Committing Arson With Style - Elijah Mikaelson

Chapter # 2

Caroline stared at the homey scene longingly. Sometimes she wishes that all that ... act was actually real. She wanted to go back to having a mom, dad and a cool older sister. They were much simpler time and seeing it like this made her nostalgic. She stilled when she felt a hand land on her own hand. Her eyes lifted to meet her sisters and the soft that her sister gave her made Caroline feel much warmer; maybe she still has her sister.

There was a sound of the door opening of the small house and Melina smiled as she recognized the name before calling out her two kids.

Melina: Dad's home!

The two girls immediately ran to the door. Diana at much slower rate than Coraline, the blonde man entered the room. He wore glasses with aged lines and wore casual clothes that looked slightly ruffled. He picked the youngest blonde twirling her around and went to ruffle her hair but she flinched away it wasn't something noticed by the younger blonde but the adults did and Diana greeted him with an awkward smile trying to ease the tension.

Diana could feel all eyes on her but she resisted the urge to shift. She did nothing wrong and she refused to let some half-baked werewolves, hormonal teenage vampires and annoying teenagers who just can't die made her feel any different.

"Trouble in paradise, Barbie 2.0" Damon whistled eyes mocking but before Diana or Caroline could do something a pen found its way lodged in the vampire's throat. Stefan rushed to support his brother as the screams of doppelganger echoed throughout the room. Brown venomous eyes found the bored impassive ones as Elena glared at the suited original.

"How could you, Elijah?"

Elijah gave the bruntee a cursory glance before replying in an even tone "Old dogs are rarely capable of learning new tricks Ms. Gilbert. Though if by some miracle Mr. Salvatore do learn to keep his mouth sealed shut, I give you my word that there shall not be a repeat of this"

Kol couldn't help but smirk. It has always been entertaining whenever his older brother took the stick out of his arse and stepped in. People saw Elijah and fell for his façade fast but it was just that, a façade. They were all Mikaelson; Vikings who had been taught to kill since birth and Elijah's hands was just as bloody as theirs if not more. He just hid his bloodlust better and for a good reason. History seems to paint him and Nik as the ruthless ones, the psychotic ones and seems to forget just what kind of monster his older brother had been in their early days. He wondered though if the young mysterious blonde knew just what kind of monster she was married to. Though he suppose he should ask this question to his own wife as well. As if drawn by his gaze the pretty witch met his eyes and held not backing down. It was only the start of the movie that made them avert their eyes.

Diana: Hey, Dad.

Alexei: Hey, baby.

Alexi smiled at her not bothering to speak about his daughter's reaction but his body was tense and eyes unreadable. The family sat at the dinner table enjoying a quiet dinner but the strange tension lingered.

Melina: Everything okay?

(Alexei SIGHS)

Melina: How was everybody's day?

Coraline spoke up excitedly oblivious to the tension in the room.

Coraline: Mommy taught me about lamp bugs.

Caroline blushed as her older sister cooed at her younger self unaware of a pair of green eyes that glanced at her adoringly.

"You were pretty cute as a kid" Rebekah spoke up with slight hesitation not knowing how to approach the two blonde sister who would one day be family.
