Oh Look, Vampires Are Real (Elijah Mikaelson/The Originals fanfic)

You Are So Old School Elijah

*Niklaus' POV*

                            I was not in the mood for anything or anyone at this point in time. Being sent on a pointless search by one of Rebekah's minions, I would make my point known to her that I truly don't appreciate being screwed around for most of the night & following morning. The fact I could've been torturing Elijah that entire time seemed to be largely more appealing. To say I was livid was an understatement.

                            I heard her car pull up. I will question her motives my way & she will either cooperate or be her normal bitchy self.

I gave her enough to walk in before I captured her in a headlock & held the white oak stake to her chest, "afternoon sister. Would you like to please explain to me why I was called out last night on a futile magical mystery tour that lasted up until about an hour ago?"

She struggled, "I have no idea ...."

I constricted my hold, "now you are in no position to make feeble attempts to tell untruths as I already know it was you. Your little minion squealed like a pig before I ripped his heart out."

She stopped almost immediately, "fine. Yes I did it & if you would kindly holster your favourite toy I will plead for my non-coffining & the intention behind it."

I smirked, "how about we do it this way, you tell me & then I'll decide if that's a fair enough reason for me not to disable you."

She huffed, "very well then. I guess I don't really have much of a choice now do I? I did it so Elijah & Finlay could have some alone time."

"Now why would you do such a thing?" I was dumbfounded at her response.

"Because Elijah deserves to be happy for once in his life," she spoke softly.

                                Her words took me by surprise. She was actually sincere in what she said. I mulled them over in my head. Could I seriously dagger her for that? Yes I could. The question remained would I?

"Nik I'm sorry," she apologised.

I thought of all the times I had daggered my siblings over major events that had taken place to doing it just for the fun of it. Maybe it was time to change my relationship with them. I guess I could allow Elijah to get the girl but give him problems along the way. I'd still have my fun & he'd get a somewhat happy ending; win- win for both of us, actually all 3 of us.  

I released her & held the dagger by my side, "I'm not partial to being taken as a fool Rebekah, but I guess I'll let this time slide."

The look of disbelief apparent on her ageless face, "I guess I should say thank you even though I don't know what the hell just happened."

"You're welcome. Now where are the two love birds?" I smiled.

"I think book shopping & they aren't together yet Nik. I was trying to give them a chance to," she was wary with what she told me & that was smart on her behalf.

"I suppose I'll kill time & go take my frustrations out on a canvas or two until they get home that it," I strolled past her.

                           I ventured into my studio to paint my frustration & anger away. I always retreated back to my first love of painting, a passion that had followed me for over a thousand years.

*Rebekah's POV*

                                  I pulled up out the front. Elijah's car was still missing in action. That was a certainly a good sign. I smiled to myself. I unlocked the door & meandered into the entranceway. I was taken into a headlock by an unknown force. The weapon of my families demise held against my chest.
