The Vampire Diaries Imagines

Imagine: Elijah Heartfelt Memories

3rd Person POV
Hayley stayed with Elijah while the poison from the bite (courtesy of Klaus) pumped through his veins.

Elijah laid on the bed, fearful of  the memory he knew would resurface...the one he kept under lock and key in his own mind.

The memory of (Y/N) (Y/L/N).

"P-please, don't let the memories take me," he begged Hayley.

Hurt swam in her eyes and she just dabbed the wet cloth on his forehead.

"Be strong 'Lijah."

'Lijah

That was enough to trigger his favorite memory of (Y/N).

Elijah walked into the room and saw (Y/N) humming happily while cooking something that smelled delicious.

"Well, well, what have I stumbled across here?" The man teased.

"Oh hush 'Lijah, keep teasing me and you won't have anything to eat." (Y/N) teased back a and continued cooking.

Elijah came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, burying his face in the crook of your neck. "Find by me, I don't need anything anyway."

(Y/N) smiled, "I think you will want some of this," she smirked, "don't you smell that?"

Elijah took a deep breath and his mouth began watering. Blood. But not just anyone's blood, hers.

His eyes turned, vampire face coming out.

(Y/N) laughed before untangling herself from him. "Told ya!"

Elijah quickly composed his self. "It seems you win."

(Y/N) laughed happily before giving him a quick kiss.

"Love you 'Lijah." She said for the first time.

"And I you,"

He woke up and tears swam his eyes. "(Y/N)..." He whispered, "...don't leave me."

Hayley sighed, it was obvious he was dreaming of someone he once loved deeply; and it hurt her to see the man she was falling for dream of a woman he loved...loves.

Elijah coughed feebly his already naturally pale face becoming paler and sweat dripped down his face. "I am sorry Hayley for what this," he coughs, "memories must be doing to you. Please accept my sincerest apologies."

Hayley forced a smile on her face. "It's fine your sick, it doesn't hurt me."

Elijah smiles ruefully, "You're a crap liar H-Hayley." He coughs again.

Hayley smiles and dabs his forehead.

"Niklaus!" Elijah screamed bursting through the door.

"Yes brother?" Klaus wipes his bloodstained lips and kisses the slutty girl's hand.

"What is this rumor I've heard about witches in the town?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Do not lie to me Niklaus I am your brother not one of your hybrid sired minions."

"Well brother I spread the rumor because I didn't not wish for our father to find us and we'll the witches need to be taught a lesson."

"Have you forgotten," Elijah took a deep breath trying to control his anger, "that (Y/N) is one of the witches that you may have sentenced to death?"

"Oh no not really. In fact she's the whole reason I put the blame on the witches rather than the werewolves."

Elijah's vampire face flashes on. "I will kill you."

He grabs a dagger and stabs it into his brother's heart and his face turned all grey. (Idk if this can actually happen but let's pretend)

And as fast as he can go, Elijah rushes to (Y/N)'s house praying everything is still okay.

"Elijah!" Hayley choked out. "E-Elijah please!"

Elijah suddenly blinks and loosens his grip on her throat. "I-I am terribly sorry." He steps away and turns so his back is facing Hayley. "I should not have done that."

"It's okay. I mean you weren't yourself." Hayley said massaging her throat.

"I do believe I am all better. We best be going." Elijah walked out and to the car and his eyes still brimmed with tears.

The drive back to New Orleans was quiet and slightly awkward to Hayley. She like Elijah but she could see he still wasn't over (Y/N). And Elijah was still holding back tears from memories resurfaces.

They arrived sooner than expected and neither got out of the car.

"Elijah," Hayley started to say softly, "what happened to her?"

Elijah swallowed thickly. "It doesn't matter, she wasn't important." A lie he didn't even believe himself.

"Well I think it does, 1,000 plus years of memories and that's the one that resurfaces?" Hayley countered back not believing it either. "Show me." She turns to face him. "Please."

Elijah takes a shaky breath and presses his fingers softly against her forehead.

Elijah vamped over to (Y/N)'s house and saw people bring her out screaming "WITCH!" They were tying her up to a pole and forcing hay around it.

(Y/N) brings her tear stained face up to meet Elijah's shocked face.

"STOP! PLEASE! SHE'S NOT A WITCH!" Elijah screamed trying to make it through the hoard of people without giving his vampire status away.

"ELIJAH!!!" (Y/N) screamed above the roar of the villagers. "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!!"

And that was the last words she spoke.

Elijah brought his hands away and tears were in his eyes.

"I haven't loved another woman since."
