Neverending

Chapter 12

She groaned as she held her head, she had the advantage of magic this time around so she handled the memories slightly better than other times.

Damon was looking between her and Elijah but she ignored him in favor of Elijah, a content grin grew on her face as she took a step towards him "Elijah!" She said excitedly only to be grabbed around the wrist when she tried to walk past.

"Not gonna happen Witchy! I didn't think I had to worry about you too" Damon snapped, pushing Elena behind him.

Her grin only grew when she saw one of her brothers "Damon!" She said happily as she pulled him into a hug.

Damon looked at Elinor confused, not understanding what had changed so quickly but she seemed like a completely different person.

She pulled away with a warm smile, her hands on his cheeks as she looked at him before taking a deep breath "I'm sorry brother" She said softly before snapping his neck. Elena let out a gasp when she did but Dela ignored him as she turned to Elijah with a blinding grin.

She ran into his arms and allowed herself to be pulled into a kiss "I love you Elijah, so much" She said proudly, not caring who heard, ignoring the sound Elena made in surprise.

Elijah gently cradled her face "I have missed you Elskan" he said tenderly.

She grinned before pulling away slightly to turn to Elena "When Damon wakes up tell him I'm alright, I'll come by and explain everything in a few days. You don't have to be scared Elena, I'll make sure everything is alright" she said simply before looking towards Elijah who picked her up and sped away.

She held herself close to him, her face in his neck as she waited for them to go somewhere private. She was trying to make sense of everything she remembered, it always took some time whenever she was flooded with her memories.

Things needed to settle into her mind, the spell making it possible for her to remember multiple lifetimes without breaking her mind. The human brain wasn't meant to hold the amount of memories she now had.

The spell that had been cast on her was incredibly powerful and intricate, only someone like Esther could pull it off.

"Elskan we're here" Elijah said, surprising her as he slowly set her onto her own feet.

She looked around and saw she was in someone's home "Where are we?" She asked, wondering if Elijah had set up a permanent residence.

"We are in the home of some allies of mine, the Martins are powerful witches. A father and son" Elijah explained simply, his eyes tracking her every movement, taking in the sound of her heartbeat.

"It's obvious you weren't there for me so I'm assuming you're after the doppelganger? Have you contacted Nik yet?" She asked as she walked around the living area of what she now realized was an apartment.

Elijah stiffened at the mention of his brother "No, I do not wish for Niklaus to learn about her until the time is right" He said evasively.

She picked up on his behavior immediately and looked at him pointedly, making it clear he wasn't fooling her "What are you planning Elijah?" She asked warily.

Elijah turned away from her, he had prepared to face her when the time came but that was after it was done. He knew she would be angry, probably hate him but he could deal with that if it meant getting vengeance.

"I want Niklaus to break the curse so I can end his life" Elijah said, not meeting her eyes.

She let out a gut wrenching gasp, taking a step away from him "Why would you do that? What could he have possibly done to make you turn against him in such a way?" She asked, her words sharp and accusing as she looked at him with betrayal written across her face.
