*********************

Elijah Mikaelson paced back and forth in the common room of the Mikaelson compound. He was worried, nearing a panic.

His wife, Eternity Mikaelson, had gone out that morning, according to Hayley, whom had witnessed her leaving the compound. More like sneak out. She hadn't told anyone where she was going or for how long. She had simply vanished.

Now, Elijah wouldn't have been so worried if she had only been gone an hour or two, but night had fallen upon New Orleans, meaning his lady had been gone all day! It was more than worrisome, it was downright terrifying. Lately, there had been a number of enemies from beyond the stars gunning for Eternity, seeking her demise.

On her last mission, of which Elijah had bore witness to, she had defeated a big time demon boss who's followers were a vengeful bunch and would not rest until the murderer of their king had been brought to justice. Eternity's status as their Universal Queen didn't matter. They only wanted blood - her blood.

The Original knew his bride could handle herself against her enemies, but they had encountered this particular bunch of demon gangsters on one occasion that had left the ethereal beauty exhausted and half dead by the end of the battle. It had worried Elijah then too, as he had never seen her like that before. After that, he had made her promise him that if she went out, she was either not to go alone or to tell someone where she was going. She had agreed, but it seemed she had broken that promise when she left that morning without a word to anyone.

This left Elijah to pace and worry, pace and worry.

Freya entered the common room with Hayley and her husband, Elijah's brother, Niklaus. They all looked as concerned as he was.

"I tried to do a locator spell, the strongest one I could possibly find," Elijah's older sister told him reluctantly, "but I couldn't find her. Unfortunately, Eternity is of a different magic, a different energy. She cannot be found by mortal magic. I'm sorry, Elijah."

He couldn't say he was surprised by this news as he had figured as much. He knew that the Mikealson witch would fail, but smiled softly at his sister in thanks anyway. Then he carried on pacing, while the others watched helplessly. He tried to think of a way to find her, as there had to be a way, but his mind was too rattled to think clearly. She could be anywhere, captured, hurt, or...dead.

Suddenly, Niklaus approached him, placing his hands upon Elijah's shoulders. He looked him dead in the eye and said, "Brother, you need to calm yourself and then you need to focus."

He sighed defeatedly, "Niklaus, how can I? She could -."

"You and Eternity have a connection of mystical proportions," his little brother interjected gently. "If you calm yourself and concentrate, perhaps that connection will lead you to her location, allowing you to find her, wherever she might be. Either you can try that or else remain here and go slowly mad with worry."

Elijah sighed again, but this time, it was less defeated. Maybe his brother was on to something. Perhaps if he did concentrate, acted like an otherworldly immortal, he could find her location. Such an attempt was certainly better than waiting around the compound, letting his worry drive him to madness, as Niklaus said.
