🥀13. There's something deeper going on🥀

It's the next day and they buried my sister. I'm here in the cemetery and I just stand here looking at her name. Imagine that, out of all the good things that made you a great person, the only thing left is your name on a tomb. "You deserved better." I mumble as I place my hand on her name and tears escape my eyes. The amount of pain that I feel in my chest hurts so much. I lost the last person who is my blood family and I don't understand what to do next. As I cry silently I feel a hand on my shoulder and when I look back it was. "Elijah."

"Delilah, I give you my sincere apology for the loss of your sister." He takes my hand in his and places a kiss on top. "Even though I feel as if it's somehow my fault."

"No, please don't do that. I know yesterday I said some things but it was out of pain and anger. You came back to town to keep your brother in line and you're trying your best." I haven't really spoke to Elijah but obviously I had more important matters to worry about.

He smiles at me and I grab a hold of his hand. "Walk with me?" He asked and I look back at my sisters grave and kisses it one last time before taking his hand and walking. "I know that you and Marcel or close, but I would appreciate it if you continued to live with us."

I look up at the noble one as we link arms while walking. I don't really know how to respond to that, I mean I would love to but Hayley hates me and I strongly dislike Klaus. "As much as I love the sound of that, I don't really jump up with joy when it comes down to your brother...no offense."

"None taken." He chuckles and I smile as I look at him but he keeps looking ahead. "It was just a thought, perhaps one day you'll accept my offer."

"Perhaps." I giggle and he looks down at me. "What happened to your other siblings? Are they daggered in Klaus's basement?"

Elijah laughs as we walk into Rousseau's and haves a seat in the back booth. I honestly feel like this is sorta a first date but, it doesn't matter what it is. I'm just happy that he's here and he's helping me keep my mind off of my pain. "Sadly no, I have 4 dead siblings."

My eyes pop open as I sit up and holds his hands. "That must've been awful." I tell the noble one as he looks at our hands. "I can barely deal with the loss of one sibling, I can't imagine the loss of 4."

Elijah is very strong, I don't really understand how he handles his pain. But if he's anything like me, then he must hide all of his troubles and pains behind a door. "I lost a sister and 3 brothers. Delilah, I'm not new to the pain of a loss loved one. Over the course of my years I've lost more than I can count." He then looks at me in my eyes. "Which is why we need to focus on these nose bleeds and figure out how exactly can we save you next."

I smile at the original in a suit and blush a bit. I find it somewhat romantic how he wants to focus on my problems. "Elijah, is that why you wanted me to move in?" He nods and I giggle. "That's sweet, I would love to stay and find out ways to help me."

He smiles and orders us some coffee and food, it feels refreshing to sit here with him. Although I'm still grieving, I know that my sister wouldn't want me to sit at her grave and cry. So now I need to focus on me, I know it sounds selfish but it's not. If I can figure out what exactly is happening to me then maybe I could figure out how exactly can I get my sister back. This should be easy and a piece of cake.

~Time Skip~

I'm now back at the compound and the place is crawling with vampires. All eyes are basically on me but I try my best to ignore them. Even though my heart is aching, I can't help but to smile and think back on the breakfast date I had with Elijah. I mean I don't really think it's was date, but I think it was a good idea to help me clear my mind.
