!editing! MY LOVE ( k mikaelson )

008

elijah and elle arrive at the salvatore residence right on time at elijah's request. elle is wearing a long navy dress that has a slit going up to her mid thigh, with black leather boots. she has left her hair down naturally and wasn't wearing mcuh makeup, remembering how much he loved it when she styled herself like that. the blonde original didn't want to be here so couldn't be bothered to make a huge effort out of her appearance.

eljah leans forward and rings the doorbell and a few seconds pass before the door swings open to reveal damon.

"good evening." elijah nods politely as elle plasters a smile onto her face to please elijah.

"thank you for coming, please come in." damon smiles before elle pushes past him into the house. "you look completely gorgeous, elle."

"i know." elle smirks back at him. damon places a hand on her waist and goes to lead her to the dining room before he is interrupted by elijah.

"just one moment. can I just say that if you have anything less than honorable intentions about how this evening is going to proceed, i suggest you reconsider." elijah stops damon in his tracks before elle and himself enter the dining room. elle remains silent. she knows damon wouldn't dare make a move with both of them there. it would be suicide.

"no, nothing, nothing dishonorable. just getting to know you."

"hmm. well, that's good.  because, you know, although elena and i have this deal, if you so much as make a move to cross me, i'll kill you and i'll kill everyone in this house. are we clear?"

"and i made no such deal with elena, so if you try to attack either of us, i won't hesitate to rip your throat out, darling."  elle adds nonchalantly. "i hope you understand me."

"perfectly." damon nods.

elijah and elle then go their seperate ways, him going to greet jenna, while elle goes to snoop. before she can do that, she has to go over to andie and compel her.

"if anyone asks where i am, tell them i excused myself to go to the toilet." andie repeats what elle says, earning herself a smile from the original. "good girl." elle then speeds upstairs before anyone can see her.

she goes into what elle can only guess was damon's bedroom and started fumbling thorugh all of his draws, determined to find the dagger. she spends as long as she can hunting thorugh every cupboard she sees, before having to go back down because dinner has been served.

as soon as elle takes a seat next to elijah, he leans over to talk to her.

"where were you?"

"don't worry. i'll explain later." elle reassures him. she couldn't tell him about the dagger yet as no one could know that elle knew they had it.

"i hate to break it to you, damon, but according to elijah, your family is not a founder of this town." jenna says, bringing everyone out of their seperate conversations once the food has been brought out.

"hmm, do tell." damon inquires, picking up his fork.

"well, as i mentioned  to jenna earlier, a fraction of settlers migrated from salem after the  witch trials in the 1690s. over the next hundred years they developed this community where they could feel safe from persecution."

"fascinating." elle grins, trying to be interested for elijah's sake.

once dinner has been eaten, andie stands at the head of the table, getting everyone's attention.

"the gentlemen should take their drinks to the study." she announces and everyone starts to get up and move around. elle takes this as an opportunity and goes over to andie again.

"same rules apply, if anyone asks i excused myself." elle tells her before heading upstairs again. she goes back into damon's room and starts to hunt around again, checking under his bed, behind paintings, in books. elle practically tears his room apart before finally giving up, sitting on the floor and placing her head in her hands. she couldn't let damon dagger any of her family, especially seeing as she had just got elijah back. she wasn't ready to be alone again.

elle sits up suddenly, as if a lightbulb had lit up in her head. what if damon was keeping the dagger on him? if he was, the only explanation for it would be that he was planning to use it tonight. realisation dawned on elle's face. damon wasn't above anything, he was below even her low expectations of him. when elle hears a clattering and a struggle from downstairs, she speeds down as fast as she can into the study.

"where's elijah?" she screams, there was a chair knocked over and elijah was nowhere to be found.

"gone, for good this time." damon smirks at elle and her eyes widen. he holds up a silver dagger, but if the dagger was there, he can't have left it in elijah...

"how many daggers do you have?" elle asks firmly.

"i only have one, but that's all i need." damon informs her, immediately worrying when the a smirk forms on elle's seemingly perfect face. relief washes over the blonde, elijah was out for now, but he'd soon wake up and when he did he'd be out for revenge.

"oh how wrong you are, darling." elle speeds over to him quickly, getting behind the elder salvatore. she brings her hands up to his neck and snap it in a matter of seconds. picking up the dagger that had fallen to the ground with his body, elle speeds away from the god awful dinner party, in hopes to find elijah.

okay, this sucked but yeah. next chapter will be better and away from the main story line of the show.
