Warrior (Elijah Mikaelson Love Story)

Chapter 18

Freya's dirty blonde hair glowed in the candlelight as Elijah and Klaus entered her room.

"Brothers" she breathed with a smile wiped across her face "to what do I owe the pleasure of this lovely visit"

"I need a spell" Elijah stepped forward and examined a bowl of herbs in his hand "I believe a powerful witch may have already cast one; so I need an even more powerful witch to overcome it"

"What spell is this?" She took a small bowl from the counter she was working on and placed it behind her.

"It's a locator spell" Elijah said "I believe someone may want to block it and I believe you can help us, can you do it?"

"I can do locator spells with my eyes closed brother" she smiled "who are we trying to find?" She placed her hands down on the worktop

"She's called Lana" Elijah said

"Ooh a girl" Freya raised her eyebrows "is she a special friend?"

"I suppose she is" Elijah smiled to himself

Freya looked over to Klaus who stood with an angry expression on his face "and I'm sure our other brother cares for her as well or he wouldn't be here"

"She's like family" Klaus said quietly

"We have a lot of history, all of us did" Elijah finished when Klaus couldn't, his face filled red with anger

"Well I need something of hers" Freya looked at both brothers

Elijah reached into his trouser pocket and dragged out a necklace "her friend said she always wore this"

He placed it gently on the table as Freya began to place small green herbs around it.

"Well I hope she's not too fond of it" she smiled "if you want to see where she is, grab my hand" she outstretched both hands to the brothers and they took it. Klaus a bit more reluctant than Elijah.

Freya squeezed their hands as she closed her eyes. Before the brothers knew it, the necklace flew up in a pile of flames, almost making Elijah jump back.

And then he saw her.

Lana sat there, the picture was unclear, it blurred a lot, but he could tell it was her, he would always be able to recognise her.

But the presence was immediately darkened when Elijah felt someone familiar near her.

And then he saw red. Lana's blood which immediately drained as she healed.

"Maria?" Elijah's eyebrows knitted together as he recognised the woman inflicting pain upon Lana, he didn't know what with. But he yelped out in pain as she struck Lana over and over again as if he were the one being hurt.

"You know that woman?" Freya finally disconnected and the flames died down, leaving a very melted necklace.

"Yes" Elijah shook his head in disbelief "but she died; Lana killed her"

Klaus looked absolutely furious "how the bloody hell did she come back to life?" He asked

"I suppose she wanted revenge, for your girlfriend killing her" Freya suggested, searching through a pile of papers and books on the desk behind her.

She finally pulled out a folded up map and quickly unfolded it. She then proceeded to scoop some of the melted metal into a small bowl and pour it on the map.

Her hand outstretched and pointed towards the pool of silver liquid and t suddenly began to move.

"You'll find her here" she said; pointing to a baron part of New Orleans "there's not much there, only two abandoned factories which I suppose should be easy to find"

"Let's go" Klaus turned on his heel to go out of the door when he halted as he realised Elijah still stood still

"She's a witch, Niklaus" Elijah looked at him "she has physically controlled my body, now how are we going to steal away someone she wants? That is without a witch"

He looked to Freya, who didn't seem to be as talkative.

"Please" Elijah knew she knew what he was hinting at, and usually Freya would try her hardest to stay out of her brother's trouble.

But the desperation in Elijah's eyes and even that shred of sadness in Niklaus' just made her melt a bit.

"Family is family right?" She smiled slightly looking at both brothers "if we're going to get your girlfriend back I need some things"

-

"Ouch" Lana spat some blood from her mouth as Maria struck her again. "Do you mind?"

Her arms were tied to a wooden chair, they would have been easy to break but they were drenched in vervain. Lana had actually gotten used to the burning sensation in her arms.

"You beheaded me" Maria hissed "I think I deserve a little entertainment before you die"

"You know people will be looking for me" Lana blew a tiny piece of hair from her face "I have an army, a big one at that; not to mention two originals"

"First off; I can take down a vampire army with a small wave of my hand and second of all, I'm sure you only have one original brother on your side" she smirked "it was an awful shame about Elijah though; I think you did the right thing by cutting all ties"

"You've watched me?" Lana asked

"Yes; it was best for both of you, because Elijah will be absolutely distraught when he finds out you were brutally murdered" she ignored Lana's question "he might just drive himself insane if he knows Niklaus was the one to kill you"

"What are you on about?" She asked a bit louder

"I went barking up the complete wrong tree when I took Elijah for myself; I really should have taken Niklaus" she said

"Klaus will torture you if you lay a finger on him" Lana tried to wriggle out of the ropes but she couldn't

"Elijah is more... Brooding don't you think? At any moment, anything wrong someone else does, he'll snap" she clicked her fingers "and poor Elijah finding out his own brother had a secret agenda to take your army over and kill you to stop any complications from happening"

"They're not stupid you know?" Lana scoffed "you'll just die all over again; but this time slower, I'll enjoy hearing you scream in pain"

"I've had enough of this" and with a click of Maria's fingers. Lana's neck snapped.
