Stand Up Straight - with Harry Styles. (Under construction.)

Just A Thought.

There's an Oni in the castle. Elijah thought as he was waking up that morning. There's so many people staying here at the moment. If even one of them gets hurt...., well, it wouldn't be the first time someone has died in my care. He thought. It couldn't have been no more than 6:30am. He rose from his bed when there was a knock at his door. "Enter." He said. And entered his younger brother Finn. "Good morning, Elijah." He said.

"Good morning brother."

"I wanted to talk to you before you went downstairs."

"Okay. Go right along then." Elijah said he was getting dressed.

"I wanted to talk to you about the Oni." Finn told him. "I thought at least I could have gotten breakfast before I had to speak of this, but go on." He said. "Elijah, this is no joking matter. We all know that an Oni doesn't just show up out of the blue, and we have not had to face one in many years. Someone had to attract it. We have all these people here this week and it just so happens to be the same week an Oni turns up!?" Finn said in a loud whisper. "I'm trying to get things under control, i don't see you throwing out ideas on how to fix this." Elijah told him. "Maybe that's because you haven't asked me, because I have a great idea." Finn said. Elijah was a smart man. He knew all his siblings like the back of his hand so he knew what Finn was going to say before he said it. "And What is your idea?" He asked, just because. "We find the person that brought it in...and we kill them. We won't even have to face the Oni itself. We kill the person who summons the Oni, the Oni dies too." Finn said. Elijah had thought about this before he went to bed last night and after thinking it over he decided "We touch no one. We will kill the Oni, but we will do everything to protect the people that are in this castle." He said to Finn. "But Elijah we-"

"That's it." Elijah said, cutting him off. "We touch no one. End of it." He finished just as there was another knock at the door. Elijah took a deep breath and said "enter." In came Jenna. "Oh! Good morning prince Finn I was just about to come to your room to tell you breakfast is ready. Prince Elijah, I wanted to asked you about miss Caroline, should I call her down for breakfast?" She asked. "No. Send her food up to her today. I think it best if she rested in her room for the day." He told her. She nodded and turned to walk out the door to go about her day. Finn was turning to walk out himself but not before he turned to say "Don't try so hard to protect that girl Caroline. Nik might seem like he likes the girl now, but we both know Niklaus, once he beds her, he will grow tired of her and then he will kill her." He said as he walked out the room. Elijah didn't think Finn was just saying that to make him upset because he was right. That's how Niklaus was. He was reckless. He would find a woman with a pretty face then he would bed her, grow restless and then drain her dry. Dry of her blood that is. That was Klaus. Elijah started to worry about Caroline then his mind started to drift to his baby brother, Harry, who was so fond of Niklaus. Would he start to act like Nik? Would he be just as reckless as him? If so, Elijah would have to worry about miss Selena as well. This was too much, all he wanted to do was crawl back into bed and sleep. But he knew he couldn't. Elijah was the leader of the Mikaelson clan. The oldest. And had a duty as a older brother to protect his younger siblings. So he stood up straight, turned around to his room door, and walked out to attend to his day. - Everyone was finishing with breakfast when Lexi stood up to ask "Ladies! Join me in the garden, will you?" And all the women nodded. Since Selena's friend was stuck in bed all day, she decided to go with the girls. More surprisingly, Rebekah rose from her seat and came with them. The garden, as always, looked amazing. The sun shone beautiful on the flowers and trees this morning especially since this was London, Sunshine was rare. There was a little place in the yard where there were marble benches underneath some cherry blossom trees so it was more of a hidden place where you could look out from under the trees but someone would have to come close to see you. The ladies sat there. Well most of the ladies, Rebekah lingered by one of the flower trees they were under. Rose was the one who started the conversion. "Have any of you seen Caroline since last night?" She asked. Everyone shook their heads. "She needs her rest, maybe that's why." Selena said. "Needs her rest from what?" Rose asked. Selena was going to answer but then she seen Elena shake her head not too. "Um.." Selena was at a loss as to what to say. Lexi was the one to speak up "She probably need rest her for running from Nik, lord knows how much he chases that girl around the castle. I would need my rest too!" the girls burst into laughter. Selena looked over at Lexi who gave her a wink. "Selena, could you come over for a moment?" Rebekah said. "Princess Rebekah?" She said. Jenna was teaching her if she was going to Harry then she would have to behave like a lady and that means learning "princess" and "prince". She hated it, but she did it. "It's just Rebekah." She told Selena to called her. "Listen, I'm not necessarily fond of you but my little brother seems to like you which is why I won't kill you. But I will question you, and I will know if you're lying. Tell me, have you ever seen anything like you did in the hallway that night?" She asked. You would think that this conversion sounded more like a threat. But Rebekah sounded more concerned than anything. "No. I've never seen anything like it before in my life." Selena told her. "No, I really need you to think back. Maybe when you were younger? Have you ever seen anything like it before? Ever?" She asked. "Rebekah... is everything alright?" She asked her. Now she was concerned. Rebekah sounded desperate. And now she was gasping. Like she was going to pass out. "Rebekah!?" Selena asked. This alerted all the other girls, they got up to see if she was okay. But she wasn't, she was full on having a panic attack. She couldn't catch her breath at all and the corset she was wearing didn't help either. Elena ran back to the castle, luckily niklaus was walking past the patio doors that lead out to the garden. "Nik! Come quick!" She yelled to him. "What's wrong? What happened?" He asked walking to her. "It's Rebekah! She can't breathe!" She told him, out of breath herself from running. "What!?!" Niklaus was just as close to Rebekah as he was to Harry. She was his baby sister. Selena looked over and seen that they had found klaus, then next thing she knew he was standing next to her and Rebekah. Selena was actually startled by this, seen as she gasped and stepped back. "Vamp-speed" Lexi said to her. Selena had never seen it before, that's why it scared her. She looked over to Rebekah and Nik. Then she seen him do the same thing Harry did when they were in the hallway that night. He started whispering something, only he was holding Rebekah's hand as he did it. And out of nowhere came Finn, Elijah, and Harry. And for the first time, Selena was happy to see the Mikaelson family. Whatever Nik and Elijah started doing to Rebekah it seemed to be working. Her breathing calmed, and she was able to sit up after a few minutes. Finn directed all the ladies to return to the castle. While Nik carried Rebekah back inside, Harry grabbed Selena's wrist and pulled her deeper into the garden. That Sunshine that was out earlier in the day, was now gone. It was replaced by clouds that were full of rain, waiting for just the right time to burst. Selena could still see the castle but she couldn't see the others anymore. "Harry, where are we going?" She asked. He didn't say anything, he just kept her walking. After a few more minutes she started to hear something. Was that running water? Behind a little tree was a lake, just as she heard. The sun was going down and it made for a beautiful sunset. "Wow.." was all she could say. "You wanted to know what you saw and I think you deserve too." He ushered for her to sit on a large rock nearby. She was in a slightly big dress but she managed to sit. "Alright. I um..I Don't know how to start. Um... do you remember in Caroline's room that night and she sworn that she saw you in the room too?"
