Man Of His Word ~Elijah Mikaelson~

Chapter Eight

 After Stefan and Elijah found me and saw Mike, I had some explaining to do. Stefan of course already knew everything, but Elijah however, did not. I owed him some sort of explanation, or so I believed. Once Stefan, Elijah and myself got back in the vehicle I was bombarded with questions from Stefan. 
        "How did Mike know where you were? Why was he even near you? I swear I could rip his head off. What did he want? Why was he being nice? Last time I recall, he hates you, and you hate him. What the hell is going on?" Stefan bombed. I sighed and leaned back in the seat. 
        "Calm down Stef. I'll explain everything. Mike found me because he saw Esther and Finn throwing me in here and he followed them back to Mystic Falls, and once he got there he heard Elijah giving orders to find me. He came to help me out of my predicament. He didn't want anything. I guess he though that we were even, seeing as I got him back after the horrible things he did to me. And as for him even wanting to help me, I have no damn clue." I answered honestly. Stefan sort of relaxed but kept his hands around the steering wheel in a death grip. I sighed and leaned forward from my spot in the back seat and put my hand on his shoulder. "It's okay Stefan. I'm fine." I said to him. Only then did he release a sigh and relaxed completely.
        "I know I'm sorry, its just ever since you told me what he did to you, I have always wanted to meet him face to face and rip his damn heart out." he said through clenched teeth. I sighed but nodded.
        "I know Stefan." I said giving him a slight smile. I then looked to Elijah who was looking out the window. "And for you Elijah, I need to tell you what happened with Mike. You're probably confused as hell, which is understandable." Elijah turned his head and looked at me. I put my hand on his shoulder and he put his hand on top of mine. 
        "You don' have to tell me anything." he said with a straight face. I sighed.
        "Yes I do. Mike and I have a very dark past. One filled with deaths, dishonesty, and lies. In 1329 I met him in a small bar outside of Rome. When I met him he was human. Although, his life was a terrible one. He was abused by his family. His parents called him a mistake and that he was a disappointment. He was too young for me to turn, so I offered him to come with me to see the world. He obliged and we off to see places that he wouldn't even imagine. He knew what I was and he wasn't even fazed by it. When he turned 22 he asked me if I would change him. He said that's what he wanted for his birthday. I did what he asked and when I did he reviled that he had feelings for me. I for one was quite shocked at the information, yet I wasn't. We ended up being a couple and we were as happy as happy could be. Until we had a fight. This fight led to him turning off his emotions and he treated me like I was nothing. He became his worst nightmare, he became like his parents. He kept telling me that I was a mistake. Me being me of course, I believed him. Although, I couldn't find myself to leave him, so I didn't. He cheated on me multiple times, and didn't hide it. He would bring these mistresses to wherever we were staying and he would throw it in my face. Mike with his emotions off is a lot worse than Niklaus, and Stefan's ripped side combined. In a lovely village we were staying in in Scotland loved us. Or at least they did when Mike had his emotions on. When Mike turned them off, he killed more that half the village and the villagers hated him. The blood however, was on my hands because I couldn't control him. He went on a rampage and killed some of my most trusted friends. He then went on and threatened Niklaus and Rebekah. I knew of course that he couldn't harm them in any way, but still it got under my skin. Mike knew that Klaus and Bekah were my best friends and he didn't give one care in the world. So, I left and didn't look back. Come 1864 when I met Stefan and Damon, Mike showed up in Mystic Falls. I tried keeping my friendship with the Salvatore brothers a secret so Mike wouldn't do anything to harm them. Of course I failed. Mike threatened Damon and Stefan and everyone else in Mystic Falls. He even attacked Damon once. If I wouldn't have smelled the blood, Damon would have been dead. So after he did that, I lost it. I took my revenge on him and contacted everyone he knew and I killed his closest allies. And ever since then, I kept my distance from him." I explained to Elijah. Elijah turned his head to look at me with disbelief. I nodded at him and shrugged. "It's not like he knew what he was really doing. He was blinded by blood-lust. Then again I don't forgive him for what he did. He had no right to do any of that." I said while sitting back in the seat. Elijah looked at me sadly while Stefan gave me a look of worry in his eyes. 
        "Do you think he really has his humanity back?" Stefan asked. I shrugged and sighed.
        "Who knows. He could be playing me, it wouldn't be the first time he did it." I said honestly. No one said anything for the rest of the ride home. I just let my mind wonder and let Stefan and Elijah's mind to wonder as well. Once we reached Mystic Falls again I sighed with relief. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined to be happy about being back. I got out of the SUV and walked to the Boarding house door only to have it thrown open and for me to be squished to death by a certain Original blonde. I sighed and hugged back. 
        "We were so worried!" she yelled at me. I sighed and nodded.
        "I know." I said while giving her a slight smile. I walked the rest of the way in the door and saw everyone sitting in the living room. I smiled at everyone and they all came rushing towards me. Well all of them except for a blonde that looked oddly familiar. 
        "Bailey, thank God you're okay." Elena said while hugging me. I smiled at her and returned her hug. Once we broke apart I didn't have the time to breath because I was in a bone crushing hug. 
        "Klaus, I can't breathe." I said. Klaus chuckled and let me go. I smiled at him and looked past him to look at the blonde. Everyone turned their heads in the direction that I was looking and then looked back at me. 
        "Bailey, this is Caroline." Elena said with a slight smile. I smiled at her and walked towards the blonde that looked some what like myself. I smiled at her and nodded. 
        "Caroline, lovely to meet you. I'm Bailey, your ancestor." I smiled at her. She smiled back at me and stuck out her hand. I took it gladly and shook it. 
        "Great to meet you Bailey." she smiled back. I nodded and looked around the room at everyone. 
        "So, what did I miss?" I asked while grinning. Everyone shrugged and looked at one another. 
        "Nothing actually. Just that Finn is dead. But other than that, you missed nothing." Damon replied grinning from ear to ear. My eyes widened and I looked around at the Mikaelsons. 
        "I'm so sorry." I said to them. They all looked at each other then looked back at me. 
        "Not your fault darling." Kol said while smiling at me. I shrugged and looked down at the ground.
        "I know but still. He was your brother." I said to all of them. They all nodded and I went over and sat on one of the couches. Elijah sat on one side of me and Rebekah sat on the other side. Damon handed me a drink which I gladly accepted. 
        "Thanks." I said while taking a drink. 
        "So, a little birdy tells me that the lovely Mike is back in town." Damon smirked. I rolled my eyes and nodded.
        "You heard right. He seems to have his humanity on but I don't know for sure. He tried to make me believe it before." I said while finishing off my drink. "He said he would be around, so I'm guessing he's in Mystic Falls." I said while looking around the room at everyone.
        "Wait, who's Mike?" Elena asked. I looked at Stefan, Damon, Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah. I sighed and told her the story of Mike. Her eyes widened and I shrugged. 
        "It's nothing. I mean if he's stupid enough to mess with me now then he really needs to get his head on straight." I said while taking the glass that Damon was holding. 
        "Still, he could be dangerous." Elena said while crossing her arms.
        "Trust me Elena. He isn't as dangerous as I can be. If he threatens anyone in this town I will gladly drag his ass out of town myself." I said while downing the drink. I looked at Klaus who had a smirk. 
        "I will gladly help." he smirked. I nodded at him and smiled. All of the Originals agreed along with Stefan and Damon. 
        "Enough with this Mike talk! We should celebrate! We got you back!" Damon said while taking my hands and standing me up. I chuckled at him and shook my head. 
        "There isn't enough time to celebrate Damon. I have Mike on the loose plus I don't think I'm in the mood to celebrate." I said honestly. Damon started to dance with me which just made me chuckle even more. "Fine, a little celebration." I said as he twirled me. He let go of my hand which led me to dance with Elijah. I smiled up at him and smiled back. 
        "Welcome home Miss Forbes." he said and kissed my hand. I giggled and soon there was music being played. I laughed along with everyone. For once, everyone  was getting along and no one was fighting. Which I believed was a miracle. That is until Mike appeared at the door.
