Loving a Mikaelson

Chapter 20: Someone Like You

Lacey's POV

Chapter 20: Someone Like You

 The wind blows my hair, it flows around my head.

I've practically visited every shop, park, and ally in this town. Now I'm in some sort of woods, pretty similar to the one near the boarding house. I get a weird feeling that someone is watching me, I stand on the alert. I was positive I was the only one here.

Then someone catches my eye. Elijah stands against a tall tree, a glint in his eye.

"What are you doing here?" I exclaimed, walking towards him. "I'm simply taking a stroll through the woods. Is that a prolem?" He said. "You followed me."

"I perfer the term; 'Protecting you from afar.' Someone has to look out for you. You're a new vampire, bloodlust is a difficult burden."

"I can protect myself."

"Of course." He smiles respectively.

"Sit." He says, pointing to a wooden bench."

I nod, sitting down and he does the same beside me. We simply talk. About everything. It's just so easy with him. All the same, I can't help but keep compare Elijah to Klaus. Where Klaus is charming, Elijah is polite. Klaus is trouble, Elijah is kind. Klaus is reckless and dangerous, Elijah is old-fashioned and a gentleman.

I never compared Klaus to Elijah when I was with him. But then again, when I was with Klaus I never thought of anything but him. Him and only him.

I wish I coud fall in love with a guy like Elijah, everything would be so much simpler. But I don't know if I'll ever be able to let go of that psycho killer hybrid that was so sweet on Wickery Bridge the day I first saw him.

My emotions are out of control. I told Klaus I couldn't be with him, yet I can't get him out of my head. But he turned me. What he did was wrong, I can't forget that. But I can't forget him either.

"It's been so long, Lacey. You were only thirteen when I first saw you." I smile, a blush on my cheeks. "Yeah. I've grown up I guess."

"You are beautiful."

"Thanks." I whisper. I analyze him. It's like there's something more in his voice.

"Elijah, where is this coming from?" 

"I don't know." He whispers.

Then his lips are on mine.

I pull away from him, shock fills my eyes. "Elijah! Stop!"

"There's someone else. I'm sorry." My face projected a look of hurt that he would take things this far. "Niklaus."

"You know him?" Elijah chuckles. "He is my brother."

"Brother?! How could I not know that? God, I'm so stupid. I'm sorry, Elijah. I didn't mean for this to happen."

"It is I, who is at fault. I should have known. I am truly sorry." I grab his arm. "Elijah, wait." He gives me a reassuring smile. "Goodbye, Lacey."

I'M SORRY! I know it's short!!! I just wanted to include this bit in a single chapter. I'll maybe include one more really short one and then hopefully they'll be long! Cross your fingers! Everyone needs to go read KaciDanielle's Klayley fanfic!!! It's called Life in the French Quarter and it's amazing!!! Oh, song is Nothing to lose!!!

Loves,
