!editing! MY LOVE ( k mikaelson )

007

elijah had invited his dear friend w to meet him and a woman named jenna in the morning and currently the trio were walking around mystic falls, chatting.

during this chat, elle found out that this woman is elena and jeremy's aunt, who is now their guardian.

"the old fell property starts just beyond that fence." jenna pipes up, pointing to a rusty gate and fence.

"ah.. the fells." elijah says.

"one of the founding families." elle adds sarcastically.

"why do you say it like that?" jenna asks, obviously taking note of elle's body language and tone.

"my research showed me that this area was actually settled in almost two full centuries earlier. It was a migration of townsfolk from the northeast, it was salem, to be precise." elijah states, all matter of factly. elle raised her eyebrows in surprise,having forgotten that elijah was supposedly researching the town.

"massachusetts? as in the witch trials?"

"exactly." elle nods shortly. "which means the real founders were a bunch of crazy witches."

"which means the ever lauded founding families... didn't actually found anything." elijah adds in.

"well, i bet it was the men who made a big deal about being founders back in 1860. men are very territorial." jenna chuckles and elle joins her.

"amen to that." she laughs and elijah gives her a knowing look. they both knew someone who fit that description perfectly. a small smile forms on jenna's face when she sees alaric saltzman approach the group.

"elijah , elle, this is my friend, alaric saltzman." jenna introduces the originals and elle gives him a tight smile, not bothering to offer a handshake. elijah does shake his hand, being the polite asshole he is.

"yeah, i got your message about walking elijah here through the old property lines and i assume that elijah is along for the ride. i thought i would tag along. you know being a history buff and all. where to next?" Alaric smiles at us before Elijah speaks up.

"I'm pretty curious about the freed slave property owners. Some say you know, the descendants of the slaves are the true keepers of American history." Elle rolls her pretty blue eyes, deciding she had better things to do than relive acient history this early in the morning.

"Well, I only brought the surveys. I've got the list in the car, just give me a sec." Jenna excuses herself, leaving Elle alone with the two 'history buffs' wandering the woods.

"Alaric Saltzman. So you're one of those people on Elena's list of loved ones to protect." Elijah raises his eyebrows at him.

"I forgot you and the Elena Gilbert defence squad were all buddy." Elle narrows her eyes.

"Well I didnt happen to forget that you lied to us all. About everything." He fires back.

"I lie to everyone.. Get over it." She hisses at him and he walks ahead to wherever he was leading us. Elle pulls Elijah to the side, tugging on his blazer sleeve.

"I'm gonna leave, this Mystic Falls history lesson is boring me to death, especially seeing as I lived this history." She sigh. "See you later."
