#ELEJAH - One shots and Short Stories

Pride, Love, Hunters and Vampires- (2)

Valerie and Stefan returned to the house a while later, finding Elena packing.

"What has happened? The maid said that you had a visit. That Elijah Mikaelson came to the house."- the witch looked around and saw Elena's case open filled with her clothes. It meant that she was ready to leave-

"Please, don't tell me that you are leaving?"

Stefan, who standing next to his wife now said-

"What has he done? Has he hurt you in some way?"

"He has done nothing."- Elena said-"I - need to leave. I had some news from Caroline that there was trouble in Baton Rouge and I have to go."- the huntress pointed to the letter on the table. But Stefan knew Elena too well, and knew that this was not the reason she was in a hurry to get away.

"I somehow doubt that Caroline would send a word that she needed help. That is not in her nature."

Elena looked at the man, knowing that it would be in vain to continue hididng the truth behind her wish to go.

"Count Mikaelson and I had a disagreement. I just don't wish to see him if I can help it. And there is no avoiding the dinner with the Fells."- Elena said.

"Please, don't go."- Valerie said-"Whatever happened we will make sure to keep you away from the Mikaelsons."

Elena sighed and agreed to stay, knowing how important it was for her friends to have her there.

Elsewhere

Still feverish from Elena's rejection, Elijah rode for hours to calm his injured heart.

Upon returning to the Mikaelson house, he entered like thousand devils were behind him, giving the footmen his hat, gloves and coat. His sister Rebekah, seeing him look shattered like he came out of carnage, followed him asking him employing him to tell him to tell her what was the cause of his distress.

"My dear sister, not now. I wish to be alone."- Elijah said as he walked with great fury up to his room.

"You are in such dreadful state of delirium, dear brother. I have not seen you like this since our brother Finn had been cut down by the witch-huntress. Please tell me that nothing happened to Niklaus. I could not bear to lose another brother."- Rebekah pleaded, on the verge of tears.

Elijah turned to his sister, looking at her in a very serene manner now-

"Niklaus is fine. It is nothing like dreadful like that. I have - I have had an unpleasant accounter, that is all. Nothing for you to worry your pretty little head over. It trully is nothing that cannot be dealt with."

Him giving her a little smile, reassured the blond and she nodded a little, her heart now calm.

"I have some correspondance to deal with and I must get on with it. When I finish, I will have tea with you in the drawing room."- Elijah said.

Rebekah smiled now pleased and went off.

Finally, Elijah entered his room, taking his tie off, slinging it on the bed. The delirium seemed to return the moment Elena's word shot in his head

"You are mistaken, Mr Elijah Mikaelson, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentlemanlike manner."

Elijah now sat down at the table and got a piece of paper and started writing a letter.

Some half an hour later at the servant brought the letter to the Salvatore house handing it to Elena personally.
