The Vampire Diaries Imagines

Imagine: Elijah Heartfelt Memories Part 2

1820 New Orleans

You were finishing up dinner that night for Elijah when you felt a seemingly familiar swoosh. Turning around, smile on your face, you expect to see your lover. Instead, you see Mikael standing there with a grin. Your hatred for this monster wipes away the joy on your face. "Mikael." The word comes out as a whispered curse. You raise your hands up, an attempt to use a spell to kill or injure him.

Mikael stands there, tall and unharmed. "Nice try little witch. I've been studying you for days now. Dating my son, while being a powerful and respected witch."

"What do you want from me?"

Mikael smile sends shivers down your spine. A smile that says whatever he's planning won't turn out well for you.

1920's New Orleans

You are standing in the distance as you watch Elijah and Klaus smiling happily. They're drinking at a bar; their laughter heard from across the room. The brothers are poking fun at Rebekah and Marcellus. The two of them pretend to be apart when so clearly a couple. Even to an outsider like you.

How badly you wanted to show yourself to Elijah. To tell him you aren't dead, that it was all fake so Mikael would spare Elijah.

But Mikael was still out there.

You watch the family you love for a moment longer. Tears come to your eyes as you realize what you want most in this world will never come to pass.

As an unwanted sob escapes your mouth you decide it is time to leave to the room filled with laughter. As you collect your bag and head out, pushing past people you accidentally run into someone. Elijah.

"Terribly sorry madame." His voice hasn't changed. Your heart tightens in pain. "Let me help you."

Luck was on your side, he hadn't seen your face. Just the backside of your hair. "Thank you sir. I must be going now." Your voice trembles as you attempt to leave his grasp. Elijah let's go slowly. You walk quickly outside and head down the empty street.

"Do I know you?" His voice calls out. You stop walking and squeeze your eyes shut.

"No, I have never met you before sir." Heart heavy, you turn away.

2010 Mystic Falls

"Elena!" You run up and hug her. "After the dance when you went missing I was so worried." Elena smiles and hugs back.

"She's perfectly okay. Thanks to Stefan and I's heroics." Damon says walking inside.

A woman with short hair comes in. "She was kidnapped by a man named Elijah."

Your heart stops, you pull out of the hug from Elena. "I'm sorry, who are you again?"

"Rose."

"Well, Rose, is the person who kidnapped Elena, the Elijah? As in Original Elijah? Brother to Klaus?"

Everyone is staring at you in shock. "How do you know him?" Rose asks. She begins walking toward you slowly, the way one approaches a feral animal. She stops a fair feet away.
