Athena stepped into the compound and was greeted with a vampire pinning her against the wall.
"I don't want to kill you" she calmed herself and stopped her magic from flowing.
The vampire bared his fangs and hissed "you shouldn't be here witch"
Athena cleared her throat and began to give he vampire a burning sensation in his head. "I said I don't want to kill you but if I have to harm you to get you off of me, then I will have to"
The vampire jumped backwards, clawing at his head, trying to get inside to stop the feeling.
Athena readjusted herself and stopped the vampire from crying.
"Killing already?" Klaus intervened before the vampire could get up and attempt to sink his fangs in
Elijah quickly followed behind, to see what the commotion was
"It was actually self defence, your... Friend, here just tried to rip out my jugular and that is one part of my body I'm very fond of" Athena squinted her eyes and gave Klaus a sarcastic smile
"Athena are you alright?" Elijah now worried that Athena had found their plan out and was coming for revenge.
"No, actually I'm not alright" the soft Athena Elijah saw had no dissolved back into her interior "I think my father is planning to kill me, the weapon that can kill me is gone"
"What ever do you mean?" Klaus asked. Elijah could see the amusement in his eyes and the restraint to not laugh in front of her. Which mad Elijah kind of annoyed.
"To put it in ways incompetents can understand..." She rolled her eyes "weapon kill me... weapon put in safe place... weapon stolen... Daddy have weapon. Comprende?" She said sarcastically as if speaking to a baby
Klaus pressed his lips together and tried not to laugh.
"I need a place to stay; I can't risk being there tonight, he could kill me" Athena urged
Klaus looked at Elijah. "Well we can't have you dying before you kill your father now can we" Elijah smiled, lifting her bag from the floor "I'll show
You to a room"
Athena followed Elijah eagerly to the spare room, which wasn't too bad. It wasn't home, but it'll do.
"Thanks" Athena watched Elijah lay her bag down and turn to her
"My pleasure" Elijah nodded and began to walk out of the door.
"Elijah?" Athena's voice cause him to turn around and take shock of what happened next.
Athena's arms quickly wrapped around him in a tight hug "I mean it, thank you" she whispered in his ear.
Elijah was taken aback by this. His arms weren't touching her, but when he became more comfortable, he rested one hand on he back of her head and one on the bottom of her back. Her amazing scent filled his lungs like it were a drug that he just couldn't get enough of, it was so distinct and unique, so beautiful; she smelt like lemons, it was refreshing"What for?" He asked.
She quickly broke off and straightened out her shirt. "No one has really taken such an interest in to my life and actually bothered to ask me how I felt, or what has happened to me, you cared and I appreciate that" she smiled
Elijah smiled in return. Not knowing what to say. Maybe 'don't get too used to it, I'm the one that has your dagger' or 'you can feel that way but you're definitely going to die at my families hands' anything along those lines would be super inappropriate.
"It's not that hard to care, Athena" Elijah finally decided on what to say "maybe you just need to re evaluate who you associate with"
"I am" she nodded "trust me"
"I'll see you in the morning" Elijah caressed her shoulder and shut the door behind him.
She took off her clothes and folded them neatly and slipped back into her pyjamas.
-
Elijah tossed and turned in his bed. Athena was actually genuine. Nobody cared for her by the sounds of it, not even family.
It turns out her family was far beyond repair, they were more broken than his family.
His thoughts cut off when he heard athena's scream from her room. The only thing he could think of them was what if Klaus had gotten to her with the dagger.
In a fit of rage and panic he jumped out of bed and stumbled straight into Athena's empty room.
The light switched on and Athena was curled up in the corner of her bed looking awfully disorientated. Her nose was bleeding and tears stained her cheeks.
"Are you okay?" He asked, Breathing heavily in relief that Klaus hadn't acted stupid
"Bad dream" she brushed it off as if we're nothing, shutting her eyes and leaning her head against the wall "I'm fine"
Elijah sat on the edge of the bed, nearer to her and she crawled up beside him, for comfort and safety "do you want to talk about it?" He asked
"Not really" Athena shrugged "just my dad trying to kill me"
"I've had that many times" Elijah chuckled
Athena looked up at Elijah with wide eyes, he was actually there for her when she had a nightmare. Nobody had been there for her in worse times.
She quickly jumped up and placed a small kiss on his jaw line.
"I'm sorry" she jumped back
Elijah raised his eyebrows and looked at her in shock but not in the bad way. He actually liked the feel of her soft lips brushing against his face.
"I have this thing... I misread things... If someone cares I just... I apologise, please can we forget about this?" She babbled and ended on a sentence Elijah could actually understand.
He took her hand and dragged her a bit closer "are you so sure I didn't want the same?" He asked before leaning down to her and pressing his lips against hers.
Athena almost jumped back. Not even Cyrus had kissed her with that amount of passion and it felt somewhat nicer than when she kissed Cyrus.
Her hands gripped the back of his neck as they kissed, she didn't break off, even though some part of her... The smart part of her told her not to.
But some part of her told her not to trust him, not to even associate with him. The dream was not about her father killing her; it was about Elijah killing her.
But it only told her how much she actually cared for the vampire, as she felt the mixed emotions of anger, hurt and betrayal when she woke up.
But this kiss had convinced her to deny all the voices in her head against Elijah. And every single one was silenced when they were making contact. When Elijah was exploring the shape of her lips and tasting her.
Athena broke off after what felt like a lifetime and rested her forehead on his with closed eyes. "I'm tired" she whispered "I should get to sleep"
"As should I" Elijah whispered just as quiet as her. He pecked her on the lips once more.
"Your brother wouldn't be happy if he found out about this" Athena caught Elijah's attention before he stood up
"Then no one will find out" Elijah tyler before stealing out of the room.
Both of them felt as if the whole plan would be compromised if they let feelings cloud their judgement, especially Elijah. So they had to do some serious re evaluating of what had happened.
Elijah felt guilty more than anything. Maybe it was the thought of her father killing her that drove her in to his arms. But whatever he thought, whatever he felt must be kept under wraps because they had the dagger, there was no going back.
