Warrior (Elijah Mikaelson Love Story)

Chapter 12

"It's your turn" Klaus walked out of the room and told Lana

"How is he?" Lana had been sat outside ever since they had brought him in. She was worried.

"He's been asking non stop about you" Klaus shook his head and rubbed his eyes "he is obviously himself, but after a few minutes, he would ask about the witch and curse us all to a life in hell"

"Okay" Lana nodded "absolutely fantastic"

"Are you sure you'll be okay keeping watch?" Klaus asked with actual worry for Lana

"I'll be fine, you saw how he broke through when he heard me" Lana re assured him "if not I could just snap is neck, you go and look for that plant cure thing"

"Okay" Klaus said "if you need anyone, there should always be vampires downstairs"

Someone had tipped Klaus off that there is a plant that always counteracts the effects of the one that had been used. Unfortunately, if a vampire touches it, they immediately burn, so a human or Klaus could only be the one to retrieve it. And Klaus didn't trust any human.

"I'll be fine" Lana patted him on the back and continued into the room.

"Who goes there?" The sight of Elijah lying on the bed broke her heart. But even though he wasn't really in love with the witch, he still had broken her heart, and she felt slightly smug that karma had taken effect.

"It's me" she said quietly

"Lana" his head shot up quickly, followed by a slight moan in pain "I've been asking for you"

"I know, I heard" she was quite shy to say that she was in a room with someone she had actually fell in love with

"I'm sorry" he said "for hurting you, I wouldn't do anything like that"

"It's alright Elijah, I know you wouldn't hurt me on purpose" she stepped forward but immediately stopped herself from getting any closer "so I guess you're beginning you control yourself?"

"Most of the time" Elijah grunted "where is Maria?" He asked in a different tone of voice

"Elijah..."

"Where... Is... Maria?" He asked in a more demanding tone. This time he stood up "it was you, you murdered her in cold blood, you were jealous"

"Elijah, she was going to hurt you" Lana argued

"No, you were jealous because out of your petty life, you couldn't even get your parents to love you, I didn't even love you, I spent time with you out of pity" he spat, venom in his voice.

"Elijah!" His words hurt, like a stake in her heart. But her voice was loud and sorrow filled it so much that it slightly broke through

What was he thinking? The voice snapped him out of his rage, the voice of someone he had loved previously. It was Lana. Lana, the girl he ignored but she was still here, looking out for him.

But she killed his one true love. He needed Maria and out of jealousy, she killed her. Tortured her in front of his eyes.

But he didn't love Maria. His thoughts flipped from one side to another until he settled back to his normal self.

"I'm sorry" he collapsed on the bed again "I'm really sorry"

"It's fine, you don't mean it" Lana gulped, still stinging from his words

"Where is Niklaus? He should be here by now" Elijah worried. His eyes flicked to the desk in the room and the wooden chair, he knew his other side was planning something
