"niklaus, look!" elle gasped, pointing over to where two boys had engaged in a fist fight not far away from them, one was clearly bigger that the other and she felt herself flinching everytime one threw a punch. they were both boys that the two knew quite well. niklaus and her had been walking in the forest when they had heard the raucous. niklaus didn't think much of the matter, men fought all the time to settle differences, but he knew elle would not leave it be.

one of the boys, jackson, was one of elle's friends and she started to worry for him as he was clearly not going to win. the other boy, tybalt, punched jackson staright in the nose and kicked him in the gut in two swift motions, sending jackson stumbling back wheezing. elle could not bare to watch any longer and desperately wanted to stop them.

"nik, we have to stop tybalt before he murders jack!" she pleads, to which niklaus shakes his head.

"no elle, if you go over there you will only get hurt!" he responds but elle has already run towards the fight, throwing herself in between the men. "elle!" he roars after her but it is too late.

elle charges at tybalt, suddenly feeling a surge of strength and when she collides with him he loses his footing, sending him crashing to the floor. when he doesn't get up, everyone stops. klaus runs over to them after witnessing the scene. elle crouches down, shaking the man. "tybalt!" she gasps, placing her head on his chest and listening for a heartbeat. nothing.

tears start streaming from her eyes as she realises what she's done. niklaus spots blood trickling from the back of his head onto the forest floor.

"he hit his head on a rock elle.." niklaus breathes, trying to stay calm. "he's dead." elle's mouth drops open and she quickly clamps a hand over it to silence her sobs. she had just taken a life.

"what have I done.." she stutters, curled up in a ball on the ground. "oh god, what have I done."

;;;

"so is this thing happening or what?" Elle huffed, looking at her nails. She'd been sat in Alaric's apartment for atleast an hour now, waiting for Klaus' witch to return.

"Well if Maddox had any sense of time management we'd be started by now." Klaus retorted, "but I suppose, if we must, there is a way we could spend the time." He smirked at the blonde, raising his eyebrows suggestively. Elle responded immediately, leaning in slowly and just before their lips were about to meet, she brought her hand back far enough to where she knew the slap would sting. Without a moments hesitation Elle flung her hand forward until she came in contact with his cheek.

"Nice try."

"Bitch." Niklaus mumbled to himself, clutching his red cheek in one hand. In the blink of an eye Klaus has Elle pinned against the wall by her throat, immediately gagging her. Her feet were slightly raised off of the ground, always having adored domination.
