Stefan Salvatore & Maya Gilbert ~ The Vampire Diaries

Elijah Mikealson

New Orleans
I'm walking down the streets of New Orleans and it's got plenty of people in the streets around here for me to eat whenever I'm ready. But at the moment I'm kind of enjoying walking through and looking at all the things here.

"Mommy! Mommy look!" A hear a little girl happily shout to her mother, my eyes water but I quickly cover the pain up by turning it off. I have to continue to do it again on occasion because when I see a mother with a baby, it reminds me of Stefanie and I.

"Well, look at who it is" I raise an eyebrow and turn around. "Klaus, am I correct?" He raises both eyebrows, smiles and nods, keeping his hands together in front of him. "We haven't had a proper introduction" "I don't want one either" I say, turning around and walking away.

"Ooh" I hear. "Shut up" He says. "I thought that always worked?" "Yeah, yeah, I'd like to see you try it" "She's a vampire so she can probably hear every word so I'll not use her" I scoff and mumble. "Pigs"

I did happen to have hear that the humans here take vervain. So I, unfortunately can't snack on anyone because vervain is toxic to us. I settled with leaving tomorrow.

As I was walking the streets I hear, "I, and my family, have never seen you here before" "Ok" I say, continuing to walk. "I assume this is your first time?" I stop in my tracks. "I assume this isn't an interrogation, meaning I don't have to answer your questions" I say, turning around for the first time. He was handsome I'll give him that much.

"You have no idea who I am do you?" He asks. "Some random guy on the street harassing me" "I'm Elijah Mikealson" I shrug. "And is that supposed to scare me?" I had no clue who he was!

"You know if my brother or sister was in my place they would have killed you already" "Still hoping" He furrows his eyebrows.

"Who are you?" "Someone from a little town, visiting" He tilts his head and smirks. "I will ask once more, who are you?" "Maya Marie Gilbert" "Why are you here?" "I turned my humanity off after losing my daughter in a house fire not long ago" "Who was the father?" "Stefan Salvatore but I had been in a relationship with Damon at the time" "What is the true source of your pain" "It wasn't really my fault but i feel to blame, i feel as if i killed my own daughter" "Why?" "She was with me and I was trying to live a normal life, if I wasn't trying to live a normal life she'd be alive" "Forget this conversation"

"What?" I ask as he stands there, then holds his hand out. "Come with me" I looked at wearily. "I won't bite" "Fine" I roll my eyes.
