Vampire Heart

Seven Devils in your Heart

The thin line between darkness and light was never straight, it was in constant state of flux. And the dark magic in the doppelganger it brew like the storm that carries the spiral right in the core of it. Elena felt it yell and scream like I demon possessed  wanting to get out of its trap. It burnt, it quivered, it itched, made her wanna selfcombust. 

Flashback

As Sophie got out of the cafe and was about to dial Genevieve, an incoming call came through-

"Elena? Where are you?"- Sophie said.

"Something is happening to me"- Elena said-"I feel like"- the doppelganger gasped-"I'm going to burn away- like have this fever-"

"It's the magic"- Sophie said-"ok- where are you?"

"Just got to the airport. I am outside."- Elena said.

"This is what you will do"- Sophie said and now told Elena to go get the following tea infusion-"sage, peppermint, lemon balm and basil. Drink this. It will ease it a bit. The best would be vervain tea."

"What if they don't have it?"

"At least sage and mint tea. Let it brew strong. Another thing- close your eyes think of the one happy thing- a mental picture- which makes you calm. When you feel like it is happening again- focus on it and it will balance it out.This is mind over matter."

"Huh... ok."- Elena said now feeling a strange burning flush come over her and she felt like all her emotion started to be jumbled up and then the cold in her heart.

"Elena? Are you ok?"- Sophie said-"I will see you in a day or two."

"Fine"- Elena said coolly hanging up.

She closed her eyes. Her mind now searched a picture that made her feel good and calm.

In New York a few moments after Elena slipped in the taxi for airport

Rose pulled up in front of the Ritz as Elijah got in.

"How did you not notice that she left the penthouse?"- Elijah said with a somber menacing voice to his confidante.

Rose looked at him not being able to give him a plausible  answer.

"She musy have heard the news about the destroyed witches' hearts"- the vampire said.

"Even so"- Elijah said-"that is no reason to leave and not answer the phone"- he sifted dialling Freya's number again.

No answer. Everything was shifting and sliding out of his control. First his heart and soul and then, his mind. He worried immensely about his vulnerable sister, but at the same time about Elena, whose loving kisses and caresses still lingered so fervently in him.

"To Salem"- Elijah said to Rose, and the vampire stepped on the gas pedal, not asking why.

At the same time two witches had just left New York heading to Massachussets as well.

"Elena is not answering my calls. Neither is Caroline."- Bonnie said.

"Don't worry. They will be fine"- Sophie said.

"Why does it make Elena go so nuts?"- Bonnie now asked the witch.

"It's because of the  mystical blood in her."- Sophie answered.

"We shouldn't have done it."- Bonnie said worried.

"And leave her helpless and eventually dead- it was not an option. Elena will manage. Her character is strong. We now have to concentrate on finding if there is any truth about the Smallwoods and if the witch had any ancestry before Elijah Mikaelson does."
