Pinky Promise - Elijah Mikaelson

"Please?"

"No, Y/N"

"Why?"

"It's too dangerous. You could get hurt."

"Have you forgotten the training I have received from Marcel? The protective spells you've had cast over me."

"Those things are to be used in emergencies. What is happening right now is not an emergency. Now you stay here with Freya and Hope while the rest of us do what needs to be done."

You scoffed and sat down on your bed, facing your back to Elijah.

"You'll thank me one day."

"Don't count on it."

That was the exact conversation you would always have with him. He would never let you leave the compound to fight with him and his family, you were forced to watch from the side. You knew that being involved with the Mikaelsons was dangerous, you'd have to be pretty stupid if you didn't, but you still wanted to protect the people who protect you even thought you were just a human.

Every time there was a new threat you were treated as if you were a glass doll. There were always two hybrids standing outside your door and a security detail lead by some of Jackson's most trained wolves when you went out. You were never allowed to leave the compound unless you were accompanied by the hybrids, Jackson made sure of it, he would never let one of his closest oldest friends be harmed, you were almost like a sister to him.

The threat, this time, was Tristan du Martel and his crazy psycho sister and Lucian Castle. You knew something was going to happen and you were just waiting for Elijah to come into the room and have the 'it's not safe' talk

However, you had already had a run-in with Lucian, he knew you were tied to the Mikaelsons and wanted you to return back to them with a message. Obviously, he didn't know about your amazing fighting and the small bouquet of vervain flowers you kept hidden in your jacket, it was safe to say when it was mushed into his face he knew not to mess with you

You were on your laptop surfing the web and doing a bit of online shopping when someone knocked at your door.

"Come in" You yelled, not looking up from your screen.

"That better not be my credit card."

"And if it is? What you gonna go about it, Jax?"

"Burn whatever you got."

You rolled your eyes.

"What? Elijah's send you to give me the no fighting for Y/N talk?"

"No, I just wanted to have some 'Jax and Y/N/N' time"

"Sure you do."

I swear I do."

"You just want to distract me from wanting to join in the fighting."

He didn't respond.

"Don't worry Jax, I have to catch up on The Flash anyway, it's cool."

"Promise me you will not leave this room because as soon as we all leave, Freya will put the barrier up and if you leave here, you won't be safe."

"I promise," You lied crossing your fingers under the duvet.

He gave you a hug and a chaste kiss on your forehead and left.

A while later Elijah came in to speak to you.

"Jackson has already given me the low down, I don't need you to repeat it."
