IMAGINE: Elijah protecting you from Klaus

| IMAGINE for @stephanielas |

     You roll out of bed, groaning. You look at your husband, Elijah, who's sleeping soundly. You smile tiredly and stretch. Your eyes flick over to the clock and you suppress another groan.

     "Only 2?" You sigh. You walk out of the room, grumbling. You traipse down the stairs to get a drink of water.

     You walk to the kitchen, grab a glass out of a cabinet and turn the facet on. A chill randomly runs down your back and you can sense you're not alone. You still, your heartbeat running wild. You turn the faucet off and turn around. You gasp and jump back, the water sloshing over the top of the glass and spilling on to the floor.

     "Klaus." You laugh with relief at your brother-in-law who just stands in front of you staring at you.

     "Wh-what are you doing here so early in the morning? Elijah is sleeping." You say.

      "I didn't come here to see Elijah. I came here to see you, Y/N." Klaus replies flatly.

      "Oh?" You ask, your eyebrows raising.

      He nods and steps closer to you. "Yes." He whispers.

      Your eyebrows draw worriedly as you look at him. "Klaus, are you all right? You don't look well..." You say.

     Klaus stares at you and suddenly his hand shoots out and grabs you tightly around the throat. You gasp, your eyes wide in surprise in horror. He pulls you close to him as his hand tightens even more.

      "I'm just fine." He grits out.

      You drop the water glass and it shatters against the floor. You push against Klaus, gasping, your lungs aching for breath.

      "This is for separating my brother from the Originals. This is for forcing him to act like a... human." He spits. You try to shake your head, tears burning your vision.

      "Y/N didn't force me to be a human. It was purely my choice." A voice says from behind Klaus. Klaus whirls around, dragging you with him.

      After Elijah and you got married, he promised to act as normal as possible to make it easier on you. He's stuck to that promise.

       Elijah stands there looking angry beyond anything. "Get your hands off of Y/N now, Klaus, or I will kill you." He states. Klaus just stares at him. "Now, Klaus!!" Elijah commands harshly.

      Before Klaus can do anything, Elijah walks up to him and punches him in the face. Klaus cries out and drops you. You gasp as fresh air fills your lungs.

     You collapse into Elijah's arms. "Oh, Elijah." You whisper hoarsely, grasping on to your husband tightly. He holds you protectively as he looks at Klaus who's holding his face.

     "Why? Why would you try to kill Y/N?" Elijah asks.

     "I hate her. She's changed you, Elijah. You're becoming a human because you're married to one. And I had to try and save you." Klaus explains.

     "I don't need saving. Y/N has changed me for the better, Klaus. I am happy. More happy than I've ever been. You should be happy for me." Elijah says.

     "I want you to get out of our house now before I do something rash. And if you ever dare try to kill Y/N again, I will not hesitate to kill you." He says. Klaus nods and stumbles out of your house.

      "Are you all right?" Elijah asks worriedly, looking at you and cupping your face.

     You nod. "Yeah." You sigh.

     "Y/N, I am so sorry." He whispers, hugging you tightly.

     "It's not your fault." You reply.

     He looks at you, worry swimming all over his face. "I'm still sorry." He says.

     You smile a little. "Thank you for saving me. I thought I was going to die." You admit hoarsely.

      "When I saw him holding you there, my heart nearly stopped. I-I was in shock." He says.

      "You got here just in time." You reply, smiling.

       He smiles back and kisses you softly. "Come on, let's go back to bed." He whispers. You smile and nod.
[THE END] I hope you liked it!
