The Originals

21

We all decided to meet at Marcel's place to conjure up a plan to destroy this bitch and her family. Funny thing is, I can't even bother to learn her name.

Right now, we were deciding who would be bait to draw them all out. As they were all arguing, I was fighting with Josh.

"Enough!" I yelled at them. "I'm bait, and we're not discussing it."

"Jess, I'm not risking your life-" Jackson started before I raised a hand to shut him up.

"Look, they just killed Olly right in front of me," I interrupted. "And I'm not asking for permission."

"Can't we get Davina-"

"No. We are not risking her life to get our revenge," I said. "Thank you for your help, Josh."

"No problem," he replied with a smile.

I kissed his cheek, then walked to the door when Marcel sped in front of me.

"And where are you going?"

"Home, to shower."

"Don't tell the Mikaelson's about what we're gonna do. They will stop you, they will stop all of us," he explained.

"I won't tell them. Trust me, the last thing I want is for them to know."

"She's not going home to shower," Davina commented walking in, passed Marcel and I. "She's going to attack them on her own."

"Really?" Marcel questioned giving me a stern look.

"Hey, I'm not a kid, I'm pretty sure I can handle myself."

"By wolves, who could kill you with one bite?"

Instead of responding, I walked passed him and went to the compound to shower and change. As I finished erring dressed and was drying my hair, a knock sounded on my door.

I called the person in, throwing my towel into the corner of my room. Elijah walked in, a small smile playing on his lips.

"What?" I laughed.

"I was thinking that perhaps we could go out and get some fresh air. Away from the city."

"That sounds very sweet, but I can't today. Maybe tomorrow?"

"Whenever you would like."

I smiled and kissed his cheek before speeding out of the compound and out into the middle of New Orleans. Before I even got the chance of taunting them, I was injected with something and pulled off the streets.

Waking up, I see I'm chained in the middle of a room, feeling the vervain stinging my arms. A woman-the same one who killed Olly- walked in and injected me with something else before stepping back, taking a picture and walking out.

Elijah was carrying me to his room, as my eyes were slowly closing and betraying me. He gently laid me on the bed and was about to leave until I grabbed his wrist, in an attempt to keep him from leaving me.

'Please, stay,' I whispered before falling asleep.

My body was shutting down, I could feel it. It was telling me to give up. Let the enemy win, and to be honest, I actually considered that option.

Someone released me from my chains, causing me to fall to the floor, weak and unable to move. My body in too much pain for me to fight my way out.

I could feel someone dragging me through rooms, and over stairs. Eventually I wasn't moving anymore, as I looked up, I saw Elijah just outside the door and realized I was here only as a pawn for the enemy.

His eyes widened and his mouth moved, but I couldn't make out any of the words. My eyes closed, my body to weak to fight them to stay open.

'You need to fight,' a familiar voice spoke. 'Wake up. It's not your time to go yet.'

'Olly?' I asked looking up to see him crouched beside me.

'Take my hand, I promise you'll be okay,' he smiled.

'I miss you so much.'

'I know, and believe me. I miss you all, like hell. But you need to grab my hand.'

'Im scared,' I whispered.

'I know. Jessie, please, just take my hand.'

All I could do was nod as I slowly lifted my hand, placing it in his and he helped me stand, slowly fading as I did so.

I snapped back into reality and saw the lead wolf woman staring at me in shock before preparing to fight me.

However, I ripped her heart out too quickly before she had the chance. My head was getting fuzzy and my vision began to blur again, so I stumbled outside and into Elijah's arms before blacking out.

Music was playing, but the streets were empty. No one was in sight. The city was empty for once.

'Hello?' I called.

'Care for a dance?' Elijah asked with a smile.

'Whats going on?'

'My brother has just given you his blood, but you're gonna be out for a while. I figured you wouldn't want to be alone.'

'Well, thank you,'I smiled.

He grabbed my hand and we softly swayed to music in the air. Elijah spun me in a circle and we danced for the rest of the night.

Waking up, I see I'm in Elijah's arms, in his bed as he had a small smile on his face from whatever he's dreaming.

I gently move, as to not wake him, and walk to Klaus' study, finding a blood bag on the table. I instantly grab it, finishing it quickly.

"Love, what are you doing up so late?" Klaus walked in with a smirk.

"Figure I got enough sleep," I smiled. "Thanks for helping me by the way."

"Just try not to make a habit of it," he joked with a small smile.

"I should get back to bed."

"Ah, yes. To my brother, which I am very happy he found you."

"Really? Why?"

"Because for the first time in a thousand years, he is truly happy."

"You do have a heart," I smiled jokingly. "Goodnight, Klaus."

"Goodnight, Jessica."

With that, I went back to Elijah, placing a soft kiss on his was before falling back asleep.
