Blood In The Flames (Elijah Mikaelson)

Welcome Back Little Sister

1887

"Niklaus, would you listen to reason?!" He ignores me as he pours himself a drink. "It has been 52 years! Hasn't she been punished enough?"

He sighs. "Rebekah will remain daggered until I see fit. She betrayed my trust Lizzie. I asked for her to leave Marcellus alone and she did the opposite. It is her own fault."

Rolling my eyes, I throw my hands up. "You're being ridiculous, Nik! And you know it!" He walks away hoping to be rid of me, but I follow him with determination. "Her only fault is falling in love with Marcellus, who you see as a son, well so do I!"

He chuckles. "Quite the pair of parents we are!"

I let out a frustrated groan. "You have already made your point, Niklaus! Marcellus has given up Rebekah the moment he became a vampire. You have not a single excuse to keep her in that coffin!" Crossing my arms, a triumphing grin fills my face as Niklaus looks at me with defeat in his eyes.

He pinches the bridge between his nose. "Fine. Fine! I will awaken Rebekah!" A squeal leaves my lips as I hug him. "Now, leave me be. You're disturbing my drinking time."

I go to leave, but stop by the door with one last mock. "Thank you, Nikki!" My giggles fill the air as he shouts after me.

"Do NOT call me that!"

I go into the study to find Elijah sitting at his desk reading through paperwork. As the time went by, our family has come to try and build this city up. Niklaus works with the werewolves and vampires, I work with the witches, and Elijah tends to the humans. We are creating a peaceful, supernatural community.

I wrap my arms around his neck and lay my head on his shoulder. He sighs deeply. "The humans are becoming very demanding this generation. So much work to be done."

I softly kiss his cheek. "Have patience, Elijah. You are the most charming and charismatic man I know. You will have no problem persuading them."

He moves his paperwork aside and gently pulls me around, setting me on his desk in front of him. "If only they were as open minded as you, my dear."

Smiling he leans in and pecks my lips. "So, I managed to persuade Niklaus into undaggering Rebekah."

He chuckles. "You seem to have the magic touch when dealing with Niklaus. Perhaps he is afraid of you? After all, you are a very powerful witch. You have casted a spell on me." With each word he moves closer to where it was only my dress keeping our bodies from pressing against each other. His lips capture mine and our clothes fell off little by little as we got lost into each other.

A few hours later, Elijah and I are still in the study, reclothed. I say upon his lap as he sits in his chair going back to work.

Niklaus walks in with his hands behind his back, Marcellus close behind. "I did what you asked of me, Lizzie. I hope it pleases her Majesty." He says with a mocking bow. Elijah and I laugh in amusement. He presses a gentle kiss on my shoulder before setting me down and getting up from the chair.

I walk to Niklaus. "It pleases me very well."

Elijah joins us. "Perhaps it is time for a nice reunion dinner."

Niklaus grins. "I agree, brother. Let us make arrangements at once."

I make my way to Little Gerard. "Marcellus, I know it is hard for you, and I'm sorry."

He smiles sadly and shakes his head. "It's not your fault, Mama Lizzie. Come on, let's go to the market and choose something for dinner tonight."

I kiss Elijah, and peck Niklaus on the cheek. "Play nice you two!"

~time lapse~

Elijah, Marcellus, and I sat at the dinner table waiting for Niklaus to bring in Rebekah. Once I seen my favorite blonde, I immediately jumped up and hugged her tightly. "You look as beautiful as ever, Bekah."

She smiles. "As do you, Lizzie." Elijah came up, and Rebekah embraced him." 'Lijah!" He holds his sister tightly. One thing about Elijah and Rebekah, is that they are as close as Marcellus and I. Though, I feel bad that Niklaus isn't his brother's favorite, he is my best friend, so that should count for something.

We sat for dinner, and it felt as if we were back to the beginning, like time hadn't passed at all. I hope this time, Niklaus can control himself.......yeah right.
