has seen my brother, please inform me and tell him I'm looking for him"

"I saw him last night" a man raised his voice and everyone turned to stare.

Lana stepped closer to the man to hear what he had to say

"He was with that witch you attacked, they were on about leaving the city" he said

"You attacked that witch?" Lana turned around and almost hit Niklaus "you told me you didn't know of her and you've practically driven him away now"

"Hold on" Klaus said "Lana, you were with me all that night, I didn't attack any witches"

"Then why did she say..." Lana lost her words as she followed her train of thought. "we have to find him right now, that witch wanted to lead him away from us for some reason"

"Did he say anything about where they were going?" Klaus asked urgently

"They were talking about some place in the bayou before heading off somewhere else" the man seemed frightened of Klaus

"The bayou is huge" Lana worried "and we don't have much time, I've only got until sunrise and you're the only vampire who can walk in daylight, you can't do this alone"

"Here" Klaus slipped something into Lana's hand secretly "sh"

She opened her hand and saw a silver ring with a blue stone in between intricate carvings "is this what I think it is?"

Klaus nodded "we need to hurry"

"Vervain?" Elijah asked as they were in a meter radius of the cabin Maria had spoken so fondly of

"It's just a precaution my love" she smiled and grabbed his hand "it won't hurt you once your inside" she pulled him past the plants and indoors

It was very... Quaint. With a stove and a bed all in one room. But it was perfect for the pair. He didn't really need anything more.

Maria searched the cupboards for different ingredients "sage" she listed and oiled them all up

"What is this for?" Elijah examined the small basket of what smelt like lavender, just like her hair. But it didn't look like it. It was a yellow ish colour.

"Nothing" she grabbed it back out of his sight "a locating spell blocker, we don't want anyone finding us do we?"

"Of course not" Elijah smiled, taking her hand

"Okay then" she shuffled from his touch and proceeded to mix the ingredients together. Maria picked one stem of the lavender smelling plant out and crushed it in her hands before adding it to the concoction.

"Drink" she urged the cup forwards "all of it"

"I never recalled a blocking spell having to be taken by liquid before" Elijah observed

"It's more effective" Maria urged more, telling him to drink it all

"Aren't you going to have some?" Elijah asked confused, surely if the spell was to protect both of them, she would need some

"I've already drank mine, when I was making it" she lied

Elijah finished the cupful and gave it back. Suddenly a sharp twinning pain in his stomach, chest and head crippled him "agh" he cried out as he fell onto the bed.

Maria walked up and stood over him "its working"

"The blocking spell?" Elijah managed to push through his pain to ask if they were successful. But surely this wasn't a blocking spell.

"Not exactly" Maria leant forward and placed two hands on Elijah's head. And with a quick snap, she had just locked in her spell.
