The Purple-eyed Girl (Elijah Mikaelson)

Chapter 3

(Imagine her with purple eyes)
Ariel's POV
'Elijah is alive,' I thought happily to myself. I mentally slap myself. 'He is supposed to be the enemy, not the ally,' I think to myself.
"Ariel, Elena this is Elijah Smith. Elijah these are my nieces Ariel and her younger sister, Elena," Jenna says.
'Hello Elijah,' I sign.
"Oh I forgot to mention Ariel doesn't talk, but she can. You should have heard her sing, she has or had an amazing voice," Jenna says sadly.
Elijah looks at me sadly but forces a smile.
'Hello Ariel,' he signs and I smile.
"You know sign language?" Jenna questions smiling happily.
"Of course Miss. Sommers," Elijah says without taking his eyes off me.
"Come on Ariel let's go upstairs," Elena says taking my hand and dragging me up the stairs.
She runs to Jeremy's room and knocks on the door. Elijah is there though and places his index finger to his mouth telling her to not say anything about him to Jeremy. Jeremy opens the door. He smiles when he sees me and frowns lightly when he sees Elena.
"What do you need?" he asks.
'Jenna needs help with some boxes,' I sign.
'Okay,' he signs back and walks downstairs.
"Wise choice girls, now is there somewhere the three of us can talk in private?" he asks.
'My room,' I sign and walk off to my room.
Elijah and Elena follow me into my room and I shut the door behind them.

I sit on the bed and Elijah instantly takes a seat beside me. Elena glares at him as she sits in my swinging chair. Elijah looks at me and smiles.
"We need to make a deal," Elena says instantly.
'What deal would that be sister,' I sign.
"Elijah I want you to promise that my friends, family, and the people I care about including the Salvatore's and Ariel are protected and kept safe. Promise," Elena says.
"Ariel is protected for sure Elena. Your family and friends are too. But the Salvatore's I don't know," Elijah says.
"Their in or no deal," Elena says.
"Alright only if I can be with Ariel when ever I want," Elijah says taking my hand.
Elena looks at me and I make a face saying 'take the deal'.
"Deal," Elena finally says defeated.
"Perfect now go inform the Salvatore's about our little deal," Elijah says.
"Ariel you coming?" Elena asks as she opens the door.
'No,' I sign.
She nods and walks out the door, closing it behind her. Elijah pulls me closer to him. He wraps his arms around my waist and his face into the crock of my neck. I wrap my arms around his torso. He hugs me tightly and I do the same.
"You don't know how long I have been waiting for you to come into my life," he tells me quietly.
His grip tightens and something wet hits my shoulder. Elijah is crying, he's crying into my shoulder. I tighten my hold on him.
"Can you promise me something, Ariel?" he asks me.
I nod and he continues.
"Promise me that we will be together forever. Always and Forever, Promise," he says.
I pull away and sign, 'I promise, Elijah.'
He smiles with tears in his eyes. He leans in and kisses me softly. I kiss him back. He pulls away and looks at me.
"Will you ever talk again?" he asks.
I shrug and he frowns.
"Please for me," he says.
I think about it for a couple of minutes and nod.
'Okay,' I sign.
He smiles and kisses me again. Sparks fly and I lean into the kiss. I'm the one to pull away this time after a few minutes.
'How about tomorrow?' I sign.
"For you to talk?" he asks.
'Yes,' I sign.
"Yes," he says instantly.
He stands up and holds his hand out to me. I take it and he pulls me up.
"I have to g-," he began but I interrupted him with a kiss.
'Stay with me,' I sign.
He looks at me and I give him puppy dog eyes. He nods and I smile.
"I'll be right back. Go change, Gorgeous," he says and I nod.
I grab my clothes and go to the bathroom.

I walk back to my room. I open the door and find Elijah laying on the bed in sweat pants and a plain white shirt. He sees me and chuckles. He pats the bed beside him and I lay down. He instantly wrap his arms around me and pulls me closer to him. I put my arms around his torso and hold onto him tightly.
"Cute pajamas, Gorgeous," he whispers quietly to me.
I smile as he pulls me closer. My eye lids get heavy and I slowly drift off into a deep sleep feeling safe and protected.
-Morning-
I wake up to the feeling of someone kissing my neck. I smiled and opened my eyes to see the most handsome face ever, Elijah. I lift up my head and rest it on his chest.
"Gorgeous as much as I would love to stay in this position, you have to get ready for school," he says softly.
I shake my head, no.
"How about I drop you off and pick you up at the end of the day. I'll even come eat lunch with you," he says.
I lift my head up and nod. He smiles and kisses me softly. I pull away and got up.
'Pick out my outfit,' I signed to Elijah.
He smiled and nodded. He went to the closet and looked around for a couple of minutes. He came out with a super cute blue and white shirt and some black tights. I smiled, took them, and left to take a shower. After my shower I did my usual and walked back to my room.

I walk in and Elijah is back in his usual suit. I think he is pretty damn handsome.
He smiles and says, "I'll be back in a couple of minutes."
He kisses my cheek and leaves through the window.
