Tribrid Salvatore

2x15 The Dinner Party Two

Luna was curled in one of the corners of the room, holding a hand to her aching cheek. Elijah was dead. Her uncle was lying in another room, with a dagger in his chest. The four-year-old swallowed nervously and crept towards the door. She tilted her head, listening to the footsteps that were upstairs. It was only one uneven pair of footsteps. Elena. The only person who was in the house with them was the Doppelgänger. Luna pulled at the door, hoping that it would give. When it didn't she pulled harder, making the lock break. The small vampire blinked at the broken lock and shrugged, walking over to the only other door. It had to be the place where Elijah was... They said he was in the basement as well, right? Luna pulled at the door and was surprised that it opened immediately. She rushed over to her uncle and quickly pulled the dagger out.

It took maybe ten minutes for Elijah to wake up and when he did, he gasped for air "Need to get out. Not invited in," he forced out. When he went to run out, the Original grabbed Luna around the waist, carrying her up the stairs and out of the door. As soon as he could breathe again, Elijah set down his niece, looking at her closely. One of his hands rested on the bruise that was forming "Who did that? Elena?" Luna nodded and bit her lip "What happened when I was... unconscious?" The four-year-old just shook her head, throwing herself into his arms "No matter," the Original sighed "I'll find out. Do you still have the dagger?"

It only took a few minutes for the Doppelgänger to run out of the Lake House. Stupid move on her part. As soon as she was out of the house, Elijah flashed to her and gripped her throat tightly "Hello, Elena."

"Elijah," she gasped, hands trying to pry off his.

"Who helped you?" the Original demanded, narrowing his eyes on her.

She smirked a bit "You can't compel me."

"Oh, can't I?" he raised an eyebrow. One of his hands ripped away the Doppelgänger's necklace and threw it away like he did when they first met "Who. Helped. You?"

"My father," the girl replied emotionlessly.

Elijah scoffed "I should have known..." He could feel Luna trembling against his back and at this moment, the Original made a quick decision. Since he couldn't kill the wench yet, he had to take care of the problem another way "You will not lay a hand on Luna again. Every time you try to hurt her in one way or another you will stop and you will remember exactly why you are in the situation you are in right now."

"What are you going to do now?" Elena questioned, scared "Please don't hurt my family."

Elijah sneered "A bit late for that, is it? After all, you hurt mine. Don't worry. Your aunt and the History teacher are safe. I can't say the same about your dear father though." With those words, he ran off with Luna in his arms. He had to get to the Boarding House and he didn't want to waste time driving there.

"Elijah? Luna? Where were you?" Stefan questioned when the two came into view. The younger Salvatore brother had volunteered to wait for the missing pair outside. The less time he had to spend around John Gilbert, the better. The other man had shown up maybe half an hour ago and acted like he owned the place.

Elijah handed over Luna to her other uncle and walked past the younger vampire "Not now, Stefan. I have a bone to pick with Mr. Gilbert. He is here, I assume?"

"Yes," Stefan nodded, following the Original inside "Hold on... Jenna is here as well."

"I don't care," Elijah bit out "It's about time she finds about all of this anyway. Don't you agree?"

Damon and Alaric came into the hallway and stared at the slightly ruffled looking Original in confusion "What happened?"

"I was daggered," Elijah pointed out "Now, where is John Gilbert."
