Dollhouse {Elijah Mikaelson Story}

Chapter 20

"Nice one" Athena said walking up to Elijah with her dress clutched in her hands "we've already been here though"

She was dressed in one of her old dresses and they were stood in her home town. Elijah was also dressed how he used to dress, minus the long hair. "It suits you" she smiled

"Your recent memories do not serve to a good purpose; I believe you might sleep well, if you make peace" he said

"I've made my peace" Athena replied "you of all people should know that I've come to terms with what should have been"

"You've learnt to live with it" Elijah corrected her "I want to make your mortal 20 year old self happy, I want to show you what you wanted your life to be" he said

"You barely know my human self, what on earth could you show me" she said

"This" Elijah nodded forward and Athena followed his gaze.

"Athena" what she saw made her jump back.

Demetrius, Apollo, Arcadius and their mother stood all grouped together waving her over.

Athena glanced back at Elijah who nodded her forward. "Hi" she smiled as if they were strangers.

She gave them all a tight hug and they gave one back. Demetrius stood out most of all, he lifted his daughter and spun her around. "My daughter" he smiled "who knew you would be a fine young witch"

She smiled innocently "I'm only one because you have taught me father" she giggled and turned to Apollo.

"Sister" he smiled, hugging her again "you need to let go"

"Let go of what?" She asked

"Us" Demetrius added "you need to let us go, we aren't the same as what you see before you"

"I will let go" she nodded "but for now I just want us to stay like this"

"We can dear" her mother pressed her lips together in a smile "but something tells me your friend has something else to show you before you wake"

Athena turned back around to Elijah, who watched her "come here" she said and Elijah walked slowly over "I want you to meet my family"

"I've already met most of them" Elijah smiled

"My real family" she corrected "these are the people I grew up with, and I know they aren't real but I want you to see" she said

Elijah played along.

"My father" she introduced, holding her hand out for Demetrius to take and she pulled him closer to Elijah.

Elijah shook his hand "firm grip, very nice" Demetrius commented.

Athena giggled, knowing that Elijah was controlling this dream, but she was glad he was playing along. But what she didn't know was Elijah had no control over this part, something else was happening.

"My mother" she introduced

She walked up and hugged Elijah "you would have done amazing in our family" she said

"And my brothers" she finalised. They walked up and shook his hand

"Thank you for looking after our sister" they said

"Sweetie" her mother took her shoulders "you're going to follow Elijah now, he has something you must see" she smiled in excitement.

Athena turned around to Elijah and back to her family "I don't want to leave you" she choked down a sob and concealed the tears in her eyes.

"You have to go at some point" Demetrius said "you'll be with us again"

"Goodbye" She said, her voice cracked before she turned around to take Elijah's hand.

"I hope you take comfort in the fact that what ever just happened over their was not in my control" he said

"So who did that then?" She asked "if not you then who?"

"Your guess is as good as mine" Elijah shrugged "but I'm guessing it is someone who doesn't want you to worry"

"Those people over there" she motioned behind her as the descended into the forest and to somewhere Athena had never seen before "they were my family, not the people that turned on each other... We were actually normal once"

Athena kept glancing around her to try and adapt to her surroundings.

"As were we" Elijah said "if you're wondering where you are, I'm afraid you won't know"

Athena cocked her head and blinked at him in a certain way it made his heart flutter.

"Now, this is my home"

"Yours?" She asked before stopping in front of a small town, children ran around them as if they weren't there.

"Yes and now I want to show you my story" he said

And then they walked. They walked past Elijah sword fighting with Niklaus. Athena found it hard to believe that Elijah's brother could be so innocent and sweet like be used to be.

They walked past the crowds and heard the sobbing noises of Esther as she found Niklaus with Henriques body.

She jolted at the sight and felt sorry when she saw Elijah's face as he stared at his dead brother for the second time. "You don't have to show me this" she said.

"I do" he replied, walking away now. "We had such a great life, until that day, so my father goes to my mother and forces her to tap into her dark magic to protect us"

Athena found herself inside now, behind a small semi circle of Elijah's family, kneeling down looking scared.

Athena knelt down next to the young Elijah, who trembled, looking towards the floor. "You look distraught"

"I had just drank someone's blood, I was bound to be" he explained "I was confused, I didn't know what happened next"

And then Athena saw what happened next. She jumped back as each and every Mikaelson died by the hand of their father, even more so when Elijah died.

And then she woke up. In fact they both woke up. Athena had turned on to her stomach and had been lying across his chest, so when the jolted awake, they were staring at each other.

Athena's hair was over her face, which she immediately brushed away before crashing her lips into his.

Athena straddled Elijah and arched her back as they kissed even more passionate with ever second.

Elijah grabbed her neck and pulled her to the side so the light hit her face perfectly.

It didn't take long until he had torn his favourite shirt off her and his shirt lay in a messy pile on the floor, with his trousers and every thing else he and she was wearing.

Elijah started to kiss along her jaw bone and then lower to her collar bone, earning a slight moan from her as he nipped along.

She flinched as she felt his fangs scrape along "just remember I'm human" she said "I can actually feel pain"

Elijah shut his mouth for a bit to get rid of his fangs before resuming leaving the trail of fiery kisses.

It felt Natural and amazingly good to just feel her bare skin rub against his, it was just so soft and smooth, as if she fitted him better than his suits, she suited him better as well.
