To kill a monster (Elijah Mikaelson)

Chapter 22

"I'm glad you all made it"

A darkened room in the pits of the French quarter, deep down through the back alleys and around some corners and through a small door. The room, it was used for shelter, a hiding space in the 1700's where humans would hide from the vampires, the witches or the werewolves. Whoever terrorised them.

It was dusty. But the occupants didn't really mind. Where they have been for the past couple of months-centuries was actually terrible, dark, dusty. 10x worse than this.

Daniel's face hit the light of the candle, showing his identity to the others in the room.

"I didn't think we had a choice" someone spat in the back, a heavy accent hanging onto his angry voice "I vowed to never live under the thumb of a ghastly witch"

"Mikael? It's Mikael isn't it?" Daniel asked, "I'm sure you'd find me far more diabolical than your Davina witch." He said "I won't hold you back, you can murder all the vampires you want"

"What about me?" A sweet voice with a French accent made itself known "I only want one vampire, one original vampire" she said

"Celeste..." Daniel identified the curly black hair that was tied up in a bun "you can have Elijah Mikaelson all to yourself as long as I can get that girl"

The 3 turned around "last but not least" Daniel smiled "Louise" he held his hand out for her to take it. She smiled sinisterly at him.

"Together we will be unbeatable" she announced "the Mikaelson's and every other vermin that dares to stand by them will perish especially that Sasha"

-

Sasha walked down the stairs in her jeans and shirt.

"Are you okay?" Elijah asked

"I'm not sure" she shrugged. Through the night she had felt as if someone were watching her. And not the feelings she got when Elijah gazed upon her. The feeling was eerie and dark. "It's probably nothing. Are you okay? You don't look too good"

Elijah had turned a bright shade of red, his eyes held some sort of fear in them and before she made her presence known. He was pacing.

"No we are not" Rebekah interrupted, she knew Elijah didn't have the heart to tell her, so Rebekah did it.

She handed Sasha a folded up piece of paper. She opened it and began to read.

My dearest love, Sasha,

Oh and how could I forget the Mikaelson family.
You thought you could get rid of me. You thought you could kill me by killing Sasha. But you were wrong.

You've made an awful mistake because now I've come back, and you are not only facing me. You are facing more. And they have motives behind their anger and will not stop at anything until they have every single one of your sick family in a coffin. Including you Sasha.

Your dearest love, Daniel x x x x

Sasha could almost hear the venom drip from his voice as he wrote this. The nausea crept up on her as she read his name.

"This is some sort of sick joke" she screwed the paper up and threw it behind her "I want to know who did this"

"I'm afraid we do not know. If this is false, but we also do not know if it is real" Elijah said, he was shaking his head, obviously believing it.

"Well I'm going to find out" she said angrily, stumbling to find everything to leave.

"I'm afraid that's not necessary love" a British accent sounded from the doorway

"Nik!" Rebekah exclaimed and Elijah turned around immediately "your home"

"Klaus? As in your brother" Sasha asked

"Yes, Klaus as in Elijah's brother and I'm sure I haven't had the pleasure, I pride myself in Meddling in all of my families lives and I look forward to making your life a living hell" he joked, knowing Elijah would probably blame him for something he would do in the future.

"What do you mean 'it's not necessary'?" Elijah asked, skipping the welcome back and all pleasantries

"Nice to see you too Elijah, I see you've been very busy" Klaus chuckled "but after eavesdropping on your little conversation and being filled in by Marcel, I can honestly say, the man that is called Daniel, had resurrected not only himself, but Mikael, Celeste and a girl by the name of Louise. She might sound familiar to you"

"I'm sorry, Klaus was it?" Sasha replied sarcastically "but I've only just met you, why should I believe you"

"Because love, guess who I saw pacing the streets of New Orleans?" He asked "I don't think I could misinterpret a threat from my own father"

Elijah couldn't hear past the point of Celeste. She was back. "Celeste" he muttered under his breath

"Who is Celeste?" Sasha asked, she knew Mikael, Daniel and Louise.

"None other but one of Elijah's lost loves" Klaus smiled

"In the 1700's, she was a witch I loved, unfortunately thank you to carelessness by, as you can guess, Niklaus. She was murdered. When we came back to New Orleans, she was the one that tried to sabotage us all. I was the one that killed her" Elijah quickly summarised

"I didn't mean to bring all of you into this, you're all at risk now" Sasha shook her head. Finally coming to terms with everything. He was back, he brought people twice as dangerous as him to seek revenge on the one she loved, and his family, which were now, her family.

"Nonsense, we are family" Rebekah said. "And together we can defeat them"

"We've killed Mikael once" Klaus shrugged "I could easily do it again"

"And Daniel won't be as strong as he were" Elijah walked up to Sasha, his hand caressed her face, trying to make her feel a little better "we can kill him"

"I guess we can do it, we have 3 originals on our side" Sasha laughed "it'll be hard to beat them"

"And you have me" a woman's voice came from nowhere. Elijah's heart stopped as he recognised her.

A pale woman appeared, she dressed old fashioned as if she had only stepped out of the past. Her long hair fell everywhere, down her shoulders and her back.

Sasha's eyebrows furrowed. She had seen the woman before and she knew by the way Elijah tensed up, he knew who she was.

And when Elijah said her name, that's when she realised who it was.

"Tara"
