A Quiet Life in Mystic Falls

Twisted Arm

"You called him!" she heard Elena say in a betrayed tone.

"I'm sorry Elena," Rose said.

"You said that you understood," she scolded at the vampire.

"She lied,"

"Damon Salvatore," A girl said in amazement, the redhead was surprised there was someone else in the house.

"Get rid of her," he said in an annoyed voice.

"No way," she said grinning as Rose led her out.

"Come on, we're leaving," Damon said.

"No,"

"I said were leaving." He said sternly.

"I'm not going with you," Elena said stubbornly.

"You do not get to make decisions anymore," Damon hissed at her.

"When have I ever made a decision? You and Stefan do that for me. Now this, this is my decision."

"Who's going to save your life while you're –"

"You're not listening to me Damon. I don't want to be saved." She argued. "Not if it means that Klaus is gunna kill every single person that I love."

"Get your ass out the door before I throw you over my shoulder and carry you out myself." he said darkly.

Azalea sighed.

"Will you back me up," he said looking at her.

"Sorry Damon, if I do that than I am a hypocrite," she said, making her companions look at her.

"What?" they both said.

"Were here to meet the doppelganger,"

They all span round to see the two vampires who had just entered the room.

"Thank you for coming," Elena said trying to go forward, but Damon caught the top of her arm.

"I will break your arm," he snarled with his teeth clenched, then he turned and smiled at the vampires. "There is nothing here for you," he said charmingly, though you could hear the silent threat.

Before anyone else could move a man appeared, he blurred in as Rose disappeared, though Azalea barely noticed. She recognised the man.

"Elijah? I killed you. You were dead." Damon said his voice confused.

"For centauries now,"

"Bloody hell." she whispered, taking a step back to compose herself.

It was him!

"We were going to bring her to her to you, for Klaus, she's the doppelganger –" one of the two vampires told him.

"Enough, does anyone know you are here?" Elijah said.

"No," they said together.

"Well then, you've been very helpful." He said smiling before plunging his hand into their chests and removing their hearts. He looked up at the people close to the doppelganger. His eyes moved from the black-haired vampire too...

"Azalea," he said softly, he blurred up to the redhead. He hadn't seen her in so long... She was here in the middle of all of this.

"You are Elijah," she squeaked. "Elijah Mikaelson. Then who... don't say that he..."

Elijah smiled as she slowly put the pieces together, understand forming in her green eyes.

"Who was the other man?" Azalea demanded, having a feeling of dread in her stomach.
