The Devil In Me - Elijah Mikaelson -

Chapter 10

Their voice became a yelling mess. Amelia closed her eyes to let them fade out, but still they enraged her. She was on the edge to break all of their necks. 

Only Elijah was quiet and looked at her with an unreadable expression. It was also him that shut his family by yelling into the noise.

"Silence!" 

His voice raised in an dangerously calm tone. It made them shut up finally and now their eyes were on Elijah. Amelia was surprised that he knew her that well already. 

"Let her speak." 

She gave him a thankful nod and continued on her speech.

"It's kind of a metaphor, every seal is and so is every royal title as we all know. Your story, it wasn't the coincidence. The devil has his part in every making of a supernatural creatures. Even if its just in the details. In your case, he just had his hands in the order you were turned into vampires. I think you don't really remember the night you all were turned, don't you? You thought it was your father who was turned first. But that's not the truth. He was the last one. In fact, he turned his favorite son first. And who would he thought of noble enough to be subject of experiment? Of course, Elijah, the noble gentleman. That makes you the first of all vampires. Being a first of something is very special. Combined with the thing you call red door, it makes you something quite powerful. United with your chosen queen, not even Niklaus or Marcel could take you down." 

Her eyes were on Elijah, she zoned out the rest of the Mikaelsons until Klaus spoke.

"And how do you come into play? You seem to be quite ordinary." 

Amelia chuckled lightly. 

"Elijah knows my story, I can fill you in with the details later. But to put it short, I'm Tatia Petrova's daughter, I saw how Elijah murdered her and he came back some years later to complete the slaughtering. He turned me, that makes me the first vampire ever turned by him. But what I didn't know at that point, that I also am the first heretic vampire. Years after I was turned, I found out that my father was a witch. I don't know if it was coincidence or if it was the pairing of witch blood and Petrova blood, directly from a doppelgänger, but I was a syphon witch when I was human. I just didn't know it, because I never came in contact with magic until I was made a vampire. That's what I meant, Elijah and I are firsts of a species and I'm off his sireline. Definitely enough power to set the devil free." 

Again silence fell upon the room, the processing of all these information began. Amelia sighted, this wasn't easy for her. A thousands years she had thought that she never had to get involved with the people she thought she hated. And now she had to marry the man that did so much harm to her life. 

"Hayley marrying Klaus would've worked, too. But stupid wolf girl had to waste that special bond to some stray dog. Being a widow doesn't count in those ancient rituals." 

Hayley shot up from her chair and shot her a death glare.

"Don't you ever insult Jackson in front of me again!"

The heretic smiled, taking the challenge. 

"Oh, should we better go outside?" 

The hybrid stepped closer to Amelia and they looked each other in the eyes. Amelia's smile grew even wider.

"I will kill you, Amelia. Be sure of that." 

"It'll be pretty funny to watch you try. Be careful, I think you're not in the position to make any threats." 

Elijah stepped in between the women and gave Amelia a warning glare. 

"I need to talk to you, Elijah. Now."
