The Devil In Me - Elijah Mikaelson -

Chapter 20

A/N

Hey guys! Before we start with today's chapter, I've got some questions for you.

I'm kind of dealing with coming-to-the-final-chapters-depression. Thing is, I have ideas for a good closure, but Amelia and Elijah definitely haven't told all of their story when this book comes to an end. There comes the sequel question! I want your honest opinion, would you read a potential sequel (maybe based on upcoming season 5, maybe completely AU)? 

Are the language mistakes too disturbing? (I know I improved since I wrote I Feel You, but honestly, I can't deal with tenses :D says the one who is studying English) Is there anything that annoys you at all?

Last questions: would you read other Elijah-stories of mine? Do you like stories that cling to the storyline more or are stories of the writer's mind more interesting for you?

Sorry for bothering you, but it's sooo good to have you all here to give me feedback <3 

..............................................

"You're here." 

Amelia said breathless. Her eyes were wide in shock and awe. For a second she was afraid that she dreamt, as she had a lot in the past months, and that he would disappear when she got close to him. 

Elijah's look on his face matched Amelia's. Both of them knew what to do or what to say. They just stared at each other for a moment that felt like years and was yet so short. 

When Klaus had told Elijah that he had seen Amelia, he had assumed that it was just some bad joke. But his brother's eyes told a different story. Of course he was beyond worried about his little blonde lover, but there was a concern and pity in him that frightened Elijah. Had she changed that much? Was the devil back in her head? 

The hybrid told his older brother about what he had seen and it left Elijah troubled and in rage. But fear was most prominent. From what Klaus told him, Lucifer could've killed Amelia for betraying him by helping the girls. 

Elijah just had to see for himself. And there she was. She seemed physically unharmed and even more beautiful. He never had stopped looking for her and every night he had imagined how it would be to hold her in his arms again. 

Now his dream came true. His wife nearly crashed into his chest and wrapped her small arms around him. He closed his eyes and pulled her as close as he could, not believing that she was real. But she was. She was breathing, she was warm. Her body was shaking and she was crying but she felt like Amelia. The girl he had developed a burning passion for. 

"Amelia..." 

He grabbed her face and placed his lips onto hers, wanting to feel her with every inch of his body. When she allowed his tongue to enter her mouth, the sudden kiss grew even more passionate. But they had to pull apart before they forgot where they were and what situation they were in. 

"Niklaus told me that you...I thought he killed you." 

Amelia leaned her forehead on Elijah's. How she'd missed him. Every part of him. Her legs grew unsteady when she looked into his mesmerizing dark brown eyes. 

"He didn't." 

She whispered and just enjoyed the moment of silence with him. Unfortunately they both knew that they couldn't just flee. 

"I have to go back in...He'll start looking for me." 

Elijah grabbed her wrists roughly, staring at her with determination visible.

"I can't let you go back to him. I just can't." 

The heretic gave him a warm, loving smile and loosed his grip on her wrists to touch his face. 

"We don't have a choice. Lucifer will kill you or take Hope if I try to escape. I need to get the girls out now and then...I don't know what'll happen." 

"Please, don't get yourself in even more danger. I don't care about the girls, I care about you. I love you." 

Amelia's smile grew sad and she shared another kiss with her husband. 

"He didn't kill me the first time I helped them, so he won't kill me now. I bet he needs me for something, I just don't know what." 

The Original's eyes begged her to stay, but he knew that it wasn't possible right now. He placed a hand on her cheek and caressed her fair skin with his thumb. 

"Listen to me, I'll get you out of this. Whatever it takes, do you understand?" 

She nodded, knowing that she couldn't get him off this suicide mission. Somehow she knew that saving her was senseless. 

Amelia disappeared before she forgot herself and just ran away with him. But a new power was in her because she knew that her husband would be close to her from now on.

...

Their plan went well. When Amelia arrived back at the dining table, Bonnie snapped her head with her magic and just for being sure Caroline rushed in front of her and staked her through the stomach. 

What Amelia couldn't see as she was unconscious was that the girls had taken Lucifer by surprise and that they could flee. The heretic was proud of the younger witch. She just hoped that the girls would be on the run from now on, always looking behind their shoulders, because Lucifer would never stop longing for their power. But now, as they deeply betrayed him, he would make them suffer. 

A few hours later, Amelia woke up in her bed in the room Lucifer had given her. Of course she hadn't allowed herself to make it comfy or personal. Never would she give into her fate and give the devil this satisfaction. 

As always she was confused for a short amount of time, as Lucifer stood by her bed, confusing him with Elijah. She shook her head to get herself awake. 

"Could you just get out of here? You're invading my privacy." 

Lucifer chuckled and sat down on the mattress. 

"Do I look like I care about your privacy? You're mine." 

Amelia gritted her teeth in disgust.

"Lucifer, I'm ok with being here for protecting my family. But never have the audacity to call me yours!" 

Her voice was full of deep hatred. It intensified with every minute she spent with him. 

But again he just laughed in her face. 

"You have no idea how wrong you are. Tonight, you'll be mine." 

He grabbed her wrists and pressed them down, leaning forward to try and kiss her. Disgust flooded Amelia and she bit into his lower lip so hard that she could taste his blood. It didn't even tasted good like human blood did, it was pitch black and tasted like mud. 

"Get away from me!" 

She screamed and fought him but it was no use. He was stronger than her in every way possible. 

"Please, you don't have to enjoy it, but you could just lie still. It'll make things quicker and easier." 

Lucifer grew impatient with her by the minute. Of course she was a beautiful and definitely something to desire, but he just didn't feel those human urges. It was something that needed to be done for his plans. 

She remained fighting him for some minutes, but suddenly she stopped. Her mouth closed, but her eyes were still wide open. Everything turned dull in Amelia, she just stopped feeling it. She knew that she couldn't turn her humanity off, even if she wanted to so badly. But she could just give up and try to escape into another world in her mind. A world where she was safe, where she still had some dignity left. Deep inside her she knew that the last thing she clung to, the one thing she hadn't done in her past was now ripped from her. She never had sold her dignity. Never had she given that part of her body to someone she didn't want to.

 Lucifer smiled, he had broken her again. She was ready for what he wanted to do with her. This was the place where he wanted her. He quickly stripped both of them off their cloths. Her body was like a doll, right now he could've done everything with her. 

By the end of the night, his plan was finally set in motion.
