Warrior (Elijah Mikaelson Love Story)

Chapter 19

Elijah reached the pathway in between two factories that Freya had seen in her vision.

His breathing was heavy and he snapped his head backwards to see how well Freya and Niklaus had caught up with him. They were mere footsteps behind.

"Sh" Elijah quiet ended his breathing and homed is senses to hear anything out of the ordinary.

The breathing patterns of Lana made him perk his ears up. He pointed his finger to the left "she's in there"

Elijah stormed to the door and halted before opening it to ensure that the others were ready.

He nodded to Klaus and he nodded back, readying himself for any type of pain he will inflict.

Elijah opened the door.

The place was dark, almost dark enough that Elijah couldn't see, but thanks to his supernatural sight, he could just make out Lana on the floor.

"It's empty" Klaus commented, knocking down the empty metal bins.

Elijah didn't care about who else was or wasn't in the room. Lana was on the floor, but she was alive and she was breathing.

"Lana" Elijah nudged her and watched as she rolled over onto her back and she opened her eyes.

She blinked multiple times to re adjust her sight to the lighting and to focus on the man's face in front of her. She flinched when she realised that there was someone in front of her, scrambling back out of fear.

"It's me" Elijah calmed her down as her eyes darted around the room

She took a deep breath "Elijah" she reassured herself before she shuffled over to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

He felt her muscles relax as soon as they made contact and he heard her exhale in relief.

Lana muzzled her head into Elijah's neck. "Thank God you're here" she said "it was that bloody witch"

"I know" Elijah stroked her hair and rested his cheek on her head "we'll get her"

Lana nodded, she detached and looked at Elijah before looking into the distance "who's she?"

"This is our older sister, Freya" Elijah introduced her "we wouldn't have been able to find you without her"

"Witch huh?" She asked, getting up and walking over to her "I'm Lana"

"As you know, I'm Freya" she outstretched her hand for Lana to shake.

Lana took her hand and shook it "thank you" she nodded

Freya nodded in return, smiling lightly.

Lana rubbed her wrists, they itched and burnt at the same time.

Elijah looked down, and took her arm to examine the wounds closely. "What are these?"

"I don't know" Lana shook her head in confusion "I swear it's like a mutant version of Vervain, it itches and I'm sure it should have healed by now"

"I've seen it before but I don't know where" Elijah shook his head

"Let me have a look" Freya pushed through Niklaus and Elijah to have a look

She lowered her fingers to touched it before immediately flinching away "ouch" she said as it burnt her fingers "I've never encountered anything like this"

"Fantastic" Lana huffed "bitch witch infected me with something, ew it's all Wet and disgusting"

"Maybe I could get some of the liquid and run a test on it" she said

"Scrape away" Lana outstretched her arm "I'm not going to miss it"

"I'll do it when we get back" Freya smiled and lowered her gaze back to the sickly looking burn on Lana's wrist

"Do you know where she went?" Niklaus piped up causing Lana to snap her head around

"No" Lana shrugged "I don't even know why she left me, she was spouting this crap about framing my murder on Klaus"

"As if I would ever hurt you..." Klaus began to spit venom

"I know" Lana interrupted "but I'd watch out, she says that she was going to take control of you, to turn Elijah against you etcetera, but she didn't kill me and she even untied me"

"She must be planning something" Elijah suggested "Niklaus don't go anywhere near her, when she gets in your head, you can't get your mind straight"

"She won't get near me without getting killed" Klaus added.

"I just need to get some rest" Lana rubbed her eyes "the only shut eye I got is when my neck was snapped"

Elijah put his arm around Lana's waist and she rested her head on his shoulder. "Let's get you home" he whispered before placing a gentle kiss on the top of her head.

Lana nodded and began to walk out with Elijah. Niklaus and Freya followed shortly behind, watching all corners in case anyone decided to jump out.

Lana woke up from her sleep, her wounds still itching her and now it was getting her worried.

She slid out of her bed and began to run her wrist under ice cold water, which didn't even make her flinch.

She glanced up at her reflection with dead eyes, she didn't care about what she looked like, she only cares about the small rash right on her jaw line.

She leant in further and placed a finger on each side of the rash to magnify it. "Ouch" she exclaimed quietly to herself.

Maybe some fresh air could sort it out, the feeling hit her like a truck, she needed to be outside, she needed to get air.

Lana hopped downstairs quickly with a small cardigan wrapped around her body. Her hands grasping the ends and keeping the cardigan together. She looked rough, having black rings around her eyes and her hair was messier than usual, she didn't even bother to brush it. She didn't really care.

"Are you alright?" Elijah caught Lana half way down the stairs, the sight of him brought a little light in and made her smile

"Almost" she smiled "I need some air"

Elijah had his shirt sleeves rolled up, turning to the side and grabbing his jacket from the chair "I'll accompany you" he said, expecting her to refuse.

"I'd like that" she nodded, tucking a piece of frizzy hair behind her ear "I need the company"
