The Destined Protector

Read your mind

As we were driving, my stomach growled quiet loudly. I am as red as can be from embarrassment. Elijah probably heard, but I haven't eaten anything inlike 20 hours, so who can blame me?

I see a convenience store in front of us and Elijah stops there. He indicates for me to get out. We go to the shop and he said," Buy some food and drinks. Clothes. Whatever you need.I will pay."

Oh.Okay. I will do that.

I walk through the aisle and realise I am still in a formal dress. I pick a few comfortable dresses, underwear and some toiletries. In the food section, I pick a blue powerade, a chicken and mushroom pie and two chocolate bars. I find Elijah and says." This is it. Thank you by the way. I am just going to the restroom after you pay."

Elijah is just glad to be near her. He wants to learn more about her.

After he paid and compelled the guy not to ask questions, I went to freshen up. I got dressed in new clothes. I used some wet wipes to remove my smudged make-up.

I walk out and Elijah was waiting by the car. "Can I eat in your car or are you a clean freak?"

Elijah let out an adorable chuckle ... do not think that. He is a dangerous hot vampire ...

" No,it's fine. You can eat in there." He walked around and opened the door on the passenger seat. He is such a gentlemen.

We start our travel again to Richmond, and I devour my
food. I see Elijiah glances at me, now and then. I pull out the chocolates. I wave one of the bars at him, "This one is for you.As a thank you for food. Well, it was your money..."
Before I could nervously ramble on, he gently grabbed the barand our fingers grazed, and he said,"Thank you,it is very nice thing for you to do."

After a few hours of a comfortable silence in the car, we stopped at a house outside Richmond.

He helped me out of the car and we walked inside a two story house It was very modern . Totally Elijah's style.
"So how about I show you to the quest room and we both get freshen up.''

I just nod, looking at the decor of this house,he
carried the bags of the shop to a room on the first floor. Wow. It is a beautiful house. We both showered and looked much better.

I went to the living room and Elijah was waiting there.
"So, where to start?" I nervously fidgeted with my hands and joined him on the couch, Elijah looked at me curiously.

"Klaus lied about your family. They are safe in warehouse.
...Uh. There is a lot of things. I managed to save a good vampire from dying; I physically couldn't change some things."

" I am sorry you are going through that." Elijah looked at me with sympathy.

I came up with an idea,it can save a lot of time if I show him.

I glanced at him and asked, "What if I show you the visions? To explain everything will take too long." Elijah was surprised by this and explained,"To do that, reading your mind is tiring. Are you sure?"

I nodded and said ," I trust you, Elijah." And removed my vervain items.

He moved closer and sat so that our legs touched.
He faced me and held my head between his hands and our foreheads touched. Our eyes closed and I opened a part of my mind.

I showed him some of the important things I can remember.

Salvatores coming to Mystic Falls. Katherine in the tomb. Him getting daggered twice.Klaus coming to town. Elijah's witches dying. The ritual, Jenna dying, Klaus admitting his familyis safe. Klaus as a hybrid. Mikael's awakening,him dying.Ester and her plans. Finn and Kol's death.

I pulled back and saw Elijah with tears in his eyes. I gave him a tight hug, he was at first shocked at the movement, but quickly hugged me back. He couldn't believe this was his future. But he thought 'Me and Grace can change it.'

He saw that I was not moving anymore and he become worried. I fell unconscious of all the exhausting mind reading. He gently carried me and put me on the bed in the guest room. He sat on the chair next to me, just keeping an eye on me if something happens.
