Blood and Honey (Vampire Diaries FanFic)

91- Closer

After a while of silence, I speak. "What you've told me.." I say, trailing off, catching his attention. He looks to me. "I'm Sired to Klaus. We should assume that I can't be trusted with this information.." I say, sitting up. "What do you suggest..?" He asks. I think about this a while. "The night Mikael was killed.." I say. "He said we might be Sired to him, but told Klaus not to forget that we are still part Vampire, which means.." I trail off. Hearing those words, Elijah sits up more as well. "Which means, that you can still be compelled by an Original.." he finishes the sentence for me. "That's right." I say with a nod. "Are you asking me to compel you..?" He asks shocked. "One wrong move, one slip up, and Klaus will be all over us." I say. "Then, he will demand answers from you...answers you will not be able to hide.." he says, nodding understanding. "We have to prepare for the worst case scenario. I know you don't like it, but it's the only way to save you from being daggered again." I say. Elijah nods his head reluctantly. "You are right. I do not like it...but I understand the reasons behind it...are you sure you can allow this?" He asks. I sigh and shake my head. "Until this Sire Bond is broken, I'm not sure what is me speaking, and what is Klaus. I can't be trusted." I say quietly. "You're the only one who can do this, Elijah.." I say with an apologetic smile, before standing up.

Hearing this, Elijah sighs in defeat, before slowly standing, and walking towards me. Soon, his face is only a few inches away from mine again. "If I am to do this for you...I will need to feed. I do not want to risk my Compulsion breaking due to my weakened state.." he says hesitantly. Knowing what that meant, I nod in understanding. Raising my hand to the side of my neck, I bring out a sharpened nail, and slice a small gash into the crook of my neck, drawing a thin line of blood, before meeting his gaze. "Remember to take what you need, just like last time.." I say quietly. Sighing once more, he nods, before gently angling my head to the side, for easier access.

Once done, he looks to me once more, before the veins around his eyes darken, and his Vampiric gaze shows. "Forgive me.." he whispers, before lowering his head to the crook of my neck. Soon, I feel the soft sensation of his lips gently touch my neck, as he encloses them around the small gash.

But unlike before with my wrist, this time, when his fangs pierce the skin of my neck, a strange, almost pleasurable shiver runs up and down my spine, making me absent-mindedly take a couple fist-fulls of his shirt in my grasp, as if to steady myself, so my knees didn't give out from the sensation. As if feeling something similar, Elijah's grip on me twitches, and tightens, before he steps forward, making my back come in contact with the cool wall behind me, and pressing me against it with a quiet grunt. But, after a few more moments of this, Elijah finally releases me, before taking a few uneasy steps away. His breathing quicker than it was moments before. Snapping out of the fog that had taken up residence in my head, I take a step towards him in concern. "Elijah..?" I ask concerned. "I am fine...do not worry, just...wait a moment.." he says, holding out his hand, as if to stop me from getting closer, before turning away slightly, wiping away the blood from his mouth. "I-I didn't hurt you, did I..?" I ask, still concerned, but staying where I was. "No, quite the opposite in fact.." he says. After a few moments of silence, he finally seems to have calmed down, and sighs in relief. "The Compulsion...we should do that now. Come." He says, beckoning me over. Nodding, I walk over to him as he asked.

Once there, Elijah takes another breath, before slowly turning towards me. Once again, he gently raises his hand towards me, before angling my head so that I am looking directly into his eyes. "You Are Not To Speak Of Anything We Discussed This Evening; Or Anything Related To This, Anytime In The Future; With Anybody But Myself. Especially Not To Niklaus. This Rule Will Not Be Broken, Until Your Sire Bond Is Gone. Do I Make Myself Clear?" He asks me strictly. "Yes.." I say blankly, unable to resist the Compulsion. Sighing in relief, Elijah let's me go once again. "It is done. You should retire to your room to rest. We will speak more in the morning." He says, as I snap out of it. "Thank you, for everything, Elijah." I say with a grateful smile. He says nothing at first, before slowly reaching towards me, and moving a stray lock of hair, out of my face. "I will not stop until you are free of his hold on you. I Give You My Word, Raelyn." He says quietly, his thumb grazing my cheek gently. "Now go." He says, removing his hand from my face. Smiling again, I nod to him, before walking towards the door, before stopping, and turning back."And...sorry...for, y'know, throwing you and breaking your nightstand.." I say awkwardly. Hearing this, he chuckles. "It is no problem, besides, I like the nightstand better that way." He says with a small smirk. I laugh quietly, before nodding, and walking away.
