Here's To You🥂🍻

"Lijah!!"  Zyanya says once she feels his presence standing behind her she turns around and rushes into his arms with a smile on her face "I'm sorry!.... I couldn't....! I'm not strong enough yet!"  she whispers into his ear as she holds him while being held herself halfway up into the air while still in his embrace he kisses her temple she chuckles softly and says "you missed so much!.... your mother taking over your sister's body then giving it back and daggering her then she turned Alaric and some white oak dagger made from the bridge into some "ultimate weapon".... but that was before he went through transition.... he never wanted it! it was forced upon him! and now he's.... changed.... he....!"  she whispers he combs his fingers through her hair trying to soothe her in the best way he could "his life force is connected to Elena's.... I wasn't sure what killing him would do to her so I.... I just couldn't....!"  she adds he hugs her even closer to him "the doppelganger needs you Eli!.... your FAMILY needs you!"  she whispers into his ear "and I need sleep..... I'm tired!"  she adds softly he chuckles then carries her bridal style over to his coffin and lays her in it "I don't understand why they make these things so comfortable!.... the person that lays in it is usually dead and can't feel the comfort I'm pretty sure they don't actually care!.... maybe it's the "sleep" lie some parents tell their children"  she says softly as soon as her head hits the pillow and her body feels the comforting cushion of the inside of the coffin "I can't leave if you keep speaking!"  he teases "well then all I need is a blanket and a kiss then you can go play hero!"  she teases back then makes a cute pouty face puffed out lower lip, puppy dog eyes the works he chuckles then goes to get her a blanket and covers her up with it then kisses her lips and promises "I will return!"  before he walks out of the room.... "he's not gone.... Bonnie swapped him with Tyler"  Elijah hears Zyanya say into the wind as he hugs his sister after she told him that Klaus was dead "I would feel his death Eli but I'm fine!.... my skin's a little extra crispy but I'm fine.... my very first sunburn! you're going to help me when I start peeling like an orange right!?!"  he hears her tease and he chuckles.... when Elijah came back home to his children, little brother and the woman he loves he found Zyanya sitting on the couch staring at the fire that was lit in her fireplace "your sister did a very foolish thing Eli!.... she killed Elena while she had vampire blood in her system.... mind you no one knew at the time.... there's a Fell doctor who cheats when it comes to helping her patients"  Zyanya says softly when she hears him approach "my sister is well known for her foolery!"  Elijah replies as he walks over and sits beside her she lays her head on his shoulder and he wraps his arm around her back "she did it for the right yet selfish reasons but still!.... Elena didn't want this life.... she deserves better!.... she's faced too much loss for someone so young!.... the curse of being the doppelganger has finally lived up to it's title!"  she says "it's a dangerous time to be in Mystic Falls Lijah!.... there's a evangelistic cult leader like priest that was hired to hunt down the unnatural's.... and thanks to Alaric's darker side the council now knows about.... everyone!.... the one time I WANT to interfere and I CAN'T!.... if I do I may end up killing humans and I don't want to do that!.... I don't want to kill anymore Elijah!"  she tells him after a small pause and he hugs her even closer to her laying her head on his chest as he does so....
