Night Time Creatures [Klaus Mikaelson]

37 • Rose

Aliona's P.O.V

The drive home was completely silent for me, I didn't want to talk to anyone. I hadn't told any of them about how I knew Elijah, I just wanted to know why he was here.

Finally after dropping Elena off we drove back to the boarding house.

"Look guys, when I left I told Matt not to save me a room so is it okay..."

"It's fine Ali, like I've said in the past. You're fine to live here." Stefan nodded as I thanked him and went to my car, grabbing the few bags I had brought with me and heading inside.

I picked a room and began to settle in, placing things in drawers and loving the fact that I was under the same roof as my brother's again.

"That woman Rose told Elena about some curse." Stefan spoke as I walked into the lounge, Damon handed me a much needed glass of strong liquor. "A curse that needs the moonstone and the blood of a doppelgänger to be broken."

"Yeah, we'll keep her safe." Damon nodded.

"The only way we're gonna be able to do that is if we're not fighting each other." Stefan spoke and I nodded in agreement.

"You guys let Katherine get between you. If you let Elena then you aren't going to be able to protect her." I spoke whilst looking at them both.

"Yep, heard it all before." Damon dismissed and walked off.

"So how do you know Elijah." Stefan asked as I froze, I'd been dodging this question since we'd got back.

"Just an old friend." I shrugged but Stefan wasn't buying it.

"The look on both your faces when you saw each other said otherwise." Stefan continued as I sighed.

"Stefan remember when you said to me that there's a lot you haven't told me yet?" I asked and he nodded. "Well there's a lot of stuff that I haven't told you yet." I sighed as he nodded. "I'll tell you, I'm just not ready yet."

Before Stefan could reply there was movement to the left of him, he sensed it too and turned but it was already gone. Speeding around us until they finally came to a stop.

"Who's there?" Stefan asked and grabbed a wooden stake from a bookshelf, I turned to see Rose walking towards us.

"I'm not here to hurt you." She spoke with an English accent too.

"Then why are you here?" I questioned and narrowed my eyes.

"Lexi once told me that you two were some of the good ones." She spoke as my heart stopped, she'd known Lexi.

"You knew her." Stefan breathed out as she nodded.

"Trevor was my best friend, I'd lived with him for 500 years but now he's gone. Elijah killed him. I don't wanna run anymore because I have nowhere else to run to." Rose continued as I nodded, knowing what it's like to run from an Original.

"Well I'm sorry but we can't help you." Stefan spoke as I sadly glanced at him.

"I don't need your help, but I think you need mine." Rose spoke, my head tilting slightly in interest.

"Why?" Stefan questioned in confusion.

"Because it's not over." Rose spoke and Stefan frowned.

"Why isn't it over?" He asked.

"Because it isn't, the Originals will come for her." Rose spoke and my breath hitched in my throat. That meant...him. "They have to. They're doing it for him."
