Mind over Matter ↠ Elijah Mikaelson

14

"Aurora, where is Niklaus?" Elijah asked, forcing her arm backwards so he could stand. He spoke with urgency, wondering where his brother had gone and who's blood stained her teeth.

"He decided to let me out for a bit of air as I wasn't feeling to good" She spoke as if a psychopath had climbed inside and taken over. But it was just the real Aurora.

Elijah turned and began to walk away "let us find Niklaus before you ruin anything" he stormed

"I wouldn't, as of yet, you will want to hear what I have to say first" Aurora called after him, confident that nobody was around to hear "not if you want your pretty little Marianne to live"

Elijah halted. "What of Marianne?" He spun around and restrained the urge to rip her throat out.

"I was walking past her door when I heard every single word of hers and Rebekah's conversation; as well as yours" she admitted, smirking as she knew she had the attention of Elijah.

He looked around him, before taking her wrist and throwing her into an empty room. "What do you know?" He asked coldly.

"I know that Marianne is actually a witch who has lied about her past and who she is in order to seduce and marry my brother" Aurora explained what Elijah already knew "I know that she has a brother down stairs and when she collects him then Tristan is as good as dead"

Elijah fell silent. An overwhelming feeling to rip her heart out and kill her overcame him, but he could see Niklaus and how distraught he would be. Aurora had the upper hand and she knew it.

"Tristan is a king, but he lived under her thumb" aurora spoke again "she controls him and he is blind to who and what she is"

"What do you want from me?" Elijah asked, knowing that there was a catch. Aurora wouldn't have come to him if there wasn't.

"I want you to feed Tristan your blood" Aurora demanded "in return I will keep her secret and allow her to flea with her brother"

"why don't you just feed Tristan your own blood?" Elijah asked, it was only common sense "you are a vampire now; you can do it yourself. And why? You let her flea unharmed, what is in it for you?"

"Number one; if she ever found out that it was your blood in his system, it would be a very satisfying kick in the teeth that she deserves" Aurora answered one question "number two, I really do not like her, I'd prefer it if she was gone and left my brother alone"

Elijah raised his eyebrow. Obviously he didn't want Tristan to turn into a vampire, he was the lowest of the low. But then would it save Marianne from death? What she didn't know wouldn't hurt her.

"tick tock Elijah, or I will walk in to Marianne's room right now and rip out her stomach, or maybe I'll go and tell Tristan and allow him to do it" Aurora clicked her teeth to mimick the noise of a clock "or maybe I'll start with the brother..."

"None of them are to be touched" Elijah demanded "if I do this, and either of them are hurt, I will raise hell"

"You have yourself a deal, my Lord" Aurora sarcastically curtsied and held her hand out to shake his. "It was a pleasure doing business with you, Elijah. I trust you not to let Niklaus in on our little deal. We wouldn't want to compromise the whole thing, do we?"

Elijah gritted his teeth in anger, biting his tongue to restrain himself from saying anything that put either him or Marianne into even more danger. "Niklaus will not know a thing" Elijah spoke quietly

Aurora giggled, clapping her hands together and rubbing them as they touched "I've always loved a good secret, haven't you?"

Elijah was silent. He didn't reply.

"Well; what are you waiting for? Tristan is in his room, maybe infusing your blood in a glass of whiskey might to the trick" Aurora said "he's probably drinking by the bottle load, I mean, who wouldn't; if they were marrying a lying and murderous witch"

"Watch your tongue" Elijah snapped

"I do not need to watch my tongue" Aurora retaliated "you need to watch your tone with me!"

She definitely had Elijah on his knees. Threatening him with one of the thing he really and truly cares for. He stormed past the new born vampire, nudging her shoulder on the way out.

He almost collapsed when he was away. Something about this didn't ring right, and he had to betray Marianne in order to save her.
