Man Of His Word ~Elijah Mikaelson~

Chapter Ten

The next morning I woke up not quite feeling like myself. I started to fall asleep last night thinking of the kiss I had with Elijah, but for some reason, my mind switched over to what happened with Mike the other night. That thought, made me stay up later than I thought. Plus I kept having dreams about what happened. I sighed and got out of bed and walked over to the full length mirror in the room and looked at myself and the  pajamas that I wore last night. I sighed once again and grabbed everything I needed to take a shower. I entered the bathroom and stepped out of my clothes and stepped into the shower. As I was washing everything that happened between Mike and I in 1492 came flooding back to me.
Flashback - 1492
        I set out to find where Mike could of gone. I traveled the town in search for him. I went to our friends to see if they have seen him, but they shut me out. Everyone shut me out. I tried to think of what I could have possibly done to make them all cold towards me. As I went over these thoughts I came across a pub and decided to walk in. When I walked in the sudden smell of blood filled my nostrils. I scrunched up my nose and searched around to find that almost everyone was dead. I gasped at the sight and turned my head towards the bar where Mike sat while feeding on a hopeless blonde girl. 
        "Mike! What are you doing?!" I yelled at him and I sped walked towards him. He looked up from his meal and smirked at me before he continued. I raced towards him and jerked the girl away from his mouth. I then bit into my own wrist and fed the blood to the girl who whimpered as I touched her. I then let her go and she ran out of the pub.
        "Oh come on Bailey! You ruined my fun!" he yelled with a slight slur. I cocked my head to the side and sniffed. Mike smelled of booze and blood. He had been drinking.         
        "Mike, what has gotten into you?" I questioned as I put my hand on his shoulder. He looked at my hand that was on his shoulder then turned his attention back to me. He stared at me with cold eyes.
        "What has gotten into me? I'm just embracing my true nature Bailey! Come on drink! Party with me! Join me!" Mike exclaimed, getting up from his spot at the bar. He walked towards me and I took a step back. 
        "No Mike! This isn't who you are! You're better than this!" I yelled with my eyes filling with tears. I clutched the top of my dress to my chest. 
        "I'm embracing my true nature Bails! Come on! Join me! Embrace it!" he yelled once again and took a step forward. I stepped back and shook my head at him. "Fine you know what? You are doing nothing but wasting my time. I don't even know what I was thinking when I asked you out. You're a waste of space, a pathetic excuse for a vampire! What's the point of being a vampire if you don't make the humans fear you?!" Mike yelled. I cringed at the sound of his voice and I let a tear slip. "Oh goody, you're crying. You know, if you just turn it off, everything will be better." Mike said taking a step towards me. Before I could move away he grabbed my waist and held me close to him. I shook my head and refused to look at him. He put his hand under my chin and forced my head up so I would look at him. I looked into his blue eyes only to see nothing but coldness. His eyes were like ice. "Turn it off love." he whispered. I just stared at him and shook my head. I ripped away from his grasp and and stared at him. 
        "No Mike! I will not turn it off! You're crazy! You have made our friends fear us! Do you remember Laney? That little girl that lives down the street? She loved you Mike! You were like a big brother to her! Now she hates you! She fears you! I tried comforting her but her mother ripped her from me! Do you see what you are doing? If you keep this up, you won't have anyone!" I yelled at him as I let more tears fall. 
        "I have you, don't I?" he smirked. I shook my head.
        "No, not anymore. I've put up with you for more years than I can count. I'm tired of having to clean up your messes! We make a life somewhere, you make friends with the village and then you terrorize them! What the hell is wrong with you?! I'm done playing your silly games. I'm not putting up with it anymore. You're on your own." I said to him and walked out of the pub. 
End of Flashback ~
        I sighed and got out of the shower. I stood in front of the mirror just thinking about everything. I dried my hair with the hair dryer that I borrowed from Caroline, seeing as she had two of them apparently, and just thought. I put on my undergarments and walked into my room. I put on my clothes and did my makeup. I walked over to the window and just looked out it. I then thought of the events that happened later that week with Mike. 
Flashback to later that week
        "Mike." I breathed out as I saw him standing in the doorway. He looked around the room at everyone that was there. He then locked eyes with me and he didn't seem all that pleased. He walked farther into the room and I broke from Elijah but didn't walk away from him. Mike just strolled into the room with his hands in his pockets. He smiled at me, but there was no happiness in it, that I could see anyway. 
        "I just came to see if you were okay. But looks to me that you're more than okay." he sighed. I furrowed my eyebrows a little bit in confusion at what he was trying to hint at. He looked where Stefan and Damon were standing and smirked. "Ah, the Salvatore brothers. Lovely to see you again." he smirked. The brothers returned a glare and they moved towards me. I sighed and crossed my arms.
        "Why did you really come here Mike? You know I was okay when you helped me." I replied. He just looked at me and smirked. 
        "I came back for what is mine, that's all. I miss you Bailey." he shrugged. I scoffed and shook my head at him. 
        "You don't miss me Mike. The only thing you miss is a companion. And as of a long time ago, I am no longer that." I explained. He just looked at me and smirked. I sighed and took a step towards him. Elijah took a step towards him also. I looked over at him telling him to stay where he was and if I needed him I would tell him. He just nodded at me and I walked towards Mike and gestured towards the door. He walked out the door and I followed behind, but not without one last look at everyone in the living room of the boarding house. "Now, you don't miss me, so tell me, why are you really here?" I questioned. He sighed and leaned against the brick wall that was across from the door. He crossed him arms over his chest. 
        "Because Bails, when I heard you were being tortured I just couldn't take it." he said with a shrug. I loosened up a bit and stared at him in disbelief. "You see, no one tortures you." he said as he turned his head to look at me. He then smirked and put his hands in his pockets. "That's my job." He said in all seriousness. I stiffened at the sound of that and backed away slowly. "Oh, come on Bailey, you can't really still be mad at me can you? It's been centuries!" he smirked as he walked towards me. 
        "Stay away from me Mike." I said. He just kept advancing towards me and didn't stop. I kept backing up until my back hit the door. 
        "You see, I can't do that. That Mikaelson was all over you. Call me jealous." he smirked. The way he said Mikaelson could make even lava turn into a solid immediately. I then brought his hand up to my neck and held me in place. I just glared at him as he leaned in closer. Once he reached me he forced his lips on mine and I scrunched up my face in disgust. I turned my head away from him only to have his hand tighten around my neck. I brought my arms up and shoved him away from me. He smirked at my action and just kept coming forward. The door suddenly opened and I fell backwards and hit someone. I looked up and saw Elijah. I sighed and then looked back at Mike. Mike growled and ran into the house. I ran in after him, much to Elijah's dismay. Once I got into the living room I saw that Mike had Damon up against the wall with his hand in his chest. I growled and walked forward. 
        "Mike, let him go." I growled in a warning tone. He turned his head and smirked at me. 
        "Daja vu right sweetie?" he smirked at me. I took another step towards him and he just kept smirking at me. 
        "Mike I swear, if you don't let him go, I will kill you." I said sternly. He chuckled darkly and just shook his head. 
        "Oh honey, you can't kill me. You may be older but I'm stronger." he proved this by shoving his hand even farther into Damon's chest. 
        "This may be true. But you see, that's the difference between you and me. You don't know the people I befriended since we last met. All I need to do is give a couple of words and your head will be on the ground within less than a second. So, let's try this again. Let. Him. Go." I said more threatening. This only cause him to chuckle even more. 
        "Oh please, you think these people can stop me? I don't think you have the guts to do it. So, I'm calling your bluff." he stated. He was about to pull Damon's heart out of his chest but I attacked him and his hand came flying out of Damon's chest, with Damon's heart still in tact. 
        "I warned you Mike. You don't know the kind of power I have over you. I can kill you so easily, it would make your head spin. But you know what? I'm not going to kill you, I'm going to do something worse." I said. I looked over at Damon who threw me a vervain dart and I stuck it in Mike's neck. His eyes widened and then he passed out from the intoxication. We then moved him to the old jail house where they kept Stefan. 
End OF Flashback~
        I took one last look in the mirror and walked down the stairs. One I got to the living room, Damon, Stefan, and Elena were sitting on the couches. I took the unoccupied place next to Damon and just looked at them. 
        "Are you sure you wanna go?" Elena asked me, breaking the silence. I sighed and nodded. 
        "I feel like I have too. I'm the one who turned him and I should be the one to be responsible for him." I said while looking down at my hands. I then looked back up to see everyone just looking at me. I stood up and started walking out of the boarding house only to be stopped by Stefan's voice. 
        "Hey Bailey, wait up!" He called to me. I stopped walking and turned around to see him walking towards me. "I'll go with you. You shouldn't have to do this on your own." he said with a small smile. I returned it and nodded. We got into my car and we drove to the old jail house. 
        "Thanks Stefan. For coming with me." I smiled at him. He nodded and we got out of the car and walked into the place and down the stairs where Mike was being held. We walked into the room to see Mike with his head dropped. Once he heard the door open he looked up at the sound and gave a weak smirk. 
        "Well, I was wondering when you would come here yourself, rather than your little puppets." he smirked. At that comment I walked towards him and punched him right in the face. 
        "They are puppets, it's called friends. You should try it sometime." I said smirking back at him. He coughed and out came a little blood. 
        "Maybe you should let little Stefo here do it for ya. It'd be less painful for you." he smirked again at me. I sighed and got down to his level.
        "It was my idea to come here myself so I'm going to do this myself. Just because we were friends once, doesn't mean that we are now." I hissed at him. He chuckled and then sighed. 
        "If you must." he looked up at me. I furrowed my eyebrows at him and then looked up at Stefan. Stefan just shrugged and leaned against the wall. 
        "Has anyone been into his head yet?" I asked, turning my head back to Mike. 
        "Not that I know of. Elijah and Kol were here yesterday. They didn't say anything about it." Stefan answered. I nodded and looked Mike in the eyes. I got into his head to make him think that he hasn't had blood in a while. I learned this trick from Lexi. It was always one of her favorites to use. Mike yelled and pulled at the cuffs that was keeping him down. I stood up and looked over at Stefan who cringed at the sight. I sighed and walked over to him. 
        "Stef, if you don't want to be here you don't have to." I said, putting my hand on his arm. He nodded. 
        "I know. But I want to be here, for you." he said with a small smile. I returned it and nodded. I turned back to Mike who still had his head hung low. I walked back over towards him which cause him to look up at me. 
        "You know, you should just get on with it. I know what you're doing. Lexi's favorite technique." Mike smirked. 
        "Oh, this may have been Lexi's technique, but I have a few things up my sleeve." I said. I walked behind him to the chain that hung from the light vent and pulled it. Since we took Mike's ring off the sun burned his skin. I let that go for a few seconds and then stopped. After he regained a little bit of strength I pulled the chain again. He yelled out in pain and slumped forward. I stopped the burning and then moved in front of him. 
        "Go to hell Bailey." he hissed. I smirked at him and nodded. 
        "I missed you too Mike." I said sarcastically. I continued the torture. And sometime after I started bleeding him out Stefan left and his place was replaced by Elijah. Every once in a while I would look over at Elijah who stood against the door frame with his hands in his pockets and just watched me. 
        "Hay Bail." I heard Mike call weakly. My eyes widened and looked at him with eyes that were about to pop out of my head. 
        "What did you just call me?" I asked in disbelief. 
        "Hay Bail. Remember that nickname? I gave it to you when we first met. You always used to laugh at it cause you thought it was silly. I'm so sorry Bails. I wasn't thinking when I did all of those horrible things." he said as his head just dangled down. 
        "And how do I know you're telling the truth? Mike, I want to believe that you're telling me the truth but I don't know what to do." I sighed. Mike looked up and me and gave me a weak smile. 
        "You don't. I deserve everything you're doing to me right now. I deserve even more than you're doing to me. I ruined your life." he said as he hung his head again. I sighed and looked over at Elijah who looked at me. 
        "Elijah." I said quietly. I walked towards him and he followed me outside of the room. "Can you compel him to tell me the truth? If he was drinking vervain its out of his system. I don't know how much longer I can take this." I said as I leaned against the wall and tilted my head back and closed my eyes. I felt Elijah's hands cup my face gently which forced me to look at him. 
        "Of course I will." he said. I sighed with relief and nodded. 
        "Thank you Elijah. For everything." I said with a small smile. He returned it and gently placed his lips on mine. Before I could kiss him back he pulled from me and smiled. I smiled back and he walked into the room with me following him. He got down on Mike's eye level and compelled him to tell the truth. 
        "Okay, ask him anything you want." Elijah said with a sad smile. I nodded at him and walked towards Mike. He lifted his head and looked at me. 
        "Okay, first I'm going to test this out. I don't know if you were completely bled of vervain so lets test it. I touched his blood and there was no sting of vervain. "Okay, first question, everything you just told me, did you mean it?" I asked while crossing my arms. 
        "Yes." he answered simply. 
        "Are your emotions back on?" 
        "Yes." 
        "Just be sure, Elijah can you ask him?" I questioned. Elijah nodded and walked forward. He asked the same questions I did and both times he answered yes. I let out a breath that I didn't even realize I was holding and took the cuffs off of Mike. 
        "Alright, just stay put and I'll go get you a blood bag." I explained. Mike nodded and leaned back in the chair. "Elijah, can you stay with him?" I asked. Elijah smiled at me and nodded. I smiled at him and kissed his cheek and left to get the blood bag. When I returned Elijah and Mike were just sitting and talking. It looked like they were actually having a good time. 
        "Well hope I'm not interrupting anything." I said with a smile. They both looked at me and smiled. I handed Mike a blood bag which he downed within a minute or so. We all then left to go to the boarding house. Mike was staying the night and then leaving in the morning. I walked Elijah out and said goodbye to him. 
        "Again Elijah, I can't thank you enough for everything that you did." I said with a bright smile. He returned the smile and took my hands in his. 
        "It was my pleasure Bailey." he replied. He leaned his head in and I met him half way. I smiled into the kiss and broke away from him. 
        "Goodnight Elijah." I smiled. 
        "Goodnight Bailey." he replied. I then watched him walk off.
