Original Frenzy (A Vampire Diaries x Originals Fan fiction)

Unexpected Visits

"You look beautiful darling." I hear Kol say, making me blush and turn around to see him with a sly smirk plastered on his face.

"Why thank you. You don't look too bad yourself." I wink at him, making him grin.

"Is that code for 'you look devilishly handsome tonight'?" He jokes, making me laugh.

"You caught me." I raise my hands in surrender, eliciting a soft chuckle from my bronze-haired companion.

"Why are you alone? Where is my lovely brother tonight?" He asks, slipping his arm around my waist.

"Kol...." I mutter in a warningly tone.

"What, I'm not doing anything! Just accompanying the beautiful lady he's abandoned recklessly." He grins, making me roll my eyes and shake my head in amusement.

"Of course you are."

"I'm devastated that I didn't get to ask you to be my date before my brother did." I sigh, putting my hand on his chest, leaning up to kiss his cheek.

"I know and I'm sorry too. Maybe next time?" I say, receiving a nod from him before I leave him to find Elijah.

"Elena Gilbert." I hear a familiar voice call out, making me turn to the origin. My eyes widen as they set onto a familiar dark-coloured man. Where have I seen him before? Oh Klaus' 'son'. Um... Marcel!

"Hi, it's Marcel right?" I ask, as he kisses my hand.

"Nice of you to remember my name." He winks at me, making me smile and blush. "You look stunning by the way." I blush and thank him as he grins at me. "Who's your date tonight? You can't possibly be unaccompanied, looking like this and all." Just as I open my mouth, I feel an arm wrap itself around my waist, pulling me into a hard and firm body. I look up, breath hitching and exhale relaxingly when I see Elijah.

"That would be me." Elijah says pointedly, raising one eyebrow at Marcel.

"Elijah Mikaelson, what an honour to meet the noble brother." Marcel says, shaking Elijah's hand. "You're Elena's date?" I nod, smiling at Elijah as I intertwine our fingers, rubbing circles onto the back of his hand using my thumb to calm him down. "Certainly lucky of you, if I had known about this sooner I would have asked you myself." He says cheekily, winking at me causing me to smile politely.

"Marcel, I would advise you to hold your tongue when talking about Elena like that. She is my companion and I'm certain you know better than to mess with an Original. Or would you like me to call Niklaus so he can demonstrate?" He says in a deadly tone, making Marcel quirk his eyebrows.

"If that were the case then maybe your brother would already be in control of New Orleans. Being an Original doesn't mean anything when you're here. Unlike you, I have an army. So I'll talk to Miss Gilbert however and whenever I like as long as she doesn't object." Marcel challenges Elijah, puffing out his chest. Noticing a fight forming, I step forward, getting in between of the two men.

"Stop it. Both of you. You're attracting attention, and not the good kind." I warn, looking pointedly at the both of them. "Marcel, it was really nice seeing you again. I apologise on Elijah's behalf for his rude manners." I say, smiling politely before bidding goodbye. I pull Elijah away, swatting his chest with the back of my hand lightly. "You should know better than to say things like that!" I whisper, causing Elijah to frown.

"Sorry. Just seeing him look at you like a piece of meet ready to devour made me want to rip his heart from his chest." He growls, unconsciously clenching his fists again.

"Elijah. I'm here with you. Or did you forget what happened upstairs?" I whisper, going on my tiptoes to kiss him.

"Mm, I haven't forgotten." He sighs, kissing me again.
