A/N- the timeline isn’t following the one in the show exactly.

Emma’s POV

Matt was at work today, and I wasn’t meaning it was the perfect time to make my way to the Mikaelson’s house. Matt wouldn’t be impressed with me going there, but him and Jeremy were at work at the Grill meaning they wouldn’t know whether I had snuck out or not. It wasn’t pleasant having to organise times to see your friends around my brothers schedule to make sure he wouldn’t know whether I had gone to see them or not.

With most of my day free from Matt, I left our pig sty of a house, and made my way to see Elijah. I hadn’t spoken to him in a little while, and he was definitely my favourite original vampire. Luckily when I reached his home, he was the one to open the door, meaning I didn’t have to speak to any of his siblings.

“Emma, what do owe this pleasure?” He smiled.

“Hello Elijah, Matt’s out of the house, I was bored, and realised I’d use my day off to come talk to a friend that my brother doesn’t want me to see,” I smiled back walking into the house.

“Your brother is just looking out for you, as we are vampires and we are a dangerous species, especially seen as your species is our food source,” he chuckled, “It’s like a gazelle befriending a lion.”

I let out a soft laugh before we made our way into the kitchen, sitting down at the table opposite one another.

“I met your brother yesterday. Are you sure you weren’t adopted as your siblings are very alike and you aren’t anything like them?” I stated.

“I’m sure I’m not adopted Emma. As I’ve mentioned before Niklaus is our half-brother, but Rebekah and Kol are very much like him. I’m guessing it is Kol who you met yesterday as you have spoken to Niklaus multiple times,” he responded.

“Yes it was Kol who I met. He is quite the charmer, and by charmer I mean arrogant and egotistical,” I chuckled.

“I apologise for my brother’s behaviour. He doesn’t understand how to treat women, nor people in general,” He shrugged.

I smiled. Elijah was certainly the nicest vampire I knew, and he was definitely nicer than his siblings. It wasn’t like all the vampires I had met were horrible, but mainly they were all arrogant, and power hungry, Elijah wasn’t. He seemed like the cooler brother I had wanted, that was protective but actually let me do what I wanted also.

“You shouldn’t have to apologise for your sibling’s behaviour,” I smiled softly, “Well Matt does it a lot but you shouldn’t have to. Because you’re connected by blood doesn’t mean you’re responsible to one another.”

“I know, but it’s clear they won’t apologise for what they do, so it’s better I do than no one,” He shrugged.

It was rather admirable in how moral Elijah was and how family orientated he is. He was so loyal to all of those he cared about. I was glad that I had befriended him, seen as I knew he valued our friendship as much as I did.

“So anyway, how comes I’ve never met your brother before? I thought you were the family orientated Mikaelson, I expected to at least hear of him from you. How many other siblings are you hiding?” I chuckled.

“I had three other brothers but two of them passed away before I met you and the other died recently, and Kol isn’t the most pleasant sibling to have, not that any of them are a walk in the park,” He shrugged.

“I’m sorry for your loss. But your siblings seem okay I guess, but I guess with how different you seem to your siblings, they could be a bit of a pain,” I smiled softly.

“You have no need to be sorry. Two of them died over a thousand years ago, whereas one of them was killed by your brother,” Elijah stated.

“What? Matt killed your brother? When? How comes I didn’t know this?” I frowned.

Matt killed one of the originals. How comes I didn’t know this? He usually told me everything, even if it was bad, but granted it was about the supernatural which he usually avoided to tell me about.

“It was a couple of weeks about, he and Elena Gilbert ambushed him in an alleyway outside of the Mystic Grill. It was in an attempt to kill us all as our Mother linked us together, but Bonnie Bennett removed the link meaning only Finn died,” He explained.

“That must have been the day Jeremy was being overly nice to me, and distracted me with taking me to the cinema. I thought it was out of the kindness of his heart but it was so they could forfil and evil scheme. I am so sorry for what Matt did, and there is nothing I could do to make up for his actions,” I sighed.

“It’s okay Emma. Finn was prepared to die in killing the rest of us. At least in his death, the rest of us didn’t die. But we also found out if an original dies then so does their bloodline, meaning everyone they’ve turned and everyone that had been turned by them. This means a lot of your friends along with every vampire and hybrid would die,” He explained.

“That seems rather dramatic.”

Elijah and I carried on talking for a while, on a few lighter topics rather than talking about the death of his brother and the hand of my brother. After about half an hour someone opened the front door of the Mikaelson’s house, entering the building. Within seconds Kol was stood next to us.

“Well hello Emma what are you doing here?” Kol questioned with a smirk.

“I’m skiing. What does it look like I’m doing? I’m talking to Elijah,” I stated rolling my eyes.

“It’s clear you don’t know the dangers of spending time with my family, and talking to us like that could lead to your death,” He smirked.

I stood up walking around to the side of the table where Kol was stood. He towered over me as I stood close to him.

“Kol I understand the dangers of your family. You are vampires and I’m a human, gazelles don’t befriend lions. I as a human am the food source to you as a vampire. You could snap me like a twig or drink me dry in seconds- if you wanted to. That’s the key part if you wanted to. I know you don’t. I may be sarcastic but I‘m never horrible to you or your family. Think about it keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. It’s better to keep you all on my side rather than have you as my enemies. Don’t threaten me Kol. By threatening me, it shows you don’t have the guts, nor want to kill me, if you did I’d be dead already,” I shrugged with a smirk on my lips.

I could tell that he was lost for words as he didn’t say a thing.

“Thank you for to today Elijah, but I should go. Bye,” I smiled to his brother.

Elijah said goodbye before I left the kitchen, and then the whole house.
