Always Forever

👨‍👦My Brothers Keeper

"Go to him!"  Elijah whispers back "no!.... I will not be used like that!"  he hears Zyanya reply with a soft hurt tone and his heart felt like it was being squeezed.... was he so fixated on hurting his brother that he would once again wrong the woman he loves?!.... after leaving the Salvatore house Elijah went home to his family.... his children his little brother and the woman he loves and as soon as he sees Zyanya he whispers softly into her ear as he places his lips on her upper lobe while wrapping his arms around her waist as he stands behind her "I'm sorry!"  she turns around and smiles softly at him as she slides her hand up his cheek and teases "it seems to be a Mikaelson family trait that gets passed on through the generations!"  he chuckles with a smile and goes to kiss her but she leans back out of his reach and turns her head and he stops and she walks out of his embrace then away from him and he watches her walk away with a sad expression on his face.... as Klaus was leaving the Mystic Grill he passes by Zyanya who was walking into it and stops "well hello there!"  he coos "hi!"  she replies softly with a smile "take me drinking?!... not here!.... ANYWHERE but here!.... well EXCEPT New Orleans!"  she says he chuckles as she continues "you DO have time right?!.... I mean you're "plans" don't unravel till tonight so what harm would there be in you spending some time with your niece, nephew and littlest bro?!"  he laughs then replies as he wraps his arm around her shoulder "I'd LOVE too!".... Tatiana, Ilyas, Henrik and Zyanya spend half of the day in with Klaus just hanging out and catching up on what Klaus had missed "oh.... I photo shopped some old photos to make them new again.... well at least more.... "modern".... this ones yours!"  Zyanya says as she hands Klaus a picture of him standing next to her with Tatiana standing on his other side and Ilyas standing next to Zyanya all four of them have genuine smiles on their face.... the photo was done in a very "modern family photo" sort of way.... and he smiles as he looks down at it and says softly as he looks back up at her and their eyes lock for a few seconds "thank you!"  she replies "also I think you might have some competition when it comes to the artistic side of your family Tati has become.... dare I say it BETTER than you when it comes to drawing!"  the five of them laugh.... that night after Damon gets a visit from John then he gets another visitor and he answers the door as he was arguing with John about feeding his (John) daughter his (Damon) blood Damon's eyes widen when he opens the door to find Zyanya standing on the other side "alright hero.... time to eat!"  Zyanya teases as she walks in she moves her hair away from her neck and smiles at him ignoring the presence of the blonde man who was staring at the two of them in shock "what are you talking about!?!"  Damon asks with a soft surprised "I don't know what you mean!" tone "are you really turning a "free meal" down Salvatore!?!"  she asks with a tease in her tone "especially one from me!"  she adds "no!"  Damon replies softly as he dizzily uses his vampire speed to rush over to her and bites into her neck "normally Klaus' blood would be the only thing that could cure the bite.... being a hybrid and all.... but he has to complete the ritual for it to actually work in it's fullest capacity.... and no Dame.... I could not stop the ritual even if I wanted to!.... one it has already begun and two.... I was told NOT to interfere!"  she tells him as he finally lets go of her neck "besides.... if HE had to do this he would ask for a favor.... he might do it anyway just for kicks but.... he's not that fond of owing favors to people though he IS fond of people owing HIM favors!.... even when he never usually does things for others!"  she continues looking down at his arm and noticing that it has healed completely Damon tries to rush out of the house using his vampire speed but hits a invisible barrier as soon as he reaches the doorway "I told you Dame!.... I can't interfere! and if Niklaus finds that you have been healed he will know that I was the one who healed you.... betrayal is an awful thing and he has lived through far too much of it already! use your head Damon!.... if I know Elijah then you must realize that I know his family as well.... his ENTIRE family! which includes Niklaus and even though I'm not betraying him just healing a friend he will see it as one and I can't DO that!.... besides you're brother is "handling it" in a very Stefan way.... the sacrificial lamb waiting to be chopped.... it won't happen but he'll try!"  Zyanya says Damon lets out a short breathy chuckle "Bonnie is searching for a spell that will reverse the effects of your "mistake".... though why she hasn't just asked THEM for help in finding it I have no idea!"  she says and Damon chuckles "well.... my "good deed" of the night is done so I will be heading back home to my kids!.... see you later Dame"  Zyanya says as she heads for the door Damon smiles and replies "see ya Z"  and he closes the door behind her after she walks out of it....
