bad idea, right? (Elijah Mikaelson)

Chapter 28

The coffins are gone. Was the text she received by Damon the next morning so she simply rolled over to the otherside of the bed knowing that Klaus wouldn't bother undaggering any of his siblings any time soon. But her peace did not last long as Damon called her.

"What?" She asks with a scoff.

"Meet me in the woods." Damon tells her.

"Cause thats so specific." She retorts, slowly getting out of bed as she very quickly gets changed.

"Use those werewolf senses." Damon tells her and hangs up the phone.

"Or you can go fuck yourself." She mutters to herself as she makes her way to the kitchen. She grabs the vervain wated she stored in the fridge and shakes her head. "a litre a day keeps the originals away." She says to herself before downing it in one. She resists the urge to throw it all back up and she goes to the freezer to grab a blood bag, drinking it to soothe the pain. Alex makes her way out of the apartment and tracks Damon's scent to the woods he was witing for her whilst on the phone.

"So you're prime suspect, huh?" Damon asks over the phone.

"What happened? Ric been accused of the medical examiner death?" Alex wonders but Damon shakes his head.

"Elena's prints were on the stake." Damon informs her.

"Plot twist." She smirks, walking whilst damon is walking to some kind of destination.

"She doesn't think i did it. She's just trying to find out why somebody used one of my family weapons to kill a council member." Elena explains to the two.

"Ask Ric if his new girlfriend had access to the weapons." Alex says to them.

"You're on speakerphone, dick." He scoffs.

"She's just saying, first suspect is usually the right one. Don't get so defensive." Damon adds, supporting his friend.

"Brian walker was killed days ago, alright? I didn't show her this stuff until last night." Alaric dismisses.

"It wasn't meredith." Elena insists.

Damon, however, doesn't agree. "But Brian Walters was her ex boyfriend and Ric saw them fighting that night."

"It's not meredith. Okay? I refuse to believe that your luck with women is that tragic." Elena says to the man and Alex laughs.

"Burn." She says over the phone.

"Who else knows about your secret little slayer stash?" Damon asks the man.

"Who doesn't? Got weapons everywhere, here, the school, my loft, your car." Alaric explains.

"What if it was stefan? He was crazy that night. And you know he was trying to get underneath klaus' skin, he was capable of pretty much anything." Elena asks rather cautiously over the phone.

"What about you Alex, what were you up to?" Damon says, turning to his companion.

"Oh i was killing someone but i covered mine up." Alex dismisses.

"Anyway, where are you guys?" Alaric wonders.

"Tea with an old friend." Damon says and hangs up the phone as they continue to walk in the woods.

"Tea? Really? What are we doing here?" She asks him with a sigh, stopping in her track when she saw Elijah.

"Elijah. My favourite Original, back from the dead. Clean up nice." Damon remarks, looking at his freshly cut hair.

"You left something in my jacket pocket." Elijah muses.

"Oh yeah. 'Dear Elijah, let's get together, plot the destruction of your brother, xoxo.'" He quotes.
