The Toll of Love

Elena in NOLA

Elena's POV
I don't like to see Caroline cry I have always hated to see her hurt I feel like it physically pains me. I look over at the girls they look worried. Its is about 9:30 at night. We didn't stop at that bar until about 7:30. I look to Elijah silently asking if there is somewhere we can take the girls. He nods his head. I pick up Josie He grabs Lizzie we walk up a flight of stairs. I come up to a door that's cracked I can see that the walls are a pretty lavender color. I knew Rebekah was a princess but not this much I push in the door a little bit it opened up the rest of the way. There is a cute little girl that looks about six. She looks just like Klaus. I turn to look at Elijah he looks at his niece with such adoration. I knew her mom died during birth I knew what it was like to be without a parent. I have been lost in my thoughts looking at her I turn my head to get a better look of her room it is a lavender color with really big black old English letters that read Mikaelson I knew Klaus had painted it. I feel Josie stir and look at Elijah I guess he already went and laid Lizzie down. I ask him where to put her he tells me to follow him he leads me to a guest room with a huge bed. I lay Josie down and stand back up. I ask Elijah what we can do while Caroline and Klaus are talking he asks if I wanna watch a movie, I reply with sure he takes me to a bedroom that is painted gray and white I know its his because of the suit jackets hanging on the coat rack. I take a seat on the couch in front of the TV I tuck my legs under me and get situated. Elijah is putting a movie in now. It isn't one I've seen before its something about a man who is in love with a girl he can't have. I fell asleep about a quarter of the way through it. I woke up a little when I got moved I was not alert enough to do anything and I knew who it was moving me. I knew that scent. Elijah always smelled clean and precise. Its hard to explain. I missed having a friend like him. I get woke up in the morning by the sound of a door opening. I sit up and at the door there is Klaus's daughter she is so cute. She walks over to the bed and climbs in beside me. I turn to I am facing her. She looks at me like I'm an angel. For her to be Klaus's daughter she is a sweet girl. I hear someone coming up the stairs. They ate heavy footsteps so I know it is a man. Elijah walks in and asks me if I'm okay. I nod my head. I go to get up when Hope asks me if I will come to her room for a second I say yes because what harm could it do. She has clothes scattered all out on her bed. She starts talking "Aunt Bekah usually helps me pick out clothes but she left for vacation yesterday will you help me" I tell her yes. She ends up in a pink and yellow Sundress with white sandals. I fishtail braided her hair and we walked downstairs to see if there is anything to eat I'm sure she needs food and I need blood. When we get down there Caroline and Klaus are sitting at the bar talking and Josie and Lizzie are eating waffles Elijah walked up behind me and handed me a black mug with which I assume had blood in it. Hope ran to Klaus screaming Daaaaddddyyy very loudly she jumped up and Klaus caught her and gave her a kiss on her cheek. She was so sweet she was so well mannered it made me miss the idea of one day having kids of my own.
